Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Yang Hao, who is not shallow
At the foot of Hengshan Mountain, in the valley, there is a Orion family. This is a small mountain depression, and there is a river outside the depression, winding north.The col is full of thorns and shrubs, and there is only one path that can turn into the valley. The forests in the valley are lush, and the huts are covered with vines. From a distance, they are mixed with the mountains and forests, and they are almost unrecognizable. It's the beginning of the year.Compared to the chaos of the outside world, this place is like a small paradise. There are three thatched huts, which are basked in the warm sun. Several hens are rummaging through the haystacks in the stone yard, looking for bugs. One hen has just laid an egg, fluttering its wings and croaking. Then, jumped down from the haystack, and walked away triumphantly. Hearing the crowing of the rooster, a woman came out of the room. The woman was wearing rough and simple Qiang clothes, all of which were plain, and the green cloth handkerchief on her head was also very old. The family situation is not very good.The woman is in her thirties, with a strong body, and her facial features are quite charming. Although her skin is a little rough and has shallow wrinkles due to hard work, it can be vaguely seen that when she was a few years younger, she must be very beautiful. pretty woman. The red-skinned egg just laid was very big, it should be a double-yolk egg. The woman smiled with satisfaction when she saw it, picked up the warm egg, and carefully put it in the basket hanging on the corridor. The man opened the door on the left and entered the house. In the room, Yang Hao was falling asleep drowsily, but was awakened by the crowing of the hen.He was having a high fever, and his consciousness was sometimes sober and sometimes drowsy. His whole body seemed to be trapped in a cloud, and suddenly he was blown straight up to nine nights by the wind, and suddenly fell to the ground quickly. The feeling of spinning was very uncomfortable. I quickly closed my eyes. The door opened, he felt someone came in, and then a crock pot was handed to the corner of his mouth, feeling the moisture of the water, Yang Hao opened his mouth subconsciously, drank it gulp, the cold water entered his stomach, and his body felt cooler , the consciousness was a little clear, and then a callused hand gently covered his forehead. "Well..., it's still burning very badly." The woman muttered, the hand slid from the hot forehead to the cheek, stayed for a while, then slid to his chest, gently pressed his strong chest muscles, the woman giggled: "It's a strong man The man is handsome, I don't know which family he is a soldier of, alas, he spends his whole day fighting and killing, just to make a living, what a pity, if I didn't save you, what a man, wouldn't it be The bubbles are thin..." The woman's eyes moved to his lower body again, and when she saw the small tent that was propped up high, her giggling laughter faintly carried a hint of smugness: "You are so sick that you are not honest, after all, are you young?" ..." Her face turned red, she bit her lip lightly, and that hand tentatively touched his lower body... "Xiaodong, Xiaodong..." A man's voice suddenly sounded, and the woman withdrew her hand as if electrocuted, and hurriedly left the room. Yang Hao didn't know her small movements, and felt that she had left, so he opened his eyes feebly. Yang Hao was skilled in martial arts, so logically speaking, he was no worse than those soldiers. Most of those soldiers were rescued ashore.In any case, Yang Hao shouldn't be unconscious and wandering until now. Unfortunately, after Yang Hao jumped off the cliff, he paddled the water desperately to prevent himself from being washed away, and shouted at the cliff to encourage his brothers to jump off.Xiao Yu arranged his own soldiers behind him, and when he was yelling, he deliberately crowded forward and squeezed out a group of people.Poor Yang Hao had no roots under his feet, he couldn't avoid it, his forehead was bumped by a rotten wood held by a soldier, so... Marshal Yang fainted... Yang Hao, who was in a coma, went down the current, crossed the pontoon bridge, floated into the fork channel, and finally floated along a small tributary to this mountain depression. If it wasn't for this woman named Xiaodong who was washing clothes in the stream, she happened to rescue him Come up, he has become a water ghost at this time.However, although his people were rescued, he had been immersed in the water for too long. After the flood, the river was so cold that his body was soaked for such a long time. In the body, the external heat induces the internal fire, and once the fever is out of control. The woman turned into another room, put her hands on her hips and shouted, "Wor Niu, what do you call me when I go out so hard?" I only heard the man's voice say: "Xiaodong, our family's life is miserable, it's hard enough, how can you save a free eater?" The woman said: "Then let's die?" She sighed, entered the room, sat down on the edge of the kang, and said, "Worniu, I've made a plan to keep him, what do you think?" "Leave?" "Well, although his robes are tattered and out of shape, it can still be seen that he is a soldier, so he still has a sword on his body. Isn't it just to have a meal to eat when a soldier is a soldier? Bitter is harder, at least you don’t have to risk your head, I’ll figure it out, tell him, and he’ll agree.” The man became excited: "I knew it, I knew it, you didn't make a good idea when you rescued a strange man back, good! Good! You're going to give up, don't you..." There was a slap in the house, as if someone had been slapped, and then the woman rang out with some anger: "Worniu, I lost a man when I was twenty-three, and you used a bear After the skin exchange, I married you two brothers. Originally, your brothers were well-known hunters, and your family background was still rich, so it was not wronged me, but the next winter, the leopard you hunted took off its cover and killed it. Your brother, you have bitten and crippled your legs. We are getting worse day by day. Who has worked so hard to support this family for more than ten years? If I were that kind of ruthless woman, I would have left long ago. Where are you going after me?Even now, with my mother's appearance, are you worried about getting married?I just can't bear to leave you.But now that you have bad legs and feet, you can only set traps and traps up and down the nearby mountains. What prey can you catch?How are we going to live without bringing a man into the house, don't you think? " The man fell silent, and the woman said again: "Besides, your two brothers, who are as strong as bears, didn't let me have a son and a half daughter. When we grow old and have no one to rely on, will we still have a way to survive? If he If you are willing to stay, isn’t our family a bit rushed?” The man just fell silent, and the woman sighed, and said again: "Don't worry, a husband and wife are a hundred days old, no matter whether you are paralyzed or crippled, I will not leave you alone, but With me as a woman, this family can't survive..." The woman began to cry while talking, and the man let out a long sigh: "Xiaodong, don't cry, I'm the one who's sorry for you. Well, then... let him stay, huh?" The woman cried for a while, and said: "I'll go to the mountain to see what kind of prey you caught in the trap you set yesterday. By the way, I'll gather some herbs for him and boil five eggs in the pot. When he wakes up, you can give him Send it over, I see that he is in good health, if he is willing to eat, the disease will be cured easily." The man hummed naively, the door squeaked, and the woman walked out. Yang Hao could hear it intermittently, but the house was not soundproof at all, he still heard the conversation between the two clearly, his eyes immediately became straight... Yang Hao knows that in the Hengshan area, various ethnic groups live together. If you look at some things from the perspective of the Han people in the Central Plains, it may be shocking to the world. However, in the bitter cold area of the Northwest, due to the harsh living environment, some things that are unreasonable in the Central Plains are common in the local area. Very, like polygamy. Some tribes in Hengshan area are monogamous, some tribes are polygamous, and some deep mountain tribes are polyandrous, polyandrous families, some brothers share wives, and some friends share wives.Brothers sharing wives is a custom that after the eldest brother marries a wife, the younger brother can also live with his sister-in-law. This phenomenon is mainly due to the poor family and cannot afford to marry a wife. In such a family, the eldest brother is the husband, no matter who the child's biological father is, the children call the eldest brother their father, and call their younger brothers uncles, even if this younger brother is their biological father.The head husband represents the family externally and makes decisions internally, so the status of the parents and the eldest son is clear. Another situation is that friends share wives. Due to the lack of labor force in the family, they cannot maintain the survival of the family. Therefore, a man must be recruited to form a family with wives together to maintain their livelihoods. side cover. The status of a woman in a joint-wives family is relatively high. As long as the woman is smart and capable, her family life is arranged properly, and her husbands can get along with each other in harmony, she is a virtuous and capable wife. If her husband discriminates against her, she will admire her ability to manage the house. It sounds like this family is indeed suffering a bit, and this kind of custom also exists in the local area, so although the Orniu was a little reluctant, he didn't have any reason to refute his wife, so he could only agree. After Yang Hao heard the story clearly, he couldn't help being a little bit dumbfounded: "Remnant soldiers? Recruiting? I didn't expect that I, Yang Hao, are quite popular..." Laughing at himself, he worried about his own army again: "Now Li Yide must have got the news that Zhe Yuxun's army should have rushed to Wuding River, and they should be able to withstand Li Guangrui's attack together. Crazy counterattack. Next, panic and despair should spread in Li Guangrui's army. I hope they can seize the opportunity and completely defeat Li Guangrui. At this point, Li Guangrui should never be able to recover. I have to... I have to recover from my illness as soon as possible and rush back, um...maybe, my people will come to find me in a day or two, what is this place?" Thinking drowsily, a sense of tiredness made his eyelids heavy again.Either way, he knew he had been rescued, and for now... he was safe.Feeling relieved, Yang Hao fell asleep again...
Jian Ma let out a long neigh, fell to the ground slumped, foam was spitting out of the horse's mouth, seeing that it was not going to be done.Fortunately, Zhou Nvying was good at riding, and she was not thrown out. However, after galloping that night, her thighs were sore and limp, and the inner thighs seemed to have worn off the skin, which was burning. It took a lot of effort to jump away . Xue'er in her arms was crying all the way, she didn't wake up after being shaken like this, she was still falling asleep, Nvying felt relieved, looked around, then staggered along the foot of the mountain. There was chaos in the city last night. The driver of her car was hit by an arrow, and the car lost control and deviated from the brigade. Immediately afterwards, the horse was hit by the arrow and ran wildly. As a result, it was crowded out of the south city by crowded refugees. After leaving the city, it ran a long way. When his energy was exhausted, there was no one to chase him with a whip, so he walked slowly on the road.Not long after, Li Jiyun's rebellious soldiers in the city were chased and killed by Ding Chengzong's men. Those soldiers were burning, killing and looting in the city, and suddenly another "Khitan" army came. Go and run for your life. The fleeing soldiers went their separate ways, in groups of three or in groups of two.Two of the soldiers panicked and fled southward along the main road. They were relieved when they heard that the horseshoes of the pursuers were getting thinner. At this time, they saw a carriage appearing in front of them. Gorgeous, expected to be a wealthy family, suddenly became greedy again. These soldiers broke up and didn't want to find the general to gather anymore. They just wanted to grab some property and go their separate ways. Naturally, more and more property was plundered. I didn't want the two soldiers to take a look inside the car with torches, but they didn't see gold, silver and jewels. Instead, they saw a lively and beautiful woman, they probably had never seen such a beautiful woman in their life, they were overjoyed immediately, carrying the gold and silver treasures looted from the city, and there was another stunning beauty in front of them. It's serious to find a place to have fun by yourself, to fight what the hell. The knight on horseback was about to come to snatch him away. When Nvying saw the ferocious appearance of the two warriors, she was so frightened that she couldn't think of resisting. sat there.Unexpectedly, the samurai saw her holding a child in her arms again, but suddenly became malicious. He snatched the child and wanted to throw it to death. Nvying was so frightened that she had no power to resist. Taking it away and throwing it away fiercely, the calf-protecting motherhood suddenly broke out, but she burst out with infinite courage all at once. Nvying didn't even think about it, the lost strength and agile movements suddenly returned to her body, and the "fox tail" wrapped around her wrist protruded out like a spirit snake, entangled Xue'er who was crying and rolled back to herself As soon as he was hugged by his side, he leaned out of the car, swung his whip and whipped it down again. The female heroine tigress is really powerful. Under the guidance of a famous teacher, her whip has already become a bit hot, and a small tree with a thick wrist can be cut off by her whip, let alone people, and the darkness of the night is so strong. The shadow of the whip was hard to distinguish, the two soldiers held knives in their hands, but they couldn't deal with such a weapon that was soft and hard, could be long or short, and its position was extremely tricky. One soldier was blinded in one eye and panicked. While fleeing, the other was wrapped around the neck with a whip and strangled to death. Nvying killed someone, she herself was startled and frightened, paralyzed on the ground unable to move, until Xueer woke her up by crying, she didn't know how many enemy soldiers would be chasing after her, so she instinctively wanted to escape.Although she can't drive a chariot, she can ride a horse. In the legacy of the Tang Dynasty, few wealthy ladies can't ride a horse, so she tied Xue'er in her arms with a ribbon, and wanted to use the dead soldier's horse to escape. Turning on the horse, she realized that her dress was too eye-catching, so she took off the coat of the dead soldier and put it on herself. For a while, she had no time to observe, so she got on her war horse, deviated from the official path and fled until the horse ran to death at the foot of this unknown mountain. Although Nvying could ride a horse, she had never ridden such a fast horse before. Her legs were so tired that she staggered for a while, but she was so hungry and thirsty that she had no energy. I couldn't help being overjoyed, turned around the foot of the mountain, and saw a stream in front of me, so I ran to the river, drank water, washed my face, and then sat down by the river to rest. Xue'er woke up from hunger, opened her small mouth and began to cry loudly. While crying, she burrowed into Nvying's arms. Seeing this, Nvying felt sore, but she didn't have milk, how could she let the child breastfeed? She rummaged around on her body, took out a few steamed buns, chewed the steamed buns thoroughly, and gave Xueer to eat bit by bit. Xueer was used to milk, so she just hid her mouth here and there at first, but she was so hungry, seeing that there was no sweet milk to eat today, she had to cry a few times in protest, then obediently gave in, and ate Got batter. Anyway, after feeding Xue'er, Nvying ate half of the steamed buns and couldn't eat anymore. Looking at the young child in her arms, thinking about the loss of Yinzhou, the horse was exhausted, and she came to this deserted place. In the countryside, I didn't know if I could walk out with only one pair of legs, so I couldn't help crying sadly: "Little girl, the godmother's life is hard enough, but I still have to live a rich life for twenty years, your little one!" Why did you suffer so much at such a young age?" Nvying pressed Xue'er's little face, crying and saying something, the more she cried, the more desolate she became.At this time, Xueer, who was ignorant of the world, was full and snuggled into her arms but fell asleep sweetly.Nvying was sad and panicked in her heart, but looking at the innocent face in her arms, this cute baby now depends on her to have a chance of survival, a burst of courage suddenly arose in Nvying's heart. All along, she has to rely on others to take care of her. The beautiful and charming Xiao Zhou is just a vine attached to men and power. Her life path depends on others to arrange, and her fate depends on others. Such a life. But this time is different. In her arms is a child who is not familiar with the world. Her life and death are completely tied to Nvying. From watching her born to today, the two of them have spent the longest time together. The mother's affection for the child is by no means thinner than that of Xue'er's biological mother.The power of motherhood, the idea of keeping the child no matter what, made Nvying firm up again, and the green vine became a small tree, and she had her own will and ideas. "Xue'er, the godmother will definitely take you out and return you to your parents, definitely!" Nvying gently kissed the child's small face, put her back into her arms, tied her tightly with a belt, and imitated the way soldiers in Yinzhou marched, tearing off the cloth strips from her clothes, and carefully wrapped them on her calves. He put on his leggings and continued on his way along the river. In the past few months in the northwest, she has somewhat understood a truth: "The water source on the grassland is very precious, so if you walk along the water source, you will definitely find a place where human beings live together, and then you can find a way out!" Surrounded by a vast expanse, either in the wilderness or in the high mountains, Nvying no longer hesitates, no matter how long the road ahead is, as long as she still has a breath, she must go out.At this moment, her spine was straightened. But... this stream is not too big, can we find a place for human life ahead?
