Chapter 19: The Leader and the Witch
Although I decided to do what Qiu Chuji instructed, we still faced an important problem, that is, how to leave this camp.
When I said the question, Qiu Chuji smiled and said, "It's all wrapped up in Lao Dao's body." Then the four of us, under the leadership of Qiu Chuji, passed through the camp in a grand manner, and then came to the gate of the camp.
At the door, when we were about to leave, Qiu Chuji called out to us: "Remember, you must kill them in order, otherwise you won't be able to break this formation at all." ”
"Got it, don't worry, old Taoist!" I didn't care, waved my hand lightly and said, "Goodbye then!" ”
Qiu Chuji said at this time: "When you come back, you may not be able to see the old way, everything has to rely on yourself, so you need to be cautious, everything must be planned first, and then act." ”
After speaking, he stood in the place of the camp and slowly smiled and waved at us.
I don't know why, I was in a good mood, but after hearing Qiu's advice, I became extremely sad.
I looked back at this old man I had known for a short time, but there were tears in my eyes.
But I didn't say anything after all, just waved my hand slowly and left firmly.
After that, our atmosphere became unusually depressing, there was no communication along the way, and we all knew what Qiu Chuji meant by saying that we would not see him when we came back.
Qiu Chuji said that his last wisp of soul was almost unbearable, obviously it was completely wiped out, although he had already died once, but after this separation, I felt that he was really dead.
The atmosphere was depressing, no one wanted to speak, even Alice, who would have a nervous disorder from time to time, was silent, which showed how oppressive the atmosphere was.
It wasn't until we saw a large number of scattered yurts on the hillside in the distance that our mood improved.
This should be what Qiu Chuji said, the descendants of the original group of slaves, they have been breeding in this isolated place for 800 years, there is no sign of scientific and technological civilization, and they have been living the same life as 800 years ago, which is really unbelievable.
On the hillside are yurts, and below the hillside, there are herds of cattle and sheep, herdsmen riding horses grazing, and children playing innocently.
However, before we could be happy, we were frightened by a burst of shouting.
I couldn't understand what the other party was saying, but I could tell from the tone of the other party's expression and the full bowstring that the other party was very unfriendly to our arrival.
"What did he say?" I asked Wang Sheng next to me.
Wang Sheng frowned and said, "I don't know the specifics, I can only understand a few words!" ”
"Huh? Individual words? I asked, puzzled.
"Yes, but it's all against us!"
They shouted at us again, and I could already see a troop of horsemen rushing down the hillside, apparently coming at us.
"The language they speak is very complicated, there are Mongolian, Chinese, Arabic, Russian, German, and some words that I don't understand, but I can probably understand that the other side is going to shoot us!" Alice said from the side.
"What? Why don't you say it sooner! After I heard this, I raised the hard crossbow in my hand and aimed it at the other party.
Don't look at the other side, there are only three
People, still holding a homemade fierce bow in their hands, but they are not afraid of us at all, their eyes are like eagles, their bows are full of moon, and they look like they may kill us at any time.
Wang Sheng didn't raise the crossbow, but asked Alice, "Can you try to communicate with them?" I only speak a little Mongolian and Arabic, and although I can understand individual words, I can't communicate. ”
"Damn!" After listening to Wang Sheng's words, I realized: "It turns out that the two of them are scholars, Wang Sheng can speak at least four languages, and Alice is even more awesome, at least seven or eight." ”
Alice frowned, thought for a while, and said, "I'll give it a try, because there are so many languages in their language that it's hard to communicate." ”
After that, I heard Alice talking with a mouth full of birds, I don't know what she was talking about, anyway, I communicated with the other party for a long time, and the other party never meant to put down the bow and arrow, and I knew by looking at the other party's expression that it didn't make sense.
By this time the cavalry on the hillside had already arrived, and a group of cavalry quickly surrounded us, and pointed at us with bows and arrows.
In that case, if we had fought with each other, we would have the upper hand, and we would have even eliminated the three herdsmen without harm.
But now it doesn't work, the other party has at least fifty horsemen, and we are three layers inside and out, and we want to kill it, it's just a fool's dream.
"What now?" I asked the other three, and the other three didn't pay any attention to me.
The leading knight spoke, Alice communicated with him, the two sides seemed to change several languages, and finally seemed to have found a language to communicate together, and I don't know how Alice fooled, the other party actually agreed to us to enter their tribe, and did not disarm us.
There is a saying that Wangshan runs a dead horse, and it is true. It looked like it was on and down the hillside, and the cavalry team looked like it was only five or six minutes, but it took us more than half an hour to walk up.
And the other party didn't mean to help us get the supplies at all, fifty kilograms of supplies, I almost didn't die of exhaustion on my back.
As soon as I entered the tribe, a group of children gathered around me with great curiosity, and many adults came around to watch.
But the whole tribe seems to be unusually old and backward, and it is definitely not as advanced as it is filmed in the TV series.
Wang Dabao saw that they didn't even have a water tank, and the water used to hold water was a water bag made of cow and sheepskin.
When we arrived, we were treated like zoo animals, and we began to be watched, and the cavalry captain said a word to Alice and left.
I asked Alice, "What kind of bird language do you speak?" ”
"Don't insult the language of a people!" Alice first warned me seriously, and then said: "It's Arabic, but because of the inheritance problem, they have been a little mixed with other languages, and the meaning of some words has been inaccurate, so they need to be double-checked."
When I told me what we were here for, they didn't believe it at first, until I said it, and they didn't believe us.
The captain of the cavalry said that the leader of their tribe and the witch told them that Qiu Chuji was a god in the sky, and that it was because of his words that their tribe could survive to this day eight hundred years ago. ”
I frowned when I heard this, and remembered that in history class, I had learned some deeds about Qiu Chuji, which did have a record of Qiu Chuji meeting Genghis Khan, and Qiu Chuji had persuaded Chengji
There is also such a thing as Sihan not killing people at will.
But in the TV series version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", this incident was said by Ma Yu to Genghis Khan.
I still remember that it was said in the history books that Qiu Chuji seemed to have gone back after meeting Genghis Khan.
However, we saw Qiu Chuji here, which means that Qiu Chuji did not go back, which means that what is recorded in history textbooks may not be completely true history.
Of course, we can also suspect that the Qiu Chuji we saw was fake, that is, some master was pretending to be a ghost, such as the mysterious Mr. Wang of the Wang family.
But there is one thing I remember, and that is that Genghis Khan and Qiu Chuji died in the same year, which is a bit too much of a coincidence, so I believe that the Qiu Chuji we saw is real.
"He's going to ask their leader and the witch to come and see us!" Alice added: "Whether you can be trusted or not depends on this time. ”
"What if I can't?" I asked.
"If they can't, they'll kill you, because they seem to have a crush on your crossbow!" Alice patted me on the shoulder, asking for more than she wanted.
"Huh? Why us, and not you? I asked, puzzled.
Alice stroked her bangs and made a very bewitching action: "Because the old lady is good-looking, they want to keep the old lady as the lady of the village!" Just now I asked the old lady if she was married! ”
", I'll kill him, dare to tease Lao Tzu's woman in front of Lao Tzu!" I looked at the cavalry captain who had returned, and my eyes almost breathed fire.
At this moment, the cavalry captain and a group of men came towards us with two men in their arms.
The two people in the middle, one is a strong old man who looks to be in his fifties, with big shoulders and a round waist, and a rotten belly, but he is not tall, no more than 1.7 meters at most.
He had a fierce face, and he wore the latest and most beautiful fur of all people, and he had a belt studded with various precious stones around his waist, and a golden scimitar, and a huge ruby on the hilt.
I can see that my eyeballs are going to be sucked away, it's not that I'm bragging, if this scimitar is sold in the auction house, there will be no 100 million, and it will definitely not be able to take it down.
This man should be the leader of this tribe, and the tall thin old man next to him should be a witch.
The reason why I am so sure is not that my eyes are vicious, but because of the tall and thin old man who holds a witch war in his hand, and at the top of the witch battle is a human skull.
This guy called Wu had a scorched face and wrinkles like knife cuts on his face.
He had gray hair and was dressed in a witch robe, but this witch robe was more like a combination of countless tattered clothes, and his witch robe was probably a combination of all the colors that could be found in the entire tribe, and there were all kinds of messy colors.
Seeing us, the leader didn't give a good face, but just snorted coldly and said something.
I looked at Alice and asked, "What did he say?" ”
Alice frowned, and didn't seem to know what the other party was saying, so she had to interrogate the cavalry captain.
But at this moment, I heard Wu actually speak Chinese, but his tone changed a little, just like a foreigner who had just learned Chinese, and could roughly understand it.
"Are you Han?" This is the interrogation of the witch.
