Chapter Seven: They Are All Good Friends
"Don't forget, this is our grassland. If you think of our home, you should first see if you are worth it." Xu Rigan said proudly with a scimitar.
Seeing that the situation was not conducive to him, Luo Hancheng put away his golden sword, "I will write down what happened today. These two people will be sent to you for the time being. I will come to visit you later."
"Welcome at any time." Zhuoligetu whistled again and drove away the wolves, and then took the tribe's members to leave in a mighty manner.
Although Luo Hancheng was unwilling to accept it, he had no choice but to leave with his subordinates.
The grassland on a winter night is quiet and vast, and you can only occasionally hear a few wolf roars in the distance. The white crescent moon hangs in the air, and the stars in the sky seem to be connected to the distant horizon.
After nightfall, the Totte tribe is still lively, especially because there are two guests coming from afar today.
There were a bunch of big bonfires in the camp, and young girls and boys sang and danced around the bonfire; the older Abu gathered together to recall their heroic past when they were young; the Erjis were chatting about the experiences of each family while sewing the broken robes and boots of young people; and the older Owo and Iji were teasing the younger children.
The people on the grassland are rough, bold and hospitable. Although they do not have delicious food, they bring out the best things they have for their guests.
Shao Xi was holding a roast lamb leg, and was eating it all over his mouth. This was the first meal he had when he woke up - he was so hungry. Thinking about the fact that he only dared to eat ten or eight skewers in Sister Hua's place before, the roast lamb leg in front of him was a luxury. Now he wants to make up for all the losses he had lost before.
Zhuoligetu's daughter Wurina gnawed the cheese in her hand, blinked her big eyes and watched him reincarnate as she looked at the starving ghost, and laughed secretly from time to time.
On the other hand, Old Wu was drinking with Xuri and a group of grassland men. This old guy had a very poor alcohol tolerance. Others were not doing well yet, and he had already been trampled. Since the Feng family escaped from the accident, he has not eaten well and slept well these days, and he has been worried about it. Now he can finally let go and indulge himself.
However, no matter how drunk he was, his eyes never left Shao Xi. This child was the mission of the owner and his life, and he must be optimistic about it.
At this time, a sturdy grassland man pulled the horse-head fiddle and sang the grassland song:
The sky full of stars, the crescent moon,
Young warrior, beautiful girl.
Play your beloved horsehead fiddle,
Hold hands and sing loudly,
Let the bonfire illuminate the night sky;
The galloping horse, the fat cattle and sheep,
Green grassland, white felt tents.
Kind and brave grassland people,
Soar like an eagle,
Bring endless hope to your descendants...
Shao Xi leaned on the wooden pier with satisfaction. After eating, he was full, to be precise, he was overeating. He felt that as long as he burped, he could spit out a whole lamb leg.
Wurina handed over a bowl of macadamia wine. He took a sip and felt that the taste was strange, so he handed it back casually.
"How old are you?" After Wurina came back, she washed and changed her clothes. She now looked quite beautiful.
"Twenty-six." Shao Xi blurted out without thinking.
"You brag, just forget it if you don't want to tell me, why do you want to lie to me?" Wurina 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 very unfair. He was obviously twenty-six years old, so why did he say that he was six years old? It would be disgusting to think about it.
"I'm seven years old! You must be younger than me. You will call me Egeqi in the future." Wurina patted Shao Xi's shoulder.
"What is Ege?" Shao Xi broke free from Wurina's little hands and was treated as a child by a seven-year-old girl?
"Egqi means sister. You must call me sister in the future." Wurina raised her chin proudly.
Shao Xi didn't say anything, but muttered in his heart: "I'll call you sister, it's almost the same for you to call me uncle."
"Don't call."
"Why not call?" Urina asked with her head tilted.
"I don't want to shout."
"You're calling me! You asked me to give this to you." As he said that, Urina took off a beautiful sheepskin waist bag from her belt, with many exquisite silver jewelry on it, and the cover made of cow horns was polished and shining.
"That's not called either." Shao Xi said stubbornly as he looked at the waist bag that made him excited.
"You're calling me!"
"Don't call."
"Call it!"
"Don't call—!" Shao Xi was a little impatient by this little girl.
"Call!"
"Don't call!"
Wurina was also anxious and jumped up, "Are you calling?"
"Just don't shout!" Shao Xi thought it was funny after he said that, why did a twenty-six-year-old man scream with a seven-year-old girl?
Wurina was so angry that she almost burst into tears. After all, she was just a seven-year-old girl.
As Zhuoligetu's daughter, the adults in the tribe spoiled him like a little princess, and the children surrounded her every day, and several boys rushed to say that they would marry her when they grew up. Even her brother Mu Ren, the child Wang, usually wants to make her three points. Now that she has encountered such a stubborn person, she has no temper at all.
The adults nearby also noticed the two sluts at this moment, so they all surrounded them. Zhuoligetu asked Wurina: "Why are you quarreling well? Don't you know he is our guest?"
"I promised to give him my favorite bag, but he just refused to ask me to Egeqi." Wurina pouted her little mouth.
Zhuoligetu laughed as soon as he heard this, and reached out to touch the little girl's head, "Wurina, he is a guest from afar. If you want to be good friends with him, you have to show your kindness and sincerity, instead of using wealth as a price for exchange. True friendship cannot be exchanged for no amount of wealth."
"Abu is right. If we grassland people want to make friends with others, we must first make ourselves friends..."
The person speaking was a boy next to Zhuoligetu. He looked eight or nine years old, strong, dark skin, and bright eyes under his thick eyebrows with firm eyes.
The boy walked up and put his hand on the little girl's shoulder and said, "Wurina, if you want him to call you Egeqi, you must be like a sister first. One day he really treats you as a sister, and he will call you even if you don't say it."
The boy turned around to face Shao Xi, "I am Wurina's brother, my name is Muren, I am eight years old this year. I apologize to you for what happened just now." He said that, bowed forward slightly to apologize.
Zhuoligetu looked at each other with the Rigan beside him, nodded, and showed a gratitude on his face. The people around him also cast a thumbs-up look at the boy, and they had already vaguely seen the future tribe leader.
Shao Xi had already stood up, and only then did he realize that the other party was much taller than him. Now his six-year-old body always made him feel a little unhappy. He bowed to Mu Ren in response.
"I heard from Abu that you are very brave and you don't retreat when facing the wolf pack alone. I like a man like you. I want to be friends with you. I don't know if you want to?" Mu Ren looked at Shao Xi with anticipation.
Shao Xi looked up at the sensible boy and nodded.
Who knew that this guy was getting more and more arrogant and pulled Wurina behind him, "You and I are friends now, so you and her should be friends too, right?"
Oh, yell! This kid is really easy to plot. After doing this, he was still a younger brother in front of Wurina.
Shao Xi muttered in his heart, "I, a 26-year-old man, was actually snatched to be friends by a group of children. Should I consider opening a kindergarten here?"
Shao Xi thought this in her heart, but nodded. Then he pointed at Wurina and said, "But from now on I will only call her name, not her sister."
"Okay, then we will be good friends from now on."
The adults around all laughed. After all, they were a group of children, and the way to solve the problem was that simple.
Mu Ren 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 hilt and scabbard.
"This is what Abu gave me on my birthday." Mu Ren turned around and looked at Zhuoligetu.
"With it by your side, when you encounter danger in the future, it will be like me by your side."
Shao Xi took the knife with both hands and said, "Thank you."
At this time, Wurina stepped forward and stuffed her waist bag into Shao Xi's hand, "This is for you too, it can hold many beautiful stones."
"Stone? Use such a beautiful sheepskin waist to wrap the stone?" Although she didn't say anything, Shao Xi felt a little amused and crying.
I weighed it with my hands and felt heavy, as if there were really a lot of stones inside.
Shao Xi was also speechless...
"Thank you for your gift, wait for me..."
No matter in any era or anywhere in the world, after receiving gifts from others, you should give something back to express your gratitude.
Of course, now is no exception.
Shao Xi put the short knife and waist bag on the wooden pier and began to touch it on himself. But when he touched it, except for the Ping An buckle on his neck, the only piece of clothing was left. The Ping An buckle was a relic left by his mother and could not be given to anyone. You can't take off the clothes he had worn and give them to others, right?
Just when Shao Xi was in a hurry to find something on his body, he glanced at Lao Wu who was tilted aside because of the greed of cups, so he ran over and kicked Lao Wu's leg.
"Look, see if there is anything you can give to others."
Old Wu was tilted there and was confused, and was kicked hard by Shao Xi and sat up.
"Why are your doll so heavy now? Can't you be lighter?"
"Don't talk nonsense, see what's on you, and take it quickly."
Old Wu had escaped for so many days, and then he realized that the one around him was a bandit...
