Chapter 451: Elopement
Remember [Pen โ Fun รท Pavilion in one second.], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
The moment the door closed, Ayimu quickly let go of my hand.
I looked at her with a slight smile, it turned out that she was so innocent, I didn't find that my chest was on my arm along the way, and I guess all my attention was on those big men, otherwise she would have died of embarrassment.
I could see her expression in the room, but she couldn't see a wicked smile, but it wasn't good to keep touching like this, so I took off my backpack, and then took out a candle from my backpack, lit it with a click, and put it on the side.
Ayimu looked at me fixedly, but she shivered like a quail in the wind, one might be cold, the other might be scared, and I didn't know what she was thinking anyway.
She curled up in a corner, which was supposed to be a firewood room, with bundles of wood piled up, all tied in bundles.
I grabbed a bundle of firewood, then found an open space, put the wood on the rack, and then took the lighter, and struck it a few times, and made a show, because it was impossible for this lighter to light a large piece of firewood.
I turned my back to her, and then rubbed my fingers, and the red practice fire in my body came out, only on my fingers, and then the red practice fire burned the wood with a crackling sound, and after a while, the whole pile of firewood was ignited.
I sat down on the edge of the fire, then turned to look at Ayim huddled in the corner, and I said, "Come here and make a fire, or it will be cold." โ
She looked at me intently, hesitated for a moment, then stood up, walked over to the fire, and sat down discreetly across from me, stretching out her hand to bake the fire, her whole body trembling.
I looked at her intently, and she looked at me intently, her originally innocent face was slightly bloody at the moment, and I didn't know if it was because of the blush or the fire.
I smiled at her, but she was expressionless, obviously sad, she should be a year or two older than me, and her hooked nose was very good-looking, a little different from a Han woman.
My stomach suddenly rumbled, and then I remembered that I was going to find Northwest Ramen to eat, and I was arrested and locked up before I could eat it.
I picked up my backpack from the side and rummaged through it, and found two jars of cologne, but this thing was salty to death, and other than that, there were two buckets of instant noodles, a box of potato chips, and half a bottle of mineral water.
It's useless to have instant noodles, half a bottle of mineral water is not enough to soak, not to mention that there are no tools to boil water now, and the surrounding wooden walls are fully enclosed.
I can go out very easily, as long as I take the Junsheng sword and slash, it is easy to get out, but it is very cold outside, and there is this wooden house to block the wind, which is actually very good.
I tore open the instant noodles, took out the noodles inside, and then opened the can as well, spread the sauce on the noodles with a fork, and then took a bite, it was crunchy, and there was a sauce aroma, which was much better than eating the little raccoon crispy noodles when I was a child.
I handed Ayimu another box of noodles and sauce, she looked at me fixedly, hesitated, but took it, but handed me back the can and said, "I don't eat pork, thank you." โ
I just remembered that most Uyghurs and Hui people don't eat pork, and this canned food is mushroom pork sauce.
I saw her disassemble the instant noodles, then crush the instant noodles, then spill the packet into it, and then shake it, just like eating a baby raccoon when I was a child, which amused me.
She ate it, her mouth clicking, how could I feel that hers was better than mine?
After eating for a while, I felt that she was less restrained, and then I said, "Your name is Ayimu?"
"Yes. She whispered in response and nodded.
"Nice name. I didn't want to bring up her upset, so I changed the subject and I said, "Why don't you eat pork?"
"No, the ancestors said not to eat, then everyone will not eat. She looked at me and said, "We all eat lamb and beef, and our lamb skewers are delicious and famous, you should know that." โ
"Uh-huh. I nodded again and again, and I said, "Many people in Ludao are selling kebabs, and the signboard is from Xinjiang, but I have heard many people say that the mutton skewers they sell are not actually mutton." โ
"What's that?" she looked at me intently.
"Cat and mouse meat. โ
When she heard this, she wanted to vomit, and she didn't even eat instant noodles, so she probably had no appetite.
I smiled and said, "I don't eat it anyway." โ
I picked up half a bottle of mineral water, looked at it, and I said, "If you don't dislike it, just drink a little." โ
She nodded, and then I handed the bottle over, she opened the lid, and then looked up, the mouth of the bottle was about three centimeters from her mouth, and the water was poured directly into her mouth, without touching her lips, and after two sips, she returned the water to me, and said, "Thank you, if we can get out alive, I will treat you to an authentic kebab." โ
"Get out alive?" I looked at her in amazement, "What do you mean? What capital crime have you committed? Aren't those your own brothers and uncles? And your parents are not there?"
She bowed her head sadly, shed tears, and shook her head violently instead of speaking.
"Don't cry, what's wrong, you have to tell me!" I hurriedly persuaded her, girl, why is she going to be killed if you don't know it, what is the reason?
She choked up for a while, stopped crying and said, "I'm sorry for bothering you." โ
"Don't talk about that yet, tell me, what the hell is going on, you eloped with that man, right?" I asked her.
"Hmm. She nodded and said, "His name is Abu, my junior high school classmate, but he is Han, I am a Uyghur, and my parents want me to marry a Uyghur, and they don't let me associate with Abu." โ
"I wondered, isn't this all the unification of the whole country? Isn't it normal for 56 nationalities to intermarry? Why do you still engage in this kind of marriage?" I twitched slightly, and I said, "They don't have the right to ask for you, but now they are free to interact and marry." โ
She shook her head and said: "It's useless, our parents and clan elders here have the final say, let us marry whoever we marry, even if it's an old man, an old man who is dying, what they ask, we must do what they want." โ
"Isn't this nonsense? It's all in this era, and there are arranged marriages?" I can't understand, but think about coastal cities like Ludao, don't there are a lot of things that go to Vietnam and Laos to buy wives, and Yuelan doesn't say that she bought Vietnamese brides?
I don't feel right, but if people have this kind of custom here, then I can't care about it, and I don't have time to care about it, the young man named Abu wanted to elope with Ayimu but didn't succeed, so he can only rely on himself to find a way, I don't have this time, I want to go to Yuelan quickly.
"And when are they going to let you out?" I said, "I can't lock you up for the rest of my life, can I?"
"As expected, the entire clan is now in a meeting, and they must be discussing how to execute us. Ayimu looked at me in horror and said.
"Execution?" I looked at her dumbfounded, and said, "What are you kidding? What right do they have to do this? Executing people is murder, crime, and they have to pay for their lives! Not to mention that you eloped with your boyfriend and wanted to execute me, what kind of reason is this?"
"I'm sorry to bother you. She cried and bent over me to apologize.
But it's useless to apologize.
