Chapter 5 The first experience of the barbarian village
Soon after Chen Ping'an went down the mountain, Jia Youdao knew from the conversation between the fat and thin two Taoist boys that Chen Ping'an returned to the Taoist temple in a panic and left in a hurry. Pen~Fun~ Pavilion pondered in www.biquge.info heart: "This kid shouldn't have discovered something, if it weren't for the favor I owe to the white bones, I wouldn't have sent this kid out." Originally, I wanted to win over and cultivate and deal with Ma Er's gang, tsk, but it's a pity. But it's not bad to be able to repay the favor of the white bone guy. Even if the master finds out in the future, he can only blame Ma Er's group, after all, it was Ma Er who told that kid to go down the mountain, and I gave him a lot of good things, so I can't count it on my head. ”
Just when Jia Youdao on the mountain was still thinking about the gains and losses of this calculation, Chen Ping'an, who had already gone down the mountain, also had his own plans at this time.
Chen Ping'an initially thought: "Anyway, Senior Brother, he didn't limit my time, why don't I go to a few villages first, pass on Senior Brother's words to them, and then find a secret place to hide and study the relics of the old monk." The first time I went down the mountain, even if I made some mistakes, at most I would eat a scolding was better than losing my life in a daze. But he thought about it again: "It's not appropriate, let's not mention that the senior brother has given me a lot of life-saving things." These are all my guesses, and I can't afford to do it if I can't do it then. Let's go to Jiaomanzhai first, it's always right to be more careful. ”
Chen Ping'an made up his mind, took out the map given by Jia Youdao and looked at it, and after a few thoughts, he chose a route that was easy to take and walked into the distance.
The path in southern Xinjiang is not easy to walk, due to a lot of delay, it is now the scorching sun, the jungle is very hot, and you have to be careful to watch out for all kinds of poisonous insects on the road. Although Chen Ping'an said that his qi training was effective at the beginning and his mind was deep, after all, he was still young and gradually became a little unbearable.
Just when Chen Ping'an was about to lose his unique style of southern Xinjiang, he noticed that there seemed to be breath fluctuations next to the rock in front of him. Chen Ping'an suddenly cheered up and drank: "Whoever is hiding there, come out quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind." After speaking, he patted the earthy yellow bag on his waist, and the crossbow given by Jia Youdao was already wound and held in his hand.
Xu saw Chen Ping'an's great change, and the person hiding in the grass next to the rock rushed out. Chen Ping'an was also startled when he saw the person in front of him. I don't know what he is gesturing in his hands, and I don't know what to say in his mouth. He wore leather armor and had a bow and arrow at his feet. The exposed parts of the face and body are coated with several colors of unknown dyes.
The strange man gestured for a long time, and saw that Chen Ping'an was still holding the crossbow in his hand, but he didn't react, and pulled out the bone flute from his neck and played it. Chen Ping'an: "This guy should be calling his companion." Anyway, I also have something from Jia Youdao, and I should be able to save my life in such a group of barbarians. ”
After a while, a well-dressed middle-aged barbarian rushed over with a small group of people, and after the leader looked at the Taoist robe on Chen Ping'an's body, his face changed greatly, and he bowed down and said in a respectful but jerky accent: "Barbarian greets the messenger." ”
The barbarian leader saw that Chen Ping'an's face was slightly softened, but he still didn't put down the crossbow in his hand, and continued to say jerkyly: "Please don't be suspicious, our Qinghe Village is not far from the Holy Mountain, and please move the messenger to the village and let me wait for a good hospitality." ”
Chen Ping'an put down the crossbow in his hand and said: "I didn't expect the Chinese language of the manqing leader to be good, and I was bored this day, so I went to your village to take a look, and by the way, I passed my senior brother's order to you, let's go! Manqing was also very happy to hear that Chen Ping'an was willing to go to his own village, and he ordered his subordinates to lead the way, and his own family was waiting beside Chen Ping'an.
Following this group of barbarians along the way, Chen Ping'an was also relieved. Although only the brute can communicate, it is much better than being alone. From time to time, there was the sound of barbarian gurgling beside him, and some of them pointed to Chen Ping'an, although it seemed to be hidden in the eyes of the barbarian himself, but it could be concealed from Chen Ping'an.
Chen Ping'an's face was calm and said: "Leader of the barbarians, what is the purpose of the barbarians under your command to keep pointing at me?" Manqing heard that he loudly reprimanded a few barbarians in barbarian language, and then explained to Chen Ping'an: "The envoy also please calm his anger, it is the first time they have seen such a young envoy, and you don't seem to know barbarian yet, so they are a little strange." ”
Chen Ping'an: "I see, so that the leader knows." I am a new disciple of Shizun, you can call me Chen Ping'an. This is also the first time I have seen this in southern Xinjiang. The brute leader has to teach me the customs of your barbarian village, but don't let me commit a taboo and make everyone unhappy. By the way, the previous envoys were all barbaric?"
Manqing did not doubt him, and said respectfully: "Lord Messenger, the previous Envoys would all speak Barbarian language. Messenger, you are the most honored guest, you are not polite in our village, we will welcome you with the most solemn ceremony. ”
Chen Ping'an nodded to express his satisfaction, and signaled Manqing not to disturb him, but his footsteps still followed them, but he was shocked in his heart: "Sure enough, Jia Youdao knew that I couldn't speak barbarianly, but he didn't bring it up when he faced Ma Er, and he didn't have any arguments, and I was so grateful to him." There is really no good person in this Yin Mountain. It's not good, Ma Laodao won't accept the three of me as apprentices, and he won't have any good intentions. Thinking of this, Chen Ping'an felt a panic in his heart.
There was nothing to say all the way, and Manqing saw that Chen Ping'an had no intention of speaking, and he didn't dare to disturb. The group walked for about half an hour and finally arrived at Qinghe Village. Manqing sent someone back to the village to inform the leader that the messenger on the holy mountain was coming. At this time, the village was very lively, and it was more exciting than the festival, after all, if there was no protection from the people of Maiguan, Qinghe Village would be able to survive.
The chief's Chinese language is much stronger than that of Manqing, "Honorable envoy, I am very happy to have your arrival, and I have prepared a grand welcome ceremony for you today. ”
Chen Ping'an: "The leader of the barbarian has a heart, I am very satisfied with you." For a while, the guests and hosts were happy, and the barbarian led Chen Ping'an to his seat and said to him: "The envoy must have come to worship this time, and it just so happened that we have prepared a lot." Come, first bring me my gift to the messenger. After saying that, she clapped her hands, and a barbarian girl came up with a tray.
Chen Ping'an saw the things in the tray and saw a few pieces of black ore neatly placed in it. Although he didn't know what it was, he didn't dare to fool himself, and suddenly showed a satisfied look and put them in the bag on his waist. But accidentally bumped into the barbarian girl, and saw the barbarian girl with a good face smiling playfully at Chen Ping'an.
After this battle, Chen Ping'an made a big red face. The barbarian girl laughed and ran out with a smile. Seeing this, the barbarian smiled and said, "The little girl is young, please don't blame the messenger." Chen Ping'an waved his hand again and again: "Don't blame, don't blame." Then he breathed a sigh of relief.
During the banquet, Manli deliberately guided Chen Ping'an's words, and naturally everyone was happy.
After everyone was lively, the banquet dispersed, and the brute said: "Presumably, the envoy does not want to be with us." Then he called his daughter over. "Ah Nu, you can accompany the envoy to visit our village. The barbarian girl responded to his father, and then went to pull Chen Ping'an, who was pulled out without noticing for a while.
Manqing said: "Chief, Yiping will be fine." "Although I'm old, I can't be wrong about people." This time the messenger is not like before. The smell on his body is very clean, otherwise I wouldn't have called Yiping out. ”
The barbarian girl dragged Chen Ping'an to the village, fortunately, Chen Ping'an had changed into barbarian clothes under the persuasion of the barbarians, otherwise it would be natural now.
The girl said: "My name is Zhang Yiping, what about you?" Chen Ping'an said: "It's good if you call me Chen Ping'an, hey, shouldn't you have the surname Barbarian?" Zhang Yiping: "I follow my mother's surname, she is a Han." My father liked her very much, and said that girls' names should be better, so my mother gave me this name. Peace, peace, your father and mother must hope that you are safe. ”
Chen Ping'an muttered: "The parents at home are kind, and they talk a lot before leaving." The Buddha bowed three times before him, bless me with peace. Thinking of the time in Qingniu Town, Chen Ping'an felt a little like crying.
Zhang Yiping: "Hey, Ping'an, are you reading the poems of the Han family? I understand everything, it's not as difficult to understand as in the book left by my mother!" Chen Ping'an was said this, and some sadness was dispelled in his heart: "What kind of poem am I, I write it blindly." You might as well take me to take a good look at your village!"
Zhang Yiping: "Okay!" After speaking, he took Chen Ping'an's hand and walked towards the pile.
I saw some barbarian women nitrating the fur of their prey, and there were barbarian children playing beside them, and the women occasionally laughed and scolded because of the children's disturbance. Some of the older children were helping to sort out the herbs, while others were starting to do simple exercises under the guidance of barbarian warriors. The whole village is thriving and full of vitality.
The two walked through the village, and from time to time someone greeted Zhang Yiping, and in the ridicule of some barbarian aunts, Zhang Yiping pulled Chen Ping'an to run into the distance.
Chen Ping'an: "What did they say just now, why did they run all the way." Zhang Yiping: "Didn't say anything!" Chen Ping'an did not doubt him, and said: "Is there anyone in the village who can make bows and arrows?" Zhang Yiping still lowered his head, and Chen Ping'an asked again helplessly. She hurriedly raised her head: "Oh, if you have a bow and arrow, Uncle Brute Bow will." He was the sharpshooter of the stockade, and he made his own bow and arrows. ”
Chen Ping'an took out a burst arrow from the bag on his waist and gestured: "In this case, he should be able to make such an arrow." Zhang Yiping said enviously: "Of course I can, but the patterns on it are difficult to do." Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Don't be envious, next time I will bring you a gift bag to thank you for your hospitality today! I don't need the pattern, as long as the style is about the same." ”
Zhang Yiping cheered: "Peace, you are not allowed to cheat, I will take the arrows and let Uncle Manbow make them, and I will return them to you tomorrow." After saying that, he took the arrow and ran away.
Looking at Zhang Yiping's back as she gradually moved away, Chen Ping'an smiled: "This feels good." Then he went back to find the man, and asked him to arrange a place to rest.
