Sixty-one, showdown (popular recommendation, ask for collection)
The people who had panicked on the riverbank, under the command of Bara, quickly mounted their horses and ran downstream to save people.
The gods blessed, and in the slower terrain downstream, someone built a large fence across the river with tree trunks and branches, and stopped most of the people who were swept away by the water. Obviously, this is not the first time this has happened.
In order to save people, Barra only hurriedly changed his clothes, and now he still feels bitterly cold wrapped in a cloak. With a gloomy face, he commanded, "Go and find out, what the hell is going on." β
The person who led the order ran to the local's house and asked it to find out. It turned out that there was a fissure at the bottom of the river, which was only a mile upstream, and there was no danger in normal times. It's just that in winter, the river freezes, and the river surface at the fissure is narrow, and it is easy to freeze the ice wall and intercept the water upstream.
As soon as spring begins, the ice wall melts and loosens, and when it can't withstand the water, it washes down with the water that had accumulated in the fissure. Since people die every year, Cui Situ sent people to build a big fence downstream the year before last, in order to save a few more lives. Who would have thought that he would really be bumped into by the people and horses of the Xia Dynasty.
When Bara learned of this, he immediately had the guide of the party lashed fifty times. After the guide was beaten, he also had more air out and less air in.
Invite Yu did not accompany Bara to save people. As soon as the matter passed, his mind calmed down, and Ling Yu couldn't help but feel a little impulsive.
When Bara went to save people, she originally wanted to help the beads to rest in the tent. Xiao Zhu'er shook off her hand and stared at her resentfully, "Who are you?" β
Invite Yu knew that he couldn't hide it, but he didn't want to drag down Xiao Zhu'er, so he only said vaguely, "There are some things that you don't know to be the safest." β
Xi Zhu'er's voice was cold, "I don't care who you are, if you hurt the governor, I will never spare you." β
Invite Yu looked back at Xiao Zhu'er in some surprise, although she had long felt that Xi Zhu'er was different from Bala, but Ying Yu didn't expect her to say it so bluntly. Could it be that Xiaozhuer misunderstood something?
Xiao Zhu'er didn't give Ying Yu a chance to explain, and walked back to the camp by herself with a trembling body. Xiao Zhu'er could see very clearly that when the three of them landed, Barra's hostility was disappearing in his eyes when he looked at Invite Yu.
When the people who fell into the water were brought back to the camp in twos and threes, the people who stayed in the camp brought out the scalded liquor and poured a bowl on each of them. A huge fire burned in the camp, illuminating the entire river red. As soon as the frozen people were moved near the fire, they were warmed by the crowd.
Barra was treated better, and in addition to the spirits, he had hot bath water to ward off the cold. When he got out of the tent, several bodies that could not be rescued were also pulled back to the camp.
Far from the homeland, the corpse cannot be brought back under any circumstances. It can only be burned on the spot, and then the ashes can be brought back to the Xia Dynasty for burial.
The atmosphere in the team was very depressing. The body was placed on a wooden rack. One by one, the living put a stick of wood under the wooden frame. Men and women gather around the wooden frame and begin to sing and dance the shamanic dance that buries the soul.
"Fortunately, there is an art class with all the drums, so they won't look too bleak when they leave." Invite Yu to say as he walked to Barra's side and sat down.
The two of them were facing the fire across the dancing crowd. Against the backdrop of the firelight, the two people who were obviously sitting very close to each other were guarding each other.
"I thought you'd at least wait until the moon was over the willows, and then make an appointment with me after dusk." Barra lifted the jar and took a sip of it.
Invite Yu frowned dissatisfiedly, "So your nature of not pretending to be so annoying?" β
Barra looked indifferent, "I can make you notice me, why not hate it?" β
The music in front of the fire stopped abruptly, and the funeral dance stopped.
Invite Yu and Bara to follow the crowd around the wooden frame. Barak took the torch from his servant, and after lighting the pyre under the wooden rack, he returned to the crowd and led them to bow down solemnly.
"The soul is back homeβ"
"The soul is back homeβ"
"The soul is back homeβ"
chanted one after another, making Invite Yu's mood continue to decline. Maybe today is not a good day for a showdown. But what day is it?
After the crowd dispersed, only Invite Yu and Bara remained by the fire to drink.
Invite Yu knew that he was not strong enough to drink, so he was just playing with the wine cup in his hand at this time.
She looked at the swirling wine in the glass and said lightly, "Who are you?" β
"Someone who won't hurt you. I won't divulge anything about you. "At least not yet. Bara is different from Inviting Rain, drinking cup after cup.
Invite Yuliu raised her eyebrows slightly, "Do you know my master?" β
Bara didn't answer her perfunctorily, but drank another glass of wine in silence. He himself did not know the answer to this question. Before today, Bala had never thought that he would have anything to do with Tan Yingyu. But today, when the two internal forces fused, he himself began to doubt.
"Are you my junior brother?"
"Puff-" Barra snorted a sip of wine, "If it is, it should be Senior Brother!" β
"You're not as strong as me." Invite Yu said with a serious face.
Barra choked suddenly, unable to refute it. He snorted angrily and put the wine cup aside, and no longer cared about inviting rain, flicked his sleeves and left.
Invite Yu didn't stop him. Although Invite Yu still doesn't know anything about Bala, she has intuitively decided that Bala is not a bad person. Their internal strength is in the same line, even if they are not the apprentices of the master, they should be from the same sect.
And although Bara is indifferent on his face, his heart is also overturned. He can't wait to go back to Jingzhou now to ask clearly.
"I also have a junior brother." Invite Yulin recited a sentence before going to bed, and his mood was wonderfully much better.
If Zimo was here, he would never believe Barra so easily. But the rain is not. She longs for her family, for meeting someone who shares her circumstances or origins. Perhaps in this way, she will feel that she is no longer a lonely existence in this world.
The team repaired by the Fenshui for three days before setting off again. Although the rescue was timely at that time, many people still fell ill and were left in Bingzhou City. Wait for the team to finish congratulating the Wei Dynasty and then follow back when they return to the Xia Dynasty.
After leaving the state, Barra seems to have deliberately avoided inviting rain. Every time he invited the rain to look for her, he was practicing the greetings, and then he still recited a bunch of words with a curly tongue sound, the moon was bright, the best people were embarrassed, Shu Miao was entangled, and he was quiet. Even those who don't understand poetry like Invite Yu can hear that this is definitely not a congratulatory speech.
Invite Yu felt that the junior brother should have difficulties. Even she didn't tell her purpose and plan herself. Since this is the case, they do not know how to deal with each other. So the two of them went their separate ways, and anyone could see the alienation.
On the day when I invited Yu into Pingcheng, I looked up from the carriage and saw Zimo sitting in the restaurant. This is the only way for the Xia Dynasty mission to enter Pingcheng.
Invite Yu has no doubt that Zimo has been guarding here. She and Zimo looked at each other, squinted with a smile, and suddenly felt like they were home.
The beads who rode with him said angrily, "Look at what? So happy? β
Since Invite Yu and Bala are estranged, Xi Zhu'er's attitude towards Invite Yu has also improved. At this time, seeing that Invite Yu was smiling happily, he couldn't help but poke his head out and look around.
"Nothing. I just feel like I'm finally in Heijo. That's nice! β
"You won't necessarily be favored when you arrive." Xiao Zhu'er still couldn't help but stab Yu Yu.
Because the Xia Dynasty's troops were delayed on the road for a long time, the celebration of the Wei Emperor began on the second day after inviting them to enter the city.
The whole Heijo was in an uproar.
