Two days later.
In the canyon between the Starry Sky Orchard and the river between Que Dong Village and Hei Wu Village, A Chen, supported by A Mo, boarded the raft that led out of the mountains.
This raft is newly built; it can carry eleven or twelve adults at a time.
There were more than a dozen of these rafts at that moment.
They lined up in a row, flowing downstream.
In the canyon--
A cold wind was blowing and fog was everywhere!
Wherever it went, ice and snow reflected each other.
Amo helped Achen stand on the ninth raft.
On the eight rafts ahead, in addition to the guards clearing away nearby poisonous creatures, there were also strong Miao people led by Gu Axiong and Ashi, two jackals, as escorts.
This time--
Although Ah Chen's injuries have recovered well, the mountain road is very muddy and slippery, making it impassable by vehicle.
Even if Ah Chen isn't afraid to ride a horse, he still needs his grandmother's permission.
Therefore, they had no choice but to come out by water.
At this moment, both Amo and Achen were wearing cloaks.
Amo helped Achen.
Ah Chen, on the other hand, held Ah Mo's shoulder, trying his best to rely on Ah Mo to steady himself when the water was swaying.
A group of one hundred people!
They all took it upon themselves to protect the future Miao king and holy maiden from the mountains.
These teams, with their imposing presence, truly live up to their reputation as the elite guards of the Eight Great Wolves.
Looking at the scenery along the way and smelling the fresh air, Achen sighed, "This river connects Quedong Village and Heiwu Village in the east and goes straight to Balong Ancient Village in the west."
"And in between, there are many tributaries, all of which connect the various branches of the Miao people living deep in the mountains!"
"It is also this river that connects all the major branches of our Miao people!"
"It is our Miao people's wealth, and it is also our Miao people's lifeline."
"pity--"
"It has never had a name!"
"Amo, you are very knowledgeable, why don't you give this river a name?"
Naming?
The three guards and core warriors like Ah Xiong and Ah Shi all focused their attention on the Holy Maiden and Ah Chen on the raft in the middle.
They were really looking forward to this moment.
This river is indeed a lifeline for the Miao people; it is extremely important.
In the past, all the Miao people had different names for this river.
Now, Ah Chen has proposed that once the name of this river is uttered by the Holy Maiden under the witness of the future Miao King, then thereafter—
This river can only have one name.
But Amo said, "This won't do. You are the future Miao King of my Miao family. How can Amo overstep the boundaries!"
"You are still the future Sage of the Miao people! Can the Miao King be greater than the Sage of the Miao people?"
"Achen--"
Ah Chen is right!
In the Miao people, the Holy Maiden's power is not as great as that of the Miao King, but how could the Miao King be greater than the Miao Holy Maiden?
Ah Chen released Ah Mo and placed his hand on his chest.
"Amo, give her a name!"
"Please bestow a name upon the future Miao saint."
As the future Miao king, all the elite Miao guards, including the guards and jackals, on the dozen or so rafts were presented with gifts.
Amo quickly helped Achen up.
"this--"
This is no small matter; Amo never expected Achen to actually—
Even though she understood the difference between the Miao King and the Miao Saint, she couldn't ignore Achen's aura.
But Ah Chen's persistence made her feel sorry for him.
so--
Amo came up with a compromise: she and Achen would each think of a word, and together they would name the river.
A few minutes later.
Amo and Achen looked at each other and both smiled.
Because the butterflies inside them have already been transmitting information to each other.
These colorful butterflies are not only the most sacred objects for the Miao people, but also the butterflies that symbolize the bond between Achen and Amo.
thus--
The name of the Miao people's waterway lifeline was thus born.
Qingque River!
It's very simple. Although this river has many tributaries, the westernmost part of the main stream is the Qingmiao branch, while the eastern part is the Hongmiao and Heimiao branches.
but--
The eastern exit is located within the territory of the Red Miao branch.
Moreover, the main waterway also passes through Que Dongzhai.
Although there is a river connecting Heiwu Village to the exit, it is only a tributary and not the main stream.
Qingque River?
The happiest of all were probably the Azure Sparrow Guard, the same guard unit within the Imperial Guard.
At this moment, the fruit orchard sales point near the Qingque River outlet is still bustling with activity, even after half a month.
The prolonged blizzard a few days ago allowed many Han Chinese to witness the cohesion of the Miao people.
Moreover, the Miao people's ruthless tactics caused some wealthy merchants who were unaware of their power to lose face in their arrogance.
You have to understand how shocking those scenes were just half a month ago.
As the Miao war drums sounded, in an era when transportation and communication were underdeveloped, tens of thousands of Miao people were mobilized in less than a day.
That was a rare rescue.
The Miao people range from elderly people in their sixties and seventies to young boys as young as eleven or twelve.
The war drums sounded---
The entire group mobilized, each fulfilling their assigned duties.
Especially those who witnessed the Miao children carrying supplies uphill into the deep mountains.
They will never forget the fierce determination with which countless young men and women of the Miao ethnic group charged into the canyon.
In those days, news spread that the future Miao king had gone missing in the deep mountains, and tens of thousands of Miao people rushed into the mountains without regard for anything else.
At that time, the Han people thought that if this were in ancient times, the Miao people's cohesion would surely have enabled them to accomplish great things.
Some people say that ancient times are too far away, so let's talk about this era. Ask the government if they dare to act arrogantly towards the Miao people.
The Miao people's ruthlessness is not just for show.
