Bars had already stayed outside the yurt, bringing shovels, planks and other items.

Bars pointed to the ground in front of the yurt: "I think it's good to dig a well here, and in Shabaozi Town, the well is also drilled in front of the house." ”

Qin Liu nodded. It's all grass, and you can't see any difference.

The two were talking, but they saw people riding horses from afar, some were men and women riding together, the two were talking and laughing, and a horse behind them also had felt bags and other items commonly used in camping.

Qin Liu wondered: "Where did these people come from early in the morning?" ”

Bars was a little embarrassed, and he pointed to the high mountain in the distance: "There are lovers who go camping together at night, and this is the case in Naadam every year, and there is also in the Ao Bao meeting." ”

Qin Liu saw that Bars's mood was visibly much lower with the naked eye, and knew that it evoked unpleasant memories for him, so he didn't say anything more.

On the contrary, Bars threw the shovel in his hand with some anger: "Back then, I also saw Baudun and her lover riding down from the mountain together. ”

Qin Liu sympathized with the man who was cuckolded by his wife, thought for a while and asked, "Are you angry that she treats you like this?" Do you love her? ”

Bars thought about it and shook his head, and sat directly on the ground, feeling a little depressed: "She never treated me as a husband. Having a child with me was also under the pressure of the fire sieve. I used to want to think of her as my own family, but unfortunately ......"

Qin Liu can understand Baodun's choice, between the heroic lover and the husband of the hairy child, she will definitely choose a lover who is older than herself and has a good reputation.

Bals's tragic marriage was nothing more than a fire sieve that was forced into him. Pity him for being a lonely child who is a proton, and he once regarded Xiang Baodun as a family member, and longed for the warmth of the family.

Qin Liu stepped forward and took Baars's hand and looked at him gently: "No matter how many mistakes Bao Dun has, he is already dead. And why should you punish yourself with the pain of the past? You are so good, your wife will definitely love you, cherish you, and give you a warm home. ”

Bars raised his somewhat sad eyes and hugged Qin Liu tightly into his arms.

This woman, who is not yet his wife, can give the warmth and happiness of his own home and soothe his past pain, what is he not satisfied with?

Bars quickly adjusted his mood and discussed the matter of digging a well with Qin Liu.

A well was dug in the Great Wall, and the walls of the well were built around the walls of the well with bricks or stones. But there are no bricks and few stones in this grassland.

Bals' solution was to secure the walls around the wall with wooden planks nailed together to prevent the well from collapsing.

Qin Liu could only agree. In this barren grassland, we can only adapt measures to local conditions.

Their lively well-digging activities quickly attracted many Mongolians who watched the excitement. Some volunteered to help, while others helped to cut down trees in the mountains to get wood.

In just half a day, the well has been dug three zhang deep, and many buckets of mud have been dug up under the well.

The bottom of the well was padded with several layers of wooden planks, and three layers of wooden planks were nailed around the well to fix it, and the well was also surrounded by wooden planks.

The competitions at the Naadam Conference were still in full swing, and in the afternoon, Bars and Qin Liu also went to watch.

Bars signed up for women's archery for Qin Liu, but Qin Liu naturally couldn't, and was brushed off in the first round.

But there are prizes for participating in the event, and she got a small packet of yogurt sticks, and she was so happy.

By the time the sun went down, there was already clear water in the well.

The onlookers used buckets to beat the well water, it was clear and clean, the water temperature was slightly cool, Qin Liu scooped a scoop of well water and drank it, and nodded: "Cool and clear, sweet and delicious." ”

Everyone tried it and gave it a thumbs up.

"The water in this well is cleaner and clearer than the water in the lake!"

"That is, there is no miscellaneous smell, it is refreshing and sweet, and you don't have to run far to fetch water, which is convenient and clean."

"We have to learn how to drill a well, and when we go back, we can also dig a well, so that it is much more convenient to use water in ordinary times."

Qin Liu listened quietly to their discussion, thinking to himself that you have never seen tap water.

More and more people came to ask for advice on how to dig a well, and Qin Liu and Bars had to dig another well for demonstration.

It was busy until long after dark, when the people holding torches and asking questions gradually dispersed.

Old man Lou shook his head inexplicably: "The technology of drilling wells was available in the Central Plains as early as the Zhou Dynasty, why don't the grassland people know it now?" ”

Qin Liu was puzzled: "It shouldn't be, Genghis Khan's army is fighting half the world, so it's impossible not to dig a well?" ”

Old man Lou said: "In our Ming army, there are special soldiers responsible for digging wells and building thatched houses, and the Mongolian soldiers will not know about it. Maybe it's just that it's old and doesn't feel necessary, so it hasn't been popularized among herders. ”

Bars took over the conversation: "It's hard to get together the materials for drilling the well, and you have to move a few months after the well is finished, and the next year you move back and the well is dirty and needs to be cleaned, it's too troublesome, and slowly no one does it." What is Earth? ”

Qin Liu was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect that she didn't pay attention to it, and actually said modern words.

She thought for a moment and said, "We live on a round ball, and this ball is the earth. ”

Bars looked at Qin Liu thoughtfully.

Qin Liu was a little embarrassed and was about to propose to go back to rest, but Princess Tululetu came.

"Last night, Sumir, the favorite concubine of my father Khan, gave birth to a son, but he died this morning. Sumir asked the shaman to recall the child's spirit, and his father Khan agreed.

However, the shaman proposed to use 300 children to bury the little prince, Sumir cried, Yisima was oppressed by the prince, and his father Khan objected, and the shaman said that at least 100 children had to be burned to death for the burial, saying that this proved that the gold of the golden family's bloodline was expensive, and his father Khan agreed. ”

Bars, Qin Liu, and Old Man Lou were all taken aback.

The burial of a hundred children for a child who died at birth is also appalling!

Princess Tululetu looked at Qin Liu with earnest eyes: "We all know that this matter is too bloody, but Father Khan is determined to prove his iron fist, and Mother can't persuade him, you are Tengger's messenger, maybe you can represent Tengger to refute the shaman who is full of nonsense." ”

Qin Liu frowned.

Bars asked, "In the past, when a prince died, did he have to be buried with a living man?" ”

Princess Tululetu shook her head: "During the Taishi period, the descendants of the Golden Family were almost slaughtered, and the leader of a tribe with a different surname actually ruled the grassland, who would arrange for the living to be buried by the Golden Family?" His father was the only descendant of the Golden Family, and now that he has many sons, he has begun to emphasize the importance of the Golden Family's bloodline. ”

Bars asked, "When the eldest brother Tulu died, was there a living person to bury him?" ”

Princess Turuletu still shook her head: "Tulu went to Uliangha to question them about their renege on the alliance, and on the way back to the Khan's Court, he accidentally fell into a frozen lake and froze to death, and his father didn't say anything. Uliangha knew that he had been very peaceful all these years, and he tried his best to obey his father's orders. (End of chapter)
