Chapter 251: Gu Tianjie
For Zhao Yan's request to visit his father, the bone table was very excited, and the little head was like a chicken eating rice, and when Zhao Yan and Yelusi had just finished eating the wild fruits for breakfast, she had already cleaned Zhao Yan's room, and then trotted in front of Zhao Yan, looking at him with a pair of smart big eyes full of expectation.
"Bone, you lead the way, we're going to visit your father now!" Seeing the appearance of the bones, Zhao Yan couldn't help laughing and laughing, in fact, he was also very curious, why did the bones from the Liao Kingdom have such a good impression of himself, the county king of the Great Song Dynasty?
Hearing Zhao Yan's words, the bones immediately nodded heavily, and then jumped forward to lead the way, Zhao Yan wanted to ask Su Shi to go with him, but it may have been overworked yesterday, and Su Shi hadn't gotten up at this time, so Zhao Yan didn't call the other party.
At this time, it was already three poles in the sun, and the entire Wanyan Department had already begun to be busy before dawn, the women were preparing breakfast, feeding the pigs, and picking wild fruits, while the men went out hunting together, and even the leader of the impeachment bowl was no exception, and he left early with a few brothers with bows and arrows, of course, these were all Zhao Yan heard from the bones, and the entire Wanyan Department except for those little cubs who were sucking, only Zhao Yan and the three of them got up the latest.
It is precisely because the adults have all gone out to work, so there are only some children left in the entire tribe, and the oldest is only five or six years old.
"Hey, why haven't you seen the old man in the whole tribe?" Then Jeruth suddenly spoke. At the same time, he turned his head and looked carefully to the left and right, but the whole tribe saw only those children, and there were no old people who should be common, which was a little too strange.
Zhao Yan also looked around when he heard this, and the result was indeed as Yelusi said, there was not a single old man around, and then thinking back to the situation when they came to Wanyan yesterday, it seemed that they didn't see the old man, at most there were some middle-aged people in their thirties, but they didn't see any older people.
This strange place appeared. Zhao Yan and Yelusi both looked at the bones in front of them together. The bones actually heard Zhao Yan's words. However, he didn't know how to answer, and now that he saw that both of them were looking at him, he had to hesitate for a moment and finally spoke: "The conditions in the tribe are difficult, and few people can live to be forty years old. Of course, there are some individuals who can live longer. Last year, for example, there were more than a dozen elderly people in the tribe. But because of the heavy snow last winter, the tribe did not have enough food, so those old people took the initiative to go into the mountains. This will also reduce the consumption of some food. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Yan and Yelusi were all silent, the living conditions of Wanyan were difficult, which made the life expectancy of the people in the tribe very short, but they didn't expect that just a snow disaster would make the old people in the entire tribe go into the mountains to seek death, in order to be able to save some food for the tribesmen, although Zhao Yan did not have any good feelings towards the Jurchens, but he still felt a little shocked when he heard this.
Before Zhao Yan and the others could recover from their shock, they listened to the bones and continued: "Originally, the people in the tribe, including the leader and several of his brothers, decided to drive my father out of the tribe as well, because he was sick in bed and couldn't work, and the tribe couldn't raise an idler, but fortunately, the leader's wife was lazy to help us intercede, and finally the leader agreed to give us only one person's food, and then let my father stay, fortunately, the snow disaster didn't last long, otherwise my father and I would probably have starved to death." ”
Although Bones only used a few words to describe their life in that snow disaster, Zhao Yan and Yelusi both felt a little moved, after all, the other party was just a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, not only had to take care of her father who was paralyzed in bed, but also endured the pain of freezing and starvation, God knows how she survived that snow disaster?
"Bone, after I discuss things with the impeachment bowl this time, will you and your father go back to the Great Song Dynasty with me?" Zhao Yan pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked, he felt that it was his responsibility to bring the bones of their father and daughter back to the civilized society, instead of staying in this barbaric world and struggling.
"Really? Can the king of the county really take us back to the Great Song Dynasty? Bones' eyes lit up when she heard Zhao Yan's words, and she immediately said in surprise, but then she seemed to think of something again, and said in distress at the moment, "I'm afraid this won't work, the leader said that he would marry me to his nephew, so he will definitely not let me and my father leave." ”
Seeing the distressed look of the bones, Zhao Yan laughed and said: "You don't have to worry about this, Wanyan is asking our Great Song this time, as long as the final negotiation is successful, I will ask for someone from the impeachment of Libo, and he will definitely agree." ”
"Thank you, King Jun!" Bones heard Zhao Yan say this, and almost jumped up with joy at the moment, she has been living in Wanyan since she was sensible, and she can only know some of the outside situations from her father's mouth, among which the most what makes her yearn for is the prosperity of those cities in Liao and the Great Song Dynasty, I really want to see it with my own eyes, and now I finally have a chance.
The bones took Zhao Yan and they turned around in the station of Wanyan Department, and finally came to a dilapidated tent in the westernmost place, only to see a small flatbed truck in front of this tent, although a sickly face, but a very clean middle-aged man was lying on the car basking in the sun, when he heard Zhao Yan's footsteps, the middle-aged man finally opened his eyes, only to see him raise his head and look at Zhao Yan with difficulty, and then tried his best to sit up, but he used several times in a row, but he was too weak to succeed.
Seeing this, Bones immediately trotted behind the middle-aged man, and then helped him up with his thin little shoulders, only to see the middle-aged man salute Zhao Yan as much as he could: "Grass people Gu Tianjie, meet His Royal Highness the King of the County!" ”
"Huh?" Zhao Yan saw that although this middle-aged man named Gu Tianjie was sick and weak, his words and deeds were very elegant, which made him a little surprised, "You are a scholar?" ”
"Hehe, I don't dare to be a scholar, but I did read a few books when I was young, but unfortunately I was not tolerated by the township, and in the end I had to live in this northern wilderness, just stealing my life!" Gu Tianjie said indifferently at this time, although his experience was very miserable, he showed an understatement, as if he was talking about someone else's business.
Hearing Gu Tianjie's words, Zhao Yan looked at the other party seriously, and then showed a smile and said: "Isn't Mr. Gu from Liao, why did he end up in Wanyan, I don't know if I can sue Xiao Wang?" ”
"King Jun, my father hasn't eaten yet, so can you let me serve my father and talk after eating?" Before Gu Tianjie could speak, Bones preemptively said, she went to Zhao Yan to boil water and cook early this morning, and she didn't have time to take care of her father, and now Gu Tianjie is estimated to be hungry.
"Haha, the world is the biggest eater, I didn't expect Mr. Gu to have eaten yet, his bones are full of filial piety, and this king is naturally very supportive." Zhao Yan laughed loudly when he heard this, and at the same time, he was even more puzzled in his heart, since Gu Tianjie was a scholar, why did he give his daughter such a strange name.
Perhaps seeing the doubts in Zhao Yan's heart, Gu Tianjie explained with a helpless wry smile: "The real name of the bone is Gu Xiu, but the Jurchen people here are not accurate in pronunciation, they all call her bone, plus the bone likes to gnaw meat and bones the most, so there is the name bone." ”
Zhao Yan and Yelusi understood the origin of the name Bone, and they also showed a clear look at the moment, but Bone didn't care about what Zhao Yan and them talked about themselves, but began to cook on the fire next to the tent, in which the fat meat that Zhao Yan and Yelusi gave her was cut into small slices by her, and then put it in a pot to cook, and when it boiled, all the meat slices were put in a coarse porcelain bowl, and then fed Gu Tianjie with a spoon bite by bite.
Zhao Yan felt that Gu Tianjie had been sick and weak for a long time, and it was not a good thing to eat these fat meat that was too greasy, so he just wanted to say something to stop it, but he saw Gu Tianjie secretly waved his hand at him, signaling that he didn't need to stop it, which made Zhao Yan also stunned, and finally failed to speak.
After Gu Tianjie finished breakfast, Bones took some dried herbs from the tent, and then Gu Tianjie put them in his mouth and chewed them slowly, until then Bones poured the remaining broth from the pot into the bowl, and then drank it in one gulp.
Gu Tianjie chewed the herbs in his mouth, but his eyes looked at his daughter with great pity, and only after a moment did he say to Zhao Yan: "His Royal Highness, with your identity, you actually came to Wanyan in person, there must be some purpose, right?" ”
Zhao Yan originally wanted to ask how Gu Tianjie came to Wanyanbu, but now when he heard the other party ask about himself, he smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, I didn't want to come to Wanyanbu, but by chance, I came here in desperation." ”
Zhao Yan said, he participated in Yelu Hongji's birthday banquet, and then encountered Yelu Chongyuan's rebellion, and he escaped in a hot air balloon, of course, for Gu Tianjie, a strange Han man, Zhao Yan could not tell the other party the truth, for example, in the matter of supporting Wanyanbu, Zhao Yan once again emphasized that he and Po Thorn Shu had already discussed in the palace, and Da Song did intend to support Wanyanbu.
I saw that after listening to Zhao Yan's words, Gu Tianjie pondered for a moment and suddenly showed a clear smile and said: "It seems that the county king doesn't believe in the grass people, otherwise he wouldn't have used these lies to deal with it?" ”
Hearing Gu Tianjie's words, Zhao Yan was shocked, looking at the other party's appearance as if he knew something, but in the end, he still smiled and said: "What does Mr. Gu's words mean, why can't this king understand?" (To be continued!)
