The conditions were agreed with the Baiyue people, and the caravan and his party left Yetou Mountain with the Baiyue people on the second day.

The Baiyue people left in a hurry, because the Baiyue people suffered heavy casualties in this battle, and Liu Yu also saw their simple and simple celestial burial ceremony. For the Baiyue people, sky burial is very ordinary, but this very ordinary ceremony deeply shocked Liu Yu, who was born in a civilized society.

Before parting, all the Baiyue people watched their dead relatives and friends naked in an open field, and after a simple ritual of sacrifice, the flags were removed, and the smell of flesh and blood of these corpses would attract the attention of birds and beasts. When the living are gone, these corpses will become food for birds and beasts, and the human beings at the top of the food chain will also return to their original destination.

It was the first time that Liu Yu had seen the primitive celestial burial ceremony, and it was also the first time that the soldiers under Liu Yu had heard of such a funeral ceremony. Although these soldiers crawled out of the pile of dead people on the battlefield, on the way down the mountain, many soldiers vomited profusely. They couldn't imagine that these Baiyue people would treat the corpses of their relatives as food for wild beasts, and this kind of "cruelty" was unacceptable to them.

Liu Yu's expression was solemn, his reaction was different from those soldiers, Liu Yu had an innate tolerance in his heart, he could understand any conventional etiquette, although he might not accept it.

On the way down the mountain, Duo Lin followed Liu Yu and kept wiping her tears, because his Huangyue people were only "violently corpsed" and did not complete the ceremonies of the celestial burial, which made her feel as if she had not completed her mission to the people. In fact, Liu Yu also understood that Duo Lin's sadness was more because of the shock caused to her by this large-scale celestial burial ceremony. Dozens of people are buried in the sky at a time is already a large-scale. A battle of several hundred people. Even the Yue people are only seen in their lives.

Because the Baiyue people migrated with their families and mouths, they did not go fast, Liu Yue did not walk with the Baiyue people, but fell behind the side of the team. He Lu wants to be with the clansmen as Daqiu, and is responsible for guiding the way, Bai Yue came to contact Liu Yu with Mi Er, although the injuries on her body have not healed, but her spirit still looks good. came to convey what things and what to communicate, and she was no longer as impulsive as Liu Yu was when she first met her. After this battle, a little girl seems to have matured a lot.

"Where are you going?"

When Mier was fine, he followed Liu Yu's caravan and walked alone, and Liu Yu would also chat with her.

Mill shook his head, as if he couldn't answer.

Liu Yu originally thought that the migration of the Baiyue people might be aimless, and it counts wherever they go, but after walking with these Baiyue people for a day, he began to feel that the migration of the Baiyue people has a direction, at least a general destination. It's just that Liu Yu still doesn't know what to do. Where exactly are they going.

In the evening, the Baiyue people also began to camp and rest. And where they are. It is a very wide grassland, not even a tree can be seen, of course, Liu Yu also knows that this grassland is not all grass, there are many invisible dwarf shrubs, or thorn forests. That night, Liu Yu still arranged people to go out to investigate, the target of the Baiyue people's migration was too large, and if they were attacked, it would not be easy to protect, and Liu Yu did not want to put himself in danger.

In the evening, Liu Yu sat in front of the campfire, holding a map of Lingnan in his hand and sketching it, and he had to find his exact direction to determine the way to Yizhou. Originally, he planned to return to Meiguan in early June, but now it seems impossible, even so, Liu Yu is ready to hurry up, after all, the army can't afford to spend in Lingnan, and he, the commander, is not in the army, and he is afraid that there will be some unexpected chaos in the rear.

Duo Lin sat not far from Liu Yu, snuggling up with Mier, who had been a little silent, and the two little sisters looked very unhappy. Mi Er suddenly sang a very sad tune in Yuejia dialect, she sang a few words, and Duo Lin also followed a few words, the tune was like a funeral song, which made people feel sad to listen to, and even Liu Yu put down what she was doing and looked at the two.

When Doreen saw Liu Yu looking at her, she stopped singing, and Mier next to her covered her face and buried her head in Doreen's arms and whimpered.

Although Mill was very strong at this time, she was only a sixteen-year-old girl after all, and her innocent heart would suddenly lose her way when she encountered the cruel reality.

Liu Yu said with emotion: "If everything in Lingnan calms down, you Yue people will no longer have to suffer from war." By then, your people will be living in peace and contentment, and there will be no more migration today! ”

Mi Er raised his head when he heard the sound and asked with a slightly confused expression, "Will there be that day?" ”

Duo Lin also stared at Liu Yu with wide eyes, as if she was also inquiring.

Liu Yu gave them an encouraging smile, then licked the brush with his tongue, pretending to be very funny and smiled: "Actually, I came here for this matter." You have to believe that there will be a day, and soon, you will be like the Han people, you will have your own homeland, fertile land, cattle, sheep and livestock, you can trade freely with the Han people, your children can go to school, girls will marry and there will be a rich dowry, and the government will treat you equally, because many of those officials are your own people......

The picture described by Liu Yu is very beautiful, and Doreen and Mier are looking forward to it, as if they are looking forward to this day.

After Liu Yu finished speaking, he began to write and draw with the military map again, and Duo Lin and Mier couldn't understand what he did, so they continued to snuggle together, although they were still silent, but their faces were much better.

Soon Qu Ning came over with a few Baiyue people, Qu Ning, who was a military doctor with the army, just went to the Baiyue village to see the situation of the Baiyue people's injuries and illnesses, diagnosed their pulses, and prescribed medicine. Because of her excellent medical skills, coupled with the fact that her prescriptions are backed by the medicinal materials of the caravan, the injured and sick number in the Baiyue clan is like seeing a lucky star, and it is not until two hours later that Qu Ning returns, which shows how much the Baiyue people value her. When he came back, He Lu also found two female warriors of the Baiyue tribe to escort him, and even Liu Yu was not treated like this.

Qu Ning looked tired, and when he came back, he sat down next to Liu Yu, picked up the things roasted on the fire and wanted to eat.

"Wash your hands." Liu Yue lowered his head as if he was careless, "Don't come back with any illness." ”

Qu Ning said: "It's okay. I didn't bandage their wounds. It's just a diagnosis. ”

"Washing your hands also requires a diagnosis. Those bacteria and viruses, there are many vectors, and if you are infected and die, I will bury you in the sky, and I will bring your body or ashes back to the Central Plains. ”

Qu Ning felt a little embarrassed by Liu Yu's vicious language, but she was not surprised, Qu Ning "Phew! sounded, as if scolding Liu Yu for being open-mouthed. It also seems to make the little daughter's family angry. After the last day, she still stuffed the food directly into her mouth, and said inarticulately: "I just want to come back from the disease, see what you can do with me." ”

Liu Yu smiled faintly on his face, and Qu Ning was also a little more cheerful, wrinkling his nose like a little daughter's house, revealing an expression of "what can you do with me". After a while, she added: "Actually, I went to the river to clean before I came back, the bacteria you said...... What is a virus? ”

"Oh, good thing, I just can't tell you that I don't understand. So let's not talk about it. ”

Qu Ning snorted lightly and said, "Pretend to be mysterious." ”

Liu Yu was doing his own thing very seriously, while Qu Ning was watching from the side. Her knowledge is much higher than that of Doreen and Mier, and she knows what Liu Yu is doing. Qu Ning suddenly asked in a low voice, "Hey." Why don't you leave earlier, isn't it more important to go to Yizhou? ”

Liu Yu looked at Duo Lin and Mi Er when he heard the sound, and saw that they didn't notice this, so he sighed and replied in a low voice: "The Yue people are also the people of the Great Shun Dynasty, my people, and the people I need to protect, do you think I will leave them behind and go on the road alone?" ”

Liu Yu's words are very "noble", although they are a little high-sounding, Qu Ning also knows that Liu Yu is just talking, but she is still a little moved.

She immediately turned her face and said, "Bah, I think you're like this without Sister Doreen." Oh, and Miel...... It is rumored that His Highness is a pervert ......"

Liu Yu slept very late, and when the soldiers came back after going out to explore twice, Liu Yu put his heart to sleep. Because Liu Yue knew that the first few days of the migration of the Baiyue tribe were very dangerous, once Xu Yuanfang's people learned about it, they would definitely come to catch up.

When he woke up the next day, Liu Yu asked He Lu in detail about the migration plan of the Baiyue people. Although He Lu said that he had nothing to hide from Liu Yue, Liu Yue could see that the old fox was hiding a lot of things.

"Fu is in charge, our Yue people have a difficult life, and many things are involuntarily, and I hope you can understand."

Liu Yu understood this sentence: We have a lot of secrets, please understand.

"Nahe Luda begs not even the most basic where to go, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to continue to escort us, you must know that we are a business traveler, we have our own things to do, and we have to spy on intelligence for the army of the Shun Dynasty. I hope you can understand! ”

Liu Yu's meaning is very simple: if you don't tell the secret, then you will leave!

He Lu and Liu Yu had something to say like this, as if they were each playing their own little Jiujiu, He Lu smiled and nodded as if he understood that this was Liu Yu's threat. He sighed and said, "There are some things that cannot be said. Just like the destination this time, Fu Dangjia is going to Yizhou, but we don't go there, we actually have two directions to choose from. One is to go south, cross the sea, and live on a piece of land over there, but ...... There are too many poisonous snakes and beasts there, and we don't know if the current place is still suitable for the life of the Yue people, and I don't know if someone is the first to get there. There is another way, that is, to the southwest, close to the village of the West Miao people, now we Yue people are being oppressed by the Di Kui everywhere, only they Miao people, may give us some shelter, even if we have to reopen the mountains and wilderness, give them slaves and maids, we also admit it, who told them to give us a relatively stable life? ”

Liu Yu probably understood the situation of He Lu, which was also the situation of the Yue people. Now not only are the Baiyue and Huangyue people in trouble, but in fact all the ethnic minorities living in the north are facing the same problem, that is, their homeland is disturbed by the expanding landlords, who either migrate across the sea to Hainan Island, or go to the mountains and wilderness of western Guangxi and Yunnan, where they settle down and rely on the powerful Miao people to earn a living.

"The Miao people are also difficult to protect themselves, can they give you a stable life?" Liu Yu said in an unkind tone, "Why don't you consider returning to the imperial court?" ”

"The Imperial Court? Hmph, aren't they the same as those landlords? Even if the imperial court occupies Lingnan, it will still impose heavy taxes on us, and it will still treat our people as untreatable. Fu is in charge, I will say something unpleasant, the current court is a traitorous minister. You're going to have us give you information. OK. But please don't let that we attach to the court, we don't want to be the sinners of the Yue family! ”

He Lu's words made Liu Yue feel very uncomfortable to hear, Liu Yuxin said, what traitor is not Lao Tzu? Lao Tzu worked hard from Chang'an City to Meiguan, and then came here at any risk to help you fight for your due power, but you actually regarded Lao Tzu's kindness as harming you!

Liu Yu sighed and said: "In this case, Heluda begs you to be kind to yourself, and we will walk together for a while." Then go your separate ways! ”

Liu Yu was also angry, he didn't want to stay, anyway, Bai Yue didn't understand his kindness. He Lu was very surprised, he thought that Liu Yu would escort them all the way for those Huangyue people, and then he would absorb these people into his Baiyue village in a timely manner, but who knew that Liu Yu would leave if he didn't agree with him, and he didn't give him face at all. He Lu thought about it again, probably because this Central Plains man was ready to leave Huang Yueren on his own road, and at this time he was even more convinced that the Central Plains people could not be trusted.

Liu Yu came back. immediately told Duo Lin and Lian Husheng about it, and Liu Yu came up with an idea after the end. Let Duo Lin's Huangyue people go to Yizhou with him.

Duo Lin didn't think anything of it, in fact, she also understood one thing when she communicated with her clansmen in the past few days, those women in Huang Yue were more willing to follow these men in the caravan, because the women of Huang Yue had long regarded these men as strong, and the Bai Yue people themselves were now homeless, and they could only be concubines and cattle and horses in the past, they didn't think it was worth it.

"Brother, Doreen listens to you." Doreen said firmly.

Mi Er, who was silent on the other side, felt a little lost in her heart, although Liu Yue had the intention to avoid her talking, she still overheard what they were discussing. Yesterday, Liu Yu's statement had already made Mi Er know that this man from the middle plain actually came to help them with the Yue people, but she didn't know why her father always didn't believe in these Han people, even if this Han people didn't harm the Yue people, they were still helping the Yue people everywhere.

"Master Fu, can you not leave yet, I'll ......" Mi Er came over and said to Liu Yu, "Go back and talk to Abba, Abba will change his original intention......"

Liu Yu sighed: "Little girl, there are some things that can't be forced, you should understand." Your father will not cooperate with us Han people, that is the position of your Baiyue people, and your position will not be shaken easily. ”

Mier obviously didn't believe what Liu Yu said, but she still firmly went back to her father to negotiate. Liu Yu didn't know where she got such trust in him, originally Liu Yu thought that this little girl should be very blind to him.

Because the direction of the Baiyue people's temporary march is still in the direction of Yizhou in the southwest, Liu Yu has not parted ways with the Baiyue people for the time being. And Mi Er said that he was going to talk to his father, so he didn't see her figure for two days, and Liu Yue didn't bother to communicate with Bai Yue people again, but Liu Yue strengthened his vigilance against Bai Yue people, and Liu Yue had to prevent Bai Yue people from snatching their weapons.

In the next two days, Liu Yu also gradually distanced the caravan and the Huangyue people's team from the Baiyue people's migration team.

The night of the third day of the sixth month was also the day when Liu Yu decided to officially part ways with Bai Yueren the next day. Because further along, there will be two forks in the road, one is a flat road in the direction of Yizhou, and the other mountain road that cannot be called a road is a gathering place for ethnic minorities in the southwest. Liu Yue is going to Yizhou, obviously he will not turn south, because Liu Yu has no intention of becoming an indigenous.

That night, Liu Yu specially divided a batch of medicinal materials, and prepared to let people send them to the Baiyue people, as a gift from the Baiyue people, anyway, it has nothing to do with him where the Baiyue people want to devote themselves in the future, but he believes that one day the Baiyue people will still become the people of the Dashun Dynasty, because they will feel the sincerity of the new court to the ethnic minorities in the south.

Liu Yu arranged things, and Duo Lin came out of the dark shadows, standing by the bonfire and looking at Liu Yu and Qu Ning who were sitting together.

Qu Ning saw that Duo Lin didn't dare to come over and hesitate and was uneasy, so he left with a very interesting excuse, and when Qu Ning left, Duo Lin walked over with a very small step, with a very guilty look on her face.

"Sister, what's wrong?" Liu Yu asked a little puzzled.

Liu Yu stretched out his hand to hug Dolin in his arms, but Dolin refused to lower her body, just stood there, fiddling with the corners of her clothes with guilt.

"Brother...... Does my sister dislike Doreen? Doreen asked in a low voice.

Liu Yu realized that this little girl was for Qu Ning, in fact, Liu Yue wanted to tell Qu Ning that she was not her future boudoir sister, but an "irrelevant passer-by", but it was difficult to make it clear, because after all, this was on the road, and if you want to say it, you have to wait until you go back. Just like Liu Yu won't tell Duo Lin his true identity at this time.

"How come, your sister has something to do, and she told me today that you are a good girl, and said that she will treat you well in the future."

"Really?" There was a little joy on Duo Lin's face, Liu Yu stretched out her hand again at this time, and she threw herself into Liu Yu's arms with a shy face, and the enthusiasm made Liu Yu a little overwhelmed.

The girl of the Yue family is as enthusiastic as fire, dare to love and hate, and Liu Yu can be regarded as a leader today.

Duo Lin leaned in Liu Yu's arms for a while, and then whispered, "Brother, can Duo Lin go to you today?" ”

Liu Yu smiled at the moment, and said in his heart that he was afraid that you would not come. In fact, since being aroused by Duo Lin in his heart, Liu Yu has been preparing to do this little girl in the past few days, but unfortunately because of Bai Yueren and her two sisters, as well as the light bulb-like Mier, the two have never had the opportunity to be alone at night. Today is also a good opportunity.

Liu Yu smiled: "Come if you want." ”

Doreen was very happy, and her whole face was flushed like a ripe apple. Originally, Liu Yu thought that Duo Lin was emotional, and she didn't have to wait until late at night for her to drill the tent to get things done, but who knew that Duo Lin suddenly seemed to remember a very important thing, and turned her head to look at Liu Yu.

"What's wrong?"

"Brother, there's one more thing ......" Duo Lin suddenly showed a somewhat confused and uneasy look on her face, "Mier told me, I hope Brother won't abandon them Baiyue people, if Brother can stay, she ...... I am willing to be my brother's foal like Doreen, and serve my brother with Dorene......"

Liu Yu first showed a strange look on his face, and then frowned.

If Mi Er came to dedicate himself, Liu Yue could not bear it, and with his current status, it didn't matter if there was one more woman or one less woman. But if Mi Er wants to treat this matter as an exchange and her body as a tool for exchanging interests, then Liu Yu will be very unhappy. Liu Yue wants women, and there are tens of millions of women for him to choose from, why would he want a little girl from a southern minority who is ignorant of the world, and he still has to offer him an almost fantastical quid pro quo to stay?

"Sister, you go and tell Miel. Brother wants to leave, no one can stop him, Brother will take Dorene, who really wants to be Brother's foal, but he will not ask for a Miel who sacrifices himself in exchange for conditions. Doreen's heart is Brother's, but Mill is not. (To be continued......)
