Dressed as a widow, raising cubs, farming and building infrastructure in Ming Dynasty

Bals concluded: "In other words, this time we have to bury alive people, it is a temporary decision. There are few people in our grassland, women have a heavy work burden, they don't have many children, and they can feed less after they are born. Each one Children are the treasures of the family. A hundred children who were sacrificed for burial correspond to a hundred angry families. This shaman is not trying to pray for the Golden Family, but is cultivating enemies for the Golden Family."

Princess Tululetu said with deep eyes: "These children who are to be buried are sent by Grand Master Yisimain to look for them. I asked people to inquire, and he searched for orphans who had lost their families from every tribe. Although It won’t make the children’s parents angry, but it will offend each tribe, and no one knows whether their own children will be buried next time.”

Bals's face became serious: "This is a conspiracy by Grand Master Yismayin against our Golden Family. We must deal with it carefully and handle this matter well. I will go find Ulus and other brothers, Tulu Letu, go find your mother. Ah Jiang, take a rest early and wait for me to come back."

Qin Liu looked at Bals and Princess Tululetu leaving in a hurry, feeling filled with emotion.

These twin siblings are really smart and upright, have a keen sense of politics, and deal with problems in a clear and decisive manner.

The most important thing is that Bales did not push himself out as soon as there was a problem.

Her title of "Messenger of Tengger" was given by Ahei Ma, and Princess Tululetu helped to establish it, but she is still very watery.It doesn’t necessarily mean you can take on anything.

……

Qin Liu had nothing to do the next day. He basically just went to watch various competitions at the Naadam Conference, went to the trade fair to see the goods on sale, and also bought a lot of things.Women's Bock competition and women's equestrian competition are also in full swing.

From the comments in the audience, Qin Liu knew that the "Bai'er Burial" incident had become a scandal that everyone knew, and the "Prairie Well Drilling" incident was a good thing that everyone praised and rushed to imitate.

Scandals and good deeds are spreading among herdsmen at the same time, and everyone's evaluation of the Golden Family has become increasingly complex.

"The Golden Family is quite good. This time they solved the problems of tea, salt, food, cloth and medicinal materials for us. They are worthy of being the descendants of Temujin." This is the voice of the Khan-protecting party.

"What? If Dayan Khan hadn't insisted on cutting off trade with the Ming Dynasty, how could our lives be so poor that we couldn't even buy a shovel? When Queen Manduhai was in power, life was much more comfortable than now. What? The Golden Family are just tyrants who treat us ordinary people as human beings!" This is the cry of the Khan Party.

"We can't beat them all to death. Let's see what Tengger thinks about this matter. If we can get Tengger's blessing, the Golden Family will definitely be the guardian family of our grassland people." This is the swing of the neutral faction. indefinite.

Qin Liu knew that if the "Bai'er was buried" incident was not handled properly, it would bring immeasurable disaster to the rule of the Khan Court.Even she, a watered-down "Tengri messenger", cannot stand idly by.

Qin Liu returned to the yurt and heard that there was an endless stream of herdsmen who came to the well today to study and observe. Many of them also brought gifts, such as lambs and calves, as well as beef jerky, milk tofu and other herdsmen's daily life. of food.

Qin Liu felt a little guilty. She had not done anything special for the herdsmen, but she gained their love and gave her the limited supplies in their barren life.

Qin Liu went to look for Baers, but learned that Baers had not returned yet.

Early the next morning, Bals came to see Qin Liu: "What do you want from me?"

"Has there been any progress on the burial matter?"

"Grandmaster Yisima Yin acted quickly. Yesterday, he found a hundred children. Today, they will carry out fire sacrifice according to the shaman's practice."

Qin Liu's eyes widened and he died in the fire!
"Are you going to burn the children alive?"

"Yes. Don't worry, Urus and I will not let this happen. He has been begging Father Khan to take back his life. My brothers and I will go to the scene to prevent the fire and show our determination."

Qin Liu said firmly: "I want to go too."

Bars shook her hand and comforted her with gentle eyes: "The scene may be chaotic and dangerous. You stay here and don't go there. We won't let it happen." Qin Liu's only worries disappeared. Go, she declared again with a serious expression: "No, I want to go. I am Tengger's envoy and have the right to speak on behalf of Tengger. I am the most upright person to oppose the shaman!"

Bals hesitated for a moment: "Then follow me and don't go among the herdsmen. There may be bloody conflicts today."

Qin Liu nodded: "Okay."

Old man Lou wanted to go with Qin Liu, but Qin Liu refused: "If you help me keep an eye on Erlang at home, we will have no worries."

Old Man Lou did not persist.

Qin Liu quickly followed Bars to the scene of the fire.

The site of the sacrifice was in an open space to the north of the Naadam venue. A tall altar was built on the open space. The center of the altar was sunken and a raging fire was burning.

The shaman, already fully clothed, was waiting on the altar with his assistants.

There is a large wooden cage at each of the four corners of the altar.

One hundred children were imprisoned in four large wooden cages. They were all between three and seven years old. They had thin bodies, ragged clothes, dirty hands and feet, and snot on their faces. They looked dark and innocent. His big eyes made people feel sad.

A fence was used to isolate a circle of open space under the altar. Outside the fence, there were already crowds of herdsmen watching. Some herdsmen were kneeling down to pray and spoke plausibly. Some herdsmen looked fearful and were talking to their companions in panic. Some herdsmen had expressions on their faces. Angry and cursed.

Bars held Qin Liu's hand tightly and protected her by his side, fearing that she would be hit by the crowd.

A group of tough Mongolian men came over and greeted Bals.

Bals let go and went to high-five someone, but by mistake, he discovered that Qin Liu was missing.

Qin Liu, dressed in white, squeezed through the crowd and got into the fence, approaching each large wooden cage to look over.

The children were very quiet. A few of the younger ones had their mouths open and wanted to cry, but they endured it. Their big eyes were full of panic and fear.

"Talezhara."

A child in the big wooden cage behind him said something timidly.

Qin Liu, who had already walked over, turned around and looked in the direction of the sound.

It was a child of six or seven years old. Qin Liu recognized it. When she went to Khan Court for the first time a few months ago, she passed by a lonely yurt. This child was still living with her grandmother.

They gave the child tea cakes and salt, and the child gave her a white khata.

Qin Liu asked: "It's you, where is your grandma?"

The child's voice was childish and filled with sadness: "She is dead." (End of this chapter)
