The women began to light a fire. Yakuts cannot live without fire, especially in winter. In order to ensure the temperature in the tent, they often have to get up in the middle of the night to light up the stove, so they often lie down in their clothes in the middle of the night. The girls began to prepare deer breasts.
Roast beef and mutton, seal meat, sashimi, leba and other foods; the young men carried pieces of ice, smashed them, heated them, and fetched water.
The Yukagir tribe mainly lives on reindeer, followed by fishing and hunting. In order to resist the severe cold, people here like to eat raw meat such as sashimi. Because vegetables and grains are not produced, their fruits and vegetables are in short supply. p>
Leba is made of cold-resistant rye, made of fermented flour into a round shape, and then roasted over a fire. It is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and the dough has a slightly sour taste.
The Yukagir people actually don’t eat this kind of black bread. Because they wanted to entertain the governor of Tsarist Russia this time, they made some temporarily. Not only for eating, but also for etiquette. Serving leba and salt to distinguished guests was the symbol of Tsarist Russia.
The tradition. Chief Abu Zhida is a good friend of the Rakshasas and a loyal subject of His Majesty the Tsar. Naturally, everything is done in accordance with the etiquette of the Rakshasas.
Overseer Ivan is the ruler of this land and has a distinguished status, so he naturally arrived late. Jibuha, the chief of the Evan tribe, and Hilideg, the chief of the Holint tribe, came first. They are from Abzhida.
My old friend, on the matter of Azima’s assassination, we stood firmly on his side.
"Brother!"
"Good brother!"
As soon as they saw Abu Zhida, the two greeted each other affectionately.
Abu Zhida also saluted them cordially, sent his confidants to lead the two men into the big tent, and ordered people to bring the hundreds of followers they brought with them into the side tent, and entertained them with good wine and meat.
After being called out for a long time, the great Governor Ivan finally arrived, followed by 300 fully armed Rakshasa soldiers.
"Oh, Overseer, it is really an honor for the people of Yukargir to have you here." Abuzhida smiled happily, and his folds trembled with his smile.
"Haha, you're welcome, the chief." Ivan dismounted proudly and handed the whip to his entourage.
"Come here, take all distinguished guests to the side tent for a drink. Warlord, you come with me." Abu Zhida winked at Ao Ga, who hurriedly led the three hundred soldiers brought by Ivan to the side tent.
He led Ivan and a few guards into the big tent and entertained them with good wine and meat.
As soon as they saw the governor coming, the nobles such as Jibuha, the chief of the Evan tribe, Hilidegg, the chief of the Holint tribe, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly saluted. Ivan nodded slightly, which was regarded as a greeting. You are not polite.
He sat down on the main seat.
"The Overseer guards Okhotsk and protects our safety. His hard work is very rewarding. I propose that everyone toast the Overseer together," Abuzhda proposed with a toast.
"That's how it should be", everyone agreed in unison, drank the wine in the glass, "Overseer please!"
Ivan laughed loudly, drank the wine, and asked someone to pour another glass, "This glass of wine, I return to everyone, for the health of His Majesty the Tsar, hurrah!"
"Ula!"
"Ula!"
"Ula!"
Everyone cheered, they looked more like Rakshasas than Rakshasas, there was nothing they could do, now this place was occupied by others, people under the eaves had to bow their heads.
As the atmosphere of the banquet gradually became more intense, Abu Zhida gave three claps, and a group of young men and women from the Yukargir tribe came in, holding hands, twirling in circles, and dancing cheerfully.
Another pair of young men and women sang together, singing ancient ballads. The Yakut language has many guttural sounds and vowels like roaring cattle, so the singing was high-pitched and very powerful, which was very different from the melodious sounds often heard by the nobles of the Ming Dynasty.
.
The party reached a climax with vigorous singing, hot dancing and strong drinks.
Ivan suddenly saw a dark and fat middle-aged man sitting next to Abu Zhida, and he couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Who is this?"
"This is the big shopkeeper Baiyin Tibu of Jizhao Store, my good friend. He came to us in a timely manner and sent us a large amount of supplies."
"See the Governor," Baiyin Tibu saluted Ivan lightly, his eyes shining brightly.
"Yes." Ivan nodded slightly as a greeting, and saw two similar-looking, iron-tower-like men standing next to Abu Zhida, each carrying a bow and arrow, majestic. He smiled and said: "These two are warriors of your tribe.
Really? His appearance is really extraordinary."
"General Overseer, they are brothers and my personal guards. One is named Nomenfu and the other is Sumenfu."
"Oh, interesting, what's the significance of these two names?"
"Nomenfu means: bow; Sumenfu means: arrow. They are the best archers in my tribe," Abuzhida explained politely.
"Archers? Can your bows and arrows compare to our muskets?" Ivan had drunk too much and said rudely: "I really want to know which one is better, the bows and arrows or the muskets!"
Normally, if he said this, the indigenous leaders would compliment him and say: "Of course the governor's muskets are powerful." However, Abu Zhida did not speak, but looked at Baiyin Tibu next to him.
Baiyin Tibu nodded firmly, and Abu Zhida suddenly smiled, with a ferocious look in his eyes, "Since you want to see the power of our bows and arrows, then do it as you wish!"
Hearing the word "do it", Nomenfu and Sumenfu quickly drew their bows and arrows, and with two whooshes, they killed two Rakshasa guards. One shot two people, another four people, and three times six people.
With extremely fast speed, in a flash of lightning, he shot and killed all six guards brought by Ivan.
"Yeah!"
Ivan only had time to scream before he was subdued by the Yukargir warriors who broke in.
Jibuha and Hilidege turned pale with horror, "Chief Abuzhida, what do you mean?"
Abu Zhida said coldly: "I have surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. If the Evan tribe and the Huolint tribe are willing to work with me, the two brothers can do it themselves."
It was said that he was doing it on his own, but how could he dare to do it when the knife was held on his neck? The two people quickly claimed that they were willing to die together.
"You are so bold, how dare you betray His Majesty the Tsar," Ivan was already tied up, struggling and cursing.
"Kill him," Abu Zhida shouted.
"Wait a minute, we still need to let him pretend to open the Okhotsk Fort," Baiyintib advised.
"Forget it, let's save this devil's life first."
"Kill~kill~kill~"
Suddenly, there were shouts and screams everywhere in the camp. Fires shot into the sky, and the thick smell of blood floated in the air. Everyone couldn't help but change their expressions.
Abu Zhida smiled and said, "Don't be alarmed, my people are killing Rakshasa ghosts." He then said gently to Jibuha and Hilidege: "Two great chiefs, don't worry, the warriors of the Evan tribe and the Holint tribe
, I didn’t kill any of them, I just disarmed them.”
The noise lasted for more than an hour, and Ao Ga, covered in blood, burst into the tent and said, "Great Chief, it's done. The sons have almost killed the Rakshasa ghosts, beheading a total of 261 levels, and there are three more.
The fifteen people who knelt down and begged for mercy were not killed. Please show me, the chief."
"What else are you asking for? Kill!"
Abu Zhida's voice was full of brutal power, which made Governor Ivan tremble all over.
"Wait a minute, these prisoners are also useful when they want to deceive the city." The good man Baiyin Tibu said another compassionate word.
"Hey, big shopkeeper, you are just too kind-hearted," Abuzhida shook his sleeve angrily.
Baiyin Tibu stopped talking and stood with a kind look on his face.
"Great Chief, Ming Army, no, Master Wang is here, there are many troops everywhere." He was dealing with the aftermath, and his subordinates came to report.
Baiyintib smiled and said to Abu Zhida, Jibuha and Hilidege: "All the great chiefs, please follow me to welcome the king."
