The clan elder nodded and said in a loud voice, "Meat——! ”

The lame man jumped up happily and jumped up to the campfire, took out a short sword, and cut the roasted goat into many pieces of meat of the same size with great neatness. Two barefoot boys ran to deliver meat to each of them.

Only in front of Wei Ying was a fat leg of mutton. The pieces of meat were divided, and an old man in red, who had been silent, stood up, took out a wooden sword from his waist, solemnly pointed in a circle, and recited aloud, "The fire flows in July, God gives me meat, everyone is equal, and the clan is prosperous-you meat!" ”

The villagers laughed and grabbed the piece of meat in front of them. The village is and the clan elder bowed his hand to Wei Ying, "Please." Bite! ”

Qin Feng watched from afar and was completely shocked by the simple ritual of the Qin people. But he didn't show up either, just watched.

Wei Ying knew that the Qin people called eating "Huh".

This is a very ancient word, which originally originated from the Zhou tribe. The "Hexagram" of "Zhou Yi" has "Walking on the tiger's tail, not being a good person, Heng." Hexagrams.

"The Book of Songs: Wei Feng" also has "Laughing." Lyrics. The old Qin tribe has the same origin as the Zhou tribe, and inherited the western soil foundation of the Zhou tribe, and the special language of the Zhou tribe was naturally retained among the Qin people.

After the Zhou tribe moved east to Luoyang, they were greatly affected by the infiltration of the customs of the Central Plains for hundreds of years, but they lost many ancient language customs. The word "咥" has become a unique dialect of the Qin people! It was ridiculed by the Oriental scholars as "barbarian vernacular".

Wei Ying felt that the word "咥" was more powerful than the word "咥", and the food in the mouth was "咥", how direct! What about the word "eat", go around in a big circle, you have to beg to get to your mouth, how much to hold your breath? So after he arrived in Qin, he quickly learned the word "Huh", sat down in front of the desk, picked up the chopsticks and said "Huh!" And he immediately began to eat. made Hou Huan laugh a few times.

At this moment, Wei Ying also smiled and arched his hand: "Thank you." Bite! In the midst of laughter, he nibbled on roast mutton with the villagers. Wei Ying tore off half of the leg of mutton, handed it to the daughter of the village next to him, and said, "Give it to you, I can't help it." The daughter smiled and took it and put it in her hand.

The cripple screamed, "Come, the mountain sings——! ”

Then the mountain people blew the whimpering pottery, and the villagers beat the pottery bowl with wooden chopsticks and sang:

In July, the fire flowed through my mountains

The daughter ploughs and weaves the man, and the boy is a soldier

There is no reward for merit, and there is no ploughing for the field

There is no salvation and there is no success in the years

Forget yourself in the sky

Tao Xun whimpered, and his heavy and melodious singing voice floated in the mountain breeze of the summer night, drifting far, far away.

When I returned to the old village and looked at the moon in the sky, it was already the end of the third watch.

There is only one two-bay brick and mud house in the old village, and there is obviously nowhere to stay for customers. Wei Ying has tempered the wind and food and sleeps in the open, and insists on sleeping in the yard.

But the old village and his wife did not agree anyway, saying that the mountain wind would catch a cold, and insisted that he sleep under the wall near the window. This location is only a half-foot-high ridge separated from the old village and his wife's family, and the old village is saying that it is a special place to stay with distinguished guests, warm in winter and cool in summer.

Although Wei Ying is not afraid of hardship, and he has the idea of being at peace with what happens, it is indeed difficult to accept that this man, woman and child sleep in the same room.

However, these mountain people are simple and honest, and they do not look at them as guests at all, and if they refuse, it is very disrespectful. After thinking about it, he couldn't find an excuse, so Wei Ying had to lie down under the window with his clothes, and he was tired from running around for days, and he fell asleep.

In a deep dream, the old Qin people were roaring and killing, and suddenly the corpses were all over the field, the wounded soldiers were crying miserably, lying in the wilderness of the mountain village and no one cared, a monster continued to devour the wounded soldiers, and a beautiful woman's long clothes fluttered, killing the monster with a sword, but it was white snow! She hugged herself tightly, unbuttoned her clothes, and gently stroked his hands on him, she was so bold, she ......

Wei Ying sat up in a strange feeling, rubbed his eyes, and looked at it intently, only to see that Muramasa's daughter was naked. The body was lying on his lap and squirming, abundant. Full flesh glows faintly white in the dark night. Wei Ying broke out in a cold sweat, pushed away the smooth flesh with both hands, and said in a low voice: "Little sister, you can't, you can't do this." ”

The girl from the mountain village chuckled, "What are you afraid of?" Dad asked me to accompany you, you don't want me, I don't have the face to see people. Wei Ying thought for a while and said, "I want to solve it, can I go with me to the courtyard outside?" The girl smiled and said, "If you want to pee, go." As he spoke, he put on a piece of clothing and pulled up the guard to the courtyard.

The waning moon sinks in the west, and the courtyard is a hazy moonlight. Wei Ying smiled: "Little sister, come to the mat and talk to me for a while, okay?" The girl said happily: "Okay, you can do whatever you want." ”

So he brought a broken seat, let Wei Ying sit down, and sat next to him. Wei Ying took off his robe and said kindly: "Little sister, put on this dress and talk again, Leng Li." The girl smiled, put on a long gown to wrap herself, and lay on Wei Ying's lap again. Wei Ying smiled: "Little sister, how old are you?" ”

"Thirteen. How big is the guest? ”

Wei Ying smiled: "Old mile, thirty-six." Do you have an in-law's family? ”

"Nope. There are no descendants in the village, only half of the old people. ”

"Little sister, have you accompanied other guests?"

"Nope. My mother said, I haven't broken my body yet. ”

Wei Ying let out a long sigh, "Little sister, do you want to find a good offspring?" ”

"Yes." Tears welled up in the girl's bright eyes.

Wei Ying smiled with tears in his eyes: "Little sister, call me big brother, big brother help you." ”

"Big, brother—" The girl hugged Wei Ying, but she choked up.

Wei Ying kept looking for various topics, and finally talked to this thirteen-year-old girl from a mountain village until dawn.

In the early morning, the old village and his wife happily made the most delicious wild vegetable gnocchi for Wei Ying, and repeatedly said that the broken woman did not accompany the hospitality. Wei Ying had mixed feelings, and after eating the wild vegetable lumps, he stood up and solemnly said: "Uncle, I am a scholar who travels all over the world, it is useless to ask for money, I want to leave you nine hundred iron money to build a house." Please don't shirk it. As he spoke, he took out the money bag and held it in front of the old village.

"What? What's this called? Not! When Lao Cunzheng heard this, his face was red, and he refused loudly, obviously feeling bullied.

Wei Ying had no choice but to put away the money bag and sighed: "Uncle, there are no young offspring in the village, I want to recognize my little sister as a righteous sister and take her to a friend in Liyang to make a living, I don't know what the old man wants?" Lao Cunzheng shouted with wide eyes in surprise: "Broken girl, come here!" Didn't accompany you last night? ”

The girl lowered her head and whispered, "Accompanied." Muramasa said: "Have you slept?" The girl wiped her tears and shook her head. Lao Cun is shaking his head and sighing, "Ahem, useless thing!" Mother-in-law, you say. The old woman wiped her tears and said, "The guest is a good person, so tell the broken woman to go with him." ”

Lao Cunzheng waved his hand and said, "Go, go, it's not good to see people in the village." The old woman wiped her tears and said, "Broken woman, kowtow to the guest, call the eldest brother, quickly!" The girl smiled and said, "Mother, I called last night." Then he fell down and prostrated before him.

Wei Ying hurriedly helped him up, "Little sister, no need, let's go with the eldest brother." The old village is waving his hand and said, "The villagers haven't gotten up yet, let's go." The old woman said: "Let's go, I'll send off the guest, send the broken woman." ”

Wei Ying bowed deeply to the old village, "Uncle, no one in the village has asked my name. To tell you the truth, my name is Wei Ying, and I went to Liyang to study. If you want a little sister, come to me at the Liyang Weifeng Inn. ”

"Write it down, let's go." The old village was wiping away tears and turned his back.

The sun had not yet reached the top of the mountain, and the ravine was still shining. Wei Ying took the mountain girl's hand and walked out of the ditch, and the old woman beckoned behind her.

"Big brother, I haven't been out of the ditch yet."

"Let's go with my eldest brother and come back when I grow up."

Since then, Wei Ying's footsteps have spread all over the mountains and rivers of the Qin State, and Qin Feng has always followed him, getting to know this Qin State well. He was also very emotional.

At the end of September, Wei Ying returned to Liyang.

After he came out of Shanhe Village, he did not stop visiting Qin because he was carrying a little girl with him. This girl from the mountain village is sturdy and agile, she never shouts tired when she walks and climbs the mountain, and she speaks the old Qin dialect, which brings a lot of convenience to Wei Ying and the mountain people.

Wei Ying gave him a straightforward and easy-to-remember name, called Chen Heya, which means the girl of the Chencang River Valley, so that she would always remember her hometown.

Wei Ying usually called her Heya, and on the way, he told her what she had seen and heard that she felt fresh and curious, which also brought some happiness.

With this small river, Wei Ying waded through Weishui, crossed Nanshan, and searched in the mountains for a month. In particular, he made a careful survey of the Wuguan and Yaoguan on the border with the Chu State.

Out of the Shangyu Mountains, from the Meridian Valley in the middle of the Nanshan Mountains to the north, to Lantian Plateau, straight north through the Weiping River, and then along the Luoshui north, all over the land of Hexi, which has become the land of the Wei State.

At the beginning of September, the autumn wind was slightly cold, and Wei Yingfang came southwest from Diaoyin and arrived at another foundation of the Qin State, the Jingshui River Valley. Within one month, it entered the Weiping River along the Jingshui River valley to the southeast, and finally entered Liyang when the yellow leaves fell.

At this time, Wei Ying was already a black, thin, tall, bearded and tattered shirt, and followed by a skinny little girl, no one could recognize this as the famous Wei Marting, who was plump and outstanding three months ago.

At the Liyang City Gate, the sergeant stopped and checked, saying that the Qin State did not allow Shandong refugees to flow in, and scolded him to go back immediately. Wei Ying silently took out the pass token, and the sergeant repeatedly looked at the small words on the back of the token, "The holder of this token recruits the Xian Pavilion Shizi Wei Ying", was stunned and speechless, and ran to report to Wei Wei Che Ying.

Che Ying hurried to the south gate, examined the token, looked Wei Ying up and down, and bowed solemnly: "Mr. has suffered." Someone came, escort Mr. back to the Recruiting Hall. Wei Ying smiled: "Thank you, General." I also have some personal matters. Then he dragged the skinny river girl away.

Qin Feng is not much different from Wei Ying at this time, he has been sleeping all the way, if it weren't for his deep internal strength, he might have died outside, fortunately, he survived, but he couldn't recognize it, when he took out the Shangqing token, the horror of the soldiers guarding the door was still above Wei Ying.
