Passing through the station

With its back against a small rocky mountain, several small tents were built.The innermost tent looked very ordinary, even a little old, but it was the warmest one.

A young Hungarian man carried a pile of firewood, pushed open the door of the tent, and walked in quickly. There were several downward steps at the door, which made the interior space of the tent larger. It is spring.

The young man put the firewood on the side, and put two more into the fire pit in the middle.There was a beeping sound from the snow-covered firewood, which seemed to bring a little wind, causing the pot on it to shake.There was a pot of haggis rolling inside, and I don't know how to make it. It was obviously very fishy, ​​but now it had a strong meaty smell.

The voice of a man with a bit of Zhou accent sounded: "The ancient ancestors of the Wuli people migrated around, looking for a place to live..."

The wind and snow whined outside, and the leather tent seemed to burst.But everything is an illusion, and the young Huns sitting in the tent are no longer as worried as they were at the beginning.

On the other side of the fire pond, a middle-aged man in his 30s was changing the dressing for a teenager, while telling some ancient legends.

The man's outline is soft, and his facial features are not as profound as those of a Hun.This is a businessman from the Zhou Dynasty. He is said to be a businessman, but his medical skills are much better than the witch doctors he has seen.

The young man listened fascinated, and asked a few questions from time to time: "Dazhou is so rich, why did the Wuli people migrate?" In the young man's perception, Dazhou is full of abundant food.The Zhou people were selfish and would rather leave so much fertile land empty than give any of it to the Huns.

The man shook his head and smiled wryly: "Is Dazhou rich? Do you know how many people starve to death in Dazhou every year? How many people died of illness due to lack of medical care? How many people died of corvee?" After treating the boy's leg injury, he stood up Pointing to the snowstorm outside, "Even in the capital city, in such a heavy snowstorm, the frozen people dragged out by the city defense department every day can pile up into mountains."

Probably not this year, but he still remembers the snow disaster more than ten years ago.At that time, his father was just a small editor in the Hanlin Academy, and he lived in poverty. If it weren't for the help and care of his colleagues, his family would have almost died in that snowstorm.

"Huh?" The boy was stunned.

The young man who had been roasting silently by the fire couldn't help asking: "The capital of Dazhou is so prosperous, how can someone freeze to death and starve to death?" The young man didn't believe it at all, "I met the envoy once, he said The roofs of the capital are all made of gold, and when the sun shines, it looks like the place where the gods live."

"Pfft." The woman's laughter came from the side. It was the man's wife, a Hun; seeing the three men in the tent looking at her together, she lowered her head slightly and whispered, "Who's there?" Will use gold as a roof, the emperor does not."

"Ah? Brother! You were cheated by the envoy!" The young man was furious.A month ago, his leg was bitten by a wolf. He thought he was going to die, but unexpectedly he met this strange couple.Her husband was a Zhou man who came to the grassland to do business, but he ran into a pack of wolves, and all the people in the caravan died. He also narrowly escaped death. He was lucky enough to meet a Hun tribe and was rescued by this Hun woman.But in order to be with him, Hun women were also driven out of the tribe.

In fact, in bad times, women of the Hun's age usually don't live very long.Limited food will be given priority to the elderly with high status, followed by young men who are the main combatants and children who are hopeful for the future, and then women who can bear children.The treatment of women over 30 years old is only slightly better than that of ordinary frail old people.

But this woman named A Ni, who lives with Zhou people, is doing well and is very capable.

Just when the young man was thinking about how to answer his younger brother, the door of the tent was pushed open, and their mother and the young man's wife came in.They held food and wool in their hands, and their exposed eyebrows were covered with snowflakes.

Ani stood up from the work shelf, served a bowl of haggis soup for them each, and another bowl for herself and her husband.

The ground full of gravel is not easy to dig deep, so they only dug down three feet in total. The firepit and the cross-shaped earth dragon were lit, and it was not warm enough.

The bowl is very small, a small soup bowl the size of a baby's palm that only Zhou people would use—this is the few goods left by Zhou people. If there were not a few pieces of haggis in it, the young man could finish it in one gulp.

Others drink soup at about the same speed as them, and if they drink slowly, the soup will get cold soon.Like drinking it while it is hot now, the whole person can be warmed up.

"Huh?" The young man chewed the food in his mouth. He thought it was all haggis, but it felt soft and sweet, "What else is in it?"

Ani just looked at the boy and smiled.

Seeing that other people were staring at him, the boy raised his chin and smiled triumphantly: "I dug a field mouse nest!" This is a kind of plant root hidden by field mice.

Everyone knows that voles can hide food.And what voles can eat, people can basically eat.A small vole can hide several catties, or even more than ten catties, of grain in its nest.

The field mouse dug by the boy was relatively "poor". After sorting it out, it was not enough for the whole family to eat.Of course, he dug it out as a consultation fee for the doctor, and he was already very satisfied to drink a small bowl like today.

Although the Huns rejected the Zhou people, they had no hostility towards a doctor who could cure diseases and save lives.Especially when the doctor received very little consultation fees and had a Hun wife who could teach people how to weave carpets.

Carpets are a luxury for people on the grasslands.Of course, the rugs made by Annie are not so beautiful, they can even be considered rough, but rugs are rugs after all!

The tuition fee paid to Ani by this small Hun tribe is much more expensive than the consultation fee paid to the Zhou doctor.

The two women learned to weave carpets from Ani for a while, and Ani watched from the side, pointing out a few words from time to time.It didn't take an hour for the two of them together. It wasn't that they didn't want to learn more, but that weaving carpets was really hard work.Although the temperature in the tent is much higher than outside, if you put your hands outside for a long time, it will still be cold to stiff.

It was not until sunset on the western mountain that the Hun family took their leave.If possible, they would like to stay.But although there are not many clansmen, there are also many.They were neither the most powerful nor the most infirm.If it weren't for the boy changing his dressing today, they wouldn't be able to stay that long.

When the people left, the man from Zhou came to the door and bolted the door, not too tightly, leaving a gap.

A Ni wiped the pot clean with snow, and re-boiled the water: "People have gone away?"

"Yeah." The man from Zhou wiped his face, and peeled off a thin layer of soft skin, revealing a face in his twenties, "It's boring after wearing it all day."

Ani also took off a mask from her face, revealing a beautiful face, but it was Aunt Ma.She moved the tent against the side of the mountain wall, revealing a small cave, which is actually a sunken pothole. The cat has worked hard for himself, and two small boxes are enough: "Axiu, I want to eat tonight." What?"

"Just do something simple." It was Yu Xiuyuan who was called Axiu, of course, he watched Aunt Ma busy with guilt wave after wave in his heart, "Ma'am is troubled by following me."

Last year, he was admitted to Juren, but of course he failed to be a Jinshi.Their family has a small house in the capital, and they originally thought that the young couple would spend a little time in the capital, study hard and manage their business, and then take the exam after three years.Unexpectedly, Ruan Bai caught him and arranged such a terrible errand.

The stimulation is quite exciting, but it is a bit bitter.

Aunt Ma smiled, and stewed the miscellaneous stew neatly: "It is obvious that Axiu has been troubled by following me." Her life and her current fortune were all given by Ruan Bai.What Ruan Bai wants her to do, she has absolutely nothing to say.On the contrary, Yu Xiuyuan just refused, and there was no problem.

In fact, it's not too late now, it's just that the wind and snow are heavy, and you can't see your fingers outside for a while.

Yu Xiuyuan was a little worried: "The eldest brother and the second brother are in the south, but nothing has happened; I just don't know how my parents are doing in Xishan City."

"Don't be afraid. Dad can't do it, and mother is still here."

That's what I said...it's true.Yu Xiuyuan chuckled twice: "The women in Xishan City are amazing." He and Mrs. Ma lifted up the quilt and dried it around the firepit.

Of course, it is impossible to dry the quilt after days of heavy snow.Blankets are always a little smelly and shed.It would be better if Madam Ma sewed a quilt cover.Cloth is considered a luxury. If it hadn't been for the discussion before, a small tribe separated from a tribe like this would rarely have cloth.

And in the tent of the boy's family not far away, the boy was pestering his father and asking, "Father, Uncle Xiu said that we Huns and Zhou people are all Uli people, right?" Although he almost blindly obeyed the savior , the teenager still can't believe this question, the two look so different!

Seeing that his youngest son's legs were about to heal, the Hun man was obviously very happy in his heart, and said with a smile, "Yo, that's really true. Your Uncle Axiu didn't lie to you."

"Really? Dad wouldn't lie to me too, would he?"

"Hey, you brat!" The Hungarian man had an astonishing posture, but he just patted the young man lightly, "If you don't believe your father, when you wait for the tribal fair, you can ask the witch doctor grandpa yourself!"

"Ah? But grandpa witch doctor is so scary." The boy obviously didn't want to.

"What's so scary about grandpa witch doctor. He likes children like you the most. When he is free, he will tell you stories. Your brother also heard it when he was young."

The boy turned to look at his brother.

The young man nodded: "That's right. Grandpa the witch doctor explained it in more detail than Uncle Xiu. Next year, brother will take you to Mount Wuli."

The boy's eyes were full of surprise: ah, we and the people of Zhou are really the same old ancestors.

For a combination like Yu Xiuyuan and Aunt Ma, Ruan Bai sent a total of more than 20 people.Their identities are different and their goals are different, but the results of the tasks achieved are similar.

One after another, ancient legends have been unearthed to enrich life.

How unbelievable, it turns out that the Huns and Zhou people are still brothers handed down from the same ancestor!

The author has something to say: Aunt Ma ╰(￣▽￣)╭: It turns out that Ah Xiu’s medical skills are so powerful!

Xiaoyu￣へ￣: Of course, as a literati, you must have one or two hobbies!

Daddy Fish (﹃﹃)~→: Didn’t you become a doctor after a long period of illness because you were injured all the time?

Aunt Ma╰(￣▽￣)╭: What are Dad’s hobbies?

Fish Dad￣へ￣: Dad’s hobbies are amazing!Saying it scares you to death, so I don't say it.

Yumama-_-|||: Your father's hobby is fishing, and he is always caught in the river by fish, so his specialty is swimming.

Aunt Ma￣△￣: Hey!

Daddy Fish (〃>Dish<): Don't make trouble!
