The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty - Chapter 274

It was the first time Yun Yanhui saw a Back-Guard-Man who was even worse than himself. Grand Doctor Wang stood still, his face was blank and aggrieved. Although he didn’t understand the Miao language, he felt emotions.

Zhou Huilin also got up at this time. He came out slowly, and saw that Doctor Wang was about to be submerged, and his coat was not worn, so he dashed up, separated the people with his arms, and roared: “Presumptuous! What are you doing!”

The Miao people were silent for a moment, and then even louder accusations broke out.

Zhou Huilin really wanted to use violence to solve it, but this place was no better than Bianjing, it was a place of other people, so he could only protect Doctor Wang and roar a few times. Soon, he discovered that this was useless, and he couldn’t stop so many people alone, “Yun Yan Hui, Yun Zhu Feng!”

Yun Yan originally wanted to go and rescue Wang Taiyi in the past, but Zhou Huilin took the lead and saw how he was going. Who knew that he would be defeated with just two roars, and the language was not clear.

Yun Yan walked back and said in Miao language: “Unreasonably making trouble. Before Shishan drank the medicine, the tusi agreed and also looked at the medicine. If there is a problem, she won’t know?”

When the Miao people stagnated, they hesitated and did not speak. They are more upright and reckless, but they are not fools. If you follow along at this time, aren’t they questioning the tusi’s ability?

Alas, this young man is obviously a Miao, but he has become cunning when he mixes with Han people!

Yun Yan returned to show them the remaining medicinal materials, “You can test them. These are all good medicines. Someone should recognize them. This doctor, but he treated our emperor and put people to death. , He himself is more sad, will he ruin his reputation?”

Yun Yan continued to talk, the more people listened, the more they felt that it was not the young man who was cunning, but that might be the case.

Didn’t the tusi also said at the time that the gods were going to take Shishan away? Maybe it was really just the doctor who hit him. Even the doctor who treated the Han emperor could not save the people who the gods wanted to take away.

After calming down a small incident, Yun Yan went back to his party and went to look for Shi Meilan.

She was busy coaxing little tiger, probably because of this, she didn’t have time to deal with the commotion outside. The little tiger couldn’t wake up his father, and realized that the death that everyone said had come, he cried very heartbreakingly.

Shi Meilan explained to him laboriously that “death” is not the end, and that her father’s spirit will live forever on the grass and trees in the stockade.

But for a while, Little Tiger couldn’t listen to this theory.

Because the little tiger was crying endlessly, Shi Meilan had to hug him and whispered 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 anticipated that he would be taken away by Yinshen anyway. I’ll take him away. I’ll take him away.”

The Miao people believe that after death, there is still a soul and consciousness, and Shi Meilan will be enshrined in Yunda in accordance with the custom of the Miao people.

Before the burial, Yunda was about to mourn the body for three days, and Shi Meilan personally held a small leather drum and beat the drum.

Someone told Yun Yanhui that she would not sleep for three days and three nights, but kept beating the drums in the hall and singing sacrificial songs when she was buried. She was both a relative of the deceased and a priest.

Yun Yan returned to make up his mind, and left after Yunda settled down.

Yun Yan helped Shi Meilan, who hosted the funeral, with the little tiger for a few days. Three days later, although the little tiger was sad, he had accepted his father’s departure and did not clamor for him to wake up.

When it was time for the burial, people in the stockade lined up to carry Yunda’s body up the mountain. Yun Yanhui didn’t have to go to see them off, but Yun Yanhui still followed the team by himself.

Once Yun Da died, only Yun Yanhui knew his identity. He sighed with Yunda’s experience, and in other words, he was a father and son by blood.

Shi Meilan sang the sacrificial song, and the singing echoed in the open mountains. She seemed to follow the guidelines in the dark to find a place, and then everyone digged, worshipped, and buried on the spot.

The Miao people gathered around the cemetery, reciting scriptures with Shi Meilan, and the little tiger knelt aside, confused in sorrow.

After the funeral, Yun Yan returned to holding the little tiger’s face and said, “Little tiger, we are about to leave. Tell your brother, can you be fine?”

The little tiger hugged Yun Yan back subconsciously and didn’t want to be separated from him, but soon the little tiger remembered that Brother Yan must 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 acting like he did as usual, he said firmly: “I can, Brother Yan, I will take care of A-niang, eat and dress by myself, and write by myself.”

“The little tiger has grown up.” Yun Yan rejoiced and touched the little tiger’s head. “We don’t cry for parting. We only celebrate when we meet again. If we agree, we will give high fives, okay?”

“I will never cry again!” Little Tiger said loudly, slapped Yun Yanhui’s palm with a palm.

…

When Yun Yan returned and the group left, the little tiger did not cry. He rode on the shoulder of a guard and waved goodbye.

The mountain road was winding, Yun Yan went back and they walked to a bend, and when they were about to disappear, Yun Yan turned back and looked back again.

The little tiger shouted, “Brother Yan, wait for me to see you later!”

Yun Yan beckoned back and disappeared in the forest.

——

When going up the mountain, the horses and carriage were handed over to the post. After another trek down the mountain, Yun Yanhui and others went to the post in Guizhou first, rested here for a day, and then led the carriage back.

The way back is not as hurried as it was when he came, and considering that the doctor Wang was too old, he could not bear the fatigue, so the speed slowed down a lot, not to mention the need to travel day and night, and he could sleep in the post.

When passing through Yizhou, it is usual to sleep one night at night.

There are a lot of poisonous miasma in Guangnan, if it weren’t for some Miao medicine before leaving Guizhou, it would definitely be plagued by mosquitoes. In addition, the weather is also relatively bad, walking fast and the body can’t bear to eat, walking slowly and the environment is also bad, Wang Taiyi is really miserable.

At night at the inn, Doctor Wang was so tormented that he couldn’t sleep. Yun Yan sat with him on the steps when he returned, went to the kitchen to fry tea by himself, and drank it with him.

Although the two are quite different in age, the current situation now is a ready-made common topic. Together, the two compare the difference between Guangnan and their hometown.

Yun Yan recalled that Yuwen Rounu was here and the medical environment was not good, so she treated the local people. There are very few serious doctors here.

The old and the young were chatting, and suddenly there was a noise and fire in front of them.

Yun Yanhui stood up vigilantly, helped the courtyard gate to look out, and listened carefully, there was a sound of swordsman, suspecting that it was a robber, and the security was really bad here, so he hurried to wake up the guards.

Zhou Huilin’s clothes were disheveled, so he came out holding a knife and ordered someone to go outside to check the situation.

A guard went out with a knife and returned after a while, and said in a flustered manner: “The barbarians in Yizhou are in trouble again. They sneaked into the city and plundered them. There were a lot of people, and the people in the post were in front.”

Everyone is poor, only the government’s place is not so poor, and there are horses in the post, and it is reasonable to be robbed. As for the uprising, you can tell from the word “again” that many barbarians in Guangnan will make trouble if they can’t make it. Because the place is poor, they often can’t make it…

The imperial court also thought of many ways, various reliefs, and preparations for the implementation of the native chieftain system. Recently, Shi Meilan was asked to take the lead in setting up trading points, but after all, it was impossible to get immediate results, so troubles still occurred from time to time.

Zhou Huilin made a decisive decision: “Take the weapon and we will support it.”

As a young man, Yun Yan should have also stepped forward, but the emperor Wang was old, and after some consideration, everyone still asked him to take care of the emperor Wang.

The post was not big. Yun Yan looked back, and there was no place to hide, so he simply gave up and asked the doctor Wang to stay in the room for the time being, and took a look at the courtyard wall by himself.

The Song people collectively referred to the Tu people in Guangnan as the Barbarians. In fact, there are many ethnic groups here, most of which are the Miao, Tongren and Liren. Among them, the Miao people are basically stable in the Shijia restraint, and the children’s vitality is severely injured. It is not a concern for a short period of time.

There are quite a lot of bureaucrats in Yizhou, and there are really more people coming from them than the inn, and they have self-made bows and arrows in their hands. There were few people in the post, and even with Zhou Huilin’s support, it was far from enough.

Besides Zhou Huilin and the others, there was no regular army at all. Zhou Huilin wanted to mobilize the staff at the station, but they couldn’t instruct them. These people were simply fighting indiscriminately.

Under such a defeat, he had no intention of resisting and fled in all directions, trying to rush out. However, he was shot a lot, and the rest did not dare to resist, so he could not resist.

Zhou Huilin and the others retreated at this time, his shoulder was bleeding, he was bruised by an arrow, and he didn’t look very serious.

The Royal Physician Wang rushed over to take a look, but solemnly said: “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.”

At the other end, the officials were already approaching, and the courtyard gate could not be blocked for long, but at this time the officers and soldiers of Yizhou had not yet appeared.

Zhou Huilin: “They don’t kill or resist, but they will kidnap people away. If we are all taken away…”

They have no power and influence in the place. If they are taken away, Beijing will not know when they will react. If the local government doesn’t rescue it in time, it will be in the hands of the staff, which will have to suffer a lot.

The natives here often get upset and have a routine. After they come out to take the supplies, they can also take the young and strong back. The rich will wait for someone to redeem them. If no one can redeem them, they will build fortifications or serve as cannon fodder meat shields. .

Before they could discuss it, the gate of the courtyard had already been knocked open. Zhou Huilin and Yun Yan looked back at each other and took the lead in keeping their weapons on the ground. The other guards also followed suit and lost their weapons.

As soon as the bureaucrats rushed forward, they all picked up their weapons and **** everyone. When it was the turn of Doctor Wang, these officials looked at him with the light of a torch for a long time. Seeing that he was so old and not dressed in a particularly rich manner, they searched him and didn’t have any money, and then put them down.

Yun Yan didn’t expect that they were still gagging.

Zhou Huilin originally had the same idea, and was quite disappointed. Fortunately, they all discovered that these people did not intend to bring Doctor Wang with him. It was a blessing in misfortune.

Next, on the way up the mountain by the staff members, Yun Yan returned to the others to think about it. No wonder those people did not bring Doctor Wang. Doctor Wang was already crumbling, and they might also be afraid that Doctor Wang would rush to the street halfway.

The bureaucrats attacked the post and several shops of the Han people and brought back a large amount of supplies and dozens of young and strong Han people. They were very cautious and kept pointing their arrows at them, making Yun Yan back very afraid that anyone would be unlucky if their hands were shaken. .

…

The Liao people are generally not as remote as the Miao people, perhaps because of the topography, they will arrive at their place at dawn.

All the captives were taken to a hall and placed on the ground. A team of officials also sat on the ground here, guarding them.

Yun Yanhui wanted them to liberate their mouths, but unfortunately, these officials simply turned a blind eye to their needs.

The staff also “worked hard” all night, and after sitting down, they moved out a small urn and prepared to reward themselves. After the small urn was opened, it exuded a strong smell of lees.

They added water to it, stirred a bit, and then inserted a straw into it, taking turns to drink the liquor inside. This is a unique drinking method of the local natives. Zhou Huilin felt nauseous. Could this also be called liquor?

The imperial court banned wine, but there are always some places that cannot be restrained. Anyway, the private sale of wine in Guangnan is absolutely irresistible.

Both the natives and the Han people have good wine here, and you can control the people in the city, and you can’t control the people who make their own wine in the mountains.

At this time, Yun Yan looked back and saw that Zhou Huilin seemed to have been affected by the arrow poison, so he was lethargic and his face turned blue.

Yun Yan returned to his heart anxiously, bent over and started rubbing the gag cloth on the wall on the side.

The people sitting next to Yun Yanhui’s movements 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 a set of procedures to control how to treat these kidnapped people, when to ask questions, and so on.

Someone pushed Yunyan back very kindly, frowned at him, shook his head, and hinted that he shouldn’t waste his energy.

Yun Yan persevered and insisted on rubbing the cloth.

Everyone sighed in their hearts and wanted to see this person’s delicate skin and tender meat. Maybe he hasn’t eaten any bitterness. I don’t like the dirt in his mouth. At any rate, he is also a man of the world, so there are people who kindly help him stand in front, Yun Yan Hui also gave them a grateful look.

The bureaucrats sucked up the three urn liquor before someone noticed Yun Yanhui’s movements. At this time, the cloth of Yun Yanhui was about to fall off. The bureaucrats didn’t care much, just thinking about not letting him yell and noisy. When he got away, he stepped forward to stuff things back.

Yun Yanhui quickly spit out the cloth, took a deep breath, and switched the Miao language in one second, regardless of whether they could understand it or not: “What the hell, when Nong Zhigao raised his troops, everyone was in trouble together, Lingnan Tu people. As close as brothers, this is not enough for you!”

Huh? Miao people? !

For a while, the other Han citizens who had either despised or helped Yun Yan return to his homeland stayed for a while. No wonder this person kept trying to talk. It turned out that there was a Miao among us!

Although these officials said that they did not understand Yun Yanhui’s meaning, 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, and Guangnan Laomen and Miao people participated in it.

Although I don’t know why this person is wearing Han Chinese costumes, his fluent Miao language can’t deceive people.

The Tu nationalities in Guangnan have no sense of identity with the imperial rule, and make trouble at every turn. The Tu nationalities have many contacts and complex relationships, which are better than the relationship with the Han people anyway.

Yizhou and Guizhou are not far away and have a lot of contacts. In fact, the other Tu people didn’t feel any sense of betrayal when the Miao people in Guizhou were “submitted” and were sealed. Their ideas are naive and simple. They think it’s like they will pretend to bow if they lose. Aren’t the children obediently going to the service, but they firmly believe that the Tu people can’t be assimilated.

These officials were just guards and couldn’t make up their minds. Seeing Yun Yan’s return was aggressive, as if his status was not low, for a while, he didn’t dare to shut Yun Yan’s mouth back, and hurried to report to the leader on the other hand.

Yun Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, bowed his 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 crippled.
