637. Chapter 637: Conflict
The Qiang gathering place was still very chaotic, and after the Qiang girl had finished serving the Qiang warrior and settled the little girl, she went out to fetch water.
She couldn't help but feel a little sad when she saw many women and children who had lost their husbands still standing in that place, expecting someone to take them away.
Not all Qiang girls have her looks, and it is easy to find a strong warrior.
Although there are many Qiang people who have three wives and four concubines, there is a premise, that is, this Qiang person must be able to afford to raise women and children.
It is enviable to hug left and right, but it is not a heavy burden for the resource-poor Qiang people.
Therefore, many Qiang girls who are not good-looking are not picked after all, and they are still waiting with their eyes open.
"If there was no war, it would be nice if there were no deaths."
The Qiang girl let out a silent sigh and continued to carry the missing wooden bucket to the outside to fetch water.
Don't think that if you are chosen by the Qiang warriors, the Qiang girl will be able to do nothing, in the entire Qiang tribe, there is no one who does not work hard.
No matter how beautiful the Qiang girl is, no matter how she can please men, she must handle the housework to the satisfaction of men.
Compared to those Qiang girls who were not chosen, she was already very lucky. At the very least, as long as the Qiang warrior is alive, she and her daughter don't have to worry about food.
Like those Qiang girls and children who were not chosen, their status was only higher than that of the slaves in the tribe.
When the cruel and terrible winter comes, when the tribe does not have enough food, they are likely to be abandoned.
As for the elderly, it is extremely rare among the Qiang tribes, because there are very few old people who can survive the cold winter.
In the eyes of the Qiang tribal leaders, women and children are far more important than the elderly.
The law of the jungle is vividly deduced among the Qiang people. Perhaps it is precisely because the Qiang people live in such an environment that they have created the character characteristics of their nation.
The Qiang girl carried the missing barrel and continued to walk outside, and suddenly, she heard a burst of shouting and screaming.
"Smack!"
The leather whip was whipped a Han slave, and the Han slave couldn't help but let out a cry of pain.
When the Qiang girl looked up, she realized that the so-called Han slave was just a little boy about ten years old. The boy was yellow-skinned and visibly malnourished, and he curled up in place, his eyes filled with tears.
"Hangou, damn it!"
A Qiang man with a meaty face scolded hatefully, and then lifted the leather whip again and hit the little boy hard.
The little boy didn't dare to dodge at all, but just put his hands on his head, curled up on the ground and shivered. No one saw that behind the weakness of the little boy, there was a light of extreme hatred in his eyes.
"Smack!"
"Bang Bang!"
The whip kept falling, and the little boy was already beaten to the ground, covered in blood, and was about to die.
The Qiang girl standing on the side really couldn't stand it, she threw away the gap in her hand, suddenly rushed over and hugged the little boy on the ground, and pleaded: "Please, don't fight again, he will die if he continues to fight." ”
The Qiang man with a meaty face shouted, "Get out of the way, a Han slave will die when he dies." If you don't go over again, I'll even fight you too. ”
The Qiang girl continued to plead: "He is still just a child, you can spare his life!" ”
In a daze, the little boy felt himself surrounded by a warm embrace, and he murmured weakly, "Grandma, Grandma." ”
The Qiang man with a meaty face was even more angry when he heard this, and slapped the Qiang girl with a whip, scolding: "Give shame to your face, I teach my own slaves, what are you doing?" ”
The leather whip slammed into the Qiang girl, and a muffled snort of pain erupted from her mouth.
But the Qiang girl still hugged the little boy and looked at the Qiang man with a pleading face.
The Qiang man with a full face also felt a little headache about the Qiang girl's persistence, and he also saw the pretty face of the Qiang girl, thinking that this woman would definitely be able to find a good man, but he didn't dare to really kill her.
"This time, my two brothers have fallen for the tricks of the Han people, and they will never come back, and today I will let this Han dog pay for his life. How can you, as a Qiang, have mercy on our enemies? ”
Qiang Nu held back the pain in her body, gritted her teeth and said: "If we treat the Han people like this today, the Han people will treat us like this in other days, so the hatred will only accumulate more and more." ”
The Qiang man was immediately furious and scolded: "You crazy woman, the hatred between us and the Han people is not enough? Do you still want to defuse this hatred? ”
The Qiang girl didn't speak, just hugged the little boy tightly and looked at the man stubbornly.
Seeing that the woman could not be persuaded to move, the Qiang man's heart became more and more irritable. He stepped forward and reached out to grab the little boy in Qiang's arms, trying to pull him out.
However, the Qiang girl hugged the little boy to prevent him from being pulled away by the Qiang man, and still begged in her mouth: "Please let him go, he is just a child, and the hatred between us and the Han people has nothing to do with him." ”
When the man saw that the Qiang girl was holding on to the little boy, he immediately lost his patience.
He was vicious to the guts, kicked the Qiang girl over, and scolded: "As long as it is a Han person, it is our enemy, you slut, let it go!" ”
However, even if the Qiang girl was kicked to the ground, she still held on to the little boy.
The man had already lost his patience, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he waved his leather whip again, hitting the Qiang girl and the little boy hard.
"Smack!"
The leather whip hit his face, leaving a long scar, and blood slowly flowed from the wound.
"Even my woman dares to fight and look for death!"
The person who was beaten was not a Qiang woman, but the Qiang man with a meaty face.
I don't know when, the Qiang warrior who took away the Qiang girl has already come to the three of them.
He reached out and grabbed the leather whip that was hitting the Qiang girl, and then waved his horse whip with his backhand, slamming it in the face of the cross-meat man.
The cross-meat man was suddenly beaten, and he was very angry, but when he saw the man in front of him, dressed in standard armor, he suddenly shuddered, and he didn't dare to fight back.
Although he is also young and strong, compared to the Qiang warriors, this kind of warrior who is armed from top to bottom is not comparable at all.
The Qiang warriors were still angry, stepped forward and kicked the meat man to the ground, scolding: "Wasn't you very powerful just now, why don't you say anything now?" ”
The cross-meat man half-knelt on the ground, covered his stomach in pain, and said with difficulty: "Little, the villain doesn't know that she is a warrior's woman, she was offended just now, please forgive me!" ”
