Before the woman left, she solemnly told me her name.
She is not called maidservant, nor does she like this name. As a woman of the new era, having the name of maidservant hanging over her head makes her have trouble sleeping and eating. Unfortunately, the people living in this tribe are not human, and they are also They don’t understand what kind of struggle human women have gone through for thousands of years to gain the right to freedom, and how strong resistance will be caused by putting shackles on women again.
Yunxi.
This is a woman's name, a very artistic name.
She probably hadn't told anyone her name for a long time. When she said these two words before leaving, her eyes were so bright that people didn't dare to look directly at them.
I kept mumbling these two words, and it took a long time before I finally smiled.
I firmly believe that Yunxi should have suffered the same atrocities. What I said that day gave her hope, so she decided to stand up and resist.
In the paper bag were two round objects, the size of pigeon eggs.
I took a look outside the tent and saw two big men guarding the door sitting lazily basking in the sun. They had been guarding the tent all night and were exhausted. They were drinking to keep warm. I felt relieved and opened the paper bag.
These are two dark pills.
When I put it to my nose and smelled it, my eyes immediately widened.
Gunpowder?
I am very familiar with this smell. It is the smell of black powder. The soldiers and I sawed the heating pipes to make five rounds. The gunpowder was the black powder we prepared ourselves. We pounded the iron beans to beat people. How could I not recognize this thing? ?
I held the pill in my hand and rubbed it for a moment, and I felt that it didn't look like gunpowder. The texture of black gunpowder was finer than this. The texture of this thing was like kneaded sand.
After thinking for a moment, a smile appeared on my face, and I probably understood what it was!
Elixir!
Elixirs actually originated from the hands of those monsters, but the elixirs they produced were only effective for them, but they were poison to humans. Thousands of years ago, their elixir methods were spread and spread wildly. The rendered effects were coveted by human nobles, so that sorcerers became rampant and all kinds of strange elixirs emerged one after another.
These methods are absurd, but from a chemical point of view, this should be the most primitive chemical reaction.
Gunpowder was invented because of the method of alchemy. This method of alchemy is called fire alchemy.
There is no doubt that the elixir in my hand was made by the monsters in the tribe using the fire method to make elixirs. To them, it is a miracle elixir, but to us, it is the most primitive. gunpowder!
Can this thing really cure the sequelae of **** fragrance?
I am a little hesitant, but my hometown sets off fireworks every Spring Festival. Although the smoke and smell emitted after burning gunpowder are unpleasant, it is not likely to poison people to death. In the spirit of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, I He threw a dark pill into the brazier.
Hi!
The elixir immediately emitted brilliant firelight, and bursts of pungent smell emitted.
I used to feel dizzy when I smelled this smell, but now when I smelled it again, I felt my ears and eyes clear, my spirit was greatly invigorated, I clenched my fists, and my strength recovered a lot!
It works!
My eyes lit up.
But I was in no hurry to throw the second pill into the charcoal brazier.
The smell of this thing after burning is too great, and the yurt is ventilated from all sides. One may be able to cover it, but burning two at the same time may alert the guards outside. For safety reasons, I put away the second one. Two pills.
At this point, I have no problem walking.
……
When changing shifts at night, Yunxi finally arrived.
She still looked disheveled, but her gait was hurried. After entering the door, she knelt in front of me, quickly untied her cotton-padded coat, took out a piece of roasted mutton from her underwear and handed it to me.
The mutton was hot, and after roasting, oil splashed everywhere. She actually stuffed the mutton into her arms and hid it close to the meat. Her chest was red from the heat and there were blisters everywhere.
"What are you..."
I took the mutton and looked at her nervously.
"Eat quickly, I stole it, it's still warm."
Yun Xi's voice was very calm, and he said calmly: "Whether it's me or the guards outside, you can cut all the food brought in for you openly and stuff it into the chamber pot. I'll transport it out for you later and throw it out. Those things can't be Eat, they drugged you, and they have to make sure that you have no resistance before getting married. You must make them think that you have eaten those things, so that they will not be wary of you!"
My hands trembled, and I didn’t know what to say for a moment. I just felt like something was blocking my throat and my chest felt tight.
"I also want to survive."
Yunxi raised his head and glanced at me quietly, then whispered: "I hope you won't betray me and can keep your word and take me away."
"Definitely!"
I tore into the mutton with big mouthfuls.
It’s not that I’m craving for food, or that I’m hungry, it’s just that my shoulders suddenly feel a little heavy, carrying the lives and hopes of two people. I have to eat it. Only by eating can I ensure my calories and physical strength, and I can recover better. quick!
Yunxi seemed very pleased with this. She looked at me with gentle eyes and murmured: "It has been two years since I was caught here. Not long after I came here, they arrested another man. I look like Take care of that man as I take care of you. He said he would take me to escape, so I tried my best to help him. Later... when he was escaping, he abandoned me and ran away..."
I looked up and asked: "What happened next?"
Yun Xi silently lifted her hair. She had a pretty face, but there were several hideous scars on her face, which were shocking.
"Those monsters beat me black and blue and used knives to disfigure my face."
Yun Xi said lightly: "That man didn't run out. He was caught and burned alive. Before he died, he begged me, hoping that I would save him again. I turned around and left. Since then, I have taken care of him again. I met several people and many of them proposed similar ideas, but I rejected them all. But why would I take a gamble on you again?"
In the end, rather than asking me, she was asking herself.
No wonder she was so cautious at first.
I thought about it and asked, "What about you? Why did you end up in this place?"
"Seek death!"
Yunxi sneered and said: "I thought my husband was having an affair, so I had a fight with him and ran away from home. I originally wanted to travel along the Xinjiang Line to relax, but I just got off the bus when I arrived at Hami. I took a taxi from the train station and was put down before walking far, and then was pulled to this place."
After saying this, Yun Xi could only lament, seeming to regret her impulsiveness and willfulness. She shrugged and said helplessly: "These monsters will capture people every now and then. If they are obedient, they may become slaves. , or married into a wife, if they didn’t obey, they were almost killed.”
The business of this group of monsters is really...extensive!
It is both a falcon trade and a herdsman business. Now it is better, and the work of robbing people and killing people has been shouldered!
According to Yun Xi’s description, I think we should still be in the vast no-man’s land of the Northwest. If nothing unexpected happens, we should be at the junction of Qinghai and Xinjiang. There is a vast desert here, and this monster tribe is deep in the desert. Settled in an oasis somewhere, it is indeed very secluded. If you are really caught in this place, the sky will not respond to the calls, and the earth will not respond to the calls.
I'm a little worried. If we escape from here, can we really cross the vast no man's land and return to the city alive?
What species is this monster tribe?
Yunxi described it for a long time without saying anything. At present, I know nothing about my opponent.
"So what do they call marriage?"
I thought about it and asked in a low voice: "It's not a real marriage, right? What's going on?"
"For them it is indeed marriage."
Yunxi frowned and thought for a moment, then added: "But in my opinion, their so-called marriage is more like an ancient and weird sacrificial activity."
She looked at me with sympathy and said: "If you really performed this ritual with that Mei Duo, I'm afraid your end will not be too good..."
