The next day, the atmosphere in Changle County was a little more solemn than usual. The people in the county also heard about the big cannibals losing two Kunlun slave boys.

Regarding this matter, let’s not talk about what everyone thinks about it for now, and they will definitely not admit it on the surface.

After all, Apu is Luo Yong's subordinate. It is illegal to abduct other people's slaves. If this matter is not done well, the county magistrate Luo will have to follow him. If his position as county magistrate is removed, they will ask them to find such a good county magistrate.

"Those two Kunlun slaves clearly ran away by themselves, so why did they get involved with Ah Pu? Could it be that he was also a Kunlun slave?" Most of the people of Changle had this attitude.

These words were heard by the great cannibals and immediately stopped: "If he hadn't abducted our Kunlun slave, why would he hide now?"

"You big cannibals are so fierce. I would have to hide."

"What do you say!"

"Hey! What are you doing? Will you still beat someone?"

"Do not do what you do,"

"The servant is here! The servant is here!"

"Oh, it's dispersed."

“…”

Compared with the officials and their families who traveled here, the local people in Changle County seem much calmer when facing such things, and are not very scared when facing the cannibals.

Even every household has become more vigilant than usual. Their children do not let them play around in the city or outside the city. When they see other people's children running around, they will inevitably scold them and ask them to go home quickly. In addition, they should live their lives as they should, carry the loads, and do business. They should not let these things delay their livelihoods.

The weather is getting colder and autumn is coming, and the season for paying taxes is coming soon. After autumn, it is winter. Now save more rice, grain, money and money to make it easier to get through the winter.

Those big cannibals are still looking for people everywhere, and the people in the county are busy with their own things, but they are less joking than usual. When they see those big cannibals walking on the street, they will inevitably show some vigilance on their faces.

In the afternoon of that day, several tenant farmers from the government's field entered the city and made a noise at the county government's office. They said that other people's corn had already grown ears, but why did their corn not bear good fruit? It must be because there was something wrong with the corn seeds given to them by the government.

These tenants had never planted corn before, and this year was the first year, so it was inevitable that some problems were encountered during the planting process. Luo Yong often went over to take a look when he had nothing to do on weekdays.

Luo Yong also knew the two families who came today. The weather was warm and cold at that time. To be on the safe side, these two families set the day to grow corn later than others. So the corn in other families was budded at this time, and his family had to wait a little longer. Why did they come to the door today? Luo Yong guessed that this matter was probably related to Apu and the others.

After last night, Apu and the other two hid. Luo Yong sent someone to the cement workshop, but he could not find anyone. The workers in the cement workshop could not tell where they were going.

But there were two city people working there secretly told a servant they knew that they did have two Kunlun slave boys who went to the cement workshop to find Apu last night.

At this time, Luo Yong walked to the county government office and saw a tenant farmer wink at him, so he realized that he knew.

Luo sent out these tenants who were causing trouble in a few words. It was too early to say that the season was too early and asked them to continue to serve the corn in the field carefully. If they could not be sprouted after a while, he would take someone over to take a look.

On the other hand, he secretly arranged several alert servants to secretly follow these tenants out of the city and protect them secretly.

That night, while the city was patrolling the night, Apu and his men secretly changed into the service's clothes, mixed in the service team while the night was dark, and then went to the county government with them.

"How could you get yourself into this field?" When Luo Yong saw Apu, he couldn't help asking him.

Originally, with Apu's current situation, following Luo Yong's side, he would never have to worry about his future prospects. He is smart and steady, with a strong and responsible personality. Luo Yong also hopes that he can become his right-hand man one day.

If the two Kunlun slaves had a connection with Apu, they would help him with as long as they asked him for money. Now the liquor in their county is selling well and there are a lot of daily income, so why did they get such a land now?

But Apu didn't say anything. He just bent down his knees and knelt on the ground in front of Luo Yong, leaned over and pressed his cheek against his knees. Tears as big as beans rolled down on Luo Yong's robe, fainting a small dark water stain.

At this moment, he felt sad and guilty. His tribe was hunted and sold like animals. He was lucky enough to be rescued and followed this amazing boy. He had not yet repaid his kindness. Today, because of his actions, the other party was put in such a passive situation...

"What's the use of these now? What's your plan in the future? But you have to go back to Chang'an City?" The only place that can make those great cannibals dare not be presumptuous is probably the only place left.

"If I don't go to Chang'an City, I plan to take them back, our hometown." Apu said.

If you can't go to Chang'an City, those great cannibals will not let them go easily. The great cannibals will neither allow those who abduct their slaves to live peacefully nor allow Kunlun slaves to live like an ordinary citizen in the Tang Dynasty. They can only be commodities.

Maybe Luo Yong has a way to protect him, but there is no other way to do this except seeking help from those big families.

He didn't want things to develop like this. Yesterday afternoon, when he was standing by the roadside and talking to several Dunhuang vendors who came to buy cement, he happened to meet the Dashi caravan that drove Kunlun slaves to Changle County. Among these Kunlun slaves, there were two young people, who were members of Apu's tribe.

They recognized Apu, and Apu also recognized him, but neither of them spoke.

Those traders who bought cement had a great bargaining price. Apu couldn't walk for a while and finally settled the deal. It was already evening and the city started a curfew. He originally planned to discuss the matter with Luo Yong early tomorrow morning. After all, these people stayed in Changle County and would not leave if they had not been in one or two days.

He never thought that these two black teenagers escaped and came to him that night. After a few words, there was a movement in the county town. When the big cannibals saw Apu in the daytime, they were a little surprised. Why could a Kunlun slave still talk about business with people like this? They didn't look like slaves, and they were obviously a manager. So after they lost the person, they first thought of looking for the cement workshop.

At this time, it was too late for Apu to send someone back quietly.

Moreover, what made him feel very painful was that these two Kunlun slave boys brought him news from the clan, saying that the cannibals were constantly expanding to the outside world, eroding the river bank where they depended for their lives. Many tribes that originally lived there had disappeared silently. The people in those tribes either died or became slaves, and their tribes could not last long.

Apu is the eldest son of the chief and the next tribe leader. He originally planned to learn a lot of knowledge here and then go back to strengthen his tribe, but now it seems that their tribe has obviously not been waiting for that day.

"I want to go back." Apu raised his wet and dark face and said to Luo Yong, his eyes heavy and firm.

"Can you travel through the Western Regions controlled by the Great Cannibal?"

After such a long time of getting along, Luo Yong could probably infer that Apu's hometown should be in the Nile River Basin, which is quite close to the Arabian Peninsula. The cannibals often go to the black tribes in that area to catch people and take them back to serve as slaves.

From Changle County to the Nile River Basin, not only is the road long, but it has to cross the desert and Gobi, but it even has to pass through large areas of Dashi land. How can these few people do this?

Ap said: "I can."

Even if you die on the road, it will be better than doing nothing and let your tribe be destroyed.

Luo put his hand on his shoulder: "Okay, I'll prepare it for you in the next few days."

Luo Yong's heart was also heavy at this moment. It was a very lucky thing for him to be Li Shi Luo Sanlang in this life. His family is living well now, so there is no need to worry that they will be slaughtered and sold like wild animals.

Going back is likely to be a road without going back for Apu, but he must do that.

A few days later, the atmosphere in the city was still tense, and the great cannibals who lost Kunlun slaves were still looking for people everywhere.

They contacted another big cannibal caravan who originally lived in Changle County and asked the other party to help them find someone. The people seemed to agree, but they didn't seem to be active.

Luo Yong started to prepare supplies for Apu and the others in the past few days, while asking people to strengthen the nutrition of the two black teenagers. Their physical condition was too weak, and it was hard to imagine how to cross the desert again with such physical conditions.

But they had to leave. Apu and the others might still have the possibility of staying, but these two teenagers were absolutely not good. They were fugitive slaves, and this time the matter was so big that once they were caught, those big cannibals would never spare their lives.

"Please take these two pills. If the wounds on them become suppurated, feed them a piece." Considering the long and arduous journey they were going to face, Luo Yong divided two pills from the few remaining anti-inflammatory drugs for Apu.

"Here." Apu carefully took the pill. When he first arrived in Xipo Village, he was also very weak. Luo Yong used such a small pill to save his life.

"The national strength of Dashi is strong, not only now, but in the next few decades, they will continue to be strong and expand outward. With the power of your tribe, it is probably difficult to resist. After finding your tribe, you should find a way to bring them to the Tang Dynasty."

The current Dashi is the rule of Islam, during the reign of Allah Muhammad, the country was united unprecedentedly, and the national strength was also thriving. After decades, their power will continue to expand eastward, and sooner or later they will collide with the Tang forces that are constantly expanding westward. It is obvious that they will use the power of a tribe to resist such a powerful nation.

"I know."

In the face of such a huge disparity of power, no matter how hatred and angry it is, I can only choose to avoid it. As long as I can leave a trace of fire, there may be a possibility of returning to my hometown in the future. If everyone dies, there will be nothing left.

"This is a grain seed. If you carry it with you, it will sprout green buds and grow into branches in spring. When the green bud grows to a foot high, cut it off, cut it into two or three pieces, insert it into the soil, and water it. As long as it can produce roots smoothly, you will get something after four months. This grain grows in mud and likes dry land that faces the sun..."

Luo Yong said as he took out two sweet potatoes from his arms and put them in Apu's hand.

All of this is a painful disaster for Apu, but it is also an opportunity, an opportunity for Luo Yong to cover up his eyes and secretly take out sweet potato seeds.

"This is..." Apu looked at Luo Yong with confusion.
