This is the first time Yun Yanhui has seen a scapegoat who is even more unlucky than himself. Imperial Physician Wang stood there with a look of daze and grievance on his face. Although he could not understand the Miao language, he could feel his emotions.
At this time, Zhou Huilin also got up. He took a slow step out. Seeing that Imperial Physician Wang was about to be submerged, and his coat was not on, he rushed up with a stride, separated the people with his arms, and roared: "Presumptuous! What are you doing!"
The Miao people were silent for a moment, and then there were louder accusations.
Zhou Huilin really wanted to use violence to solve it, but this place was no different than Bianjing, it was someone else's territory, so he could only protect Imperial Physician Wang and roared a few times. Soon, he discovered that this was useless, and he couldn't stop so many people by himself, "Yun Yan Hui, Yun Zhufeng!"
Yun Yanhui originally wanted to go over to relieve the siege of Imperial Physician Wang, but Zhou Huilin took the lead and saw how he was going. Who knew that he would be defeated after only roaring twice, and the language was not clear.
Yun Yan walked back and said in Miao language, "It's unreasonable to make trouble. Before Shishan took the medicine, the chieftain agreed and read the medicine. If there is really a problem, wouldn't she know?"
The Miao people hesitated for a while and did not speak. They are relatively upright and reckless, but they are not fools. If they follow along at this time, wouldn't they be questioning the ability of the chieftain
Alas, this young man is obviously a Miao, but he has become cunning as he mixes with the Han!
Yun Yanhui took out the rest of the medicinal materials and showed them, "You can test it, these are all good medicines, someone should recognize this doctor, but he treated our emperor and killed people. , he himself is more sad, will he ruin his reputation?"
Yun Yan continued to speak, and the more everyone listened, the more they felt that it was not that the young man was cunning, it might be the case.
Didn't the chieftain also say at the time that the gods were going to take Shishan away, maybe it was just this doctor who bumped into it. The people the gods want to take away cannot even be saved by the doctor who treated the Han emperor.
After calming down a small disturbance, Yun Yan went back to find Shi Meilan.
She was busy coaxing the little tiger, so she probably didn't have time to take care of the commotion outside. The little tiger couldn't wake up his father. Realizing that the death everyone said had come, he wept bitterly for a while.
Shi Meilan laboriously explained to him that "death" is not the end, and his father's soul will live on every grass and tree in the stockade.
However, it was difficult for Little Tiger to listen to this theory for a while.
Because the little tiger was crying non-stop, Shi Meilan had to hug him and murmur a few times before the little tiger slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep. Shi Meilan put him aside, and then said to Yun Yanhui and the others, "I had expected it for a long time. He would be taken away by the yin gods. I'll take you down. I'll give him a ride."
The Miao people believe that there is still a soul and consciousness after death. Shi Meilan will be buried for Yun Da according to the customs of the Miao people.
Before the burial, Yun Da was going to rest his body for three days, and Shi Meilan personally beat the drum with a small leather drum.
Someone told Yun Yanhui that she would not sleep for three days and three nights, but kept beating drums in the hall, and sang sacrificial songs when she was buried. She was both a relative of the deceased and a priest.
Yun Yan came back to make up his mind, and would not leave until Yun Da was buried in the ground.
Yun Yan returned to help Shi Meilan, who presided over the funeral, to bring the little tiger for a few days. After three days, the little tiger was sad, but he accepted his father's departure and did not shout for him to wake up.
When it was time for the burial, the people in the stockade lined up in a long line, carrying Yun Da's body up the mountain. Yun Yanhui and the others didn't have to go to see each other, but Yun Yanhui still followed behind the team.
As soon as Yun Da died, only Yun Yanhui knew his identity. He sighed with emotion about what happened to Yun Da, and in any case he was a father and son by blood.
Shi Meilan sang the sacrificial song, and the song echoed in the empty mountains. It seems that she found a place according to the guidance in the dark, and then everyone digs the soil on the spot, pays homage, and buries.
The Miao people gathered around the cemetery, reciting scriptures with Shi Meilan, and the little tiger knelt beside him, confused in sadness.
After the funeral, Yunyan held back the little tiger's face and said, "Little tiger, we are leaving, tell your brother, are you okay?"
The little tiger hugged Yun Yan back subconsciously, and didn't want to part with him, but soon, the little tiger remembered that Brother Yan had to go back, and he couldn't leave A-Niang at this time.
The little tiger gritted his teeth and was silent for a while, instead of being coquettish as usual, he said firmly: "I can do it, Brother Yan, I will take care of my mother, eat and dress by myself, and write by myself."
"The little tiger has grown up." Yun Yan patted the little tiger's head with relief, "We don't cry for parting, we just celebrate when we meet again. If we agree, we'll give it a high five, okay?"
"I will never cry again!" said the little tiger loudly, and slapped Yun Yanhui's palm.
…
When Yun Yanhui and his group left, the little tiger really didn't cry. He rode on the shoulders of a guard and waved goodbye.
The mountain road was winding, Yun Yanhui came to a bend, and when they were about to disappear, Yun Yanhui turned back again.
The little tiger shouted, "Brother Yan, wait for me to see you later!"
Yun Yan beckoned back, and her figure disappeared in the forest.
.
When going up the mountain, the horses and carriage were handed over to the inn. After another trek down the mountain, Yun Yanhui and others went to the inn in Guizhou, where they rested for a day, and then led the carriage back.
The way back was not as hurried as it was when I came, and considering that Taiyi Wang was too old, he couldn't bear the fatigue, so the speed slowed down a lot, and he didn't have to travel day and night, and he could sleep at the station.
When passing through Yizhou, as usual, I slept one night at night.
There are many poisonous miasmas in Guangnan. If I hadn't asked for some Miao medicine before leaving Guizhou, I would have been plagued by mosquitoes. In addition, the weather is also relatively bad. If you walk fast, your body will not be able to eat. If you walk slowly, the environment is also bad. Imperial Doctor Wang is really miserable.
When he was at the inn at night, Imperial Physician Wang was so tormented that he couldn't sleep, so Yun Yan went back to sit with him on the steps, and went to the kitchen to make tea and drink it with him.
Although the two are quite different in age, the current situation is a ready-made common topic. The two compare the differences between Guangnan and their hometown.
Yunyan recalled that Yuwen Rounu was originally in this area, and the medical environment was not good, so she treated the local people. There are very few serious doctors here, and most of them use local methods or find wizards.
The old man and the young man were chatting when suddenly there was noise and fire in front of him.
Yun Yanhui stood up vigilantly, and leaned on the courtyard door to look out. After listening carefully, there was the sound of swordsmen. He suspected that it was a bandit. The security here was really bad, so he hurriedly went to wake up the guards.
Zhou Huilin was disheveled, came out holding a knife, and ordered someone to go outside to check the situation.
A guard went out with a knife, came back after a while, and said in a panic: "The barbarians in Yizhou are in trouble again, sneaking into the city and looting, there are a lot of people, and the people from the inn are guarding the front."
Everyone is poor, only the government is not so poor, there are horses in the post station, and it is reasonable to be robbed. As for the uprising, we know from the word "you" that many barbarians in Guangnan will make trouble if they can't get through. Because the area is poor, they often can't get through...
The court also thought of a lot of ways, various reliefs, and after preparing for the implementation of the chieftain system, it recently asked Xiang Shi Meilan to take the lead in setting up a trade point, but after all, it was not able to achieve immediate results, so there were still troubles from time to time.
Zhou Huilin made a decisive decision: "Take the weapons and let's go to support."
Yun Yanhui, as a young and strong man, should have stepped forward, but the imperial physician Wang was old. After some consideration, everyone still asked him to take care of the imperial physician Wang.
The inn is not big, Yun Yan looked back, and there was nothing to hide, so she gave up, and asked Imperial Doctor Wang to stay in the room for the time being, and leaned against the courtyard wall to take a look.
Song people collectively called the Tu people in Guangnan as barbarians. In fact, there are many ethnic groups here, most of them are Miao people, Tongren and Liaoren. Among them, the Miao people are basically stable in the Shijia restraint, the young people's vitality is greatly damaged, and it is not a concern for a short time.
There are many people in Yizhou, and they are really much more than the post station, and they have homemade bows and arrows in their hands. There are few people on the side of the inn, and even if there are Zhou Huilin and the others, the support is far from enough.
And besides Zhou Huilin and the others, there is no regular army at all. Zhou Huilin wants to mobilize the people at the post station, but he can't instruct them. These people are just messing around.
Under such a defeat, their own side had no intention of resisting, and fled in all directions, trying to rush out, but many were shot and killed, and the rest did not dare to resist, and they were captured.
Zhou Huilin and the others retreated at this time. Blood was bleeding from his shoulders, and he was scratched by an arrow. It didn't look very serious.
Imperial Physician Wang rushed over to take a look, but said solemnly: "It's not good, it's poisonous! The barbarians in Guangnan have the habit of taking poison and wiping arrows, and only they have the antidote."
On the other side, the officers were already approaching, and the gate of the courtyard would not be blocked for long, but the officers and soldiers of Yizhou had not yet appeared.
Zhou Huilin: "They don't kill people who don't resist, but they will kidnap people. If we are all taken away..."
They have no power or power in the local area. If they are taken away, Beijing will not know when they will react. If the local government does not rescue in time, it will be in the hands of the bureaucrats, and it will suffer a lot.
The natives here are often in trouble, and they already have a routine. After they go out and loot the supplies, they can bring the young and strong back, and the rich wait for someone to redeem them. .
Before they could discuss it, the gate of the courtyard had already been smashed open. Zhou Huilin and Yunyan looked back at each other and took the lead in keeping the weapons on the ground. The other guards followed suit and lost their weapons.
As soon as the officers rushed up, they picked up their weapons and tied everyone up. When it was Imperial Physician Wang's turn, these officers looked at him for a while by the light of the torches. Seeing that he was so old, he didn't look particularly wealthy.
Yun Yanhui didn't expect that they were still gagging. He wanted to make a fuss, but now he has nowhere to do it.
Zhou Huilin's idea was also the same, and he was quite disappointed. Fortunately, they all found out that these people did not intend to bring Imperial Physician Wang, which was a fortune in misfortune.
Next, when they were dragged up the mountain by the rope, Yun Yanhui and the others thought, it is no wonder that those people did not bring Taiyi Wang. Taiyi Wang was already on the verge of collapse, and they might also be afraid that Taiyi Wang would rush to the street halfway.
The officers raided the inn and several shops of the Han people, and brought back a lot of supplies and dozens of young and strong Han people. They were very cautious and pointed arrows at all times, making Yun Yanhui afraid that someone would be unlucky with a shake of his hand. .
…
Liao people generally live not as remote as the Miao people, perhaps because of the terrain, they arrived at their place at dawn.
All the captives were taken to a main room and laid on the ground. A team of staff also sat on the ground here, guarding them.
Yun Yanhui really wanted them to free their mouths, but unfortunately, these officers turned a blind eye to their immediate needs.
The staff also "worked hard" all night. After sitting down, they moved out of a small urn and prepared to treat themselves. After the small urn was opened, there was a strong smell of wine lees.
They added water to it, stirred it for a while, and then took a straw and took turns to suck the wine inside. This is a unique drinking method of the local people. Zhou Huilin was disgusted. Can this be called wine
The imperial court prohibits alcohol, but there are always some places where it can't be controlled. Anyway, the private sale of smuggled brew in the Guangnan area is absolutely uncontrollable.
Both the natives and the Han people here love wine. You can control those in the city, but you can't control the people who make their own wine in the mountains.
At this time, Yun Yanhui saw that Zhou Huilin seemed to have been affected by curare, and was drowsy and his face was blue.
Yun Yan was anxious back in her heart, bent over and started rubbing the gag cloth on the wall beside her.
When the people sitting next to him saw Yun Yanhui's movements, they all felt that he was doing useless work. At first glance, this person is a foreigner. What is the use of rubbing the cloth off? The natives have their own set of procedures, and they control how to treat these captives, when to interrogate and blackmail them, and so on.
Others pushed Yunyan back very kindly, frowned at him, and shook their heads, implying that he should not waste his energy.
Yun Yan returned but persevered and insisted on rubbing the cloth.
Everyone sighed in their hearts, wanting to see this person with tender skin and tender meat. Maybe he has never suffered any hardships, and he doesn’t like dirty mouths. After all, he is also a fallen person from the end of the world, so there are people who kindly help him stand in front, Yunyan Hui also glanced at them gratefully.
The staff drained the three jugs of wine before anyone noticed Yun Yanhui's movements. At this time, Yun Yanhui's cloth was about to fall off. I got caught, so I stepped forward and stuffed things back.
Yun Yanhui quickly spit out the cloth, took a deep breath, and switched to the Miao language in a second, regardless of whether they understood it or not: "What are you doing, when Nong Zhigao raised his army, we all had trouble together, Lingnan Tu people. As close as brothers, you are too mean to be like this!"
Huh? Miao people? !
For a time, the other Han people who either despised or helped Yun Yanhui were all stunned for a while. No wonder this person kept trying to talk. It turned out that there was a Miao person among us!
Although these officials did not understand what Yun Yanhui said, they all recognized that it was Miao language, and even understood the three words "Nong Zhigao". When Nong Zhigao rebelled, he united many Tu people, including Guangnan Liao and Miao people.
Although I don't know why this man is wearing Han clothes, his fluent Miao language can't deceive anyone.
The Tu ethnic groups in Guangnan have no sense of identity with the imperial government, and they make troubles at every turn. The Tu ethnic groups have many exchanges and complex relations, which are better than the relationship with the Han people anyway.
Yizhou and Guizhou are not far from each other, and there are many exchanges. In fact, when the Miao people in Guizhou were sealed, other Tu people did not feel any sense of betrayal. Their thinking is very naive and simple. They feel that it is like they will pretend to bow their heads when they lose. Don't Tongren obediently go to corvée, but they firmly believe that the Tu people cannot be assimilated.
These few officers were just guards and couldn't make up their minds. Seeing Yun Yan returning aggressively, as if his status was not low, he was cowardly for a while, and did not dare to block Yun Yan back again, but on the other hand, he hurried to report to the leader.
Yun Yanhui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, lowered her head and looked at Zhou Huilin's situation with concern, wondering if he could hold on.
Zhou Huilin was very uncomfortable, and still sent a message back to Yun Yan with his eyes: they must be fooled and lame.
