After Zhang Xiaowu, Xia Ming, Wang Xiaojian and others entered the tunnel, Hu Li whispered: "How do I feel a little uncomfortable, I always feel that something will happen." ”

"Phew!" Zu Gongmao kicked his ass, "Spit and spit, say you are talking nonsense." ”

Hu Li hurriedly spat on the ground and said, "I just talked nonsense, I talked nonsense." ”

Wu Song immediately said to Cao Li: "Cao Manzi, let your people be ready, once you find that the adults are in danger, immediately kill them and save them." Regardless of the rest, you can only rescue the adults, Cao Manzi, you remember, you would rather your people die, you would rather throw your life there, and save the adults alive. ”

Although Wu Song strongly supported the Wulin people in charge of the assassination operation, he was vaguely worried about Zhang Xiaowu's safety in his heart, compared to the life of the master of the rivers and lakes, it was obvious that Zhang Xiaowu was more important to everyone.

Cao Li took the order without saying a word.

Xia Ming walked in the front, Zhang Xiaowu followed, Zhu Wushuang followed behind Zhang Xiaowu, dragging the corner of his clothes, Zhang Xiaowu said: "Just pull the rope." ”

Zhu Wushuang said: "I'm afraid. ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "I'm more afraid." ”

"Huh? Are you a general also afraid? ”

"Of course, what are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid of the dark, so what are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid you'll pull my pants off."

"Poof—"

Everyone was happy, and the nervous mood was swept away, but Zhu Wushuang was angry and anxious, and beat Zhang Xiaowu several times, Zhang Xiaowu said: "It's okay, it's okay, and then dance and dance to make a gray, wait a moment for the Tartar people to see it, and think that the corpse buried in the ground is cheating the corpse?" ”

Zhu Wushuang held back a smile and said, "Aren't you a general?" Why are you so poor? ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "I, the more nervous I am, the more I want to relax, so I don't want to ask everyone if they have written a suicide note, right?" ”

Wang Xiaojian suddenly said: "Yes, we didn't write a suicide note, regret, regret." ”

Xia Ming's hoarse voice said: "Don't regret it, we will rest in a while, and when the time comes, you can write a suicide note." ”

There was a smell of earth in the tunnel, every five people were holding a lantern, and all of them were holding a rope, and the rope was tied to Xia Ming, who was leading the way. The more they walked, the more they felt that they could not breathe, and after about two thousand steps, there was a little fresh air, and here was a ventilation opening, the size of a fist, hidden in a rabbit's nest. However, the rabbit nest has some pungent smelling medicine to prevent any small animals from taking over the burrow and becoming its nest.

After resting for a while, everyone continued to walk, and after passing through a ventilation hole, they finally walked for an hour before they came to the real exit, the exit of the North Tunnel. Xia Ming, who was in charge of guiding the way, carefully removed the camouflage door at the exit, climbed out first, and slowly climbed up to the pile of smoke and stones that covered the entrance of the cave, and he lay on the top of the pile of smoke and stones and looked out cautiously.

Although it was already night, it was still dark and clear outside. The summer season in Saibei is characterized by exceptionally short days and long days, and then going north until you reach the far north, where there is hardly any darkness all day. In the winter, the dark days are unusually long and the daylight hours are very short, which is exactly the opposite of summer.

At this moment, there is still light outside.

After a while, Xia Ming returned to report that it was safe outside, and Zhang Xiaowu walked out of the tunnel and cautiously lay on the pile of smoky stones (coal) and looked out. Because the purpose of setting up the smoky stone warehouse is to heat the barracks, it is close to the fire room of the barracks. Because of the summer, the Tatars did not need to use smoky stones for heating, so they abandoned this place.

The Tatars liked to live in domed tents, which were so spacious and comfortable that Zhang Xiaowu's "grave-style" barracks were used as storehouses and cells, and in addition to some supplies, a group of female slaves were held for sexual pleasure.

The female slaves of the Tatars had two tasks, one was to work for the master, and the other was to bear children to the male master. Female slaves were also divided into equal places, and female slaves who gave birth to children for the male master were called subordinate women, whose status was higher than that of female slaves but lower than that of concubines. If a slave girl or slave girl is favored, the male master will officially accept her as a concubine, and the female slave, the female slave, and the concubine are all slaves in the eyes of the male master, and are under the control of the female master.

The mistress of the Tatar people is the wife of the man, and the custom of the Tatar people is that there can only be one wife, and she must be a Tartar woman of pure blood, and no female slave is allowed to be taken as a wife. If a man sees his wife punishing a woman and a concubine, the man can only wait for the wife to teach the slave girl before interceding, and he cannot interfere with the wife teaching the slave girl in the process. Once a man is distressed and interferes with his wife's lesson to a slave girl, the wife has every right to kill the slave girl directly, and lead the mother's family to besiege the man until the man admits his mistake and relents.

Of course, not everyone follows this rule and tradition, after all, there is only one wife, and there are many female slaves, many of whom are young and beautiful. In the palace of the northern royal court of Ligao Tusai, there are more than 100 delicate and beautiful slave girls, more than 30 subordinate girls and more than a dozen concubines, and this trip also brought 20 female slaves for him to enjoy every day. But the reason why Legotto is so obscene and absurd is not entirely because of lust, but because he is cultivating the population for his own tribe, and the Tartars believe that only when the people are prosperous can the family clan develop. In the eyes of the Tartars, the slave girl was nothing more than an object, a tool for fertility, which they could reward or buy and kill at will.

At this moment, a celebration was held in the plague village, and it turned out that Ligaotu had given a female slave girl to the concubine of his son Suri Lekeba. In the eyes of the Han people, this kind of father's woman is against humanity to be a little wife for her son, but in the customs of the Tatar people, it is the most normal. There are too many women in Ligaotu, and I can't remember who the woman who married my son is and what she looks like, and rewarding her female slave to Suri Lekeba is the greatest love for her son.

Maybe it's just an excuse, an excuse for people to drink.

Xia Ming turned around and said, "Everyone write a suicide note and throw it into the tunnel." I have paper here, and you can write in smokestone, which is black. ”

"You." Zhang Xiaowu said, now is not the time to go out, everyone simply sat behind the pile of smoke and stones, and wrote suicide notes in various ways. Zhang Xiaowu was still lying on the pile of smoke and looking out, Zhu Wushuang stepped on the smoke stone and made a creaking sound, Zhang Xiaowu sighed, Zhu Wushuang walked over cautiously and also lay on the pile of smoke and stones.

"Have you written a suicide note?" Zhu Wushuang asked.

"Have you written it?" Zhang Xiaowu asked rhetorically.

Zhu Wushuang said: "I wrote it, I asked my grandfather and aunt to have another daughter, because it was my reincarnation." What about you? ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "I don't write because I won't die." ”

"You've got someone you care about, right?" Zhu Wushuang asked.

Zhang Xiaowu smiled bitterly and said in a low voice: "The person I care about, she doesn't care about me anymore." ”
