Chapter 61 The woman on the road of the caravan
When the horse teams all crossed the river, twilight fell completely. After a while, the surroundings were already swallowed up by the darkness that was missing. Everyone had to light a flint, and under the reflection of the fire, they looked for the faint stone road to turn to the bottom of the slope.
When camping in the leeward at the bottom of the cliff, the two horse gangs were mixed together. It seemed that the two horse gangs and the main members of the horse gang were familiar with each other and did not hide much from each other. Ajiumei's team came from the north, and her destination was the same as us who were traveling east, and it was also Dali, which was called Nanzhao at that time.
Under the introduction of Uncle Gesang, the White Deer boy was taken away by the monks with Luo Quan. After hearing me talk about the "oracle" related matters, he actually took out all kinds of care for the boy, and even the fine food that everyone was greedy when they saw it. The boy was also childish. When he saw the delicious food, he forgot Sharon and me, turned his head and ignored us.
Haha, this is a child. So what if it is really God-given, at least before awakening, it is still as vulgar as a mortal.
Among the people who were nestled in the same bonfire as us, there was also the young horse-driving man who had just saved the trapped Jiang Xin. He was from Ajiumei, but he was very familiar with the young man named He who smiled and chatted with us. After a while, he got into a relationship with everyone.
The young man called "Huowa", and he was really Ajiumei's adopted son. He called Ajiumei "Aniang", just like the other kid named Shuiwa. He heard that Shuiwa is Ajiumei's biological son, but the female Ma Guotou treats both equally, and the skills they teach them are no different from the food they get.
As for the name of "Shui and Fire" son, I guess the main reason is that most people who drive horses are not well educated, but think that the job of driving horses is like going through fire and water, and is in danger of life at any time. Therefore, it is simple and practical to choose a "bad name" that is easy to remember and call.
Speaking of which, when the fire boy saw Sharon sitting quietly beside me, with a plump and strong body, and blonde hair and blue eyes, he was really curious, staring at us in the direction through the bonfire. Sharon and I didn't realize anything, but it made the young man surnamed He so hard that he couldn't help but kid him with his elbow.
To be honest, the inclusiveness of this ancient horse gang road is actually very strong, so strong that we expected. When Sharon and I first got into the team, we were worried all day long how to lie if her true face of blonde hair, blue eyes and white skin were exposed. However, after she showed up, the people who were walking with us just took a symbolic look, but they didn't say much.
Even the uncle Gesang, who was in charge of the helm, just casually asked us about our basic origins, then glanced at us with a hawk-like look, and then ignored us. I guess his seemingly terrifying scrutiny was nothing more than using his simple instinct to distinguish whether we have harm to others. If not, then everyone makes money, no matter where you come from and where your hometown is.
This really coincides with the Silk Road, which communicates cultural exchanges between Europe and Asia. No wonder, many years later, scholars who do this research will intentionally or unintentionally compare the two cultural corridors and affectionately call the Ancient Tea-Horse Road, which is the "Other Silk Road" that travels through the southwest and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
So, when he saw the fireboy staring at the foreign girl Sharon, I just thought that he had never seen the world. Perhaps, when he followed Ajiumei to Lhasa one day and saw those "Indian A San" friends with yellow and black skin like a guy named He, he would probably be more tolerant and less curious about other races in the world.
"Hey, you are a young man! Don't stare at others! This is the wife of the Li brother. Although he is from the Western Regions, it is a bit strange, but he is a girl with the Lord after all. You are like this. I'll tell you my mother!"
Seeing that the naughty face of the fire baby was still so stupid, the young man looked at him with a smile and couldn't help but raise his voice. In the eyes of him and his companions, Sharon, who was inseparable from me, was probably already accused of being my woman.
"Tell you! My mother said, I'm already at the age of a chubby spring, and she won't care about me in this kind of thing." The Huowa was really funny. Seeing the He family's brother move out and his mother pressing him down, he was really a stubborn donkey - he was stubborn to the end.
Both of them spoke local dialects mixed with dialects. Sharon didn't understand them very much, so he just said that he was praising her, so he naturally didn't care much. He just roasted two tsampa silently and handed me one. Then he exchanged the soju wine from Ajiumei's horse gang, and ate it very comfortably.
"Haha..." I saw that she didn't realize that the young man fell in love with her, and I had no intention of explaining, so I took the tsampa and the young man named He absent-mindedly listening to Huowa and the guy named He, while eating the dry food in his mouth, thinking about something.
Including the moon time we followed the horse gang to the ancient road, we have been dragged into this strange time and space by the strange twelve bronze mirrors. Luo Quan's clue is right in front of us, but there is no valuable discovery for a long time. I don't know when I can clear the clouds and mist, see the mystery, and find a way to return to the world. Thinking about it, my mood is really complicated with melancholy and fatigue.
Fortunately, along the way, Sharon, who was involved, kept silently assisting and supporting me. Sometimes, even I didn’t know whether the decision I made was right or wrong, and she didn’t ask the details to support her. It was quite rare to think about it.
In the past, I only regarded her as a time traveler who also traveled from the present world. Occasionally, because of her polar Valkyrie bloodline, I used her as a combat power to clear obstacles, but I never regarded her as a candidate for a partner. If it weren't for the He family's brother, I wouldn't have thought that in the eyes of outsiders, I wouldn't have thought that I had this relationship with her.
Thinking of this, I took it seriously to take advantage of the alcohol to take a look at Sharon. Although her face was as sharp as a foreigner, when you look closely, she could really be considered fair-skinned and beautiful. Coupled with her innate plump body and graceful figure, she was indeed a bit imaginative.
At this time, Sharon, who had finished eating the dry food in his hand, was doing nothing and couldn't understand the local dialect of the rough men around him. When he saw me, he raised his eyebrows at me inadvertently. In an instant, the fleeting fear in her eyes was captured by my naked eyes without any omissions.
It turns out that this big girl with thinness and thickness would be panicked?! It seems that Sharon, in addition to his hot figure, also has a very womanly appearance.
Thinking of this, when I saw her embarrassed expression that was unscrupulously teasing the drunken people, she couldn't sit still, so she could only reach out and hug her in her arms and pull her aside.
Seeing my sovereignty-like behavior, the young horsemen realized that their behavior was a little overstepped and obviously restrained. Even the arrogant fire kid was noticed and was clearly noticed. Ajiumei, who swept across the bonfire with her eyes like an eagle, shouted back sternly.
Others only think that she controls her children, but I only see clearly that the reason why Ajiumei's gaze is the water-shaped mark on my wrist that was inadvertently exposed, which symbolized the blessing of Mian Zimm.
This is different from walking around the world. There are certainly people who are willing to be revenge and are brave and fierce, but such people are often only proud for a moment. After bullying others, they often have no help when they fall into dangerous places, and die in various natural dangers that are as numerous as cows.
Therefore, those who survive may not be the strongest, but must be the one with the best popularity. Ajiumei’s horse gang team is a typical example.
According to Lao Majiaozi, her horse team is far from the largest, but it is definitely the most popular among all the people on the ancient road. Why? It is because when her team is riding, whenever she sees a horse team whistling in danger, she will arrive at the first time to rescue her, just like today.
Sometimes it is easy for people to put their hearts in mind, but it is difficult to do it. Because of this, her team has a high prestige along the way, and some people in the industry are unwilling to accept it, but after being rescued by her a few times after being in danger, she can only feel ashamed of herself. What’s more interesting is that she never returns her help, and when she is forced to do so by others, she only makes one request:
"When I encounter someone who needs help, I will save me once and I will repay my favor." This is how it is circulated on the ancient road, and it has been passed down for thirty years.
Seeing me looking up at Ajiumei sitting on a high place, raising a glass to Uncle Gesang and drinking with him. The second-waisted Shuihuo next to me was respectful, the young man surnamed He couldn't help but talk, "She is really a living legend."
When the father and grandfather of the young man surnamed He were running, she was already a well-known name.
Any woman on the road to the horse gang has a miserable fate. Because as long as the woman who is related to the horse gang has nothing but these endings:
One is that I waited for my relatives to come back all day long. In the morning, I ran to the village entrance to wash clothes while looking around, for fear that my husband and children would never come back if they were accidentally.
That would be better, at least your family would be alive. The rest of the people, either the husband went to another place and found a new love in the distance, and they might not come back. Those who are well-educated may even send a letter to the wild geese, but after seeing the stranger, they simply greeted him without saying a word, and there were many people who were missing.
Even worse, it is like having an accident on a zip line before and having a life of death. If the horse gang is still there, it can still bring about a definite death news when returning. But whether it is running away or encountering an unexpected horse-driving man, those who are left behind are sad widowed women.
It is logical that they remarry, keep their integrity or commit suicide, but there are too many moral kidnappings in the world, and they use frames and lines out of nothing to bind the world's thinking, making the ignorant and simple ordinary people think that only those who set up chastity arches and those who are filial to their parents-in-law and waste their lives are orthodox women who keep their wives. Others who do not follow the worldly principles are deviant.
In this way, Ajiumei is not a conservative woman at all.
