Chapter 5: Deer Hunting (7)

、、、、、、、

After listening to Xu Dayan's words, Li Xu no longer struggled, and stared straight at the center of the venue. The cheers, shouts, and laughter in my ears seemed to be all silent in an instant. In the silent red world, he saw Su Si Fuli raise his knife and cut the veins of the old man Wu Yile like a chicken. Then, let the red blood squirt into a red wooden barrel.

Then, the blue-faced, fanged, red-haired Su Si walked over to the next elder and pressed the scimitar to his neck.

"Will you atone for your sins?" The red world was suddenly no longer silent, and Li Xu heard Su Si's voice thundering in his ears.

"I'm going to drink!" He turned his head hard and shouted to Tao Kuo in the distance. Tao Kuo, who was so frightened that he was hiding his face with his hands, heard Li Xu's shout in Chinese, and hurriedly ran over with his head sideways and handed the other party a bulging leather bag.

Li Xu untied the rope that tied the leather bag, and the mouth of the bag was to his throat, pouring the bag full of wine into his stomach. Whether it's the killing around or the carnival, it has nothing to do with him. At that moment, he just wanted to get drunk and just want to go home.

"After the blood of the elders is drained, the feud between the two clans is over, and the captives can become herdsmen!" During the binge drinking, Li Xu heard a voice explain to himself, as if it was from Eru, as if it was from Aunt Qing, and as if it was from Tao Kuo. He didn't want to care anymore, just poured the whole bag down his throat.

"The status of a shepherd slave is higher than that of a slave!" Someone whispered. It seemed to be Xu Dayan's voice, and his voice was also trembling. Did he regret it? Li Xu thought sadly, reached out and wiped his wet face, hugged the wine bag and fell asleep.

People who want to get drunk tend to wake up earlier than anyone else. In the middle of the night, Li Xu felt the heat in the felt tent. He pressed his temple, which hurt like a knife, and scrambled to his feet.

"Attached, are you awake?" A voice with joy and a little fear asked.

Li Xu turned around and saw Tao Kuo wearing a white curly robe, lying quietly beside him. With a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, his hands nervously grasped the blanket under him.

"Boom!" Li Xu felt that countless stars appeared above his head, big and bright. The throat became even drier, and the body began to tremble disobediently.

This is a dream, Li Xu told himself over and over again. His gaze swept uncontrollably to the girl beside him.

It is undeniable that the girl is indescribably beautiful. Li Xu didn't want to deny it. Ever since he learned about the customs of the Xi tribe, he regretted that he had escaped from the tent that day. But when the long-awaited opportunity came to him again, Li Xu suddenly found that he didn't know what to do?

In a daze, he remembered that he had lowered his head and carefully examined the girl's face by the faint light of the coal-fire. It was a budding face, like a precocious lotus flower, waiting for him to pick it. But he couldn't bear to touch it, he just wanted to gently caress this face, and he was all satisfied with it all at once, just at once.

The girl's eyes were closed, and her long eyelashes trembled. She could clearly feel Li Xu's heavy breathing and smell the strong smell of wine on the other party's body. She was looking forward to what Li Xu would do to her, but she was so scared in her heart that she was going to die. The whole body stiffened, and there seemed to be countless small drums beating in the heart.

Li Xu's hand gently fell on the girl's face, stroked her eyes, eyelashes, and eyebrows, and slid up her long hair. The girl nervously anticipated, expected, anticipated and feared the arrival of that legendary sacred moment, and after waiting for a long time, she heard a thunderous snoring.

The girl secretly opened her eyes and saw Li Xu drooling, his head on his shoulder and falling asleep. His hand was still on the tip of his hair, and his smiling face was triumphant in his sleep, as if he had just eaten a peach hidden by an adult.

In his sleep, the fifteen-year-old boy was satisfied.

The lingering fragrance on the pillow was still there, and the girl disappeared like the first time. Li Xu wasn't sure if Tao Kuo's silk really got into his felt bag again last night, but he felt a little weak. I may have messed things up again, and if the things in my dream really happened in the felt bag, within half a month, this matter would once again become the laughing stock of all the men in the tribe.

It wasn't until the spring sun baked the whole felt bag that Li Xu got up. After the battle was over, there was no need for him to take Ganro with him to boost morale. If I guessed correctly, today should be a big day for the elders of the various tribes involved in the war to gather and discuss how to distribute the captives. For owning a group of Xi slaves who had been killed by himself, Li Xu couldn't lift half of his spirit. Sooner or later, he and Xu Dayan will have to go back to the Central Plains, except for Tao Kuo and the memories related to her, Li Xu doesn't want anything here to accompany him to leave.

The strong have everything, and can even trample on the lives and dignity of the weak at will. This is the rule of the grassland, and since it is incompatible with this rule, it is better for me to return to my hometown earlier. Thinking of his home thousands of miles away, as well as the quiet and somewhat boring youth, Li Xu was leisurely fascinated. At the time, I didn't think how beautiful those days were, but now when I look back, I find that all the memories are full of warmth.

"If the conscription is over, or the government can be ......." Li Xu suddenly believed what Uncle Jiu had said that the officials of the Great Sui were not so bad.

"My brother once sacrificed his life for the Great Sui, his parents are old, and with a few exquisite jade artifacts to speak, the magistrate should be able to tell some feelings." Li Xu thought silently, and picked up the linen wrap stacked in the corner of the felt bag.

The package had apparently been turned over, and the treasures had been rearranged and wiped clean. Judging by the size of the pile, all the treasures should be there. Li Xu flipped through it carefully and found that the tortoiseshell hair chisel he had wanted to give to Tao Kuo was missing.

"This savage girl!" Li Xu smiled bitterly, knowing that the dream he was drunk last night was a fact. Looking at his hands for a moment, he tied the package and walked out of the felt tent.

The spring sun bakes people's bodies warmly, which is very comfortable. The entire Susi tribe is bathed in the sunshine of this mid-spring, which is extraordinarily quiet and harmonious. The traces left by the celebration had been cleaned up by the slaves, and new black soil had been dug out of the blood-stained ground. The scent of grass roots and the smell of burnt wool completely replaced the bloody smell in the air, and the madness of yesterday was gone. Su Sibu is still the same hospitable Su Sibu, and the smile on the face of the kind shepherd is still so kind. It's just that in the eyes of the teenager, everything has changed under the sun.

A few herdsmen, with their wives and children, are happily making marks on their family's newly allocated livestock. They sew a piece of cloth on a sheep's ear or scald a flower on a horse's buttocks, and the shepherds who lived for a long time had a way to separate their possessions from those of others, and their ancestors taught them all the skills and rules of survival in the songs they had sung.

Two strong shepherds held down a little girl and put an iron collar around her neck. Then put a felt soaked in water on the girl's chest, lift the burnt lead, and weld the seal of the collar to death. The girl was so moved to tears by the heat of the lead water splashing on the felt, but she did not dare to cry out loud. This collar was a mark of a slave, and she could never remove the iron collar unless her kind master released her, or took her as a young wife for coveting her beauty.

Li Xu saw that his heart was blocked, and he desperately accelerated his pace. Fortunately, Dürr's home is not far from his felt bag, and it is a blink of an eye. Missing an arm, Durr didn't make it to the last war, so the front of his house wasn't as lively as someone else's.

After losing one of his arms, Durr was in a coma for four days and four nights due to excessive bleeding. The elders of the tribe all thought that he had no hope of survival, but Li Xu brought Ganluo to call him every day, and used the legend of the holy wolf blessing to give him the motivation to live. For the strange power and chaos, Li Xu adheres to the teachings of the saint and has never believed it. But when you can use it to save people's lives, you will never tire of it.

Therefore, the Duerr family is very grateful to Li Xu. Seeing him walk in with a large package, he immediately took out milk tea and snacks. Li Xu doesn't know how to cook on the grassland, so most of his lunch in the past few months has been eaten at Dur and Aslan's house. Smelling the fragrance of milk tea, he was not polite, sat opposite Dürr, and ate it in a big gulp.

"Tao Kuo dewired your felt bag yesterday?" Duer's first question almost made Li Xu choke to death with milk tea.
