Chapter 585 Wuer Village (Part 1)
Wuerzhai.
The fortress built on the top of the mountain is isolated on all sides, with only a ridge less than ten feet wide and more than a mile long for access.
Wuer means good wine in the barbarian language.
The meaning of Wuerzhai is a village where good wine is hidden.
In fact, relying on several excellent sweet water wells in the village, the Tongxi wine brewed in Wuer Village is not only the best among the barbarians, but is also not inferior to the good wine brewed by the Han people outside the mountains.
For hundreds of years, the Wuxi barbarians have used Tongxi wine as the main beverage during ancestor worship, which has invisibly raised the reputation of the wine.
It is precisely for this reason that the wealth accumulated by Wuerzhai from generation to generation can be regarded as one of the best among the entire Wuxi barbarians.
Some people even believe that if the terrain of Wuerzhai had not limited its potential for development and growth, the leader of the Tongxi barbarians would never have been Walengzhai.
Of course, the real people of Wuerzhai will only sneer at such statements.
If it weren't for its easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack terrain, Wuerzhai would have been swallowed up as fat meat long ago. How could it have been prosperous for so long?
November 16, the 11th year of Guangde.
It was a clear morning. Qilipu of Wuerzhai was standing on the arrow tower inside the village gate, looking out from the railing, as if he was doing his duty faithfully.
But his blurred and disoriented eyes and the constantly surging throat all proved that he was actually in a state of distraction.
According to the rules set by the chief, after the brave warriors in the village have guarded the village gate, they can have fun with the Han female captives for free.
It's been more than half a month, and it's finally my turn to stand guard. I have to choose a woman I like to do it with at night. The Han woman last time, although her body was white and tender, she was like a piece of wood in bed and didn't respond at all.
Of course, this was also because she couldn't speak Chinese. It was said that if you mentioned her husband and children in Chinese, the woman would struggle like a wild horse...
Hmm~
Maybe I should learn a few words of Chinese, so that it would be more interesting .
"Chilip!"
He was unconsciously pushing his pants into the gap of the railing when he suddenly heard someone shouting from behind. Chilipu was so frightened that he immediately weakened. He quickly turned to the inside of the arrow tower and looked down.
But he saw that the young man looking up below was none other than his own brother-in-law, Chaha, who was only thirteen years old this year.
Chilipu could not help but laugh and scold: "You silly boy, why did you sneak here instead of staying at home with your mother spinning cloth?"
Chaha pinched his waist and looked up and shouted, "Sister told me to keep a close eye on you, to prevent you from hanging out with those two-legged sheep at night."
Upon hearing flew into a rage. He smashed the bow in his hand against the railing, spitting and cursing: "Damn stupid woman, this is the rule set by the chief. Can she be more powerful than the chief's rule?! Go back and tell her that if she dares to make trouble again, I will teach her a lesson when I get home!"
Having said that, he angrily returned to the outside of the arrow tower.
After a long while, he still didn't hear Chaha's response. He thought Chaha had left and was about to continue thinking about his options for the night. Unexpectedly, Chaha's voice suddenly came from behind him: "Qilipu, I want to stand guard with you too!"
This silly kid!
Qilipu looked back at his brother-in-law with a sullen face, and was about to scold him to drive him away, but Chaha puffed out his chest and said, "Chaha is also a warrior of Wuer Village, so of course he has to follow the rules of the chief!"
Chilipu was stunned when he heard this, and it took him a long time to react. His brother-in-law actually had such thoughts. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "I dare not take you to find a Chinese woman right now. Let's wait for two years until you grow up..."
“Liar!”
Chaha's face flushed, and he stiffened his neck and said, "In two years, the two-legged sheep raised by the headman will probably have all died. How can it be Chaha's turn?!"
"So what if they all die?"
Qilipu said nonchalantly: "Let's just go down the mountain and grab some more. There are a lot of Han women down there anyway!"
"It was a pity that we didn't make it in time to capture Wuxi City last time. I heard that the Han women in the city are as white as goat milk and feel like silk..."
While talking to himself, Chilipu felt a little intoxicated. He stretched out his hand and grabbed in the air, as if the Han woman in the city was right in front of him.
After hearing this, Chaha couldn't help but feel a little dry in the mouth and yearning in his heart.
But he suddenly remembered what his mother said, and couldn't help but said, "But my mother said that the Han army is as numerous as the stars in the sky. If we keep going down the mountain to rob women, the Han people will come to take revenge on us one day."
"As many as the stars in the sky?"
Qilip laughed, rubbed Chaha's head with his hand, and said proudly: "Even if there are as many sheep as stars, they can't be the opponent of the warriors - not to mention that our Wuer Village has never been taken down in hundreds of years, not even Waleng Village!"
"Could those cowardly Han people be more powerful than the chieftain of Waleng Village?"
After hearing what Qilipu said, Chaha's eyes lit up and he clenched his fists and said, "Then I will kill all the Han people in the future, and then take back all those women who are as sweet as goat milk, and distribute them to my uncles and brothers in the village!"
Seeing that his brother-in-law had set such a lofty ambition under his guidance, Qilipu was very proud. Just as he was about to encourage Chaha, he suddenly saw Chaha's face showing doubts. He pointed to the distance and shouted: "Look, who are those people?!"
Chilip looked up subconsciously and saw more than a dozen figures walking towards him on the narrow ridge path in front of the village gate.
And further away, there are countless black dots, densely arranged.
That is...
armor?!
The glittering armor leaves in the front made Chilip's eyes widen instantly.
Among the entire Wuxi barbarians, it seemed that only the commander-in-chief of the Huaxi barbarians seized some armor from the Han official army and rewarded it to the warriors in the tribe.
But how could the people from Huaxi Man suddenly appear in Wuer Village?
Han people!
One of them is the Han government troops coming to take revenge!
After confirming this fact, the Wuer warriors, who had been so high-spirited just now, suddenly became unable to move their hands and feet. They stared straight at the Han people who were slowly approaching, and a scream reached the top of their throats, but they couldn't utter a single sound.
Chaha, however , was not afraid of tigers. He looked around curiously for a few times, then pushed Chilipu and asked, "Chilipu, what do those people do?"
After being pushed by him, Chilip finally came to his senses. He turned around and rushed to the center of the arrow tower. He pulled off the small copper hammer hanging on the vines and hit the stolen copper bell desperately.
"The Han people are coming! The Han soldiers are coming to attack!"
The melodious bell sounds and Qilipu's hoarse roar instantly made the entire Wuerzhai boil.
