Chapter 152 The Lu Clan

PS: The May Day holiday is coming, I wish you all a good holiday!

When he learned that Wen Ping and Yang Er really came from the land of Shenzhou, the look on Lu Ming's face was first happy, and then when he heard Wen Ping ask where he was looking at the others, Lu Ming's original face full of joy was instantly filled with a bitter smile.

After Wen Ping finished asking, he had been observing Lu Ming's actions, and when he saw his suddenly changed face, he thought thoughtfully.

Now Wen Ping can be sure of this: even if this old man is not from the land of China, his father, or even his ancestors, must be! Otherwise, he wouldn't have understood Huaxia Tongyu, and he would be so excited to see the two of them.

As for why they arrived here, when they arrived, how many people arrived, and whether there were any other people from the land of Shenzhou who were surviving in Yizhou, these things, Wen Ping did not know.

After being silent for a moment, Lu Ming saw that Wen Ping was just looking at him squarely, and did not continue to ask, and he couldn't help but yearn for the place described in the classic book again!

Lu Ming first let the women and children gathered around disperse, and then invited the two of them: "The two generals have come from afar, but this place is not a place to talk about things, it is better for the two of them to sit in the cold house, and the little old man will definitely solve the doubts in his heart for the two generals." ”

Hearing Lu Ming say this, Wen Ping naturally would not refuse. After all, Lu Ming is a rare figure now, who knows if he is missed, will there be anyone like him who can speak Huaxia Tong on this Yizhou Island? And looking at the way he looked just now, his status in this tribe is obviously very high. Anyway, you can't go wrong with him!

Under the leadership of Lu Ming, Wen Ping and Yang Er walked into this thatched house, which seemed to be quite small from the outside. After entering the thatched house, the two of them were also stupid by the situation in the house. Is this like a place where a person of high status should live?

At this time, the only thing in the room except for the polished wood under the feet was supported as the floor, and it was a bed. Belch.. At least it was suspected that it was a bed, and they were not too sure about it, after all, the bed was just a random patchwork of stone and wood, covered with hay and leaves, and not even a single futon, if this was also a bed.

"The humble house is shabby, I hope the two generals don't want to laugh, please sit!" After entering the thatched house, Lu Ming first invited the two of them, and then sat on the smooth wood like this in the stunned eyes of Wen Ping and Yang Er.

Could this be the place to talk? No matter how you look at it, it's not much better than standing outside, right? And at least outside, you need to stand, but you don't have to sit on those smooth logs...

However, when he saw Lu Ming sitting down like this, Wen Ping actually sat down with him, and Yang Er couldn't stand all the time, and while muttering secretly in his heart, he could only sit with the flow.

"Little Lao'er, Lu Ming, is the patriarch of this tribe! First of all, thank the two generals for saving the child on the pillar and not letting the leopard eat him. It's a pity that the child's father... Alas! Seeing that the two of them sat down, Lu Ming opened his mouth with emotion, and thanked Wen Ping and Yang Er.

Lu Ming learned from her what the little boy, that is, the pillar, said from the healthy woman when he came to find him.

In Lu Ming's opinion, a general like this who can tear apart tigers and leopards must be owned by any prince, so he doesn't dare to offend, and in terms of his attitude towards Wen Ping and Yang Er, he also does a good job of the etiquette learned from the classics.

Hearing Lu Ming say it, Yang Er finally confirmed the guess in his heart before, the dead man was indeed Zhuzi's relative, and he was also his father.

I just don't know what happened to the pillar now? Thinking back to the time when he and Lu Ming came here just now, the pillar was pulled by that woman, and the eyes when he looked at him, Yang Er couldn't help but think a little distracted.

After Wen Ping learned that Lu Ming was the patriarch, he was also happy in his heart. Originally, he wanted the party Yang Er to answer Lu Ming's words, but he didn't expect him to be in a daze again, glanced at it angrily, and Wen Ping bowed his hand and saluted back: "Patriarch Lu doesn't have to be polite, this is a gesture." When I first arrived in this Yizhou, I didn't know the situation here, and I hope the patriarch will solve my doubts! ”

"Do you call it Yizhou?" Hearing Wen Ping say that this island is called Yizhou, Lu Ming was also slightly stunned, because this was not mentioned in the classics.

"Uhhhh This is the name of my father-in-law, and this is the first time I have heard of it here! As for Lu Ming's question, Wen Ping obviously couldn't answer it, after all, let alone the name of the place, even the location of this place was told by Sun Ling, and he came out with the Lang Evil Water Master.

Lord? It should be the meaning of the lord, it seems that I guessed wrong, these two people are indeed from the subordinates of a certain prince, and they are here to do business. After Lu Ming finished speaking, he didn't think much about why it was called Yizhou, but affirmed his previous guess in his heart.

Thinking of this, Lu Ming arched his hand again and said: "According to the records left by the ancestors, since the Lu clan came to this island, our tribe has not seen outsiders for hundreds of years, dare to ask the two generals, which country is the general of the princes, and what is the purpose of coming here?" ”

Hundreds of years? Which country? Hearing these two words, not only did Wen Ping's face become a little shocked, but even Yang Er, who was in a daze, was awakened and looked at Lu Ming incredulously.

"Patriarch Lu, can you tell me when your ancestors came here?" Wen Ping swallowed the spit in his mouth because he was a little nervous, looked at Lu Ming and asked very seriously.

Wen Ping thought that Lu Ming's ancestors might have come here during the heyday of the Han Dynasty or even the Qin Dynasty. But now, according to Lu Ming, it is very likely that before the unification of the Qin State, Lu Ming's ancestors came here.

What does this mean? It shows that as early as hundreds of years ago, this Yizhou has been discovered! It's just that in the past few hundred years, no one has cared. In Wenpin's view, the scale of this Yizhou Island should not be smaller than Xuzhou. It is precisely because of this that Wen Ping is surprised that no one has cared about an island of this size for hundreds of years?

Although I don't know why Wen Ping asked like this, but now, and hundreds of years have passed, Lu Ming feels that there is nothing to say, and after thinking about it, he said: "The ancestor is a native of Chu, at that time, because of the mutual conquest of various countries, the ancestor did not want the Lu clan to suffer disaster, so he thought of letting people go to sea to find a place to avoid military disasters, and then found this place. ”

Really! After getting Lu Ming's confirmation, Wen Ping couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart. If Sun Ling hadn't asked them to come to this so-called Yizhou, as the first stop for the Lang Evil Water Master to go to sea, who would have thought that as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were already people from the Chu State who crossed the sea and brought their clansmen here?

At the same time, Wen Ping was also very puzzled in his heart, since Lu Ming's ancestors brought their clansmen here hundreds of years ago, why did the pillars, including those women and children outside just now, not speak Huaxia Tongyu, but all spoke languages that he couldn't understand.

And except for Lu Ming, Wen Ping has not seen any adult men in this clan, if the father of the pillar who has died in the mouth of the clouded leopard is also counted, it is two. It's just that these tribes of nearly 1,000 people only have two adult men? Surely it is impossible!

Thinking of this, Wen Ping looked at Lu Ming and asked, "Patriarch Lu, since your ancestors came here hundreds of years ago, why don't the people on this island speak Huaxia Tongyu?" And apart from the Lu patriarch, I haven't seen any other adult men in this Lu clan, why is this? ”

Under Wen Ping's puzzled gaze, Lu Ming made a reminiscence, and then let out a long sigh and said, "The ancestor also wanted to use this Yizhou Island to let my Lu clan pass on it here. But who would have thought that there would be natives here? Because the ship was destroyed by those people, in the face of those local residents with strong folk customs, the ancestors could only take the clan to integrate into the lives of those local residents in order to ensure the continuous inheritance of the Lu family.

Now hundreds of years have passed, the people of my Lu clan speak the dialect of this island, if it were not for our descendants to follow the ancestral teachings, every Lu clan patriarch must learn the language and Huaxia under the teaching of the previous patriarch, even if he meets two generals, Xiao Lao'er is afraid that it will be difficult to communicate. As for the men in the clan, they all go out to hunt at this time, and they will return before the unitary time. ”

Hearing Lu Ming say this, Wen Ping finally solved the doubts in his heart. It seems that he only brought out the elite of 5,000 people at that time, and it was right that he did not pour out of the nest. Otherwise, if the ship was destroyed like Lu Ming's ancestor, even if he could clean up all those local residents, he would not want to go back in this life.

The doubts were solved, and the conversation that followed went much smoother. When Wen Ping told Lu Ming the purpose of his and others' coming, and wanted him to help him and others find those local residents, and promised that if he wanted to go back, he could send them back to the land of Shenzhou, Lu Ming was also so excited that he burst into tears and expressed his willingness to help.

"Beep..." Just as the two were talking happily, a sharp sound came from outside.

"Oh no, those people are here again!"

After saying this, Lu Ming didn't care about explaining to Wen Ping and Yang Er, hurriedly got up, and ran out in the direction of the lake.

"Looks like we don't need to come to the door!" Yang Er looked in the direction of the lake, seemed to feel something, and looked at Wen Ping with a smile.

Wen Ping was also confused when he saw Lu Ming leaving in a hurry. After hearing Yang Er's words, he came to his senses and got up and chased after Lu Ming, who was slow.

Because Lu Ming seemed to be in a hurry, Wen Ping and Yang Er had just rushed to his side, and they were not polite to him, and sandwiched him from left to right, so that the elderly Lu Ming could re-experience the "walking like flying" when he was young.

By the lake, when Wen Ping and Yang Er brought Lu Ming here, it was surrounded by dozens of strong men with various colors on their faces and strange appearances, and those women and children were hugging each other at this time, holding bone spears in the middle to confront these strong men.

When these strong men saw the three of them coming, they first stared strangely at Wen Ping and Yang Er in armor, and then walked out of it a strong man with a smooth head and no hair, and said something to Lu Ming.

I don't know what the strong man said, under the gaze of Wen Ping and Yang Er, Lu Ming's face was flushed at this time, and he seemed to be angry.

"Patriarch Lu, what did that man say?" Because of the language barrier, Wen Ping could only ask Lu Ming for advice.

"These beasts, last time they just asked for ten women, this time they actually asked our clan to hand over fifty women, otherwise they will have to start a war against my Lu clan!" Lu Ming seemed to have gritted his teeth and said these words.

"Patriarch Lu! Can I kill them?! Just when Wen Ping wanted to speak out, Yang Er asked in a cold tone.

Although he was asking Lu Ming, in Wen Ping's opinion, Yang Er at this time didn't look like he was asking someone. Because after saying these words, Yang Er had already pulled out the long knife in the scabbard and walked towards the field with a murderous aura.

As for why Yang Er suddenly went berserk, Wen Ping was also puzzled. It wasn't until he set his eyes on the women and children who were surrounded that he knew the reason why Yang Er was furious.

In the middle of the field, several strong men had already grabbed a woman. Wen Ping remembered the woman, she was the same woman who had taken the pillar just now. And the pillar was holding a bone spear in his hand at this time, as if he wanted to stop these strong men, but how could a small child compete with those strong men? As a result, the pillar is now being kicked to the ground by those strong men!

Seeing this scene, Wen Ping's heart was already silently mourning for those strong men.
