Chapter 428: Chidan City
Xiao Rensan also wanted to have a few drinks, but he couldn't stand the leftists when the Huns drank. The custom of the local winery is that several people pay for a large bag of mare's milk wine, then sit down in a circle according to their age, and then each person takes turns pouring a large sip of mare's milk wine until the bag of mare's milk wine is drunk.
The local sake brewery only sells alcohol, so customers need to bring their own snacks to accompany them. Xiao Rensan couldn't stand this rough wine style, and he really didn't like the smell of mare's milk wine. At the moment, it is rare not to drink with them.
Because the magic of the stunned child was sealed, he didn't dare to easily offend the Central Plains monks who were not returning and Wu Mian. In addition, there was Bai Wuqiu, who often bullied him, and this Hun monk did not dare to make any excessive moves. When there was a spell, he was kicked on the ground by this big man, and now that he has no spell, he is even more afraid to provoke it. And there was no intention of stopping him if he didn't return, and he didn't even say anything that hinted that he didn't want to run away.
At that moment, Bai Wuqiu and Suddenly went to the wine shop they frequented, thinking that this meal would have to be drunk until midnight before the two of them could come back. What I didn't expect was that after more than half an hour, Bai Wuqiu came back with a stunned child, in addition to the two of them, Bai Wuqiu also had a forty or fifty-year-old Hun half-old man under his armpit.
After leaving this half-old man still in front of the returnee, Bai Wuqiu said: "Old fellow, this old man said that he knows where that Chidan is. This old man is your son, I respect you, if there is anything you want to ask, hurry up and ask. The two of us went back and continued to drink, and we had just drunk two rounds, and a large group of people were still waiting. ”
Suddenly, he knew a little more about personnel than Bai Wuqiu, and before he made this matter clear, this Hun monk did not dare to leave. In the end, under the repeated urging of Bai Wuqiu, he briefly told what had happened. After he sat down with Bai Wuqiu and four or five Hun friends in the winery, he bought a bag of mare's milk wine and drank it in a circle, when the old Hun man appeared.
The old man had met a few times with one of Bai Wuqiu's friends, and he came over to drink with a shy face. Since the host was stunned this time, the friend and the old man were not familiar with each other, so he came up with a problem to send him away. Just now, he was stunned and kept asking his friends about the name of the place called Chidan, and then the friend sent this problem to the old man: "It's not that I won't give you a drink, as long as you can tell where today's host Chidan is." Today's mare's milk wine is yours, otherwise we wouldn't have done anything. ”
"Chidan ......" The old man tilted his head and thought for a long time, just when everyone thought that he was pretending again, the old man suddenly spoke again: "This is not the name of our Xiongnu, Chidan is the name of the previous Inurong period, and it is a ruined city in the Inurong period." It's in the valley of Mount Moro, thirty miles outside the city....."
The old man was speech, and he was stunned as he asked Bai Wuqiu to translate again. After hearing that the old man knew where Chidan was, Bai Wuqiu, who was still pouring mare's milk wine into his mouth, directly threw most of the bag of mare's milk wine in his hand to the old man. glared at him and said, "This bag of wine is yours, if what you said just now is true, you will find the wine bag in your next life." ”
After he finished speaking, he was dragged away by the impatience that he had been waiting for a long time: "Say a few words, I don't know if there are any friends waiting?" Let's go back and continue to drink, today Lao Tzu will take you without vomiting and returning......"
Ignoring the lack of desire to drag the stunned child away, he called Yin Haoda over and asked him to translate for him. Then he said to the old man: "I heard that you know how to go to Chidan?" Tell me about it, if you're right. I took care of the mare's milk wine old man this year, if you can take us to that place called Chidan, I will also take care of the mare's milk wine for the rest of your life, how about it? ”
At first, the old man turned pale with fright. Holding his half bag of mare's milk wine tightly in his hand, he knew that listening to Yin Haoda translate the old man's words, his face was a little more bloody. Then, he told everything he knew.
The old man's name was Attila, and he used to be a small official in charge of the treasury in the Xiongnu royal court. Among the Xiongnu, there were few literate people, and the treasury guarded by Attila was filled with treasures from various departments around the Xiongnu. When taking inventory of the warehouse, the old man found a map of the Inurong period in it (the Bank of China later said that the map was based on this). The name of Chidan City is on this map, and Attila only knew the two characters of Chidan on the entire Inujon map at that time. At that time, he remembered it firmly, and later escaped from the royal court overnight because of the incident of stealing the treasures in the treasury in exchange for wine and drinking. I didn't think that a few years later, I would still rely on this in exchange for a drink.
Now that I finally have the exact address of Chidan, I finally breathe a sigh of relief if I don't return. At that moment he took out a gold cake and a small gold coin from his luggage. Then he put the gold coin in the palm of Attila's hand and said, "These two pieces of gold are yours, and you have told us where the red pill is, and you will get a gold coin." Take us on a walk in a few days, and when we get to the place, this piece of gold cake is yours. What do you think? No problem, right? ”
After listening to Yin Haoda's translation, Attila stared at the gold cake in his hand and nodded, then shook his head vigorously, and muttered a sentence that only Yin Haoda could understand the Xiongnu dialect. The old guy didn't understand what he meant after nodding his head, and then Yin Haoda translated for him: "He wants two gold cakes." ”
After knowing where Chi Dande was, they didn't have the heart to stay in the vestibule. After Wu Mian helped him pack up and park, Wu Mian personally went to the local wine shop, and among the drunks in a place, he pulled Bai Wuqiu and Suddenly out of it.
After Wu Mian brought the two of them back one by one, he was stunned and had already woken up. It's just that Bai Wuqiu then began to play drunk, and was thrown directly into a well by Wu Mian. The monster jumped out of the well after a while. Ignoring Wu Mian at the moment, he pointed directly to the well and scolded to the stunned child: "Lao Tzu said that mare's milk wine is mixed with water!" You go down and take a sip of wine......"
At that moment, the three carriages of Wu Mian and Gui Wu left the vestibule overnight. Follow the path pointed out by the old man Attila and head northwest. Attila's Ruin City of Chidan is near the outer branch of the Xiongnu rear town, and there are few places there that have not been plundered by the war.
The three carriages ran for a day and a night, and arrived at Zhicheng in the evening of the next day. The town is actually similar to the vestibule, with hundreds of tents set up together and a fence made of wooden stakes on the perimeter. The Xiongnu were nomadic people, and it was not easy to have such a gathering place.
At that moment, several people got out of the carriage and set up their tents outside the city. Wu Mian, whether they returned or not, there was no problem with them rushing to Chidan City overnight, but Attila, who was a few years old, really couldn't bear it. Although he is also a Huns, after all, he has been a treasury official in the royal court for half his life. can't compare to the same clan as Yin Haoda and Hu Xuan'er.
Early the next morning, Attila and Yin Haoda first went to the local Huns to inquire about the address of Moro Mountain. Then he drove the carriage in the direction of Mount Moro. When he reached the foot of Mount Moro, Attila pointed to the position behind the mountain and said, "The city of Chidan you are looking for is in the valley, but I am too old to walk the mountain road. So you will give me the bread of gold. By the way, I'll show you the carriage here, there are many wild wolves here, no one is watching, and these horses can't be saved. ”
After listening to Yin Haoda's translation, he smiled, and then took out two gold cakes from his luggage. After shaking the golden cake in front of Attila, he said to Yin Haoda: "You tell him, do you remember what I said to the old man?" When he got to the place, the two pieces of gold were his. ”
