Chapter 185: Work Harder
"I don't know." Agula excitedly walked out from behind the firewood pile and stretched out his hand to take it. He thought he had to wait until everyone here fell asleep before he could get the medicine.
But he didn't expect that Shen Xiaoye had just stuffed the bottle into his hand, and then put both hands on his arms at the same time, and in an instant, the world was spinning.
Bang, snap
Shen Xiaoye subdued Agula with a shoulder throw, and the eldest girl and the medicine boy who were decocting medicine ran out of the door.
The medicine boy was about twelve or thirteen years old, but he was very clever. He picked up a wooden stick from the medicine drying rack at the door and shouted, "Master, Senior Brother, there is a thief."
Although it was already dark, they could still see a person half-kneeling in the darkness, and a male voice growled from there: "Shen Xiaoye, why did you lie to me?"
"Xiao Ye?" Da Nan asked in a trembling voice, hiding behind the medicine boy.
Shen Xiaoye first smuggled a piece of cloth out of space to stuff Agula's mouth, then looked up at her and said, "We caught a thief, cousin, go to the front ward to find cousin Geng.
This guy, please find a rope and help me get it."
"Oh oh." Although Da Nan loved to show off in front of Shen Xiaoye in the past, ever since the eldest brother told her about what Xiaoye did when she saved him last time, he knew that she could really hit people.
Now that she had caught a thief, Da Nan was very smart and did as she was told. Even though she ran into a clinic clerk who was rushing towards her after just two steps, she did not stop.
On this side, the clever medicine boy not only took the rope, but also brought the kitchen light. He immediately saw Shen Xiaoye with one knee on the thief's back, and both hands were holding the thief's hands that were twisted on his back.
The two men worked together to put the rope into Agula, and the man on duty tonight and the doctor came running over.
When everyone had almost tied up the man, Shen Cungeng rushed over in a panic. He looked Xiaoye up and down, and seeing that she was not injured, he looked at the thief.
Then his eyes widened, "Agula, why are you here?"
"Woo woo woo." Agula pouted and couldn't answer.
Shen Xiaoye patted him and said, "Don't make noise, cooperate and answer the questions, I will take you to Beijing later."
"Is this your man?" The doctor originally wanted to hand the man over to the government.
"I know him." Shen Cungeng just nodded, and the doctor said, "Can you two explain? He obviously jumped in from outside the wall."
At the reminder of the medicine boy, he checked the firewood pile and the wall.
Shen Cungeng looked at Xiaoye, fully expecting her to say it was a misunderstanding, but he heard her say, "This person is someone the government in the capital is looking for, and we can't hand him over to the government office now."
The doctor immediately said, "Before the night curfew, please take him to another place."
"Yes, but please lend me a room first. I'll leave after I've interrogated him." Shen Xiaoye didn't plan to stay in the clinic.
"Cousin, go get Uncle Changshun to look after Cousin Hui. It's not appropriate for only the two cousins to be here." The couple didn't know what they were hesitating about, and neither of them came to look for their son.
Shen Cungeng thought about it and felt that if he didn't stay here tonight, it would be unsuitable for the two girls to stay.
But he discussed with the doctor and asked his men to help Xiao Ye look after Agula. The doctor thought for a moment and agreed.
So when Shen Cungeng sent his two cousins away, Shen Xiaoye was already in a guest room in the backyard of the clinic, interrogating Agula.
Outside the door, there stood the strongest clinic attendant.
"I trusted you wrongly." Agula regretted so much. He shouldn't have called her out loud, and now he is tied up while his father is still waiting for medicine to save his life.
Shen Xiaoye said slowly: "Agula, I will buy medicine for your father's injuries, but you have to tell me how he got to the capital from Mobei."
"I don't believe you anymore." Agula turned his head away and didn't intend to say anything else.
Shen Xiaoye didn't mind his attitude, "Before, I chased your car and saw that the wheel was broken.
I'm sure your father's injuries have been compounded after the fall, and every second you waste will bring him one step closer to death."
"You are not allowed to curse him." Agula turned his head and glared at her fiercely.
Oh my God, he suspected that except for Uncle Shen, all the members of the Shen family were wolves of the grassland.
When he was escaping by car, he saw Shen Xiaoye standing on the street. He never thought that she was in the clinic he found.
If he had known this earlier, he would have stolen the medicine somewhere else.
"You know best whether it is a curse or not, otherwise they wouldn't have risked sneaking into the clinic." Shen Xiaoye suspected that there were cavalrymen from the Guard Division tracking them father and son, otherwise the two wouldn't even dare to buy medicine.
Well, can we reasonably infer that Guard Xia first discovered the people from the Guard Bureau and then chased after them?
Thinking of this person, she added: “You know, I have a Tiqi as a guard, he will be here soon if he goes to get some things.
Oh, by the way, you should have heard of the Imperial Prison, they have many torture instruments in there."
Agula's body froze. After being in the capital for so long, he already knew that the people in charge of arresting people by the Guard Bureau were called Tiqi.
The person who had been protecting (monitoring) him recently was also Tiqi, and he was killed by his father's partners after being drugged by him.
If I am caught by them again, will they torture me?
Agula had lived on the grassland since he was a child, and he often saw disobedient slaves being beaten half to death. He had never felt that kind of pain, but he knew that he would not be able to bear it, and he might fight to the death or commit suicide.
But he didn't want to die, "Are you going to hand me over to him?"
“It’s up to you to be honest with me.
You should know that the Emperor of the Great Zhou has always been tolerant and generous to the Dada tribe who are willing to surrender.
As long as you and your son are honest about everything, I believe His Majesty will not hold a grudge against the past." It is impossible for the Great Zhou to carry out an unjust massacre on the grasslands by using one faction to fight another, so it is necessary to carry out strategic differentiation.
Shen Xiaoye deliberately did not mention that his guard Si Tiqi was killed, and just said: "Agula, do you think life on the grassland is better, or in the capital of the Great Zhou?"
Of course, the capital is better. You don’t have to move around to find water and grass. There is meat, rice and vegetables, and the variety is incomparable to that in Mobei.
Agula hesitated, and Shen Xiaoye added, "My uncle said that your father is your only relative in your tribe.
He has come here now, and killed his companions because of you. If he goes back to Mobei, can he still gain the trust of your Grand Tutor?
If he loses his position, will you still be able to eat mutton anytime and live in a warm tent? "
Many people think that the nomadic Dada people eat meat every day, but in fact, it is impossible for ordinary herders to eat meat regularly.
Only during grand festivals could the herdsmen get some meat.
There is also arable land in the grassland area, especially north of the Onon River, where there are many reclaimed fields and Dada can eat the crops grown there.
However, ordinary Dada people, who have low productivity and no status, mostly rely on gathering wild vegetables and wild animals for food.
Agula shuddered at the thought of this kind of life; he couldn't stand it.
However, my father tried his best to take me away from Da Zhou because he loved the grassland.
Shen Xiaoye observed his struggling expression and wondered if he should try harder.
