Chapter 741: All the way north

Bidding farewell to the prince, Fujin, Mrs. Yun'er and her righteous sister Wenjuan, Sister Shui'er, and Nalan's brother-in-law, Qing'er rode on the high-headed horse sent by the prince and went straight to the direction of Heilongjiang. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info This time he traveled lightly alone, without any burden, the horse was good, and the silver he brought was enough, all the way to the night, wind and snow were unhindered, and he raised his whip to the north, and soon arrived at the northernmost part of Heilongjiang, near the Ussuri River. Although I have been to Heilongjiang, I am not familiar with it everywhere. I patronized the road, missed the lodging, and I didn't see anyone from afar. The endless snowfields glow with a dim white light under the reflection of the first quarter moon. It's also very tiring to ride a horse for a long time. Qing'er dismounted next to a pine forest, tied the horse to a tree, rowed some hay for it to eat, untied her dry food bag, sat on the frozen soil and began to nibble on frozen steamed buns. Although most of the time I entered the inn, there were also times when I missed the accommodation, Qing'er was prepared, and the dry food was constant. It's just that there's no water, and that's okay, grabbing snow is water. As he was eating, he felt a voice behind him, and when he looked back, he was startled: a fire broke out in a village not far away, and the fire burned half the sky.

Qing'er was quite puzzled: "It's not windy today?" In the middle of the night, there was no one to cook, why did you lead the pyre? It's not like, why is there crying and shouting in the village? Hey? Why are there still people snatching things and beating people? "It's true that the village is in chaos. It looks like he's been robbed by bandits! Qing'er knew the suffering of the bandits, so she packed up the steamed buns and prepared to go into the village to have a look. As soon as I went to untie the reins of the horse, I heard the man's wild laughter, not the movement of people, and the speech was not Chinese. Qing'er saw two tall men carrying something towards her. The voice became clearer and clearer, and Qing'er was sure that they were carrying a woman! At the same time, Qing'er also saw that the men who laughed wildly were all soldiers of the Rakshasa Kingdom with big noses! A surge of anger burned in Qing'er's chest! It's too much of a deception! He is also a man, how can he make these beasts inferior to his own siblings! He made a gesture to the horse to lie down, and the horse obediently lay down, and Qing'er hid on this side of the mound. The woman's scream turned into a cry of despair, even if she was young, she couldn't compete with two tall Rakshasa devils? But she still kept twisting her body to make it not so smooth for the Rakshasa to lift up. She's dragging her time!

The two Rakshasa soldiers didn't seem to be able to lift her anymore, so they put the woman down and sat down on the other side of the mound, trying to slow down and carry her to a quieter place. No one noticed that there were people behind the mound.

When Qing'er left the palace, Tian Liang handed him a dagger: "Brother, take it, just in case!" "I really use it now!

The Rakshasa devil doesn't take women's resistance and crying seriously at all. Instead, he looked in the direction of the firelight and laughed wildly. At this time, the woman rolled over, got up and ran. A few devils knew that they had underestimated the enemy, and they immediately chased after them. Qing'er had practiced many young skills, and his movements were very light and silent, and he approached the closest one among the Rakshasa devils, and then the sharp dagger stabbed into the kidneys in his lower back, and stirred a few times inside, and the devil fell down without making a sound. Qing'er approached the devil in front of her in the same way, but unfortunately was discovered by this guy, and he screamed and rushed back to Qing'er. Qing'er's body was very flexible, and she lured this guy into the woods, with the aim of allowing the woman to escape. The devil chased after him, screaming, and pounced on Qing'er. When he passed by the crouching horse, he did not notice that it was a horse, for it was white, and it was like snow, and he hurried to chase people, and stepped on the horse's hooves, and the horse did not politely stretch out his foot and kicked the fellow out of the way, and then stood up with a long scream. The Rakshasa devil who was kicked to the ground got up like a dead man and was about to escape, but Qing'er grabbed his hat and pulled it back violently, and then fell with his face to the sky. Qing'er was thinking about giving him a few knives, and the woman rushed up. The wooden stick in his hand hit the head of the Rakshasa devil at once, and this stick hit it really hard, and his brain burst out and he didn't move. Who knew that the one who had been stabbed earlier stood up tremblingly! Like a wounded bear, he gasped and pounced on Qing'er. It was also dark, and Qing'er might have obstacles such as tree roots under her feet, so she tripped and fell on her back without paying attention! The Rakshasa pounced. Qing'er rolled on the spot and dodged, otherwise this guy's body was as heavy as a bear, and it would be too dangerous to press on his body. He didn't pounce on Qing'er, so he was naturally unwilling and continued to pounce, just when he pounced again, the wooden stick in the woman's hand hit the back of the Rakshasa devil's head hard and accurately, and only heard the sound of "plop", and this guy didn't move. The woman stretched out her hand and pulled Qing'er up. Qing'er arched her hand and said, "Thank you, auntie!" "I didn't look at this woman, I felt like she was in her thirties, dressed plainly and wearing a headscarf.

Qing'er pulled the horse over, and just as she was about to get on the horse, the woman said, "You don't care about me?" ”

"This ......" Qing'er felt that she was no longer in danger, and the next step was to go home. What else does it matter?

"Look, the village has burned down, and the Rakshasa devils are transporting food, so I don't feel comfortable going back to find it?"

"So, what are you going to do?"

"What else can I do with you? Your horse can carry the two of us, right? ”

This woman is very generous and cheerful, and her voice is very good, not at all like a person in her thirties or forties. In the dark, she looked at Qing'er expectantly, Qing'er has been a kind person since she was a child, and she would definitely not leave behind a person who was waiting for help in danger. He said, "Then you will get on the horse, shall you?" Auntie, you are old, just sit behind me, you can hold my waist. The woman smiled and nodded in agreement. Qing'er got on the horse first, and went back to pick up the woman, why is it gone? Hey! People have come up, and they are fast enough.

At this time, the sky was already numb, and a few Rakshasa devils saw Qing'er and the others, raised the spears in their hands, and bullets flew past their ears. The woman hurriedly said, "Hurry up!" They have guns! ”

As soon as Qing'er clamped the horse's belly between her legs, the horse raised its hooves and galloped. If it weren't for the sun erupting, Qing'er would have known that the left side of her body was the east, and she wouldn't have known that she was going south. The horse ran for nearly an hour before he stopped at a high post, snorted leisurely, and let out a long howl in the sky, saying, "I'm so tired, let's rest for a while." ”

Qing'er was about to dismount, and half-turned to the woman behind her: "Auntie, get off the horse and rest for a while, it's a long way away, and the Rakshasa devil can't catch up." ”

"Am I old?" A young, ruddy, and beautiful face poked out from behind, startling Qing'er: Why did the aunt become a girl? Just now, just now, I kept holding my waist. Qing'er's face was hot, and she hurriedly dismounted. The person behind her was indeed a girl, and I saw that she was wearing a black cloak, a flower cotton jacket, green cotton pants, leggings, and a pair of Ula shoes on her feet. Very capable, very free and easy. He was in his twenties. The flower headscarf tied on her head seems to indicate that she is not a Han woman, but Qing'er has lived in Heilongjiang for two years, and she can be regarded as having some knowledge, knowing that this girl is not Daur but also Oroqen.

Seeing Qing'er looking herself up and down, the girl was not shy at all, but raised her head generously and teased Qing'er: "Auntie is still relatively young, right?" ”

"You!" Qing'er couldn't cry or laugh, and muttered, "Take advantage!" ”

"Hey! You called it yourself, did I say I was an aunt? Haha......" she laughed happily.

Qing'er thought to herself: "This girl has no heart and lungs, her home has been burned down, and she is almost ...... Can she still laugh? ”

He asked, "Where are you going?" Are there any relatives? Find a place to stay. ”

"I'll go with you."

"What? You, and me? Walk? "Qing'er thought she had heard it wrong, a girl she didn't know before, and a big man left? Elephant talk? Hurriedly said: "Don't price, what's the matter with you going with me?" Go to your family, and I can send you there. ”

"I don't! I'm going to go with you! Be your daughter-in-law! ”

"OMG! Is this what a pretty girl said? It's, that's too, that's too much. ”

Qing'er pretended not to hear, but still patiently persuaded: "Girl, we met, we haven't seen each other before." Marriage matters are up to your parents, you are a woman, and you have to ......"

"Three from four virtues, smile without teeth, do not move the skirt ......"

"What is this? That is to say, the way of Confucius and Mencius must be observed. ”

"That's your Han business, I'm Oroqen, I don't know so much. You saved my life last night, and I want to repay you. Whether you have a woman or a child in your family, I don't care, I will take care of your diet and daily life, and take care of you. ”

"Don't, don't do this, I'm still serving others. You hurry up and find a place to stay, if you delay any longer, it will be dark, and it will be inconvenient for us. ”

When the girl heard this, she cried! I cried so sadly, and while crying, I muttered: "Is my Ximei so annoying?" ”

"Your name is Ximei? I said, Miss Ximei, you are not annoying. You're a very good person, but you don't know what kind of person I am, how can you say something like that? That's not just a casual thing, what if I'm the bad guy? You are a girl's family, so it's easy to be exploited by bad guys. You'd better hurry up and find a place to stay. I still have something to do. ”

"I'll go with you, and you'll accompany me when I get back. There are more wolves here, and you can bear to let me walk alone in the land and be eaten by wolves? ”

"Huh? Wolves? Are there wolves here? "Qing'er's scalp tightened all of a sudden: there is no protection from Bing'er here!" Get on board! It doesn't matter who accompanies him, hurry up and find a place to eat, and then find your relatives, my aunt and grandmother, how could I get into such a thing! I really can't bear to let you call the wolf to eat. How do you say? ”

"Go west, west is my home."

"What do you say? To the west is your home? So what happened to the village last night? ”

"I see you have a good heart, tell you. My brother is the leader of the Oroqen in this area, and he is ready to join forces with the leaders of other ethnic groups to resist the bullying of our border people by the Rakshasa Kingdom. My brother and sister went to each village to find people, and we all joined forces to have a general assembly. There is the Mongolian Bandi County King as the general chief, and his princess is the elder sister of the Shunzhi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Princess Gulun. This union is justified, and if they are willing to pick this head, we will take care of the contact. Of course, the more people, the better. Yesterday I went to the burned village alone, and as soon as I arrived, I met a Rakshasa devil, and that happened. Big brother, it's not that Ximei is not self-respecting, we people in Oroqen say that kindness will be repaid. You've not only saved me! If I survive, I can contact more people, and when the time comes, contact the imperial court, and ask them to give us a few red-clothed cannons and stand up on the border line. ”

Qing'er looked at Miss Ximei blankly, and her heart rose with respect, she turned out to be a woman who did great things, and she still looked down on her...... He thought: "It is important to find the young master, but seeing that the border people of the Qing Dynasty are being ravaged by the Rakshasa devils, can they be indifferent?" So he said to Ximei: "It's really dangerous for a girl's family to act alone, I'll let go of the matter of finding someone first, and accompany you to contact someone, right?" ”

"Really?" Ximei took Qing'er's hand in surprise, laughing and jumping like a child, making Qing'er embarrassed. He has never been so close to a girl, looking at Ximei's unrestrained appearance, he remembered his sister Su Wenjuan and his sister Rong'er (it should be Shui'er), maybe the nationality is different, the rules and ideas are also different, right? He already likes Ximei a little, her straightforwardness and sincerity make Qing'er feel very cunning.

They talked a lot along the way. It was almost noon, and Ximei said generously, "I'm hungry, can you please me eat noodles?" Brother Zhang Qing? ”

Qing'er said, "Okay." Do you drink? ”

"No, no!" Hime's head shook like a rattle.

The two of them sat in a small restaurant and asked for two large bowls of lo mein. Qing'er said, "What kind of dish do you want again?" ”

"Don't come to the food. I'm almost done eating. ”

"Okay, you're the same as the robbery?"

"I'm so hungry! I ate a tortilla the morning before yesterday and hadn't eaten all day in between. ”

"Huh? Poor to say, another bowl, right? ”

"No, no. Just give me a little bit of what is in your bowl. ”

Qing'er gave half of what was in her bowl to Ximei, and Ximei ate it too. Qing'er smiled and said, "You're okay, you ate a bowl and a half, don't you panic?" The girl's family is so delicious, who dares to ask you to be a daughter-in-law? ”

"Didn't you already promise me? Don't worry, our young man from Oroqen will invite her to eat noodles if he takes a fancy to her, half a bowl per person, so that the girl's hands and feet are tied, which is equivalent to your Han marriage. We've made up our minds to kiss, and we don't regret it. You have already said that there is no daughter-in-law in the family, and there is no marriage. "In fact, where does Oroqen have this rule, it was made up by Ximei herself.

"Hey! Miss Ximei, you are no, no! We Han people talk about the life of our parents and the words of matchmaking, Qing'er has no parents and two sisters. ”

"Your sister will not take a fancy to me? You matchmaker can't be trusted! I'll tell you a story, so don't interrupt. There is a matchmaker who gives people a matchmaker, and tells the man that the woman's small feet are not big, Zhou Zheng. At that time, you were all looking for a woman with small feet, and the man was very happy when he heard it, the little feet were not big, and he was very thoughtful, yes, so marry into the family. When he entered the cave room, the groom was dumbfounded when he saw his feet: Is this a human foot? What's wrong with the hooves? went to find the matchmaker, and the matchmaker said: "I told you a long time ago, the little feet are not big." After saying that, he burst out laughing, and he couldn't stop laughing.

Qing'er also laughed: "You can make it up." ”

Ximei said: "We don't have so many rules in Oroqen, but we talk about character. ”
