Chapter 62 Merit

Ban's eyes widened in astonishment, and he muttered 'impossible' before turning his head to look at the Sand King.

Sha Wang narrowed his eyes, with a little surprise in his expression, and although his tone was a little strange and his tone was a little awkward, he said it clearly in Chinese, and said to Song Yang: "I can't think of it, your vision is quite clear." ”

Song Yang told the two companions about his experience from the beginning, and only then said that when he sneaked out of the camp and met a few wolves after meeting that night, he caught a glimpse of Shawang's expression changed slightly, if he couldn't understand Chinese, how could Shawang have such a reaction, but Song Yang was not sure, and said to the class with a smile, 'He understands Chinese', which was also a temptation.

As Song Yang guessed, Shawang was proficient in Chinese.

As early as before Baiyin migrated, Ban Daren took his 'daughter-in-law' to the Sha King's Golden Tent to translate the dog Rong military newspaper, and when he was an old man at work, he would talk in Chinese for an hour, and the Sha Wang could understand what they said but was always silent, and even the timeless Ban Daren and the porcelain doll with a beautiful mind were concealed by him, which shows that the Sand King is scheming.

Such a character, of course, will not come out because of Song Yang's temptation. However, the sand king has his own ideas, since Song Yang has made a tentative speech, it means that he has become suspicious, and he is naturally careful when he speaks again, he has no chance to hear anything useful, rather than this, simply pick out the matter and save both parties from being uncomfortable.

The boss of the class was unhappy, and at his age, he basically lost his temper when he was angry, and he didn't care about anything, so he sneered in Chinese: "It turns out that the king is a learned person, and he even knows Chinese, not to mention the dog Rong script, but the ridiculous old man still doesn't know it, and he takes the trouble to translate the military newspaper for you, and he is really laughing and generous!" After saying that, after a slight pause, the more the old man thought about it, the more angry he became, and translated these words into Shamin and Dog Rong respectively, and said them twice to the Sha King from beginning to end, and the meaning of ridicule was self-evident.

Sha Wang didn't mean to be angry in his expression, and responded truthfully: "I really can't understand the dog Rong script, and it's not necessarily a good thing to understand Chinese, and I can't talk back when I hear you two scold me every day." As he spoke, he laughed, stretched out his hand and patted Master Ban's shoulder to appease, and then looked back at Song Yang: "Next, the wolf matter." ”

Song Yang was a little dazed: "The wolf thing? There is nothing wrong with wolves, mainly strange lizards. ”

The Sand King shook his head with a serious expression: "You mentioned that you encountered a small pack of wolves in the wild...... I want you to explain the details. Just now he heard Song Yang mention wolves, and he was shocked for a while and couldn't keep his ignorant expression, which shows the importance he attaches to wolves in the wild.

Song Yang shook his head: "There are no details, just seven wolves, confronting a strange lizard hiding in the soil, and they escaped when I killed the lizard." ”

Shawang refused to give up, and carefully asked Song Yang where he was hiding at that time, followed a group of important people in the herald clan to meet in the tent, woo wow a little bit of brutal discussion, after a long time, there was a result, in a blink of an eye, the horn sounded, Sha Min sent dozens of squads in one breath, rode fast horses and galloped away, followed by a large number of young people in the clan to sort out dry food, water bladders and sharp weapons, and assembled into an army to stand by......

The ethnic group living in a harsh environment has a very high proportion of soldiers, and among the sand people, men between the ages of fifteen and fifty are the main laborers in peacetime, and all of them can be put on the battlefield in wartime, so the Baiyin clan is only seventy or eighty thousand people, but when preparing for war, nearly 30,000 soldiers can be gathered immediately, and the strength cannot be underestimated. If it weren't for that, the sandmen would have been wiped out by the dogs long ago.

Song Yang and the porcelain doll don't understand what the sand king is going to do, the group is on guard, who are they going to fight? The two looked at the prime minister on the right, and the latter shook his head and said, "Don't look at me, I don't know!" ”

However, the sand king explained a few words to Song Yang and the others.

Master Ban is a grassland expert, but his understanding is limited to military and folk customs, but he doesn't know anything about the 'rules of survival'...... Not long ago, the sandmen met a large herd of yellow sheep, which is a happy event, but behind the great luck, sometimes there are hidden dangers.

In autumn, the yellow sheep migrate, behind them there are often wolves to follow, the speed of the wolves is far less than the yellow sheep, but the advantage is to endure the endurance, and do not hesitate to travel thousands of miles to follow firmly.

It's not that there must be wolves behind the sheep, but the scale of the yellow sheep army encountered by the sand people in front of the sand people is rare, and the possibility of alarming the wolves has greatly increased.

In the following days, in the direction of the flock, Bai Yin explored many times, but never found any trace of the wolves. There are no wolves behind such a large group of yellow sheep, the situation is very abnormal, but the sand king didn't think much about it, just said that it was fine.

But just now when he heard Song Yang mention a small group of wild wolves, King Sha was taken aback again.

Song Yang fell into the hands of Shamin, and he had already thought about it in his heart, and he would not hide anything he wanted to ask, and asked with a smile: "A team of tens of thousands of people, will you still be afraid of wolves?" ”

The porcelain doll also opened her mouth to ask, the question was similar to Song Yang, but the angle was opposite, the husband asked about people, and the lady thought of wolves: "I heard that wolves are cunning and bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, and when they see such a huge team of yours, they dare to attack?" ”

The Sand King responded: "In autumn, the wolves have to add fat and store food to prepare for the winter, which is the most ferocious and greedy time of the year. It is precisely because of their cunning that they can understand that they can no longer eat the flock of yellow sheep in front of them. ”

The wolves are chasing the yellow sheep herd, not to catch the yellow sheep in one goat, they are not fast enough to have this ability. The reason why they are chasing after them is because there will be the old, weak, sick and disabled among the yellow sheep during the migration, and these yellow sheep will become their delicious meal.

However, the sheep encountered the sand people, and the whole half-day round-up was a great harvest for the sand people; For the sheep, it was a purge and elimination, most of the weak were captured, and the healthy ones escaped. After this battle, the number of sheep left behind in the future will be greatly reduced, and there is no point in the wolves chasing after them.

Looking at it from another angle, it is almost like the sandmen robbing the wolves of their rations.

"Speaking of wolves, when you see a large group of people, they may not disperse, mainly depending on the son of the first wolf, if you are more cautious, most of them will turn around and leave; But if it's a greedy and murderous person......" Shawang said this, and the class suddenly sneered: "Still 'greedy and cruel people', Wang Jiahan speaks uprightly, better than the old man, a Han man, and admires him very much." ”

The old man's tone never came to his senses. The sand king is really good-tempered, he laughed it off, and didn't care about anything with him.

Song Yang continued to ask, "If they are really 'greedy and murderous', what will happen to them? ”

"There are two things to do, one is to gather the same kind, the wolves on the grassland have their own territory, usually do not offend each other, rarely cross the border, but if the prey is abundant enough, there will be cooperation between different wolf packs; Then follow from afar, waiting for the opportunity, these beasts are more patient than humans. And, no matter how heavily guarded, there's one thing we can't control, and the wolves are likely to get a chance. ”

Wolves in the depths of the prairie have the instinct to anticipate blizzards, and they are more agile in blizzards than sand people or herders, and the first blizzard of the winter is their chance.

Even if the sandfolk have lived in the wasteland for generations and are very familiar with the weather here, they can't tell when the first snowstorm of the year will come, according to the Sand King's estimate, they will definitely be able to reach the new camp before winter, but the first snowstorm may not necessarily come after winter, it is very willing to be able to get ahead.

If the blizzard arrives early, the sandfolks on the way will inevitably mix, and the wolves will take the opportunity to sneak attack, and the consequences will be incalculable.

In addition, the reason why the Sand King attached so much importance to the small group of wolves that Song Yang encountered was because according to the experience of the Sand People, the real small group of wolves, no matter how hungry and greedy they were, would never approach the group of pedestrians...... Dogs have spirits, and when they encounter people who like to eat dog meat or often kill dogs, they will stay away. And this spirit of dogs is completely inherited from their wolf ancestors. The sand people regard the wolves as demons and will kill them when they see them, and if a small group of wolves finds a large group of sand people, they will only flee when they hear the wind.

Those who dare to haunt the camp in the sand camp will never be lone wolves, there must be a huge pack of wolves gathered behind them, they are spies sent by the wolf king.

The wolf herdsmen are beautified and the sand people are ugly, but whether they are beautified or ugly, the wolves are somewhat mythologized in the hearts of the grassland people, but this kind of thing is really difficult to deal with, and if you want to avoid losses, you must preemptively break them up and hit them hard in advance.

Song Yang discovered the team's 'wolf spies', so the sand king was sure that there was a large group of hungry wolves quietly following the sand people's team, so he sent the team to search around, desperately delaying the trip, and must also defeat the wolves, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

The sand king talked about the wolves, and gestured to Song Yang, signaling him to finish his experience.

Song Yang doesn't hide the experience of chasing monitor lizards and rescuing babies, but if he doesn't describe those hardships and dangers, there is nothing to say about the matter itself, at best two or three sentences. As for the rest, Song Yang didn't remember anything about the things before the Huahai Evil War, and how he came back from the dead was even more inexplicable, and it didn't matter if he sneaked into the camp to secretly visit Xie Zimiao.

The sand king probably asked a few words, and when he saw that there was no point, he stopped asking, closed his mouth and pondered for a while, then raised his head again and said to Song Yang: "The matter of resurrection from the dead is easy to do, but you really killed dozens of us in the sea of flowers, and Yu Baiyin is guilty." ”

Without waiting for Song Yang to react, the porcelain doll was surprised: "How easy is it to come back from the dead?" When she asked, she didn't need the Sand King to answer, she suddenly realized, and said to the Sand King with a smile: "He suffers from drowsiness and was buried as a corpse." ”

The enemy's 'resurrection from the dead' is a sign of divine punishment in the eyes of the sand people, and now that Song Yang has arrived at the camp of the sand camp, Bai Yin knows that he has returned, and it is useless for the sand king to kill him again. But it can't make the clansmen panic, so the sand king will not admit that Song Yang is 'resurrected from the dead', and the excuse of 'being buried by mistake due to narcolepsy' made up by the former Ban Daren comes in handy.

Sure enough, the sand king also smiled and nodded: "That's how I explained it to the clansmen." ”

In addition to discussing the wolves, the Sand King also explained this explanation, asking the elders to go back to the tribes to explain it to the clansmen.

After solving the first question, the second question came up, this time it was Lord Ban who spoke: "Why bother so much, in the lizard's nest, you just kill him to kill him, just like killing the Sampu sacrifice." "The sand king personally led the warriors to chase into the lizard's nest, and the people who followed him were the most loyal people, at that time the sand king killed Song Yang, and he didn't leak the secret, and the matter would be covered forever, and he would make up excuses to coax the clansmen than now, which was much easier and more clever.

"First of all, Samp, he didn't die at my hands, he was." The sand king explained: "Besides, I have always wanted to catch Song Yang, this is true, but I never thought of killing him, I was afraid that he would fall into the hands of the sand master." ”

As he spoke, the Sand King shook his head, and there was no displeasure in his tone because he was misunderstood, and continued: "Baiyin is different from other Shamin and Han people, there are some things that we don't understand, but we don't want to do. Baiyin is independent from most of it, and it's the same reason... If I had killed him today, why would we have gone through all the hardships of the past and migrated to a distant land alone? ”

The words of the sand king involved Bai Yin's entanglement with other sand people, and he didn't say much about it, but the other people in the account could understand what he meant.

"Talk about me again," the sand king pointed to himself: "My teacher is Han, otherwise I would not speak Chinese, he once told me before he died, if you meet Han people, you must be careful and vigilant; But if they are really people in distress, they can help. Can you understand? Sha Min has no ill feelings towards the Han people, and I will be more cordial to the Han people. ”

"Finally, I'll talk about you," Sha Wang looked at Song Yang: "You are willing to take risks for the irrelevant Baiyin little baby, if I still want to kill you, then it's too much..." Unexpectedly, the old man didn't buy it at all, and snorted coldly: "Don't look at me, I don't care." Don't you know how to speak Chinese, speak it yourself? ”

Sha Wang laughed a few times, and said helplessly to Song Yang: "Anyway, it's probably what it means, it's good if you can understand." ”

Song Yang nodded, and the sand king changed the topic again: "You saved a doll and found clues to the wolves, these are all great credits; However, you also really killed dozens of Baiyin warriors and committed a great crime. Unlike the Han people, there is never a 'merit and demerits' in the Baiyin clan, and those who have made meritorious contributions should enjoy the love of the whole clan, but if they commit a crime, they must accept punishment, this is a rule that has been passed down from generation to generation, I am the patriarch but I can't change it. ”

Master Ban rolled his eyes and said in an unkind tone: "What do you mean, just say it directly." ”

The Sand King calmly replied: "If you continue to follow the brigade, everyone will treat you as honored guests until the heavy rain comes and the heavens wash away your sins." If Song Yang can get rid of his crimes, whether he wants to stay as a guest of honor in the future or leave Bai Yin and return home, you decide for yourself, if it is the former, there is no need to say it, if you want to go home and are afraid of the difficult road, Bai Yin will be escorted by warriors along the way. ”

The porcelain doll saw Shamin's heavenly water cleansing of sins, and immediately shook her head and said, "No." ”

Sha Wang's answer was even more resolute: "If you can't do it, you have to do it, this is already Song Yang's best result." Following his voice softened slightly, he added: "Don't worry too much, next time the water cleanses the sin, I will choose a really heavy rain, and it will not stop in Middle-earth." ”

The heavenly water washing sin is divided into two parts, the most fatal is the previous step, the heavy rain can not stop when the hourglass is timed, otherwise all the questions are cut, this process is simply resigned to fate; As for the latter step, it is not difficult for Song Yang to kill the survivors in a four-person fight, and with his current skills, there is not much problem in killing the three sandmen.

The decision of the sand king was also the tradition of the sand people, and there was no room for change or bargaining, and the three of them did not say anything more, and returned to their lodgings, but as soon as they returned to their own tents, the sand lord seemed to remember something, and hurried back to the king's tent, not knowing what to say to the sand king.

Not long after, Master Ban came back, and he brought four Baiyin Qingzhuang with him, and several people worked together to help him build a new tent. Pointing to the new tent, Master Ban said to the two companions, "I live here by myself, don't bother me at night." ”

The porcelain doll was a little embarrassed, Song Yang felt that this was not a problem, and said with a smile: "Let's live together, I still don't understand many things, I have to ask you for advice." ”

"There's a man in the house, and I can't sleep." Master Ban was cold: "Besides, I have nothing to point to you, if there is anything, you can ask her to go, and don't bother me." ”

At this time, a pair of young men came to visit with the doll saved by Song Yang to thank him for saving his life.

Master Ban was also angry about Shawanghui's Chinese, and shook the sentence: "Sha Min can speak Chinese, so I don't need to be a translator!" He wandered back to his tent.

The rest of the people had no choice but to use their hands to communicate with each other......

Xiaowa's parents have been killed when the lizard attacked, and the current young husband is his uncle and aunt, who will raise Xiaowa to grow up in the future. Sha Min is not good at words, especially the 'uncle', who is very grateful to Song Yang, but there are only a few words of thanks over and over again, and then he must ask Song Yang to name the little baby. The customs of the Samin people are special, and the little baby in the clan can only have a proper name when he is two years old, and now this little baby has no name.

Song Yang didn't want to think about it: "Adou." ”

After the young man thanked him, he repeatedly muttered 'Ah Dou, Ah Elbow, Ah Dog' and left, Xie Zimiao asked Song Yang: "Ah Dou... It's weird, what's the origin? ”

Song Yang scratched his head: "There must be a source, but I can't remember it yet." ”

Ever since the lizard attacked the camp, the Sandfolk have been setting up camp and will continue to stay there for the next few days, waiting for the wolves to be defeated before setting off.

Song Yang was beaten by the lizard and was covered in injuries, and his physical exertion was huge, but he finally settled down at this moment, and after entering the account, he ate some things, and he didn't even say a few more words, so he couldn't hold on, and fell asleep......

A big sleep in the dark, I don't know how long it was, until there was an earth-shaking shout outside, which shattered Song Yang's good dream.

……
