The next day, when the sky was dark, Li Ergou and Cuihua walked in tandem, holding bows, arrows and daggers, sneaking out of the Kocampa Valley and heading towards the dense barren mountains not far away...
As for why they were so sneaky, it was because Cuihua and Li Ergou planned to hunt large beasts in the barren mountains, which was absolutely prohibited in Japan.
The reasons for banning the hunting of large beasts may be a little ridiculous, but they can be summed up in three words: a meat ban!
Therefore, people who can eat meat are definitely rich in the current Warring States Period!
The most important part of Japanese food culture is aquatic crops such as rice!
There is a book called "Wei Zhi? Biography of the Japanese", which explains twice the reason why the Japanese "didn't eat meat" at that time.
Japan is an island country, and its special island topography makes most Japanese people prefer to eat seafood.
The meat ban was a strange edict issued by a theocratic king named Emperor Tenmu.
In 675 AD, Emperor Tenmu of Japan issued an edict:
"From now on, all fishermen and hunters are prohibited from building traps, traps, etc. Also, after April and before September 30th, they are not allowed to eat cows, horses, dogs, apes, and chicken. Other than those prohibited, if Those who commit the crime will be punished.”
It can also be explained the other way round:
"Except for tigers, lions, and big bears, you can't eat any other livestock species. You can keep it or watch it, but you can't eat it..."
What a strange country. Farmers work hard to raise a large cage of chickens, ducks and fish just for the sake of "looking at the meat"?
The only people who can eat meat are dignitaries, local nobles, daimyo, daimyo, guanbai, generals, and His Majesty the Emperor...
Therefore, there is no need to explore the classes in ancient Japan one by one. A simple analysis shows that there were only two types of people in Japan.
First, those who eat meat are superior people!
Second, those who look at meat are untouchables!
You see how simple and clear it is...
………………………………
Li Ergou and Cuihua, who have lived here for more than three months, have actually violated the meat ban long ago, but the villagers in the surrounding countryside are happy to be nourished by meat, so they will not deliberately stop them!
After an accident happened, it was not the two tall men Li Ergou and Cuihua who were hunting, but the villagers would all say in unison:
"Didn't eat it!"
You can't let him vomit it out, or perform a laparotomy!
………………………………
The barren mountains are endless, and the lush green that comes into view makes you feel particularly comfortable. Li Ergou and Cuihua couple are walking freely on the footpath at the foot of the mountain, talking and laughing happily.
"ha!"
"Tap..."
"Pah, pah, pah, pah..."
At this time, the dense forest on the mountain was about a hundred meters away from Li Ergou and his wife. Behind them, a majestic shout and the sound of horse hooves sounded loudly...
"cavalry?"
Where did the cavalry come from in the barren mountains?
Li Ergou and Cuihua quickly leaned down and turned to look...
A few miles away, there were about thirty cavalrymen in red armor, flying across the countryside like a red cloud, quickly chasing Li Ergou and his wife. The sound of hoofbeats was loud as the horses ran, and the cavalrymen also howled like ghosts, foxes and wolves at the same time. They were quite powerful. amazing!
"Forecast?"
Li Ergou, who had lost all his martial arts training and even the power to activate Feng Shui, turned pale when he saw the red armored cavalry.
His first feeling was that these Japanese cavalrymen were here to steal his wife!
Suihua, an old woman with outstanding grace and girlish face, is actually almost sixty years old. But Suihua's charming and bright face has long been famous in Shinano Komaba...
"The armor is red, they are the invincible cavalry of the Takeda family?"
Li Ergou's head was dizzy, he looked at the red cloud with a ferocious expression, gritted his teeth and said angrily:
"They may be here to snatch you to be Mrs. Yazhai, Cuihua!"
"Ergou, calm down!"
Cuihua, on the other hand, is calmer than her husband Li Ergou.
Seeing that his mother-in-law, despite being a woman, could handle the challenge calmly, Li Ergou's face turned a little red, and he calmed down and said:
"Cuihua, we heroes don't want to suffer the immediate consequences, why don't we run away?"
"Run - I'm afraid it's too late! Two legs can't outrun four legs. Before we step into the barren mountains, that team of Japanese cavalry can easily chop our couple into mincemeat and make them into human meatballs to eat with wine.
!”
Cuihua's face was calm, but her heart was extremely anxious, and she secretly thought: This is bad!
The two main sources of food were dead, the unconscious Liu Shiba and the old driver who had no strength to control the chicken. Starving to death would be considered extremely lucky!
Li Ergou and his wife, under the iron hooves of this team of wolf-like and tiger-like red armored cavalry, had no chance of escape. It was too slim...
A sinister look flashed in her eyes, she took off the Lingbao bow with her backhand, twisted her fingertips deftly, and put a bamboo arrow on the bow string, pointing at the incoming cavalry from a distance.
Between the fingers of her bow, there were four other bamboo arrows with cold gleams firmly clamped between them.
As the saying goes, a disagreement, ****......
