Chapter 178: Ivory Mat
Tang Zhangwei ordered the ivory mats made of walrus teeth to be transported back to the Tang Dynasty and presented to Tang Xizong.
After Tang Xizong saw the ivory mat, he said, "This thing is very good, it is very comfortable on the bed." ”
This Tang Xizong was extremely luxurious, but after Yang Fuguang knew about it, he said to Tang Xizong: "It's not proper! Your Majesty should rule the country with benevolence, and the people are still very poor today. You use such a good thing, and the people will have an idea in their hearts. ”
Tang Xizong said: "Bold, you are scaring me!" Could it be that I am like a flower child, and the world will be ruled by the arch? ”
Yang Fuguang said: "Then Tang Zhangwei himself doesn't use such things, but let the emperor use them, please think twice." ”
She slammed the stones together with her hand gestures, tied the thick bark and velvet into a pile, and handed him the flint and brimstone. He recognized the flint at once, another stone seemed to have been seen before, but it had never occurred to him to use them together, much less to make a fire with them, he had struck the two stones together as she had done, and only a flash of light had been seen, but he had seen a small flame. He tried again, but he still didn't believe it would ignite a fire. With the clatter of two cold stones, a large flame burst out, and he was startled at first, then excited. After a few more attempts with Ella's help, he started a small fire next to his bed.
He glanced at the two stones again, "Who taught you to light a fire like that?" she was considering his question, but didn't know how to answer him. "Ella did it," she said. "Yes, I know you did it, but who taught you to do it" "Ella... Taught. How could she tell him the truth, the fire burned that day, her axe fell to the ground and broke, and she occasionally found that flint. She put her hand on her head and thought for a moment, trying to explain to him, then shook her head again and said, "Ella doesn't speak well.
He saw that she was a little discouraged, so he said, "You can tell me well, it won't be long before you tell me, you are a mysterious woman!" He smiled again, "Shall I go out for a walk today?"
Ella look", she lifted his quilt and examined his leg, where the knot had been tied with a scar, and the leg was gradually healing. It's time for him to go out for a walk so that he can check the extent of his recovery, "Yes, Jodala can get out."
For the first time, she saw him smile happily like that. He felt as happy as a little boy going out for a summer party after a cold winter, "Okay! Let's go. He stripped off his fur and was anxious to get up and go out, and his childlike enthusiasm infected her, and she smiled, but reminded her, "Jodala eats first."
It wasn't a hassle to prepare breakfast, the food was left over from last night, just a cup of morning tea was added. She brought Winnie some grain, brushed Winnie with fluffy grass for a while, and scratched the pony for a while, and Jodara looked at her, he had seen her do the same thing before, but for the first time he had seen her neigh, the staccato guttural sounds that mimicked beautifully. He didn't know anything about the movements of her hands, and he couldn't understand that it was a language used to communicate with horses, which seemed a little strange. She was able to talk to the horse, but he was also impressed by the fact that the horse could understand her.
Seeing her caressing horses and foals, he asked her what magic she used to tame animals, and he felt as if he had been tamed too. But when she led the mare and the pony towards him, he was amazed and delighted, for he had never touched such a lively horse, nor had he seen a stuffed foal so close, and the appearance of their fearlessness made him hesitate, and the foal seemed to be particularly willing to approach him, for he had touched the most comfortable part of it with the first careful stroke.
He remembered that she had not yet told him the name of the animal, so he pointed to the horse and said, "Horse!" Coveney had a name, and the name was based on its call, just like their names, and Ella shook her head and said, "No, Vinnie.
To him, the sound she made was not a name at all, but a neighing sound that mimicked a horse that resembled it. He was taken aback, she didn't speak any human language, but she could speak the language of horses. Speaking to the horse, he was in awe, it was a great magic.
She misunderstood his bewildered expression, and to explain, she patted her chest and said her name, then pointed at him and said his name, and then pointed at the horse and let out a soft neighing sound. "Is that the name of the horse, Ella, I can't make that sound, I don't know how to speak to the horse." After patiently explaining again and again, he tried to scream
But more like a word, except that it sounds like a horse barking. This made her very satisfied. She led the horse back to the cave: "He's teaching me vocabulary, Winnie I'm going to learn all his words, but I'll have to tell him your name, and we'll consider a name for your little one, and I think he'll give your child a name."
Chodara had heard of certain Zelandani people with the ability to lure animals for hunters, and some hunters were even able to mimic the calls of wild beasts well in order to get close to them. But he never heard of anyone who could talk to the wild ** and convince it to live with him. But she could let a mare give birth to a pony in front of her eyes, and she could pet the foal. A sense of fear came over him, what did this woman do, who she was, and what kind of magic did she have, but when he saw her walk back with a happy smile on her face, she seemed to be an ordinary woman again, an ordinary woman who could talk to horses instead of humans.
Dondara out
He almost forgot that the eager expression on his face had reappeared after she reminded him, and before she could help him, he tried to get up on his own, but this thought was quickly dispelled, he was so weak that every movement was painful, and bouts of dizziness and nausea kept coming up, and Ella saw his expression change from smile to pain and finally turn pale. "I need some help," he said, his smile a little stiff but still full of desire.
Ella helped," she said, supporting him on her shoulders and reaching out to help him, at first he didn't want to rely too much on her, but when he saw that she was strong and knew how to help him up, he was at her mercy. He finally stood up on one good leg, with his back against a pillar. Ella looked up at him, her mouth open, her eyes wide, she wasn't as big as his chin! She knew that his body was longer than the men of the tribe, but she hadn't imagined that length as height, she didn't know what he would look like when he stood up, and she had never seen anyone so tall.
She couldn't remember looking up at anyone since she was a child, and even before she became an adult, she was taller than anyone in her family, including those men. She was always considered big and ugly, too tall and white, and her face too flat.
