Chapter 33: Wolf Totem
Zhaoyun's hand had just reached in front of Grudo, and Grudo's face was already showing a fierce light.
This guy usually only listens to Gorando, and even Arunor and Sachel can't control it, or don't dare to care about it at all.
"Grando, stop!"
Sarcher snorted softly, but Gorlando didn't listen at all, but turned his head and smiled: "Grandma, it's okay, Grudo is very well-behaved and won't bite......"
"Whew!"
However, as soon as she finished speaking, Grudo let out an earth-shattering roar that startled even Gorando. Immediately after, Grudo opened his bloody mouth, and wanted to bite at Zhaoyun's outstretched right hand, which directly scared Archer stupid.
"Grudo! Stop...... No, stop it! ”
Grando kept commanding, but Grudo didn't listen at all, this was obviously not taught well when he was young, which led to being extremely manic when he grew up, this kind of Tibetan mastiff is not a stranger, and sometimes he doesn't even give the face of his master.
Zhaoyun didn't dare to try to appease a Tibetan mastiff, maybe a hand would be gone; Fortunately, he was extremely fast, and pulled his hand out of the cage in a panic, thinking that the matter would come to an end, but Grudo hadn't given up yet, and slapped his palm on the fragile wooden cage, and in an instant, the wooden cage was destroyed.
"Mom! Ran out! ”
Arunor was startled, and hurriedly fled into the room with Sachel, who had almost fainted. Gorendo hurriedly stood in front of Zhaoyun and shouted, "Grudo, stop!" ”
"Whew!"
Grudo didn't listen at all, and wanted to wave his palm at Gorandot; With Glado's petite body, how could he block this sudden palm?
"Ahh
Gorendo clutched his head and screamed, miserable and pitiful, as if he would become the ghost of Grudo's hand at any moment.
"White wolf, white wolf! Help me! ”
Holding the wolf totem hanging on his chest tightly, Gorandor could only pray silently in his heart, praying that the white wolf on the totem would come and save his helpless self.
At the last moment, Zhaoyun gritted his teeth fiercely, so he had to stand up, and rushed to Glandor to hug her like a fly, and was about to run away, not wanting to make a gust of wind, Grudo had already waved down with a palm-
"Poof!"
This palm hit Zhaoyun's back, and a bottomless blood stain was reflected in Aruno's eyes, shocking; The blood splashed as if time had been imprisoned, and even the bean-sized blood flowers that flew out gradually solidified in the air.
"Gorando!"
Sarcher yelled, but was caught by Aruno, and hurriedly said, "Grandma, you can't go now!" Grudo is crazy, we can't beat it! ”
"Did you just watch Golendor being eaten by that beast?"
"Grandma! Grudo was raised by Gorlando, and he won't eat her! ”
Gorlandor was already frightened, when she had taken Grudo to be arrogant outside, she never thought that this guy would hurt her one day; And what she never expected was that the chattering white wolf did not come, but the heroic young man!
He is like a white wolf on the totem, guarding himself all the time.
"No, it's okay......"
Blood was gurgling behind Zhaoyun, and streams of heat escaped from his body along the blood, and he couldn't help but make a "hiss" sound of pain. He never imagined that one day he would also stage a heroic scene to save beauty.
Gorendo came back to his senses, suddenly felt a stickiness in his hand, looked down, and was stupid: "You...... You're hurt? ”
"Not by You......
Zhaoyun couldn't help but blame, this little girl is too bearish, she must be educated well - I hope that my blood is the best educational material.
"Whew!"
Grudo's attack has not stopped, it opens its bloody mouth like a lion, as if it wants to bite Zhaoyun to death, Zhaoyun was shocked, this guy's teeth can't be touched, rabies or something for the time being, that tooth alone can bite a big hole in his body!
"Get down!"
As a command fell, Zhao Yun's eyes became extremely scarlet, and as soon as Gorando lay down from his fate, Zhao Yun grabbed Grudo's front paws and wrestled with them - in terms of strength, he really wasn't afraid of anyone!
Grudo didn't seem to expect this human to make such a move, so he was stunned for a moment, and then showed his terrifying fangs; And this time, Zhaoyun is fully prepared, and he will not give it any opportunity to take advantage of it.
In the shocked gaze of everyone, Zhaoyun only struck out with one palm, and Grudo seemed to have received a huge force, and he fell backwards weakly; Zhaoyun didn't dare to use too much strength, after all, this was Golando's pet.
Grudo's face was fierce, and he wanted to fight again, but he didn't think that Zhaoyun would be faster, and he had already grabbed it in an instant, while shouting: "Hurry up and get the rope!" ”
Aruno, who came back to his senses, was shocked by Zhaoyun's strength, went to the house to fetch the hemp rope, tied Grudo three times by two, and let him whimper in a low voice.
"Damn, I can be regarded as taking this guy down!" Aruno wiped the sweat from his forehead in shock, and hurriedly asked Zhaoyun on the side: "Are you okay?" ”
"Do I look like I'm fine?" Zhaoyun smiled bitterly, it was the second time he had suffered this kind of skin injury, and the taste was really uncomfortable.
"I'll help you in and lie on your stomach......"
Aruno is a person who admires strength, not to mention Zhaoyun's bare hands against the Tibetan mastiff, but also saved his sister, naturally his favorability has increased greatly, and he is no longer as rude as before.
Grando stood up with a pout, patted the dust on his body, walked up to Grudo, pointed at his nose and scolded, "You are so disobedient that you dare to do something to Grendo!" You will not be allowed to eat for a day! ”
Grudo whimpered silently twice, looking very aggrieved, like two dogs from before. But Glado didn't eat this, and obediently ran to Zhaoyun's side and helped him into the house.
……
Aruno cooked a bowl of warm ginger soup and handed it to Sacher, who had just come to her senses, but she was really scared, and thought that her daughter was going to be gone; But when he saw that Zhaoyun had saved her daughter's life again, his heart couldn't help but be filled with guilt.
"I wanted to thank the guests, but I didn't expect it...... Alas, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have let Golando raise those two mastiffs! ”
Ge Landuo pouted, but did not refute, but obediently helped Zhaoyun wipe the blood from the wound.
Zhaoyun smiled bitterly: "Just now I was the closest to Golando, I can't watch her get hurt, right...... Ouch! It hurts, it hurts, tap! ”
"Oh......" Grando pouted angrily, he didn't like it when people kept treating her like a child.
Sarcher saluted respectfully again, and took out a gold totem from his bosom, which was the same wolf totem as Gorando, and even the size and pattern were exactly the same.
"May the White Wolf Lord bless Addo!"
Golando immediately took out his wolf totem from his arms, closed his eyes decently, and said, "May the white wolf lord bless Ado!" ”
Aruno hesitated for a while, but still took out his wolf totem: "May the white wolf lord bless Ado!" ”
Zhaoyun lay on the couch, looking at the family standing in a triangle for some reason, with his eyes slightly closed, sitting upright, with words in his mouth, as if some ceremony was being held, so that Zhaoyun did not dare to say anything to disturb.
The three of them held the wolf totem, solemn, so that Zhaoyun remembered that when he was in the tribe, every New Year, Gong Changqiu wore a wizard costume, and led everyone in the tribe to worship the totem that belonged to them.
That totem, Zhaoyun didn't pay attention to it originally, but now that he thinks about it, it seems to be the totem of the wolf.
Wolves, ferocious, cruel, and extremely aggressive; But at the same time, they are united and share the same hatred, and they are the totems of nomadic peoples such as the Dog Rong and the Xiongnu. However, the Qiang people and Xirong come from the same source, both from the ancient Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and their totems are the same.
It is a belief, the very beginning of culture; It's like thousands of years in China, with the dragon totem as the totem of the Han people.
The pure gold totem shimmered in the light of the flames, and seemed to produce a bright color that rushed into the sky, so dazzling that it was difficult to take your eyes off. After a long time, the three of them slowly put away the totem and respectfully saluted Zhaoyun.
"What do you mean by Ado?"
There are subtle differences between the Xijon language and the Qiang language, and Zhaoyun can understand the Qiang language they usually speak, but he can't understand the Xirong language they use for rituals.
Golando smiled: "Addo means warrior, grandma thinks you are a warrior, so let's pray for you together!" ”
"The white wolf lord ......"
Sacher said slowly: "The white wolf is our totem, and the white wolf lord is the co-master of our Xijon tribes; But the white wolf lord has been vacant for nearly a hundred years, and every time someone becomes the white wolf king, he will be ruthlessly attacked by the Qin people, and gradually, the white wolf lord is no longer our co-master, but the god of our faith. ”
Arunor gradually clenched his fists and said, "The White Wolf Lord will come back, and he will lead our tribes to stand on the grassland again!" The Qin people have destroyed our people, but they can't destroy our souls! ”
"Alas......" Sachel sighed lightly, "I just want to live a good life, the tribes have been beaten by the Qin people, and they are tired, why don't you two understand this truth?" ”
"Grandma!" Gorando shouted, "Are you at ease that the Qin people have driven us away from our land?" ”
"What do I have to worry about? As long as the family is safe, what's wrong? Sacher shook her head, but no matter what she said, the two siblings still didn't listen, "Katyusha didn't want to come back, he said he wanted to call back...... But the Qin people are so strong, what should we fight with them? ”
"Poof......
Ka, Katyusha? What the heck?
"That, dare to ask, who is Katyusha?"
"It's my Ada!" Gorlando said, "Ah Da is the leader of our tribe, and when Ah Ma wanted to come back, Ah Da resolutely disagreed...... We haven't been in touch for almost a decade. ”
Gorando said, slowly lowering his head, and in his impression, there was almost no memory of his father.
There is only a vague shadow, which occasionally comes to mind.
Ah Da is the meaning of his father, Zhaoyun understands, because there are still people in the clan who call the elder Ah Da, and even uncles and uncles can call Ah Da.
"Why did you come to Kannai?"
Sachell said slowly: "What's wrong with Kannai? We don't have to fight, we don't have to rob other people's things, we live a good life, and we are always in fear on the grassland, and we are in danger of being destroyed at any time......"
"Yes...... But aren't you afraid of the Qin people's territory? ”
Aruno shook his head and said: "The Qin people are not our only enemy, there are many countries beyond the grassland, there are deserts, Gobi, lakes, and countless cattle and sheep. They are rich, we are poor, if we can elect the white wolf lord as before, we can face it when our tribes are fused together, but we are divided...... Not their opponent at all. ”
Zhaoyun was speechless, he didn't know if these people would eventually be assimilated by this era, or if they would return to the grassland and become herdsmen on the grassland.
Sacher seemed to realize that he had said too much, and quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said with a smile: "It's not too early, Aruno, go and prepare dinner...... Guest, you have helped us so much, we, we still don't know what your name is! ”
“…… Taijia," Zhaoyun looked up, "you can call me - Taijia!" ”
