Chapter Forty-Eight: Please Help Me
The soldiers, whom Ram's guards call savages, are actually a tribe that has lived here for generations in this rocky mountain, and they have been breeding here for almost a thousand years!
No matter how time passes, how the years baptize, they have never stepped out of the stone mountain! However, there are always some surprises, such as the friend that Ram came to find, the new leader of the Gongla tribe, Kiral, who was once a young man who was unwilling to shrink into the mountains for the rest of his life! It was precisely because of his restlessness that he met Ram in a strange but very dangerous world outside the mountain!
Chillar looked at this old friend who had not been seen for many years with strange eyes, and sighed, "I can't imagine that you can still remember the cry for help of the Gongla tribe that I taught you!" But if it weren't for the cry for help just now, I'm afraid you and your people would have become the devil's darling by now! ”
Ram smiled, at this time he no longer had to show himself in front of the soldiers! Instead, he looked like a child, and even smiled a little scoundrelly: "If it weren't for this scream, I'm afraid your dignified chief wouldn't have come out, right?" ”
Cheer shrugged his shoulders and said, "Times are different now, since this place is full of terrorists and ill-intentioned people!" All the tribes in the Stone Mountain have their own rules! That is, anyone who trespasses on the tribe without a communication signal will be killed! Who knows if any of you have bad ideas? ”
Ramhaha laughed and said to Chillal, "Then look at me, do you look like a bad person?" ”
Chillar immediately commented: "You're the worst person I've ever seen in my life!" I remember when I first met you, you tricked the whole world and thought I was a fool! It's a pity that I, a newcomer to the mountain, still think that is the respect that others have for me! So in my heart, you will always be the worst villain in this world! ”
Ram's adjutant had already relaxed his vigilance, but suddenly heard the leader of the other party actually say such a thing, and immediately leaned towards Ram's side. His hand pressed tightly on the pistol at his waist, and as long as the other party made any movement, he was desperate to protect Ram's safety!
Chillal's eyes seemed to be spewing fire, and he stood opposite Ram with a tense sword! Ram's guards unconsciously moved slightly, and their footsteps slowly blocked in front of Ram! Although I don't know what the relationship between the two people is, it seems that the current situation can only be more auspicious!
Suddenly, two silent men burst out laughing! Ram pushed away the guards standing in front of him and strode towards Kiral! Kiral also threw down the knife in his hand and hugged Ram who came closer!
A sturdy black man wearing only pants suddenly hugged another man, and such a scene suddenly made Ram's guards a little confused, and they didn't know what was going on for a while! Even the adjutant kept rubbing his eyes, for fear that he would be deceived by illusions!
Kiral laughed and let go of Ram and punched Ram hard in the chest! He smiled and said, "Ram, you kid, I haven't seen you for fifteen years, and you're still so strong!" ”
Ram grinned as he touched his chest that had been opened by Killal, "I said you can't be light, are you taking revenge?" If you want to be strong, how can I have a strong cow like you? You can knock my bones apart with this punch! ”
Kiral shook his head and said, "Your bones are strong, even if a giant hammer strikes me, I'm afraid it will only tickle you!" Think about the time when we were bullied by others together, you were beaten and slept on the ground, but you just didn't admit defeat! You are a person, if you recognize the right things, you will definitely not change! ”
Ram also laughed, thinking about the two of them knowing each other since childhood, and couldn't help but sigh and said: "There are fewer and fewer friends in the past, and the people who know me are either killed on the battlefield or taken away by illness!" The only good friend I can think of today is you, Kiral! ”
Chillar nodded slightly: "I know that you have not had a good time all these years, although I am in the mountains, but I have also heard about you!" Is it that you are not happy now, so you came to me? ”
Ram nodded, then shook his head again: "Yes and no!" You're only half right! ”
Cheer shrugged his shoulders and waved his hand helplessly: "Ram, it's been several years, and you still speak like this!" Do you always have to guess for me? You should know that the uninhibited Gongla people don't like to beat around the bush! ”
Ram laughed, looked at the Gongla people with weapons around him, and looked at the dead and wounded soldiers under his feet, Ram sighed and said, "They are all good brothers who fought with me in the north and south, and came and went in the wind and fire. I didn't expect to die under a misunderstanding today, Chilar, can you bury them for me? Just follow the rules of your Gongla people, and let them sleep in the stone mountain! ”
Seeing the corpse on the ground, Kiral nodded seriously! He let go of Ram's hand and slowly walked in front of the fallen soldiers! Suddenly, he fell to one knee, and all the Gongla people around him also knelt down on one knee!
Kiral's right hand slowly moved to his chest, and his left hand was raised high! He muttered something slowly in an archaic language, as mysterious as the most primitive requiem!
The surrounding Gongla people also chanted loudly after Qilar had finished reciting the complicated words, and there seemed to be souls rising above the entire clearing, and the souls of those soldiers who had been killed slowly ascended to heaven amid the prayers of the Gongla people!
After doing this, Chillar slowly stood up. He silently looked at the corpse that had only left its shell and whispered: "What I admire the most is the great warrior, may you rest in eternal peace under the blessing of the Great God of Stone Mountain!" ”
The people of the Gongla tribe began to lift the corpses on the ground according to the most sacred rites, and they were to bury the baptized corpses in the most sacred places! In the eyes of the people of Gongla, only the greatest warriors can enjoy a resting place!
Chillal turned around, patted Ram on the shoulder and said, "No problem, we'll always be friends." If you're having a hard time outside, the Gongla are your hometown! People from the outside won't come here to trouble you! This is Stone Mountain, the hometown of the great Stone God, and those who dare to invade this place will be punished! ”
Ram nodded a little gratefully, ever since he had proposed that motion! Not only the government is against him, but the people are against him, and even his own family is against him! Let him become like a lost dog running for his life! In the end, I had to live in the ranks of terrorists, willing to live with stigma on my back! It's something he never wants!
Unexpectedly, in the mountains forgotten by civilized society, the friend who had been bullied by him in the past could still remember him, and he could still take him in under the pressure of the government, which made Ram really moved!
Kiral took Ram's hand and smiled as he walked towards his camp. In the hearts of the people of Gongla, it is very impolite to leave a distinguished guest in the wild, and it is also the greatest blasphemy against a friend!
Walk through leafy woods and through dappled forests! After walking around the stone mountain for some distance, Ram's eyes suddenly opened up! A valley surrounded by mountains suddenly appeared in front of you!
The wooden houses in the valley are scattered in harmony throughout the valley, and the small valley is full of smoke from the roofs! Children laugh and run to greet the returning adults, while women quench the thirst of their men with pots and jars of water!
Such a warm scene has not been seen in Ram for a long time, although every qiē in this valley is so primitive that it can hardly match civilized society! But there is a tranquility that the outside world has never had, a carefree life, the anxiety that does not arise from the death that will come at any time! That's what Ram has been looking for for years!
"Ram, Ram, what's wrong with you?" Ram was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look around, where Kiral was strangely tugging at his sleeve!
Ram smiled, touched his head and said, "It's nothing, I just like your territory very much!" The qiē here makes me feel like a real home, much better than the outside world! ”
Killal laughed, took Ram's hand and said, "If you like it, stay here, my home is your home!" I'm the patriarch here, and I've got the final say! Let's go, go to my house, let's have a drink today! ”
Ram's entourage was warmly welcomed aside by the Gongla people, and although they couldn't understand what the Gongla people were saying in their native language, they knew by their expressions that the Gongla people didn't say anything about their friends!
Ram's lieutenant broke free from the crowd and strode after Ram! In any case, he is not at ease with this strange and dangerous place, and he will always be by Ram's side!
When they entered Killal's house, Killal's family welcomed Ram warmly! Although Ram didn't know anyone, he always felt like they were his dearest!
Drinking the fine wine that the Gongla people in the stone mountains have brewed for thousands of years, Ram feels that his whole body is a little flustered! He grabbed a piece of meat on the table and stuffed it into his mouth, regardless of the size! The drumming cheeks are like full of gas, which makes Killal's family laugh!
"Ram, I'm okay here, right? Don't go, just stay here! Killal held up his glass, touched Ram, and drank it all!
His wine glass was surprisingly large, it was like a small clay pot, Ram looked at it with some embarrassment, but after seeing Chiral's empty cup, he drank it in a sip of anger!
To Chilar's applause, Ram put down his glass a little drunk! He felt his head start to get groggy, and his whole body felt as if it had been burned by fire!
Ram pulled the collar of his shirt, grabbed Kiral's hand and said with a smile, "Kiral, remember?" When you were a child, you used to say that if I achieve that dream of yours, you will fulfill ten of my dreams in the future! ”
Kiral's memories were suddenly hooked, and he nodded his head emphatically and said, "Of course I remember, this is my promise to you for the rest of my life!" ”
Ram smiled before alcohol completely took over his mind and said, "Okay! So now I need your help to make good on your promises! I want you, the first warrior of Stone Mountain, to help me fulfill the only dream of my life! ”
Ram's head slammed on the table! He was drunk, drunk! But there was a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth!
