Chapter 256: Crisis
The Hu people are fierce and unfettered by etiquette, and it is not a big deal for unmarried couples to meet. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info is a human curiosity, everyone thinks that the young master will definitely come to meet the charming future bride, but he has never appeared!
Naturally, Master Ge also inquired about this, but the answer he got was still: he was not there!
That's embarrassing. We're here to send our relatives, not to the door for you to be placed under residential surveillance, and we can't even find anyone who counts.
"It's infuriating...... Summer insects can't talk about ice! ”
Master Ge, who really wanted to show his talents, struggled hard for a long time, but couldn't use any strength. In the end, he simply gave up the idea of communicating with Hu Ren, and became an apartment in the yurt room: Anyway, normal communication is not even useful, so it is better to wait for someone to notify him!
In such a treacherous environment, everyone stayed for ten days.
Something worse than being given the cold shoulder finally happened: not enough to eat!
Agulai's men took most of the rest of the food and grass left by the send-off party, but left them with two days' rations. Everyone ate carefully for four days, and the food reserves were finally exhausted.
Under the mediation of Lord Ge, the Hu people sent people to bring unpalatable jerky to the camp every day. Although this thing is unpalatable to death, at least it will not starve to death; Everyone nibbles on the hot snow water, which can be regarded as a bit wild.
But by this time, even the supply of jerky was insufficient. The amount of each person is only enough to eat sixty percent of the food in one meal, and if you are hungry, just hold on.
Lord Ge's protests had no effect, and the Hu people did not increase the supply of food. According to their words, many people in the tribe also eat like this, and in the winter the food is scarce, and it will pass after a while.
When the news came, there was another scolding on the side of the family sending team:
"The Beihu people are determined to starve Lao Tzu to death. His grandmother's, while he still has some strength, fight with them! ”
"This tribe is so poor that they don't even give people a full meal. Phew! Their nobles eat fragrant and spicy food, why let us drink the northwest wind? ”
"I've seen the outside guard relax a little bit these nights. Why don't you run away at night? ”
It is true that there are a lot of people in the garage who can't fill their stomachs, and that's a fact. However, those are the most lowly so-called untouchables in the tribe, as well as the Han Chinese who have been taken captive as slaves! The fact that the Beihu people treated the mission in the same way as slaves shows how far no one has reached.
If nothing else, the dowry they took in advance alone was a huge sum. If you sell the soft softening that was stolen later, you only need to take out a small part to make the mission better. However, people don't have this idea at all, as if they want to let these Han people fend for themselves.
If there is not enough food, the body will become weak, and soon someone will fall ill due to the lack of adaptation to the soil and water. Master Ge went to look for medicine, and was pushed back by the cold word "no".
At the critical moment, Xia Hanxue stood up.
In the yurt, she gently opened her jewelry box. Lian'er was about to speak on the side, but when she saw her take out a delicate tassel and shake, she hurriedly said: "Miss, this was given by your master when you were fourteen years old!" Miss has always liked it very much, and this time she brought it specially when she was married, saying that seeing it was like seeing her father...... Do you even have to take it for a change? If you sell it in the capital, you may be able to buy a small courtyard, but you can ...... here."
"What else?" Xia Hanxue asked rhetorically: "Is human life important, or is a piece of jewelry important?" ”
After living here for a long time, the locals are less wary of the Han Chinese.
So when there was a shortage of food, Xia Hanxue tried to let Lian'er take the jewelry to exchange for food, but she didn't expect it to be really successful: the Beihu people can often find some food to eat and come back! At present, the patient is in urgent need of medicinal materials, and she keeps taking out her own ornaments, so she can exchange some herbs from the Beihu people.
Curiously, the Beihu people, who were in charge of monitoring and guarding them, did not interfere in the matter. However, it is also relieved to think about it: those valuable objects must still fall into the hands of the tribal nobles after several changes of hands, and in this case, they must also be happy to see it, perhaps this is the so-called "squeezing out the last bit of value".
"Let's go." Xia Hanxue pulled the few things left in the jewelry box, and said: "On weekdays, when you buy things outside, you can count what you can talk about, and everything can be soft and hard to let people give us a discount...... When you change herbs and eat, you should also put more thought into it, and you always have to change more to come back. ”
Lian'er reluctantly let out an "oh" before slowly walking out of the yurt.
After sitting in the house for a while, Xia Hanxue also walked outside slowly. She was greeted with sincere smiling faces:
"Why did the county lord come out? It's cold outside, so you might as well go back! Why don't I light a fire for you? ”
"County Lord, I had a full meal yesterday...... I heard that you exchanged your jewelry for the Beihu people? Don't be like this, the things that my daughter's family carries are treasures, and they can't be given to people casually. The dowry and the money have been robbed by the Hu people, and you are left with this little thought, but don't do it for us...... Hey, I'm strong, it's not a thing to eat one meal a day, and that's what happened when I was at home......"
"I heard that the villain's cotton clothes were sewn by the county lord himself, how can this be done? Hey, when the villain patrols the night, he still sees the lights on there...... Let the villain talk a lot, the county lord has to take care of his body, don't be too tired, or I will be ashamed to be ashamed......"
"Liu Er is a good brother of my fellow villagers, seeing that his illness is getting worse and worse, it is the county lord who wronged himself to exchange him for medicinal materials. I used to think it was a chore to send my relatives, but you are so kind to everyone...... What I didn't say, even if I gave up this life, it was worth it! ”
Xia Hanxue sat in the car almost all the time on the road, although there were occasional opportunities to relax, but there were not many people who could catch a glimpse of her face. As the county lord of Guangling, she naturally doesn't want to go out and walk around all day long like eating barbecue in the woods.
Later, when I came to the boundary of Beihu, I didn't pay so much attention to it.
The place where she can move is only the size of a palm, does it make her stay in the yurt all day long?
There are countless chores in the team, and some of them are really not suitable for rough men. Therefore, Xia Hanxue took the initiative to take on the work she could, and all the people who thought she was a pampered little girl before were impressed by her.
Who wouldn't love such a gentle, amiable and approachable woman?
