28. The ancestors of the Oroqen people
We didn't want to enjoy the beautiful scenery on the road, so we bought some generous gifts and headed to his residence. Not to mention actually blocking him at home, this old man was very knowledgeable and knew a lot, but he just loved money. He briefly chatted with us and then asked us some questions.
Do you want to ask Gu or do you want to know about your future fortune? I tilted my head and asked Meihui in a low voice: "Sister, do you think this old man is reliable? Don't be a charlatan."
Meihui said: "Probably not. If he is a descendant of the Wanyan family, then the Wanyan family is the Jurchen clan, and the Jurchen clan and the Oroqen clan are from the same branch."
I was about to say something about the mouse, but unexpectedly, Wang Laodao suddenly stretched out his hand to grab my chest. I was unprepared and he tore off a button. Ever since I learned the value of the topaz ring on Toudao Street, this object has become my favorite.
It never leaves my body, but I dare not carry it directly on my hand for fear of attracting the attention of thieves, so I always hang it around my neck as a pendant and hide it in my chest.
I thought to myself: This old man is not an old man, is he? How could he grab his breasts at the first meeting? If he goes one step further and teases me, he will definitely be rude.
A glimmer of light flashed in his cloudy old eyes, and he stared at the ring tightly without moving away. "Brother Wushuang, can you tell me how you got this ring?"
"I... this... Taoist Priest, we are here to ask for your help to go to the cave ghost tribe. What does my ring ring have to do with it?" I don't want to mention the origin of this topaz finger ring.
He stroked his gray beard and said, "No, can you take away your friend? Maybe it's there." As he said that, he slightly raised the topaz ring finger with his hand and shook it in front of his nose. Then he smiled slightly.
He continued: "This thing has quite a lot of yin energy. Isn't it a bright weapon?"
Meihui looked at me, her eyes seemed to be laughing at me for lying to her in the first place. Needless to say, I also knew that she was secretly happy: What, lie to me? It must have been exposed by others! She even said she picked it up!
I will definitely not directly admit the origin of this topaz finger ring. To put it nicely, you picked it up. To put it bluntly, it is just like fighting upside down. The crime of tomb robbing is not small. I will not admit it in any case.
However, Wang Laodao said that whether he could negotiate with the cave ghost tribe to rescue the mouse would depend on this yellow jade finger.
"Taoist Priest, according to what you see, how can I use this finger to save my brother?"
A Taoist boy next to Wang Laodao poured tea for us and lit a cold cigarette for the old man. The old man smoked the cigarette, took a few sips, and started talking.
"Let me first tell you about the origin of the Donggui tribe. The Donggui tribe was a tribe of the Oroqen people in ancient times. During the Ming Dynasty, the Oroqen tribe settled in Heilongjiang in the northeast. However, the Donggui people have more traditional ideas and have long been accustomed to it.
They made a living by nomadic hunting, so most of their tribesmen still lived in the Inner Mongolia area, which is now the grassland of Tongliao. Later, the leader of the Jurchens in Jianzhou was Nurhaci, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, who led his troops to attack the Huifa Jurchen tribe and the Oroqen tribe in Heilongjiang. The Oroqen tribe
The people's horsemanship skills were no longer as good as before. How could they compare with Nurhaci's cavalry? So they turned to the Donggui tribe, who were affiliated with Tongzhi, to send troops to rescue them. How could there be any trains or cars in those days? They all relied on horses, and there were no roads.
, the only feasible way is the official road. No matter how fast the Donggui cavalry is, they have to run for a day and a night. When they passed through Shuangliao, Jilin, they encountered a sneak attack by Nurhachi's eldest son Chu Ying. Although the Donggui cavalry was good at fighting,
However, Chu Ying led all the dead soldiers around Nurhachi, so how could they easily pass through the defense line to rescue them. The two sides fought for three days and three nights, with blood flowing like rivers. In the end, although the Donggui cavalry won the victory, they suffered heavy casualties.
