CHAPTER XXXIV
That's how Wei Yuan stayed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Scorpion Ji was quite happy, she hadn't met such a fun person for a long time, so she always came to Wei Yuan to go to sunrise for a walk.
On this day, a group of people from the snowy mountains came down to ask Scorpion Ji for medicine, and Wei Yuan was also dragged along.
"Daxue Mountain is a long way from us, and it takes half a month for those people to come down from Daxue Mountain, and it takes more than half a month to get to us, so they have to go down the mountain in advance to find medicine every winter, this time it is a few days late, I don't know if something happened."
Scorpion Ji said to Wei Yuan as she walked, and it took about a quarter of an hour to see the tents where the people of Daxue Mountain lived, dozens of ordinary tents arranged neatly, which should have been set up by Tianque Zi to receive people from various tribes.
From this aspect, it can be faintly seen that the seriousness of Tianquezi's obsessive-compulsive disorder!
The journey in winter is already difficult to walk, so even if you see that place and walk for a long time for tea, the wind outside is not strong, but occasionally when it blows, some snowflakes will roll up and fall on your face, which is cold and cold.
The short hair on the outside of Wei Yuan's deerskin shoes has been wet, but the warmth effect of this deerskin is not bad, and Wei Yuan still does not feel that his feet are frozen.
"Sister Medicine Fairy is here! Sister Medicine Fairy is here! ”
A little girl in a ragged leather jacket immediately turned around and ran towards the tent when she saw the scorpion.
The people in the desert seem to believe in all kinds of gods, the morning sun is a god, the stones on the side of the road are gods, and the rain and snow falling from the sky are the gods among the gods.
As for the scorpion Ji, every year she cured many people's diseases with medicinal materials, so she was called the Medicine Fairy Lady by the people on the Snow Mountain, and the younger children called her the Medicine Fairy Sister.
An old man with a face as wrinkled as a hickory came out with a cane and smiled tremblingly at the scorpion Ji, this person was the elder of the Great Snow Mountain tribe.
"This year, the snow on the Snow Mountain is a little heavier, and when I went down the mountain, I met the Snow God Lady and got angry, and several of our warriors were pulled by the Snow God Lady to be a guard......
When the elder saw the scorpion her, he sighed and said, his face was full of lamentation, Wei Yuan didn't understand what this elder was saying, but guessed that they would come down from the Great Snow Mountain and die for a lifetime, and they would definitely encounter a lot of things.
"Who is this?"
Seeing Wei Yuan standing beside the Scorpion Ji, not like a maid, the elder asked politely.
"This is Miss Wei from Da Zhou, a wizard."
Scorpion Ji introduced Wei Yuan, and there was a kind of pride on her face that Wei Yuan couldn't say.
"Girl's great fortune."
The elder actually made an ancient salute to Wei Yuan, and said a little awkward Da Zhou official dialect, but the pronunciation was extremely accurate.
"When I was a child, I had the privilege of following our leader to the Great Zhou Dynasty to worship and was able to learn the language of the Great Zhou."
Without waiting for Wei Yuan to ask, the elder took the initiative to explain.
Wei Yuan calculated the time, it was about fifty or sixty years ago, and at that time, it should have been the elder brother of the first emperor who became the emperor.
"There are a lot more merchants in Da Zhou and the north this year, so there are also a lot more medicinal materials, I made some more pills, and you can take them all back when you leave."
Scorpion said as she walked inside.
The medicine that Scorpion Ji gave to the Great Snow Mountain was generally made into pills, and there were not many medicines made into pills at this time, only a specific few, but Scorpion Ji made several batches of medicines specifically for those conditions according to the conditions on the Great Snow Mountain in the past, so it was extremely convenient.
"The temperature of the water on the snowy mountain is low, and they don't know how to decoct the medicine, so it's a waste to get to the medicinal herbs, so it's better to make pills."
Scorpion Ji explained to herself that she followed the elder into the big tent, and Wei Yuan decided to go around the door, so he didn't go in.
"Sister, are you also an immortal?"
The little girl who had just shouted tiptoed over to Wei Yuan and asked softly.
The girl's clothes must have been worn for a long time, probably from the time of her parents, and her brothers and sisters wore them again, so the hair on her elbows had been worn bare.
The clothes don't fit well, so I think I should have to wear them for the children below in the future.
"I'm not." Wei Yuan shook his head, wiped the snow off a stone outside the big tent and sat down.
The little girl didn't care about Wei Yuan's answer, and sat down beside her: "Sister Medicine Fairy also said that she is not, but we know that she is an immortal, because of her medicine, only those warriors who are injured every year on our Daxue Mountain can survive." ”
"You're a friend of Sister Medicine Fairy, so you must be an Immortal too!"
The little girl swore an oath.
Wei Yuan looked at her face that was blown red by the wind, and smiled slightly, this girl can follow the elder down the Great Snow Mountain, there should be other arrangements, who will take a half-grown child to travel down from the Great Snow Mountain, and will only bring a few more sturdy men, to the few who are standing over there.
And this girl's Da Zhou is so fluent, with a bit of the taste of the elder, I think she has been taught carefully, but it's just ......
Wei Yuan glanced at the luck behind the girl, the dead air was quietly spreading, and she didn't look like she was sick, thinking that some emergencies should happen.
Wei Yuan hesitated to tell the girl about this, and inadvertently looked up and happened to see several men whispering next to the big tent, and just one of them also looked at Wei Yuan, smiling and revealing a mouthful of big white teeth.
Wei Yuan smiled back politely, and the smile over there suddenly became even worse.
"My brother Meng Yu is the most powerful warrior in the entire Great Snow Mountain!"
The girl also saw the man smiling at Wei Yuan, and immediately praised: "He can kill a tiger with his bare hands!" ”
When the girl said this, her eyes were shining, full of worship of the big hero.
"Sister, will you marry us in the Great Snow Mountain?"
The girl asked suddenly, Wei Yuan didn't take a breath, and was almost choked.
Why did she suddenly ask this question, does she seem to be looking for her other half today? Wei Yuan thought in a daze.
"Why do you ask?"
Wei Yuan suppressed his anger and asked funny.
"I heard it just now, Brother Meng Yu said that he wants to use that tiger skin to marry you, and if you want, he can go and fight another tiger to make you a jacket."
The girl's words made Wei Yuan not know what to say, okay, it was love at first sight in Daxue Mountain?
"Brother Meng Yu said that you looked so beautiful when you walked just now, if you can go to our Great Snow Mountain, it is definitely the most beautiful, and the snow god will bless you!"
The little girl looked at Wei Yuan's stunned appearance, thinking that Wei Yuan was frightened by the rich "bride price", and continued with a smile.
The family with a tiger skin can definitely be regarded as very wealthy in the Great Snow Mountain, and even the elder family only has a tiger skin that has lost a lot of hair!
"If you and Brother Meng Yu stand together, you will be able to have your first child next autumn, and children born in autumn don't have to worry about not having anything to eat, the autumn food on the Daxue Mountain is the most!"
Hearing this, Wei Yuan also understood a little.
I have seen in the gazetteers that people in difficult places always choose to marry in the winter and give birth to children in the autumn of the following year, so that they do not have to worry about the children starving to death without enough rations.
It's not love at first sight, it's a rule of survival in a difficult environment.
"Really, really, Brother Meng Yu is already old enough to marry Daliel."
Darel is what it means to be a bride.
The girl saw Wei Yuan hanging her head slightly, not knowing what she was thinking. Immediately, she was a little anxious, as if she would be unwilling to sell that Mengyu brother.
As he was talking, the man named Meng Yu came over, singing in a strange tone, Wei Yuan didn't understand the meaning, but he could hear that the song was good.
After listening to such a song in a daze, the man handed over a Galasu, that is, a necklace made of sheep bones.
Not long ago, Wei Yuan knew that this is an extremely heavy gift, Galasu represents sufficient food in the desert, and if a person is willing to give Galasu to you, it means that he is willing to give you his own food to eat.
In the desert, food is inseparable from life, so in many cases, giving Galasu also symbolizes the willingness to give one's life to the other party.
"This gift is too expensive for me to accept."
Wei Yuan waved his hand, thinking of the girl who was willing to give her Galasu, Wei Yuan's heart was a little warm, and he didn't know if the food left behind had made their winter go more smoothly.
Meng Yu couldn't understand Da Zhou's words, he only felt that these words were very gentle, but when he saw Wei Yuan's hand, he still stubbornly wanted to stuff Galasu into Wei Yuan's hands.
"Can you help me talk to him? This thing is too precious for me to take. ”
Wei Yuan had no choice but to ask for help from the girl next to her, the girl smiled and squinted, and said a lot of words at Meng Yu, Meng Yu really took the Galasu back, but said a lot of words to Wei Yuan with a serious expression, and then turned around and left.
Wei Yuan faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart, but he didn't know what was wrong.
After staying for a while and getting a little cold, Wei Yuan went into the tent to find the scorpion Ji.
Scorpion Ji was talking to the Elder, and judging by the smile on the Elder's face, the two seemed to be chatting well.
"Can this magic medicine really give us more? That's great! Some of our warriors will survive when they are injured! ”
The elder was cheering, but it made people feel sad to listen to it, Wei Yuan glanced at the powdered medicinal herbs on the table, leaned over and smelled it, it seemed to be Sanqi.
Yunnan Sanqi is very famous, but Da Zhou seems to have no intention of going south, so Yun Sanqi has not been discovered.
"This is the miracle medicine I found on the Jizhou Mountain, it has a particularly good effect on hemostasis, and the people on the Daxue Mountain are often scratched by wild beasts when hunting, and the chances of surviving with this are also greater."
Scorpion Ji didn't know that Wei Yuan knew this medicinal material, so she deliberately explained.
"Medicine Fairy Lady Mercy!"
The elder clasped his hands together, and he didn't know what kind of salute he made, and he exclaimed in a low voice, from the expression on the scorpion Ji's face, Wei Yuan knew that she didn't agree with the elder's words, but she didn't bother to explain.
Wei Yuan sat for a while, and before leaving, he vaguely mentioned a few words about the girl's situation, so as not to have unpredictable changes in luck due to the influence, but I don't know if she said it vaguely, and the elder understood.
"Why do you say so many people say I'm compassionate and kind?"
Out of the big tent, Scorpion Ji asked very strangely, if it was someone else, Wei Yuan thought that it might have other meanings, but Scorpion Ji was different, she was the kind of person who would say whatever she wanted.
"I didn't want to do the work of delivering medicinal herbs myself, I did it because the adults told me to do it, but I never heard them say that the adults were merciful......
It's not that I'm upset about Tianquezi, but I really don't understand why the people on the snowy mountain are so grateful to her for being such a person who listens to people's orders and does things.
"Because you put your heart into it," Wei Yuan explained, "even if you didn't do it yourself, you did it with all your heart, and you didn't deliberately get some useless medicine to perfunctory them......"
"Why give them useless medicine?"
Scorpion is always a big two about these things, which is probably why she is often alone, and almost no one can fully understand her thoughts.
"If it were someone else, would they take the initiative to go to the mountains of Jizhou to find medicine like you, and then find a way to make pill powder and give it to them to make it easier for them to walk?"
Wei Yuan's original intention was to let Scorpion Ji figure out this reason, but he didn't expect Scorpion Ji to throw out a sentence: "Why not?" ”
This made Wei Yuan finally know why Scorpion Ji was so incomprehensible to this kind of thing, because she felt that doing anything was simple.
Simply accept the commands of adults; If you accept the order, you will naturally do it well, and the time consumption is about the same anyway...... It must be exactly the same if everyone else is replaced......
With this mentality, the image of the scorpion in the hearts of the people around her is particularly tall, because she will not calculate the gains and losses.
Wei Yuan didn't know what to say to explain to the Scorpion Ji, and she didn't want to change the Scorpion Ji who was standing, so she didn't care about intrigue, didn't care about fame and fortune, and lived a much easier life.
Didn't someone say it? Not thinking of one's own compassion as a form of compassion in itself.
The days in the desert are extremely short in winter, and it didn't take long for Wei Yuan to find that the sky was dark, and he stepped on the thick snow with the scorpion Ji, with the dim moonlight, and the reflection fell on the white snow, which was a bit terrifying.
When he returned to the house, Yichenzi was fiddling with the calculation chip again, and he didn't know what was going on in the past few days, so he held a calculation chip every day......
"Did you encounter anything interesting today?"
Xiao Jinyu has carved fewer and fewer wooden cards these days, but the patterns on it are becoming more and more cumbersome, and one wooden sign is even carved with three layers of patterns, one layer covered by one layer, and it is particularly layered.
"I met the elder of the Great Snow Mountain, and there was a girl ......"
Wei Yuan told the girl, and naturally mentioned Mengyu during the period, and talked about the survival rules similar to spring sowing and autumn harvest in the Western Regions.
Wei Yuan, who said this as an interesting story, didn't see it, although Xiao Jinyu's smile was still the same, but the fingers holding the carving knife were slightly white.
