Chapter 31 Worship Heaven and Earth I

Abigail led us towards the clearing on the side of the stone hall, and between the stone hall and the clearing there was a sparse and bald forest, and around this wood, we were greeted by the main cottage area of the Miro tribe.

If the place where we lived last night was like a deserted mountain with few people, then the main area of their cottage only felt as lively as coming to the vegetable market.

We followed Abigail to the vicinity of the clearing, where the sky was already boiling, and the hundreds of Miro people who had just come up were placing the prey of this hunt on the ground one by one, and the people of the tribe who came to greet them surrounded these people, and a group of people were talking and laughing in the clearing, greeting each other, and looking at the unicorns in the cage cart. The scene of the wolf clan gathering in groups to eat together is already extremely lively, but it is even more noisy than the wolf clan here.

I looked up. Not far from the clearing, clinging to the slope of the hill are the caves carved into the mountain wall, and I can't count how many there are, but I think these caves are all over the mountain, stretching upwards for most of the mountain. It seems that these caves are the places where their Miro tribe live, and each cave is very separated, and the entrance of the cave seems to have a small open space.

In the middle of these caves, a two-foot-wide waterfall cascades down from the top of the mountain, separating the caves into two halves, east and west. The waterfall is trickling, the white birds are circling, even if it is a rainy day, at a glance, it is indescribably magnificent and peaceful.

The Miro tribe is a medium-sized tribe in the Western Regions, and only by seeing this scene with my own eyes can I personally feel the difference between them and the Heavenly Wolf Clan, and the Nanla tribe cannot be compared. Only this tribal territory, the Miluo tribe is also worthy of being the overlord of this area, but if the imperial court wants to appease such a tribe, will it be a bit far-fetched?

I couldn't help but laugh when I found out that I had this thought. The pacification policy between the tribes of the Western Regions and the imperial court is handled by the people of the imperial court, and since Kangping can send Nagu here, they must have their own plans, and it is not my turn to talk about it.

There is a high platform directly in front of the clearing, and there are more than a dozen old men with white hair on the platform, looking at the lively open space below and pointing and laughing.

When they saw us coming, they all bowed down to Abigail. When the other clansmen of the Miluo tribe saw the patriarch, they all bowed down three times and nine buckles, and these dozen or so old men seemed to enjoy a high status in the clan, and did not bow down to Abigail. When we looked up, many of them were looking at us.

A Miro man moved a large wooden bench, and Abigail sat down, and at this time he stopped speaking the original dialect, and spoke the local dialect to the old men in front of us, as if they were negotiating.

I couldn't understand their words, so I could only stand honestly behind Na Gu, looking at the crowd in the clearing, trying to find the two Miro people carrying stretchers, but the crowd in the open space was crowded and mixed at this time, and I couldn't see the two people. The few Heavenly Wolf Clansmen who had just quarreled with the two guards in the stone hall also stopped talking and looked around cautiously.

Those two men must have carried the body and ran away to offer it to Bazar, right? If the body had been excavated by the Miro people, I would not have to hurry to find it, and I might see it again when I went to see Nazabar in the afternoon. I looked at the caves scattered all over the hill and thought to myself.

Towards noon, a bonfire was set up in the clearing. There were more than 1,100 people of the Miro tribe, and it was a spectacular scene for so many people to gather in this clearing, and dozens of children were already playing excitedly around the campfire. Their labor distribution is very orderly, the men carry firewood and wood, meat and wine, and the women wash the prey herbs, peel and remove mud by the waterfall, because they have to prepare a lunch for a thousand people, and a group of people are busy, but there is no messy appearance.

The barbecue technique of the Miro people is also very delicious. There are food condiments given from the imperial court in the wolf tribe, and the barbecue is quite delicious in the Central Plains, while the barbecue of the Miluo people tends to be primitive, there is no condiment matching, but the fine powder of the mountain herbs is used, and the meat quality of the roast is not only antique and fragrant, but also there is no lack of fresh and tender taste, compared with the primitive barbecue technique of the Nanla tribe and the Central Plains of the wolf clan, the barbecue technique of the Miluo tribe is even more unique, which opened my eyes.

During the feast, Nagu and Abigail and a group of other important people in the clan talked happily about their local language, and although I could not understand it, I could see that they were talking a lot. When I sat next to Nagu and ate barbecue, several men of the Miro tribe and a few people from the Sirius clan on our side wrestled with each other, originally we were visiting people, such a contest would inevitably make the hearts of those Sirius people feel cramped, but after a few competitions, they gradually let go, and after a wolf clan and Miluo people tried to wrestle, the two actually patted each other's shoulders to show friendship.

At the end of the feast, many men and women of the Miro tribe formed a procession and began to dance around the campfires, shouting strange voices like songs, and several Celestial Wolf Clansmen, who were a little drunk, also joined their ranks.

I have been sitting beside Nagu, drinking the turbid wine of their Miro. Their wine seems to be made from the Valley of Wild Grass, although the wine is not as sweet and mellow as the Central Plains, but it is also spicy, I was already a little drunk when I only drank three bowls, and I didn't dare to drink more later, and took small sips after sipping. However, Nagu drank a lot of wine, this time the Heavenly Wolf Clan came to visit the Miluo Clan, he was the leader, and the elders around him were looking for him to drink, and he was also a drinker.

Towards the end of the feast, a light rain began to fall. Abigail had to end the bonfire early, and he and two old men with white hair led me and Nagu to the top of the mountain, while the other Celestial Wolf people who had come with us were still laughing around the campfire, and they seemed to be getting more and more excited despite the rain.

Walking down a winding mountain road, I looked up. The light rain was scattered and as thin as a cow's hair, and it was not enough to wet my animal skin clothes, and the whole mountain was like a thin mist, hazy.

I followed the three of them, and Nagu burped and said, "Patriarch, why didn't you see the Great Witch come to dine?"

That Gu was thoughtful, and he seemed to be a little drunk, but I knew that his heart was very bright. At this time, he didn't speak the local dialect, and I am afraid that he was also thinking about me. Abigail's face was already a little drunk, and he put one hand on Nagu's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Dawu is used to being alone, and he doesn't like to be lively. ”

Seeing the two of them like this, I couldn't help but laugh. After a banquet, the two seemed to get closer. This is also due to Nagu's cleverness, we visited, he did not mention anything about the two clansmen who were killed by the python ghost boy when he came, and nominally only came to the Miro tribe to seek medical treatment. Although I also knew that Nagu was unwilling in his heart, in the eyes of a rough person like Abigail, it was enough for him to treat him differently.

Nagu followed with a smile: "The patriarch's kindness this time, I will keep it in my heart, and after I go back, I will definitely explain everything to the Liangmu patriarch, if the great witch can cure the Gu poison on my clan, my wolf clan will be grateful." ”

Abigail turned his head to me and said, "Are you very concerned about this people, who is he in your people?"

Na Gu said: "This son is just an ordinary clansman in my clan, just because he is suffering from Gu poison, if he is not cured as soon as possible, he may delay the migration of my department, so the Liangmu Patriarch and his subordinates are very worried." ”

At this time, the old man who had not spoken suddenly said, "Did the Great Song Dynasty really allocate territory for you?"

The old man was not tall, but he had a shrewd face, three red paints on his face, and many animal skin bags hanging from his animal skin coat. He can speak the original dialect, and when he had a bonfire dinner and he had a drink with Nagu, I heard him say something "lucky".

I only heard Nagu smile and said, "That's nature." The emperor of the Great Song Dynasty was generous and benevolent, and he had allocated me a piece of paradise in the Central Plains, just waiting for us to move over. ”

"How big is it?"

The old man seemed to be a little eager to know, but Abigail didn't say much, just looked sideways at Nagu, probably having this question in his heart. I saw Na Gu look up and look around, and said a little casually: "It's just a big place, the imperial court divides the territory according to the size of the tribe, like our Heavenly Wolf Clan, it is only an ordinary high-class village." ”

Hearing them say that, I couldn't help but prick up my ears. The Great Song Dynasty divided the village into five class households, which were determined according to the overall economy of the village, with the first, second, and third class households being the upper class households, and the fourth and fifth being the lower class households. Although the upper three households are equal, the territorial gap between them is not ordinarily large. According to the law of the Great Song Dynasty, 100 hectares of land is a first-class household, 10 hectares is second-class, and 1 hectare is a third-class household. Most of the lower class households are poor peasants, and the villages are far less rich than the upper class households, and the fields in the villages are also pitiful. Nagu only said that the imperial court had allocated the high-class villages to their Heavenly Wolf Clan, but did not elaborate on the number of first-class households, but even if it was a third-class household among the upper households, their Heavenly Wolf Clan had also been allocated an extremely considerable territory.

However, is the imperial court really willing to allocate a rich territory to the Sky Wolf Clan?

I looked at Nagu, and he was speaking calmly, still a little drunk on his face, and I didn't know what he was selling. But the old man and Abigail glanced at each other, the old man's eyes flashed, and he said, "In this way, the emperor of the Song Dynasty is really generous." ”

Nagu shook his head and said: "This is what the envoy appointed by their imperial court told us, after all, my heavenly wolf has not really moved to the Great Song Dynasty, and the specific territorial division is not very clear, but the Liangmu patriarch has sent the clansmen and the envoys of the Song Dynasty to explore, and I think I will know if it is true after I go back this time." ”

I don't know what he meant when he suddenly said something like that. Kang Ping asked him to come to find out if the Miluo tribe had the intention of surrendering, but his words seemed to be suspicious of the court and Kang Ping, and he seemed to have no score in his heart.

Abigail's voice was a little more free at this time, and he said, "Don't mention this matter to my Miro clan, sir, this place is not far from the Great Witch's Cave Mansion, I think it's better to meet him quickly." As he spoke, he quickened his pace and walked forward.
