Economic and Trade Song Dynasty

Qin Juan and the others waited outside until a person who was as dark as the grave guard came out and said a few words to the grave guard. The grave guard turned to look at Tao Hua and let them in.

After entering, Qin Juan realized that the people inside were different from the people they walked all the way outside, the inside was all dark...

Qin Juan roughly understood that perhaps these Jiao Yu people distinguished slaves and nobles by their dark skin, and those who were all in pitch black were those with official positions.

But is it burnt, or something painted on the body,

As soon as they entered the hall, someone yelled at them, and the tomb guard told them to lie down.

Taohua tugged at Qin Juan and told him to lie down.

After a prostrate salute, they were allowed to stand up.

At this time, a person with a high status came over, and the grave guard saluted him and told them that this person was one of their elders.

"Where are you from?" the elder asked them.

Taohua replied: "From Dali, I was arrested and sent to Yinshan when I was a child."

"Really?"

Taohua gritted her teeth: "That's true."

"I'll take you to see the clan elder, follow me." The elder glanced at them and said.

After the prostration ceremony, the elder asked them to sit cross-legged on the futon, waiting for the arrival of the elder.

The clan elder was already very old. He was helped out and sat down on the big futon in front of them.

Several elders surrounded them.

"They told me that you are from Dali and want to leave here, but we have Wang Xun." The clan elder looked at them and said.

The king who brought them here ordered before he died that no outsiders should be allowed to leave here alive, so they executed every single one of them as best they could.

Tao Hua looked at the clan elder and said, "I have no choice but to trespass. I just passed by this noble place and wanted to get out of it."

The old and hoarse voice of the white-haired tribe came: "Many people have been like you for a hundred years, and they just passed by here. I dare not take risks, because you know our existence, and I am taking the lives of the whole tribe to fight You bet. For thousands of years, how many genocides have occurred. We Jiaoyu people were driven out of Shenwu Mountain (Silver Mountain) by tribes from the place where the sun rises. We have lived here for hundreds of years. We just want to live. I can’t Let you go out, but Anuo, the tomb guard, has an agreement with you, we may not kill you if we keep the agreement, but you must stay here."

When Tao Hua heard this, the expression on her face changed, and Qin Juan suddenly felt that something was wrong again.

Gu Yue translated the clan elder's words to Qin Juan, and Qin Juan was silent for a moment, then looked at the clan elder and said, "You are here to live, do not contact the outside world, do not intermarry with foreign races, sooner or later you will be finished! And...if a powerful army comes here one day, you will also face death!"

The clan elder looked at Qin Juan, completely unaware of what he was talking about, but he took a few extra glances at the young man

Qin Juan didn't know whether he was angry or what, his cheeks were flushed, "Gu Yue, translate for him!"

Gu Yue was silent for a while, and translated what Qin Juan said just now.

The clan elder trembled with anger: "Nowadays there are thousands of people living here in the clan, how could the clan be extinct!"

Qin Juan continued, asking Gu Yue to translate. "You don't intermarry with outsiders. Sooner or later, more and more newborns will die in this clan, because the young men and women in this clan are almost blood relatives. You don't even know that you are so isolated from the world. Drink poison to quench thirst."

Upon hearing this, A Nuo, the guard of the tomb, immediately thought that it would be difficult for the newborn children of their family to support them in recent years.

Moreover, the witch doctor in the clan mentioned several years ago that men who wanted to enter here would be intermarried and the way of blood relationship would be changed.

The idea of ​​letting women in the clan conceive a child of a foreign man has met with strong opposition.They even wanted to execute the proposed witch doctor, and the matter ended with the witch doctor going insane, and the matter was never mentioned again

The tomb guard, A Nuo, prostrated himself on the ground, and told the clan elders what he thought. He felt that what these outsiders said was reasonable. Many of their children would not be able to support them. This was a blood problem.

Clan elder: "The children are not able to feed because of the plague in the past few years! Not because of other reasons!"

"..." Anuo, the tomb guard, lowered his head and dared not speak any more

Qin Juan wanted to say more, but Tao Hua suddenly grabbed his sleeve.

For some reason, the clan elder noticed Xiao Qu'er when he was about to leave.

He paused for a while and pointed at Xiao Qu'er, "Come here, that child."

Xiao Qu'er is very good-looking. Compared with when Qin Juan first met Xiao Qu'er, Xiao Qu'er is longer and more beautiful. She has loose, thick eyebrows, big eyes and pink carvings. Xiao Qu'er has slender eyebrows and eyes, fair skin and snowy skin. The busy life of fleeing for one's life has become much rougher.

Xiao Qu'er looked at these dark people with fear. Although he didn't show it on the face, he had recited scriptures countless times in his heart. He raised his head and saw the clan elder looking at him and talking. He couldn't understand him. was talking, but he knew he was talking to him.

Qin Juan didn't understand either, but instinctively blocked Xiao Qu'er with his body.

Xiao Qu'er is Huhu's adopted son, and no one can touch him.

Taohua paled: "Why make things difficult for a child."

Clan elder: "I let him come here, not to embarrass him, I will not embarrass the children, I like them before it's too late."

A Nuo, who guards the tomb, also reassured them that the clan elders would never hurt the children.

During their stalemate, Xiao Qu'er said: "Brother, don't worry about me, I'll be back in a while."

Xiao Qu'er stood up as she spoke, and walked in front of the clan elder

It is undeniable that Xiao Qu'er was terrified when the clan elder stretched out a black hand to touch his face.

He held back, and when he looked up, he saw only the old eyes of the clan elder. At this moment, he suddenly remembered the master he saw when he was very young.

Xiao Qu'er's eyes were filled with crystal clear teardrops.

Seeing this, the elder of the tribe suddenly withdrew his hand and sighed in a low voice: "You are a good boy, but I don't know how long it will take for the sheep to deny their lives. Tomb guard Anuo, take them down and stay here first. The Wangling will send you temporarily." disciples in the past."

The clan elder left, and Xiao Qu'er stood there blankly. For a moment, she missed Master very much.

"Little song."

Qin Juan stepped forward.

Xiao Qu'er turned her head and threw herself into his arms: "Brother, I miss Master so much, Master is still alive..."

He was just suddenly afraid, afraid that the master would not be here, so he wanted to give him to Father Huhu.

After all, he was the master who grew up with him!

"What are you thinking! How can something happen to Taoist Luo Sheng!" Qin Juanrou's stern voice came, so powerful.

Xiao Qu'er subconsciously hugged him even tighter.

Follow the tomb guard A Nuo to a place where there are three or five houses, and there are busy Jiao Yu people on the side of the road. Seeing the tomb guard A Nuo leading them over, they all put down their work and looked at them.

A Nuo, the tomb guard, took them into the house and let them live here. One after another, slaves came in and gave them food. Of course, all of them were placed in front of Xiao Quer

The slaves said that this was specially ordered by the clan boss.

I thought it was isolated from the outside world, and the food would be weird, maybe there were raw meat and lettuce, and the best ones were only half-cooked...

I didn't expect people here to grow wheat, have pasta, and grill the meat.

Gu Yue picked up a leg of lamb and looked at Xiao Qu'er: "Thanks to you."

Xiao Qu'er blushed, bowed her head and said nothing.

Tao Hua knew that they were all starving, so he tore the pancake into several pieces for Xiao Qu'er, and also tore the chicken meat into strips, and said with a smile, "Eat quickly."

While eating, Xiao Qu'er asked worriedly, "Taohua, how are your legs?"

"It's okay, just take a shower and deal with it later."

They ate everything in front of them like a storm and lay on the carpet. After eating, they felt a heavy sense of loss and crisis.

"What should I do?" Gu Yue asked him in Chinese.

Tao Hua: "Stabilize them first, and give them the illusion that we will live here for a long time."

Qin Juan was not in a hurry, because there was a human emperor in his body, and he could suppress the human emperor in this place. After he went out, he was worried that the influence of the human emperor would still be on him.

Why don't you settle the Emperor's matter while you're here?

"Xiao Qu'er, if you stay here, let us go out instead." Gu Yue said.

"No!" Qin Juan and Tao Hua said in unison.

Gu Yue froze for a moment, turned around and didn't look at them, he was just talking, what did these people take for real!

Xiao Qu'er squirmed over, leaned against Qin Juan, and hugged his waist: "Brother, I just realized that I forgot the last paragraph of the Yiming Sutra that Master taught me. I just couldn't remember it, and I couldn't recite it..."

Xiaoqu'er was very distressed, she hadn't memorized sutras for so long, she still remembered what she recited well before, and she started to forget what she didn't memorize well before

Qin Juan was embarrassed, he naturally didn't understand these things, so he couldn't help, so he could only comfort him: "It's okay, Master Luo Sheng won't blame you, if there is anything you don't understand, I will ask you Huhu Daddy later, Huhu will definitely know."

"Yeah, Daddy Huhu is amazing. Last time I asked him what is the ebb and flow, and the transformation of heaven and earth, I can understand as soon as he explained." Xiao Qu'er rubbed Qin Juan's face.

Gu Yue suddenly turned around and asked Qin Juan, "Who the hell is Huhu?"

The main reason is that he heard Huhu several times, and the first time he was beaten by Qin Juan for asking a question, so he is very sensitive to this name.

"It's my daddy." Xiao Qu'er said, she didn't remember how much she hated being called Huhu's daddy back then.

"..." Gu Yue, "I thought it was Qin Juan's lover, but I didn't expect Qin Juan to like a married man. Their children are so old, you like it too?"

Xiao Qu'er: "I am the adopted son of Huhu, my master lost to Huhu's father in chess, and sent me to Huhu's father..."

For some reason, even Tao Hua laughed out loud when she heard this.
