Chapter 411 Betting

Xia Zihan also went to the bonfire party and met Lan Tu, Lan Tu's wife, and Lan Tu's three wives.

After the party, Xia Zihan quietly followed Lan Tu, sneaked outside his tent, and hid in a dark place.

It wasn't until the lights inside went out and a long time passed that Xia Zihan showed up. Just as he was about to sneak into the tent, suddenly, a group of Tatars carrying broadswords came over.

Xia Zihan was startled and hurriedly hid in the darkness. It was not until the team of people walked over and turned in another direction that she walked out of the darkness.

“@¥#%¥……%&……”

“#¥#¥%¥%……”

Inside the tent, low voices of women and men could be heard, as well as a woman's delicate laughter. Then, there were gasps and the sound of a hammer hitting the wall.

Even though Xia Zihan didn't understand what they said before, there was nothing he didn't understand when he heard this voice.

The corners of her eyes twitched.

Well, it's really unlucky that I found Lan Tu's place of residence and ended up being the one who listened to him.

Xia Zihan flew away quietly. As soon as she arrived at the door of Ham's house, she saw Mabao and Ham with anxious faces.

"Where have you been and why did you come back? Are you really lost?" Ham muttered.

In his eyes, if a grown man gets lost, he is a fool, and moreover, he is a fool who cannot speak.

Xia Zihan pointed fingers and apologized.

Sorry, she doesn't understand.

But Ham thought that she was embarrassed because they had been looking for her for so long.

Ham waved his hand and yawned, "It's okay, it's okay. Go to sleep, ha, ah..."

He opened his mouth again and let out a big yawn.

Ham entered and climbed into his bed. After a while, he slept like a dead pig. Ma Bao and Xia Zihan looked at each other and quietly left the tent.

After they were far away from the tribe and found nothing unusual, the two of them lowered their voices and told everything they had learned.

"You mean, Lankes also disappeared?" Xia Zihan asked in surprise, "When?"

"Two months ago."

"The same day as Aqi disappeared?"

"Well, but Lankes is not missing. When he left, he left a letter to Lantu." Otherwise, Lantu would not have sent someone to find Lankes.

"Did you find out clearly what the letter said?" Xia Zihan squeezed her hands so tightly that she even dug her nails into her flesh, but she didn't even notice.

"There is a guard next to Lantu who is somewhat related to Ham. Just now, when we were looking for you, we happened to meet a patrol. The man said a few words to Ham, and then Ham mentioned going to Ur. Regarding the matter, the man mentioned Lankes and said that Lantu originally wanted Lankes to participate in this warrior competition, but Lankes left. Even if Lantu wanted to, he had to find someone first. < br>


"When I came back, my servant pretended to be curious and asked Ham about Lankes. Ham didn't have any doubts, so he told Ham about Lankes."

The fact that Lankes left was not a secret in the Kranglin tribe. Basically, all the herdsmen in the tribe knew about it, so there was no need for Ham to hide it.

"Mabao, ask about the content of the letter. I want to know where Lankes went." She had a hunch that as long as she found Lankes, she would be able to find Chu Jingqi.

And her Aqi is most likely hiding in a corner, peering into the entire grassland, looking for opportunities to get rid of all the Tatar leaders.

"Yes, Princess." Ma Bao saluted respectfully, and then said, "Princess, tomorrow, I'd better find another place to stay. Ham's family is really too poor."


They were so poor that they didn't even have extra cubicles, and they even let guests sleep in outside rooms.

"Mabao." Xia Zihan's face suddenly became serious, "Are you afraid that you will bully me? Or will you cross the line?"

"No... no." Ma Bao blushed and said with great grievance, "How dare I do that? No, I don't even have that thought. I'm just afraid of wronging the princess. Besides, Ham is still sleeping outside. .”

"We are outside and don't care so much. Just treat us as if we are in the rivers and lakes and can't help ourselves."

Qi Mei said that the children who traveled around the country sometimes had to sleep outside and did not avoid suspicion. Men and women took a nap around the fire together, and no girl was seen coy and wanted to hide aside to rest.

She just thought that she was running around in the world.

"Finding Aqi is the most important thing. Don't worry about those unimportant things. This is not the capital." Xia Zihan said again.

Ma Bao grimaced and said oh.

Wow, this is not a trivial matter.

The young master has always been domineering and possessive towards the princess. If he knew that the princess was sleeping with a foreign man and him in an outer room, would he still have to peel off his skin?

When Ma Bao thought of Chu Jingqi's rage, how could he think about sleeping? He was not sleepy at all. When he returned to the tent, he sat upright on a chair with his eyes closed. He pretended to sleep, saying nothing but going to bed, and he liked to lie down together. Even if the bed was wide enough, if they lay together in time, they would not touch the corner of Xia Zihan's clothes, and Ma Bao was determined not to climb on it.

Woo hoo, crawling into the bed of his master's wife, it's not like he doesn't want to live anymore.

The miserable Ma Bao slept on the chair all night. Before the Ham family got up, he went outside to watch the Tatars wrestling.

The Tatars have a habit of gathering together and wrestling every morning.

The people watching will also bet together, but they are not betting on silver coins, but on cattle, sheep and horses. The winner will give a quarter of the items won to the warrior who won the wrestling. Ham loves wrestling and comes every morning, and today is no exception.

Just when Ma Bao stood still, he saw Ham running over with an excited face, and then flew into the crowd, shouting, "Count me in, whoever fights me."

"Tch, if anyone fights you, you will always lose."

"I also win sometimes." Ham said not to be outdone.

"Three hundred times a year, you only win once. Is that called winning?" The people around laughed loudly and laughed at Hamm.

Ham seemed to be used to being laughed at and was not angry. He said, "It's better than some people who dare not come up."

The person who laughed at him the most was a timid person who didn't dare to wrestle with others. He only liked gambling and watching people wrestling.

Ham doesn't like gambling, but he likes wrestling. On the contrary, this is why he goes to Urga to watch the warriors wrestling.

Watching real warriors wrestling once is better than five years of training. For such a good gathering, not only Hamm, but all brave men from the entire grassland will go to Urga.

There was a relatively thin Tatar who rushed towards Ham with a smile, "I'm here to fight you, Ham, if you want to lose, take off your pants."

"I definitely can't be the one taking off my pants," Ham said.

Suddenly, the two people were entangled in a ball.

The people around became excited and shouted. Soon, someone called, "Bet, come and bet."

"I bet two sheep on Muya."

"I am a sheep, Ham."

"My two sheep, Mu Ya."

……

In the middle of the crowd, Ham and others were going back and forth, fighting hard to separate each other. Outside the crowd, more and more people were placing bets.

Ma Bao noticed that many soldiers who had joined the army also came to place bets. He placed his bets and left quickly.

Ma Bao also saw Ham's relatives. Ma Bao was so happy that he went up to say hello.

"How many sheep did you pledge to Ham?" the man asked Ma Bao.

Where did I get the sheep?

Ma Bao cursed in his belly, but said, "I pledged a silver bar."

"A silver bar?" The man stared at Ma Bao in disbelief, "Ham will lose. Your silver bar is wasted."

Then, under Ma Bao's sight, he decisively bet on Mu Ya to win, and also bet on five sheep.

Five sheep is already a lot, but it is not as much as Ma Bao. One silver bar and one tael of silver can buy seven sheep.

Ma Bao twitched the corner of his mouth, then got close to him, and mentioned Lankes intentionally or unintentionally, "Chief Lantu wanted him to be a powerful warrior, but he didn't know where he went. Over there with Urga, just It's about to start. If he hasn't come back yet, I will miss the games in a few years. Ham and I will go to Urga to watch the games. It would be great if Lanks can go. If he can come back with the title of warrior, then the leader of Lantu will be embarrassed. There is light on it too.”

"That loser Lankes didn't even mention where he was going. If he had, Leader Lantu would have sent someone to kidnap him back."

"Is he afraid of Leader Lantu?" Ma Bao looked curious and surprised.

"He ran away because he was scared." The man said with contempt.

Unexpectedly, Ham actually won. Ma Bao won seven sheep, but Ham's relatives lost five sheep. They stared at Mu Ya so angry that he could eat Mu Ya.

Ham laughed loudly, "You deserve it. We are relatives. You didn't bet on me to win, but instead bet on me to lose. You lost. You deserve it."

The man said so that his face turned red.

But Ham was very happy. He pulled Ma Bao and said, "Go back to eat and come back tomorrow morning."

Ham's grandma had already prepared rice, which was a noodle soup and haggis soup cooked with flour and haggis. The taste made it difficult for Xia Zihan to swallow after taking one bite.

However, seeing Haya's eyes glancing over at her from time to time, Xia Zihan gulped it down and poured the bowl of something she couldn't name into her stomach. Then, she was worried that she would have diarrhea.

Fortunately, she didn't have diarrhea all morning and her stomach was fine, so she felt relieved.

The herdsmen only eat two meals a day, not eating at noon but eating at night. Xia Zihan, who was not full, started growling with hunger at noon.

Fortunately, Ma Bao won seven sheep. Ma Bao felt sorry for his mistress, so he wanted to eat a whole roasted sheep, so he killed the fattest sheep directly, and then asked Hamm's aunt to cook a bowl of sheep blood for him. Xia Zihan eats it.

Xia Zihan stared at the bright red bowl of sheep blood, her heart pounding, as if what she was being asked to drink was human blood instead of sheep blood.

Seeing Haya's expression unchanged, she drank up the bowl of sheep's blood in one gulp. Xia Zihan also held her breath and drank it all in one gulp, just like drinking water.

Hey, it doesn’t smell like blood, it’s quite fresh and delicious.

At least, it tastes better than goat milk.
