Chapter 143 How Women Contribute to Resisting Cannibalism
While Dania was talking, Renault just stood aside with a serious face and said nothing. It was not until Dania finished talking about the nagging words that he stepped forward to her, patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't be too sad."
"I'm not sad." Dania said calmly: "I only hate that I am not only young, but also a woman, and cannot avenge my parents or brothers."
Hearing this, Renault's face was a little unnatural, and he paused before saying, "Don't worry, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty will avenge you! We will return to Thunder Ye City sooner or later."
"I hope." Dania didn't believe it very much, but she still agreed. Just as she was about to speak again, she heard Aunt Zhuo shouting, "Zhuo Ya, why are you back now?"
"Sister Zhuo is back!" She immediately shouted happily and ran out of the house to find Zhuo Ya.
"Slow down, don't fall." Renault also walked out of Dania's house and shouted.
But Dania didn't have time to pay attention to him anymore. She left the house and saw Zhuo Ya just pushed open the yard door and came in. She rushed up and said with a smile: "Sister Zhuo, you are back."
She likes Zhuo Ya very much, or she admires Zhuo Ya very much. Zhuo Ya is also a woman, but she can practice martial arts and kill the cannibals, do great things, help save tens of thousands of prisoners, and make contributions to resist the cannibals; but she can only be protected by others.
If the Great Cannibal had attacked Anxi, she would never envy people like Zhuoya; but now, she just wants to practice martial arts like Zhuoya, dealing with the Great Cannibal, and be able to participate in revenge for her relatives with her own hands.
"Yes, I'm back." Zhuo Ya smiled and touched her head. Somehow, maybe it was because they were all Turkic people, who fled from Suiye City to Jieshan City together, and their relatives died at the hands of the cannibals. She also liked Dania very much.
"You still know how to come back!" Aunt Zhuo didn't hear her daughter's answer to her first words, and she became even more angry. She walked out of the kitchen and said, "How old are you, you are not at home all day, just hang out outside!"
"Mom, I'm busy with serious business and resisting the cannibalism." Zhuo Ya couldn't help but argue.
She also went home for more than a month. In early October, she returned to Yuluzhou by boat, and then left the boat and headed straight for her home.
At this time, her father had already determined that she, her uncle Zhuo Hanwen, Tong Shuofan and others were all dead, and no longer went to the dock to wait for the ships. She set up a mourning hall for her and Zhuo Hanwen at home, and asked her family to wear mourning for them.
The situation on the day Zhuo Ya returned home seemed very interesting to outsiders. According to Zhuo Ya's parents' estimates, the Qiqi, which had not yet left, was guarding the funeral hall every day. When Zhuo Ya pushed the door and came in, she didn't feel anything when she saw her tablet, but she scared her brother so much that she thought she had no wish in the underworld, so she kowtowed and asked repeatedly.
Zhuo Ya explained for a long time, and let her brother feel her body and warmth, and it is not easy for her brother to accept that she is still alive.
The two sisters were talking when their mother Su Xin, who went out to buy vegetables, came back. As soon as she walked into the door and saw Zhuo Ya, she was stunned. Zhuo Ya waited for a while and felt that her mother might also regard her as a ghost. Just as she was about to explain, Su Xin suddenly threw down the basket and ran over and hugged her tightly, crying:
"Zhuo Ya, you are still alive, you are still alive, you are still alive!"
"Mom, I'm still alive, I'm really still alive!" Zhuo Ya couldn't help crying.
The mother and the mother hugged each other and cried for a while before slowly stopping their crying. Su Xin asked about her daughter's experience and the life and death of Zhuo Hanwen and Tong Shuofan. While sobbing, Zhuo Ya talked to her mother about her experience from the big cannibal attacking Suiye City to the boat heading to Yuluzhou.
"Daughter, you have suffered!" Su Xin started crying again. She didn't care about her daughter's contributions, but was sad for her hardships during this period, as well as the death of Zhuo Hanwen and Tong Shuofan.
"Mom, stop crying, it's all over, it's all over. As for uncle and Shuofan, my daughter will definitely avenge them!" Zhuo Ya said.
"Yes, yes, it's all over. You have nothing to do, you've returned home safely." Su Xin also said while wiping her tears.
"You are still in the army, and you are asking you to avenge your uncle and Tong Shuofan." She said again.
"No, mom, my daughter is talking about avenging them personally."
"How do you avenge them, you woman? Stop talking stupidly."
"This is not a fool." Zhuo Ya said: "My daughter has also killed a few big cannibals with her own hands. So what if she kills a few more?"
"That was a last resort on the land of the great cannibals. Now that I'm going home, how can I let you do this? Besides, women are not summoned in the army, and you can't go to the battlefield to kill the enemy."
"As for you to go to the place controlled by the Great Cannibal again, unless I die, you don't have to want to go!" Su Xin said firmly.
Zhuo Ya didn't dare to argue with her mother anymore, so she could only keep silent.
When his father Zhuo Shangwu returned home in the evening, he naturally cried and laughed. Zhuo Ya thought to himself that his father might support him in order to avenge his uncle himself, so he mentioned it during dinner.
But she didn't expect her father to be more stubborn than her mother. She rejected her idea of taking revenge with her own hands and asked her to stay at home and not go anywhere.
Zhuo Ya was also a little discouraged by her parents' opposition. Moreover, she had killed several cannibals with her own hands and helped rescue many prisoners. Her revenge was not as strong as before, and she wanted to obey her parents' instructions.
But the next day, the Protector suddenly sent someone to reward her for the merits she made to rescue the captives, and gave her fifty taels of gold, and was promoted to her father's office, from the team to the brigade commander; the eunuchs who came to read out the reward also praised Zhuo Ya's actions vigorously.
Zhuo Ya's mind became alive again, and she was concerned about resisting the cannibalism again. She also went out all day to find out whether there was a way to serve her. Her mother was very dissatisfied with this and seized the opportunity to scold or persuade her.
"You are a woman, how are you doing this?" Aunt Zhuo shouted: "You did coincidentally help the yamen to rescue many prisoners, but after all, they are a woman and cannot fight. What's the use of you still worrying about these all day long in Luzhou!"
"Mom, I understand." Zhuo Ya agreed, but said happily: "Mom, my daughter just heard the news that even a woman can contribute to resisting the cannibalism."
"What contribution does it make?"
"Just just issued a military order, and the yamen came forward to organize women in the city to wash clothes for the soldiers,..."
Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by her mother: "This is also common. The soldiers in the army have no family members and are not easy to wash clothes on weekdays, but they can always find ways to solve them. However, when fighting, the clothes are dirty and the soldiers have no time to spare, so there is no way. It is common for women to organize them to wash clothes for them."
