Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Hand of Kochi Village
Everyone walked outside, and Gu Fan looked at Xiao Hei who was lying lazily in the room and asked, "Are you going?"
"I'm not going, it's so cold outside. Xiao Hei decisively refused.
"Okay, then I'm leaving. With that, Gu Fan followed and walked out.
As soon as Gu Fan went out, Xiao Hei saw the group of sled dogs standing up around the fire. One by one, they were violent, grinning at Xiao Hei.
Xiao Hei looked at the fierce appearance of the dogs, and thought, "What a wolf doesn't fight with dogs!"
"Gu Fan, wait for me!" Xiao Hei whined and hurriedly chased out.
Outside the snow house, as soon as Xiao Hei pushed the door and ran out, he bumped into a dog and ate, causing Gu Fan to stumble forward. Accidentally, Gu Fan hugged Wei Qianyi, who was standing in front of him admiring the aurora.
The two of them staggered together and fell into the snow. Xiao Hei raised his head and shook the snow on his body, just shook the snow out of his mouth, and ate another wave of 'dog food'.
Gu Fan and the two were lying in the snow, their hair was covered with velvet snow, if their faces were wrinkled, their image would be similar to that of the old man at this moment.
Gu Fan let go of his right hand and lay flat on the snow, admiring the brilliant and beautiful light in the night sky, if he could, he really wanted to freeze this moment. Wei Qianyi's head rested on Gu Fan's left arm, she was a little dazed for a while, she didn't know what to say, but her little face had already said it for her, she looked at Gu Fan's handsome side face, and her face couldn't help but blush slightly.
"Whew!" Black protested loudly. Thanks to those vicious dogs, I saw such a tender scene, and when I changed back to my original form, I must clean them up!
At this time, Zhao Zhuo and the others walked forward for a while, and Gu Jiancheng suddenly found that the child was gone!
"Hey, there's a snowstorm that will blow you two off in a while, don't look for us!" Gu Jiancheng shouted loudly and frightened them.
Hearing this, Wei Qianyi hurriedly sat up and chased after Gu Jiancheng and them. And Gu Fan was still lying flat on the spot, not getting out of the beautiful night.
Seeing this, Xiao Hei hurriedly arched Gu Fan, "Boy, your girls have all run away, are you still stunned?"
"Huh?" Gu Fan reacted at this time, and Qianyi, who was lying on the side, had already caught up with the large army. He also hurriedly got up and chased after him, and Xiao Hei followed.
"Hmm, no, didn't you say you weren't coming?" Gu Fan ran before he thought of Xiao Hei, who was still lazy in the house just now, how could this come to me?
"Ahem, I'm not afraid you're lost?" Xiao Hei said embarrassedly.
"you,. Gu Fan didn't think much about it, and scolded with a smile. He would never have imagined that Xiao Hei, who was usually arrogant and domineering to him, would be kicked out by a few sled dogs.
After Gu Fan caught up with the team, everyone also happened to arrive at the village chief's house. Gu Fan was very curious, these houses obviously looked very different, how could he tell who was from who's house? It was windy this night, why did he go to the wrong house and go to the wrong kang?
Actually, it's okay to go on the wrong kang here. People here are extremely open-minded, and if they come to stay overnight, they will let their wives sleep with them. It is not a loss of ethics for them to do so.
It's because of the harsh environment, the survival rate here is very low, and in order to keep the tribe able to reproduce better, they will not give up any opportunity to create newborns. Even if outsiders like their children, they can even take them away, as long as the children can survive better, no matter who they follow.
Inside, it was the time of day for the Kochi people's meal, and the village chief had just finished dinner.
When the village chief saw Zhaozhuo coming, he enthusiastically got up to greet the guests, and several people greeted each other.
"Eat, old Gangde. Ha ha. Zhaozhuo said heartily as soon as he entered the room.
"Well, why didn't this Sword City and Jian Li tell me about this old man in advance?" said Gangde in a slightly dissatisfied tone.
"Haha, Uncle Gangde. We came back in a hurry, next time by sure. Gu Jian left.
"Hey, who are these two babies?" asked Gangde as he looked up at the two children in front of him.
It's not that the village elders are hunchbacked, but the height of the people here is so short and strong, although they are small, they are fleshy. It is said that any adult can go head-to-head with a wild bear. It can be seen that the people's customs are strong.
"This is my son and his friend. Gu Jiancheng introduced.
"Hey, come on, don't sit stupid. Gangde warmly beckoned a few people to sit down.
After sitting down, Gangde asked his wife to pour a cup of hot soup for everyone to warm up.
"How long are you going to stay this time?" asked Gonde.
"I'm going to stay for about five or six months this time. Gu Jianli replied.
"Yes, Uncle you will take care of us during this time, haha. Gu Jiancheng said with a smile.
"No problem. Come on, here's the hand. As he spoke, Gangde took out four cards from his bosom and handed them to them one by one.
When Gu Fan and the others arrived, Gangde's hand paused, and he specially instructed: "Don't cross a place where you see a bridge." With that, he handed over his hand.
"I remember that after crossing the bridge in the past, some of them also belonged to Kochi, what happened, uncle?" Gu Jian asked puzzled. Although he hadn't been here for more than ten years, he was still impressed by his previous memories.
"It was taken by the Aiky, and now we only have a small piece of land north of the bridge. As soon as he said this, Gangde's face was full of gloom, and he said in a sad voice.
"What! Don't worry, Lao Gangde, I'll put it for you!" Gu Jiancheng angrily slapped the case when he heard this. It scared Gangde's wife and shuddered.
"Sword City, your head is hot again. Seeing this, Gu Jianli dragged Gu Jiancheng to sit down.
"Sword City, I know you're kind. But the struggle between the two clans can only be resolved by the clansmen. "Gangde received the heart of Sword City, and he knew that with his current strength, if he made a move, he would definitely be able to destroy the Aiji tribe. But he can't break the rules of his ancestors. Rules are rules, even if people die, they must not make mistakes.
"Old Gangde, is there enough rations for each family recently?" asked Zhaozhuo. If there is a hunting operation, it is absolutely necessary to seize the moment and not let the two children miss it.
"The weather has been fine these days, and there has been a lot less wind and snow. Everyone is ready to leave tomorrow to hunt some deer. ”
"Do you think you can let these two children go with them?" Zhao Zhuo said, pointing at Gu Fan and the others.
"It's okay, it's just that there will be chaos and no one to protect them. Gonde voiced his doubts.
"It's okay, Grandpa. We can protect ourselves. "yes, yes. Grandpa, don't worry. Gu Fan and Wei Qianyi assured.
"Well, I'll be with them tomorrow too. ”
Zhaozhuo's words can be regarded as a reassuring pill for Gangde, Zhaozhuo's hunting strength, he knows. As long as there is him, there is no time for the team to come back empty-handed.
"So the best, so the best. ”
