Chapter 5

87_87272 Su Yan was stunned by this unexpected reversal.

Su Jiming was also shocked and speechless. Xiwu ...... Trick himself on?

Hainan Island is sparsely populated, there are Han people, Miao people, Li people and Wu barbarians, although the imperial court set up an official government in Danzhou, in fact, it is a virtual existence, the Han people in Danzhou are weak, and they cannot govern the alien people here. Several different ethnic groups can still live in peace on the small Hainan Island, but the barbarians are very hostile to the Han people, the last Danzhou governor and Danzhou Bijia were killed by the barbarians, the territory of the barbarians is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the court has a headache for them, the sailors are weak, it is difficult to send troops, so for a long time, Danzhou is the world of foreign races.

Xiwu allowed Su Jiming to come into contact with the Miao, but he was not allowed to interact with the Han. Su was not able to pass through the water, and it was impossible for him to leave alone, and he could not catch up with the Han people, so he was unable to return to the interior for a long time.

There are 5,000 people in the Wu barbarians, Xi Wu is the high priest of the Wu barbarians, and there are five other priests under his command, most of them are still very friendly to Su Jiming, only a priest named Xi Piao has always hated Su Jiming, it is said that Su Jiming is the nemesis of the Wu barbarians when divination, and one day he will bring disaster to the Wu barbarians.

Many times, Xi Piao wanted to kill Su Jiming. It's just that Xiwu is very protective of Su Jiming, so he can't find a chance to start.

And Xi Piao has always asked Xi Wu to find a woman to pass on his bloodline. First, the Wu Barbarians have always claimed to be descendants of the gods, and Xiwu is the heir who has inherited the purest divine blood, his magic power is the strongest, and his heir will be the successor of the next high priest. Second, he also hopes that Xiwu will stay away from Su Jiming.

Every year there is a fixed day when the purest maidens of the Barbarian tribe perform a memorial service, which is presided over by the priests, and by the way, the priests choose the person who will inherit their bloodline. At that time, Su Jiming had been living in the Wu Barbarian Tribes for more than half a year. Xi Wu went to preside over the event, and Su Jiming was tricked by Xi Piao to go to the snake cave in the back mountain, and Xi Piao wanted to drive the poisonous snake to bite Su Jiming to death.

The priests of the Wu barbarians all have the ability to drive animals, especially Xiwu's ability. He once gave Su Jiming a horn pendant, and it was the pendant that saved Su Jiming's life, so that the poisonous snakes did not dare to approach him. Su Jiming simply took advantage of this opportunity to escape and hide in the mountains.

Three days later, Su Jiming was rescued by Xiwu. Regarding this escape, Su Jiming did not explain, and Xi Wu did not ask, probably thinking that he was stimulated by Xi Piao. Su Jiming had to hide his Han identity, otherwise the barbarians would definitely kill him, so he acquiesced in all misunderstandings.

Then, there was the matter of Xiwu Gu...... What happened to the Gu worm that was fed his blood in the end, Su Jiming didn't know, he was shocked and chilled at the time, and he just wanted to protect himself. Looking back now, he wanted to go out to bask in the sun under the pretext of being cold, and when he came back, there was only an empty bowl left on the table, and the Gu worm was gone, probably because Xi Wu had planted it in his blood.

Su Jiming always thought that his escape annoyed Xiwu, so he gave him a love Gu and wanted to control him. Xiwu said very little, never expressed his emotions, anger or affection, he always hid it in his heart. Therefore, Su Jiming didn't know what he was thinking at all. Could it be ......

Xiong Lai mocked: "The woman of the black barbarian tribe probably wanted to show her loyalty to you, but you mistakenly thought that she wanted to harm you. It's pitiful, ridiculous! ”

Su Jiming was speechless.

"Let's go." Xiong Lai put away the Gu King, his expression disgusted, "I don't welcome people like you here, from now on, you are not allowed to set foot in this place again!" ”

Su Jiming left Xiong Lai's residence with Su Yan in despair.

"Childe, what's going on?" Su Yan asked cautiously, "...... is that woman?"

Su Jiming shook his head, reluctant to say more. Proud as he is, even if it is Su Yan, it is difficult for him to talk about this year's experience.

Although Su Yan was full of questions, the son refused to answer, so he stopped asking.

Early the next morning, Su Jiming dressed up and got into a carriage to visit Wei Qiong, the special envoy of Lingnan.

The carriage stopped outside Wei Qiong's mansion, Su Jiming got out of the car, and immediately a guard greeted him: "Lord Su, Lord Wei has been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Su Jiming hurriedly followed the person inside.

Entering the lobby, a white-skinned man in his early thirties was sitting drinking tea. Su Jiming stepped forward and saluted: "Xiaguan has seen Lord Wei." ”

The man hurriedly put down the teacup and came up to help Su Jiming: "Qingzhe, there are no outsiders here, why do you have to make such a big gift." "Qingzhe is Su Jiming's expression.

Su Jiming straightened up and laughed: "Brother Ziyu." When he was still in the capital, Su Jiming often mingled with a group of royal nobles, Wei Qiong was one of them, and when the two were good, they could drink a glass of wine together. Wei Qiong's relationship with the emperor was extremely close, and when Su Jiming was demoted, Wei Qiong interceded for him in front of the emperor, but at that time, the overall situation had been decided, and there was no room for maneuver.

Wei Qiong said: "This is the Qingzhe I know." He hugged Su Jiming hard, pulled him to the hall and sat down, and looked at him carefully.

Wei Qiong said: "When the news of your shipwreck last year reached Beijing, I couldn't believe it. How could such a misfortune happen to you? It's really unfair. Fortunately, a few days ago, a fisherman found me, saying that he had seen you in the Wu barbarians, and I immediately sent someone to Danzhou. ”

Su Jiming was slightly surprised. The fisherman was a Han man who accidentally broke into the territory of the Wu Barbarians and was rescued by him, and it turned out that Wei Qiong sent someone to save him. Fortunately, the fisherman found the right person, if he went to find Qin Chun, let alone save himself, I am afraid that the fisherman will be killed by Qin Chun. Fortunately, there is no endless road.

A hint of anger suddenly flashed in Wei Qiong's eyes: "That damn Qin Chun!" I have heard about you, you have been trapped in Danzhou for a year, Qin Chun has never sent anyone to rescue, and released the news that you have been in distress in the shipwreck, if it weren't for the news from the fishermen, I don't know how long you will be trapped in the barbarian land. ”

Su Jiming sneered. Qin Chun's wife is from the same family as Zhao Cai's wife, so Qin Chun is also Zhao Cai's person, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Qin Chun deliberately murdered him.

Wei Qiong looked left and right, and said in surprise: "You haven't changed much from two years ago, but your complexion is darker." ”

Su Jiming has been living in a foreign race for a year, Wei Qiong thought he was ready, and saw a Su Jiming who was tortured so much that he couldn't see his human appearance. Unexpectedly, Su Jiming didn't look too bad, not only did he not lose weight, but he was stronger, and his complexion was also very good, at least he couldn't see any scars from his bare skin.

Wei Qiong said: "Did that barbarian ever insult you? ”

Su Jiming's eyes flashed, and he said, "They don't know my identity." I lied to them that I was a Miao person, who went to sea to do business, and only when I encountered wind and waves did I end up in Hainan. They only imprisoned me, but they didn't ...... Mistreat. ”

Wei Qiong was slightly stunned, laughed, pointed at Su Jiming and said, "I know!" How can a cunning guy like you suffer! ”

Su Jiming looked embarrassed. Although he was not abused, he shared the bed with the high priest for nearly a year, and if this matter was known, I am afraid that he would no longer have a reputation and dignity in the court, and it is not impossible that he will even be convicted of fornicating with a different race.

Wei Qiong was very interested in the affairs of the Wu Barbarians, and kept asking: "The Wu Barbarians have always been the most mysterious people, and their people never leave Hainan and have little contact with the outside world. What kind of life are the people there? Ru Mao drinks blood? Not yet civilized? ”

Su Jiming said: "I have never drunk blood, but their clan is isolated from the world, and their customs are indeed very different from those of the Han people in the Central Plains." ”

Su Jiming was imprisoned when he first entered the Wu Barbarian Clan, and since he was of a foreign race, those people were afraid that he would do something unfavorable to the Wu Barbarian people, and they had considered whether to put him to death. Su Jiming naturally couldn't sit still, in the next few months, he did a lot of things for the Wu barbarians, and successfully reversed the impression of the Wu barbarians on him, and later, the old and young in the clan loved him very much, and even many old people wanted to marry their daughters to him.

At first, Su Jiming was guarded by the tribesmen in turn and held in a wooden house in the clan. Because of the isolation of the Wu barbarians, they don't know anything about the Central Plains, and their lives are very simple, and when they take care of him, the villagers are very bored, the women weave and do laundry, and the men drink and chat or sleep, and the day passes. Su Jiming was bored because he was idle, and he also wanted to win over the villagers, so he sharpened some stones as chess pieces and taught them to play chess.

The rules of chess and hand talk in the Central Plains are too complicated, and it is difficult for beginners to get started, so Su Jiming thought of some simple rules to teach the people, and after the people learned, he continued to change the rules to increase the difficulty, and later added bets, and those people had a lot of fun. Originally, not many people were willing to take care of him, but later more and more people volunteered to come and see him, and more than a dozen people were crowded in a hut, and dozens of people were watching outside, all wanting to play chess with him. And the games he made up also spread among the barbarians, men, women and children vied to learn them.

After Xiwu found out, he began to take care of him personally. However, because many people already liked him, Su Jiming was given more freedom, except that he could not leave the village, he could walk around the village at will during the day.

Danzhou fruits and vegetables are abundant, the barbarians rarely eat meat, but also eat rice, the rice of Danzhou is different from the Central Plains, it is the mountain rice that grows in the mountains, it is not easy to sow seeds, although Danzhou is an island, but lack of fresh water, if it is a dry year, the harvest of mountain rice is not good, and the food of the tribesmen will become more and more monotonous. After Su Jiming knew about it, he designed a waterwheel for them and drew drawings to teach them to drain the spring water on the island, saving the clansmen the effort to fetch water.

Su Jiming has the ability to never forget, reading Zuo Chuan at the age of five, and reciting Tiangong Kaiwu at the age of ten, which is simply a living library. He spread the civilization of the Central Plains on the island and made things more convenient for the people of the people, and at the same time, he was also learning about the civilization of the other races. Within three months of his arrival on the island, he had learned the language of the Barbarians and was able to read their books independently. He found that there was very little mention of food in the books of the Barbarians, presumably because although the Barbarians were not short of food, their food really had nothing to do with deliciousness.

So in order to satisfy his appetite, Su Jiming began to study how to make zuò food.

Sour - Danzhou has an edible leaf taste bitter, take its branches and leaves to crush and mash the juice;

Sweet - there are honey, golden coconut, etc. on the island, which are very sweet;

Bitter - Su Jiming hates bitterness, so he doesn't have to think about it.

Salty - The most important thing that the island lacks is salt.

With these, Su Jiming quickly made up a lot of delicious food.

He put the rice in the golden coconut, cooked it with coconut water as rice water, and after it was cooked, the coconut shell was opened, and the rice was sweet and delicious. Although the barbarians rarely hunted, they could catch fish, and they marinated the fish in salt and honey, roasted it, and then used the juice extracted from the fermentation of the fruit as a sauce. He also boiled soup with fish bones, and the soup was used to cook vegetables, which had a rich taste; He used a limited number of ingredients to fry, boil and steam to create countless new flavors and textures, and the women of the island rushed to learn from him.

However, there is one point, but Su Jiming wants to learn from the barbarians - the barbarian people make wine is a must, the coconut wine and pineapple wine produced are smooth in taste, the first taste of the wine is not noticed, but the stamina is extremely strong, if the person who is not strong enough to drink underestimates the wine, accidentally greedy for a cup, it will not be long before it is like ascending to the fairyland, in the clouds, I don't know where the world is.

And Su Jiming is the one who can't drink. Su Jiming also paid a great price for this - after waking up one day, he found that he was lying naked on Xiwu's bed, and all the ups and downs of last night were not hallucinations!

"Qingzhe?" Wei Qiong shook his hand in front of Su Jiming's eyes, "Why are you distracted?" ”

"Ahh Su Jiming came back to his senses suddenly, and for a while, his face was like a rainbow.

"Y-What did you just say?" Su Jiming hurriedly took a sip of tea to hide his embarrassment.

Wei Qiong looked at him strangely, and after a moment asked, "I heard that the high priest of the Wu Barbarian Clan is not an ordinary person. Is there such a thing? ”。
