Origin Chapter 163: A person with a surname
After Wu Qin and others left, the little girl came up. Before Wu Qin and Wu Chen were talking to him, the little girl was always beside him. People at this time were not like modern people, who could go far away casually. The little girl may have never left Daqiu in her life. Knowing that Wu Zhongyuan came from afar, she came over curiously to inquire about the situation outside.
Because the little girl tossed him before, Wu Zhongyuan didn't have a good impression of this little thing. What happened to the family, she told her about the customs of the north. The little girl was only sixteen years old this year, and she was the age of curiosity, and she listened with great interest.
Wu Zhongyuan naturally didn't just talk about it without asking. Through the conversation with the little girl, he first learned that the little girl was called A Tong. At this time, only the royal family and warriors had surnames, and ordinary people did not.
Then in this year, the situation of the bear clan has gotten worse, especially in the past six months, after the new Da Wu ascended the throne, eager to express himself, he frequently launched counterattacks to compete for the city previously occupied by the cattle and bird clan. I fought for a few cities and came back, but many people died, including warriors of all ranks and ordinary warriors. Only three of the older generation of purple qi masters died, and the new generation of purple qi warriors also died. A lot, and now there are only twenty or so Ziqi masters left in the entire bear clan.
The bear clan now has 15 Yuancheng. Although there are three more than a year ago, the population is much smaller. As for how many people died, Ah Tong does not know, but he has a general idea. , because when Wu Kuo left, there were only less than 50,000 people left in the bear clan, and now there are only about 40,000 people left.
Most of the people who died in the war were middle-aged men. The bear clan is now yin and yang are declining. Many women of the right age can't find the right person. In order to increase the population, the new Da Wu issued an order to cancel the limit on the number of wives for men. Not only is there no penalty for having a child, but there is also a reward, just like in modern Australia.
In addition, there are slaves at this time, but there are very few slaves in the bear clan, because the bear clan always loses battles, and the defeated side rarely captures prisoners, so there are no slaves to use.
Most of these situations are within Wu Zhongyuan's expectations. He is more concerned about what kind of person the current Da Wu is.
A Tong has never met the current Da Wu, but only knows his name is Wu Ao. He is in his early thirties this year. He is very handsome. He is the only remaining person with royal blood. He has courage and ideals. He is a bear The family's last hope.
Wu Zhongyuan is skeptical of Ah Tong's views. Courage and recklessness are different, ideals and delusions are not the same thing. Hundreds of thousands of people have died and there are only 50,000 left. With a solid foundation and solid foundation, he immediately launched a war, which shows that this person, like his predecessor, Da Wu, who cannibalized, is a good guy who rejoices.
In addition, three problems can be found through this matter. First, this person must be the son of his grandfather, and he is definitely not a fake puppet supported by a powerful minister. He hastily waged war at this stage.
Second, launching a war at this time is a very stupid decision. It is impossible for the wizards and warriors in the clan to object or dissuade him, but he still launched the war, which shows that Da Wu said nothing and is within the scope of his clan With supreme power, as long as it is his orders, his subordinates will unconditionally obey.
Third, the current Da Wu has mastered the high-level spells of the bear clan. If he is not a bullshit, he would not dare to start a war. He has undoubtedly learned high-level spells, and he thinks that he is the best in the world to dare to do anything wrong.
In all fairness, he is still very repulsive in his heart for this uncle who jumped out of nowhere. This is also human nature, because this position should have been his. But from the point of view of family affection, he also does not want this person to be a wine bag and rice bag. Although he is not a relative uncle, he is also related by blood. The most important thing is that if this person is not a bullshit, the unfortunate is the clan of the bear clan. The bear clan is now a family. The broken ship that has been seriously leaking, don't let this guy toss and sink.
The conversation can't be done at one time, and the old man can't ask questions when he is there. It is not unreasonable to say that people are old and mature. Some questions he asks are more targeted. If the old man hears it, it is easy to become suspicious. .
Fortunately, the old man is quite busy. There are thousands of people in Yuancheng. To take care of him, the old man becomes the only doctor, and people call him from time to time.
After the old man came back, A Tong would also ask him about the situation outside. According to the old man, there were many purple-clothed warriors in the city. Finally, the old man did not know why they came.
The old man didn't know, but Wu Zhongyuan could guess. Jiang Zhang had mentioned the emissary of the dragon when he was chasing Wu Chen before, and asked Wu Chen what the emissary of the dragon had told her. The warriors gathered here, probably related to this.
At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, a young man in his twenties, a young warrior, wore a light red cloak.
Who is the young man here to get medicine for? A Tong is very attentive to him. It can be seen that she likes this young man very much, and that young man seems to be interested in her.
It is said that women are jealous, but in fact men are also jealous. Seeing Wu Zhongyuan's appearance as Zhou Zheng, the young man's eyes were not very kind. Before leaving, he told Atong that he was not from the bear clan, and asked Atong to stay with him. distance.
After the young man left, Wu Zhongyuan asked A Tong who he was, and A Tong replied that the man was named Wu Shaoyong, the warrior in red here.
At this time, the concept of hierarchy is very heavy. In order to distinguish them from ordinary people and to show their noble status as warriors, their clothing is different from that of ordinary people. Clothes, whether it is a spring and summer single coat or a autumn and winter cloak, are uniformly distributed by the capital according to the warriors' different spiritual qi cultivation bases. Their nature is somewhat similar to modern military uniforms. .
In addition, the aura cultivation base of warriors is also their official rank, which is divided into Dongshen, Gaoxuan, Shengxuan, Dongxuan, Sandong, Dadong, Jushan, Dongyuan, Taixuanjiu, etc. Take Wu Qin as an example , he is the Jushan of Daqiu. It is clear at a glance and very intuitive. If his aura cultivation base is promoted from Jushan lilac to Dongyuan Ziqi, then he is Daqiu's Dongyuan.
Atong listened to Wu Shaoyong's words very much. Wu Shaoyong asked her to keep a distance from Wu Zhongyuan, so she stopped talking to Wu Zhongyuan, and only approached him when he was feeding.
As a result, Wu Zhongyuan could only lie down honestly, without a word for a day or a night. By the evening of the second day, Wu Zhongyuan began to mutter. It stands to reason that the most important meeting should be over by this time. , why no one cares about him.
When the old man came back in the evening, when he asked, he knew that the meeting was really over. Those warriors in purple had already left, even Wu Chen.
Hearing this news, Wu Zhongyuan was a little bit disappointed, but not very disappointed, because he didn't want any benefit at first, and he could leave when his physical strength recovered.
Wu Zhongyuan ate very little and didn't drink much water these days. It's not that he's not hungry, but it's that he can't move around now.
On the seventh day, he finally managed to get out of bed, baring his teeth and grinning in pain. Before, he only knew that his feet hurt, but he didn't know why, but now he realizes that the soles of his feet are full of blisters.
I insisted on going to the toilet, finally relaxed and had an appetite, but Ah Tong just thought he had a bad appetite, and still gave him a bowl of rice porridge, he was not full and did not ask for it.
A few days later, the situation has improved again, and you can move around from the vicinity. There are houses made of wood and stone in the city, but there are not many, most of them are mud brick and thatch houses, dilapidated There was depression, and most of the passersby were in ragged clothes, few were wearing linen, the majority were wrapped in animal skins, and some even wore straw curtains.
At this time, there were no concrete roads, all were dirt roads. Due to the melting snow, the city was muddy.
From time to time, people come to see the old man and Ah Tong to see a doctor. He feels in the way of staying in the house. He spends most of the time outside. It may be because he is wearing robbed cattle clothes, and many passers-by stop and look at him. .
Just as Wu Zhongyuan was squatting by the wall and looking at passers-by, several warriors came from the east, a total of four people, a dark blue cape, two red capes, and a light red cape, this man He recognized that it was Wu Shaoyong.
Wu Zhongyuan thought that the four of them were just passing by, but he didn't expect the four to stop in front of him, and the one who was headed was the old man who rushed out of the city to rescue him that night, "Your name is Zhongyuan? "
"Ah." Wu Zhongyuan stood up suspiciously.
"Congratulations," said the old man with a smile, "you helped Mrs. Chen return safely. She reported what happened that day to Da Wu, and Da Wu gave a reward."
"Oh." Wu Zhongyuan responded casually.
Seeing Wu Zhongyuan, there is no sense of fear and gratitude, the old man was a little disillusioned, and took out a sheepskin scroll from his sleeve, "Wu already knows about your situation. This family is prosperous, you have come from thousands of miles to vote, and you have made meritorious deeds, so I made an exception to give you the royal family name.”
Hearing the old man's words, Wu Zhongyuan felt very uncomfortable. What time has this happened? He didn't forget to brag and beat the drums. His clan is almost dead, and he is still prosperous.
Seeing Wu Zhongyuan frowning, the old man thought that he disliked the meager reward and explained, "If you have a royal family name, you are an aristocrat, and you have both farm and servants, and you have to practice Qi. This is a great gift."
Wu Zhongyuan wanted to say what I knew, but after thinking about it, he didn't say it, because if he really came from the Ma clan, he shouldn't know this.
"Thanks to the nobles for taking in." Wu Zhongyuan took the scroll.
The old man nodded with a smile, took out a wooden plaque from his sleeve and handed it over, "This is a training method for the mind of the cave gods of this tribe. After reciting it, I will return the plaque."
Wu Zhongyuan even memorized the Qi practice of Jushan Lavender by heart. This thing is useless to him, but he should take it, and he should thank him.
After the main business was done, the old man brought another person back, leaving Wu Shaoyong to take charge of the specific matters.
As a person with a surname, you must have a place to live. I don't know if Wu Shaoyong deliberately made things difficult or what, he chose a small and dilapidated house for him
With the house, Wu Shaoyong didn't let him live with Ah Tong, and let him move there immediately.
Wu Zhongyuan didn't say anything, just move.
Not long after, Wu Shaoyong brought two old aunts who were about to lose their teeth, "This is your servant."
Wu Zhongyuan couldn't bear it any longer, "I don't want it, take it away..."
