24. Obedience
It is not difficult to insert the waist buckle into Wangmu's wooden rod, but the difficult thing is how to deduct the waist that Wangmu carries on his body. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Liu Ting is not so stupid that people will find out that the iron waist buckle that hurt someone is from herself, so she has to find a way to untie the waist buckle that Wang Mu carried with her. With her own waist buckle, she has more time to implement. At the very least, Liu Ting could first insert the waist buckle into Wangmu's wooden stick.
But Liu Ting knew that once the waist buckle was embedded in Wangmu's wooden couch, the waist buckle on Wangmu's body must be removed as soon as possible. Otherwise, with the current situation that she and Wumei have to fight almost every day, after the wooden couch in Wangmu's hand scratched Wumei, anyone can guess that it was Liu Ting's actions through the fact that Liu Ting did not have a waist buckle on her body. Unless there is no trace of the buckle on Wangmu's body, people will think that Wangmu deliberately hurt Um.
This plan comes from the customs of the Tiele people. Fists and kicks are common among the Tiele tribe, but Tiele forbids the use of sharp weapons against his own people in fights. Harming someone with a sharp object in front of the owner without permission is considered an offending to the authority of the family. Liu Ting hoped that when the waist buckle on the wooden stick scratched Wumei, it would ignite the anger of the pounce. If Wangmu is punished for this, Liu Ting can continue to find ways to keep herself away from Wangmu.
Will Tashi get angry? Liu Ting thought: If Wangmu injured Ume with a sharp weapon in front of Tashi, even if it was only a minor injury, Tashi, as the head of the family, should not let go of those who dared to challenge authority. So, the only risk is that I made Um's sharp weapon if it can't be discovered? Is it worth it? Even if everything went well, Wangmu was only transferred, and if it was found out, everything was done by me......
Liu Ting didn't dare to think about what kind of consequences she would face if she was discovered. She hesitantly took her hand off the buckle from her waist, and for a moment she lost her mind. Tashi didn't give her any more time to think.
In winter, it is unusually cold outside the fortress, and the Tiele people like to use spirits and fire to dispel the cold. On this night when the snow was suspended, the cocktail party was held as always. Liu Ting, who was a Han slave, was once again covered with a Han robe, and followed Tashi into a drinking party filled with shouting and drinking. As soon as he entered the fenced off grounds, Tashi let go of the other end of the rope that was tied to Liu Ting's body, allowing his Hannu to be looked at or touched by the Tiele men on the table.
Liu Ting lowered her head, unwilling to see anyone who treated her as an animal. It wasn't until she was pushed and found that a pair of embroidered shoes appeared in perspective that she secretly raised her eyes to look.
She saw a woman dressed in a Han robe like herself, with a face as dead ashes.
Although the other party's skin was a little chapped, and his cheeks were also lightly red patches due to the harsh climate outside the plug, the willow moon-shaped black eyebrows and red phoenix eyes were full of the unique oriental beauty of the Han people. And her delicate and petite figure trembling with the wind made Liu Ting sure that the other party was from the same land as her.
Liu Ting leaned her head over and asked in a low voice, "How long have you been here?" ”
The woman looked at Liu Ting with her eyes that did not have a trace of anger, and lowered her head again.
"Listen to them." She wrung the handkerchief in her hand and said. The exposed hands were swollen like turnips and had purple scabs. "If you don't want to die, obey."
Liu Ting said "oh" on her lips, but she began to question herself in her heart: Do you really want to obey? To live like a beast in this strange land, to please the enemy who has made him a slave with absolute obedience?
"I'm afraid of death, but I also want to live. But ......" was pushed and hit the woman, Liu Ting held her shoulder and said: "Such a day is not for people. Why don't we find a way to escape back together? ”
The woman shook her head and looked at Liu Ting with strange eyes: "Find a way to escape?" We're just women. I don't understand their words, this place is not Dawu - the scenery is the same everywhere. Even if you run faster than a horse, you can't find your way home. Even if we don't eat or drink, and can avoid the other Tiele people, we may not be able to return home. You and I have grown up in the courtyard since we were children, and we don't know the way when we leave the courtyard, so how can we go home from the territory of Tiele? The happiness of Dawu women is all bought by obedience, and obedience can make us feel better. ”
Liu Ting didn't agree with the woman's words at all. Although she can understand the other party's thoughts. For unmarried Dawu women who rarely step out of the hospital, and even Han women for thousands of years, obedience or obedience is obviously a virtue. For thousands of years, Han women have also respected the concept of "marrying from their husbands and following their fathers at home", but Liu Ting did not only live in ancient times.
If the woman's words just made Liu Ting want to ask the other party: "If obedience is useful here, why does Tiele Nu, who dares to challenge men, be praised by the head of the family?" Then what happened to the woman next made Liu Ting make up her mind not to obey. Before Liu Ting could speak, the woman next to her was pressed to the ground by a strong man with her hair twisted.
Judging from the men's clothing, Liu Ting is sure that the other party is not the head of the family, and it is impossible for the woman to belong. But when everyone saw the man start tearing the woman's clothes, they didn't come to stop her, but kept cheering. Even the heads of the houses sitting not far away raised their glasses and cheered and whistled. It seems that the woman's belongings do not mind having their subordinates enjoy their slaves.
This kind of terrible fact, Liu Ting has not thought about it. It's one thing to hypothetize, it's another thing to actually see. After the Han woman cried and screamed, Liu Ting almost subconsciously reached out to pull the man. Before his hand touched the other, he threw it away at the sturdy man.
"Pull the Tashi family's underage ewe away." The man who was already riding on the woman asked for help from the people around him who were still high-fived, and then curled the corners of his mouth and said to the woman below, "Call it." The louder the scream, the happier Lao Tzu became. ”
When she was forcibly pulled away, Liu Ting had already closed her eyes. But the eyes can be closed, but the ears can still hear. What happened next at the cocktail party, Liu Ting didn't see it. All she knew was that the cheers of Tiele were mixed with the cries and screams of the women from time to time, and the man who walked in with Tashi said in her direction, "Tashi, how long will it be before you are an underage ewe to give your brother food?" ”
Liu Ting struck a spirit, gritted her teeth and made a decision: the obedience of the Dawu woman here will only lead to a more tragic fate. That is, in Tieler, it is time to use Tieler's woman's method to solve the problem!
After returning from the party, Liu Ting tried hard to give Tashi a smile. She made a temptation in a voice that no one else could hear. She said to Tashi, "You are the richest and strongest of all the heads of the family, and I want nothing more than to serve you." ”
Tashi, who was scaling his teeth, glanced at Liu Ting in surprise and was noncommittal.
