Conquer the Dawn of Heaven
Chapter 12: wedding
Stared blankly at the whip wrapped around his wrist. Ding Mu felt liver tremor when he saw this thing.
The dark red spots on the whip were the blood stains left by his whipping, which made him a little vaguely excited and proud.
Ding Mu feels that he may seem to have a problem with his psychology. Is it true that he is abused and abused?
But what made him truly dazed was not some aspect of orientation, but another hand entangled with him by the whip.
Sophia held Ding Mu's hand tightly, her eyes could not stop blinking, her long eyelashes fanned out, and they set off a pair of big eyes that seemed to catch people's soul. Actual age.
At least at the beginning, Ding Mu thought that she should be a big girl, and Kunto directly called her "Bohemian woman".
But now he knows, this is actually just a child, she is 12 years old, but he does not know his age.
They are attending a wedding, to be precise, the wedding of the two of them.
After the woman named Xia Schina explained everything to him, Ding Mu remained silent for a long time before she realized what was going on.
In a word, he not only took off his orders in this era, but also played a flash marriage in a fashionable way.
"She accepted the engagement gift you gave her before, which shows that you already have an engagement."
"That short crossbow is ..."
"You are willing to get a whip for Sophia, according to the custom is to prove that you are willing to pay for her."
"that is because……"
"Your blood is mixed with her blood, and your destiny is fused together."
"Kona whip ..."
"So, your union should be blessed and recognized."
Xia Schina finally determined the legal basis of this marriage with authority.
"and so?"
"So, she is now your wife."
When Chasquina put Sophia's hand in Ding Mu's hand crawling on the carriage, he felt the heat from the girl's hand. The heat seemed to be hot to a corner in his heart, and he looked up Facing the enthusiasm revealed in Sophia's childishness, it was another thing completely different from her age. The enthusiasm even tinged Ding Mu's heart.
Although the injury on Ding Mu's back looked a bit heavy, he got better with the herbal treatment of Chasquina and a group of Gypsy women. He could get off the car in two days, and after a few days he could Walked with the convoy.
During this period, he had seen the young man named Gulja several times, and he could not help but admit that the physical fitness of the Gulja was much better than him, and he could ride it at least two days later The horse ran around Sophia's caravan.
During these few days, Ding Mu also learned something about Sophia from Chasquina.
It is suffocating that Sophia was not born aphasic, but was seriously ill when she was very young. Although she survived, she eventually lost her voice.
Even worse, because of her illness, Sophia ’s father lost the qualification to be the headman and was even driven out of the tribe!
"Nashan was really helpless at that time," Chasquina looked at Sophia, who was grooming the horse in the distance. "He knew that our herbal medicine could not save Sophia, so she secretly took her to a Jager wizard."
"You mean priest?"
"Yeah, that's the kind of person, and then the wizard cured Sophia, but it also violated the rules of the tribe. Gulja, the uncle of Gulja, now the headman and a group of people are pushing Nashan. He surrendered the headscarf and drove him out of the tribe. At that time, many people wanted to stay with him, but Gulja still drove him away, when Sophia was only 7 years old. "
"Sophia's father is loved by the tribe?" Ding Mu Ruo asked thoughtfully.
"Of course, but the mistakes he made are too heavy, even the elders have no way to speak for him," Chasquina said helplessly. "Gurga has always wanted to surpass Nashan in these years, but he may be able to To be a good headman, but to be stronger than Nashan, he doesn't believe it himself. "
"Can Nashan still come back to the clan?" Ding Mu asked.
"impossible."
Ding Mu noticed that Xia Schina's tone seemed a bit hesitant.
"Gurja, I mean that little, he seems to like Sophia quite a bit." Ding Mu asked again.
"Hey," Chasquina's thick lips flicked away. "He should hate you now. His uncle always wanted him to marry Sophia. Now you have robbed Sophia, but offended their uncle and nephew."
Ding Mu nodded silently, although some things are not very clear, but I have already guessed a rough idea.
The matter is actually very simple. For Gulja, he is the enemy of love, and for Gulja, it is an obstacle that prevents him from unifying the whole family.
It's true that there are disputes wherever there are people, even if they are said to be straightforward gypsies.
It seems that his future life may not be better, this is Ding Mu's idea at the time.
But soon he found that his judgment was not necessarily correct. At least that little Gulja had never been entangled again after being lashed out by his uncle for provoking him again.
Then, on a full moon night, his wedding with Sophia was officially held.
Become someone else ’s wife at the age of 12, which seems to be very common for the Gypsies. No one raised any objections, nor did anyone use any minor protection law to declare that Ding Mu was committing a crime.
Everything was done in accordance with the ancient customs of Gypsy. They sat side by side, ate the same dry cake, drank bitter willow water in the same cup, and then gently wrapped their hands with the whip that had been contaminated with their blood. together.
This means that their souls have been united together, and in the future they will taste sweetness together and experience suffering together until they reach the end of life together.
Ding Mu had no objection to this wedding.
Or he could not think of a reason for objection.
She rescued him during the crisis, and even got whipped for him.
He can't forget the look she looked back at when she was taken away.
Perhaps it was from the moment when she looked back, she walked into his heart.
The end of a tray covered with thick flannel is the gift from the man presented to the guests.
Ding Mu noticed that Sophia's lips were slightly pursed, and her dissatisfied look fell into Ding Mu's eyes, but she became a different kind of gorgeousness that was completely incompatible with her age. The part of Ding Mu's heart called conscience seemed to be "Boom" knocked hard.
"She is only 12 years old, you must not really become something that is not as good as beasts."
Ding Mu couldn't help warning himself.
As the wedding proceeded, Ding Mu began to be a little strange. He did n’t believe that the pair of uncles and nephews would give up so easily. When he saw Little Gurga ’s expression looking at him, he knew that this person would be in trouble. And his uncle would never give up Sophia, the chip that can help him stabilize the whole family.
Sure enough, when the elders followed the family rule to the last item, they asked aloud: "Who here is not willing to bless this couple", Gurja, who has been standing in front of a fire in the distance, suddenly suddenly Throw a bundle of blankets at the feet onto the open ground.
The original lively wedding immediately became silent.
The Gypsies have the custom of fighting for a duel, or it retains the characteristics of some ancient nomadic people.
Former Ding Mu once saw some knowledge in this respect when learning about the promotion of European culture.
It's just that this custom has long since disappeared in later generations. Even if some places are still followed, it is just as a traditional tradition. No one will take that one seriously.
But now, when the blanket used to wrap up the bride was thrown in front of him, the face of the little Gulja also showed undisguised killing intent.
Obviously, everything is ready. The groom, the bride, the challenger, and the instigators who started to block the surroundings of the tribes who tried to oppose this challenge with traditional rhetoric.
The old Gulja sitting in the middle finally smiled. He had been waiting for this time before, and now everything went smoothly according to his arrangement.
"Although love is the right of two people, tradition also needs to be respected," Old Gurga stood up and declared loudly, "The challenger also has the right to pursue his happiness, and the bride must accept the winner of the two as her. Husband, this is how our tribe thrives, and we are able to survive all the time because we follow the rules set by our ancestors. "
Chasquina quickly explained Ding Mu's words to Ding Mu, and then looked at Ding Mu nervously. She said that she was not as optimistic about this duel as everyone else, and some people even whispered, "This is murder, and The coward who stabbed the knife from behind. "
Obviously, although Xiao Guerjia is their tribe, there are still people who do not want to see Ding Mu killed because of various reasons.
Ding Mu stood up slowly, and from the moment Gulja threw the blanket, he knew that this battle was not only inevitable, and even if he did n’t die, there would be no result. From Gulja ’s eyes, It can be seen.
He wanted him to die.
"Are you going to kill me?"
Even so, Ding Mu asked a little extra.
"Yes, Jiajie, you must die here today."
Little Gurga didn't hide his killing intentions at all. The Gypsies would very frankly express their hatred towards the enemy.
Sophia also stood up, she carefully lifted the beautiful bride's dress in front of her, and then walked to Ding Mu in a few steps, while grabbing a sharp knife from the table next to Gulja.
"Don't hide behind a woman, come out and let me cut your neck." Little Guerjia shouted "Let everyone see how weak you are and let the woman protect."
"Are you sure you want to kill me?"
Ding Mu seemed to be sure if it was the case.
He caused the chuckles of the small Gurga associates around like this, and seemed to feel incredible for the stupidity of this Jiajie who had not yet understood what was going to happen.
Old Gurga also smiled, touching his curly beard, everything went well. The Jiajie was still very useful, at least even the wedding was prepared for his nephew.
When Gulja raised his flying knife and threatened him with a throat cut than his throat, Ding Mu moved!
He suddenly reached into Sofia's skirt, and when everyone was still puzzled, the hand he pulled back already had a short crossbow with a good string!
At the same time, he quickly put the two crossbow arrows that had been hidden in his hand into the slot.
"Bang ~"
Sorry hasn't been completely cut off from the face of little Gulja. With a muffled sound, two shadows have swept across the open space.
Then little Gulja fell to the ground!
Screaming around!
Old Gulja almost roared and jumped from the seat, he rushed to the motionless nephew lying on the ground.
When he saw that his nephew's chest only had two tails at the end, he raised his head and stared at Ding Mu with an angry look, shouting, "Jaj!"
With his roar, several gypsies rushed to Ding Mu!
"He is going to kill me." Ding Mu threw away the short crossbow, and then said in a positive tone, while his eyes were fixed on Old Gurga "and I killed him in a duel."
Several gypsies stopped, they began to stare at each other at a loss, and then looked at old Gulja together.
Old Gurga's face was slightly distorted. He knew the meaning of Ding Mu's words, and then he also understood why Ding Mu had been ridiculously asking his nephew if he wanted to kill him.
Only when he lured his nephew to publicly announce that he was going to kill him, would he have enough reason to kill Gulja.
"Cunning Jager!"
Old Gulja's face was trembling. He had no son. For him, little Gulja was his child. He also hoped that this nephew would marry Sophia and succeed him as the leader.
But now, this Jiajie has made all this empty.
An old man stood up. His orange-skinned, wrinkled face had no expression, only a pair of eyes gleamed.
Looked at Ding Mu, and the old man spoke slowly.
Ding Mu couldn't understand what he was talking about, and could only judge the possible result from the expressions of the people around him and Sophia next to him.
Finally, with the words of the old man, Sophia's face showed a rejoicing look, and the next Xia Schina looked relieved.
"The elder said you won in this duel," Chasquina first told Ding Mu this good news, and then said "but you killed our clan in the duel, but we still have to punish you."
"Punish?" Ding Mu instinctively took a step back and felt nervous in his heart. Although he had thought before killing Gulja, the Gypsies would not be able to avenge themselves because of following their traditions, but once they were really Is unruly, so the worst is waiting for him.
"Although it is a duel, it is a serious crime to kill someone else's son and let his family lose relatives and strong labor. You have to work for us, and it is the dirtiest and most tiring job," looked at Ding Mu A little bit of my pale face, Xia Schina said the following, "You must compensate the family of Gulja, because his parents are already dead, so the compensation is the leader, you have to pay for him It takes only a thousand days of work. "
A thousand days?
Ding Mu was stunned, his thoughts quickly turned in his head.
Not to mention three years, maybe one year or half a year, as long as you are not bad luck enough to meet robbers or wars, you can be sure to adapt to survive in this era.
By that time, he could take Sophia away from these gypsies.
With Sophia? Ding Mu didn't know when he had such a weird idea. It seemed that the girl next to him had really become his wife.
But looking at the old Gulja's eyes full of hatred, he knew that things in the future were not as simple as he thought.
It was only when he asked from Chasquina about what methods the uncle and nephew might use to stop their wedding, he had already made a decision.
He can't forget the attack that happened in the village of Lecce that night, and the eyes of the assassin who nearly killed him.
In the previous twenty years, he had never been stared at by the kind of eyes, and the naked murderousness made Ding Mulian wake up in his sleep.
He just saw that look in Little Gurga's eyes, which made Ding Mosi no doubt that he would kill himself whenever he had the opportunity.
Since sooner or later he will be harmed by him, it is better to start by being stronger!
He was ready. When he heard from Gorskina that Gurja might use tradition to challenge him at the wedding, Ding Mu decided to take a risk.
Sofia's offer was replaced by a few new skirts, and it was Sophia who asked Xiaschina to use her jewelry to quietly exchange it from a nearby town.
And the real gift-the short crossbow was hidden by Ding Mu under Sophia's bride's dress.
Think of a bride holding a murder weapon under her skirt to hold a wedding. This seems ridiculous, but with Ding Mu's insistence, Sophia finally agreed to his request.
It's just that Ding Mu was still hesitating until the end.
He knew that if he really killed Gulja, even if it was limited to the Gypsy tradition, then he would suffer revenge from Gulja, so he still hoped that things would not go that far.
But when he continuously asked, in exchange for Gurga's killing throat gestures, Ding Mu understood that he had no retreat, only to kill each other!
Take the crossbow, shoot the arrow, and pull the trigger!
This series of movements he practiced in secret many times, until the two crossbow arrows were shot, he had nothing else in his mind.
It was only when everything settled down, and looking at the crippled body of the little Gurga carried away by several gypsies, he really realized the terrible idea:
Killed himself!
And almost murdered someone!
At this time, Ding Mu's hands and feet were a little cold. He knew that it was not because of the weather, but because of his inner fear.
The wedding was no longer possible, and the Gypsies looked at Ding Mu with strange eyes when they left.
Guljia is a tribe, but Ding Mu followed the ancient tribal rules to kill him, UU reading www.uukanshu. com This makes many gypsies do not know how to deal with this murderer who just killed their clan.
"Tomorrow, I will get up early to work," the elder who announced the verdict let Xia Schina tell his words to Ding Mu, "The most tiring, the dirtiest and the hardest work, this is punishment."
To this, Ding Mu can only respond with a bitter smile.
Killed a person, but only used hard work as a punishment, which made him feel the smallness and lowliness of life in this era again.
Maybe I am really sentimental, and compared with the situation in the future, Gurga's things should really be put aside.
Ding Mu looked at the figure of old Gurga gradually disappearing into the night, thinking about it.
Sophia reached out and squeezed Ding Mu's arm, and when he saw him turning around, she uttered a soft "ah," and then pulled him towards the caravan.
Ding Mu's heart was suddenly hot, although the two of them lived together a few days ago, but today suddenly became different from usual.
Under the moonlight, the caravan seemed to be shrouded in a hazy halo, and it seemed to exude an inexplicable breath.
"Ah ~"
"Sophia, we are like this."
"what?"
"It's not like this."
"what!"
"Forget it, let's do this."
In the end, Ding Muhan but Sophia seemed to explode with a yelling temper, obediently crawled out of the corner of the caravan, and hugged the blanket into the newly-wed bridal tent.
Soon, Sophia's even light snoring came from the tent, and Ding Mu held a short crossbow against the tent and stared at the shadow of the camp under the dark moonlight.
From tomorrow on, we will really start living the life of the Gypsies. What will be waiting for him?
