Chapter 235: The Emperor's Descendants Fall into the Mundane World
Chapter 235 "The Emperor's Descendants" Fall into the Mortal World
Balk Village, where the Zaksulu tribe is located, is located on a hill with its back to the mountain and water on the north bank of the Balk River. Houses with spiers and domes are scattered on the hillside, and their beige roofs are hidden among the mountains.
In the green mountain forest, red azaleas grow in front and behind the house.
When the four boats found a deep water spot and anchored, Zhao Xin first ordered the accompanying security company and migrant workers to camp by the river. First, there were too many people on his side, and if they all went to the village, it would frighten the villagers; second, because of this
If too many soldiers with guns entered the village, accidents might happen. After he, Liu Sheng, Zhang Bo, A Miao, and a few guards landed, they followed Saharian and Ushiha towards the village.
"It's so beautiful!" A Miao pulled Zhao Xin's sleeve and admired the beautiful scenery in front of her sincerely. Zhao Xin nodded. He really didn't expect that the spring scenery here would be so moving.
"How many years have passed, and you are still the first batch of Han people to come here." Saha couldn't help but look back at the four strange ships behind him, marveling in his heart. He thought he would see something magical in Fuldan City.
A lot. I didn’t expect to see more amazing things today.
"Haha, more Han people will come in the future, and we will all work together to plant land and vegetables, raise pigs and cattle; there will also be people to help you with medical treatment." Zhao Xin explained to Saharian with a smile.
"That's great! We have fish here all year round, and we can eat delicacies and game. It's a pity that there are no vegetables in winter."
When hundreds of people in kayaks gradually came ashore, the village in the distance was alarmed and suddenly boiled. The first to react were hundreds of dogs raised by each family. They ran away from the village
He came out and surrounded Zhao Xin and his party, wagging their tails at the guests and running and shouting happily around them.
Zhang Bo saw that among these dogs, there were poodles, large wolfdogs, and even thin-waisted dogs from the northwest. Moreover, these dogs all had large copper rings hanging under their necks. He couldn't help but curiously asked Wu Xiha
: "Miss Wuxiha, why are there so many varieties of dogs here? Why does this dog always have a collar hanging on its neck?"
Wu Xi laughed and explained: "That's not a collar, it's for tying the yoke and tying the fiber rope!"
"What? And tie it with a fiber rope. Can dogs pull fiber?"
"Why not! In addition to using dogs to pull sleds and hunt in winter, we also rely on dogs to pull fiber when boating upstream on the river."
"Oh, I really learned a lot today!" Zhang Bo said with a grin.
The reason why the Hezhe people are called the "dog department" is because every family has dogs. For example, Wu Xiha's family has dozens of dogs. These dogs are not used to guard the home or play with people, but to play with people.
They are all "working dogs"; just like the Oroqen people raise deer and the Daur people raise horses.
As everyone walked, they listened to Saharian say: "In the early years, when Emperor Kangxi was in power, there was a dog plague outbreak one year, not to mention our place. All the villages and townships in the Heilongjiang and Wusuli River areas
The dogs are almost dead!”
"Ah!" A Miao asked quickly: "What happened next?"
"Later, someone came to Beijing and told Emperor Kangxi about this matter. Emperor Kangxi issued an edict and selected 3,000 dogs from all over the pass and sent people to deliver them to us. So you see, what is it like here?
There are all kinds of dogs.”
When everyone heard this, they laughed. Zhao Xin laughed a few times and then suddenly frowned. He turned to look at Liu Sheng, only to see Liu Sheng looking at him as well. The two of them understood each other tacitly.
The Balke Village in spring and summer is originally very peaceful. The Hezhe people refuse to miss the best time to catch catfish. They go out early in the morning and come back late every day to fish. Sometimes they even float along the river or sleep on the river beach. Therefore, in general, there are other things in the village except
Old people, only women and children.
But the sudden visit of Zhao Xin and others during the spring flood season disrupted the plans of the Hezhe people who were originally going to go fishing. So all the men, women, and children in the village came to the river to see the four strange boats, and Zhao Xin
These strange Han people.
When Wu Xi pulled the fairy-like A Miao, and Zhao Xin followed Saharian and others into the village, the women, children and girls who were busy drying fish meat, preparing fish tendons, and tanning fish skins all swarmed.
Here comes the fun.
The women of the border residents do not have the ethical concepts of the Three Cardinal Principles and the Five Constant Principles. In their minds, people have to express their joy, anger, and sorrow according to their own will.
These women first looked at Zhao Xin and his party in surprise, and then suddenly noticed A Miao walking side by side with Wu Xiha. Then they stretched out their hands full of fishy smell and touched the cloud-like black hair, and couldn't help but be surprised.
She shouted: "Oh my God! Her hair is smoother than satin!"
Some people looked at A Miao's beautiful big eyes and shallow dimples, pretending to be surprised and exclaimed: "Oh, here comes another little Baljun (fairy)!" After that, they were so presumptuous.
He reached out and pinched A Miao's cheek gently.
At this time, suddenly, like dark clouds, two tall figures walked in, and the women found that the light in front of them was blocked. "Oh my God! What a tall man!"
"So strong, so cute! Haha!"
"Like it? If you like it, take it home!" As soon as these words came out, all the villagers burst into laughter.
A fat woman twisted her fat body so that all kinds of strange ornaments tied to the skirt and hem of her clothes jingled. She smiled at Saharian and asked: "Saharian, take your daughter."
Are you going to Fuldan City to find your son-in-law?"
Saharian laughed and scolded: "You women, what are you talking about! These are Han Chinese from Fuldan City. They can't understand us at all. You are ogling a blind man!"
A Miao was a little scared, and held Wu Xiha's hand tightly. Wu Xiha knew that people like Zhao Xin had just arrived, and they probably couldn't stand these seemingly rude, but actually full of well-intentioned, ridicules and compliments. So he stepped forward and stood in the way of A Miao.
In front of Miao Shen, as she spoke, she stopped those women from touching her again.
Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng found it very funny. They couldn't understand the Manchu language of the Hezhe people, so they allowed the women, old people and children to touch their clothes.
As for touching your cheeks? If it’s enough, you win!
This is when a woman in the crowd joked to Wu Xiha: "Wu Xiha, which one here is your Haidongqing?"
"Yes, yes, tell us quickly!"
Wu Xiha's face turned red, and he said in anger and shame: "Sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense! Brother Qiji, take care of your wife!" When everyone saw the shy and angry look of Mr. Baer, who was famous from all over the country, they all cheered.
laughing out loud.
The group of people chatted and laughed all the way, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the door of the Saharian family's courtyard. Wu Xiha opened the fence door and invited Zhao Xin and others to go in.
Zhao Xin walked into this clean and tidy yard and saw several wooden poles more than ten meters high standing in front of the door. There were several cross-shaped beams on the top, filled with fish cut in half. On the top one
On a beam, a sea turtle crouched there, motionless.
On the right side of the main house, there is a warehouse built suspended on six pillars. The foundation is almost one meter high from the ground. Sandwiched between the main house and the warehouse are several sacred pillars.
The main house of the Sakhalian family is a birch bark house like other families; but what is different from other families is that his house looks large and spacious, with as many as six or seven adjoining houses.
Because the surnames are different, whenever there is any discussion or festival in the village, the villagers will come here. The house is too small.
"Good guy! Why hang the fish so high?" Liu Sheng asked in surprise.
Ushiha explained: "When the weather is warm, there are more flies. Hang it higher so flies can't fly up."
Zhao Xin nodded and said: "That's good. If flies can't get up, they won't be able to lay eggs on the fish."
Saharian nodded and praised: "What you said is right to the point."
"What about the eagle? Don't eagles eat fish?" Liu Sheng pointed at Hai Dongqing and asked.
Wu Xi laughed and said, "That's the seaweed I raise at home. I put it on top to watch out of fear of birds stealing the fish."
Saharian's wife died of illness a few years ago. Now that there are so many guests, several village women take the initiative to help. Some help boil water, while others go to the warehouse to carry wine, caviar and fried caviar.
Fish floss; or, take out a few large carp directly from the tank in the yard and start preparing the raw fish.
In the spacious and tidy main room, Zhao Xin and several other men were invited to sit on the Western Kang; Wu Xiha took A Miao to his room. Liu Sheng took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Saharian.
At this time, a woman placed a small square table on the kang, and took a few wooden bowls to place them.
Saharian took down a birch bark box from the shelf behind him. After opening it carefully, the smell of inferior fermented tea came out. He put some minced tea leaves in each person's wooden bowl, and after a while
, a woman came in carrying an aluminum cooking pot filled with boiling water, and scooped the water into a wooden bowl with a wooden spoon.
When Zhao Xin saw the pot, it was something from Beihai Town. He picked up the wooden bowl and took a sip. His mouth was full of bitterness, thinking where did he buy this adulterated product? But he didn't know that this place was far away from the tea produced in Guannei.
In this area, it is extremely difficult to have such low-quality crushed tea. This tea in Saharian was obtained in exchange for five high-quality mink skins in Ninggu Pagoda a few years ago, and I would not even bear to drink it on weekdays.
Saharian took a puff of the cigarette with satisfaction, and the mellow smoke made him feel smoky. He carefully looked at the white cigarette in his hand and thought about how these Han people always have so much good stuff!
"Mr. Zhao, where are all of you going?"
Zhao Xindao: "We are going to the north of Kuye Island this time, and we are going to visit Trinshiji tomorrow."
"Well. You are all Han people, so you should go and pay homage. The stone tablets and temples there were erected by the emperor of the former Ming Dynasty. They are sacred objects and have blessed the peace of our people along the river for hundreds of years!"
Liu Sheng chuckled and teased: "Saharian, you still don't know that this Mr. Zhao is a descendant of the former Ming Emperor."
When Zhao Xin heard this, he immediately gave Liu Sheng a big roll of his eyes, saying to himself, "You are so afraid of chaos in the world!"
"What?" Saharian was stunned, and a long piece of cigarette ash fell on him.
Zhao Xin quickly explained: "We are too far apart, so don't listen to his nonsense."
"Descendants of the Emperor!" Saharian hurriedly threw away the cigarette butts in his hands, knelt down on the kang, and kowtowed repeatedly to Zhao Xin. In his opinion, even if he was a descendant of the Emperor of Heaven hundreds of years ago, then
They are not ordinary people either. For such a person to come to a remote village like theirs as a guest, Saharian suddenly felt proud of his face.
In fact, Zhao Xin and the others came by chance! If they had set off more than ten days later, Saharian would have led his people south to Deleng'en Wooden City. At this time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was already preparing to publicize Zhao Xin's work at Deleng'en's Wulin Appreciation Party.
The Xin and others are just a group of overseas bandits. We remind all townships and ministries not to be deceived by them.
Fortunately, Saharian and his daughter went to Fuldan City by mistake in the winter, and because of the warm-heartedness of Liu Sheng and Serdan, they first cured his old cold leg, and then returned with large and small bags of things.
The Hezhe people of Zaksulu tribe have a good impression of Zhao Xin and the others. If Zhao Xin delays for a few more days and waits until June or July to come back, then all the people in this area will be soldiers!
Saharian was a little at a loss at this time. The biggest official he had ever seen was just the deputy commander of Sanxing City and Ningguta. Now there was actually a "descendant of the former Ming Emperor" in his family. How could he not be shocked?
!Thinking that the Yongning Temple and the stone tablets on Trilin Shiji were both erected by the former Ming emperor. This person in front of me came to worship his ancestors?!
Seeing that the old man was a little flustered, Zhao Xin quickly comforted him with gentle words. In the conversation, he asked about the old man's old leg. Saharian was even more shocked when he heard that he did not expect that the "descendant of the emperor" actually knew medical skills.
Everyone talked for a while, and suddenly the door curtain swung, and Wu Xiha walked in with A Miao, who had changed into a Hezhe costume. A Miao's long hair was actually combed into a big braid with Wu Xiha's help.
Like Wu Xiha, the top was tied with shiny shells and snow-white fish bones; but the patterned fishskin coat was a bit too big. A Miao rolled up both sleeves, so it didn't look so awkward.
.
"What a beautiful little fairy!" Saharian's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but admire her.
"These two girls stand together, they really look like a pair of sisters!" Zhang Bo couldn't help but give high-fives in praise.
Liu Sheng coaxed: "Amiao, you should just accept Wu Xiha as your sister."
A Miao's beautiful eyes looked at Zhao Xin, which means it's up to you to decide whether it's okay or not.
That night, a grand banquet was held simultaneously at the Sakhalian family and on the banks of the Balk River. Campfires were blazing, and the villagers of Balk Village brought home-brewed local wine and delicious caviar.
, fluffy and delicious fried fish hair (fish floss), and various delicacies from the mountains and wild game, entertained this group of Han people from the south bank of Xingkai Lake. People from Beihai Town also took off high-strength liquor, various cans and cigarettes from the boat,
Distributed to arriving villagers.
Various kinds of roasted game meat dripping with grease on the wooden rack, the fragrant white flour cake in the pan, and the boiling fish soup in the two-ear iron pot. All these aromas are mixed together and drifting on the banks of the Balk River.
Zhao Xin drank too much again.
Although the Hezhe people's home-brewed cricket wine is soft in the mouth, it has great staying power. Saharian and his daughter toasted to distinguished guests like Zhao Xin and others who came from afar during the dinner. After drinking this, Zhao Xin was already a little top-heavy.
; But Wu Xiha took them to the lively bonfire party on the river bank.
Drunk and confused, the Hezhe people in the camp were singing and dancing, holding up their wine bowls and singing loudly. Everyone in Beihai Town couldn't understand what was being sung and just clapped along with the beat. Those women who could not reach the faces of Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng during the day
At this time, they became bolder, and they came over one after another, you twisted it, I touched it, and compared the tenderness with each other.
Liu Sheng smiled and didn't take it seriously, but A Miao on the side was furious and quickly stood up to stop him. The women had achieved their goal and turned and left with laughter.
The next morning, after sobering up in the camp by the river, Zhao Xin took two hangover pills. A Miao brought him a bowl of fish soup with a fragrant vinegar aroma. After drinking it, he felt alive.
We knew this would be the result! Zhao Xin thought helplessly. Seeing that many people in the camp were still hungover, he decided to set off to Trinshiji again tomorrow.
In the afternoon, he and Liu Sheng went to Saharian's home again. Zhao Xin asked in detail about Saharian's symptoms of cold legs, and then looked at his swollen and deformed knees. He estimated that the other party had rheumatic joints.
Yan. So he asked A Miao to go to the ship to get a box of cephalosporin, remove the outer carton, and asked Sahalian to take one pill every day. He said that he would see the effect after they came back from Bitter Leaf Island.
Because he had seen the efficacy of Beihai Town's medicine in Fuldan City before, Saharian had no doubts about Zhao Xin's words. But just when he was about to tear open the aluminum foil seal package of Cephalosporium, Zhao Xin quickly explained: "This medicine
You should eat it immediately after exposure to light, and be sure not to tear it open in advance, otherwise the efficacy of the medicine will be weakened."
Finally, Zhao Xin solemnly told Saharian and Wu Xiha: "You must not drink alcohol for two days before and after taking this medicine. You must remember! Otherwise something will happen!"
Saharian just heard Zhao Xin say that the pack of medicine in his hand contains 12 pills in total. According to this calculation, wouldn't he be unable to drink for a month? Thinking of this, the smile on his face suddenly changed to one of
