Chapter 148: Polyandry
Leng Yi had actually heard the sound of the bowstring and heard the whistling sound of the arrows that were coming from him, but he knew that if he dodged at this time, it was likely that the arrow would shoot through the controlled Tubo people behind him, and now he didn't know who they were, whether they were thieves or not, and he couldn't rashly let people be shot to death, so he heard that the arrow was coming in the direction of his upper body, so he just turned his head to avoid his head, but did not let go of his upper body, and the arrow hit him in the back of the heart.
Leng Yi's body was shocked, although he was protected by a steel bulletproof vest, but the huge impact still shocked his body, and he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, grabbed the man and turned around, and saw the person who shot the arrow at him, it was the man who came with the girl in front of him. The man was riding a horse, and he was still more than a hundred paces away. He couldn't help but be horrified when he saw that Leng Yi's arrow didn't fall, and the arrow couldn't enter Leng Yi's body and fell on the grass.
He reacted quickly, and immediately pulled out another arrow to aim at Leng Yi, yes, Leng Yi had already blocked the captured person in front of him, and others didn't dare to release the arrow, but they just said a lot of words that Leng Yi didn't understand.
At this time, Jiazhen also ran over and talked to the man in Tibetan, and the woman who was held hostage also came back, talking to Jiazhen, and kept looking at Leng Yi. The man who was controlled by Leng Yi also kept shouting something.
After Jiazhen spoke to the man with the bow and arrow, the man put down the arrow.
Jiazhen said to Leng Yi: "I told them, we are passing merchants, and we came out when we heard someone shouting for help." Not a bad guy. They say they're not bad either, they're robbing wives who rightfully belong to them. ”
Leng Yi couldn't understand and asked, "What belongs to their wife?" ”
Jiazhen asked the three people carefully, and then smiled embarrassedly and said, "Marriage robbery is the custom of the Missan tribe. The two men are two brothers, named Rob, the elder brother is called Big Rob, and the younger brother is called Little Rob. This woman's name is Ram, which means like a fairy. ”
Leng Yi turned his head to look at the woman beside him, and he really looked a little good. But it's still not a fairy.
Ram kept looking at Leng Yi intently, and when Leng Yi turned her head to look at her, she didn't shy away like a Han woman, but smiled at him. The eyes are bright.
Jiazhen continued: "The Rob brothers said that they fell in love with this woman earlier than others and were ready to snatch her back as a wife, but they were first snatched away by the three Bazaar brothers on the other side. They have been looking for an opportunity to snatch her back, but Rob's family of three watched her very closely, and today they finally found an opportunity, and the two of them robbed Ram, but they didn't expect to be stopped by you. ”
Marriage robbery? Leng Yi really couldn't cry or laugh, he couldn't imagine that he crossed the Great Song Dynasty and came to the Tubo realm, and he actually encountered a marriage robbery. It is no wonder that in the whole of Tibet, except for a few areas that are relatively developed, the rest of the vast and vast areas are still at the end of the primitive society, such as the Missan tribe, coupled with the sparsely populated population and fewer female surnames, it is normal for there to be marriage robbery.
Leng Yi let go of Da Rob, turned around and asked Ram, "Shall we send you back to your house?" ”
Jia Zhen translated.
(If there is no special explanation below, Leng Yi's conversations with the local people in Tubo were all translated by Jiazhen, and in order to avoid repetition, I will not repeat them, and I hereby explain.) Ram smiled, her snow-white teeth as dazzling as Jiazhen's.
Ram said: "Thank you big brother for sending me back, but if you send me back today, they will snatch me away tomorrow." ”
Leng Yi frowned, looked at the two Luo Bu brothers, and said, "Can't you find another woman?" She's married! It's someone else's wife. ”
Jiazhen ate and smiled: "Brother Leng, Misang marries a woman here, not like you Great Song people who want to worship heaven and earth, what kind of matchmaker do you want, and the woman you like will be snatched away directly." It doesn't matter anything else. Of course, it was originally your woman, and others took a fancy to it, so they could snatch it away. There is no question of whose wife it is. ”
Leng Yi said: "You mean, the two brothers will snatch Ram away in the future?" ”
"Yes."
"Isn't that endless?"
Ram on the side saw that Leng Yi was worried about her, Fang Xinle blossomed, and he actually reached out to hold his arm, and said with a smile: "Thank you for the eldest brother of the Han family for caring about me, this matter, in fact, I told them before, this piece is just an adult woman for me, anyway, I am already the common wife of the three Bazaar brothers, and I don't care about the two Dorob brothers, and the two families will live together in the future!" Brother Han, you say, is my idea good? ”
Leng Yi smiled bitterly, he had heard of polyandry and polywife, but he didn't expect it, but he saw it in front of him. Moreover, not only is it polyandry, but also two families and five men have one wife, Leng Yi can't imagine how to live this day. Looking at Ram with wide eyes, he didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Next to the big Rob said: "I said last time, this is okay, but the three brothers in the bazaar just don't agree, especially the little bazaar, saying that the three brothers have a wife and have already had a conflict and fight, if the two families share a wife, then they can't kill people?" So the matter was not negotiated. ”
The younger brother Xiao Rob said: "That is, if they propose that the two families share wives, our family will give them ten sheep every year, and we also agreed to this, but they later repented, and we had to rob people." Han brother, you help to speak fairly! He knew that Leng Yi's martial arts were strong, and he was even invulnerable, if there was such a powerful person to help support him, the matter of co-wife might be successful. So it was proposed that Leng Yi come forward to help persuade the three Bazaar brothers.
Ram immediately happily agreed: "Yes, big brother of the Han family, you can help us!" Otherwise, they will definitely kill each other! Our house is on the edge of the river valley far above, you can also come to our house to sit, it is dark, there are wolves on the grassland, it is not safe, it is safe to live in our tent! Good no good? After that, Leng Yi's arms were tightened even tighter.
Leng Yi glanced at Jiazhen, Jiazhen looked at him with a smile, and nodded when he heard this.
Leng Yi had no choice but to say, "Okay then." ”
Ram was overjoyed and asked, "Do you have horses?" ”
"Yes, in the woods."
"Alright, let's go lead the horse!" Holding Leng Yi's arm, like a pair of intimate lovers, he entered the grove.
Jiazhen ran ahead and helped put the saddle on the horse's back. Ram said to Leng Yi: "Brother Han, I'll ride a horse with you, okay?" ”
Leng Yi wanted to refuse, but other girls were so generous, and if he dodged and dodged, he would hurt the hearts of other girls. He nodded.
"Great, you go first, I'll sit behind you!"
Leng Yi got on the horse, Ram turned over and got on the horse, sat behind him, put one hand around his waist, took the reins with the other, and said, "I'm coming!" I only know the way! With his feet between his feet, the horse roared out of the woods.
Outside the grove, when Brother Rob saw this scene, his face couldn't help but lose color, and Little Rob forced a smile: "Ram, can you sit on my horse?" It's better to let the eldest brother of the Han family ride a horse alone, after all, people are guests. ”
Ram shook his head and said, "It's okay, he doesn't know the way, I'll lead the way, you follow, go to the Bazaar's house to discuss things!" Drive! With a shout, he rode his horse and galloped forward.
Jiazhen then followed, walking alongside them, speaking to them and translating. The Rob brothers had no choice but to follow with a gloomy face.
Ram's horseback riding skills are very good, and on the undulating slopes, it is almost like walking on the ground.
Ram asked, "Brother Han, have you ever been to our Missan before?" ”
"No,—— my surname is Leng, you can call me Brother Leng."
Ram shook his head and said, "Your Han names are too weird for me to remember." It's better to call you the big brother of the Han family! - By the way, big brother of the Han family, do you have a wife? Do you want me to be your wife? ”
Leng Yi listened to Jiazhen's translation, and was so shocked that he almost fell off the horse, thinking that this Missan girl is too fierce, and when she sees the man she likes, she wants to be his wife?
He didn't know that the era of marriage robbery was like this, the woman that a man fancied could be snatched away, and the man that a woman fancied could also follow others, of course, it was also common to carry it on his back overnight, so although Leng Yi couldn't understand it, it was normal for Ram and her Missan women.
Leng Yi hurriedly said: "I have a wife, thank you for your kindness." ”
"It's okay!" Ram didn't have an embarrassed expression at all, but tightened Leng Yilou. Leng Yi felt that the two flames in Ram's chest were beating and burning, and hurriedly attached himself to it, so that he could leave a little. Unexpectedly, Ram also leaned on his back, and this time, it was tighter.
Fortunately, it was not far away, and Ram said, "It's just ahead, it's here!" ”
Leng Yi looked up, and sure enough, under the afterglow of the sky, on the edge of the turbulent river, there was a tent made of black cow felt. There are a lot of sheep scattered on the surrounding meadows.
Ram did not stop, but galloped over the tent and ran along the valley, saying, "That is the tent of the two brothers of Rob the Younger, and the three Bazaar brothers, on the other side of the river!" You have to cross a bridge from above. ”
Leng Yi looked at the other side of the river, and sure enough, on the other side of the turbulent river more than 100 steps wide, there was also a tent of black cow felt.
They ran along the valley for about a cup of tea, and at last they saw a wooden bridge, crossed it, and ran down the valley until they reached the tent of the Bazar on the other side of the tent of Rob and his brothers, and then they reined in their horses.
Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, the three Bazaar brothers had already left the tent, stood there with their hands on the pergola and watched, and when they saw Ram getting off Leng Yi's horse, they all turned their faces dark, and they came up to surround Leng Yi, and the first black-faced strong man said angrily: "You want to snatch our wife away?" ”
Without waiting for Jiazhen to explain, the black-faced strong man had already punched Leng Yi in the chest!
