Dream is still Chu Liuxiang

After leaving Aduanwei and crossing the Kunlun Mountains, people can cross the border of the Ming Dynasty.There are not too many soldiers and guards here, let alone the slightest smell of gunpowder.Because they are all due to one reason, that is the "Silk Road", which has been famous both at home and abroad for hundreds of years.The prosperity of the market can be seen everywhere here, and friendly nations are like neighbors. Why not reflect the prosperity of a prosperous dynasty in this situation.

To the west of the Kunlun Mountains is the well-known Dohuolati tribe, whose territory includes the terrifying "Taklamakan Desert".

The mention of the Duohuolati tribe can be traced back as far as 1318 at the beginning of the [-]th century.At that time, Kebe Khan of the Chagatai Khanate moved the ruling center of the Khanate to the Hezhong area, and began to have a more direct relationship with the settled ethnic groups.

In 1326 AD, Daermashili inherited the throne of the Chagatai Khanate.Not long after he succeeded the Khan, some conservative forces in the Khanate who were keen on nomadic life betrayed him and publicly launched a rebellion.In 1334 A.D., Daer Mashili Khan was abolished, and the internal chaos of the Khanate continued. Finally, the Chagatai Khanate was divided into two: the eastern part of the Khanate (East of Congling) formed the Eastern Region headed by the Yimi tribe of Dohuolati. The Chagatai Khanate; the west of the Khanate (West of Congling) formed the Timur Empire headed by the Yimi of the Baru Lasi tribe.

The Dokhalati tribe of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate should belong to the Nilun Mongols. When the Chagatai Khanate was first established, Genghis Khan bestowed part of the Dokholati people to Chagatai.During the period when Baci Khan ruled the Chagatai Khanate (1266-1271 AD), the Chagatai Khanate and the Yuan Dynasty fought for the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains. Kashgar) area, and incorporated it into the territory of the Chagatai Khanate (Mr. Liu Yingsheng's doctoral dissertation: "Compendium of History of the Chagatai Khanate" [printed version] has more detailed records , interested readers may wish to find it to read), and the Duohuolati tribe also entered the south of the Tianshan Mountains because of this, and gradually developed and expanded after the 57th century.

After the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, the Duohuolati people quickly established friendly diplomatic relations with the Ming Dynasty.Soon after Hei's son Huo Zhe Khan ascended the Khan throne, he immediately sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty and arrived in Nanjing in 1391 AD.Immediately after the meeting with Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, he also sent envoys to pay a return visit. Since then, there has been a historical saying that "the envoys of the Western Regions are endless" (from "Ming History? Biography of the Western Regions", Volume 332).At that time, there was an anecdote between the Ming Dynasty and the Western Regions that "the stations are connected, the roads are unblocked, and people from far away countries get their benefits" (from "Ming History? Biography of the Western Regions", Volume 332), it can be seen that Duo Huo at that time What a glorious moment the Lati tribe is.

It was already hot summer, but the main road was still full of people coming and going.People in all kinds of costumes either talked carefully in twos and threes, or wandered in groups of five or six to watch.There were also many businessmen walking in groups, causing the "jingle" bells on the camels to be heard from time to time.

A burst of crisp laughter attracted the lingering eyes of passers-by, and then he snorted softly: "I said Xiaobiao, can you be a little quieter? You are afraid that others will not notice us!" , I believe all the judges have already guessed who they are.

That's right, they are Su Rongrong, Li Hongxiu, Song Tian'er and Cui Yu who went to the Western Regions to solve the "Heart Sutra of Heaven and Earth".

Because after Songpanwei destroyed the "good thing" of the "Red Moon" organization, Su Rongrong realized that the future whereabouts of herself and others might be controlled by the "Red Moon" organization.So after "disappearing" Wu Buzhi, Su Rongrong completely "reformed" herself and the other four.

Under her skillful skill of disguise, the four of them quickly got rid of the harassment of the heroes of the rivers and lakes, and even disrupted the two-pronged "perfect" plan of the "Red Moon" organization.

Since then, they have been going down all the way, and they are peaceful and brisk.Arriving at the final destination of this trip today, how can everyone not feel happy.

Song Tian'er pouted her lips and said, "Now I can finally regain my original beauty, how can you tell me not to be happy? Could it be that you are still nostalgic for that sloppy face before!"

Li Hongxiu said angrily: "No matter how sloppy my appearance is, it is better than your slanted nose! It makes people laugh from the bottom of their hearts when they see it."

Song Tian'er pulled Su Rongrong and said, "Sister Rongrong, Hongxiu is bullying me again, please help me teach her a lesson!"

Su Rongrong smiled, and said: "You two are mischievous, I will not help anyone."

Song Tian'er made a face and said, "Isn't that what a mischievous rascal looks like?"

Everyone smiled lightly when they saw this, but when they heard her, they said again: "Sister Rongrong, you don't have to help me this time, but you must promise me that if you need to dress up like this again in the future, you must put me on the road." Just pretend to look better than Hongxiu!"

Cui Yu smiled and said, "Can you compare these things? Brother Cui really admires you."

Song Tian'er proudly said: "There are still many things I can make you admire! Just slowly admire enough!"

Cui Yu saluted hurriedly, suppressed a smile and said, "Then don't I want to thank Sister Tian'er for your teaching?"

Song Tian'er snorted softly, turned to Su Rongrong and said, "Sister Rongrong, since we don't need to dress up in Yi Rongqiao, why can't we change into our daughter's clothes?"

Su Rongrong didn't look directly at her, and said with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "Do you hate wearing men's clothing very much now?"

Song Tian'er coyly said: "It's not really annoying! But I always feel comfortable not wearing women's clothes..."

Li Hongxiu said aside: "If you really change into women's clothes, I think you are already very comfortable before you come here."

Song Tian'er looked at her inexplicably, but seeing Su Rongrong said with a smile: "Before we entered the territory of Dedohuolati, Hongxiu reminded me that this Mongolian tribe has a very special custom..."

"What customs?" Song Tian'er couldn't help but asked eagerly.

Su Rongrong glanced at her, and said with a smile: "Once the Duohuolati people see a young and beautiful woman who is not of their own clan, they will have a special behavior..." This time she deliberately procrastinated, not going any further. Song Tian'er pulled her arm straight, and shouted, my good sister, hurry up!

Li Hongxiu giggled coquettishly and said: "Have you ever heard of such a thing as marriage robbing? The Duohuolati men here have such a special hobby. Would you like to restore women's clothing to try?"

Song Tian'er was startled, and said: "When you see a young and beautiful woman, you will snatch it. This can still be called snatching a marriage! It's almost the same as snatching someone. But I'm not afraid of him! Let him come and I'll blow the other away. Come on!" One pair, I'll blow one pair away!" As he spoke, he made a couple of gestures.

After everyone laughed, Su Rongrong said: "I know you are capable now, there are not many people in the world who can provoke you, Miss Song, but you must not forget the purpose of our trip, to avoid troubles as much as possible, We have to avoid it as much as possible.”

Song Tian'er nodded quickly, and said with a smile: "Tian'er must obediently listen to you, Sister Rongrong." After speaking, she hugged Su Rongrong's arm affectionately, very warm.

Su Rongrong shook her head and smiled, "I really can't do anything with you naughty bastard!"

Song Tian'er took the opportunity to say: "Why are the Duohuolati people here so strange? They still have the custom of robbing women, it's simply too barbaric."

Su Rongrong smiled and said: "The Duohuolati people were originally a branch of the Mongolian tribe, but they were more thorough in handling foreign marriages than other tribes. This time, thanks to the reminder from Hongxiu, otherwise I would have almost given Forget about it."

Li Hongxiu said: "I also learned about it from the records in the book, but I don't know exactly whether this is the case."

Su Rongrong glanced at Cui Yu out of the corner of her eye, and the two daughters immediately understood, so they quickly turned to Cui Yu's side, and Song Tian'er was the first to ask, "Brother Cui, what Hongxiu just said is true. ?”

Cui Yu said with a smile: "Of course it is true. If Hongxiumei hadn't reminded Rongrong, I would have told her about it, so ah! Here you have to put away the words and deeds of your daughters. Behave yourself, otherwise, if you reveal your secrets, you will probably be snatched away by the man of Duo Huo Lati to marry him."

Song Tian'er snorted, "You want to scare me? You're not afraid!"

The four of them walked all the way talking and laughing, and quickly swept away the fatigue of the journey, and even the originally stale air around them seemed to become particularly fresh.

A few days later, at noon, everyone took a rest in the gazebo beside the road, after taking out dry food, water and other things to fill their bellies.Li Hongxiu asked softly: "Brother Cui, how far is it from here to Luo Bu?"

Cui Yu looked ahead and said, "It's not far away. Based on our current footsteps, we will probably be able to reach there by tomorrow night."

Song Tian'er said happily: "Great! I can finally take a good rest. We have been tossing a lot during this time."

After Su Rongrong and the other three heard the words, they looked at each other and smiled, Cui Yu hurriedly said: "When we get there, not only can we have a good rest, if you like, I can also take you around..."

Li Hongxiu hurriedly said: "Including the 'Taklamakan Desert'?"

Cui Yu knew that Li Hongxiu had a strong "hungry for knowledge", so he smiled at her and said, "As long as you want to go there, I can take you there, but I have to declare in advance that I must not go deep into the desert. go."

Song Tian'er was startled, she shook her little hand, and said, "No! No! I won't go to that ghostly place even if I'm killed! Let alone whether it goes deep or not."

Li Hongxiu pulled Su Rongrong beside him, and said to Song Tian'er: "That's good! You can stay alone at Brother Cui's house and rest enough! Then Brother Cui will take me and Sister Rongrong together."

Song Tian'er hurriedly pulled Su Rongrong over and said, "Sister Rongrong won't go to that ghostly place with you! Right? Sister Rongrong."

Su Rongrong was pulled over by these two girls, and I tossed and tossed as I pulled her over, I couldn't help shaking my head and chuckling: "You don't want to stop soon? I'm afraid I haven't reached Luo Bu's place yet, I have to let you two mischievous ghosts give me a hand today." Pulled apart."

After the two girls heard the words, they laughed for a while, and they all hugged Su Rongrong affectionately, and said in unison: "I don't want to part with you, Sister Rongrong!"

At this time, two middle-aged men and women in Mongolian costumes passed by here. They originally planned to enter the pavilion to take a rest, but when they saw Su Rongrong and others in the pavilion, their expressions suddenly changed, and they turned around and left quickly. go.

How alert Su Rongrong was, she quickly discovered this inadvertent move.Immediately turned to everyone and said, "Did you notice one thing?"

Cui Yu hurriedly said, "What's the matter?"

Su Rongrong said in a low voice: "Although there is not a lot of people passing by here, we stayed in this gazebo for at least a stick of incense, and no traveler came into the pavilion to rest. Don't you think there is something wrong? place?"

After being reminded by her, everyone found an inexplicable strangeness.

It just so happened that three Mongolian men passed by here at this time, but when they noticed the four people in the gazebo, they turned around and hurried away.Observing from their expressions, it seems that there is anxiety or even fear.

Li Hongxiu frowned slightly, and said: "This matter is really weird, could it be that the problem lies in our clothes?"

Su Rongrong glanced at her approvingly, and said: "Hongxiu, you are getting better at observing things. Have you ever noticed that there are other Han people in the current flow of people?"

Cui Yu was startled, and said: "Yes, we just entered the Duohuolati region a few days ago, so we saw a lot of Han merchants and travelers. Afterwards, in order to save time, we specially selected some Walking along the trail, and at this time going deep into the Mongolian territory, the number of Han people will naturally decrease.” He paused and said, “But I grew up here, and I don’t think the Mongolians here are hostile to us Han people. Mentality! It's really weird..."

Song Tian'er had just seen Su Rongrong praised Li Hongxiu's tact, she felt dissatisfied in her heart, so she hurriedly replied: "Let's stop guessing here, why don't we catch two Mongolians and ask them to know everything. gone."

When she was proud of her "brilliant trick", Su Rongrong shook her head and said: "Don't be reckless! Tian'er, this matter must not be rushed, we just need to be careful on the road ahead, I don't see what they have done to us now Malicious. Maybe I'm overthinking, right?"

Song Tian'er pouted, drooped her head and said, "Oh..."

How could Su Rongrong not see through this little girl's mind, then pulled her with a smile and said: "Your method is very good, but before the matter is confirmed, we can't act recklessly. Don't forget Yes, this is the place of the Mongols."

Song Tian'er stuck out her tongue, and said embarrassedly: "Then let's get out of here quickly!" Then she yelled at Cui Yu: "Brother Cui, hurry up and lead the way, and if we continue to dawdle, I'm afraid the sky will kill you!" blacken."

Cui Yu smiled and responded lightly. After packing up his luggage, he took the three girls and continued to rush towards Luo Bu.

Night fell quickly, and although they walked over without any surprises along the way, most of the Mongolian poor people they encountered on the way kept them at a respectful distance.

Cui Yu said, "It's not right, something must have happened here."

Su Rongrong lowered her eyebrows in thought, but did not answer.

Li Hongxiu asked, "Brother Cui, where is your home in Luobu?"

Cui Yudao: "It's on the west side of the suburb of Luobu City. After all, my father and I are not Mongolians, so it's not convenient to settle down directly in the city. Besides, my father's nature is quiet, so living in the outer suburbs is just what I want."

Li Hongxiu nodded and said: "This is the best, it saves the trouble of entering the city."

Cui Yudao: "I think so too. Maybe after returning home, I can clearly understand what happened here from my father."

Su Rongrong looked at the sky and said, "Brother Cui, do you know where to stay nearby?"

Cui Yu pointed forward with his hand and said, "It's not far away. If we go a little further, we can see a tribal land where the Mongols living there are very hospitable. On my way to the Central Plains, I once Stayed there overnight."

Song Tian'er happily said: "Then what are we waiting for?" After saying that, she ran forward.

The total population of the Mongolian tribe in Nilun is not large, except for the original Mongolian-speaking tribes living around it, most of them are Turkic and Hongjira people.It is also heard that there is a very special clan rule in the tribe, which is to strictly follow the principle of clan exogamy (or called clan exogamy), that is, to maintain and continue to use the custom of snatching marriages.This point has already been written in Li Hongxiu's narration just now, and the extramarital marriage of the Dohuolati people has become an inviolable precept in the marriage customs of the Nilon and Mongolian tribes.
