Du Lie and Utu saw that although the little man and woman were poorly dressed, their faces were fair and moist, and at first glance they were pampered and had a good life, and their temperament was outstanding.

The little half fat sheep was roasting on the fire, bubbling with oil from time to time, attracting the attention of the two big men, and it seemed that they had come to Yan Duo's father's house to eat meat.

The next conversation between the three made Li Luo and Cui Xiuning more clear about the pirate extermination.

"There were only thirty or fifty of those pirates. It is said that there are not only Koreans and Han Chinese, but also Japanese people. In less than two years, several major cases have been committed in Jianghua, injuring nearly 100 lives, and provoking the anger of the county guards. ”

"This morning, the county guard issued another document to arrest the thief, and a heavy reward was given. Those who learned of the pirate lair were rewarded with fifty cents. Kill one person, reward hundred! ”

"You want to receive a reward? I advise you to put this thought out. Don't say that pirates are cunning rabbits, and they can't be found all over the sea. Even if you know about the lair, it's just a matter of dying. Last night, some people saw that the pirates were all ironclad and unstoppable. We don't have swords, armor, and weapons, so how can we fight the pirates? ”

"We Jurchens shouldn't be so cowardly."

"Don't fight. Iron-clad pirates are rare, and they must be elite routs, so you don't have to take risks. ”

"Lang...... What Daddy said is very true, I just have to obey orders. ”

"The destroyed Pu family is still a small family, and this group of pirates slaughtered a family of scholars, and sooner or later they will be wiped out. I heard that in addition to the naval army moderation envoys, the soldiers of various families on the island will also go to sea to kill. ”

"So what? How to find the vast sea? It's just a waste of money and food. ”

"Don't say it, the meat is cooked......"

Hearing a few people talk about the arrest of thieves, Cui Xiuning was obviously a little excited, this is obviously a matter of the police! Thinking of this, she felt that the barbecue she had been allocated was no longer tasteful.

Du Lie and Utu, who have been talking endlessly, didn't say a word at this time, dealing with the barbecue in their hands like a storm, and it seemed that their usual life was indeed hard.

In a short time, the little half fat sheep turned into a pile of bones.

Yan Duo said: "The day before yesterday was lucky, and I actually hunted two fat sheep. There is one left, and the two of you will divide it and bring it back, and give it to the Goryeo lady at home. ”

Utu excused himself: "How does this work?" Now that meat is expensive, how can you ask for a ...... Daddy's prey? ”

Nowadays, there is not even enough food to eat, let alone meat. Although Ganghwa Island is an island, there are too few beaches to catch fish without fishing boats. Hunting is not so easy, in addition to archery, you also have to have a bow and arrows. Although Utu and Dulie are not bad at archery, they have no bows and arrows, they can't shoot hunting, and they can't get meat to eat.

Bows and arrows are not easy to make, it takes a long time, and the beef tendon used to make bowstrings is a scarce material and expensive. A pair of cheapest eight-bucket willow wood bows and arrows are also sold for ten times in Jianghua Mountain City, and ordinary people can't afford it at all. A better bow and arrow are more expensive.

Yan Duo said: "It's okay, it's just a sheep." However, I don't have much time to go, and I can't pull the bow anymore, so it's hard to eat in the future. When the New Year turns, the bow and arrow will be given to you. ”

Dureol and Utu looked gloomy. Even Li Luo and Cui Xiuning were uneasy, unexpectedly that soon the old man would have no food. In fact, they had meat to eat as soon as they came, and they were fortunate to meet Yan Duo.

Yan Duo smiled: "You wait for Hugh to be a child." When the snow stopped for the next two days, I went into the mountains to try my luck and shoot a prey in exchange for a bag of grain. ”

Li Luo couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you set traps to hunt?" ”

Du Lie shook his head: "Brother Li, no one dares to set a trap. ”

Utu sneered and explained: "More than ten years ago, Ganghwa Island was still the royal capital of Goryeo, so there were many royal families and nobles on the island at that time. When these people had enough to eat and had nothing to do, they went to the mountains to recite poems, and who would have thought that two noble sons had fallen into a trap and died. ”

"Hehe, this is terrible, the king of Goryeo was furious, caught the hunter who dug the trap, and the whole family of five was tortured by dogs. He also ordered that from now on, anyone who dared to dig a trap would be punished by dogs for the whole family. You say, who would dare to dig traps and hunt? ”

Cui Xiuning was very interested in criminal law and couldn't help asking, "What is dog punishment?" ”

Li Luo gave her "popularization of the law": "It is to tie people up, put them together with dogs that have been hungry for a few days, and let the vicious dogs tear them up alive and eat them." Li Luo explained to her, and said in his heart that this stick nation is really strange from ancient times to the present, and even a death penalty is so novel.

It is in modern society that North Korea not only retains dog punishment, but also invents artillery punishment, tying people to the muzzle of a cannon, and banging into slag, looking like they must not be provoked, so I ask you if you are afraid.

When Cui Xiuning heard the explanation, a wave of anger surged in his heart. This world is too barbaric and inhumane, right? Dig a trap, and the whole family will be bitten to death and feed the dogs!

Yan Duo said: "The laws of the Goryeo state are very harsh on the common people and untouchables, but they are still better than those of the Meng Yuan. In the Central Plains now, it takes the whole family to collect a kitchen knife privately. If you dare to say 'Hulu' and 'Tartar', you must pull out your tongue. ”

Although Kublai Khan issued an edict saying that he would be lenient and prudent and cherish human life, it was just a lie because of his lenient punishment and prudent law. It was only against the Mongols and the Semu people. ”

"As for people of other races, but slaves, naturally the 'leniency and prudence law' does not apply, once they break the law, they will not even be tried by a judge, and they will be executed by the local Mongolian lord or Daru Huachi, and they will not be criminalized."

Du Lie said angrily: "The Jurchens who are still in the Central Plains today have all been divided into slavery. The people of Jiangnan and Jiangbei are all 'driving mouths'! ”

Utu said: "I heard that Kublai Khan's favorite retainer Ahma has more than 7,000 slaves, although most of them are Han Chinese, but there are also many Jurchens. ”

Yan Duo sighed and said, "It's useless to talk about it, it's okay." He turned his head and said to Li Luo: "I thought badly yesterday, I didn't think about it well, and it seems inappropriate to go to Liufu to sell the belt rashly." ”

Li Luo said: "Dad also thinks that the Liu family will snatch cheap buys? ”

Yan Duo said: "The self-respecting identity of the head of the Liu family may not be like this. But the Liu family's gentlemen can. The children of the big families of the Goryeo family, as many as greedy and cunning, are not uncommon. When they heard your accent, they knew that they were visitors from other places, and when they saw that your gold belt was rare and valuable, their greed was unpredictable. ”

Cui Xiuning said unprecedentedly: "Dad, we are also from a family......" Hearing that she couldn't sell the belt, she was a little anxious.

Yan Duo said: "You have been in the Central Plains for a long time, you have not recognized your ancestors and returned to your ancestors, you are poorly dressed, and you have no followers, just relying on the name of the Li family and the Cui family, you can't control the Liu family, a sitting tiger, and the other generation can completely disown your family identity, and even kill people and take money." ”

Li Luo was very disappointed, "That's why this way doesn't work?" ”

Yan Duo shook his head: "That's not it. It can still be sold, one is that you recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors, sit on the origin of the children of the family, and have the family as a shield, no matter who the buyer is, you will naturally abide by the rules. Second, you can only quietly look for reliable buyers, which is not in a hurry. ”

Li Luo sighed: "Then let's slowly find a reliable buyer." ”

Du Lie asked: "Why didn't Brother Li simply go back to Renzhou to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors?" After crossing the strait, we arrived at Inju in one day. ”

Li Luo wrote: "I grew up in the Central Plains, and now that the industry is all lost, and I am empty-handed, how can I return to Renzhou with a face?" Even if I go back, the clansmen are afraid that I will share the family wealth, and they may not recognize me. ”

"Even if you admit me, it is inevitable to be excluded. Therefore, I want to establish a foothold in Jianghua first and accumulate some belongings before I can go back to meet. ”

Yan Duo nodded in agreement: "That's exactly the reason. Li Luo is right, he went back empty-handed, with the weak affection of the family, he must have a very difficult life, and it is unknown whether he can be accepted.

Yan Duo pondered for a while and said, "Since you want to live in Jianghua temporarily, then I will borrow a courtyard for you." It used to be owned by my brother-in-law in Goryeo. ”

"Five years ago, his only son was captured by the Mongols and died at sea, and his wife and brother died one after another due to grief, and his family was abandoned. Fortunately, there are still a few pieces of furniture, so if you don't feel unlucky, you can live in peace. ”

Li Luo suddenly showed gratitude, and said very wrongly: "Don't thank you for your kindness, so thank you to Father Yan Duo, and there will be a reward for the next generation." Cui Xiuning also thanked him repeatedly.

Yan Duo nodded, then walked to the corner, rummaged in a jar for a long time, and then took out a handful of copper coins.

Du Lie and Utu looked at each other, wanting to say something, but finally didn't say a word.

"There are less than thirty yuan left, you have no money, first use it to solve the food of these two days, and I can't do anything else." Yan Duo said.

"Daddy, this ...... How can the younger generation bear it? has already benefited a lot...... "Li Luo actually wanted to take it over, but after all, he was very guilty. This should be Yan Duo's last bit of money.

Yan Duo forced a handful of copper coins into Li Luo's hand: "Although the eldest husband has no money, it has been difficult for a hero to have a penny since ancient times, so he has to refuse." ”

Yan Duo's father sent charcoal in the snow, Li Luo couldn't help but be very moved, he is really short of money now. Cui Xiuning also wanted to cry a little.

Seeing that Li Luo had collected the copper coin, Yan Duo said to Du Lie again: "Du Lie, take them to that deserted courtyard while it is early, help them pick up and tidy up, and live in time." ”

Du Lie agreed, and immediately asked Li Luo and the others to go with him to the deserted courtyard left by Yan Duo's wife and brother.

The two thanked Yan Duo again, and then followed Du Lie out of Yan Duo's house.

Utu waited until Li Luo and Cui Xiuning walked out of the small courtyard, and immediately asked Yan Duo, "Lord Lang, why do you want to help them so much?" ”

Yan Duo said: "If you can help when you are in trouble, it can be regarded as a good fate." And this little couple also reminded the old man of his son and daughter-in-law, and he couldn't bear to see his hunger and cold. ”

Utu suddenly knelt down and roared, "Lord Lang, take the clansmen to fight again!" Lord Lang is the eldest grandson of Emperor Xuanzong, and he is the eldest son of Dajin, why can't he lead his clansmen and the Yuan court to fight to the death! ”

Yan Duo was full of sorrow and gloom, and said slowly: "Utu, why can't you listen to the old man's words? Daikin has been dead for more than 40 years, and the Central Plains of the old country is like a dream, how can it still be resurrected? Isn't the plan for the restoration of the country a dream? ”

"Your father and ancestors have been loyal to Dajin, and the old man doesn't want you to waste your lives for Dajin, which has long existed, and let the remaining clansmen be exhausted by the ethereal Wang Tu's hegemony."

Utu gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Lang, how can you live like die?" How many clansmen in the Central Plains have suffered, does Lord Lang really bear to ignore it? Why are we like dogs under the Goryeo fence? ”

Yan Duo sat down weakly, "Utu, the old man is over the age of six, and his days are numbered, and he has suffered many great changes over the years, and he has long been disheartened. I'm never afraid of death, but I'm afraid that the last bit of Jurchen people will die because of me, and I won't even have seeds left! ”

"We have had many incidents over the years, and each time the result has been that the Mongols have killed more and more ruthlessly. The old man's wife in the Central Plains was killed because of me, and the wife of Goryeo was also killed because of me. ”

Utu fell to the ground crying silently, "Lord Lang ......"

Yan Duo continued: "Now that the Southern Great Song Dynasty is dead, and Meng Yuan is even more invincible, there is no more opportunity, so don't act rashly. As long as the Jurchens live, no matter how long it passes, there will be a day when they will make a comeback. ”

Utu said sharply: "Lord Lang, even if we can't return to the country, we have to avenge a blood revenge." Du Yeol and I have contacted the remnants of the Sambetsu Rebel Army, and planned to jointly attack the Goryeo Palace, the city, and kill the queen of Goryeo, the princess of the Yuan court! Get a little justice for the Jurchens who died tragically! ”
