Volume 1 Frontier Land Chapter 12 Not My Race (II)
Because of the previous relationship between treating diseases and saving people, Lu Jin's relationship with Xie Laoqi and Cao Bing is quite close, even if there is a gap between the identities of the two parties now, he will still have nothing to talk to them, and by the way, learn some dialects in Shanxi and Shaanxi to prepare for returning to the Central Plains in the future.
It is precisely because of Lu Jin's relationship that the situation of Xie Cao, who is also a captive slave, is not too bad, although they have to do the same rough work and heavy work, they are rarely insulted and beaten.
didn't expect that either they would have an accident, and this was a fatal event, which made Lu Jin's heart naturally tense, especially after hearing the terrible scream, he became even more anxious, turned around and stride, and hurriedly rushed to a tent that made a sound.
The surrounding Mengren subconsciously wanted to raise their hands to stop Lu Jin, but their hands were only halfway raised, and they thought of the identity of their divine envoys, so they put them back again. Although they didn't dare to provoke the people inside, Lu Zhen didn't dare to exonerate them, so they could only watch the always calm divine envoy rush over like a whirlwind.
Lu Jin, who had rushed past, stopped when he came to the tent, which was slightly smaller than Hehu'er's big tent. It's not that he's afraid, but because there are already four people in front of him blocking his way: "Divine envoy, please stop, my master is doing something!" ”
"Get out of the way!" Seeing that these four people were blocking his way side by side, Lu Zhen was already unhappy, and when he heard another scream from inside, he was even more annoyed in his heart, and immediately drank in a deep voice, and then turned around and crashed into the middle of them.
Although several people were ordered to block people, they didn't dare to go too far with Lu Jin, a divine envoy, and they didn't dare to hurt him because of it, so they had to avoid it. This gave Lu Zhen a chance, and he bumped into the obstruction in front of him, and without thinking about it, he lifted the curtain and flashed in.
As soon as he entered the account, Lu Zhen smelled a pungent smell of blood, which made his heart sink even more, and when he raised his eyes to look ahead, he saw three people lying on the ground, all of them had taken off their clothes, and their bodies were even more bloody and blurry, and the figure of one of them was exactly what he was familiar with, Xie Laoqi.
"What are you doing here?" Lu Zhen immediately raised his head and asked, but when he saw the appearance of the person sitting on the top, he was stunned.
And the man on the other side also looked at me at this time: "Why did God make you suddenly break into my tent?" "This person was none other than Mu Chai, one of the three elders of the Lahe tribe, and at the head of it stood several strong Mongol men, all of whom had whipped with their own blood in their hands.
With just one glance, Lu Jin knew that the injuries on the three people on the ground were all beaten by them, and looking at the blurred appearance of the flesh and blood on the back and buttocks, you can see how ferocious this whipping is. This made the anger in his heart rise again, and instead of answering Mu Kui's question, he glared back at the other party and said, "Why are you beating them?" ”
"They are my slaves, and if they have made mistakes, they should teach them a lesson. Even if you are an oracle, you don't have the authority to take care of the private affairs of my account, do you? Mu Jie was not angry because of Lu Jin's toughness, but looked at the other party and said.
Hearing him say this, Lu Zhen suddenly remembered this layer. Indeed, when the prisoners were distributed, Xie Laoqi was selected by this one to be a slave. According to the rules of the grassland, slaves belong to the private property of their masters, let alone beating, even if they are killed, no one will say that they are not.
But even so, he still can't accept this reality. This is not just because Xie Laoqi is his friend, but because as a traverser, he really can't tolerate such a casual disposal of a living person. So Lu Zhen didn't even ask Xie Laoqi what mistakes they made, but just said toughly: "Even if you make a mistake, you shouldn't treat them like this, let them go!" ”
Seeing that this kid was so unashamed to give orders in front of him, Mu Chai's face suddenly became a little ugly. Even if the patriarch Hehu'er didn't dare to speak in such a tone when he wanted to do anything for himself, did he really think that he was a messenger of God, and that everyone should obey his commands?
Mu Zhuo, who was already very dissatisfied with Lu Jin, and even had some suspicions, couldn't take care of it too much when he got angry in his heart, and immediately waved his hand and said: "Keep beating me and kill them!" ”
"You ......" Lu Zhen didn't expect that the other party not only did not obey his fate, but became even more serious, and he was also annoyed, so he immediately stepped forward and stopped him: "I see who dares!" ”
Those strong men in the clan didn't have the confidence of Mu Chai, and they didn't dare to offend this divine envoy, and when they saw him forcibly blocking themselves, they didn't know what to do for a while.
Seeing this situation, Mu Jie became more and more annoyed, and even refused to obey his own people, this kid was too arrogant. So he couldn't bear it any longer, and threatened fiercely: "Either beat me, or you eat this whip for them, you choose for yourself!" ”
As soon as they said this, those people couldn't stand still, and hurriedly apologized while pulling Lu Zhen away, and then the whip in his hand was swung fiercely again, and then he slammed it heavily on the buttocks and backs of the three people who had already opened their skin, and immediately a piece of flesh and blood flew up with a scream.
"Stop! Stop me! Seeing this, Lu Jin's eyes turned a little red, and he desperately stepped forward to stop him. But in front of him, there was a person blocking with all his strength, so that he couldn't get over at all, and could only watch the three of them screaming and trembling and twisting under the leather whip.
Seeing Lu Jin's appearance like this, Mu Dai felt a burst of happiness, and the black anger that had been held in his heart for many days was vented a lot. At this moment, the low-hanging curtain moved again, and the two walked in one after the other.
Originally, seeing that someone suddenly broke in, Mu Chai felt a little angry, when did his tent become a place for people to come and go? But just when he was about to scold, after seeing the appearance of the two people coming in, the scolding on his lips changed: "Hehu'er, are you also here to take care of the private affairs in my account?" He didn't want to pay attention to the other who came in.
Hezha was also alarmed by Lu Zhen just now, for fear that he would break into the wooden tent alone and suffer a loss, so he wanted to go to help. But then, he was worried that he would only make things worse if he went, so he asked the patriarch Hehu'er to come with him. At this moment, seeing that Lu Zhen did not suffer a loss, Fang breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he also had a question in his heart, what is going on?
"Patriarch Hehu'er, you came just in time, he wants to whip people to death at will, I really can't stand it!" Lu Zhen finally calmed down at this time, and hurriedly said as if asking for help.
When Hehu'er entered the tent, he saw the situation inside, and vaguely guessed something. Hearing Lu Jin's words, his brows furrowed unconsciously, and things were really a little tricky.
And Mu Chai's words made him even bigger: "Joke, it's not up to you to intervene in the affairs of my account!" Hehu'er, you have also seen that even if he is an envoy of God, he can't act arbitrarily, right? ”
Hehu'er didn't know how to speak, and Hezha on the side had already spoken: "Why are they being treated like this?" Although he didn't think it was a matter for Mu to whip a few slaves in his tent, he deliberately disgusted the other party out of the principle that he couldn't get along with Mu Ji.
Mu Chai's eyes showed anger, but he still snorted and replied, "It's these guys who killed three horses under my account, shouldn't I punish them?" ”
This time, even Hezha is not easy to speak. Although there are many horses on the grassland, as a people on horseback, they still attach great importance to horses, and sometimes even value horses more than people. Now a few slaves actually killed the horses under the wooden tent, and the crime is too great.
"It's just a few horses, you don't need to risk human lives!" Lu Jinke didn't know this, and immediately argued with reason. But he immediately sensed that something was wrong, because he saw that Lian Hezha lowered his head at this time, and did not mean to help him, and Mu Jie showed a disdainful expression.
"Divine envoy, since it is indeed these slaves who have made a big mistake, there is no problem in arresting him and punishing them. Otherwise, it will be difficult to convince the people. Hezha stepped forward and persuaded.
"What?" Lu Zhen really couldn't imagine that they were such a theory, and they were a little stunned for a while, and they didn't know what to say at all.
And Mu Jie seized this opportunity and gave a look to the people around him: "Kill them, and then cut off their heads and hang them outside the tent, I want all our people in the Rah tribe to know that horses are our most valuable property and friends." ”
The master of his own family gave an order, and those people naturally did not dare to slack off, so they immediately took out their waist knives and stabbed them at the vests of the three people lying in a pool of blood.
"Stop!" Seeing this, Lu Jin's eyes were split, and he desperately wanted to step forward to stop him, but he was hugged by the combination next to him: "Divine envoy, this is the rule of our grassland, we can't break it casually!" ”
In this delay, three knives had already pierced the back of the hearts of the three of them, and Xie Laoqi and the others only fell silent after a few screams and convulsions.
And Lu Jin, after seeing this result, the whole person stayed on the spot, and his mind was also blank. Three lives were killed alive in front of him!
And Hezha, who was regarded as a friend, not only did not help himself, but blocked himself from saving others. At this moment, his heart completely sank to the bottom, and at this moment, he finally truly understood the meaning of the words "not my race".
In the eyes of these Mongolian people, the Han people are not human beings, but their private property, which is no different from those cattle, sheep and horses. No, the lives of the Han people are not even comparable to these livestock!
The beautiful idea that has been used to deceive himself has been completely shattered by reality, Lu Zhen looked at the blood swindling out of the ground in a daze, and the three silent corpses, and was stunned for a while......
