Chapter 131: Going to the Meeting Alone
Miao nationality is a relatively early ethnic minority in sinicization, can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the object of worship when they are sacrificed is Qu Yuan, and even the written text is horizontal and vertical Chinese characters, the spiritual inheritance of this ancient celebrity on the bank of the Xiangshui River, only the Miao people in Xiangxi inherit the most complete.
Yanglin did not have much research on ancient literature in later generations, but Qu Yuan's "Lisao" was still read, if the Miao people grew up in the spiritual world described by Lisao, then their development is better than other southern Xinjiang tribes It is understandable, Qu Yuan is a reformist who yearns for a better future, "Lisao" has his love for life and nature, his hatred of traitors and courtiers, his outstanding vision in politics, his criticism of the dirtiness of reality, and the loyalty and filial piety of the ancients. Yang Lin didn't believe that the Miao people who grew up under the influence of this kind of ancient Xiongwen would be bloodthirsty, so he planned to go there to see what was going on in person.
"Xue Dudu, gather your men and horses to set up a defensive formation ten miles outside the new city and stand by, scorpions, bring the escort team, and we will go and see what the situation is." After asking the guards who came to report clearly, Yang Lin decisively gave an order. With the current strength of Yuezhou City, it is impossible to be the opponent of 30,000 Miao soldiers, and the Miao people in Yanglin have no reason to use force with the imperial court at this time, because since Li Yuan ascended the throne and established the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court has not interfered in the internal affairs of the Miao people at all, and the Miao people, who have always been barely self-sufficient, have not been bold enough to occupy the Han people.
The Dongting Lake area is mountainous, and the land roads are extremely difficult to walk, if the Miao troops are taking the road that Yanglin has just walked all the way to Yuezhou, I am afraid they set off a month ago, two hundred elite guards walked for half a day before walking more than ten miles, Yanglin decisively sent the guards to find a place to ambush on both sides of the rugged road, and he was carried by a scorpion around his waist and flew through the forest. The two of them went alone, and even if they couldn't talk at that time, they should be able to get out of the way.
The Miao people march is no different from sightseeing, they don't feel any pain when running on the fine stones with bare feet, the big bluestones that block the road and the big tree branches above their heads are their tools to move forward, this monkey-like marching method through the forest can occasionally be seen in Sun Dasheng's monkey army, it seems that the Miao people are more familiar with this set, Yanglin holds a telescope on a big tree branch and carefully watches the Miao people who are silently hurrying away, from their line of color, this belongs to a state of rapid marching.
In the middle and late sections of the line. Yang Lin rarely saw a sedan chair, strictly speaking, it is a stretcher with a shed, the difficulty of marching on this rugged mountain road with a pair of four people to carry a stretcher, is more difficult than riding a big mule horse, looking at the agile and light walking posture of the four sedan chair bearers, Yang Lin concluded that the inside is not an old man who can't stand the bumps, or a seriously injured patient, and then takes care of the guards around the stretcher. The clothes and armor are more complete and luxurious, and Yang Lin has determined who he wants to talk to.
Giving the scorpion a look, he consciously hid his body behind a big tree elsewhere, while Yang Lin put a large bullet case of a shotgun hanging on his chest in front of his lips and blew it. While blowing, he swayed his calves hanging down the branches, for fear that others would not see him.
"Someone."
The sharp whistle can be transmitted to a long distance in the valley, not to mention that the location of Yang Lin is just above the marching road, and the panicked Miao people all raised their weapons and looked at the location of the whistle. After discovering that it was a child, the vigilant mind relaxed a little, and this is the role played by the harmless appearance of Yanglin humans and animals.
"The Han family baby on the tree. I see that you are richly dressed, why are you in this deep mountain and old forest? "The Miao people really know etiquette, which can be reflected from their questioning, the reason why they did not belong to the Han Dynasty is mainly because the place where they live is too remote, whether it is outsiders going in or they coming out, it is difficult to walk without walking on the mountain road for a month or two, so whether it is a Han or a Miao person, they are too lazy to contact each other, and over time they will have a part.
"I'm waiting for you! No, it's waiting for your leader. Yang Lin climbed the tree pole from the branch and climbed down slowly, and after a while, an old man in rich clothes next to the stretcher came to him.
"Where did you come from, Xiaotong, I don't kill innocents, go back to your parents quickly, if you dodge in time, you may be able to avoid the disaster of your family." The old man spoke a good Chinese dialect, a little rural accent, very similar to the Xiangxi migrant workers who went out to work in later generations, he did not kill Yanglin, all because of Yanglin's harmless face, eight or nine years old doll, just like his granddaughter.
"The old man is so angry, but if there is anything that cannot be solved, tell me, maybe I can resolve the disaster of your clan! You may not know, but the Han people call me Little Immortal. "Yang Lin is to sell the rhythm of the cuteness to the end, observe the words, take advantage of the other party's psychological weakness to negotiate is the skill he learned in the business field of the later generations, once used this trick, he let a female boss who has a little bit of interest in his beauty willingly give tens of millions of profits to himself I don't know why.
"Little fairy? Can you solve the problem that my Miao Jiang Gu God can't solve? Get out of the way quickly, the old man will let him see the head of the Han who murdered him before my son dies. The old man said with a few more colors on the clothes, which made people feel more luxurious, and said with some sadness and indignation, and from his sunken eye sockets, Yang Lin could even see a trace of shaking tears.
"Gu God? Those magic sticks who raise bugs to deceive people? It's okay for their tricks to harm people, but it's not okay to use them to save people, that requires the medical skills of our Han people. Listening to what you said, grandfather, your son shouldn't be dead yet, since he is not dead, why don't you let me see it! If I had saved him, wouldn't I have saved him from a calamity of the Miao and Han tribes. ”
Xiangxi Miao is the first to begin the sinicization of the Miao forces, and Guizhou and Guangxi Miao people, they have always pursued their own set of good and evil concept, not so hostile to foreign people, but jealous of evil, revenge will be avenged, perhaps from the other side of the interpretation of Qu Zi left by the literature of the reason, they feel that Qu Yuan's death is related to his gentle and deceitful character, so they have been teaching their descendants to be self-reliant, good people are bullied by others.
Yang Lin's words made the old man of the Miao nationality speechless for a while, this is really not like what an eight or nine-year-old, intellectual and uncivilized child said, and then looked closely at Xiang Yanglin's eyes full of aura, the old man seemed to believe three points in his heart, maybe this child is really his son's lucky star, otherwise there is such a bright and intelligent child in the world, seeing that the old man no longer said anything, Yang Lin walked to the stretcher holding the tulle by himself.
"Who!"
A crisp voice sounded from the white gauze tent, and then a fleshy little hand pulled the white gauze away, revealing a small face with pear blossoms and rain, and the speaker was a little girl about the same age as Yanglin, dressed as a Miao person, and the color on her body determined that her identity was extraordinary, and then looked at the wet linen strip she was holding in her hand, she should be taking care of the big man lying on the stretcher.
"Little sister, I'm here to treat this injured man, my medical skills are very good, I can save people who haven't died yet, can you let me show him?" Yang Lin's words were gentle, and his expression was also gentle, looking at the little girl who was carved in pink and jade, she was even more gentle, and touched a handful of tears under her big round eyes, and the little girl cried urgently: "You save my father, he is not dead, he is not dead"
Perhaps it was the little girl's cry that made the old Miao man and a few of his guards a little sluggish, Yang Lin opened the white gauze tent before they wanted to stop it, and before the guards came to lift him, Yang Lin shouted loudly: "There is still help." ”
In fact, Yang Lin hadn't seen the symptoms of the bloodless man at all, just to let these Miao people give themselves a chance to rescue, and the little girl who broke into tears and laughed grabbed his arm, for fear that as soon as she let go, this baby character who suddenly jumped out flew away, and said in a standard official language: "You save my Daddy, you save my Daddy."
The guards retreated at the signal of the old man of the Miao tribe, and the old man personally hugged the Miao girl away, arched his hand and asked Yang Lin: "My Xiangxi Miao Wang Lan clan has been passed down to the eighteenth generation, only my son Lan Ying is a man, if you can really save his life, it is my Miao Lan clan's great benefactor, the old man is not too much to thank you with the strength of the whole clan, please be sure to help." ”
From the short words, Yang Lin had already heard that this Miao elder should be the largest group of Miao troops in Xiangxi, the patriarch of the Lan clan, or the patriarch, anyway, it was the meaning of the leader, and the one lying on the stretcher should be his only son, and the little girl who was held in his arms and wiped her tears was his granddaughter.
The matter is very important, whether Yang Lin can save the person on the stretcher is likely to determine whether the Miao Lan clan will go to war with the imperial court, Yang Lin did not dare to be careless, and began to comprehensively check the body of the big man on the stretcher.
The big man's injury was actually not serious, compared to Ma Yongquan, who was shot like a hedgehog and jumped into the Weishui River, the injury was much lighter, but he was shot through the shoulder blade by a barbed arrow, and was stabbed through the belly by a spear of the imperial court. He will die in two days. (To be continued......)
