(The characters and plots of the novel are all fictional, please do not sit in the opposite number, if there is any similarity, it is pure coincidence!) )
Far away on the border of the Western Regions, there is a small nomadic tribe called the Lulong tribe.
The origin of the Lulu tribe is unknown, it is said that this tribe was originally ignorant, people choose to live in caves, neighbors with birds, companions with beasts, stupid and food, reckless and moving, drowsy and sleepy. People only know their mothers, but not their fathers, and live a primitive clan life.
The trend of history is inevitably from barbarism to civilization, which is the process of infinite accumulation to qualitative leap, often this leap takes a long time, but sometimes this leap only needs a suitable opportunity.
I don't know how many springs and autumns have passed, people have evolved in gathering and hunting, and in the struggle with nature, people have gradually accumulated rich natural knowledge and social knowledge.
One day, the opportunity finally appeared.
An old man with a childish face and crane hair rode a green ox to this place, and he said to the people: "Between heaven and earth, is it still like a dragon? Void but unyielding, moving and out. It is better to stay in the middle than to hear more and be poor. ”
Under the guidance of the old man, people gradually civilized, and settled down here, multiplied, and took the clan name "Lugong", which may be the origin of the Lulong tribe.
The people of the Lulu tribe live by gathering and hunting, and live a nomadic life of fishing and hunting. The people here are influenced by the elderly, advocating the life of the widows of small countries who "look at each other in neighboring countries, hear the voices of chickens and dogs, and do not interact with each other until they are old and dead".
During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, the chief of Lulong sent an envoy to the east of Chang'an, and served the Tang Dynasty as the suzerain. At that time, the Tang Dynasty regarded itself as the superior country of the Celestial Empire, and treated the envoys from all directions with courtesy, as if the host was entertaining guests from afar, as for the Holy Spirit who came, they couldn't even remember clearly.
But in the eyes of these envoys, Datang has fulfilled the friendship of landlords, and their vanity and self-esteem have been satisfied, so they are happy to become Datang's allies or vassals.
After the envoy, the Lulu tribe also became a distant vassal of the Tang Dynasty, and also brought the tribe the products of civilized society such as writing, mathematics, and music, which further accelerated the social development here. Later, the Lugong people established the Lulong State in imitation of the Tang Dynasty system.
When the envoy returned, he told the story of the prosperity and wealth of the Celestial Empire, which was comparable to heaven. Since then, the Tang Dynasty, which is thousands of miles away, has become an ideal country that the people of Lulong are fascinated by.
From the Lulong tribe to the Tang Dynasty, you must pass through the vast and barren desert, cross the snow-capped mountains that are steep and cold all year round, and pass through the bloodthirsty and murderous land of Beidi. Therefore, although people yearn for the civilization and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, they can only use it as an ideal heaven and a conversation after dinner.
The sky is vast and the grass is blown by the wind and the cattle and sheep are low......
In the vast world, in the vast prairie, the herdsmen waved the whip, the herdsmen grazing leisurely on the grassland, the shepherdess's singing was melodious and tactful, and a small river like a jade belt meandered on the grassland, showing a beautiful Xianning scene.
In front of the felt tent, a group of children are chasing and playing in the grass. Their laughter attracted a little unkempt boy, who hid behind the felt tent timidly and watched the frolicking friends, and from his envious and expectant eyes, he must have wanted to play with them.
The old man came out of the felt tent, looked around, and when she saw the child, she shook her head and sighed, "Alas! Miserable child! Then she staggered to the child, and smiled, and the years had left deep marks on her salallow and gray face, and the furrowed forehead could not hide her deep love for the child, and she went up to the child, and said to him kindly, "What are you hiding here, wolf cub?" Don't be afraid, go play with them if you want to! ”
But the child just shook his head, did not speak, and did not go to play with the other children.
Amama sighed helplessly, "Alas! His eyes were filled with all kinds of complicated expressions. For the sake of this hard-working child, she not only had to endure the cold eyes and abuse of the clansmen, but also had to save money and use most of her already pitiful rations to raise the wolf cubs. But in any case, the wolf cub is all she has, and it is the only reason to support her to stay strong.
The wolf cub is seven years old, but still can't speak. Arama was the child's grandmother, and his mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to him. His father therefore regarded him as a scourge to kill his wife and abandoned him in the wilderness, but at night he was taken back by a wolf and placed outside his grandmother's tent.
Grandma felt sorry for him, and insisted on taking him in to raise him despite the opposition of her son and the clansmen.
My father couldn't stand the strange eyes and gossip of the clansmen, so he left the tribe in a fit of anger and left the country, nowhere to be found. Since then, he and his grandmother have lived together. Because he was brought back by a wild wolf, his grandmother simply named him a wolf cub.
A little girl glanced over and ran over and said, "Wolf cub, come and play with us!" ”
The little girl looked older than the little boy, with big eyes, a round face, two pigtails, and a pair of sweet dimples that made people feel more intimate.
The wolf cub shook his head timidly, not daring to go with the little girl to play with the group.
The little girl stretched out her right hand, her innocent eyes full of friendship and encouragement, and said, "Don't be afraid, wolf cub, there is me!" ”
Encouraged the wolf cub stood up shyly, hesitated for a moment, and then followed the little girl to the grass.
When a teenage boy saw this, he shouted, "Stay away from him, Alina, the little mute is the disaster that killed his grandmother, let's not play with him!" After saying that, he suddenly ran over and pushed the wolf cub to the ground with a sudden thud.
The wolf cub sat on the ground and wiped his tears vigorously, but he couldn't hold back his tears.
The elderly Amama ran over, picked up the wolf cub, and comforted: "Don't be afraid, grandma is here!" Grandma is in! ”
With tears in her eyes, the wolf cub buried her head in her grandmother's arms.
Alina glanced at the boy who had knocked down the wolf cub and yelled at him, "Gul, what are you doing?" Why bully wolf cubs? Then he stepped forward and picked up the wolf cub.
Gu Li roared hoarsely: "Stay away from him, he is mute, he is a disaster star, he is the disaster star who killed his grandmother, he will kill us!" ”
Alina and old Alama pulled the wolf cub up, and Alina said, "Wolf cub, let's go, leave him alone!" ”
Time flies, the wolf cub grows up slowly in the disgust and hatred of the herdsmen, and the grandmother is aging day by day, although the wolf cub is a mute, but very sensible, for the sake of the grandmother and his own livelihood, he goes to the tribe to graze, chores, all kinds of hard work.
But the whole tribe disliked him, often bullied him, and deducted his salary.
Sometimes, civilization is not necessarily a good thing, society has progressed, clans have also been divided, and the Lugong clan can not escape the fate of this history. The powerful became the ruling class, while the wolf cubs and the old grandmothers could only be exploited.
But fortunately, in addition to his grandmother, there is another person who always and everywhere maintains him, and that is Alina, the only daughter of the patriarch. Because Alina is the daughter of the patriarch, when someone bullies the wolf cub, as long as she intervenes, although the others don't understand it very much, they don't dare to make a mistake.
The wolf cub grew up in this environment and developed the habit of being submissive, and he avoided other people's beatings and scolding and teasing, and never dared to resist. However, no one knows, this mute also has his own bottom line, that is, his grandmother and Alina, he will never allow anyone to hurt these two people, because in his autistic world, these two people are even more important than his life, if someone wants to kill him, he may escape, but he will never resist, but they are the bottom line in his heart that must not be crossed......
The sins of heaven can be forgiven, and the sins of oneself cannot be lived. This year, the wolf cub was twelve years old. The seventeen-year-old son of the deputy patriarch, Gu Li, is five big and three thick, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and looks no different from an adult. The old patriarch is old and frail, and the deputy patriarch and his son have always coveted his position, in fact, everyone knows that the deputy patriarch is almost a sure thing, it is only a matter of time, because the position of the patriarch is passed on to men and not women, which is the ancestral training of the clansmen. Gulee not only coveted the position of patriarch, but also coveted the beautiful Alina, who grew up wondering why Alina would love the wolf cub that everyone spons, while ignoring his own enthusiasm, which made him jealous and hateful.
One night Gul died suddenly, his neck was bitten off by some wild beast, and no one knew what had happened. All it is known was that Gul had snatched the elder Alama's only sheep and tried to insult Alina, but was stopped by the wolf cub. The deputy patriarch has always been suspicious of the wolf cub, but first, there is no evidence, and second, the thin body of the wolf cub is impossible to compete with Gu Li, let alone kill him. Coupled with Alina's maintenance, this matter can only be closed, and the case has become an unsolved mystery for the clansmen.
Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle, and in a blink of an eye, the wolf cub is already fifteen years old.
On this night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the shadow of the wolf mountain in the distance stood in the sky, and the terrible wolf howl pierced through the vast field, as if to indicate that something unfortunate would happen.
"The thieves are coming! Run! The thieves are coming! ”
A panicked cry woke the sleeping people. One by one, they ran out of the account, panicked, and fled in all directions.
The wolf cub lifted the curtain of the felt tent and peeked out secretly, and a gang of robbers broke into the tribe, burning and looting, screaming, shouting, crying, and horse chirping mixed with the crackling and peeling of the yurt on fire.
The robbers broke into the matriarch's yurt, and the old patriarch drew his scimitar and desperately protected his only daughter, Alina, the pearl in his palm.
When the leader of the robbers saw Alina, a beautiful girl, his eyes were lustful, and he pressed towards Alina step by step.
Alina was terrified. The old patriarch held a scimitar and pulled his daughter out of the felt tent through the back door.
The leader of the robbers chased after him. In order to protect his daughter, the old patriarch pushed her and told her to run, carrying a scimitar in his own hand, blocking the path of the robbers.
But where is the old patriarch the opponent of the robbers? I saw that with a wave of the robber's long sword, the old patriarch fell in a pool of blood.
When Alina saw her father fall, she ran and threw herself on Abba, crying and crying for Abba.
The old patriarch endured the severe pain and said, "Alina, leave me alone, run!" ”
One of the robbers galloped up on a tall horse, laughed, picked Alina up, threw her on horseback, and ran away.
In a panic, the wolf cub dodged the robbers' arrows, ran to the patriarch's yurt, found the dying patriarch, and picked him up. With blood flowing from his mouth, the patriarch said, "Wolf...... Cub, Ah ...... Yes...... Lina, captive ...... Let's go, ...... Fast...... Save her ......"
The wolf cub looked in the direction of the robber's escape, and saw Alina struggling on horseback, shouting for help.
The wolf cub suddenly raised its head to the sky and roared, its fists clenched, its eyes glowing a terrifying red, and it rushed towards the robber like an angry beast, and it was lightning fast, and soon caught up with the robber. He flew like mad and got on the robber's horse, biting the robber's neck and tearing frantically.
The robber was already frightened when he saw the mad wolf cub, and he still cared for Alina, and fell from his horse like a demon, and screamed in a terrible voice.
The wolf cub rescued Alina and fled on the bandit's horse to the vast wolf mountain.
The robbers were in hot pursuit, and the wolf cubs were desperately beating their horses and galloping all the way.
A huge black ghostly image silently pressed towards the wolf cub, as if to devour everything that approached it - the wolf mountain was already close at hand.
The wolf cub's horses were exhausted and slowed down. The robbers who were chasing after them were getting closer and closer, and just as the robbers were about to catch up with the wolf cubs, a pair of ghostly red lights suddenly appeared in the night, cruising in the darkness like ghosts.
Suddenly, the red light rushed towards the robber like lightning, and in the light of the torches, he finally saw clearly the eyes of a vicious wolf. Before several of the robbers could react, they had been thrown from their horses, and there were terrible bites and desperate cries everywhere.
In the face of these vicious wolves descending from the sky, the remaining robbers were terrified one by one, what kind of mind was there to deal with the wolf cubs and Alina? They hurriedly turned their horses' heads and fled frantically.
After the robber fled, facing the black oppressive wolves, the wolf cub held the long sword snatched from the robber's hand, and the head wolf stared angrily, and Alina behind him was terrified and clinged to the wolf cub tightly.
The head wolf looked into the wolf cub's eyes for a moment, revealing its fangs. The wolf cub is more fierce than the head wolf's gaze, and he also shows his tiger teeth, he has the blood of the she-wolf flowing on his body, the smell on his body is the smell of the she-wolf, what happened between the wolf pack and the she-wolf is unknown, but it is certain that the powerful momentum and wolf nature of the wolf cub can simply crush the head wolf, which is called a blockbuster if it does not sound.
In contrast, the wolf seemed to be a little timid, obediently lowered his head, whined, put his tail under his crotch, circled the wolf cub and Alina, and then wagged his tail and looked at the wolf cub.
The wolf cub seemed to understand the meaning of the wolf, raised his head to the sky and let out a long howl, waved his hand and said, "Go!" ”
The wolf also raised his head to the sky and howled, turned around and left, and the wolves followed suit, disappearing into the night.
The cold of Wolf Mountain at night was overwhelming, and Alina, who was overly frightened, hugged her hands in front of her chest, shivering with cold. The wolf cub picked up the torches that the robbers had discarded on the ground, picked up some dry wood on the ground, lit a bonfire, and helped Alina to sit by the fire to keep warm.
Alina couldn't help but throw herself into the wolf cub's arms and lost her voice in pain, the wolf cub's strong arms bent around Alina, and gently patted her shoulder with the palm of her hand, as if to say, "It's okay, it's me!" Don't be afraid! ”
As it gets dark, the wolf cub and Alina sneak back to the village. The clansmen who had escaped the disaster also returned to the village one after another.
Everyone gathered around the campfire to discuss the next step, the patriarch was no longer there, and the deputy patriarch decided that for fear of the robbers coming back to retaliate, the tribe moved around.
The deputy patriarch said: "This thief invasion must be caused by the wolf cub as a calamity!" ”
The clansmen were gossiping, and I don't know who said, "Kill him!" "The people are all in tune." Kill him! The cries of "kill him" came and went.
