Chapter 194: Fighting.
The extreme western part of the prairie still nominally belonged to the Daliang Dynasty, but it was not governed at all. The www.biquge.info pastures are barren and barren, and there are few herdsmen, like a place of exile, forgotten by the dynasty. But where there are people, that is, rivers and lakes, there are disputes, and there is no pure land in the world.
In this barren and barren pasture, puddles of varying sizes appear randomly every year. The herders will do everything they can and pray for luck to find such a place. Only when there is water can there be grass, and only then can there be greater vitality. If there are enough puddles and big enough and there are not many herdsmen coming, everyone will be safe, and otherwise, there will be a fight. may be due to the fact that they are all fallen people at the end of the world, and such a struggle will not be life-and-death, and often ends with the weaker side giving in.
Batu's ancestors and grandchildren often endure humiliation and give in. The old, the weak, the young, how can they compete. Perhaps it was Zhang Qi who brought good luck, and after the beginning of spring in another year, he migrated not far away, and encountered a puddle in a small hill. Although it is not large, it is an excellent pasture with pleasant scenery, lush pastures, waterfowl and small beasts.
Buhe jumped out of Lele's car and ran to the puddle to have fun. For the herdsmen, this is indeed a rare treasure of feng shui, and they are the first to arrive, even the weather-beaten old Batu also knelt on the ground excitedly, thanking God for his gifts. The cloth tent was tied to the sheepfold, and Zhang Qi did it very skillfully, and he also picked up stones with his hands, and threw over two small beasts.
For Zhang Qi's unique skill, Bu He admired it very much. Happily picking up the little beast from the grass, Buhe excitedly asked the words that he had repeated many times: "Uncle Qingmo, when will I be like you, with a hundred shots." "When you're older. Zhang replied with a smile, and habitually rubbed his head.
"You, in front of Uncle Qingmo, you will never grow up. Batu said with a laugh. "Grandpa said nonsense, Uncle Qingmo said that I was a head taller than last year. Buhe was not convinced. This puddle, because of the arrival of this family, is full of life and vitality.
Within a few days of the comfortable and relaxing days, several more herdsmen arrived one after another. Moreover, these herdsmen are large households, with many people, cattle and sheep, and this pasture spawned by small puddles is very crowded. This means that if someone wants to quit, whoever quits will have to rely on a duel to determine the winner.
The so-called duel is not cruel, but follows the rules of willing to fight and lose. Generally, each family sends one person to duel, and if the weak side can only send children to play, the strong side will basically send their own children equally. If one family takes the initiative to give up, the other family will send one or two sheep as compensation, maintaining the basic right to survival of each family.
Such a duel method made Zhang Qi deeply touched. In the harsh living environment, everyone understands that it is not easy to survive, and they all know that they cannot plunder people and things too much, and balanced coexistence is the way to survive. Killing other people and other living beings is tantamount to digging one's own grave.
In the past, when faced with such a situation, Batu could only choose to back down. Even after Zhang Qi came up, Batu still chose to back down, which made Zhang Qi admire very much. Batu should be very clear about his own ability, if he lets himself fight, Zhang Qi is really a little difficult. Here, living in this way is just for the sake of experience and understanding, and I neither want nor want to change anything. Respect the rules of this heaven and earth, and respect the choices of the people here.
Maybe Batu is because of his self-esteem, or maybe he is content with the status quo and is afraid of causing trouble, so he doesn't let himself go to war. Zhang Qi still thinks that this old man, who knows how to advance and retreat, keeps his duty, is really wise. Just as Batu was about to show back down, Buhe quit, "Grandpa, just let me try it once!"
Batu was stunned, and then scolded angrily: "The hair hasn't grown, what can you do, get out and play!" Zhang Qi, who was sitting not far away, was stunned, this is so familiar, it seems that someone said this about himself back then, and couldn't help laughing. The laughter reminded Bu He, "Uncle Qingmo taught me Dragon and Tiger Boxing, it's amazing!" he protested loudly, and then pulled out the frame in front of his grandfather and demonstrated a few tricks.
"Wait a few years to talk about it, what will you do if you get hurt when you play now?" Batu thought for a moment, but still categorically rejected Buhe's request. The older the rivers and lakes, the less courageous they are, not to mention that even if they don't spoil this lone seedling, there will always be more worries and worries.
"Uncle Qingmo, can you say something!" Bu He turned his head to Zhang Qi for help. This little guy has a fast brain and knows how to make roundabouts. Batu also looked at Zhang Qi with an inquiring eye, and this state really wanted to be expressed, "Before the eagle's feathers grow, they will also flutter in the nest." Zhang Qi blurted out, feeling a little weird in his heart, why did he still talk about whether the hair was long or not.
Batu said that he was going to fight, which surprised several others. "Old Batu, why bother, or we will gather a few more sheep to send you. "Don't show it, don't blame us for hurting you. "------ some of the other families persuaded and some mocked. "It's not me who fights, it's my grandson, Buhe. Batu replied calmly.
In this duel, in addition to eliminating one family, it is also necessary to determine the ranking in order to divide the grazing area. The other few are strong men, with wrestling as the main method, relying on strength to win, and there are few skills. Batu's family was directly ignored, until after the ranking was decided, a strong man asked again: "Old Batu, are you really sure you want to duel? ”
Before Batu could answer, Buhe jumped into the middle of the field and shouted, "I don't want your sheep, I want to raise a lot of sheep myself." The immature voice made many adults present laugh dumbly. "Yo, Xiao Buhe, why do you raise a lot of sheep?" "I want to marry a daughter-in-law." "The hair hasn't grown up, so I have crooked thoughts. ”------
In this barren western grassland, many herders are familiar with each other. Competing for survival will also help each other for survival. In the face of the ridicule of these adults, Bu He's face was a little blushing, and at the same time, he was annoyed by being despised and stomped his feet and shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, who dares to fight with me!" At this time, Bu He's face was faintly revealed, which was different from the temperament of ordinary children. This difference can only be felt by Zhang Qi, and unintentionally, he may be changing something.
Adults to adults, children to children. Buhe's shouting made the other children jump up, and several children, whether they were in size or size, had a crushing advantage over Buhe. "Buhe, I can knock you to the ground with just one hand!"
A child, as strong as a calf, rushed out. The age should be several years older than Buhe, but it does not violate the rules. Then, a little girl of the same age as Bu He also hurriedly caught up with Lengler and whispered something. "Sister, don't worry, although Buhe owes a beating, I promise not to beat him. Lengler said loudly without care.
The boy didn't care, but his sister was so ashamed that her face was flushed. Such a happy thing made the children start to coax, but they heard Lengler's scream, hugging their feet and jumping, "Siqin, you are actually plotting for Buhe!" The little girl who was running back suddenly picked up the clod of soil and smashed it at the brother who was full of nonsense.
Lengler, his feet were trampled on, his head was full of soil particles, he hadn't played the battle yet, he was cleaned up by his own sister first, and he was extremely depressed. Zhang Qi didn't sympathize with him, but he was a little sympathetic to Buhe, at a young age, he got into trouble, and the peach blossom was robbed.
