Originally, the supplies were sufficient, and the general of Yueli Jicheng happened to be the apprentice of one of the second-class marquises among this group of people. He was deeply favored by him, so he promised to send food and clothing every six months to prevent them from suffering. .
Therefore, the generals of Yueli Jicheng only need to report a little more loss, and the food of the exiled people is guaranteed. It cannot be said to be as rich as before, but it is still possible to have a full stomach.
Everyone is already doing their best to help these original princes and nobles. Who knows that these more than 3,000 people are accustomed to living in a pampered way. The further north they go, the colder the weather becomes, it is like hell. It is very cold. Soon someone was unfit and fell down on the road And this situation became more obvious as we went further north. No matter how much clothes we wore, we couldn't stop the old, weak, sick and disabled from dying.
The journey was fine, but when we finally set up camp on the Wusuli River, people stayed in tents every day and had nothing to do. The negative emotions of depression, coldness, loneliness, emptiness, etc. came one after another. Unable to bear the pressure and the gap, no less than a hundred people committed suicide. When they got up, they found that their tents had collapsed under the weight of the snow, and hundreds of people continued to do so
"It's like there is hell next to the Wusuli River. Everyone is cursed, and no one knows how long they can live.
As time goes by, smarter people can't stand this kind of depressed life and go crazy. Relying on my good physical strength, I ran away around. It didn't matter where I went. Anyway, I just didn't want to stay in this damn place.
Cha Zhalie was one of the people who escaped. He used to be a loyal servant of the Xiao family. After Xiao Yin'er became the queen, he also got the position of a fifth-grade general. During Xiao Yujin's killings, They are all high-ranking officers of the third rank or above, this little fifth-rank general. It's just that he was involved later.
Cha Zhalie's wife and children froze to death on the road. Alone, he didn't have much thought. He took the dry food, found a certain direction and ran out. In a daze and with a little luck, Cha Zhalie Zhalie actually escaped the fiercest wind and snow and came to the Barrow tribe. And relying on his ability to joke and make fun in the house before, he was finally not captured as a herdsman. But living a relatively relaxed life.
Although the Barrow tribe is not good in many aspects, because it is backed by the Zhongduan Mountains, the wind and snow are not heavy every year, and there is still a sense of vitality. There are busy people everywhere, even in winter.
With vitality, there is hope. The more people are together, the easier it is to be confident.
So, Cha Zhalie thinks. The busy life in the Barrow tribe is much better than the lifeless life in the Wusuli River, where you have to hear the news of the death of someone you know well every day.
Cha Zhalie originally thought that there was no hope, and he would just live like this all his life. If he was lucky, he would have to live for another twenty or thirty years, but he didn't expect that when he was already discouraged. He actually saw his master again.
The master came to him again like a fairy, just like he did when he was a child. This feeling of mixed senses burst out, and the scene when he first met just now happened.
"Alas! You have suffered."
Xiao Yin'er didn't know how many times she had poured "Drunken Immortal Brew" for Cha Zha Lie. But with her eyes red and swollen, she kept saying this over and over again.
But I can tell from the way the beautiful wife¡¯s body is trembling that her sadness and anger have simply reached the extreme.
She thought that things would be bad for her tribe, relatives and friends, but she didn¡¯t expect it to be so bad.
Listening to Cha Zhalie¡¯s tone, how many of these people related to him are left?
In the past, their population was at least five to six thousand!
For a moment, she almost had the urge to rush to the capital with a knife and chop off the head of the vicious Queen Mother with one knife!
After drinking more than a kilogram of fine wine that he had never drunk before, Cha Zhalie was also drunk, and the sadness and anger in his heart could not be suppressed, and came out like waves. After finishing speaking, he cried, "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu , among the brothers in our house I am the only one left now All the relatives and friends of our Xiao family were also killed by that vicious woman There are not many people you know left. ¡¡±
Cha Zhalie was a domestic slave of the Xiao family. After Xiao Yin'er became the queen, the Empress Dowager Xiao valued this daughter-in-law very much, so Brother Xiao Bodhisattva also had great power, so the whole family became prosperous. The slaves all became officials, big and small, and they were extremely prosperous.
"As a result, it was Hedong in thirty years and Hexi in thirty years. What I didn't expect wasIn the blink of an eye, after Xiao Yin'er fell into despair, Xiao Yujin ruthlessly eradicated the Xiao family lineage of the same clan, leaving Xiao Yin'er and his entire family almost without a happy ending.
Even a domestic slave like Cha Zhalie wakes up after being exiled and sees the death of familiar people every day. The pain of this kind of collapse bit by bit is considered very good if he can endure it until now.
Xiao Yin'er clenched her pink fist tightly. The pain that was well hidden was suddenly dug out, making her heart suddenly become fragile. When I hugged her tightly, she felt cold and charming. The beautiful young woman couldn't bear it anymore and threw herself into my arms, crying loudly.
The people nearby had not dared to make loud noises or joke for a long time, and now they were even more silent. Even Jia Ba and the others were looking around, for fear that some unconscious person would laugh and offend Brother Bao. angry.
My clothes were instantly soaked by Xiao Yin'er's tears. Because she was too sad, she could only cry. After a moment of burning incense, she faintly fell into my arms and fell asleep. His charming and lovable appearance really made me feel heartbroken.
Instructing Jia Ba and the others to continue, I winked at Cha Zhalie again and walked back with my friends.
After putting Xiao Yin'er on the bed and covering her with a quilt, she walked out of the tent and saw Cha Zhalie sitting on the grass in a daze. It must have been that he hadn't drank for a long time. After drinking such a strong and fragrant wine, he naturally felt a little uncomfortable. .
But if I have anything serious to ask him, I can only ask Zhang Zhuoqiang to wake him up, give him a hot towel, and then take Cha Zhalie to the banquet place.
Because of Xiao Yin'er's departure, the sad atmosphere no longer existed, and Jia Ba and the others became lively again.
I deliberately sat farther away from them, but I also brought hot meat and soup, and chatted with Cha Zhalie while eating.
"Cha Zhalie, when you left the Wusuli River, how many people were left?" I asked straight to the point.
"Returning to my uncle, when I came out, there were about 5,000 people left. Now that the spring flowers are blooming, it is estimated that 4,000 people are alive." Chazhalie had been thinking about this for a long time, and his answer was not messy. , "Thanks to those old friends, we were taken care of by the lady and the master, so they gave us enough food, so we got through the most difficult period, and by March and April, there were no big problems."
"Only half is left! You have suffered enough." I sighed, "Then tell me honestly, do you people hate Yin'er?"
¡°I don¡¯t hate it!¡±
Cha Zhalie looked at me strangely, "Uncle, why do we hate Miss? It's all the fault of Xiao Yujin, a vicious woman! Miss is a victim, how can we hate her?"
"But she caused your family to be destroyed and displaced." My eyes were as sharp as a knife. "For example, if you, your wife and children are dead, don't you have any resentment in your heart?"
"The vengeance has its owner, and the debt has its owner. It was Xiao Yunjin who killed her, so we should hate her! We are all people who have been favored by Miss and Grandpa. Naturally, we should share the prosperity and decline with Miss. Even if we don't have this series of connections, Xiao Yujin will attack us in the future." Chazhalie said to me calmly, "Uncle, you are not a Khitan, so naturally you don't know where in our tradition we are. If the people of a tribe fail, they will all suffer the same fate, including fighting in the imperial court! From the day I was born, I knew that my fate was in the hands of the young lady, and I would share weal and woe without any complaints."
?That¡¯s it.
Their own kin are a whole. As long as Xiao Yiner loses power, he will be weakened and killed. How cruel this is.
No wonder the people of the Song Dynasty looked down upon the Khitans. Their system was indeed very barbaric.
While thinking about it, I gained some confidence in my heart and asked Chazhalie: "Then if I ask you to follow me back to my island, are you willing to go?"
"My uncle's island?" Cha Zhalie was surprised, "Aren't you from a nearby tribe?"
"No, my island is in the sea outside this vertical mountain range. It is an independent island. It is all my family's territory." I dipped in water and drew a picture on the table and explained it to him.
"Occupying an island all by ourselves without being bullied by others, this is simply a holy land!" After Chazha Lie understood it, he became energetic, "No one can bully us now, right?"
"Of course not, and I won't agree to it." I laughed, "I am the only male in my family, so there is no need for you to worry about other things. The island is big enough. In three to five years, you can build a Start a new family and live happily."
"Uncle, this is your?Guaranteed? Cha Zhalie asked hopefully.
"Yes, this is the guarantee that my Silver Star Treasure gives to you, and it is also the guarantee that I give to Yin'er." I said solemnly.
"good!"
Cha Zhalie was so excited that tears flowed out, and he knelt down again, "We will definitely contribute all our strength to your will!"
