Li Tong is a member of a noble family after all, so he has naturally learned the six arts of a gentleman, otherwise he would not be carrying a sword with him.

It's just that his body was heavily suppressed, but it was inconvenient for him to take out the sword with his hand. He was about to hold the scabbard with his backhand and thrust it back.

Unexpectedly, the person holding him down stretched out another hand and strangled his neck tightly, making him unable to breathe and rolling his eyes.

At the same time, someone else pounced on his hand and kicked over the fire, burning his face with sparks.

Before Li Tong could see who was behind him, his hands and feet were already tied tightly like four horses' hooves. At the same time, something unknown was stuffed into his mouth. The fishy smell made him almost want to vomit.

At the same time, the visitor wrapped his mouth with a piece of cloth, and finally tied a knot on the back of his head so that he could not make any sound.

There was only a "clang" sound, and someone half pulled out his sword, looked at it, and then said something he couldn't understand.

Hearing this accent, Li Tong's heart sank.

"Human?"

The visitor packed up all the things he had brought with him, then put out the fire without leaving a trace, and then carried him away.

Although it was dark, it was obvious that these people knew the road in the mountains. They had many twists and turns along the way. It was not known how long they had walked. Li Tong felt that his clothes were scraped into tatters by the branches along the way, and even his face was stained.

Burning pain.

A few people finally turned into a cave. There were several fires in the cave, and a group of people were sitting around each fire.

With so many people sitting inside, there is still a lot of space left. It can be seen that this is a very big cave.

Seeing someone coming in from outside, people around the fire turned to look over.

Li Tong tried his best to raise his head and looked up, and saw that all those people had disheveled hair, reflecting the firelight, but their faces were hidden under the long hair, making it difficult to see their true faces, which looked extremely strange.

With a "bang", Li Tong was thrown to the ground, which was so shocking that all his bones almost fell apart and he almost vomited out his overnight meal.

But his whole body was tied tightly and he couldn't move at all. He just felt extremely uncomfortable.

Someone stood up from the fire in the middle, walked up to Li Tong, pinched his face with one hand, looked at him, and said something in nonsense.

When the others heard this, they all laughed.

Facing the firelight, Li Tong finally saw his face clearly.

I saw that he had deep eyes, a hooked nose, and a very typical barbarian face.

"Han Chinese?"

This person asked in blunt Chinese and at the same time asked someone to remove the cloth covering his mouth. It seemed that he must be a leader.

Except for the Hu people who often live together with the Han people, in general, except for the leader, no one in the Hu tribe can speak Chinese.

Li Tong quickly spit out what was in his mouth and took a few deep breaths.

"Yes." Regardless of the soreness and pain in his neck, he raised his head with great effort and showed a flattering smile, "This leader, I am from the Li family in Shuzhong. As long as you let me go, I can ask my family to send food.

Come and exchange."

After hearing this, the barbarian leader grinned, touched Li Tong's face and neck, and squeezed his shoulders, "No wonder the skin and flesh are so tender."

There was a greedy light in his eyes.

Feeling hands like old tree bark groping his body, Li Tong got goosebumps all over his body.

"Whatever you want, you can tell me and I'll ask my family to send it over."

When Li Tong saw that the Hu leader did not answer his words, he thought that he had spoken too fast and the other party could not hear clearly. He suppressed the panic and discomfort in his heart and quickly slowed down his speaking speed and repeated.

"Then your people came over and captured us?"

The Hu leader slapped Li Tong on the face and said coldly, "How many people have you Han captured in the past two years? In order to escape your pursuit, we fled into the mountains."

"Who would have come back if we hadn't run out of food? I didn't expect that I was so lucky these days that I could catch such a tender lamb."

He didn't say much, but Li Tong understood the terrifying meaning in it. Before he could scream, the barbarian leader stuffed back what he had just spit out and tied it tightly with a cloth strip.

Although Li Tong wanted to explain that that kind of thing had nothing to do with him and that the evil-minded Tian Shelang was the initiator, but they refused to listen to him and just threw him into a corner.

There was a strong smell of blood in the corner. Li Tong turned over and saw an object hanging not far away, but the fire did not illuminate it, so he could not tell what it was.

The barbarian leader walked back to the fire. He didn't know what he said, but he could only hear a roar of laughter from the other side.

The cave is filled with a happy atmosphere.

Li Tong huddled in the corner, finally feeling regretful in his heart.

What does it mean to be sent to Nanxiang by your family?

What does it mean to be slapped a few times by my sister?

Sent to Nanxiang by his family, he was still the legitimate son and still had no worries about food and clothing.

After being slapped several times by his sister, he returned to Zhuangzi. He was still the master of Zhuangzi. When all the servants saw him, they all bowed their heads and saluted.

If it falls into the hands of barbarians, life or death is uncertain.

Exiting the Shu region, heading to the northwest is the Hu region. In recent years, many people from the north have come to Shu, and even the legends of the Hu people from the north have been introduced to the Shu region.

Besides, many Hu people have been captured in Nanxiang in the past two years, and Li Tong also knew some of the customs of the Hu people.

If a woman lives in a barren land, she will become a tool for the barbarians to raise children. If a man lives in a barbarian land, he will become a sheep slave or a cow slave. That is for sure.

I heard that the Hu people would use people as food rations when they were short of food, and even their skulls would be polished into drinking utensils.

I don't know if it's true...

Thinking of this, Li Tong felt extremely frightened, his whole body was trembling, and he felt even more regretful.

If he had to do it all over again, he would not dare to leave Hanzhong alone even if he were killed.

The night gradually deepened, the voices on the other side became softer, the flames of the fire became lower, and it seemed that everyone was beginning to fall asleep.

Li Tong only felt numb and painful, cold and hungry. Coupled with the huge fear in his heart, he did not dare to close his eyes.

Even if his eyelids are drooped, as soon as he closes his eyes, he will wake up suddenly.

He didn't know how long it had been in such a daze, but just as he closed his eyes, he seemed to hear a scream. He thought it was because he was too tired and had an auditory hallucination.

Unexpectedly, someone started shouting in the cave. Taking advantage of the coals that had not yet been extinguished, I saw people standing up one after another, holding sticks and other objects in their hands.

But before they could rush out, there was a sound of breaking through the air from the entrance of the cave, and at the same time there was the sound of a bow string being pulled.

Then the people in the cave screamed several more times.

A loud shout came: "Those who abandon their weapons will not be killed!"

Then he said it again in nonsense.

The barbarians in the cave screamed, and many of them were obviously stunned.

Some people rushed out desperately, but soon there was another burst of screams.

When Li Tong in the corner heard this familiar accent, his eyes watered. He squirmed and struggled hard. For the first time, he felt that Chinese was as beautiful as celestial music.

The battle started suddenly, but ended even faster.

The Hu people, who had killed or wounded more than ten people, looked at the Han army outside the cave entrance, which was filled with strong bows and crossbows. They finally dropped the crude weapons in their hands and retreated one after another.

Only then did Li Tong discover that there was a faint white light outside the cave entrance. It turned out that it was already daybreak.

He saw a few torches being thrown in from outside, lighting up the cave brightly, then a few Han soldiers holding shields came in carefully, and finally there were soldiers holding weapons.

After confirming that the Hu people had no sense of resistance, the soldiers from outside swarmed in and drove the Hu people away like cattle and sheep.

Li Tong was in the corner, squirming back and forth like a maggot, making "wuwu" sounds in his mouth, trying to make some noise to attract the attention of the soldiers.

It's a pity that he was tied too tightly, his mouth was sealed too tightly, and the movement he made was too small, so no one noticed him.

"Light the torch and see if there is anything missing."

After all the barbarians were driven out, the leader said something.

After a while, someone finally came to this corner holding a torch and said, "Hey, there's something else here."

Hearing this, Li Tong burst into tears. Have you finally seen me?

"It's a person."

The soldier holding the torch put it close to Li Tong's face, looked at it carefully, and turned around and shouted, "Captain Qu, there is a Han here."

"Are you alive?"

"Alive."

"This kid is lucky enough to survive a night in a barbarian den."

The music director came over to take a look and said, "Yes, the one tied like this is the one from last night. Please help him untie it quickly."

Hearing this, Li Tong felt very angry. When he was caught last night, were they following him?

But after what happened last night, he was much more careful and did not dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction on his face.

"Hey, what's this hanging about?"

The soldier holding the torch saw something hanging next to it, so he moved the torch closer and turned the thing over.

"Don't look!"
