King Akle first settled Leo in a stone house, fed the horse, and then left again.
Leo was used to communicating with him through gestures most of the time, and he didn't ask him what he was doing, but just said, "I'm going to go for a walk in the city."
He always liked to go to a place and wander around. It was almost the New Year and he only had three years left to live. What else could he do without any desires? He could only see and learn more. King Akler gave him a necklace made of wolf teeth, which was decorated with colorful jewels. The idea was to distinguish his identity and prevent him from being robbed by the Huns.
Four hundred years have passed. The traces of war during the Han Dynasty have long been gently smoothed by time. What remains is the center of the city built with black stones, the former Xiongnu royal court. The Xiongnu, Rouran, and even Tiele people have occupied this place. Leo walked towards the stone palace in the wind and snow, as if he could still see the former glory.
A group of Xiongnu people were warming themselves by the fire in the royal court. When they saw a Han Chinese coming, they looked at him curiously for a moment, and someone invited him to drink. Leo simply greeted them, went back to get some dry food, and distributed it to them.
