Chapter 5: Openness of the People's Customs
The barracks were exceptionally quiet during the day.
Except for the occasional patrol stationed in the camp passing by, Mu Yubai stayed in the tent and never heard any other sounds.
This time, instead of being blindfolded by her hands and feet, she folded her hands and knees, curled up on the haystack she had walked on.
Da Shengjun did what she did.
Last night, I picked two or three hundred mares that were recently in estrus or about to be in estrus overnight, and took advantage of the night to settle them in Anxian County.
The archers were all hidden on the top of the hills.
The infantry hid at the foot of the mountain.
Bai Lishan said that a few days ago, Rong Di attacked at Maoshi, and Mu Yubai could not calculate the ancient hours, but knew that an hour was equal to 2 hours, so she suggested that the Dasheng army go to the ambush an hour in advance.
If Rong Di wants to win with one blow, he must kill the Dasheng army by surprise.
Bai Lishan followed her advice. At three o'clock in the morning, after returning with a small detachment that had tempted the enemy, he immediately went out of the city with mares, archers, and infantry to ambush him.
After he left, Mu Yubai was sent back to this tent again.
After she returned, she kept this posture, staring at the watch on her wrist with her eyes for a moment, watching the time pass in the rotation of the minute and hour hands, and she didn't even notice that her body was numb.
At three o'clock in the morning,
Five o'clock in the morning,
Seven o'clock in the morning,
Nine o'clock in the morning,
At eleven o'clock in the afternoon,
One o'clock in the afternoon
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
Ten hours, ten full hours passed, and the camp was still quiet.
The main force of the Dasheng army was stationed in the middle of Anxian and Wucheng, far away from the main battlefield. Even knowing that there was a fierce fighting a few kilometers away, there was peace in the barracks.
But Mu Yubai really preferred to stay in the battlefield mountain, listen to the neighing of war horses, watch the collision of knives and guns, and witness his future with his own eyes. Unlike now, you can only passively wait and let someone decide your life and death.
She is only twenty-one years old, she has just obtained the qualification of insurance research, and she still has a lot of beautiful life to unfold.
There is also love, she originally planned to confess to her male god at the party. For this confession, she and her girlfriends have been planning for a long time.
Carefully arranged a chance encounter close to the male god, and used the relationship with the elder brother without authorization in order to find out the male god's preferences, creating all kinds of events for her to experience and leave memories with the male god.
She used all the tricks of the heel to make it, and it was the male god's more and more gentle gaze when he looked at her.
But why! Why did she step into the sewer without a manhole cover at the critical moment, and what she encountered after falling was not a dark and dirty sewer, but a more cruel new world.
Why?
Thinking about it, Mu Yubai's nose was sour, tears slipped quietly, and the flow became more and more urgent: "Dad...... Mother...... Elder brother...... Cheng Yu Oba ......" Mu Yubai cried and shouted the name of his beloved: "I'm going to die, I'll never see you again, I don't want to die...... Which of you will save me...... Dad, come and save me......"
Mu Yubai's cry became louder and louder, and the penetration was not too thick, and there were some broken tents, floating into the ears of the guards who were guarding her outside.
The curtain was lifted up a crack, and a slightly restrained voice came in, comforting Mu Yubai: "Miss Mu, don't be afraid." ”
"Before I changed the guard, I heard from the herald that everything was going well at the front."
"Really?" Hearing this, Mu Yubai stopped crying and asked, sobbing, "Rong Di attacked in advance?" They're going to be right away? Did they really attack Anxian? ”
"I don't know these details." The garrison smiled embarrassedly: "I'm just a pawn, and I can only inquire about it, but everyone who comes out of the main tent has a smile on his face, and the war must be going well." ”
"What did you see with your own eyes?" The other party's voice was not loud, Mu Yubai was afraid that he had heard it wrong, and struggled to get up from the ground, wanting to go to the door and listen to it.
When she moved, the sour numbness dared to strike instantly. The uncontrolled limbs pulled Mu Yubai back onto the haystack, and it took her a long time to completely regain control of her body, and then she hurriedly trotted to the curtain and asked the man to repeat what he had just said.
"So Miss Mu, don't be afraid, today, the army will definitely return victorious."
"Thank you...... Thank you so much......" Mu Yubai couldn't help but continue to cry again, great, she won't die, great!
"No, it's okay......" I didn't expect Mu Yubai to thank him, the man was stunned for a moment before answering.
"What's your name, big brother? If I have a chance to leave this hellish place, I must thank you well. Mu Yubai knew that he couldn't lift the tent curtain at will, so he had to chat with the guards through the curtain.
"My name is Qi Yuan. You don't have to thank me, just say it casually, it's nothing. The male voice had a sense of simplicity, which made Mu Yubai listen to it cordially and think of his father's guards.
It was a man from Shandong, very simple, and he blushed every time he talked to her
"No, no, no...... I was desperate just now, if you hadn't told me, I might have ...... "probably ended my life early and used the folding knife in my bag."
She hadn't forgotten what Duan Ang said to her yesterday, she wouldn't give a man a chance to send her to be a comfort woman.
Mu Yubai didn't say these words, she didn't know how to say them.
"Because listening to you reminds me of my sister." The guard smiled, "I heard the conversation between you and Duan Shaoqing last night, and I was exactly the same as that sister when I was stubborn." ”
Stubborn? Hearing the other party say this, Mu Yubai's old face turned red, it was obviously a vulgar swear word, but he described it as quite individual.
"You have a sister." In order to hide his embarrassment, Mu Yubai hurriedly diverted the topic.
"Well, a sister, a brother. My sister is older, and she will be able to make a promise after the New Year. Speaking of this, the male voice was full of pampering and happiness: "I have saved a monthly salary for a long time, and I hope that my sister can marry beautifully when she gets married." ”
"And Huh? That's not fifteen years old, underage. Mu Yubai knew that the ancients got married early, but when she heard it with her own ears, it still had a bit of an impact on her heart, at the age of twenty-one, she put it in ancient times, did she become an old aunt?
"Jilu is an adult." The male voice was a little puzzled.
"Oops...... I mean physiology. Mu Yubai didn't know how to explain, "Fifteen-year-old children are still in the development period, getting married and having children at this time is very bad for the body, late marriage and late childbearing are healthy, you can't make it." ”
"What is late marriage and late childbearing? What does it mean that you can't make it? The doubts in the man's voice were even worse.
"Late marriage and late childbearing are ...... Alas, you don't understand, there is a cultural generation gap between us, anyway, you know that it's not good for girls. ”
"Miss Mu always speaks amazingly." The male voice smiled lightly: "Actually, I also want to keep my little sister at home for two more years, first tell my mother-in-law's family, it's okay to remarry when I have to be seventeen, that is, the younger brother is also a little older, and he can take care of his father." ”
"Forget it...... Not to mention your sister, how old is your brother? ”
"After the New Year, I will be ten years old." Speaking of this younger brother, the doting dare in the male voice was weaker, and Mu Yubai guessed that this person was most likely a sister control.
"What about you, how old are you?"
"Me? Nineteen. ”
"Wow...... You are younger than me, alas, I am twenty-one ...... this year" Mu Yubai was a little embarrassed, listening to the voice, she felt that the other party was at least twenty-five or six, but she didn't expect it to be nineteen.
"Twenty-one?" The male voice was also a little surprised, "Then you can't call Miss Mu, you have to call it sister-in-law." ”
"No, I'm not married......"
"Twenty-one years old is not allowed to marry someone?" Qi Yuan was even more surprised.
"Well......" Mu Yubai pouted: "Because our era was very bad, we didn't arrange marriages, and if we wanted to get married, we had to find a partner by ourselves." ”
Otherwise...... She had already asked her father to give the male god home, and she still spent so much thought?
"Huh?" Qi Yuan is not a special arranged marriage and what it means to find a partner, but he can probably understand the meaning of Mu Yu's vernacular. Not only can the girl's family dress so cool, but also let the unmarried men and women talk about marriage by themselves, Miss Mu's hometown is really ...... The folk customs are open and tight.
