Elena Wei's Silent Vigil and Shadows Over the Border Chapter 36

After Yizhixie, several more tribal leaders arrived with their people.

Towards evening, various tribes set up camps with the Chanyu's tent as the center, and tents of different styles stretched for dozens of miles.

The slaves were driven out of the sheepfold, set up a firewood pile in front of the camp, and slaughtered cattle and sheep. Women wearing only sheepskins cleaned the cattle and sheep and put them on the fire. If they were slow, they would be whipped.

Children who were not even as tall as the wheels of the car were crowded in the sheepfold. The linen on their bodies could not keep out the night wind, so they could only snuggle up to the ewes and lambs to keep warm.

The bonfire was burning fiercely, and the fat from the beef and mutton dripped into the fire, exploding with a crisp sound.
