The Yunwu Mountains in Hepu County, Jiaozhou, look like a blue dragon shrouded in white mist in the cold winter rain.
The pattering raindrops hit the evergreen broad-leaved shrubs, the wild ferns, and the twisted vines on the top of the cave.
"I've said it many times, Ah Wen, you have to boil the water before you can drink it." Cheng Shi, the woman doctor, was cutting wood while ordering an indigenous boy with tattooed face unceremoniously.She is the best speaker of indigenous languages among gynecologists, and she is even faster than Liu's in learning various dialects.
The young man named Awen put down the clay pot awkwardly, first called "Doctor Cheng" in Chinese, and then argued in local dialect: "It's rainy and wet, so you can't make a fire."
Cheng has already peeled off the wet skin on the dead branches.She beckoned and called two women also in white coats to dig a log for fire.
After 10 minutes of tossing, the fire of the women's doctors finally started, burning blazingly under the water tank.The firelight illuminated the shadowy walls, casting shadows of humans large and small on the moss-cleared rocky ground.
The warmth and dryness attracted the children, and immediately there were little girls and boys tentatively leaning towards the fire.Cheng and Liu began to put mushrooms, vegetables and pieces of meat into the boiling kettle.Accompanied by the aroma of food, the children swallowed their saliva one after another.
Men with fur only around their waists, with strange patterns painted on their upper bodies and faces, stood by with sharp wooden spears.They are not as tall as the Central Plains men, but their muscles should not be underestimated.
"You Han people are really extravagant." An old voice came from the depths of the cave, "You have to boil the water before you drink it. Even children have to eat meat every day. Every three days they have to bathe in the water."
Mrs. Cheng was young and energetic, and good at speaking, and immediately responded: "Grandma, I have said it many times. There are many insect eggs in your southern water, and you will easily get sick if you drink it directly. Whether you take a bath or eat meat, it is all for your health. , It has nothing to do with extravagance. I'm just surprised, like you, you live in a damp cave in winter and sleep with mosquitoes in summer, wouldn't many people die of illness?"
"Hey." Mrs. Liu hurriedly pulled her back, and turned her head to shout inside: "Grandma, this child grew up in a women's hospital and has never suffered. Don't be angry when you speak without restraint."
"Ha, haha, cough, cough, cough." The old man deep in the cave coughed violently, "You Han people's life is precious, cough cough, our people in Dashan, if you get sick, you will suffer, if you can't survive it, you will die. Cough cough, Hahaha."
The gynecologists didn't know how to answer this question, so they could only huddle together cautiously, observing the surrounding native warriors nervously.
The water was already boiling, bubbling and bubbling.
"Doctor Cheng." Suddenly a child shouted, "Is this safe to eat?"
Everyone around seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
Cheng stood up and took out a pottery bowl from the banana leaves wrapped in layers: "The food is shared. Line up according to age from young to old, and no one is allowed to grab it!"
Just such a bowl, all the children take turns to use it.It's just that the last one is used up, so you have to wipe it with a clean banana leaf before passing it to the next one.
"You guys are really particular." The old man said again, "When we were rich, every household in the tribe had pottery bowls, so it's not like now..."
Starting with "Our ancestors were also rich", it often takes a long time to stop.Especially when the narrator is an old man, it's even more hell mode.
According to the old man, this small tribe originally lived in the deep mountains in the central part of the South Island.But because they failed to compete for territory with nearby tribes, they fled to land.A group died during the fight, a group died when crossing the sea, and a group was captured by the Han people after landing. Another casualty occurred when they collided with the local residents in the remote mountains where they were not familiar. Later, malaria broke out. .
There used to be witch doctors in the clan, but they died at the beginning of the fight, so there was no way to rob the doctors of the Han people.
Speaking of this, Mrs. Cheng became angry: "You still say that the natives are trustworthy. Ah Wen, I saved you with good intentions, and this is how you repay me?"
Indigenous boy Awen: "..."
"I promised well at the beginning, not to say that we will cure malaria. The result is good, stealing people? You feel your conscience! Ah Wang's cold and Ah Xie's leg injury, I blame you , " Cheng's teeth itched with hatred, "If I show kindness indiscriminately, I will die a bad death."
Mrs. Liu hurriedly patted her on the back: "Don't say a few words, you are still on someone else's territory."
Ah Wen was scolded by Mrs. Cheng every day, his ears were callused, and he couldn't get angry: "Doctor Cheng, can you stay in our tribe?"
"what?"
"Doctor Cheng, I will build you the kind of house you mentioned. There is a firepit in the house, and you wash your hands before eating every day. You can stay and see a doctor for us."
The adults suddenly roared with laughter. "Awen, your kid has a good idea." "Doctor Cheng, how about it, you just stay."
Mrs. Cheng seemed to realize something, and hid behind Mrs. Liu with a "bah".
Most of the ethnic minorities in Jiaozhou retain the matrilineal clan tradition, and the status of women is generally higher, which is the main reason why women doctors are not violated by the opposite sex.However, this tribe, whose population has just been greatly reduced, has a very strong willingness to marry, especially Han women who have mastered advanced technology.
Mrs. Liu blocked Cheng's. "Why did Ah Cheng stay here, and you didn't follow us down the mountain?" Mrs. Liu found another way to persuade Ah Wen, "You can go back to the women's clinic with us, where you can wear clean clothes and eat clean meals, and you don't have to share a pottery with others. Bowls are convenient for making a fire whenever you want, and you can read and write."
"We are the people of Dashan." The old woman, the leader, suddenly said, "If you leave the mountain, you will lose your roots and can only be slaughtered. Don't waste your words, we will leave here, but that is to return to Dashan in the south. Go to the island and take back our homeland."
As night fell, humans fell asleep, but the rain continued.
The sound of the rain concealed the sound of the Chinese troops approaching the cave.The raindrops fell on Nianqi's steel knife, and fell directly along the smooth surface of the knife without any hesitation.
"Are you sure it's here?" He asked softly in fluent Lingnan dialect.
The half-tired guide next to him curled up on the ground and nodded repeatedly.
Nianqi squinted his eyes, stared at the black hole, and licked his lips lightly.He followed Dalang to kill wolves, bears, and traitors.As Da Lang said, the master is too kind, and they will become the master's knives to protect her way from being polluted by dirty people.
Qin Liu sat on a branch with a leaf in his mouth and imitated the chirping of birds: one long, two short, another long, then two short.It was a little risky for him to do so on a winter night, but fortunately, a figure in white appeared directly at the entrance of the cave, it was Mrs. Liu.
From a distance, she can be seen gesturing, with three in her left hand and seven in her right hand.The left arm keeps drawing circles in the air.
Nian Qi and Qin Liu jumped up at the same time.
"The other party is not on guard, go."
No wonder the master said that cryptography is a good thing.
Three hundred Han Chinese armed with iron weapons fought against 37 indigenous armed forces of the old, weak, sick and disabled.
As soon as Awen was awakened by the sound of footsteps, he picked up the wooden spear and jumped up, when he was hit hard on the ground, and there was a sharp pain of dislocation on his left shoulder. "Hey, a half-baby." He heard someone say, "It's cheap for you. When you meet me, I have always been soft-hearted towards children." Immediately afterwards, there was a more severe pain in his right shoulder.As soon as Awen's eyes went dark, he fainted from the pain.
Before losing consciousness, he smelled blood.
It wasn't until the spring breeze brought warmth that Ah Wen knew that the person who spoke was Qin Liu, the most unpredictable of the three giants in Shenyang and Hong Kong.
"Qin Lang, are you really planning to go to Zhuya County?" Shi Yi walked over from the bow of the boat, "Why bother? Cangwu, where my family is located, still has a lot of good land, so I just sell some of it to you. I don't like Cangwu. Wu, the prosperity of Panyu is the most prosperous in Jiaozhou..."
Awen watched them talking in Mandarin with half curiosity and half fear, but he could only understand a few sporadic words.
Qin Liu handed over helplessly: "We have always been grateful for the kindness of the Jun family. But the master once said that it is difficult for such a friendship to last long if you rely on others unilaterally. We look forward to watching and helping each other with you in the future. It has to be done in a rough way.”
The scholar couldn't persuade him when he saw it, so he couldn't help sighing: "Tian Lang said that your chance is better than him, and I believe it now. Although your master is the second son of the branch migration, with your help, he wants to open branches in Lingnan. Ye Dingran is not difficult. It would be unwise not to help Han Xin with a meal when he was down and down, and I sigh for it."
Qin Liu smiled: "Shi Shi helped us find Mrs. Liu and sent us to the island by boat, which is already a great kindness in itself. When the first season of rice is ripe this summer, I will invite you to have a dinner on the island. Please don't reject our wishes."
There was another courteous exchange between each other, and the remains of the port on the South Island could be seen from a distance.
The port has been abandoned for some time, and underwater safety cannot be guaranteed.The big ships of the Shi family did not dare to dock, and only put down the small rafts, which were transported until the afternoon, before all the people and supplies were delivered.
Fortunately, Jiang Ai, Yan Wen and others had first recruited the Han survivors on the South Island, and confirmed the location of the camp in the original Zhuya County, which saved the new immigrants from the embarrassment of staying overnight at the port.
Qin Liu stayed at the end, bid farewell to Shi Yi, and then patted Ah Wen on the back to signal him to get up: "Let's go, I have fed you with good food and drink for a month, and I didn't force you to do anything except memorize the house rules and clean the house .Why do you look listless?"
The more kindly he spoke, the more Awen's shoulder ached. "well."
"You know I take good care of you. If you do well, I'll apply for a house where you can live with your wounded uncle."
"it is good……"
Awen's listless look made Qin Liu squint his eyes: "What is the second rule of the house?"
"Uh, there is zero tolerance for anyone who betrays, regardless of the reason."
The corner of Qin Liu's mouth curled up: "I like obedient children like Ah Wen the most."
The author has something to say: Qin Liu has always been a black man.When the orphans first arrived in Qiao County, some people wanted to run away, Qin Liu deliberately encouraged them to run away, and then those people directly GG.
The pattering raindrops hit the evergreen broad-leaved shrubs, the wild ferns, and the twisted vines on the top of the cave.
"I've said it many times, Ah Wen, you have to boil the water before you can drink it."
