In the evening, a group of people pulled Li Benqing's nephew and uncle to eat together. () Wang Aoya sent people to bring a lot of food and rice wine, which was just right for the treat. Xiong Buyou knocked on the side and inquired about many situations in the village. It turned out that after the death of the previous lord of the village, because his son was still young, he was assisted by the four Aoya of the village, and the big and small things were collectively decided by the Aoya. The first surname is the king, the oldest who came to invite them. Wang Aoya is also the uncle of the lord of the mountain and is a member of the family. As for the young man who was quite active outside the shed, it was another son of Jin Aoya, named Jin Huan, who was a good hunter, and had great prestige among the young people in the stockade.

Li Benqing, who was a little drunk by Shanlan's wine, also revealed: The woman who was accused of being the "forbidden mother" was Zhen Huan's good friend in the boudoir, named Xiaoda. At the ceremony, Jinhuan turned his face on the spot and almost slaughtered Daogong. Suppressed by the other Oya Alliances.

"It's not going to be easy," said Li Benqing, "and everyone says that his son instructed him to ban the lord." ”

“weishenme？”

"The earliest owner of the Xinzhai is a member of the Zhen family." Li Benqing drank too much rice wine, "The Array family has been here for ten generations—"

"So long?" Fang Jinghan was a little skeptical.

"Don't interrupt, listen to what Ribaya has to say." Mu Min said.

Li Benqing heard Mu Min call him "Baya", and his face was full of smiles. This is the name of the Li people for their close and respected elders.

"About four or five generations ago, right?" Li Benqing doesn't know the specific year, "The whole family of the ancestors of Wang Tong also moved to Benzhai, their family was originally Han Chinese, and the genealogy said that they came from a very northern place on the mainland. Or what kind of general of the Han people. At that time, our village was fighting with the nearby Shuishi village. At that time, there were many dead and wounded among the children of the Zhan family. The children of the Wang family will dance with knives and guns, and they will destroy Shuishizhai with everyone. From then on, the Wang family will be the master. ”

"So the Wang family is actually Han?" Xiong Buyou said, "But how could a general move his family to live in Lizhai? ”

Fang Jinghan said while making this record: "The so-called generals, probably because they are raising their own worth, right? Maybe it's even the local fugitive military households. ”

Li Benqing said: Since then, there have been two major shili in the village, one is the Wang family, and the other is the array family. Although the array family is no longer the lord of the mountain, after all, it is deeply rooted and has a lot of shili in the village, so at least one of the four Aoyali is a member of their family.

Now that the lord of the Wang family is young, the Zhen family has a son like Jin Huan, who has appeal among young people. The balance of strength is clearly beginning to tip in favor of the array.

"Jin Huan is not only famous among teenagers, but also very popular in Boudoir." Li Benqing rarely drinks alcohol, but when he let go of drinking, his nose turned red, "As soon as I stop in front of which boudoir at night, the door will open, no need to speak, no need to sing." Gee. But Koda is his favorite. ”

"Sounds like a copycat version of Gong Dou?" Mu Min said, "Could it be that the son of Zhan Aoya wants to take the plane?" That's why it's preventing us from healing the lord? By the way—" she became excited, "I wonder this bamboo thorn is also his troublemaker!" ”

"You've read too many novels, right?" Cui Yunhong disagreed, "Even if it's true, it doesn't matter about us." ”

"Ugh." Mu Min sighed regretfully, in the few minutes just now, she had already completed an outline of a palace fight novel in her mind that could be sent to Jinjiang.

For the next two days and nights, the young man's high fever did not go away, and He Ping took his temperature every two hours, gave him sulfonamide every six hours, and then changed the dressing. On the morning of the third day, the teenager's body temperature dropped to normal levels. I was much more sane. Start feeling hungry. When He Ping changed his dressing, he found that there were no traces of new pus and blood in the drainage strip - the wound could be bandaged.

Now everyone knows that the lord of the mountain is cured. When the expedition team was glad that this matter had finally been successfully completed, all kinds of diseases in the village had sprung up. Cold and heat, toothache, stomach pain and traumatic inflammation are all included. He Ping is just a two-knife hygienist in the end, and he is confused on the spot about such rich internship opportunities. He didn't have much medicine in his medicine cabinet either.

At the moment, I had to treat all the diseases that were easy to treat and could be diagnosed. After seven or eight minor surgeries in a row, He Ping now has a very elegant knife, and even the stye that he used to think he couldn't do has dared to do it. However, he was still very careful and did not dare to give antibiotics indiscriminately, for fear of messing up the microbial environment here. As for diseases whose causes are difficult to judge, such as stomach aches, He Ping simply made some pills with rice flour and bee mime sent from the village to distribute, and many people claimed to be cured after eating them - the placebo liliang is still very powerful.

In this way, the Shilu Iron Mine Expedition Team became a miracle doctor, and every day the items sent by various households in Lizhai continued. When everyone found that these "miracle doctors" don't eat much pork and beef, and seem to like chicken, there is not a single live chicken left in the whole village. Cui Yunhong looked at the various gifts piled up in the courtyard in front of Li Benqing's house with great distress, from game, live chickens, rice wine, leather, kapok, kudzu cloth and various rattan utensils...... There are all kinds of them, and it can be seen that the most haode products in the neighborhood have been taken out. Cui Yunhong suddenly found that there were still people coming and bolting in front of the door.

"What is this for?" Cui Yunhong asked Wang Huoji.

"This is the money for your medical treatment," Wang was also very happy to see that this group of vendors from the boat were so powerful, the tide was rising, and he had been invited by many people to eat in private for a few days, and he had a meal of wine and meat, "The Li people have no money, only mountain goods and cattle." ”

"This—" Cui Yunhong thought to herself, Wu Nanhai liked the local cattle very much. The question is how to drive the cattle back to Changhua Fort? It's a jishu job.

While they were hesitating, the Oyaş sent for them to go to the feast.

At the banquet, all the four major Aoya arrived, and took turns to toast the expedition team, the young man was weak after his illness, and he did not eat or drink, but sat in the upper shou with his mother, looking at this group of strange vendors curiously.

After a few rounds of rice wine, Wang Aoya, led by the four major Aoyali, patted his palm, and someone took out a plate at the moment, Cui Yunhong looked at it, it was white and green, large and small were fragments of silver and copper coins, which looked like a lot, but in fact it was only a dozen taels of silver and more than a thousand copper coins. The Li people do not pay much attention to the money and money, the transactions are barter, and the yellow and white things are not gathered, and they can take out these things and turn the village upside down.

"It's a small thing," said Wang Aoya, "and fifty cows were given as a gift." ”

The Li people love to feed cattle, and there are a lot of cattle, and the Li people often use cattle as a price for trade.

This number startled them. Don't say it, how can so many cattle rush back to Changhua Fort? Besides, Changhuabao itself cannot raise cattle, so it has to be transported back to Lingao and handed over to the Committee of Agriculture. The thought that they would have to feed the cattle and collect the cow dung for the next few weeks was unanimously stared at the leaders of the team, and asked him to refuse immediately.

Mu Min said to Cui Yunhong: "We can't accept this gift." These many cattle, I'm afraid half of the whole village, have been given to us. What do they do with farming? ”

Cui Yunhong didn't think so noblely, but was afraid of being a cowherd. Although the starting point is different, the point of view is the same, so he resolutely excused himself: They only do good deeds to help the lord and the people of Li to heal, and it is inconvenient to receive such a big gift.

Seeing that their words were sincere, they were completely different from the ordinary hawkers' eyes when they saw money, and they had a little more respect in their hearts.

"You have such a great favor to my Li Village, and you refuse to accept gifts," Wang Aoya felt embarrassed, "I don't know what to thank you for?" ”

Mu Min felt that the opportunity had come, the girl who was falsely accused of being a "forbidden mother" was still locked up in the village, and she could only be killed if the master recovered. They asked if they could forgive her, and if they were afraid that she would harm others, they were willing to take her out of the village and never let her come back.

Li Benqing, who served as the translator, was embarrassed and reluctantly turned their meanings over. This request made the leaders in the room look embarrassed. From the bottom of my heart, it is naturally a good thing to clean up such a dangerous "forbidden mother" as Xiaoda from the eyes, but it is unreasonable to let the Han people take away a woman of their own tribe in any case. They also have great favors to this village, and it seems that not agreeing is not a way of hospitality.

After a while, Wang Aoya said: "Xiaoda is a 'forbidden mother'. If it brings you a 'forbidden', how can we afford it, or cut her off on the spot. ”

Mu Min asked for it in the third place, but Wang Aoya just refused, and suddenly Aoya spoke: "This is a scourge, even if you kill her here, you will harm people as a ghost." A few Ba and mana are strong, and they are afraid that they can still suppress her. ”

The lord of the mountain, who had not spoken, also nodded and said, "Let a few Ba He take it." After all, the Daogong in the village couldn't suppress her. ”

Wang Aoya's face was unhappy, but because of the meaning of the lord, he did not have a seizure. And so it was settled. Wang Aoya repeatedly wanted to give them gifts, after some courtesy. Cui Yunhong felt that it would be too rude not to collect it again, and besides, the Committee of Agriculture also needed cattle. Now he promised to take ten heads. Wang Aoya was overjoyed and immediately ordered people to prepare ten healthy oxen.

Cui Yunhong thought of the soaphorn forest outside the village again, and proposed to bring a few hundred catties back.

"Good!" Zheng Aoya didn't know that they were interested in those beans, but since they wanted to, they agreed and arranged for someone to pick them. The two sides carved wood as a deed, the traveler at least once a year to Li Zhai to treat their illness, and the traveler only needs to go to the Li District to do business, with this wooden card, you can rest and stay in the village, food and firewood are all supplied by Li Zhai, and you can also support the porter and the cow to transport goods if there is something.

In the evening, everyone enjoyed the guests, and the next morning, the expedition team set off back to Changhua Fort. Everyone and Li Benqing got along for more than ten days, and when they were separated, they naturally had an inseparable relationship. Wang was very happy, this time he brought this group of people to Li District, not only got rare white sugar as foot money, but also got many gifts from the local Li people. It's a small fortune.

Ten cows were all bundled with baskets of saponari beans, as well as many local products and the like, because there were too many gifts, Cui Yunhong could only take one or two more useful things from each family's gifts, and return the rest. This action made the whole village very moved, and it was in the name of benevolence and righteousness.

Wang's men drove the cattle in front, and the expedition team then went out of the gate of the village, and the Aoya people and many Li people saw each other off at the gate of the village, and the atmosphere was warm. Xiong Buyou said: "Now I know what it's like to be the eighth road-"

Mu Min sighed with emotion: "This is the people's heart." ”

Walking three or four miles away, beside the woods, Aoya and a few Lidin were waiting for them. A woman was tied to a tree with ropes, her hands tied.

"This is Yuda," Jin Aoya ordered to untie the rope and hand it to Mu Min, "She's yours, take her as far as possible, don't bring her back." Even the name is better to change. ”

"Got it, we'll treat her well." Mu Min looked solemn.

There was a hint of gratitude on Aoya's indifferent face: "Xiaoda is a poor child, you are good people, take care of her more." ”

Jin Aoya finished speaking. Directly took the person and turned his head and left. Everyone was disappointed. Xiong Buyou spoke:

"Why do I think this Aoya doesn't believe that she is a 'forbidden mother'?"

"There's probably something hidden, we don't care about that. Just to save someone's life. Cui Yunhong said, "Let's go." ”

Mu Min walked in front of the woman, probably because of the detention, the woman's hair was messy, she was wearing a low-necked shirt on her upper body, and a blue bucket embroidered with white flowers on her lower body, and her clothes were stained with a lot of dirt, and she was torn in a few places, looking very embarrassed.

She glanced at the group in horror and stooped back. Only then did everyone see that her face was not as heavy as other Li women, but there were some thin and light ornaments along the edges of her forehead and cheeks. The curved eyebrows, looking no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, were born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and after seeing too much literature, at first glance at the face of such a young woman, everyone felt that there was a sense of brightness.

Mu Min was strange and asked Wang Guy: "Her writing is very shallow?" ”

"That's the end of the story." Wang said that it is true that some women do not want to be literal, but only symbolic - after all, everyone has a love for beauty.

A group of people embarked on the return journey with this unexpected gain. Mu Min originally wanted to untie the rope that bound her hands, but Cui Yunhong said that they promised to take this girl away, and if she ran back to Lizhai if she untied it, it would harm herself, and secondly, it would seem that we were untrustworthy.

Xiaoda is very obedient, let go and go, let you rest. It's just that no matter who asked, there was no word. Mu Min thought that she was young, because of a trumped-up charge, she followed a group of strange foreigners to go nowhere, and the pain in her heart can be imagined. It's better not to talk too much and ask more.

After walking more than ten miles, I suddenly heard a "whoosh" in the air, followed by a sharp hiss.

It is a musical instrument of the Li people, and it is probably more appropriate to use it as a woman's name. This musical instrument is actually a product of modern times, and the Ming Dynasty did not know. It resembles a pan flute.
