Chapter 294
"Whoa-" Maybe a few seconds, maybe a few minutes, Batu couldn't tell the difference, the head wolf raised his head and howled in the sky, then lowered his body, made a submission posture, and slowly retreated. The rest of the wolves were even more almost lying on their stomachs, and when the first wolf retreated, they followed suit.
Batu couldn't tell what it was like in his heart. For him, these wolves were as impassable as mountains, but they had to be conquered in order to survive. After lying in ambush for so long, the original pride and ambition to avenge his father and live in this area for the safety of his clan has also consumed a lot, especially at the moment when he came into contact with the head wolf so closely, he even despaired for a while, he couldn't go back, he couldn't go back. Before he could remobilize with the idea of killing one by one, this man, just by getting up and looking at him, made the head wolf succumb and retreat! What a powerful presence this must be!
"Hello! My name is Batu, and I am the new patriarch of the ** tribe, and our tribe is camped 100 kilometers from here. After the wolves couldn't see the figure at all, Batu also stood up and reintroduced himself, his tone respectful, and he unconsciously used honorifics.
"Ouyang." Ouyang Zhi stretched out his hand and gently shook Batu's outstretched hands. He still used the pseudonym he used at the YN base at the time.
"Are you alone?"
"Hmm."
"If you don't mind, come back to the tribe with us tonight, and thank you for helping us get rid of the wolves." The steppe wolves retreat today, and they won't return to the area for at least a month. Maybe it will be longer, after all, Ouyang Zhi gave them a shock today. It's enough to make the wolves jealous here. Then they will not return to dangerous places unless necessary.
"These mines?" Ouyang Zhi pointed ahead.
"We all know that buried there, my people will dig it up and take it away." They are just a small tribe, even a bullet is very precious, not to mention so many mines, they have planted more than a hundred mines!
"Let's go!"
Batu left four men to clear the mines, and then walked towards their tribe with Ouyang Zhi.
Ouyang Zhi only had a vague idea of Chen Yan's direction, so he only followed Batu back, because he heard Batu say that they had been stationed here for a few months, and their tribe had lived in this grassland for hundreds of years. Ouyang Zhi can be sure. Chen Yan must have been here. Then maybe you can get a little bit of information from Batu. Moreover, since Ouyang Zhi came to the prairie two days ago, Batu was the first person he met. There are some cases. It can only be known from them.
Marching on the steppe. If there are no obstacles, a hundred kilometers is still fast. Although they also walk on their feet. When the stars were shining, they finally returned to Batu's tribe.
Say it's a tribe. In fact, there are only 7 sparse tents. Unlike the nomadic life of the past, around these tents, a fence was enclosed with sharpened tree trunks, leaving an entrance and exit in the middle, which could only accommodate three people at the same time. Looking at this doorway, you know that their tribe does not have a car. The tribesmen are all sitting around the two bonfires at the moment, there are only 2 old people, 3 children, all under the age of 5 or 6, 3 teenagers, 7 women, and the rest, all young and middle-aged men, exactly 10. In this way, with the addition of Batu and others, there are only 33 people in this tribe.
Seeing that it was Batu who had returned, all the people stood up, which was a sign of their respect for the patriarch. The man guarding the doorway opened the fence and made a welcome gesture. The crowd moved out of the way and gave Batu the first seat, handing over water and pieces of meat.
"This is my guest, Mr. Ouyang. Respect him as you respect me. Batu raised the bowl, although it was only filled with white water, not hospitable liquor, but that did not affect Batu's welcome to Ouyang Zhi.
Ouyang Zhi didn't speak, just raised the bowl in his hand and toasted Batu, he accepted Batu's kindness.
The people on the side of the bonfire were silent, the child was fine, with a curiosity about strangers, secretly looking at Ouyang Zhi, the old man was vicissitudes and numbness, they had no hope for life, although Batu did not abandon them, but they knew that they were too old to pick up arms, even if they couldn't run for their lives, they didn't know when they would die in the battle of mutant beasts or other tribes, so they were not interested in everything, they just stood like others to show respect for the patriarch. Women, it's even more numb. Looking at their appearance, they are not Mongolians, whether in terms of figure or dress, Ouyang Zhi guessed that they should be women who have been captured by Batu in the past few months. Judging from their clothes, although Batu's people regard these women as tools for venting, they still regard them as human beings. It can also be seen from this that Batu is a person who has a bottom line.
The expression on the man's face is a bit worth scrutinizing, a little incredible, but he doesn't dare to express it. Batu was not a good person to get along with, his father, grandfather, and even the generations back were the patriarchs of the tribe. He has been a high presence in this tribe since he was born. Batu's personality is a bit arbitrary, his temper is a little short-tempered, and when the old patriarch was in the past, there was still someone who could suppress him. But a month ago, when they were out hunting, they encountered a pack of steppe wolves, where the old patriarch died. Batu took over the baton of the patriarch as a matter of course, and the urge to avenge his father and the desire for the survival of the tribe made Batu even more majestic.
Batu does have the ability to be arrogant. His abilities have reached the third level, which is unique among the tribes, and his abilities such as horseback riding and hunting have long been recognized by the tribesmen. In everyone's impression, Batu has never admired a person so much. For the first time, as now, a foreigner has been regarded as his status.
What is this man's ability? This is the question in their hearts.
"Ouyang is alone today and drove away the steppe wolves." Batu put down the bowl and wiped the water stains from his mouth, how could he not know the doubts in everyone's hearts.
"Wow!" This is the exclamation of a child and a few teenagers! They had also seen the power of the steppe wolves, in fact, this group of wolves had attacked their tribe once, and on that occasion, the old people, women and children of the tribe were basically dead. Because at that time, the old patriarch took the men to hunt outside, and the only survivors were the two old men and three children now, because they hid underwater. (To be continued.) )
PS: I forgot to remind the boss yesterday, and as a result, his wife waited for more than half an hour, and when driving, he hit the bus stop, fortunately, people are fine. In the afternoon, I misremembered the time of the boss's wedding banquet, and I was scolded again. When I went home at night, I was sad and had diarrhea until I was dehydrated. Alas, Black Friday!
