Chapter 4: The Drunken Country (1)
、、、、、、、
Tao Kuotuosi hugged Ganluo and galloped at the front of the team. Her eyes were red and swollen, and her leather robe was dirty and torn. The smile that bloomed on her face in an instant was the warmest Li Xu had ever seen since she met her.
"Detachment!" In the pink world, Tao Kuo desi held the silver Ganluo and rushed to it.
That night, the Sil patriarch hurriedly summoned the elders of the headquarters and repeated his analysis of Xu Dayan's victory and defeat in expelling the Suotouxi tribe. Several of the elders had already fallen asleep, and they were dragged out of their tents in the middle of the night. After listening to Suciel's relays, and hearing that these words actually came from the mouth of a young man of an alien race who was less than twenty years old, the grumbling was immediately replaced by cheers and exclamations. It is said that the immortal heavens favor the descendants of the white swans, but not only did they send good luck when they needed it most, but also sent a wise man who was rare in a hundred years.
"Cyr, how long are they going to stay in my department, have you asked?" Elder Eto was the calmest, and he was the first to recover from the excitement and care about the whereabouts of the two teenagers.
"I've tried it a few times, and I've heard Eru say that the two of them don't have specific arrangements!" Sussil replied solemnly. If possible, he hoped that the two teenagers would stay in their tribe as long as possible. If they can become their own family, it will be the greatest favor that Immortal Heaven has given him besides his wife.
"I've looked closely over the past few days, and neither of them is a vendor. The silver wolf's guards still looked like businessmen, but the young man, whose wisdom was as deep as a crescent moon lake, didn't care much about money at all. They came to our ministry to avoid trouble! The other elder, Brother Su Sibo, was a little worried, and said with a frown.
Crescent Lake is a very large lake near the tribe, the surface of the lake is dark blue, and the temperature is consistent throughout the four seasons. No one knows exactly how deep the lake is or where the bottom of the lake leads.
"Yes, everything that is very beautiful requires great blessings to have! If the Immortal Heaven hadn't given Su Si so much blessing, we would have accepted them instead of accepting the calamity! Several elders calmed down from their excitement and began to echo the uncle's point of view.
The ancestors of the Susi people once said that anything that is too delicate is a blessing and a curse. The two teenagers from the original are like two pieces of uncarved jade, rough on the surface, but there is a compelling brilliance inside. Such a beautiful treasure may not all be auspicious signs.
"I remember when Wanqing came to our tribe twenty years ago, you said the same thing, Elder. However, what she has brought to the tribe in the past twenty years, I think everyone can see! Sussier frowned and retorted in a low voice.
"Yes, Patriarch Sil was right back then. What happened to them outside the prairie, it was outside the prairie. When we come to our tribe, we have to see if we can bring sweet springs and spring breezes to the tribe! The elders echoed in unison. If it weren't for the fact that Xierli kept the woman surnamed Chen behind, how could we learn how to marinate meat, how could we know how to store vegetables that can only be seen in summer. Over the years, from a woman's sewn clothes to the antlers of the tribe outside the fence to defend against wild beasts, what kind of good idea was not her! ”
Su Sixier listened to everyone's compliments, and his face slowly showed a little smugness. Back then, he tried his best to keep Chen Wanqing, largely because he coveted the other party's temperament and appearance. But no one can deny that he was a little more knowledgeable than the elders of his time. Assuming that without his original insistence, there would be no prosperity of the Su Sibu today.
"Ciel, I'm not suspicious of their identity. Immortal Heaven is above, I, Brother Bo of the Su Si Department are just worried, such luck cannot belong to the Su Si Department for a long time! Seeing that he was isolated by everyone, Elder Boge swore to heaven.
"Brother Bo, I never doubted your intelligence!" Seeing that Brother Bo's expression was a little anxious, Sier explained in a low voice. In the Ha tribe, the effective implementation of the chief's orders was inseparable from the support of the elders, so he could not and did not want to stiffen the relationship with any elders.
"They come when they should come, and they go when they should go. This is the blessing that the immortal heaven has given to my ministry, but I can't expect to possess it forever! Brother Bo nodded and said slowly.
"You want to remind us that it's all about ourselves. This is a wise word that we will never forget. However, the opportunity given to us by the two teenagers from Changshengtian must also be firmly grasped! Cill nodded, agreeing with Bogo's words.
All the elders were naturally very happy to see that Patriarch Xi'er was still independent and sober in the excitement. Soon, everyone came to an agreement. The tribe could meet the needs of the two teenagers, and tried their best to keep the good fortune given by the immortal heaven for a long time. At the same time, the tribe also sped up its own growth, not expecting to maintain good luck forever.
As it turned out, the first half of the elders' deliberations were superfluous. When the herdsmen of the Enthusiastic Su Si tribe heard that the silver wolf would stay in the tribe for the winter, they had already opened their minds to the two teenagers without reservation. After sending off the caravan, without the mobilization of the Sil patriarch, someone immediately took a white felt, pulled a rope, and came to help the two teenagers set up a tent.
After obtaining the consent of the elders of the Long March, the Xi'er tribe carved out an area of two acres square in the core of the tribe adjacent to their own felt bag group, which was counted as the "homestead" of the two teenagers Xu and Li. Before the two teenagers could shirk it, the young people such as Aslan and Dur, who had been privately instructed by the elders, had already driven the stake down.
The living conditions on the grassland are harsh, and all the men of the Xia tribe who can live to grow to the age of twenty are very strong. Under Aslan's command and dispatch, in less than a morning, two large, thick, snow-white felt bags had been built. In order to reflect the dignity of the guest's status, the patriarch of Sir specially ordered someone to bring a ripe yellow sheepskin, and surrounded the bottom of the outer wall of the felt bag around the leather edge. After this painstaking decoration, the two felt bags standing side by side immediately brightened up like two white clouds at sunrise.
"Thank you, thank you, brothers. Thank you, Patriarch Syl! Li Xu watched his new home be completed step by step in disbelief, and he didn't know how to express the gratitude in his heart. After the first two days of trading with the people, he knew the price of new felt and yellow sheepskin. But most of the silver earned from selling Shu brocade has been entrusted to Uncle Jiu and brought back to the Central Plains, and the few silver bells left in his hand at this moment definitely can't afford to pay the cost of half a wall of the felt tent.
"One of you brings good luck to the tribe, and the other wisdom to the tribe. Therefore, these two felt bags are a little bit of Su Sibu's heart. Hope the original guests enjoy the property we have provided with all their might and would like to stay here longer! Patriarch Cir's words were polite and polite, and even after the translation, the boy still felt the sincerity in them.
"Thank you, Patriarch, during this period, anything that is good for the tribe, the two of us will do our best to do it, just like we are doing things for our own family!" Xu Dayan saluted and thanked him in a sinister manner.
"I think the night sky of the Susibu will be brighter because of your presence!" Cill pressed his hand on his shoulder, returned the salute, and laughed out loud as he left the busy crowd. Xu Dayan's reply made him very happy, with the full assistance of this wise young man, before the snow melts, he will win the greatest glory for the headquarters.
It doesn't take long, half a year, for the white swan to spread its wings.
As soon as the patriarch Sussir left, the young shepherds immediately came alive. Someone began to talk to Li Xu, and shyly invited the other party to see the love of today's efforts, and take the time to take the holy wolf to his felt bag to drink a bowl of milk tea, adding some blessings to the felt bag. Someone befriended Xu Dayan and asked him if he could impart some Han wisdom. As for what wisdom Xu Dayan possesses, the shepherds don't know. But they clearly knew that almost all tribal elders had to add a prefix to Xu Dayan's name when mentioning him, "...... whose wisdom is deeper than the Crescent Lake." In the memory of Su Sibu's youth, no one had ever received such praise in nearly twenty years.
Although nine out of ten sentences between each other need to be communicated with hand gestures, smiles have no ethnic boundaries. Soon, the young people became acquainted with each other, and while happily humming pastoral songs, they completed the arrangement of the inside of the felt bag.
Duer's family was wealthy, so he gave Li Xu a set of wooden boxes with the paint that had not yet fallen off to make furniture. Aslan's wife was clever and brought a few woolen carpets with flowers tattooed on the surface. Other young people, depending on their family background, gave carpets, pots and bowls. Li Xu and Xu Dayan excused themselves again and again, but the herdsmen suddenly "couldn't understand" their sign language, pushed the two aside, and put the gifts in the right place in the felt bag.
"For the new heroes of the tribe, the Heatburners must let them live as comfortably as they do!" Eru whispered to Xu Dayan to explain the traditions of the Xia Clan. Whether the two teenagers met the criteria of heroes, the elders had already come to a conclusion. If they insist on not accepting the shepherd's gift, they will appear to look down on the other person, believing that the other person's gift is not worthy of being placed in their felt bag.
"But, we don't have anything to give them back!" Li Xu said with a red face. He was very happy to have a nest of his own. But he received so many benefits from others, which made him feel very uneasy.
"You can thank them with wine, and the people will not refuse the invitation of the master's family!" Tao Kuo Desi muttered a few words quietly, "As for the wine, Aunt Qing said that she still has a few jars of sand date craft there, if you exchange it with good white paper, she doesn't mind taking credit first!" ”
