Chapter 545: How can this be justified
Night.
Another night.
The caravan set up camp early to protect against the wind and sand at night.
At present, it is the border of Shazhou, and tomorrow it will enter the border of Dadan.
The sandbar was at least controlled by the Hu people, and the sandbands did not dare to make a mistake easily, but if they got out of the sandbar and entered the boundless Gobi Desert, all the dangers would be unknown.
For this reason, the militia of Yanshan Fort began to stand guard in turn, and the merchant group took them to migrate to the Western Regions, and they protected the safety of the merchant group.
Song Che sat in the tent, lit a candle, and carefully perfected the map of the Western Regions.
The situation in the Western Regions is changeable, so it will be much easier to draw a map more clearly and recover the Western Regions and trade in the coming year.
"Master, your face wash is hot."
Four Hu maidservants, one carrying a wooden basin, one holding a towel, one carrying a dinner plate, and one holding a teapot, walked into the camp tent in turn.
I don't know if it's because they've been tamed into servility, or if it's just by nature, these slaves don't seem to think of themselves as human beings.
The male slave is whipped and kicked, and the maid is close to him, if he really asks them to do something, they will do it, and they will never say a word to their master.
made Song Che almost feel that he was a slave owner.
"How many times have I said it, I am not your master, and I don't need your service, if you want to leave, I can set you free at any time."
"Yes, host......"
"If you call me master again, I will drive you all away!"
Seeing that Song Che was a little angry, they looked at each other, untied their wide clothes three or two, took off naked, knelt on the couch in turn, and put on a posture of letting the master punish them.
!
Song Che's blood and qi rushed straight to his head from the soles of his feet, who can withstand this? Even the table is up!
"You-"
"Boss!"
Nangong Yue hurriedly rushed into the camp tent, and when she saw such a picture, her eyes widened, and she turned to the maid on the bed and scolded angrily:
"A bunch of shameless Hu sluts, if you don't put on your clothes, I'll kill you!"
The maids were indifferent, only looking at Song Che.
Song Che pinched his forehead with one hand, and swayed slightly with the other, "Hurry up and get dressed and retreat......"
The maids obeyed, dressed and exited the camp.
"Sure enough, he is an uneducated barbarian, and he doesn't even have the most basic etiquette, righteousness and shame, which is really disgusting." Nangong Yue chattered and scolded, and looked at Song Che with resentment:
"Boss, you are really, none of us are better than them, eat in a bowl and want to be in a pot......"
Song Che swore to his chest: "Conscience of heaven and earth, I didn't say anything, they took it off by themselves...... Hu big steamed buns, where are the big beams and small steamed buns delicious? β
Nangong Yue said: "But these Hu Nu are inseparable from each other all day long, aren't you afraid that they will be sent by Alhan to spy on you?" β
Song Che smiled: "There is no doubt about it, they were sent by Arhan to spy on me." β
"What!"
Nangong Yue exclaimed, and quickly lowered her voice: "Then you still let them get close to you?" If you can't hold it and leak the news in the sinking, won't it be a failure? β
The more she thought about it, the more nervous she became, and her eyes were fierce: "No, I'll go and slaughter them all." β
"Hey." Song Che grabbed her anxiously, "Kill them, but they will be suspected, just let it be." Besides, surveillance isn't necessarily bad, what I want them to know, they pass it on, I don't want them to know anything, they don't want to hear a word,"
He asked, "Is there something wrong with seeing you so eager?" β
"Ouch! Look at my memory! β
She patted her skull, pulled Song Che and walked out of the tent, "There is an old man, with his own daughter, crying to see you, and it seems that he also mentioned something 'sand bandits', it must not be a trivial matter, you go and take a look!" β
Sand bandits?
I really should have taken a look.
Outside the camp, a fifty-year-old man, holding a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, knelt on the ground and kept wiping his tears and crying, no matter how others persuaded him, he did not want to get up.
"What's going on?" Song Che asked.
Guo Shuyun sighed lightly: "I don't know, when Zou Ping was patrolling, he found that the father and daughter were standing in the distance, shouting for a long time before they came over, and then they knelt here, crying and crying, so that they couldn't get up, and they were more hypocritical than you Jiangnan people." β
Song Che looked at the father and daughter, who were both Liang in their clothes and appearance, and their personalities were also very Liang.
"Old man, I'm the leader of this caravan, what do you have to tell meβ"
"Help, sir!"
Without waiting for Song Che's words to fall, the old man and his daughter shouted and bowed.
Ah......h
Song Che sighed lightly: "It's windy and sandy outside, please enter the account and say." β
Subsequently, it was credited to the account.
The old man told for a long time, and finally understood the reason, it turned out:
The old man is called Lu Shan, his ancestral home is really in Yangzhou, Jiangnan, and he was later conscripted into the army, went to Liangzhou as a soldier on the border, and later married a wife and had children to take root in Shazhou, and his home was ten miles away in Gyrozhuang;
There is only one daughter under Lu Shan's knees, called Lu Cuier, seventeen years old, Xu inherited the character of Jiangnan people, born well-behaved and quiet, delicate and lovely.
On that day, Lu Shan's old illness recurred, and his legs and feet were unfavorable, so Lu Cuier went to the market town to grab medicine, but unfortunately was targeted by the town's bully Pi Lao Wu.
Soon, Pi Lao Wu took the bride price to Dhara Village to propose marriage, and wanted to force Lu Cuier to be a concubine.
"That Pi Lao Wu, at the age of forty, was born black and ugly, and there are several wives and concubines in the family, all of them are fierce and spicy, if Cui'er is really accepted by him, how can she have a good life? So, I rejected him, saying that Cui'er is still young, and has no mother, and doesn't want to get married, but I didn't expect that the old five, three or two punches will be mixed with the door of my house, and before leaving, I will come to greet my relatives after three days, if I dare to escape, I will burn the entire Dhara Village!
I heard from my fellow villagers today that a Liang merchant passed by the sandbank, and there were more than 2,000 horses, and I thought that a noble man must have appeared, and he brought his daughter to meet you;
Great official, I Lu Shan was from Rong when I was young, although I have not experienced any military exploits, but I have also been on the border for more than ten years, and all the injuries are obtained on the battlefield, and now I only have this one daughter under my knees, how can I retreat her to the fire pit?
I beg the officials to save the little girl's life for the sake of their compatriots, please......"
The old man and his daughter hugged each other in tears and begged with affection.
"How can this be reasonable, I thought that there was a forcible seizure in the Guannai, but I didn't expect that there are such bullies in the Guannai!" Liu Xiang'er patted her chest and promised Lu Cui'er: "Don't be afraid, sister, I will stand up for you, and I will go to castrate the fifth child tomorrow!" β
"Maybe no one is old enough to call themselves sisters?" Song Che dragged Liu Xiang'er behind him and asked the old man again:
"This Pi Lao Wu can be so arrogant and domineering, there must be a backer behind him, right?"
