0126 [No way back]
The next morning, Niu Er had just finished washing up and was about to go out for activities, and by the way, to see what the habitat of this big family looked like, he saw the long-haired elder come over and call him to go out for a walk.
Niu Er didn't dare to slack off, so he followed closely behind the elder.
The two walked for more than forty minutes, and the old man didn't say a word, just walked in front like a guide.
During the period, the elders climbed a small hill and crossed the valley, and the elders' legs and feet did not show any sluggishness. Its flexibility and robustness do not seem to be weaker than that of young people.
The elder finally stopped at the edge of a Grand Canyon.
"The big leopard and their brothers brought you back from here last night. If I don't stun you, will you dare to come over yourself?"
The elder asked Niu Er as he pointed to two thin ropes that spanned the sides of the canyon.
Both ropes are slightly higher on one side and slightly lower on the other.
The rope that came out of the mountain was obviously higher on the side where the two were standing than on the opposite side. The rope used to come back into the mountain is obviously higher on the other side of the canyon than on this side.
According to Niuer's eye, the canyon should be at least fifty or sixty meters wide. As for the depth, because of the clouds and mist in the canyon, there is no bottom to be seen. Niu Er just looked down, and the two balls were immediately numb.
It's too dangerous.
The elder sat down under the root of a tree, and at the same time pointed to the grass beside him, motioning for Niu Er to sit down as well.
"When the three of them came back last night, the second one came over first. Then the eldest and third will tie you up over there, hang them on the rope and swing over, and the second will catch you here...... Do you think it's easy to get in and out of the mountain once, almost every time it's a gamble with your life? Especially with someone who's never been in or out of here, how risky you say you are. ”
Niu Er bowed his head and made a sound.
"We have a family of forty-seven people. All ages are counted as twenty-eight women and nineteen men. Four out of nineteen men were born with disabilities...... Do you know why?"
Niu Er remained silent.
Aunt cousin, aunt cousin and even the combination of close relatives of men and women who are closer in blood, Gu Lilai had already told Niu Er about it last night.
Last night, Niu Er couldn't bear the bravery of those strong village women, and after washing him clean, he wrapped him in a quilt, and two fierce women carried him, and walked all the way directly into Gullai's boudoir.
When he reached the boudoir, he threw him on the bed, and the women walked away. Then there was a bang, and the door was locked from the outside.
Niu Er couldn't cry or laugh. finally understood that he was a member of this family, and turned over the brand for Gullai.
However, although Gullai is very good-looking, and the place where she should develop is not much different from that of adult women, a child is a child. Her innocent and obviously not fully grown body bones, although Niu Er will inevitably have some thoughts when he sees it, but he really can't bear it, and he really can't do it.
But Gullai clearly knew that she had a responsibility to carry on the family's bloodline. As soon as Niu Er was thrown onto the bed, Gu Lilai took the initiative to lean over.
Niu Er was so frightened that he could only wrap himself tightly in the quilt and tell Gullai not to come and not to come near him.
In the end, Gu Lilai was forced to be helpless, so she told him about the affairs of the family. And told Niu Er that now outside the house, I don't know how many people are listening to the room. If two people don't do it tonight, they won't be able to run away tomorrow.
So Niu Er cleverly asked Gullai to call the bed, and he himself hummed and made a few movements once in a while.
However, after a few minutes, someone slammed the door several times, "You two don't make trouble." Niu Er will go to sleep in another room tonight and talk tomorrow morning. ”
It was the voice of the long-haired elder.
Then someone opened the door and threw Niu's trousers in. After that, Niu Er was taken to a single room.
"More than 100 years ago, my ancestors fled here to survive, a family of six. That is, a couple with four children, two men and two women......"
The long-haired old man began to tell Niu Er about his family history.
"It was the time when the Helan people in the west ruled Yizhou. They never regarded the aborigines as human beings, and soon provoked the rebellion of various aboriginal races in Yizhou, killing many Helan people. So the Helan people became even more violent, killing almost every native. ”
"According to the ancestors, the Pinan people at that time had a population of 50,000 or 60,000. By the time the six ancestors risked their lives to break here, the people of Sinan had been slaughtered, and there was not much left. After the defeat of the Helan people, Yizhou began to be ruled by the Yingzhou people. Once again, the Panan and other indigenous people are in danger of extinction. ”
Hearing this, Niu Er suddenly remembered a movie from another world. is the one that is respectfully known as "Brave Heart" made by Yizhou people. Niu Er's heart moved, and when the time is ripe, he might as well move this movie out. Its release must be more shocking than any song.
The long-haired elder continued to tell history.
"When the Yingzhou people ruled Yizhou, they began to brainwash the people of Yizhou itself. However, for more than ten years, most people in Honshu have worn the same pants as Yingzhou people. However, the indigenous people of Yizhou are constantly occupying their habitats and plundering their resources, and when their survival is facing a severe crisis, their resistance is even more fierce. ”
As a result, the Yingzhou people's more brutal suppression and massacre of the aborigines began again. The aborigines of dozens of ethnic groups were later slaughtered to the point that only eight or nine nationalities remained. It was these eight or nine ethnic groups, basically like us people in the south of the country, who hid in a desperate situation that was almost isolated from the world, and finally survived. ”
"We're okay here, because we have abundant resources, and no one has come in to rob us, so we've basically been free of food and clothing for more than 100 years. ”
"But most of the other Indigenous people are not as fortunate as we are...... At a time of desperation, I don't know where to take the lead, the various coming-of-age ceremonies of the aboriginal boys began to be unified into the "weeding ceremony...... This "out of the grass" ceremony is to ask the boy to cut off the head of a Yingzhou person and use it to worship his ancestors, so that he can be considered a real adult, and he can get married and join the fishing and hunting team. ”
"The weeding ritual has led to the emergence of many young heroes among the indigenous people. At the same time, their elusiveness not only makes the people of Yingzhou fearful, but also makes many people in the state panic all day long. Because some of the people in this state who work for the people of Yingzhou are also among these weeding ceremonies. So the Yingzhou people began to spread and eat the meat of the aborigines, and they would have the breath of the aborigines, and they could escape the hunting of the aborigines......"
As a result, the aborigines immediately faced the double encirclement and suppression of the Yingzhou people and the Honzhou people, and the population of each ethnic group became smaller and smaller. As a direct result, like our family, the marriage of children and grandchildren has become a serious problem. At the same time, there was a complete loss of trust in the rule of the people of Honshu. ”
"So not only did we not dare to move to the city, but we even had to keep going to the city to find outstanding young men and women to continue the blood of the people of Panan. Otherwise, in my generation, the people of Pinan may be extinct. ”
Niu Er thought for a moment and said, "Before I went up the mountain, I happened to have a contact with the governor......"
The elder immediately interrupted Niu Er.
"We'll talk about that later. I'll just ask you, do you hate Gullai?"
Niu Er shook his head.
"That's good. The first girl I got married here was only thirteen years old, and she didn't have any problems with having children. Later in life, his health and health were always good. Gullai is fifteen years old, and the monthly letter has been here for three or four years. If she doesn't marry again, what do you say if she has a relationship with a man in the family?"
Niu Er was frightened.
The elderly continue to increase their weight.
"Of the forty-seven members of the family, only three leopards are now able to risk their lives to enter and exit. It can be said that the three of them sacrificed their lives to get you in. As for the three of them going back and forth many times before, just to get to know you as a person, I don't know how much risk they have taken...... And we don't force you to put down roots here, just like I do......"
Niu Er was finally stuck in a dead end, and he had no way out.
