Chapter 105: The Picker Conference
In the next few days, Liu Xu and his party stayed in the Guduoluo Department temporarily, Jiang Yuhan's poison was removed by the old doctor's medicine, and she usually used the true qi of the qi conduction technique to force the poison outward, and now in less than half a month, Jiang Yuhan's body has been greatly improved.
During this period, Jiang Yuhan told him the truth when Gudoluo came to visit him, explaining that Huangcheng Island and Qin Island had been occupied by the rebel gangs, and he had escaped in a hurry. Gu Duoluo is very righteous, after listening to Jiang Yuhan's story, he immediately expressed his support for Jiang Yuhan, if Jiang Yuhan needs his help in anything, he is duty-bound.
Jiang Yuhan asked Gudoro to send people to Huangcheng Island and Qin Island to investigate the situation there. The men sent by Gudoluo came back to inform Jiang Yuhan that after the rebellion of the Shaozhuang faction of the Haichao Gang drove Jiang Yuhan away, the Haichao Gang united with those Japanese and Goryeo people to launch an attack on Muping County, and the people of the Great Song Dynasty suffered heavy casualties, and countless goods and women were also taken captive.
After the matter was reported to the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Er, an official of the Great Song Dynasty, was furious. Now it has only been more than three months since the pirate attack on Dengzhou, and there has been another pirate attack on the coastal city, and Zhao Er, an official of the Great Song Dynasty, felt that he had been slapped in the face again, and his sense of anger was especially better than the previous time, and he immediately ordered to mobilize all the sailors along the coast of the Great Song Dynasty to carry out a strict encirclement and suppression of the Haichao Gang and the Japanese pirates, and strictly ordered the pirates to be eliminated. Chang Youhao originally wanted to follow the widows to pick up cheap, but he didn't expect to provoke such a big man, and he regretted it at the moment, but he had no choice but to resist.
According to Gudoro's subordinates, when they went to investigate, the Great Song Dynasty sailors had already gathered many ships to surround and blockade the Japanese people's Liangtong Island and the Haichao Gang's Huangcheng Island and Qin Island, and it seems that the Great Song Dynasty made a great determination to encircle and suppress the pirates this time.
Jiang Yuhan listened. I can't help but feel a little uncomfortable. Although those young Zhuang factions of the Haichao Gang rebelled with Chang Youhao. But after all, they are all brothers of the Haichao Gang, and the Haichao Gang was created by her father, and now the Haichao Gang is facing the situation of being completely encircled and suppressed. However, Jiang Yuhan has no other way, and he can only help.
In the blink of an eye, Liu Xu and his entourage had been in the Guduoluo Department for more than half a month, and this morning Guduoluo sent someone to inform Liu Xu and Jiang Yuhan and the others, saying: When the moon is full tonight. It is the annual meeting of their Gudora Division, and they are welcome to participate
On the clear and beautiful night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, a full moon gradually rose. The full silver moon, like a cosmic lamp, hangs in the center of the night sky. The vastness of space is endless. The clouds are slightly wiped, and the white veil is light, as if the curtain is gradually opening on the stage of the eternal drama of endless celestial bodies. The cold silver glow of the full moon overflowed the entire heavens, and the whole earth was immersed in the harmonics of the moonlight.
On a wide flat ground in the Bone Dora Division, a raging flame rose in the night sky. Like a giant torch, countless boys and girls are holding hands. Singing and dancing around the campfire. The red light of the fire reflected the faces of everyone around the huge fire, and it took on a healthy layer of red. Mars flew in the air, like fireflies flying in the sky, casting a layer of mystery on the night of the grassland.
Liu Xu, Jiang Yuhan, and Ji Xiaoqian sat on a small case next to them, and each of them had a large piece of roasted fat and tender mutton in front of them.
Liu Xu was gently cutting the mutton with a knife, dipping it in salt foam and stuffing it into his mouth. Looking at the happy crowd, eating a bite of meat and drinking a sip of soju, it's comfortable. It's just that I have some regrets in my heart, I originally planned to return to Qingzhou to see Xu Jin'er during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but now I have delayed going back because of the changes in the Haichao Gang, and it is difficult to get together during the festival, and I am somewhat lonely. However, Liu Xu was surprised to find that he had been in the Great Song Dynasty for more than a year, and he didn't seem to have such a strong longing for his relatives in the future, and the first thing he thought of on this full moon night was Xu Jin'er, and it seemed that he had really gradually integrated into this era.
Jiang Yuhan and Ji Xiaoqian didn't eat meat, they just gently sipped the sweet wine in the cup and looked at the happy crowd beside the huge fire. This sweet wine was brewed by the Jurchens themselves, specially for women to drink, and it tasted good, and the two daughters liked it very much. The two of them are obviously thinking about something, maybe it's their lover, maybe it's the matter of the Ocean Tide Gang.
Gudora is very busy today, the annual Mid-Autumn Festival Picker Conference is the most important and grandest festival of the Gudora Department, and Gudora has a lot to be busy with. After hurriedly settling Liu Xu and Jiang Yuhan, Gu Duoluo went to work.
As for the leader of He, the dogs, and the big bulls, they also ran to the crowd of people who sang and danced, and danced joyfully. Although Leader He led them to dance extremely ugly, they themselves enjoyed it
This is Gudoro standing on a small high platform, and said loudly: "Tonight is the annual meeting of our tribe. Dear warriors, I hope you have good luck today, show your courage and strength in front of your beloved girl, and hope that you can all get the favor of your beloved girl. Warriors, are you ready? ”
A large group of men from the Bone Doro Department were shocked.
Gudoro said loudly, "Go and get your horses ready, and the sheep hunting contest will begin immediately." ”
Liu Xu couldn't help but be interested, this was a competition of riding, strength and courage. This ancient game has endured among nomads and has survived to future generations, which shows how fascinating it is. The Jurchens were not nomads before, and in the past, the mature Jurchens mostly farmed for a living, and the Jurchens mostly lived by hunting, but now they have been ruled by the Khitan for decades, and they have obviously accepted a lot of things from the Khitan.
Gu Duoluo invited Liu Xu to participate as well, but Liu Xu declined. His riding skills on a Taiping horse were so hard that he dared to participate in such a fierce competition
With the sound of neat drums, the individual prepares
Gudora personally placed the carcass of a blue-gray mountain sheep that had been slaughtered and gutted and placed in the center of the field. Riders from all walks of life lined up in two lines, majestic and high-spirited, ready to go. With Gudoro's order, the heroic Jurchen rider galloped off and circled the field, and in an instant, the horse snorted its nose, stood upright on its hind legs, and violently pounced towards the center of the field.... A thrilling sheep fight began. The leading Jurchen rider quickly took the whip in his mouth. Throw the reins off the saddle with both hands. Jump and grab the carcass of the sheep. The arrows rushed out of the crowd, destroying the horses and galloping towards the target, while the rest of the Jurchen riders hurried up and chased after them, and the onlookers cheered and shouted. The latecomers chased after him and grabbed the end of the sheep carcass. Fight hard, sometimes several people hold each other, it is difficult to solve, sometimes one person grabs it, and falls off the opponent. In this way, you fight, I take it, many Jurchen riders are fighting, and the heroic horses are cheering, not showing weakness to each other, and not giving in to each other. Hold it in your mouth. Run until you have stripped the carcass of the lamb from its fur. From the last red-faced man in his hand, carrying the carcass of the sheep, circling the destination, and then flying back to the human circle, the man put the carcass of the sheep in its place, he is the real victor. This victory was achieved with strength and speed, and all the onlookers of the Gudora tribe applauded and were convinced.
The last person to pick up the sheep was a Jurchen warrior named Xie Ri Damu, who was personally given wine by Gudora and personally given the name of Jurchen warrior. Of course, he also received the attention of the most girls tonight.
The Picker Conference of the Gudora tribe is the favorite day of the boys and girls, because today you want to marry a lover, and even the parents have no right to object, so this Picker Conference has become the best time for the boys and girls of the Bone Dola tribe to express their love.
Xie Ri Damu was put on his neck with more than a dozen wreaths at once, these wreaths represented the love of those girls, but Xie Ri Damu could only choose one tonight and take it back to the yurt. Although polygamy is not forbidden, the annual meeting of the Tsuro only allows one lover to be selected each year, which is the case for men and women. Of course, if he has two women in the picture, he can only pick one this year, and he will pick it again at next year's conference.
The man who did not receive the wreath that his beloved woman expressed his love for himself was troubled, and it was also troubled that day Tamu received more than a dozen wreaths at the same time, because he didn't know how to pick it now.
But fortunately, he still has the opportunity to examine his own women, because girls also have the opportunity to express themselves
The cheerful drums sounded, and a large group of brightly dressed Jurchen girls danced and sang. For Liu Xu, who is accustomed to seeing the dances of the Central Plains, he found that the style of these Jurchen girls' dances is very different from that of the Central Plains girls, and they are more wild and energetic than the Central Plains women.
On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather was already a little cool, but they were only wearing short vest-style tops, and when they raised their hands to dance, their clothes were lifted, revealing a toned and round small waist, with a small tube skirt tied with horizontal stripes under the waist, Yang Hao's eyes were a pair of round and strong thighs, and the complexion of those thighs was wheat-colored, healthy, sexy, and hot.
The bodies of these girls are very well-proportioned and fit, but Liu Xu found that a tall girl in the middle was the most handsome, with a pointed chin, a straight nose, some upturned lips, a row of snow-white teeth when she smiled, a very chic blue and white cloth and a silver ornament on her neck, jumping happily with her dancing movements, showing her smile and her beauty, simple and natural, full of healthy vitality. This girl Liu Xu knows, she is the youngest daughter of Gudoluo, named Mallena, and she can also speak Chinese. A few days ago, Gu Duoluo sent her to visit Jiang Yuhan several times for herself. Liu Xu has also met her a few times, chatted with her a few times, and what she sees on weekdays is a delicate little girl, but she didn't expect to dance so generously and energetically today.
The exotic dance is very appealing. From time to time, they waved their hands back and forth, their soft waists moving like horses galloping on the grassland, the joyful drums turned into the sound of brisk horses' hooves, and a pair of leather boots on their smooth and soft calves also moved rhythmically. Sometimes, they bend their wrists and swing their arms, like swans out of the water, graceful, with the pretty facial features, charming eyes, obviously a girl full of youth and natural vitality, but it gives people a sense of seduction, and they try to show their charm to their lovers. The dancing girls, raising their hands and feet, singing and dancing, advancing and retreating, are very beautiful.
Many of the men of the Gudora Department have already seen straight, and the rest of them who have not looked straight are looking around for their beloved targets. Liu Xu looked at this dance full of alien customs, and couldn't help but be a little intoxicated, and couldn't help but have a few more glasses, his eyes were already slightly misty.
At this time, the dance of the girls ended, and the teenagers of the Gudora tribe flocked to their beloved target. The girls who didn't pick a lover also held their wreaths and were looking for a target.
That day, Taki had already picked his target, a pretty and tall girl, and she danced unusually well. As for the other wreaths, he could only return them to the girls that day. Of course, the girls were inevitably a little disappointed and sad, some left with their rings, and a few continued to look for a partner.
Some of the boys and girls who have found a happy couple have already left hand in hand and run back to their yurts.
Liu Xu saw that tonight's party was coming to an end, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Jiang Yuhan and Ji Xiaoqian, wanting to tell them to go back together.
When Liu Xu turned his head to look at Jiang Yuhan, a wreath was placed around his neck. Liu Xu couldn't help snickering when he saw Ji Xiaoqian, and hurriedly turned around to look at the owner of the wreath.
A little girl with a handsome face, big eyes, and a pointed chin was standing in front of him shyly, and it was none other than Gudoro's youngest daughter, Mallena.
Liu Xu couldn't help but be a little at a loss, and said with a stammer: "That Mallena girl, that" Liu Xu didn't know what he was going to say.
Mallena was also shy, but she still said in a playful voice: "I chose you to be my lover tonight!" Since Marlena saw Liu Xu, she was attracted by his temperament different from that of a Jurchen man, and she didn't plan to come to the Lang Picking Conference tonight, but when she heard that Liu Xu was also coming to the Lang Picking Conference, she changed her mind.
Ji Xiaoqian laughed and said with a smile: "Senior brother is so Yanfu, accept it, Sister Mallena is the tribal flower of the Guduoluo tribe!" ”
Jiang Yuhan just stared, watching Mallena put her wreath around Liu Xu's neck, and felt a little strange in her heart. This feeling began to appear when Liu Xu saw her body, and it was a little fermented when she knew that it was Liu Xu who sucked out the poison on her shoulder for her, and today this strange feeling is very strong. In her heart, she seemed to be looking forward to Liu Xu's rejection of Mallena.
When Liu Xu heard Mallena say that he chose himself as his lover, he couldn't help but be even more at a loss, Liu Xu said with a little stutter: "That, Sister Mallena, I didn't, eh, I'm not here to participate in any selection conference, that, what, I'm here to see the excitement." Also, what the hell, I have a fiancée. Liu Xu finished his words with great difficulty
Liu Xu eventually rejected Mallena, although he also wanted to enjoy the affair. However, looking at the playful gazes of Jiang Yuhan and Ji Xiaoqian, as well as the figure of Xu Jin'er that kept appearing in his mind, Liu Xu had no choice but to be ruthless and reject Mallena.
Mallena was disappointed and went.
And the men of the Gudoro tribe sighed a lot. Mallena, as the tribal flower of the Gudora tribe, naturally has many admirers in the tribe. It's just that tonight's Lang Picking Conference is the day for the girls to pick Lang. If the girls don't give them wreaths, they don't have the right to pursue their beloved girls. Seeing that Liu Xu did not accept Mallena's love, all the men couldn't help but feel relieved, they still have a chance next year!
Jiang Yuhan saw that Liu Xu did not accept Mallena's love, and he was also inexplicably relieved.
Only Liu Xu was slightly distressed, alas, such a beautiful girl, she refused like this! (To be continued......)
