Chapter 34: The Peach Grove

Zhang Xin leaned against the tree, shielded from the sun by the shade of the peach leaves, and nibbled on a big peach in his mouth, "Huh...... Dorjee ......"

When the Tibetan people heard Zhang Xin simplify his name to Dorjee, they shook their heads again and again, "No, no, no...... Fifth master, the villain can't afford to be called Dorjee. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Zhang Xin scratched his head, "Isn't it just a name...... What is there to deserve to be worthy? By the way, what does Dorjee mean in the Tibetan language? ”

The Tibetan man said piously: "Dorjee in our hometown refers to the protector of the Buddha, which means Vajra. If it is used as a personal name, it must be used to praise the most brave and warlike warrior in a tribe, and a person like a villain is not qualified to be called Dorjee. ”

As soon as the Tubo people said this, Zhang Xin instantly remembered that the Dorjee who was killed by himself was not known as the "No. 1 Warrior of the Six Yak Tribe".

"Okay, Dorsey." Zhang Xin changed his words and said, after all, do you have to respect other people's customs and habits, "uh...... You know, my head hit in Liangzhou, and now I can't remember a lot of things, I'm sorry, but it seems like I'm meeting you for the first time. So...... Can I ask how you became a slave..... Well...... How did you come to the Tang Dynasty, if you feel embarrassed, you don't need to talk about it. And Mo Si, you too, if it's convenient, tell me about yourself, so that I can get to know you too. ”

Listening to Zhang Xin's words, Doshi was silent for a while, with a look of reminiscence in his eyes, "Actually, there is nothing bad to say, I was originally a child of a small tribe in Tibet." In fact, before Zampu unified the Great Tibet, the large and small tribes of Tibet had been fighting non-stop, the big tribes annexed the small tribes, and then arrested the people of the small tribes as serfs, but even if Zampu unified the Tibetans, it was not much better. Although the big tribe did not dare to be blatant, but still secretly went to the small tribe to catch serfs, our family was captured by others in this way, and our own tribe is relatively small, the leader did not dare to offend the big tribe that captured us, and our family could only be serfs for others. Although there is a lot of land, the grain output is much lower than that of the Tang Dynasty, and one acre of land is less than 100 catties of barley a year. That winter......" said this, Dorsey's eyes turned red, "That winter, I don't know why it was very cold, and the winter was very long, it was almost April, and the heavy snow was still closing the mountain. Most of the grain harvested last autumn was handed over to our masters, and only a little grain was left to survive the winter...... But...... That bit of food was eaten up in March, and my dad wanted to go to the master's house to get some food on credit...... But the host doesn't do it...... I beat my father to death, and when my father died, my mother and sister soon starved to death, so I had to hide alone in the house and guard their bodies...... Fortunately, when I was dying of starvation, a caravan from the Tang Dynasty got lost and came to our house, saved me, and then I was sold into slavery...... In fact, they are slaves everywhere, but it is much better in the Tang Dynasty than in Tibet, at least ...... Don't starve ......."

Listening to's words, he also smiled bitterly, "Fifth Master...... In fact, I was the same, the grassland was hit by a white plague that winter, countless livestock were frozen to death, and the herdsmen had no lambs, so they had to voluntarily sell them to Datang as slaves for a little grain...... In fact, as long as there is a mouthful of food to eat, who wants to be a slave......"

Zhang Xin took a bite of the peach fiercely, in the distant fifteen hundred years later, the grain was all moldy, and even when it was time to harvest, the granary was full of old grain, and there was no place to put the new grain...... But at this time, whether it was Tibet or Turkic, starvation was simply the norm.

"I'm sorry......" Zhang Xin said apologetically, "I'm not...... Deliberately asked these questions. ”

"It's okay," Dorsey smiled, "after all these years, we've seen it a long time ago, besides...... The lord is really good to us. ”

Just when the three of them fell silent and Zhang Xin was thinking about how to change the topic, a fat gray-haired rabbit suddenly flashed in front of the three of them like an arrow. Zhang Xin saw it clearly, his wrist shook slightly, and the peach pit left over in his hand seemed to have eyes, and it hit the rabbit's head. The fat rabbit rushed forward a few more steps, and fell to the ground on its stomach.

Zhang Xin hurriedly took two steps, stretched out his right hand, picked up the fat rabbit's ears and lifted him up, "Tut-tut...... I'm afraid this big fat rabbit doesn't have three or five pounds......" said and squeezed his eyes at Dorsey and Mo Si, "Dorsey, go get some firewood, Mo Si, go to the kitchen to get some salt seasoning...... Remember, sneak into the village, don't shoot guns, and then summon others over this rabbit is not enough! As he spoke, he pulled out the knife from his belt, and walked to the side of the stream and began to wash and peel the fat rabbit.

At this time, although you can eat enough in Datang, meat is still a luxury. Even Zhang Xin, who usually has sorghum rice and millet noodles, that is, he can eat a few meals of millet and white noodles in the days of the war, and now with this big fat rabbit, Zhang Xin's saliva can't stop flowing out, "God, God, you finally opened your eyes, knowing that my mouth was about to fade out of the bird, I specially sent a rabbit to fight the tooth sacrifice...... I don't say it, I thank you. ”

Dorsey and Mo Si usually eat not as much as Zhang Xin's, now listening to Zhang Xin's tone, this rabbit still has their share, I can't help but secretly rejoice in my heart, the movements in my hands are much sharper, and not long after, a bunch of withered peach branches and a jar of salt appeared in front of Zhang Xin's eyes.

Zhang Xin put the washed and peeled rabbit with peach branches, put it on the fire and began to roast, from time to time smeared a little salt into the flavor, after a while, the fat rabbit was roasted with golden light, and from time to time there were drops of grease dripping into the fire to make a "lala...... The sound of "......", a burst of barbecue aroma spread, and the greedy servants swallowed their saliva.

After a while, Zhang Xin estimated that the rabbit could be eaten, grabbed the floating soil and extinguished the fire, and tore off a hind leg, "Tear it yourself, you're welcome." Talking about it, he didn't care about the two of them, and tore the fragrant rabbit leg with a big gulp.

To tell the truth, rabbit meat is actually average, not only does it taste more chai, but it doesn't want to taste like chickens and ducks, but it can't stand the three carnivores who are suffocated alive as herbivores - Zhang Xin won't say it, this guy is greedy, Dorsey and Mo Si were originally nomads, and people's staple food is meat, but when it came to Datang, the vegetarian mouth had long faded out of the bird, and this roasted general fat rabbit had not lived for a tea time, and it became a bone in a place.

Zhang Xin patted his rabbit, it was strange to say, he had just eaten enough for a while, and he actually ate half a rabbit, and he didn't feel panicked, it was really strange......

Mo Si lay on the ground and burped, "Fifth Master, you are so powerful, there are usually a lot of rabbits in this place, and you specialize in stealing peaches here to eat." But that thing runs so fast, it usually can't be caught, and we usually blow them away, how do you know that the fifth master can hit the rabbit with a peach pit...... The fifth master is really amazing. ”

"There are a lot of rabbits in this place?" Zhang Xin's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Yes," said Dorsey, "there are rabbit nests all over this mountain, and now it is time for peaches to bear fruit, and many rabbits come down every day to plague our peaches." ”

"Hahahaha......" Zhang Xintian smiled, recently vegetarian people are about to become monks, every day corn noodles and sorghum are full of food, hungry fast, so that they have no strength to practice martial arts, but I didn't expect to find such a feng shui treasure, rabbits, you are careful, carnivore Zhang Xinlai also!
