Chapter 405: A Banquet of a Thousand People

Xian Enzhuo's eyes were uneasy, but Wei Feng could roughly guess Xian Jin's thoughts, it was impossible to say that he had evil intentions, firstly, there was no resentment or hatred, not to mention that he also saved his second son, and secondly, his killing was not only not good for him, but would lead to crazy revenge.

Most of the washing strength is to consider their own sincerity, and the standard of sincerity is whether you have the courage to go, in fact, to this day, some ethnic minorities in the south are still very simple, think that you are bold, courageous, and a man, they will treat you as a close friend!

Wei Feng just had a flash of thought, and then laughed and said: "Okay, since your father has an invitation, then tomorrow Japan will go with you, I heard that the slang village is a cave opened up on the mountain, and I am very curious, hahahaha~~"

"General," Wang Daolian was still waiting to be persuaded, Wei Feng had already waved his hand and said: "I am a brother and sister to Enzhuo, and I treat each other with all sincerity, how can he harm me?" Don't persuade you. ”

The dozen or so slang who came with Xian Enzhuo all showed admiration, and Xi Enzhuo also gave a deep salute gratefully: "The general is arrogant, Enzhuo is very fortunate to be able to follow the Ming Lord, and please rest assured that the general and the two girls will not have any mistakes in this trip!" ”

Wei Feng smiled slightly: "Xian Enzhuo, I know that your father has no malicious intentions, come, follow me into the city first, there are more than 300 of your clansmen in the city, you meet them, tomorrow morning, let's set off immediately!" ”

"Yes!" Xian Enzhuo completely put himself in the position of his subordinates, and after the salute, he followed Wei Feng into the mountain city.

The mountain city was built on the mountain, Xian Enzhuo was led by Wei Feng to visit around, and the original Li family mountain city and the Xian family had an undying enmity. But today, it has been transformed into Yangxi County, and the Li family was razed by Wei Feng for the crime of rebellion, from the babbling toddler to the sixty or seventy-year-old white-bearded old man, a total of thousands of people were executed, which made Xian Enzhuo sigh with emotion.

In fact, Wei Feng didn't stay with him for too long, because Wei Che was still in office, and there were many government affairs that had to be handled personally, although they were all trivial matters. But it's very cumbersome.

In the evening of the same day. Wei Feng set up a banquet to entertain Xian Enzhuo and his party, and the next morning, he took 100 people each from the guards and the dominatrix, prepared more than 10 carts of gifts, and more than 300 slang people and Xian Enzhuo went towards the Yunkai Mountain. Although it is only a few tens of miles away. But the truth is muddy and slippery. It wasn't until near evening that I arrived at Xian's slang village.

From the time of the slang village to the time before and after liberation, there is a common name called Goulang Village. Although hundreds of people have gathered near the gate of the wall, including men and women, all dressed in costumes, among which about 200 young men and women carry a copper drum every two, but Wei Feng saw at first glance that on the stone walls on both sides of the simple gate made of thick wood, there is a big dog-headed portrait painted on each side, with fierce eyes and grinning teeth, holding a copper drum in one hand and a spear in the other, fierce and realistic!

Wei Feng looked away with just one glance, and Xian Enzhuo introduced in a timely manner: "General, the one standing at the front is Enzhuo's father, behind him is the eldest brother Xian Enyue, and the others are the elders of the clan and the masters of the major caves. ”

"Come, let's go faster!" Wei Feng nodded and quickened his pace.

Before they had taken a few steps, the nearly 100 men and women had already dispersed to the side of the road and lined up in two rows, all of them spread their hands and beat the copper drum, although the movements were simple, the drum beat was neat and consistent.

In the rhythmic drum beat, Xian Enzhuo introduced: "General, this is the highest welcome etiquette of my slang people, called the Hundred Drum Welcome, what do you think?" ”

Wei Feng smiled sincerely: "I just came to Guangzhou, I heard about the prestige of the slang copper drum, today I heard that the drum beat is crisp with desolation, symbolizing the long history of the slang people, and the simple and brave character, it is really worthy of the name!" ”

"Hahahaha~~" As soon as Wei Feng's voice fell, there was already a long laugh on the other side, and a middle-aged man came out of the crowd, Shi Li laughed and said: "General Wei is young and promising, it is effortless to pacify the three county dock forts, and the future is limitless, old man Xian Jin, thank General Wei for saving the dog!" ”

Wei Feng stepped forward quickly and replied: "People say that the tiger father has no dogs, I often think when I saw Ling Lang four months ago, what a heroic figure the Xian Zhai Lord will be, I see it today, it is indeed eye-catching, I already have a hunch, Xian Zhai Lord will definitely not let me down, prepare some small gifts today, and hope that Xian Zhai Lord will not push back!" ”

Wei Feng's gifts are only three, grain, silk, and salt, for the slang people, salt is in short supply, because the mountains do not produce salt, they want to get salt, can only buy it from the Jin people under the mountain at a high price.

Xian Jin didn't shirk at all, and said with a happy smile: "General Wei's kind old man thanked me first, come, please introduce old man Rong"

Starting from the eldest son Xian Enyue, Xian Jin introduced the people behind him to Wei Feng one by one, and Wei Feng returned the salute in a friendly manner, until it was about to get dark, and was introduced to the village, and the pine resin torches were lit on both sides of the winding mountain road, and there were curious slang people watching from a distance.

Although Wei Feng was always smiling, and Xian Jin had a conversation with him, he was secretly frightened in his heart, he originally expected that the slang village would be easy to defend and difficult to attack, but when he really saw it, he immediately realized that his idea was too simple, Yunkai Mountain as a whole did not have too high peaks, but it was a mountain with a mountain, continuous, and because it was located in Lingnan, the vegetation was extremely dense, and it was difficult to say a word, and there was nowhere to start if he wanted to attack.

Conversation, has come to a large square in the middle of the hillside, about nearly a thousand zhang square, the field is full of bonfires, the sky is reflected in the snow, mixed with the bonfire is a simple big table, around the table is a dozen stools made of tree trunks, roughly counted, the table is more than 300, the table is full of fine wine and delicacies, mainly all kinds of meat food, such as roast pig, dog meat and the like, the square is also surrounded by thousands of men and women, there are also holding children, obviously, the dinner party to entertain Wei Feng will be held here.

The guards and dominatrix were all looking at each other, and thousands of people sat down to eat together, and it was impossible to see them anywhere else except in the military camp, but even in the military camp, it was a separate meal system, and the slang people were whole pigs and whole dogs on the table, and they were obviously eating together around a table.

Different from the surprise of everyone behind him, Wei Feng felt a little cordial, wasn't this the flowing water seat set up for marriage in the village in his previous life?

"Papa~~" Xian Jin suddenly slapped a few times, and when the noise stopped a little, he called loudly: "Fathers and villagers in the village, today I have invited a distinguished guest for you, he is the general of Guangzhou Thorn Shiwei who has just pacified Gaoliang, Xinning and Jinkang three counties, and is willing to get along with our slang people and lead our slang people out of the mountains, everyone is welcome!" ”

"Oh oh oh~~" The slang man waved his sword and spear and shouted loudly, and the unarmed one waved his arm, his face full of excitement.

All of a sudden, the square was noisy, Wei Feng raised his arms and smiled, in fact, his smile was stiff, he had been laughing since he went up the mountain, and he was facing so many people, no one could bear it!

After another moment, Xian Jin's hands pressed, and the noise stopped again, and then he called: "It is already dark, and the birds and beasts have returned to their nests, but our feast has just begun, now, let us welcome General Wei to the table with a grand ceremony!" ”

"Dong Dong Dong ~~" The copper drum sounded again, different from the gate of the village, it was also accompanied by the hard blowing of the gourd sheng, Wei Feng was naturally greeted by the chief center, Zhang Ning, Wang Daolian and other guards and dominatrix were also welcomed elsewhere, thousands of slang people outside the venue have entered the table, after all of them were seated, Xian Jin raised his glass and smiled: "The food in the slang village is simple, General Wei should not dislike it, come, let's slang people toast you first!" ”

The two young and pretty slang girls sitting around Wei Feng, one picked up a wine glass, and the other poured a large glass of wine with a smile, the wine glass was made of bamboo tubes, about the height of a palm, this cup is at least half a catty!

Wei Feng took the wine glass and said loudly: "Okay! I have seen the enthusiasm of the slang people, and a thousand words are better than doing it first, everyone, please! As he spoke, he threw his throat up and drank it all!

Then a girl took a soft cloth for Wei Feng to wipe off the wine from her mouth, her movements were gentle and careful, although the slang girl's skin was not very white, and her body was not deliberately spiced, but her fingertips had a fresh and natural breath unique to the mountains, Wei Feng habitually sniffed lightly, and then praised: "Good wine!" ”

"Hahahaha~~" Xian Jin laughed and said: "General Wei has a good amount of alcohol, come, everyone drink together to respect General Wei!" ”

Thousands of people raised their glasses together, the scene was extremely enthusiastic, in addition to the two drinking girls at the same table with Wei Feng, there were also important figures of the Xian clan led by Xian Jin, they put down their cups and did not move their chopsticks, but looked at one of the women at the same time.

The slang woman picked up the knife, neatly pressed a cooked dog, cut off a dog's head three times and two times, and handed it over: "General Wei, please use a dog's head!" ”

Wei Feng was slightly stunned, treat someone to eat a dog's head? Can you eat dog heads? But after thinking about it, since the slang village is commonly known as the dog lang village, and the totem is also a dog's head and human body, it must be inextricably linked with the dog, and the meaning of the dog's head is needless to say, obviously, the slang people are surrendering to themselves in their own unique way.

In fact, in the long civilization of 5,000 years, in addition to the slang people, all the tribes of the Central Plains take dogs as the main meat, before the Song Dynasty, the consumption of dog meat steadily overwhelmed pork, the reason for this is likely to be that dogs are easy to raise, local dogs are not picky eaters, and obedient, let go out during the day, run around the mountains and wilderness, and know that they go home at night, some powerful dogs, maybe they can also take a rabbit back.

Westerners don't eat dogs, that's because the European climate is mild, the land is fertile, food is never lacking, the best land in Eurasia is in Europe, so they regard dogs as their partners, but the East is different, the East has a diverse climate, natural disasters continue, soil erosion is serious, before the Qing Dynasty, food has always been a hurdle that cannot be overcome, the number of peasant uprisings that broke out in Chinese history is the highest in the world, the fundamental reason is that there is no food to eat, rather than starving to death, it is better to fight, under such conditions, Dogs are naturally treated as food rather than pets.
