Toast left angrily. Ziqi Ago's parents also got up, looked at us for a while, shook their heads and sighed, and left.

At this time, I held Ziqi Aguo and said, "Don't be sad, but anyone who follows me will be unlucky, I know you like me, but I really don't want to hurt you." ”

Ziqi Aguo stared at me with tears in her eyes and said, "Do you know that he, grandpa is going to burn you to the sky, in our village, but anyone like Broom Star will be arrested to sacrifice to the sky." ”

"Ahh

I sat down on the ground in shock, speechless for a long time.

I've never felt scared, but at this moment, it feels like the sky is falling.

She grabbed my hands and said with tears in her eyes, "What to do, what to do······"

I said, "I'll go and tell my grandfather that I'm marrying you, and those words just now were a lie to him······"

She said: "Do you know that people who tell lies will have their tongues cut off in our village, especially if you lie to the toast, I am afraid that you will have your eyes gouged out." ”

"Ahh

I exclaimed again, and at that moment, I saw her hand trembling. Not only was my body trembling, but my heart was trembling.

I trembled and said, "This, what kind of custom is this, so barbaric, no wonder we call you barbarians!" ”

She said: "This is to punish those who lie to us, to punish those who have no eyes, and we have other rules, if you break it, you will be cut off and your hands will be chopped off." ”

I said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier." ”

She said, "Who knew you would dislike me and talk nonsense. ”

I said: "I didn't dislike you, let alone talk nonsense, what I said was all the truth, the military chief and his sister you know were killed by me, and the third sister and the flower you don't know, as well as the rain, and the Lan of the same family, they were all killed by me." ”

She said, "I'm all your woman, and you still say these things." ”

I grabbed her hand and said, "You can let me go." ”

She said, "Let you go?" ”

I said, "Yes, let's elope together." ”

She said, "Do you think that my grandfather is the only one who governs this one village?" ”

I stared at her.

She said: "There are many such villages, do you think that all the people living in those villages are toast? No, they are the leaders, all of them belong to Grandpa, and they are governed by Grandpa, as long as Grandpa speaks, you can't escape. ”

I was silent for a moment and said, "We don't take the main road, you take me into the forest, and we escape from the forest." ”

She said, "Forest? It was a primeval forest that no one had ever been in and out of, not only tigers, black bears, wolves and wild boars, but also thorns, cliffs, poisonous snakes and leeches in the way, even I, a local, could not escape, let alone you, a foreigner. ”

I stared at her in amazement.

She looked at me for a while, and then said, "And you will get lost, and once you get lost, you will only turn into bones, so no one in our village has ever entered it." ”

I let go of her hand, stared at her and said, "Is there only one way I can be burned to death by your grandfather?" ”

She stared at me, hesitated, and said, "Actually, it's not the only way······

I immediately grabbed her hands again and said, "If I marry you, and we will marry, he will not be cruel to his grandson-in-law." ”

She threw away my hand and said, "You are wrong, how can he let you marry me if he sacrifices you to heaven?" ”

I said, "Go and beg him, beg him to marry you, and you said he would listen to you······"

I never thought she would murmur, "You're not worthy, you're not worthy of me, if you can live." ”

I stared at her incomprehensibly.

She stared at me, sighed, and said, "If you live, there is only one way." ”

I know that this road must be cut out of the tongue and gouging out the eyes, to be a cripple, how can a crippled man without tongue and eyes be worthy of the noble granddaughter of Tusi?

I bowed my head in despair.

It's tolerable without a tongue - I don't have many words. Without eyes, what's the point of my life!

Ziqi Ago looked outside.

I also looked up outside.

The sun outside is very good, and you can see the green hills far away, and the stockade on the green hills, and the land outside the stockade.

Ziqi Aguo suddenly said at this time: "Do you see the village in the distance?" The people and land in the village were conquered by my grandfather last year, and now they are our family. ”

I looked at the stockade, and the stockade seemed to be in the sky, and the stockade where Tusi lived seemed to be in the sky.

She murmured, "In that stockade there are ······ besides the chieftain and the freemen who have fields Slave. ”

I looked at the stockade and did not speak, feeling sympathy and sorrow for the slaves.

She murmured, "Slaves are not only found in that stockade, but in every stockade," and she stared at me and said, "We have them in this stockade too." ”

I stared at her without blinking.

She said, "Do you know what we call slaves? ”

I shook my head.

She said: "We have two kinds of Yi people, the black Yi and the white Yi, where the black Yi is the noble, that is, the slave owner, while the white Yi is the general term for free people or slaves. ”

I said seriously, "You're not black. ”

My words actually made her laugh, and she patted me lightly and said, "Who said that Hei Yi is black in complexion, and Bai Yi is white in complexion?" ”

I said, "Then why do you want to separate black and white?" ”

She said: "This is a division of identity, status, but also a division of wealth. 'Bai' is just like what you Han people say about self-made, in our Yi nationality represents no, people who have no land and wealth, of course, they are white. ”

I said, "I'm 'white' now." ”

She stared at me brightly and said, "If you want to live, you have to be a slave." She stared out and said, "This is the only way for you to live." ”

I never thought that the only way to live would be such a way; I never thought that she would say so much to me, just to make me a slave.

I finally understood why I didn't deserve her anymore.
