"A lifetime of companionship, life and death?"

Helian Thrush was watching the table, and he had already heard the people around him whispering. Immediately, her eyes widened, what is this, what is this? Didn't Sister Zhuoya say that she only let Brother Nineteen pretend to be a lover? But looking at everyone's surprise, it seems, it seems that this is not so simple?

Helian Red Sleeves saw his sister's worry, so he asked a chubby aunt sitting next to him what this meant.

This fat aunt is Uncle Kunsang's wife, Hulan Zhuoma. Hulan Zhuoma has a kind heart and a warm-hearted heart, and everyone who knows her on the grassland respectfully calls her Aunt Zhuoma.

Uncle Kunsang had heard Guli Zhuoya say that Sister Helian was coming, because they were women, and they were not as easy to arrange as the men of Class 191 at night, so Aunt Zhuoma was specially arranged to sit next to Helian Red Sleeves to facilitate her care.

Aunt Zhuoma is extremely fluent in Mandarin, and how many of the Kunpeng people can't speak Mandarin? When Aunt Zhuoma heard Helian Hongsleeve's inquiry, she first sighed for a while, and then explained the meaning of this life and death.

It turned out that on the Election Day, when the girl gave a horsewhip to the person she liked, the two were considered engaged. Just wait for the last two or three days, and when you choose a good day, a small ceremony will be held to officially get married.

Those girls wrapped the horsewhip around the young man's neck, and it had a name, called this life!

The love whip sent by the girl has another layer of meaning. Even in the future family life, if she made a mistake, her husband would punish her with this whip.

However, due to the lack of livelihood and harsh climate on the grassland, it is inevitable that plagues and diseases will run rampant. In addition, there are often natural disasters and military disasters on the grassland, so there are few men on the grassland who live a long life.

The population of the tribes has been greatly reduced because of the hardship of life or the frequent wars. Especially when there is a dispute in the grassland, there is often a fight, and these young men are the warriors of the tribe.

Since ancient times, it is inevitable that a few people will die on the battlefield, and this has led to the emergence of a situation in which there are more women than men.

Therefore, a rule was set that if the husband died first, and his wife was still able to bear children, then the wife must remarry.

There are reasons for this rule, the first is that a widowed woman, after losing her husband, alone with her young children, simply cannot survive a cold winter. The second reason is that if she remarries, she can have children and increase the population of the tribe. So on the steppe, there are hardly any widowed young women.

Most of these women who have lost their husbands will marry the brothers of their late husbands. In this way, the children born before can be better integrated into the later family. Because these children are related to each other by blood, they can also better maintain the harmony and prosperity of a family.

If a woman who has lost her fertility loses her husband, by that age, their children will have already grown up and will have their own children to support them, but they will not have to remarry.

Few people on the grasslands dare to disrespect their parents, and it is a felony not to honor their parents or to abuse the elderly. Not only will it make everyone shameful, but even serious ones can be executed according to clan rules!

So on the steppe, there are only a few old women who are widowed. Moreover, a man will marry many wives and have as many children as possible to ensure the continuation and prosperity of the family.

These wives also get along well with each other, and there are few jealous wives who are jealous. If a man can't control his wives, it's a very shameful thing on the grassland!

Shengmian means that the husband is alive, no matter how difficult and difficult life is, he will never give up, and he cannot give up the marriage without permission. The husband is in the end, and the husband dies and marries again.

When Aunt Zhuoma said this, she sighed, this is the life of a grassland woman!

But with you all your life, life and death with you! It's different.

Once you make a lifelong commitment, life and death go hand in hand. If a husband dies first, there are only two ways for a wife to go. One way is to commit suicide and be buried, and the other way is to enter the grassland temple and serve the holy spirit of the snow-capped mountain, and since then he has been lonely for a lifetime.

There is a difference between these two paths, if the husband has said before his death that he wants his wife to be buried with him, then he must be buried as a wife, and it is impossible to even enter the temple.

And the road to enter the temple is not easy to walk, and there are many rules and precepts after entering the temple. If they break the vows, they will be expelled from the temple, and the tribes will not be allowed to take them in, and they will die a tragic death in the wilderness and grassland. Therefore, women who are engaged to stay with each other in this life, life and death, once their husbands die, almost all of them commit suicide and martyrdom. Therefore, every girl will be warned by her parents before choosing a parent, and try not to choose this way of engagement.

This life is guarded, life and death go hand in hand, although it sounds romantic, but it is actually a shackle to those girls. Only those girls who are carried away by love will choose this way of engagement to express their loyalty to love.

The implementation of this engagement method is very simple, that is, the girl's engagement whip is cut in two. The girl and the young man each hold half of it, indicating that from now on they will be connected with the fate of their beloved, and even their lives will be life and death.

This kind of engagement has not appeared for many years, and I don't want to choose this method tonight?

After hearing this, Helian Red Sleeves couldn't help but look at his sister. Helian Thrush also understood, and his heart was even more sourly anxious. How can this be? Zhuoya, how can Sister Zhuoya do this? What should I do? If I stop it now, won't it hurt Sister Zhuoya's life? If I don't stop it, will I really want Brother Nineteen to marry her? I, I? Sadness came from it, tears fell out again, and I couldn't help but be stunned.

Yehan Kulin was the first to see the half-cut horsewhip in Gu Li Zhuoya's hand, and his heart couldn't help but tighten, and he sighed, sighing, alas...... How could Xiao Zhuoya be so nonsense. Is it possible to keep this life and death with each other haphazardly? How can this child be so willful?

When Ordu saw Gu Lizhuo's half-cut horsewhip, he hated it even more, she, she actually used this way to set her life! He looked at Ye Nineteen, his eyes full of resentment and jealousy!

Khan Khan was in the distance, and when he saw Guldra standing there with his horsewhip held high, his face turned blue with anger!

Everyone in the audience was surprised by Gul Zhuoya's engagement method, and even Lanya covered her mouth and exclaimed when she saw her horsewhip, shouting "Zhuoya, you ?......"

Gu Li Zhuoya smiled bitterly in her heart, she was originally going to let Ye Nineteen be a shield, but Ordu just wanted to see her engagement whip!

Of course, she knows that she will stay with her all her life, and she will go with her in life and death. But the whip before had already been torn off by her when she was fighting with Night Nineteen. It's too late to make it up, and now I have to make it wrong.

Anyway, as long as you don't marry that prairie bear, it's fine!

"Abuji!" exclaimed Khan with a blushing face.

"Abuji is here! What does the Great Khan command?"

The salute officer, who was secretly frightened in his heart, heard Khan shouting at him, and hurriedly ran over.

"Go, check the whip in Gul Zoya's hand!" Khan Khan glanced at Abuji and shook his head slightly.

When Abuji saw the look in Khan's eyes, he was a man with eight faces, and he immediately understood Khan's intentions. Each girl's whip was woven by her own hands. A whip was woven from the age of 12 to the rite of passage, which lasted for three years.

In addition to the cow and sheep leather, this whip will also be mixed with the girl's hair, or some favorite silk threads. Therefore, each girl's whip will be different and have their own characteristics.

And the whips of some powerful daughters will also be mixed with gold and silver wires, so it is not too difficult to distinguish at all.

At this time, Khan Khan asked the whip to be tested, and it was clear that he had lied when he tested the whip, saying that Gulizoya was not holding her own horse whip. If it can be proved that she is not holding her own horsewhip, then she will be unable to count the number of people who will carry her in this life, and life and death will naturally follow!

Abuji's sweat came out of the ground, he didn't know how deep the relationship between Guli Zhuoya and the young man was, but judging from the way she chose to be engaged, she was already in love to death! Otherwise, who would choose that way to be engaged for life?

But if he told a lie and dismantled such a pair of lovers, how could Gul Zhuoya spare himself in the future? What should he do? How dare he disobey the orders of the Great Khan?

When he came, he walked as fast as flying, but when he returned, he was struggling. These dozens of steps, Abuji just hopes that he can't finish it!

Yehan Kulin walked up to Guli Zhuoya and gently stroked the braid on her head, his eyes loving. He asked softly, "Zhuoya, did you do this?"

Since she was a child, Gu Li Zhuoya has seen Han Kulin like her father, and when she sees the care and love in his eyes, her nose can't help but be a little pantothenic. But Uncle Kulin can't be the master of his own marriage, so he can't tell him about this matter?

He called in a low voice, "Uncle Kulin, this is, this is Zhuoya's choice!Please, please help me ......"

"Zoya, you, do you really like him?"

"Well, Uncle Kurin, I, I, really only like him alone!"

"Zhuoya, you are much stronger than your mother, since you like it, then Uncle Kulin will definitely help you!

These dozens of steps are finally completed. Abuji took a deep breath, bowed his head with his chest in his heart, first made a chest-beating salute to Guli Zhuoya, and then stretched out his hand, "Lord Zhuoya, please give the whip in your hand to Old Buji to see, okay?"

Abuji didn't dare to call Guli Zhuoya like Yehan Kulin, and he deliberately used the honorific title of Guli Zhuoya in his title.

Having heard his father Khan say that he would let Abuji test the horsewhip, Gul Zhuoya handed half of the horsewhip to Abuji.

Abuji looked respectful, came to the night nineteen again, and also gave a salute. When he came into contact with Ye Nineteen's indifferent gaze, his heart sank. What a great honor it is to be able to marry the Khan's beloved daughter! But how can this young man not be happy at all? His expression is extremely cold, and he even seems to be a little reluctant to do so!

When the nineteenth of the night was about to pass the horsewhip, Abuji put it in his hand and pretended to examine it carefully. How could he not tell if the whip was real or fake? But what should he say?

When he looked at it for a while, he found that the broken part of the whip was not broken by the sword, but it seemed to have been torn by force, and he suddenly had an idea.

"Abuji, can you detect this whip, but the whip of little Zoya?" asked Khan Khan.

Turning to face the Khan of Khan, Abuji replied respectfully, "Back to the Great Khan!
