Chapter 020: Orb of Unknown Origin

Fast forward and it's the second year.

In the spring and summer of that year, during the thunderstorm, an ancient tree on Hu'an Mountain that was said to have been planted by Guangguang himself was broken by lightning, and everyone was shocked and hurriedly sacrificed to the ghosts and gods.

Within half a month, the Pu clan of Muba Mountain found a bird with two heads.

Someone said: "The most famous thing in Pakistan is the winged bird, and I have never heard of the two-headed bird." ”

Then the legend was a bad omen, and the ancient tree was struck by lightning and passed into the Hu'an Palace.

Uncle Yu was shocked and furious, and ordered the person who found the two-headed bird and the rumor in the palace that the first person secretly sacrificed the black ghost, and stopped talking about it.

Only a few days later, Hu'an Palace's decades of hard work and resentment of the head of internal affairs Ji Ji died of an unknown illness, Hu Rui recommended that the eunuchs are loyal and righteous, and Yu Yu is used as the head of internal affairs, in charge of the palace people to eat, drink and Lazar, and still palm seals.

After a series of disasters, it finally calmed down.

Outsiders don't know how to reuse Tho Huai and others, all of them are out of kindness, thinking that Uncle Yu is recruiting talents, which will lead to a chain reaction.

At the beginning of the winter of the same year, Yu Chang said to Uncle Yu: "The one who wins people is prosperous." "Recommend Ruo Clan, Ruo Chunpei and Zhu Bo.

Yu Yu saw Ruo Chunpei for the first time in Hu'an Palace, and saw that he was of medium stature, thin, coarse black left clothes, good material, good stitches, obviously a little fat, because it was still a little long, it looked a little like the deep clothes of the Chu people.

The Ba people's jacket is covered on the left, called the left side, why do they want to be left, there is no research, it seems that saving cloth is not a reason, it is estimated that it is deliberately different from the so-called Chinese style, they don't care about Confucius called it "strange clothes".

The most exquisite thing is that Ruo Chunpei actually wears a pair of upturned cloth shoes on his feet, and the work is very exquisite, as if he was temporarily borrowed and installed.

He has dark skin, deep wrinkles on his forehead, and his appearance is not amazing, his eyes are small, and he often forms a line, and he looks like a shrewd man at first glance.

Although he is not very ugly, Yu Yu still doesn't like his appearance in his heart, and asks a few questions, Ruo Chunpei talks eloquently.

Yu Yu suspected that Ruochun Pei was exaggerating, and reluctantly smiled: "I heard that you are good at telling stories, so let's tell one and listen to it." ”

Ruo Chunpei looked at his face, checked his color, and saw his thoughts, so he said: "There is a bird ...... on Hu'an Mountain."

Uncle Qian smiled first: "Do you want to say that I won't fly for several years like King Chuzhuang? ”

Chun Pei thought a little in his heart, made up a story on the spot, and said with a smile: "I'm not talking about that bird." The bird I'm talking about is called the Noisy Magpie, and it has a good friend named Gourd. Two birds are inseparable and foraging together.

"One day, the gourd complained about the noisy magpie and said, 'You don't let go of your mouth all day long, chirping, aren't you afraid of attracting snakes?' The noisy magpie said, 'What does it mean to fart and sing a song like you all day long?'

"After a few days, a long snake came to the forest, and first saw the noisy magpie, and secretly approached, and was about to pounce on it, when suddenly the noisy magpie began to sing. The serpent was taken aback, and thought to himself, 'It has found me, and is telling its companions, and has often heard that there is no meat in the trouble, so what good is it to eat it?'

The snake went forward, and found that the other bird was intently foraging, and without saying a word, it was the stuffy gourd, and secretly approached, and bit it with one bite. At this moment, the cheerful singing of noisy magpies was heard from a distance. The stuffy gourd repented and said, "It's better to make trouble!"

Uncle Yu smiled happily and said, "Wonderful." We're going to have a lot of trouble today!"

Chun Pei saw that Uncle Gu had the intention of taking him as an excellent person, and said: "This troublesome magpie is not the other noisy magpie!"

Uncle Yu changed his face and thanked: "It's me who is ignorant!" At this time, he realized that the person in front of him was thinly dressed, and said with a smile: "Hu'an Mountain is cold in winter, you make Zhou Zhou Zhengzheng, don't you feel cold?"

"When I first saw Yijun, I was about to sweat. ”

Uncle Yu laughed, so that the housekeeper Cuntao remembered to reward him with a fox fur winter suit, knowing that he was ambitious, and included it.

Let's say that if Chunpei, the name Run, the word Chunpei, the ancestral home is unknown.

Many years ago, the ancestors of Chunpei moved to the realm, and gradually the number of people increased, and the ancestors of Chunpei were not the eldest sons, so they went not far from the old village to establish a small village, which belonged to the side branch of the Ruo clan, that is, the sub-tribe.

Ruo Chunpei is thin, he has learned swordsmanship when he was a child, his skills are not refined, and he concentrates on farming and groping for rice planting, which is also a big deal for Ruo's family, and he almost returned his swordsmanship to his master.

Ruo Chunpei has some research on the Ba people's graphic language created by wizards, and he can be regarded as a reader of the Ba people themselves.

He is good at discernment since he was a child, often between three words and two words, to the point, so that the other party is subdued, so if there is any foreign affairs and major events in the clan, the leader Ruochun invites him to come forward; he is also a famous local master of ceremonies, the host of weddings and funerals in the clan, and the matchmaker entrusted by others.

The local people are able to speak, be good at making analogies, and convince people to talk about them, called "elders", and the remarks discussed by such people were later compiled into a book, called "Yijing".

If the water source is abundant and the climate is suitable, the clansmen are good at growing rice. At this time, rice cultivation in Pakistan was not as rare as imagined. As early as the Neolithic Age, there was primitive agriculture comparable to the Central Plains on the edge of the Yangtze River, and it was turned into rice fields in places with flat terrain and water sources.

By the time of Pakistan, the rice cultivation along the Yangtze River has reached a considerable level, and the powder for disguise made of new varieties is welcomed by the ladies of Chu who love it, and the "pink and white" in the "Chu Ci" is mostly related to the disguised powder produced in Pakistan.

However, in the Danfushui area of the deep mountain area where agriculture is not developed, and especially in the territory of the Yu clan, most of them are high mountains, and the cultivation of rice is still rare, so the rice planted by the Ruo clan is a tribute to the Hu'an Palace.

In the autumn of this year, Ruo Chunpei led people to send rice to the grassland of Hu'an Mountain, and when he passed through the Shuiba Mountain Pass, he was robbed by robbers.

It turns out that more than 100 years ago, there was a group of bandits in Shuiba Mountain, the first was a few people who committed capital crimes to escape and avoid the mountains, occasionally came out to cut the path, and then there were slaves who could not be oppressed, people who committed great things near and far, or people who were desperate for other reasons ran into the mountains, and gradually became a climate, once developed to more than 200 people, specially went down the mountain to rob the Danfu water passing boats, in order to harm one party, the capital of the orange capital, Hu'an Mountain sent troops to clear out, and the remaining thieves hid in a place where it was difficult for birds to enter on a cliff on all sides, and the local people called Guoquan Rock.

After a few years of dissipation, it has revived, cleared, and revived, in short, as long as the world is not peaceful, it will not be able to break the roots. Shuibashan Ju's is the closest to the thief's nest, and he has been attacked and robbed many times, which is the henchman of the Ju's, and the Ju's has also attacked the thief many times.

A few years ago, Hu'an Mountain sent a batch of tributes to Jiangzhou, the head of the mountain will lead the troops to clear the sword, the thief is greatly damaged, but because the mountain is deep and the forest is deep, it is still difficult to eradicate, but rarely come out again to rob wantonly, from time to time there is a single pedestrian who is robbed, a small fight.

Last winter, a man came out of nowhere, strong in martial arts, and the thieves elected him as the leader, and he began to go out of the mountains in groups, even more unscrupulous than before.

If the clan goes to the grassland, it must pass through the Daxi River, whether it is out of the mouth of the Daxi River, or over the Shuiba Mountain Fengya Pass to Mawan Cave, these two must roads may encounter thieves and ambushes.

This time, Ruo Chunpei chose to turn over the water and Bashan, wanting to come to a virtual reality, and just fell into the hands of thieves who were waiting for the rabbit. The group had to prepare to go back and report.

Chun Pei said: "This guy is the second gang, dare to rob the grain of Hu'an Palace, he is bold, I will go to the meeting to steal the leader, see what kind of goods he is, whether he has three heads and six arms!"

The peer advised: "If the rice is gone, plant it again next year, if the head is gone, you won't be able to plant it." ”

Chunpei didn't listen, so he asked everyone to go to the forest to rest first, and he and two brave warriors crossed the mountains and found the hiding place of the thief in the deep mountains.

The three thieves were tied to the pot ring rock, and there were several large holes in it, and the thieves lived in the holes.

When they reached the entrance of the cave, the thieves had gathered in the earthen and grass dam in front of the cave.

The thief said: "I heard that you sent it to the door by yourself to be stabbed?

Chunpei shouted loudly: "If you don't change your name, you can't change your surname, I'm Ruochunpei from Ruo's Village! How can you snatch Hu Anbo's belongings! Don't return me quickly! Avoid the catastrophe of destroying the cave!"

The thief leader smiled and said: "Hu Anbo is a fart! He is the king of grass, I am the king of mountains, and the well water can interfere with the river water, why not?"

Chun Pei shouted: "There are hundreds of warriors in Hu'an Mountain, and if you have a few races, you dare to have long eyes on the top of your head, and your eyes are empty!"

The thief was furious, and then laughed and said: "Shu Yan (duck) is dead and his mouth is still hard!

Chunpei laughed and killed without fear.

The thief was shocked and said, "Look at your three-inch nails, thin as a sick cat, but you are not afraid of death, it was born by your mother!"

Chun Pei saw that the thief was hazy, and his voice was childish, and he was estimated to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, so he was secretly surprised, and said secretly: "Now is the time to employ people, but this child is a thief, it's a pity." Then he said: "I heard that you are full of energy, and you are the leader of the robbery, you must be a martial artist, you don't want to serve the country, but you are a thief on the small Shuiba Mountain, I am really ashamed of you." ”

"It's none of your business. Seeing that you are bold, I will return the rice to you. ”

"There is a way to steal. You are here to be the king of the mountain, and you must also pay attention to the way, and you must not do all the things that destroy the conscience of heaven. People are doing it, ghosts are watching!"

There are thieves who want to kill Chunpei, but the thieves are not allowed. The second leader of the thief said to Chunpei: "If Chunpei, the eldest brother has always been the most reluctant to kill, and you only got your life today." ”

Chun Pei sneered: "The most reluctant to kill, but today he is doing the most unwilling to do, a bloodless thing!"

The thief leader said angrily: "Since I dare to fall into the grass, I am not afraid of owing a few more lives!

Chun Pei said with a smile: "If you want to cut it, you can cut it, what else do you tie!

The thief laughed and said, "Prepare wine and food, tie it in and drink!"

The second leader said to the two thieves who didn't know how to start: "Don't retreat quickly!"

Full of wine and food, the thief returned the spring rice.

When they broke up, Chunpei said to the thief leader: "You are arrogant, I am more horizontal than you, you are reasonable, I am more reasonable than you." After I send the rice to the Hu'an Palace, and when I return to my hometown, I will personally send you a few pieces of coarse rice. ”

The thief patted Ruo Chunpei's shoulder and said, "You don't need to come in person, call a few big backs, and I will know you from now on." ”

This unique means of transport is to adapt to the steep mountain and road in the Wujiang River Basin, which is used to transport dry goods such as grain and forage, and is mostly woven with bamboo and rattan materials, and the shapes are different due to different uses, some are small and refined, such as carrying children (called the fence cage), and some are rough and firm, used to carry heavy objects.

Wujiang people have formed an indissoluble bond with the memorization since they were born, not only spending their childhood in the memorization, but also begging for a life when they grow up.

Therefore, the Wujiang people call the porters of the coolies "big back pocket (篼)", which is a special title, and can also be regarded as named because of the profession, and the "flat dan" and "bangbang" in the main urban area of Chongqing today, all belong to the regular army of the "Shancheng Bangbang Army".

A month later, Ruo Chunpei really personally led people to send five backs of coarse rice to the thief leader.

Since then, the people of the Fanruo clan have crossed the Shuiba Mountain and the mouth of the Daxi River safely. Someone spread this matter to Xiangshan's ears, saying that Ruo Chunpei of the Ruo clan was in contact with thieves.

Xiangshan said: "If you go to the grassland, you must pass through the place where the thieves haunt, there are thieves on Shuiba Mountain, it is not his fault that we and others are unable to appease the territory." So he didn't pursue it.

Hu Anshan civil official Yu Chang went to the Daxi River area to collect style, heard some stories of Ruo Chunpei, and felt that he was a talent, so he recommended Uncle Yu.

He is about the same as a diplomat of a large tribe, who is in charge of the liaison between Hu'an Palace and other tribes, as well as the courtesy exchanges between Hu'an Mountain and the internal sub-tribes, and sometimes is also responsible for collecting intelligence.

If Chunpei advocates recruiting security thieves, it will be a hundred years of trouble.

Uncle Gu ordered him to go to Shuiba Mountain to surrender, and the thief was specially entertained with wine.

Ruo Chunpei saw the true face of the thief for the first time, and he was really only seventeen or eighteen years old, and his appearance was extraordinary.

The thief said to Ruo Chunpei: "You are a person I admire very much, you came to persuade Wang Hua, you should have obeyed, but there is no reason to have roots, Hu'an Mountain will not tolerate me." ”

Chunpei said with a smile: "Could it be that the little brother snatched the treasures of the Hu'an Palace of the Xiongzu Wuzi of the Gu Clan?"

The thief also smiled: "I don't know." ”

Chun Pei then stopped asking.

There are also several people who recommend talents, and they use the materials. I won't list them all.
