Chapter 26: In the Cellar
Chapter XXVI in the cellar
On the fourth day, he finally noticed that there were a few small green mosses growing on the wall. He got it and tasted it, and he could still eat it, and after a few bites, he thought, I'm afraid that such days will be long!
He divided these into equal portions, ate a little a day, and held on like this for five days, and on the fifth day there was nothing to eat, and he felt that his health was getting worse and worse. If you don't eat, you'll die. A manly man is about to die a vigorous death, what a pity to die unconsciously like this!
He touched the felt beneath him, and they threw down that day as he came down. The felt is made of wool cow hair. Eating human hair can cure diseases, and the hair of cattle and sheep may be able to satisfy hunger!
I can't die like this, Su Wu struggled and pulled a small piece of felt into his mouth and chewed it...... It hadn't snowed in a few days, and the water in the broken jar had bottomed out, and he just dipped his finger and wiped it to his mouth.
Suddenly, he saw someone looking down from above, and there was a burst of laughter, and then a large snowball fell and shattered, and he excitedly picked up the broken snow in both hands and put it in the jar...... He found two fist-sized packets, and opened them to see that they were two pieces of frozen meat, which he hastily hid under the felt.
This was secretly sent in by Mei Ga to Yu Weilan. Mei Ga knew that a man would die if he didn't eat for five days, and she wanted to help this good man survive. After she had cooked the lamb, she consulted with Yu Veland about how she could give it to the people in the cellar.
In the first five or six days when Su Wu was thrown into the cellar, Wei Lu sent people to guard the entrance of the cellar day and night, and the guards were looser in the past two days. Yu Weilan looked at the snow blankets all over the ground and came up with a solution.
She thought of taking her seven or eight-year-old grandsons out to play snowballing, and the children were so happy. She secretly hid two pieces of meat in the snowball, and chased the two of them to push the snowball bigger and bigger towards the cellar.
Yu Weilan said to his two little nephews, "Push the snowball into the cellar and smash the people inside!"
The soldier didn't dare to stop the two little princes, so the snowball went down.
"Auntie, let's get snowballs again!" the two boys had a lot of sex. Yu Weilan laughed and pulled them to play.
Yes, it was Langar! The laughter just now was his! Su Wu was even more confident. He took a big bite of the frozen meat, although it was so frozen that his teeth could not move, but a warm current surged into his heart. I want to live, and I want to show the dog thief!
Later, Yu Weilan used this bell to deliver food twice. It's the eleventh day, and King Yu Jing saw Shan Yu and said, "Da Shan Yu, a man who hasn't eaten or drunk for five days will starve to death." It's already the eleventh day of the envoy Su, and even if he dies, he has to be brought up and given an explanation to the big man!"
"You said that people are dead, how do you explain it?"
"Let him bring all the people back to the Han Dynasty, and say that the Han envoy Su Wu died of a violent illness!"
"Will this work?"
"Then they have to let the corpses be seen!" said King Yu earnestly.
When Wei Lu asked Su Wu to hang him up, he was surprised, not only did he not die, but he could still speak intermittently, and he could still stand with the help of people, but his face was pale, his body was much thinner, and he was weak, and he didn't dare to see the light. Wei Lu couldn't help but say to himself: "Could it be that he is a god!"
Who knows, the news that the envoy Su is a man of God has spread, and everyone in Hala and Lin City is spreading, and people all over the city are vying to come to the post house to see the demeanor of God. This made Hou Da Dan Yu and Wei Lu very annoyed.
And Hou Da Dan thought that this person had not eaten or drunk for more than ten days, and he did not die, so he must be what everyone calls a god. We must not let this man of God return to the Han Dynasty and add wings to the Han Dynasty. He didn't surrender, and he couldn't torture and kill, so he simply left him to fend for himself.
Ten days later, when Su Wu's body recovered and he was able to walk, and Marquis Shan Yu discussed a very vicious method with the military advisor Wei Lu: in the winter, the attachés who came with Su Wu were isolated one by one and exiled to the remote areas divided by the princes to supervise and do hard labor, so that they would not have any contact.
They punished Su Wu by giving him twenty rams and exiled him to the Belhai (present-day Lake Liaberga in northwestern Russia) to graze his herds. Wei Lu said to him viciously: "When will these rams give birth, you Su Wu will be able to come back!"
So far, I can not die, and I can still save everyone's life, and this ending is not bad. At least everyone has a hope in their hearts that one day they will be able to return to the Great Khan in the bright light.
Su Wu had already arranged for them to meet the meeting, so there was no need to think about anything, holding a scepter, driving the sheep, and going on the road under the escort of the messenger.
The capital city of Hara and Lin is thousands of miles away from its destination. The heavy snowfall half a month ago had mostly melted, and the grass had withered in the frozen snow. Although the white sun hung in the sky, it was not angry at all.
The remarkable majesty of the cold wind, the sword-like slam of the earth. The birch leaves beside the road had been swept away by the wind, and the branches whipped each other in the cold wind, and they cried and clattered and clattered.
On the frozen road, there was no end in sight, and the two officers rode horses with bags behind them, escorted Su Wu, who was walking with a scepter in hand, and more than twenty rams were trudging north.
The cold wind hissed. The official who escorted Su Wu, although he rode a horse, could not walk fast, and he could not freeze on the horse, so he had to dismount and walk with Su Wu and the sheep.
Su Wu didn't know the temperament of the two people, tightened the straps of the cotton robe, pulled down the brim of the felt hat on his head to cover his face, and lowered his head with a scepter and silently walked forward in the wind, calculating in his heart, I am afraid that it has been ten miles away......
The sheep bleated in the cold wind. One sheep starts, and twenty come and go, and it makes people feel uncomfortable to hear. One of the errand officers angrily said: "Fuck, I got such an errand and froze people to death before they reached Bell Sea!"
Another asked Su Wu: "Envoy Su, are you cold?"
"You say, the sheep's skin is thick and there is a thick layer of wool, and they are all crying in the cold, do you say that people are cold?" replied Su Wu.
"You should learn the law of the guard, and you won't suffer this sin!"
"So, do you think he has the backbone?"
He looked at his companion and was silent.
Suddenly, the horses' hooves clattered after them, shouting, "Please wait!
They all stood and waited. A man in a woolen cotton robe came and dismounted, took out his wallet from his bosom and handed it to the errand officer, saying: "Two errand officers, please accept it! This is the eldest brother who saved my family's life, please take care of you all along the way!"
Su Wu took a closer look, it was a woman dressed as a man, so he had to say: "This guest officer, I don't know you, please don't do this!"
Mei Ga ignored him, took a package from the horse and handed it to the officer: "This is my eldest brother's clothes!"
After Mei Ga saw that the errand officials had taken it, she saluted and said, "I have worked hard, and if we meet in the future, I will be doubly grateful!"
She came to deliver the clothes after discussing with her brother, and the money was her savings for many years. Knowing that the cold winter in Beihai was long, he sent his sister a wolfskin cotton robe.
The elder brother saw his sister's thoughts and liked Master Su, and he knew that his sister wanted to marry a Han and return to his mother's hometown one day to live. But you can't say it, let alone persuade it, so let my sister do what she wants to do!
