Chapter 162: Portrait of a Beauty
That night, Xia Xue, Ouyang Qian, and Yeluna lived in a tent specially arranged for them by the patriarch and received the warmest hospitality. Yeluna, who admired Xia Xue very much, chatted with Xia Xue for a long time, chatting about the eight Khitan tribes, their Yuling tribe, the greed of the Turks and the plundering and invasion of the Khitan, and even about their unique marriage robbery customs. Ouyang Qian was very curious about the marriage robbery of the grassland people, she felt that marriage was sacred and could not be destroyed, how could she still rob marriage. Yeluna said that the Khitan wedding is the same as the wedding in the Central Plains, and the bride and groom will also wear red and gorgeous Khitan costumes and bowled red tasseled hats, which is extremely festive. However, there is a custom of marriage robbery between tribes, and the groom is on the way back to the groom's house from the bride's house, and he has not yet arrived at the groom's house. Other tribes can take a team of horses on the way, intercept the bride halfway, and rob the relatives! Ouyang Qian was dumbfounded.
Xia Xue also told Yeluna that the purpose of coming to Liaodong this time was to find Dugu Jun, of course, Xia Xue did not say that she was the queen of the Angel Country, nor did she say that Dugu Jun was the black-clothed guard commander of the Angel Country, but just said that they were all in business, Dugu Jun, Ouyang Qian, Li Kang, Jiang Yong, and Song Gang were also in their caravan, Yeluna listened to the love story of Ouyang Qian and Dugu Jun, and was moved to tears, saying that she would not go back to her father for the time being, and help them find Dugu Jun in Xianbei Mountain first.
Early the next morning, Ouyang Qian got up, and she was anxious to go to Xianbei Mountain. Xia Xue comforted her for a while, and then went to see Patriarch Yeluxiu with Yeluxiu, hoping that he could send someone to help him find Dugujun, and Yeluna also hoped that Patriarch Yeluxiu would do his best to help. Patriarch Yeluxiu was very grateful to this little fairy who saved their tribesmen, and without saying a word, he called more than 20 tribesmen such as Yeluxin, Chaolu, Xiaoda, Tara, and Muren to help find people in Xianbei Mountain.
Everyone set off after breakfast, and with the help of these local Khitan hunters, the efficiency was greatly improved, and they found Dugu Jun's residence in Xianbei Mountain on the third day. This information was provided by a Khitan orphan in Xianbei Mountain, whose parents were killed by the Turks, and who herded sheep by himself, and whose nine-year-old child was named Amur.
Amr said: "Ten days ago, a handsome but pale big brother came to us, he hung a sword around his waist, and he was also dressed in the clothes of the Han people in the Central Plains, but he could speak Khitan, the big brother was very good to me, and often hunted some game for me, and the big brother temporarily lived with me in a cave in the mountains......"
Ouyang Qian was overjoyed before she heard Xia Xue's translation, and immediately pulled Amr straight to the cave, along the way Amr chattered to Ouyang Qian about the things behind her big brother, but unfortunately Ouyang Qian didn't understand Khitan and didn't understand a word, she was so anxious that she couldn't wait to fly to the cave to see her sweetheart who was thinking about her day and night. Ouyang Qian pulled Amur and flew as fast as she could, leaving Xia Xue, Yeluna and the others behind.
Xia Xue looked at Ouyang Qian's impatient Qianying, shook her head with a smile, and sighed softly: "Love is terrible!" "Women in the future era are more erudite and rational, pay attention to self-improvement and career development, and can control their feelings better, unlike women in the modern era who are so crazy about love.
Before arriving at the cave, Ouyang Qian left the panting Amur, rushed into the cave first, only to see that the cave was dimly lit and empty, she looked around in disappointment, and suddenly saw a portrait pasted on the wall of the cave.
Xia Xue and Yeluna heard Ouyang Qian's cry in the cave behind, and they were startled, and hurriedly quickened their pace, rushing into the cave, only to see Ouyang Qian crying like a tearful person in front of a portrait.
Xia Xue walked to the portrait to look at it carefully, only to find that it was a portrait of a beautiful woman, and it was Ouyang Qian painted on it.
Ouyang Qian threw herself into Xia Xue's arms and cried, the muscles on her soft face twitched and twisted violently, making a painful choking sound, hearing Yelu Na's throat choked and tears watered, and Xia Xue's nose was sour and her beautiful eyes were damp.
Xia Xue didn't stop Ouyang Qian's crying, because she knew that crying was good for women's health. The erudite Xia Xue knows that when people are emotionally depressed, they will produce certain bioactive substances that are harmful to the human body. When crying, these harmful chemicals are excreted with the tears, which effectively reduces the concentration of harmful substances and relieves tension. Crying is beneficial for relieving emotional stress.
But Xia Xue also knows that everything has a degree, no matter how good it is, it will not be good if it is excessive.
She knows that although proper crying is good for her health, she can't cry without scruples, and the crying time needs to be moderate. It should not exceed 15 minutes. After the depressed mood is vented and relieved, you can no longer cry, otherwise it will be harmful to the body. Because the gastrointestinal function of human beings is extremely sensitive to emotions, sadness or crying for too long, the movement of the stomach will slow down, the secretion of gastric juice will decrease, and the acidity will decrease, which will affect appetite and even cause various stomach diseases.
Xia Xue waited for Ouyang Qian to cry happily for about ten minutes before asking what was going on?
Ouyang Qianli said with rain that this painting was painted by Dugujun when she was traveling in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and asked a painter to paint it by the West Lake. It seems that the big brother that Amr said is Dugu Jun.
Xia Xue called Amur, who was watching stupidly from the side, over and asked him about the details of his eldest brother's later life.
Amur said that five days ago, more than 100 Turkic villains suddenly came here and robbed dozens of nearby Khitan herdsmen from their cattle, horses, sheep, young men and women, and robbed him of all his flocks. When he cried and went back to the cave to tell his eldest brother, he was furious and said that he was going to take back the sheep that had been robbed. After saying that, let him hide in the cave, and then quickly went down the mountain with his sword in his hand to chase those Turkic villains.
He had been waiting on the mountain for five days, but he never saw his eldest brother come back, and after saying that, Amr also cried, and he asked Xia Xue and them, "Did the eldest brother also be captured by the Turkic villains?" ”
After Ouyang Qian heard Xia Xue translate for her, her eyes fainted as soon as it was dark, and Xia Xue hurriedly hugged her. It took a while for Ouyang Qian to wake up, and she said anxiously to Xia Xue with tears like rain: "Sister Xue'er, please hurry up and save Brother Jun, he must have been captured by the Turks!" ”
Xia Xuexiu frowned slightly, she stroked Ouyang Qian's long hair with her hand, and then gently stroked Amur's little head, and said solemnly to the two: "Don't worry, I will definitely save Brother Jun back!" ”
When Yeluna heard that the Turks had come to rob their Khitan people again, she was so angry that her willow eyebrows rose, her apricot eyes widened, and she gritted her teeth and said: "This group of beasts has come to plague our Khitans again, and this time we must not spare them!" ”
Xia Xue thought calmly for a while, at present, the enemy is outnumbered, and he can't act rashly, and he heard Yeluna say that the Turks have robbed almost all the war horses of their Khitan Yuling tribe, so now most of their Khitan Yuling tribe has no war horses, so if they boldly start a conflict, the Khitan herdsmen infantry who have not undergone strict training will fight against the fierce Turkic cavalry, in this vast grassland, it will be sent to death. And without war horses, it is impossible to catch up with the Turkic cavalry.
Xia Xue thought for a while, and asked Yeluna to go to his father, Yelulu, the leader of the Yuling tribe, to borrow three hundred Khitan warriors, even if there were no war horses, as long as the archery was accurate. Then let Yeluxin, who was accompanying him, go to the patriarch of Yeluxiu, a small tribe in their Xianbei Mountain, to borrow twenty Khitan hunters.
After the men and horses arrived, they gathered at the foot of Xianbei Mountain, and she prepared to lead the Khitan warriors to counterattack this group of hateful Turkic invaders, and at the same time rescue the captured Dugu Jun and the Khitan herdsmen. Yeluna and Yeluxin were happy to hear that the magical little fairy was going to lead them to fight back against the Turkic invaders, and they believed that with the little fairy leading, they would definitely be able to teach those rampant Turks a hard lesson this time, so that they would never dare to invade their Khitan Yuling tribe and Xianbei Mountain casually in the future.
