Chapter 18: Soul Branding
Why are Golden-Eyed Wolves attacked by their own herd?
The reason is simple, because it has lost its authority, it has not attacked the tribes of the human race, nor has it brought back its own son.
Of course, these are the speculations of the wolf head in the head of the wolf, and Torre's father, Luerlie, also said another possibility - maybe the golden-eyed wolf has long known that his position is threatened, so he did not embarrass Torre, nor did he take his son, preferring his son to fall into the hands of humans rather than be bitten alive by his own kind.
Torret said: "I found the bitten she-wolf and five other wolf cubs behind the rock, the throat of the she-wolf was bitten, the stomach was torn open, the intestines were dragged all over the ground, the five wolf cubs were all in different places, it can be seen that what the coup wolves did was to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so, maybe my father was right, the golden-eyed wolf chose to hand over his son to humans to protect at the last moment, no matter what, I did have a golden-eyed wolf without danger." β
At that time, Torret also learned another story, that is, the story of the golden-eyed wolf to establish a wolf pack, the process is very bloody - because of the ferocious nature of the golden-eyed wolf, the wolf will leave the wolf pack when he reaches adulthood, and will not succeed his father, it can also be said that every golden-eyed wolf will face a big coup d'Γ©tat after reaching adulthood. Therefore, after learning the relevant skills, the little golden-eyed wolf will begin to live independently for a long time, and in the process, the golden-eyed wolf will constantly ambush other small wolf packs, bite the wolf head and the adult wolf with the loyal wolf head, and force the remaining wolves in the pack to bow down to him.
In this way, the golden-eyed wolf will attack one wolf pack after another, growing his ranks, until one day when he is satisfied, his killing will stop, and he will choose a female wolf he likes, live a normal wolf life, raise the next generation, and then the next generation will continue to circulate.
Torri said this, and said with a wry smile: "I didn't understand it at the time, but when I left the tribe and began to learn outside knowledge, I suddenly realized that in fact, isn't the history of mankind like this?" Isn't that the Khitan you are talking about the same way? There is no difference between humans and wolves at some point. β
Lian Jiuqi nodded and said, "So, that golden-eyed wolf later successfully mated with a sheepdog and gave birth to that wolf herd called Soul Brand?" β
"Yes, it went well, it went so smoothly that the whole tribe was surprised, but what happened next was completely out of our control." Torret said and raised the flask again, and when he poured it into his mouth, he found that the flask was completely empty, so he had to put it down and continue, "On the day of the weaning of the soul brand, the tribe held a celebration, and everyone drank and sang until dawn, who knew that at dawn, we found that the golden-eyed wolf and the sheepdog, that is, the parents of the soul brand, were bitten to death, and the only suspect at that time was the soul brand, because the soul brand was full of blood, and no one was allowed to approach it and the corpses of its parents. β
Everyone gathered there, and the warriors of the wolf head drew their weapons, although they were facing a young wolf herd, the murderous aura emanating from the soul brand made everyone shudder. The warriors of the wolf head waited for Lu Erlie's order, and as soon as he nodded, they would immediately kill the wolf herd who had not spared even his own parents.
The wolf herd who killed his own parents was unprecedented in the history of the tribe, because there was no precedent, so Lu Erlie didn't know what to do with it.
In the end, Torrey took the initiative to tell his father: "I go, it is my wolf herd, if it bites me, I accept my fate, if it makes me close, I will let it go, it is a wolf herd, isn't the ultimate belonging of the wolf herd also the grassland?" β
Lurri did not speak, and as he had done last time, he did not come out of his tent, but still sat there, watching Torrlie leave.
Torret walked over to the exhausted Soul Brand and crouched down, trying to reach for the Soul Brand's nose.
At the moment when his hand was about to touch the soul brand, the soul brand opened its mouth and bit Torre's hand, others exclaimed, some timid women closed their eyes directly, and when they opened their eyes, they found that the soul brand was licking Torre's hand, and gradually approached Torre, curled up in his arms.
Torret picked up the soul brand, got on his horse and left through the crowd.
"I took Soul Brand to the foot of the mountain where I had taken its father, and put it in the old wolf's den in that cave, I remember very well, when I left, Soul Brand seemed to know very well that he had been abandoned, and stood at the entrance of the cave and let out a miserable cry." Torret let out a long sigh, "There's no way I can't do that, because an uncontrolled wolf herd will bring disaster to the tribe, and when it really comes of age, it may bite the tribe's people to death, and then it will be in trouble." β
Lian Jiuqi nodded and said, "So, this soul brand is still alive?" And your father kept an eye on you and didn't tell you, right? β
Torlie said: "It should be like this, and I estimate that the person who is monitoring the soul brand now should be Di Lie and Gu Lie who escorted you to the foot of the snow mountain before, they should have been waiting for you at the entrance of that cave until now, and tomorrow morning, when we see them, we will know what is going on." β
Torture frowned: "I hope there will be good news." β
Torreux shook his head slightly, didn't say anything, and then fell directly on the grass, taking advantage of the strength of the wine, and fell asleep with his eyes closed.
Xingshu looked at Lian Jiuqi and asked, "Do we really need wolf herding?" β
Lian Jiuqi just shook his head, and the torture technique became confused, he didn't know what Torree meant by shaking his head before, and he didn't know what Lian Jiuqi's expressionless shaking of his head at this moment meant.
Early in the morning, when the sun had not fully risen, Zheng Cangqiong and Chen Taidong had already gotten up to pack their things, and they didn't know if the two of them were excited or for some other reason, but the two old men who had not slept all night were even more energetic than yesterday.
"Keep walking in the northeast direction, don't deviate from the direction, go at a normal pace for a day, and you will see a spring." "When you find the spring, you go down the river below the spring, and you will find a town where the messenger lives, and when you find him, he will tell you how to go." β
Zheng Cangqiong stretched out his hand towards Torreo: "Thank you." β
Torree shook Zheng Cangqiong and Chen Taidong's hands respectively: "It's a matter of effort." β
Zheng Cangqiong turned to Lian Jiuqi and torture again: "If it's superfluous, I don't want to say it, be careful yourself, it's still the same sentence, don't work too hard, there is only one life, after fighting this time, there will be no next time." β
Even Jiuqi and Torture just nodded and hugged Zheng Cangqiong, Zheng Cangqiong nodded to Ma Fei again, and then gave Mo Duqiao a look, motioning him to follow him to the side.
"Twilight, please this time." Zheng Cangqiong whispered to Mo Duqiao, "Count me against you." β
Mo Duqiao smiled bitterly: "Old man, do you owe me less?" Don't worry, no matter what, I will protect your two precious apprentices, I only hope ......"
"I know!" Zheng Cangqiong interrupted him, "I promise I won't tell you about it, I swore that it will be kept secret for the rest of my life, and I will take it to the coffin." β
Mo Duqiao smiled: "Where is the coffin now, take it to the urn, old man, pay attention to safety on the road." β
After Chen Taidong hugged Lian Jiuqi and Torture, he nodded at Ma Fei, although he didn't speak, but Ma Fei also knew very well in his heart what Chen Taidong meant by nodding at her, which was a kind of trust and a kind of expectation.
After Zheng Cangqiong and Chen Taidong left, the rest of the people, under the leadership of Torlie, moved towards the lakeside, but Angu still didn't speak, his eyes were dull and he looked at the reins in his hand, and he didn't know if he was worried about the remaining people of the Golden Eagle Tribe.
When they returned to the entrance of the cave, they saw Di Lie and Gu Lie, who were still there, and they were surprised to see them appear from this end, and had no idea what was going on.
After Torri told the two of them everything, the two immediately saluted the torture arts and Lian Jiuqi, expressing their great admiration for them, and Torri asked, "There is still something you need your help with, take us to find the soul brand." β
Di Lie and Gu Lie were stunned for a moment, glanced at each other, and Di Lie said, "It seems that the leader has already told you about the soul brand, but I suggest that you don't go." β
"Why?" Torret didn't understand, "Where is the soul brand now?" β
Gu Lie turned and pointed to the east side of the lake: "There is a depression over there, starting from the depression and extending to the hillside behind, which is the territory of the soul brand, and now it is the head wolf of the wolf pack here, and even the bears roaming on the edge of the Gobi do not dare to approach its territory." β
Torret laughed after hearing this, clenched his fists and said, "I knew it was still alive." β
Di Lie immediately said, "Brother Torlie, are you going to go to find the soul brand?" β
"Of course." Torrei nodded, and then glanced at the torture and others next to him, "My father said that as long as they found the holy relics, he would lend them the wolf herd, he lied, but I have to fulfill his promise for him." β
Di Lie and Gu Lie were embarrassed because they were the ones in this generation who were responsible for keeping an eye on the soul brand, so at the beginning when Lu Erlie said that he would borrow the wolf herd, they knew very well that the leader was lying.
Di Lie said: "Soul Brand is now a ferocious wolf, and it is impossible for it to follow you. β
Torret asked, "Then why did my father let you keep an eye on the soul brand?" Why? β
"For the safety of the tribe." Gu Lie replied, and then looked into the distance, "Since you let go of the soul brand, the tribe has been sending people to keep an eye on it, we found that after the soul brand has grown up year by year, its territory has been migrating, changing, and getting closer and closer to the tribe, the leader is worried that the soul brand is reluctant to you, and even more worried, this uncontrolled wolf herd will attack the tribe, so, keep watching, and also order, if you find that the soul brand is dangerous to the tribe, kill it." β
Torrei smiled: "Just the two of you, can you deal with the wolf herd?" β
Di Lie and Gu Lie looked at each other again, and after Di Lie nodded, Gu Lie turned around and opened his backpack, and then took out an assault rifle with a folding butt directly from it.
When they saw that gun, Torre, Torture and the others were dumbfounded, they didn't expect that in the hands of the people of the Ural Khan tribe, there would be modern weapons!
Torret took the assault rifle, looked at it, handed it to the Twilight Bridge that came forward, and asked, "This is what my father asked you to get?" β
Di Lie and Gu Lie nodded, and Mo Duqiao said on the side: "This gun has been around for some years, and the people of the Ural Khan tribe really say one thing and do another, and there are even automatic weapons." β
Torrey asked, "Do you know how to use it?" β
The two nodded together, and Gu Lie said: "When we are fine, we will run far away to practice guns, and sometimes we will use guns to hunt wolves, which is considered a kind of practice." β
Torret sighed, "You know the foreigners? β
Di Lie said: "I only know one." β
Torret suddenly remembered something: "That messenger is right? β
The two nodded again, and Torrei smiled bitterly: "I know, you must have exchanged those old objects from before, and there are bullets, how many more?" Lend us all the guns and bullets, we have to go into the Four Seasons Mountain, I'm afraid we can use it, and besides, tell me more about the situation of soul branding. β
Di Lie and Gu Lie hesitated for a long time, and Gu Lie finally said: "There is something, the leader must not have told you, it happened after you left, everyone in the tribe knows it, but you don't know." β
Torret wondered: "What's the matter?" β
Di Lie said: "It was not the soul brand that bit the soul brand parents back then, but the other shepherd dogs in the tribe. β
Torrei was stunned: "How do you know!?" β
"It's the dog master who is in charge of raising dogs." Gu Lie continued, "About a year after you left, the dog master got sick, and before he died, he told the leader the secret, and it was he who saw the group of shepherd dogs bite the soul brand as a threat, so that the parents of the soul brand were bitten to death by them without resistance, originally the shepherd dog also wanted to bite the young soul brand, but was saved by the dog master, he didn't say it back then, because he knew the leader's temper, once the leader knew about it, he would definitely order all the dogs to be killed, the tribe can have no wolf herding, but not without dogs, besides, The dog master also thinks that the wolf herd will lose control sooner or later, after all, the tribe has long lost the way to completely control the wolf herd. β
When Torrei heard the news, he was stunned on the spot, and said for a long time: "How can this be, how can those shepherd dogs do such a thing......"
Di Lie said: "Because the golden-eyed wolf you brought back is treated the best in the tribe, and the food and shelter are better than other sheepdogs, you must know that the natural enemy of the sheepdog is the wolf, how can the dog let the wolf live so freely under his nose, and also has the best female shepherd dog in the tribe." β
Torrei was silent, he didn't know what to say at all, as the saying goes, people are ugly, and animals are the most simple, but in fact, animals also have seven emotions and six desires, and they will do all kinds of evil things for their own **.
"The gun is well maintained and there are no problems with its use." Mo Duqiao had already put the gun on his back, "Time waits for no one, if you want to find that wolf herding soul brand, then hurry up, are you sure that you can do it today?" β
Torreo didn't say anything, just let Di Lie and Gu Lie lead the way to the Soul Brand's wolf territory.
At the same time, Tang Qianrou and the others, who were far away in the Four Seasons Mountain, fell into despair, since they left the cave, they had been circling in the mountains, and they did not find the "paradise" that Angu said, and everywhere they went was snow and ice, and finally they had to return to the passage cave.
Tang Qianrou sat in front of the fire, with an angry face, Tang Sirong closed her eyes and recuperated, and said a few words to herself from time to time, her habit made Tang Qianrou, who was already very angry in her heart, even more angry.
Tang Qianrou roared, "Can you shut up and let me be quiet for a while!?" β
Tang Sirong didn't even open her eyes: "This is my habit of thinking, you should know." β
Tang Qianrou said hatefully: "But you are not the only one thinking here, you should also think about other people, do you understand?" Old lady! β
Tang Sirong just smiled, still didn't open her eyes, got up and walked to the other side, facing the wall and continued to whisper to herself.
Gulal, Victor and Hayson sat at the corner of the cave, looking at the strange mother and daughter, especially Tang Sirong, they all felt too weird, the old woman not only killed people without blinking, but also behaved very strangely.
Ah Le, who was standing guard at the entrance of the cave, turned to look at Tang Qianrou, walked over, and handed her a piece of chocolate: "Eat a piece of chocolate, it can make you feel better." β
Tang Qianrou glared at Ah Le angrily, and finally took the chocolate and bit half of it fiercely: "Without Angu, we have no way to enter the Four Seasons Mountain!" β
Ah Le looked at Tang Qianrou and asked, "Otherwise, let's turn around and go back, now our dry food and drinking water are enough for us to go back to the grassland." β
"You want to die?" Tang Qianrou raised her eyes and looked at Ah Le coldly, "I won't give up!" I'll definitely find Qimen this time! β
Ah Le glanced at Gulal and the others who were looking at this side from a distance, and said in a low voice: "I just want to remind you to figure out the situation, even if I am on your side, your mother will defend you, the three of us are not the opponents of those mercenaries, it doesn't matter if my patience is exhausted, their patience is limited, if they can't find the way into the mountain, the best result is that they abandon us and return, the worst result is that we are killed, did you hear what I said clearly?" β
When Tang Qianrou was about to look at Gulal and them, Ah Le immediately said: "Don't look at them, the more you look at them, the easier it is to have an accident, look at me." β
Tang Qianrou had to raise her eyes to look at Ah Le, Ah Le smiled and said: "You should laugh more, be relaxed, even you are not easy, these people you spent money to hire are even more difficult, once they are not easy, it will lead to rebellion, so you should consider my suggestion carefully." β
Tang Qianrou held her breath, then slowly spit it out, with a slight smile on her face, she looked at Ah Le, and said word by word: "I agree with your suggestion, but I don't accept it, I just said, I must find Qimen, if you understand, go to the entrance of the cave and continue to guard, if I am in a good mood, I will reward you with a smile in the future, understand?" β
Ah Le got up with a smile, Tang Qianrou straightened up and looked up at him: "Also, the next time you want to order me to do something, please think carefully about how you killed my father." 2k reading network
