Having said this, Xu Xianzhi looked around for a while, and then mysteriously handed Liu Yu a small bag of preserved fruits: "Brother Liu, you can give these preserved fruits to the children. Five or six people have already arrived in two hours. It's so scary to look at them."
They are the ones raising the family. Alas, those children are all sallow and skinny, and they look pitiful. You happened to be doing good deeds, so you have fulfilled your duty as a landlord."
Just as he was talking about this, there was a sound of water coming from the boat from the river, and a long-drawn-out Jiangnan call sounded: "We are docking, put down the board and let the passengers off!"
Everyone followed the sound and saw a large ferry docking at the ferry. A large group of migrant workers with braided hair and leather robes, who were obviously dressed as Northerners, stepped off the gangplank. Xu Xianzhi quickly ran back to his stall and shouted:
"Preserved fruits, fine preserved fruits, Jiangnan flavor, three dollars a bag!" All the vendors at the ferry started shouting and hawking loudly, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly, and he thought to himself: Well, another servant has arrived. I, being the most upright person, should also go and fulfill my duty of welcoming and sending off. Maybe there are some legendary northern scholars here.
.
More than thirty people with braided hair and leather robes, including men and women, strong and young, stepped off the ship. As soon as they got off the ship, many people knelt down and cried loudly. While crying, they wiped the hair off their heads.
The braid was untied, the hair was disheveled, the clothes were taken off, and they were thrown heavily on the river beach.
Although Liu Yu had picked up many people from the north, he rarely saw them dressed like this. The clothes of these northerners had their front flaps turned to the left, which is called a left gusset, which is exactly the same as the Han people's clothes, which have their clothes folded to the right and a right gusset.
In contrast, only the people under the rule of the Hu people in the north were forced to dress like this.
Then there is the hair. The Han people all wear their hair in a bun, but the Hu people from the grasslands braid their hair into small braids, which look like ropes. Therefore, the Han people in the south call the barbarians in the north Suolu.
In order to avoid being oppressed by the barbarians in the north, many Han people could only dress the same as them. So why do we say that we traveled south with good clothes? It is because only in this land of the Jin Dynasty can we have authentic Han dress.
ah.
A trace of anger flashed in Liu Yu's eyes, and he thought bitterly: These Suolu are really bullying people so much that they even have to change the hairstyle and clothing of us Han people! Humph, if I can one day fight back to the Central Plains and regain the two capitals, I will have to
Teach them all to wear their hair in a bun and wear right-necked clothes like us Han people!
But Liu Yu then thought about it: The situation in the north is tense now, and a large number of Han people are going south. These people should be Han people coming from the north. In Guangling, north of the Yangtze River, there is no way to stay in the Lianghuai area. It is not until they cross the river that they feel safe. This
I just abandoned the braided hair of the barbarians and took off the left skirt of my clothes, which means I can finally become a Han again. Alas, it is not easy for these people. I have to treat these people well.
Thinking of this, Liu Yu stepped forward, faced the group of people crying bitterly, and said in a deep voice: "I am Liu Yu, the mayor of Suanshan Township, Jingkou County, Yanzhou, Southern Shanxi Province. Who are you? Please tell me your name. The county magistrate.
!”
The men kneeling at the front looked at each other, stopped crying, and stood up.
Although there were more than thirty people, both young and old, it was obvious that the three men standing in front were the leaders. Three pairs of sharp eyes swept over Liu Yu's body, bringing with them some doubts and some confusion.
Be very vigilant.
Liu Yu himself was a big man eight feet long and as strong as a bear, and two of the three men standing in front of him were also tall and strong men, with a strong back and a strong back.
There is a person on the left, in his twenties, with a dark complexion, a Chinese character face, big eyes and beard. Behind him are five or six children, all only four or five years old. Standing next to three or four women, there is another one who is about one year old.
The child is held in the arms of a woman.
They all had white filial piety belts wrapped around their heads and hemp ropes around their waists. Apparently, their relatives had died and were still in mourning period.
The black-faced man said in a deep voice: "My surname is Tan, so I am from Jinxiang, Gaoping, Qingzhou. These young men are my nephews. Their father, my eldest brother Tan Xiuzhi, came south on this road.
At that time, he was attacked by bandits and died in battle."
"On this journey, our brothers from the Tan family, the Meng family, and the Wei family traveled together, and finally entered the Shan Dynasty! When we arrived at Guangling City, the officials there asked us to cross the river and come to Jingkou, saying that there was someone
Reception and placement, this is the road guide!"
As he spoke, he took out a wrinkled cowhide envelope from his arms and handed it to Liu Yu.
Liu Yu's face turned slightly red. He had been practicing boxing and fighting since he was a child, and his writing skills were only rough, but he still took the cowhide bag, loosened the mouth of the bag, pulled out a crumpled piece of paper inside, and quickly scanned it.
Fortunately, I still recognize the words on it.
Finally, his eyes stopped at the big seal at the end and nodded: "Yes, it is indeed an official letter from the Zhenbei General's Office. It says that there are three families: the Gaoping Tan family, the Rencheng Wei family, and the Pingchang Meng family.
Thirty-seven people, men, women, old and young, were asked by local officials to take them to the county to find the chief official for resettlement."
Liu Yu raised his head, looked at Tan Pingzhi, and said, "You must be the Gaoping Tan family. Who is the Rencheng Wei family?"
Standing next to Tan Pingzhi, a tall, thin, and powerful man in his early twenties stood up. His features were relatively ordinary, but the most unusual thing was his mouth.
This man's upper lip seemed to have been cut with a knife. It arched upward from bottom to nostril. The entire lip seemed to be split, like a rabbit.
Although Liu Yu didn't have much knowledge, he had some knowledge of medical science and knew that this kind of condition was called cleft jaw, or harelip.
The hare-lipped man spoke, and as he spoke, his lips, which looked like they had three pieces, moved, making people look indescribably uncomfortable: "My name is Wei Yongzhi, from Rencheng. I heard that the Qin army is going south to attack.
Jin, my brothers together could not help the Hu people to fight against us Han people, so they went south together."
"On the way, we encountered the brothers of the Tan family who were besieged by the Dingling barbarians from the Central Plains. Together with the Meng brothers from another family who happened to arrive, we fought off the Dingling barbarians."
"It's a pity that, alas, the eldest brother of the Tan family was hit by a barbarian's arrow and can't get it back!"
At this point, Tan Pingzhi's tears flashed, and several women behind him even cried.
Liu Yu felt sad in his heart and said softly: "I heard that since the Yongjia Rebellion, when the Han people went south, they would face countless attacks by Hu people, horse thieves and bandits. Even the Hu people's state and county soldiers and generals would be attacked at any time.
It's really not easy for you to go out to rob and kill these Han people who went south. Then, this must be the leader of the Meng family in Pingchang."
