Chapter 94: A Family
Lie, who wouldn't!
Looking at the solemnity and distrust on the face of the middle-aged man, Ying Kai began his performance, "That's right, the royal family assigned the two of us to go to Inuqiu to convey the edict to the Qin people, and it was the first time for us to go to such a far place, and after entering the mountain, we got lost, and we came to you unconsciously." If you want to spend the night here with the eldest brother at night, please let the eldest brother stay. ”
The middle-aged man carefully looked at the two of them again, and saw that these two people were in their teens, and seemed to believe it a little.
"Since that's the case, come in!" The man in the prime of life opened the gate of the fence and invited them into the house.
There were several other people in the room, men and women, old and young.
"It's all my family, you don't want to see it." Seeing this, the middle-aged man said to Yingkai, "Sit down." ”
After Ying Kai and Zhao Boyu sat down, the middle-aged man said to Ying Kai: "It's so late, you haven't eaten yet, let's eat something together." ”
Ying Kai glanced at Zhao Boyu beside him, and then said to the middle-aged man: "Then there will be work." ”
After listening to Yingkai's words, the middle-aged man said to the woman beside him: "You go and prepare a meal for the two of you." ”
"No---" The woman obediently walked to the corner of the room and prepared food for a few people.
Only then did she open it and see that in the corner of the room was the "stove" where the family cooked.
It is said that it is a stove, but in fact, it is the tripod used by the ancients to boil water and cook vegetables and the board used to cut vegetables.
Of course, at that time, the board was very simple, just a piece of polished wood.
There was not much time, and the woman prepared the meal, a few very simple dishes, all of which were wild vegetables that people in the mountains often ate, and they were all cooked in water. After all, outsiders came, and the woman specially prepared some meat.
You must know that at that time, meat was easy to find, but vegetarian dishes were hard to find.
After all, it is a hunter in the mountains, as long as you are in good health and have enough energy, it should not be a problem to hunt a few game.
"Bring the wine, I want to have a few sips with the two officials." There is meat and vegetables, and the middle-aged people are also interested, and they command the woman.
The woman reluctantly glanced at the man, and then glanced at Ying Kai and Zhao Boyu defensively.
"Go! Grinding and rubbing something. Seeing this, the middle-aged man said sharply to the woman.
Seeing this, the woman hurried down to prepare wine for a few people.
Although it was spring, the night in the mountains was still quite cold, and when they heard that the man had prepared wine, Ying Kai and Zhao Boyu were of course happy.
After the woman brought the wine, the man glanced at his wife and children in the house, and said to them, "You all go back to sleep, and I will talk to the two officials." ”
Now that the man had spoken, the woman had no choice but to take the children to the next room to rest.
At this time, there were only three people left in the hut: Yingkai, Zhao Boyu and the prime of life.
The man picked up the wine bottle and said to Ying Kai and Zhao Boyu: "The people in the mountains live a simple life, coarse tea and light food, don't be surprised!" ”
After running such a long way, it would be very good to have someone to entertain you, and Yingkai replied: "There, we have just arrived, and we have disturbed the peace of your place, I hope you will forgive me." ”
"Forgive me, you don't know anything about the official family, you usually can't even see anyone in the depths of this Longshan Mountain, to be honest, I'm very happy that you can come." Then, the man picked up the wine bowl and said to Yingkai: "It's cold at night, come and come, drink wine to warm up." ”
"It's better to be respectful than to obey your orders, and do it." Ying Kai and Zhao Boyu picked up the wine bowl and drank it dry with the man.
After drinking, the people let go, so Yingkai asked, "May I ask this big brother, which country's territory is this?" ”
"This is said to be the boundary of the scattered country, but you also know that the current world is not peaceful, Fengrong has been attacking the south for many years, so this has become the place where Rongdi and the scattered country meet." The man said.
Scattered countries?
Sanguo is also a vassal state in the central and western part of the Western Weekend Pass, because it is located at the junction of Qinling and Longshan, the terrain is dangerous, so it is set up here to pass - Dasanguan.
"If it is a scattered country, why is it reduced to a border? Didn't you say that Lord Yin Jifu swept Rong Di north and drove all Rong Di to the north of Longshan, why do you still say that this is the border between Sanguo and Rong Di? ”
Although Ying Kai knew what was going on, he still wanted to hear the people's opinions on this matter from the mouths of the people of the scattered country.
Horizontally, it is a peak on the side of the ridge, and the height is different from far and near.
A thing, a question, a proposition, each person is in a different position, and their views are also different.
"Well---, having said that, you also know that Rong Di is a nomad, and if you drive it away today, they will come here on horseback tomorrow. How can it be so simple when legs grow on other people's bodies? There was a clear hint of complaint in the man's words.
"So Rong Di has been here recently?" Ying Kai asked tentatively.
"It's coming, a few days ago, there were a few Fengrong's scouts peeking on the mountain."
Peep?
That's a good word!
To peep is to peek.
Just look at it, but it's not good-looking, but you have to look at it secretly, and make it look like it.
If nothing else, but from the use of one word, you can see the resentment of the local people towards Feng Rong.
Feng Rong was here a few days ago?
Hearing this, Yingkai was a little restless.
Feng Rong had just finished fighting with the Qin people, so he came here to snoop, what did they want to do?
Hearing the man's words, Zhao Boyu couldn't help asking, "You said Feng Rong came here a few days ago?" Didn't the royal family send troops north to Fengrong again? How dare they come here? ”
"The royal family is conquest of Fengrong again?" After hearing this, the man shook his head with a blank expression.
It seems that the news in the mountains is closed, and the royal family sent 7,000 soldiers and horses to help the Qin people fight Fengrong, and they don't even know anything about it.
Ying Kai asked with some disappointment: "Since Feng Rong has sent someone to peep here, you haven't reported the news to the government?" ”
"Report? Of course I did! ”
"What does the government say?"
"What else, Rong Di hasn't come here once or twice, when he first came, Sanguo still took this seriously, and he also fought with Rong Di. But if you lose more and win less, you will ignore it later, and you will get tired of it, and it will be in vain to say it. They told me they knew, told me to be more careful, and there was no more news. The man said indignantly.
Be careful?
What a few simple words!
I don't want to say any more.
"Oh, so the government doesn't care about your business?" Yingkai asked.
"Hey---, what's the matter? You don't even look at it, there are quite a lot of people living here, and due to the continuous southward migration of Rong Di over the years, the people can hardly bear the harassment of the enemy and are forced to move south, and now we are the only ones left here. ”
Yes?
There is only one family in such a big place, and they are not afraid of panic?
This is not a desert, thousands of miles uninhabited; This is not a wasteland, there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles; This is not an undeveloped deep mountain forest, a paradise for prehistoric animals.
This is the edge of the rich Guanzhong, backed by Longshan Mountain, facing the Guanzhong Plain, which is a rare small mountain basin.
What a nice place, there is only one family.
