Chapter 151: Wolf Totem
I walked a dozen steps forward against the kneeless grass, the vast night in front of me, and the back...
I suddenly thought that maybe it would be wise to spend the night in the car waiting for dawn, but what creeps me out is that when I turn around, I can't find the direction I just came! I turned around rigorously 180 degrees, counted the steps and walked a dozen times, there was no car in that place at all, the lighter could not be wiped in the wind, I could only turn on the blue screen phone, through the faint light can barely see the distance of three steps, I walked in place for a long time, and came to a conclusion, after this nonsense, my car may have been 108,000 miles away from me, maybe within a few steps, but unless I collide with it, to deliberately look for it, it is impossible to find it anyway.
What a damn prairie!
I turned my heart sideways and thrust it in a fixed direction.
The ecology is really good, the grass is half a person high, the stars are so bright that they can come down with a raised hand, the night breeze is clean as if they can breathe pure oxygen, I feel like a pollutant, the air is full of nicotine and car exhaust from my chest cavity and out, people grow up in this environment, he can have a healthy body and a bright temperament...
But soaking the virus in formalin was a mistake, and I felt like I would be wiped out in half an hour at most, especially the deadly cold wind, but soon I didn't think soβthere was a loud wolf howl in the distance...
There are wolves in this place! The long-lost wolf, the dear wolf, the wolf who has been tirelessly committed to the fight against the rabbit family, the elementary school teacher told us that the big bad wolf is a bad guy, but the senior intellectuals are not so arbitrary. After the wolf became a protected animal, there were such in-depth works as "Remembering the Wolf" and "Wolf Totem", which made many people think of the wolf, and many middle-level intellectuals and members of the underworld once again carried forward the wolf culture - I don't know if they will pounce on the wolf when they meet it face-to-face or run away.
I miss the wise woodcutter in "Mr. Dongguo" very much, I miss the hunter in "Little Red Riding Hood" very much, and I miss the old pig in "The Three Little Pigs" very much
Now the situation is in my favor: here the wolf is unprotected; The downside is: I'm not protected either...
I wiped my tears as I walked, and I lost my wolf kiss. What a luxury it was in 2008, but I couldn't be happier at all. Seeing two flashes of light in front of me, I hurriedly lay down, and the speed and posture were so fast that even the SEAL instructors sighed to themselves.
What's that, exactly? Is it a wolf's eye or a shepherd's tent?
I quickly stood up, because I felt that if the other party was a wolf, it would be useless to lie down at such a close distance.
I'll take a closer look. The two lights moved in the tangible wind. It looked like an animal blinking, and it looked like the light of a candle, but fortunately it was just there, and it didn't approach it on its own initiative, so I gritted my teeth and walked over there.
The light was still faint on the flat grasslands, and sometimes I wondered if I was so hungry that I was hallucinating with Venus.
As a result, I walked more than 20 meters and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was indeed a shepherd's tent, and there was a person floating in the light and shadow. β
A tall shadow lifted the tent. Ask aloud: "%... Β₯#* (Mongolian)? β
I exclaimed excitedly, "%... Β₯Β₯Β₯ (Suspected to be a new language)! β
The man wondered, "(*ββ*)!" (Mongolian)? β
I shouted, "*ββ...% (brand new) uh... Do you speak Chinese? "I just found out that I followed people for a long time, you say that I, a person who can't even speak English, is making fun with others? This phenomenon can be explained as the primitive exclamation that he can't help but let out after discovering his kind.
The person who came out was a Mongolian man, dressed in a Mongolian robe, who listened to me and replied in jerky Chinese: "Han Chinese? β
"yes. It's kind of finding someone. Can you take me in for the night? β
The big man hurriedly let me into the tent, smiled and said inside, "There is a guest." β
The tent was lit with two sticks of shapeless lanolin wax. There is a table on the kang, and there is a Mongolian woman, which is similar to the ethnic customs, similar to the yurt in the tourist area introduced on TV, but there is one less hanging portrait of Genghis Khan...
When the woman saw me come in, she stood up and nodded at me, and without saying a word, brought two pieces of white lamb and a crockpot of mare's milk.
I didn't care to say much, I gobbled up meat while rubbing my frozen hands and feet, and when I looked up, I found that the two of them looked at me in astonishment, and I was embarrassed to say, "Sit, hehe, I'm really hungry." β
The man said to the woman, "Go and get some more meat." Then he sat down beside me and said, "Where are you from, guest from afar?" β
I sighed, "I can't tell where I'm from. "I now have a shaved head on my head, like a Khitan, wearing the clothes of the Tang Dynasty nobles, the pants are from the land of Joeone, and the shoes are Kangnai... Who do you say I am?
I saw the man staring at me fixedly, and asked him, "Have you eaten?" "I ask this because I look around and see that the family is certainly not wealthy, and that there is nothing else to do in the tent except for a few hides and a bow.
The man said, "Just eat, leave us alone." β
Mongolians are hospitable, and I still know from the travel guide that nomadic Mongolians will be regarded as the greatest shame and crime if they meet guests from afar, and if they do not entertain them well, I did not show too much restraint, and after the woman took the meat, I pushed the plate to the middle and said, "Let's eat together." β
The couple didn't say much, they sat on the kang and ate with me, I touched all over my body, and the man asked, "What's wrong with you?" β
I was looking for something to give back to the couple, but after touching for a long time, I didn't find anything valuable. I brought it up and said, "Come, taste my wine." β
I poured the bottom of each of them into a bowl, and there was only one bite left in the cup, and if I took out gold or silver, the couple would never take it, and they might get angry. But it's different when it comes to wine, Mongolians are good at drinking, and it is rude to refuse wine brought by guests. The man didn't hesitate to take a sip, and the woman showed great interest in the cup, and I said, "I'll give it to you." β
The woman hurriedly said, "It's too valuable, we can't accept it." β
"What's valuable, fake, it's only 1 yuan." I could see that the woman really liked the cup, and the Mongolians were living in poverty at that time. Their most precious thing is neither cattle nor sheep. It's all kinds of utensils, the good-looking containers are exchanged from the Han people at a high price, this space cup is light, has a large capacity, and is not afraid of touching or falling, this thing is equivalent to a plasma wall-mounted TV for them.
Only then did the man who looked back say in admiration: "The wine brought by the guests is as delicious as a gift from the heavens." β
I poured the remaining small bites into the bowl and handed the cup to the woman.
But the man said solemnly: "I don't deserve to drink such a fine wine anymore, I will go and dedicate it to the Great Khan." β
I exclaimed, "Great Khan? Is it Genghis Khan? β
The man was puzzled: "Genghis Khan? Who's that? Who dares to call himself that - except for the Great Khan of our Mongols? β
The woman explained to me, "It was the Great Khan of Temujin, who brought us Mongols together, and we no longer had to be bullied by the Han and Jurchens." "The love is beyond words.
The man said excitedly: "I'll go and offer him this bowl of wine, and by the way, bring the guests to greet him." He went out and led the horse. The woman poured the wine from her bowl together, returned the cup to me, and said, "We really can't ask for this." β
I pretended to be angry and said, "If you don't take it, I won't eat your stuff." β
When the man went to lead the horse, I asked the woman, "Is Temujin Khan far away from here?" β
The woman said, "It's not far, get on the horse and go, and you can come back after peeling a sheep." "It's like I didn't say anything. Who knows how fast that horse will run. Also How long does it take to peel a sheep?
I asked, "Is it easy for you to see him?" β
The woman said: "It's not difficult, especially for the gift of distant guests." He generally doesn't refuse, and the Great Khan is a man who likes to get to know the outside of the steppe. β
Well, this shows that he has begun to have the ambition of foreign invasion, but he has not yet been called Genghis Khan, I took advantage of the woman's carelessness to throw a blue leaf in the bowl, since this wine is intended to be dedicated to their most beloved leader, no one will drink it secretly, but it is difficult to say whether there will be an accident, as far as I know, other emperors of his level have special people to test for drugs. The man led the horse out of the tent, came in and picked up the bowl and left, and I was surprised, "Are you looking for a jar or a bottle or something?" "What if I spill this?
The man smiled slightly, came outside with a bowl in one hand, flew on the horse, and galloped away at an average speed of 65 miles, and then looked at the bowl, motionless in the night, as if it was growing in mid-air, the Mongolians rode horses, and it was more stable than us sitting on magnetic levitation.
After about two cigarettes (the equivalent of a woman peeling a sheep), there was a noisy sound of horses' hooves outside the tent, and I lifted the crack to look, and saw dozens of well-dressed Mongol cavalrymen led by men to the door, and they dismounted one after another, and some of them pressed their hands on the scimitars, and I wondered with fear: Is it the trick that has been revealed? After drinking my wine, a certain person who tested Genghis Khan for poison began to talk nonsense, talking about Genghis Khan's merits and demerits in later generations, so they sent someone to settle accounts with me?
As soon as I was distracted, the tent was opened by a Mongol leader with many scars on his forehead, who stood there and said loudly with a straight face: "The Great Khan has said that he who offers him wine..."
My heart was sinking like a can full of holes being thrown into the water, and I saw if the momentum was going to be bad!
When the leader said this, he suddenly couldn't stop it, and snorted and said, "It's his best brother Xiaoqiang, if he bends to the tenth finger and you haven't gone to see him, then we will fill your belly with the best mare's milk wine." β
