Chastity Layman

Wild music filled the village.

The Fanmin of the Danshui Society are singing and dancing. In the simple wooden village, there are hundreds of dry fences standing firmly. In the center of the village, there is a huge open space. At this time, the Fanmin are happily killing deer, slaughtering pigs and roasting meat.

Today is a festive day in the village. It is the day when Chief Bud's son, Ajie, gets married. The young man married the daughter of the chief of Shuiwei Society, one of the eight societies of Phoenix Mountain, who also belonged to the Aga tribe.

The two communities belong to the same family, one lives in the north of Tamsui Creek and the other lives in the south of Tamsui Creek, they are adjacent to each other across the creek, and they usually have a good relationship.

Hundreds of people from Shuiwei Club came to see off their relatives, bringing with them countless dowries of brides, eighteen pigs, eighteen deer, eighteen pheasants and ducks, eight cows and eight horses.

In addition, there are nine bolts of silk and nine bolts of cloth, nine boxes of tea and nine boxes of salt. In addition, there are a lot of dowry items such as horn combs, ivory chopsticks, etc., but most of them were bought from Danshui village and Han people before.

The chief of the Tamsui Society was very happy today. He started killing pigs and cattle early in the morning, and brought out the wild deer, boar, rabbit, pheasant, and all kinds of fish and shrimp caught in the river for a feast. .

A large iron pot was set up. These iron pots were also exchanged from the Han people. Each iron pot was a symbol of financial power.

"The Han people in the port are about to give in, right?"

Maka, the chief of the Watertail Society, is a strong man, and he specially put on a robe made of silk today.

Opposite him, the president of Tamsui, Bud, was pouring wine for him. This wine was also exchanged from the port. Compared with their own brewed wine, it was much better, but the price was also very expensive.

"Well, they haven't received a piece of camphor for half a year, and maybe we haven't bought goods from them for a long time, and now our agency will take back the land that we sold to them. They don't even have a place to stay. Of course they are in a panic. Yes. The steward surnamed Liang came to me several times to discuss, hoping that we can cooperate again, hahaha."

Maka picked up the ox horn wine glass and took a sip of the wine. The wine was indeed full-bodied and strong, but the stamina was a bit strong. Men in the tribe liked to drink, but they were often drunk by this wine.

"You can't let go easily. Those damn Han people, I heard that they transport our camphor across the sea, simply reprocess and package it there, and get ten times the profit by changing hands. Do they really think we are fools? And they sell The goods that were given to us are also very expensive, and we worked hard to refine incense, but in the end we all worked hard for them, how could this be possible?"

Bud laughed and said, "It won't be long before they have to give in. By then, we will be able to get more Han merchants for every 30 pennies we bear."

As a fan club that is only adjacent to the Han people in Danshui Port, the Shuwei Club in Marca, like the Danshui Club in Bud, is the first to get the moon because it is close to the water. At first, they only traded some things for their own use with the Han people. Later, they discovered that these Han people The goods of the Han people were very popular, so they began to sell the goods from the Han people to other tribes, and even sold them to the mountain tribes in the mountains.

They easily earned several times the difference.

Later, they simply bought camphor incense from Shengfan in the mountains, and then sold it to the Han people.

In this way, reselling on both sides, buying low and selling high, is profitable.

But as he said, although they made a lot of profits from the Han people, most of the money flowed into the Han shops in the port in the end. Knives and iron pans, even porcelain, pottery and woodware, all kinds of jewelry, needlework, etc., there is always what they want.

Quite a few social residents even owed a lot of money on credit from Han merchants, and they couldn’t repay it when it was due, and they had to pay interest. It was refreshing when buying things and keeping accounts, and it was comfortable when drinking and buying knives, but when they were urged to pay Always unhappy.

In the end, they could only scold the Han people for being treacherous, so they simply raised the price of camphor, adding more and more, and asked the Han merchants to lower the price of the goods.

When the Han people disagreed, they blocked Danshui Port, forbidding them to contact and trade with other tribes, and even wanted to take back the land they had sold, in order to force the Han merchants to back down.

"What if those treacherous Han merchants still don't agree?" Maka said, "You know that we are almost inseparable from their goods now, and we have bought too much camphor now, and even a lot of them have not paid yet. Yes, the mountains are already urgent, if you don’t pay, they will be in a hurry.”

"Wait a minute, the Han people must be more impatient than us."

"What if, I mean if they still won't budge?"

Bud gritted his teeth, "If that's the case, then we will gather our troops and snatch the port back, and then all the goods in the warehouse will be ours, even the more than 3,000 people will be ours. "

Although Danshui Port with more than 3,000 people is not small, there are more than 12,000 people in the Eighth Society of Phoenix Mountain of the Aga tribe, and there are more than 4,000 strong men alone. They thought that if they really wanted to fight, those Han people would definitely not be their opponents.

"Did you invite the Han people in the port to the wedding today?"

"No, this is our wedding, why invite outsiders?"

·······

Huansi Island Cutter, who was given the name Qin Huan, and two other Fan leaders from Fulao Mountain, led seven battalions of 3,500 Fans, holding antler spears and knives, marching towards Danshuishe.

They headed east along the Danshui Creek, heading straight for Phoenix Mountain.

This time they were accompanied by 150 cavalrymen of the Marine Corps. They rode tall horses, wore armor, and ran around the team with bows and spears.

There are tall weeds everywhere.

Such flat fertile soil with plenty of rain is all barren.

A group of wild deer looking for food was disturbed and jumped to the other side. Qin Huan looked at those plump deer and couldn't help thinking of the days when he was hunting with his father and brother when he was young.

What a fat herd of deer.

If it wasn't for the mission, he would have shot all the deer.

There were guides led by people from the port, and they soon arrived near Danshuishe.

At a distance of only a few miles, Qin Huan ordered his horse to stop and rest for half an hour. Now the chiefs of each battalion discussed the attack plan again.

A guide returns.

"The son of the chief of the Tamsui Society got married today, and there are still many members of the Shuiwei Society in the village, two or three hundred more than expected."

Qin Huan laughed when he heard the news.

"A wedding? Hahaha, it's a coincidence that the chief's son is getting married, so the wedding will be very lively. They will sing, dance and drink, and many people will get drunk in the end. This is a good opportunity."

The leader of the cavalry was one of the three cavalry leaders. He said with some disdain, "Is this the way to deal with mere thousands of people? Just kill them."

Qin Huan insisted on waiting. Although he had many people in his hands, this was his first battle, and he hoped to perform well in front of Duke Wei.

He decided to wait until dark before launching his raid.

"I suggest that the troops should be divided into two groups, and go to Shuiwei Club. After dark, we will work together to destroy two villages at once."

The captain asked, "How will the moon be tonight?"

"There won't be any moonlight tonight, it's dark and dark." Qin Huan told the captain that such a night is suitable for a surprise attack, "We want to exchange for the greatest victory with the least casualties."

The captain disagreed, "You are the chief general appointed by Duke Wei, since you insist, then I will listen to you."

Qin Huan divided up three battalions of 1,500 men, and invited two cavalry teams to go with him.

The rest of the people hid in the tall weeds, quietly waiting for the dark.

They waited until it was completely dark, and they ate dry food and drank water in silence.

"Whoever urinates, whoever pisses, whoever pisses, leave in half a quarter of an hour."

When everything was ready, they quietly walked towards Danshui village.

Everything was as Qin Huan expected, the village was unprepared, many men passed out, even many women passed out, and some drunk people were still singing.

They approached quietly and killed several fans who also smelled of alcohol along the way.

The fourth battalion of 2,000 people rushed into the village like a tide in the dark night, and Qin Huan rushed directly to the largest house in the center of the village with an antler spear in hand.

A fan soldier rushed up to the upper floor of the dry fence wooden house, raised his big foot, kicked the door open violently, and then rushed into the house like a whirlwind.

The fan who was lying drunk on the wooden board was still sleeping like a pig. There were exclamations of women and children in the room, but they were all knocked down after a few sounds.

Fanzi kept in mind the saying that the dead only reward half the living, and after entering the storm ship's fist and kick attack, he knocked people down, then took out ropes to tie them up, and then rummaged through boxes and cabinets to find the loot...

When Qin Huan led people to the center of the village, the groom was bridal with the bride, and there was a creaking sound in the upstairs room, while Baka and Ade's in-laws downstairs were still drinking and eating meat.

Both of them were already flushed from eating, and they were seven or eight points drunk.

When the door was kicked open, the two of them were a little annoyed, thinking that another drunk barged in, but when they saw a group of strangers wearing rattan armor and carrying deer spears, their faces paled in shock, drunk All gone for a few minutes.

"who?"

Maka yelled, seeing that the attire looks like a fan from the island, but it is very strange, especially the equipment of these people is very good, antler spears, iron knives, and some even carry bows on their backs, those bows are better than those of their tribe too much.

"Who is Bud?" Qin Huan asked.

"I'm Bud, brother, what race and community are you from?"

Qin Huan sneered twice, picked up the antler spear and threw it at it. Maka and Maka avoided it, but the reaction of the drunken body was a little slower.

The two were quickly knocked down, several people behind Qin Huan rushed forward and tied them up, Qin Huan then rushed upstairs, the door was kicked open, a young girl in the room let out a scream, panicked I went to pull the blanket to cover my body, but when I pulled the top, the bottom was exposed again, and I wished I could have two more hands.

"Who are you?" the groom Ajie shouted angrily.

Qin Huan stepped forward and swept Ajie down with a spear, and then embraced the bride, who was as frightened as a bird, into her arms.

The girl struggled and kicked angrily.

Someone laughed and said, "Grandpa has taken a fancy to this girl? Let's take this kid down and leave the upstairs for Grandpa and the girl."

Qin Huan hit the girl on the neck with a knife, knocking her out, "When will you still be interested? But this girl is good, keep it for Wei Gong, and give it to Wei Gong to wash her feet later."

Several fans then laughed.

"Tie people up tightly. One is worth two thousand dollars. Don't kill them, or they won't be worth much."

Under the dark night, there was chaos in the Danshui Club, with shouts and killings everywhere...
