"Don't forget, this is our grassland. If you want to run wild in our home, you must first check whether you are worthy enough." Xuri Qian said proudly, holding a machete.
Seeing that the situation was no longer favorable to him, Luo Hancheng put away the golden sword and said, "I have recorded what happened today. I will leave these two people with you for the time being. I will definitely visit you someday."
"We're always here for you." Zhuoligetu whistled again to disperse the wolves, and then left with everyone in the tribe.
Although Luo Hancheng was unwilling to do so, he had no choice but to leave with his men in anger.
The grassland on a winter night is quiet and vast, with only a few distant wolf howls occasionally heard. The white crescent moon hangs in the sky, and the sky is filled with stars that seem to reach to the distant horizon.
The Tote Department is still lively after dark, especially because there are two guests from far away today.
There was a big bonfire burning in the camp, and young girls and boys sang and danced around the bonfire; the older Abus gathered together to recall the heroic past of their youth; and the Erjis chatted about their experiences, While they were mending the young man's torn clothes and boots, the older Ovo and Iggy were entertaining the younger children.
The people on the grassland are rough, bold and hospitable. Although they do not have delicacies, they provide their guests with the best things they have.
Shao Xi was holding a roasted lamb leg and was eating with his mouth full of oil. This was his first meal after waking up - he was starving. Thinking about how he only dared to eat ten or eight skewers at Sister Hua's place before, the roasted leg of lamb in front of him was simply a luxury. Now he wanted to make up for all his previous losses.
Zhuoligetu's daughter Uzhina gnawed on the cheese in her hand, blinking her big eyes and watching him reincarnate as a starved ghost, and secretly laughed from time to time.
On the other side, Lao Wu was drinking with Xuri and a group of prairie men. This old guy had a very bad drinking capacity. While others were not doing well, he was already swaying around. After escaping from the accident at the Feng family, he had been having trouble eating and sleeping these past few days, and was worried. Now he could finally relax and indulge himself.
However, no matter how drunk he got, his eyes never left Shao Xi. This child was the owner of the village and his mission in life, and he had to take good care of it.
At this time, a strong man from the prairie played the morinouqin and sang the song of the prairie:
The sky is full of stars, the crescent moon,
Young warrior, beautiful girl.
Play the beloved Morin Qin,
Holding hands and singing loudly,
Let the bonfire light up the night sky;
Galloping horses, fat cattle and sheep,
Green grassland, white felt tent.
Kind and brave prairie people,
Soar like an eagle,
Bring endless hope to future generations...
Shao Xi leaned on the wooden pier contentedly. He was full, or to be precise, he was full. He felt like he could vomit out a whole leg of lamb just by burping now.
Uzhina handed over a bowl of kumiss. He took a sip and thought it tasted strange, so he handed it back.
"How old are you?" After Uzhina came back, she freshened her clothes and changed her clothes. Now she looks like a pretty pretty girl.
"Twenty-six." Shao Xi blurted out without thinking.
"You're bragging, forget it if you don't want to tell me, why did you lie to me?" Uzhina stared at her big eyes, looking a little unhappy.
"I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe it, forget it." Shao Xi felt that he was wronged. He is obviously twenty-six years old, why do he have to say that he is six years old? It makes me sick just thinking about it.
"I'm seven years old! You must be younger than me. From now on, you have to call me Egeqi." Uzhina patted Shao Xi on the shoulder.
"Uh, what's that?" Shao Xi broke free from Uzhina's little hand. What's wrong with being treated as a child by a seven-year-old girl?
"Egeqi means sister. You will call me sister from now on." Uzhina raised her chin proudly.
Shao Xi didn't say anything, but he muttered in his heart: "I call you sister, but you call me uncle."
"not called."
"Why don't you scream?" Uzhina asked, tilting her head.
"I don't want to scream."
"What's your name! You asked me to give this to you." As she spoke, Uzhina took off a beautiful sheepskin waist bag from her belt. There were many exquisite silver ornaments on it, and the buckle made of horns was polished and shiny. .
"That's not a cry either." Shao Xi still said harshly while looking at the pocket bag that made his heart beat.
"What did you call!"
"not called."
"Call!"
"Don't scream——!" Shao Xi was a little impatient with this little girl.
"Call!"
"not called!"
Uzhina was also anxious and jumped up, "Are you going to scream?"
"Just don't scream!" After Shao Xi said this, he found it funny how a twenty-six-year-old man could scream so loudly with a seven-year-old girl.
Uzhina was so angry that she almost shed tears. After all, she was only a seven-year-old girl.
As the daughter of Zhuoligetu, the adults in the tribe pampered her like a little princess, and the children surrounded her every day. There were even several boys who wanted to marry her when they grew up. , even her brother Muren, the child Wang, usually gives her three points. Now that she met such a stubborn person, she actually had no temper at all.
The adults nearby also noticed the two gangsters and gathered around them. Zhuoligetu asked Uzhina: "Why are you arguing? Don't you know he is our guest?"
"I promised to give him my favorite pocket bag, but he just refused to call me Egeqi." Uzhina pouted Laogao.
Zhuoligetu laughed when he heard this, and reached out to touch the little girl's head, "Uzhina, he is a guest from afar. If you want to become a good friend with him, you must show your kindness and kindness. Sincerity, rather than using property as an exchange price, true friendship cannot be bought with any amount of wealth."
"Abu is right. If we prairie people want to make friends with others, we must first make ourselves friends with them..."
The person who spoke was a boy next to Zhuo Ligetu. He looked about eight or nine years old, with a strong body, dark skin, and a pair of bright eyes with perseverance under his thick eyebrows.
The boy stepped forward, put his hand on the little girl's shoulder and said: "Uzhina, if you want him to call you Egeqi, you must first act like a sister. One day he will really treat you as Sister, he will bark even if you don’t say anything.”
The boy turned around to face Shao Xi, "I am Uzhina's brother. My name is Muren. I am eight years old. I apologize to you on behalf of my sister for what happened just now." As he spoke, he bowed forward slightly to express his gratitude. apology.
Zhuoli Getu and Xuri Qian next to him looked at each other and nodded, with a pleased smile on their faces. The people around him also cast approving glances at the boy. In him, they could vaguely see the future leader of the tribe.
Shao Xi had already stood up. Only then did he realize that the other person was a full head taller than him. This six-year-old body always made him feel a little uncomfortable. He bowed his hand to Muren in response.
"I heard from Abu that you are very brave and did not flinch when facing a pack of wolves alone. I like a man like you and want to be friends with you. I wonder if you are willing?" Muren looked at Shao expectantly. Xi.
Shao Xi looked up at this sensible boy and nodded.
Who knew that this guy would go even further and pulled Uzhina behind him, "You and I are friends now, so you and her should also be considered friends, right?"
Oh ho! This guy is really calculating. After doing this, he was still a younger brother in front of Uzhina.
Shao Xi murmured in his heart, "I, a twenty-six-year-old man, am actually being robbed as a friend by a group of children. Should I consider opening a kindergarten here?"
Shao Xi thought this in his mind, but still nodded. Then he pointed at Uzhina and said, "But from now on I will only call her by her name, not sister."
"Okay, then we will all be good friends from now on."
The adults around him all laughed. After all, they are just a bunch of kids, and the way to solve problems is that simple.
Muren took off his short knife from his waist and handed it to Shao Xi with both hands. It was a short silver knife about twenty-five centimeters long, with exquisite patterns carved on the handle and scabbard.
"Abu gave this to me on my birthday." Muren looked back at Zhuoligetu.
"With it by your side, when you encounter danger again in the future, it will be like I am by your side."
Shao Xi took the dagger with both hands and said, "Thank you."
At this time, Uzhina stepped forward and put the purse into Shao Xi's hand, "I'll give you this too. It can hold many beautiful stones."
"Stones? Packing stones in such a beautiful sheepskin waistband?" Although he didn't say it, Shao Xi felt a little bit dumbfounded.
I weighed it with my hands and it felt heavy, as if there were really a lot of stones inside.
Shao Xi was also speechless...
"Thank you for your gifts, please wait for me..."
No matter in any era or anywhere in the world, after accepting a gift from others, you should give something in return to express your gratitude.
Of course, now is no exception.
Shao Xi put the dagger and pocket bag on the wooden pier and began to touch his body. However, he touched and touched again and again, except for the safety buckle on his neck, this was the only thing left. The safety button is a relic left by my mother. It cannot be given away. You can't take off the clothes you wear and give them back to others, right?
When Shao Xi was in a hurry and couldn't find anything on his body, he caught a glimpse of Old Wu who was leaning aside because of his greed for drink, so he ran over and kicked Old Wu on the leg.
"Look, look, see if you have anything on you that you can give away."
Lao Wu was leaning over in confusion at the moment, and was suddenly kicked by Shao Xi to sit up.
"Why are your doll's hands and feet so heavy now? Can't you be lighter?"
"Stop talking nonsense, look at what you have on you and get it quickly."
Old Wu had been on the run for so many days, and now he realized that the man next to him was actually a bandit...
