Zaduo first put half a bowl of rice in his arms in front of the grave, and then put half a rabbit leg in it, and looked at the grave silently for a long time before he spoke: "Zamu, the eldest brother is going to lose his word, and I can't help you take revenge." ”

"Maybe you don't understand me, and don't blame me, because I know now that you're wrong."

"You don't know what happened after His Highness came down, all along, you thought that the Khan's general was very powerful, just like the eagle on the steppe, you want to be like him, so you went to serve as a soldier for the Khan's general."

"But then I learned that the eagle that really soars in the sky always looks into the distance, and his heart is as wide as open wings, which can contain the whole sky."

"Your general left you for his life and ran away, and you fought for him like a fool, and the moment I found your body and cremated you, I swore to avenge you."

"But when His Highness came down, I realized that I was like a rat on the grassland, I could only see the situation around my cave, and I never dared to go too far."

"You know what? After His Highness came down, he did not rob any herdsmen's cattle and sheep, did not rob any beautiful women, nor killed men taller than wheels, but let everyone go. ”

"Not only that, but in order to keep us alive, he also took the initiative to bring in countless grains, and then found a reason for us to help him work, in order to give us food so that we could survive."

"The shaman once said that the best way to save a man is to teach him to hunt, not to give him prey. And in order to save us, His Highness made us feel that we were relying on our own hands to survive, and he managed to help us find a lot of work. ”

"He also divided all the nobles' cattle and sheep equally among each herdsman, and he managed to find the seeds of pasture for us, and feared that our cattle and sheep would freeze to death in the winter because of the blizzard and could not find hay, so he sold iron tools and salt to us at a low price that we could not have imagined before."

"It's about making our lives better."

"And His Highness also said that he will not collect any taxes from us for the next five years, just so that we can get through this difficult time."

"So...... Zamu, I'm going to lose my words, and even if I don't just lose my words, I may have to fight for Your Highness in the future, Immortal Heaven is above, and the steel knife in my hand will be swung at all Your Highness's enemies. ”

"If you're still around, I'm sure you'll agree with me, right? After all, what you want to do most when you're alive is to never go hungry? And now we don't have to go hungry. ”

Speaking of this, Zaduo unscrewed the water bag beside him, then took a sip of it with a smile, poured some water in front of Zamu's tomb, and said with a smile, "Zamu, you may not know, we can eat meat almost every day now, that's right, we can eat meat every day, it's fish." ”

"But His Highness said, sooner or later, let us eat mutton all year round if we want to, we can eat mutton, I don't think that day will take long, because now the cattle and sheep are our own, after a few years, it's okay, you must be hungry, right."

"Don't worry, I'll tell you when that day comes. I'll bring you a bowl of rice and a rabbit leg today, don't be too little, this is what I saved yesterday, and I'll give it to you. ”

"I have to go, I'll come to see you again when I have time, Your Highness said that I would have a three-day holiday, but I think I'll hurry up and learn how to plow and plant pasture! Daddy, Auntie is fine, don't worry. ”

Standing up from the ground, Zado looked at the grave silently for a moment, then turned and left the place, and walked outside to the horses that were grazing on their own, and Zado turned over and galloped towards the village.

The forest was quiet again, and the chirping of insects and birds seemed to be more cheerful, as if they were also happy for Zado.

That's right, Zado's brother died in the process of fighting Datang, and it was Zaduo who carried his body back, cremated it, and then buried it.

The burial place is far away from the water source, because everyone who lives in the grassland knows that the water source is always the most important, and no one will let the corpse pollute the water source, because that will get the plague.

Not only the human body, but also the carcass of animals must be fished out of the water source and thrown out of the water if they are encountered, because if the cattle and sheep drink this water, it is easy to cause a plague, which is simply a disaster, even more terrible than a human disease.

These are the lessons that these nomads have learned over the course of their long lives.

Therefore, both the original Tuyuhun herdsmen and Turkic people are accustomed to cremation, and those with a little status will choose pit burial and rock burial.

Including the current Tubo is also the same funeral method, and water burial and other funeral methods are gradually changed by the prosperity of Buddhist culture in Tubo in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, but in fact, there are not many implementations.

Zado, who returned to the house, cleaned up, and after discussing it with his family, he went to find the hammer, and he was going to learn how to plow the land.

With the distribution of cattle, sheep and horses, the atmosphere of the entire Xizhou seemed to become scorching, as if everyone had become more motivated all of a sudden, and everyone was much more active in their work than before.

When Xizhou is gradually on the right track, next door Lanzhou (not the name of the city), Sanliu Village, early in the morning.

"Wang Tie is not here." Li Zheng's voice came from the entrance of the village, Wang Tie was a little stunned, but he still walked out of his yard as soon as possible and said, "I'm here, what's wrong with seeing Li Zheng?" ”

"Wang Tie, pass on the order of His Royal Highness the King of Qin." The front color of the inside is just spoken.

"Ah......" Wang Tie was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly wanted to kneel, but Li Zheng stopped him directly: "No need to kneel." Let your family out. ”

Although Wang Tie was a little puzzled, he still called out the people in the family, Wang Tie only had a mother-in-law, a son, and a daughter. Wang Tie's son, who is over 30 years old this year, is not very old, only ten years old this year, his daughter is only eight years old, and his mother-in-law is four years younger than Wang Tie.

After the family came out, Li Zhengcai said with a smile: "Today, there is Wang Tie, a villager of Sanliu Village, Liangzhou, Datang, who was a soldier of the Tang Dynasty, and in the four years of Zhenguan's war against the Eastern Turks, Wang Tie performed bravely in battle, and was a model for the Tang army. Today, the Tang Dynasty destroyed Tuguhun to establish Xizhou, and His Majesty of the Tang Dynasty remembered that Wang Tieli had military merits, and his life was more difficult. Therefore, His Royal Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty specially established a commercial bank to form the Datang service area, and specially hired Wang Tie's family as a member of the service area. ”
