Chapter 17: The Golden-Eyed Wolf

After telling all the experiences of the previous few days, Zheng Cangqiong, Chen Taidong, Tor Lie and Ma Fei were all very shocked, they didn't expect that there was such a story hidden behind the Sealing Blade, especially the Ural Khan tribe and the Golden Eagle tribe, which was simply unacceptable to Tor Lie.

Torret was in doubt, and he kept staring at Angu, as if asking with his eyes, "Is all this true?" Hundreds of years of tribal warfare for what kind of bullshit prophet? ”

Xingshu looked at Zheng Cangqiong and Chen Taidong and asked, "Master, uncle, what do you think?" ”

The two glanced at each other, but Chen Taidong said: "I discussed with your master, we will not go to Four Seasons Mountain, we will go back to China, first, we have figured out some things in the past few days, and second, after all, we are old, my injury has not yet recovered, and going will only become a burden to you." ”

After Chen Taidong finished speaking, Zheng Cangqiong continued: "Everything that happened here is actually not important to me and your Uncle Chen, the two of us now just want to find out what happened back then, about "Nine Sons", about that frame, about everything. ”

Lian Jiuqi realized something: "Master, have you two already speculated who is behind the scenes?" ”

Zheng Cangqiong didn't speak, but Chen Taidong said: "It's almost, but we don't have evidence, and we don't need evidence, and at the same time, we are not ready to take the past tricks." ”

Ma Fei was surprised: "You plan to call the police?" Joint Police? ”

Zheng Cangqiong and Chen Taidong both nodded, and Zheng Cangqiong said: "Helpless, after all, we don't want to make another mistake, one mistake is enough, and it's time for us to leave this river and lake forever." ”

"It's okay, actually, I want you to go back first." ”

"Torture, come here, we have something to talk to you about alone." Chen Taidong got up and walked to the lakeside with Zheng Cangqiong behind his back, Xingshu got up and followed, and the others stayed where they were, watching the three from a distance.

Zheng Cangqiong picked up a small stone from the ground and threw it into the lake, Chen Taidong just stood there with his hands behind his back, and did not speak, and the torture technique waited there quietly.

"Torture, Master asks you, the stone I just threw down is now telling you to jump into the lake and dive to pick it up, do you think it's possible?" Zheng Cangqiong turned to look at the torture technique, "Don't think too much, answer me with intuition." ”

Torture nodded: "Possibly." ”

"You're wrong, it can't be." Chen Taidong looked at the torture technique and said, "You use your intuition to judge this matter, it was originally wrong, your master said to let you answer with intuition, this is a trap, because you don't know what that stone looks like, you don't know what danger there is at the bottom of this lake, and you don't know whether he threw it or not." ”

After Chen Taidong finished speaking, Zheng Cangqiong spread his hand and handed it over, and Xingshu saw that there was a stone in his hand.

Torture shook his head: "I'm a little confused. ”

Zheng Cangqiong said: "You should be confused, you are confused, because except for me, no one knows whether the stone I threw out just now is the one I want you to find, maybe what I threw in is not a stone, do you understand what I want to say?" ”

Torture thought for a moment and said, "It's not the stone or the lake that matters, it's you, and only from you can you get the answer, right?" ”

Zheng Cangqiong put the stone in the hand of the torture technique: "The day you worship me as a teacher, I tell you, everything must be multi-minded, the day you left the teacher and entered the industry, I also taught you, no matter who it is, no matter how much you trust this person, you can't trust him 100%, even if it is yourself, you have to keep scrutinizing, otherwise, if you are not careful, you will deceive yourself." ”

Chen Taidong returned to him the palm made of Tianxiang wood of the torture technique: "One day is a cargo chaser, a lifetime, but in the final analysis, what you have to figure out is what kind of thing can be called a strange goods, not only that kind of precious treasure, a stone, a grass, it is possible, then speaking, you can decide for yourself." ”

Torture looked down at the stone in his hands and the palms of Tianxiang wood, and fell into deep thought.

In the distance, Ma Fei looked at the torture technique with concerned eyes, and his heart was very uneasy.

That night, everyone camped by the lake, lit a bonfire, chatted about tomorrow's plans, and listened to Torri talk about the wolf herd named "Soul Brand", but Zheng Cangqiong and Chen Taidong were not interested in the topic at all, and the two old men left the camp, braved the cold wind, and walked along the lakeside towards the distance.

"Taidong, do you think there are still rules in the world?" Zheng Cangqiong asked, his eyes looking at the dark surface of the lake, although he couldn't see it, he could hear the sound of waves crashing against the shore of the lake.

Chen Taidong stopped: "Why did someone set up the so-called rules of the rivers and lakes in the first place? That's because someone will not follow the rules, but even if the rules are set, there will still be people who will break them, and when your enemy breaks the rules, and you still want to use the rules to restrain him, you have already lost...... I have been in prison for so many years, reading newspapers and watching the news every day, I will feel that my life is passing by a little, and I also feel that I am getting farther and farther away from the outside world, we will be eliminated sooner or later, and they will be eliminated by the next generation sooner or later, this is the law, so what we can do is to do our best to pave the way for them like ordinary parents, so that they don't go too hard like us. ”

Zheng Cangqiong nodded slightly: "If the mastermind behind the scenes is really that person, should we hand him over to the police?" If we hand it over, there will be no more secrets in our business. ”

"Every industry has its own secrets, if every industry is as conservative as we are, the world will not progress, just imagine, if the people who discovered iron-making back then took this skill for themselves and did not pass it on to others, what would happen to the world?" Chen Taidong looked at Zheng Cangqiong and said, "If the first person to discover that herbs can cure diseases and don't tell others, what will happen to the world?" To put it bluntly, we are clinging to the secrets of the industry, in the final analysis, it is also for our own interests, and besides, even if these secrets are exposed, so what? Not everyone in the world can become a cargo chaser, doing this line of work, the requirement is not how strong the body is, what is required is to be extremely strong in their hearts, for thousands of years, there are countless cargo chasers who have lost their minds. ”

Zheng Cangqiong shook his head: "Taidong, I'm different from you, there are some things I can't convince myself, so I will only cooperate with the police once, only once, but as for what you will do in the future, I can't control it, and I don't want to care, after this time, I will never leave the hospital again." ”

Chen Taidong nodded: "This time when we go back, even if we fight for this old life, we must catch the mastermind behind the scenes, but I think there are still many loopholes in the game you set up." ”

Zheng Cangqiong said: "As long as it is a bureau, it will definitely be a hundred secrets, the so-called encirclement of the enemy must be que, the mistakes made, the loopholes inadvertently created, into the next pocket, that guy will get into it." ”

Chen Taidong looked into the distance, his palms were full of sweat: "I hope so." ”

Zheng Cangqiong smiled: "I hope." ”

At the campfire, everyone except Torture looked at Torret intently, listening to him tell about the wolf herd, while Torture kept watching the campfire, throwing the dead grass next to it one by one from time to time, watching the dead grass burned to ashes by the flames.

Angu didn't know why, so he fell asleep and didn't say a word from beginning to end.

"According to the tradition of the past, the warriors of the wolf head will raise a female sheepdog when they are young, and after reaching the age of 10, they must rely on their own ability to find a wolf den on the grassland, and take a young male wolf from it, and then take care of a dog and a wolf to raise them, and when they reach adulthood, let the wolf mate with the dog, and then give birth to the wolf herd." Torret drank the mare's milk wine in the pot, "This is an ancient tradition, but because the process is too difficult, it was later changed to have at least five wolf herders in the tribe, and when I was born, this tradition was basically abolished, and it was required to have at least one wolf herd, so as to be worthy of the name Ural Khan." ”

Lian Jiuqi asked: "It shouldn't be difficult to raise a dog and a wolf at the same time, right?" When the wolf cub was very young, he left that environment and lived with people, ate and slept with dogs, it shouldn't be a big problem, right? ”

Torrei shook his head: "The problem is here, if you lose your wolf nature for too long, your wolf nature will be suppressed in your heart, so that this wolf will either completely become a dog, or it will suddenly go crazy one day, and even attack its owner, so after the male wolf reaches adulthood, he will deliberately release the dog pack to fight with him, and those who can survive can become the seed of wolf herding." ”

Torret said this, and his mind went back to the summer when he was ten years old, when he was led by his father, Luerre, to the bottom of the mountain at least a day's journey from the tribe, and then Luerlie touched his head and left.

Ten-year-old Lu Erlie knew that he had to find a wolf den in the mountains within three days, and then select and take a wolf cub from it, because he only had three days of dry food, and he had to prevent the she-wolf from attacking.

Fortunately, after the female wolf is pregnant, she will gradually move away from the wolf pack, find a suitable place to give birth to wolf cubs, and wait for the wolf cubs to be weaned and able to move freely, and then bring her children back to the wolf pack.

So, Lourlie had to do it in a relatively short period of time, and he had to be stuck between the weaning of the wolf cubs and the imminent return to the wolf pack after leaving the she-wolf den, and if he missed this time, he would have to wait for next year.

Torre, who was slightly drunk, opened his eyes half-open: "I don't know if it's providence or other reasons, I'm very lucky, I didn't bother at all, I saw a wolf cub crawling out of the wolf den at the foot of the mountain, that wolf cub is still a three-eyed wolf, do you know what a three-eyed wolf is?" ”

Everyone shook their heads, and the torture technique finally raised their eyes to look at Torlie, and watched Torlie stretch out his hand and point at his forehead: "It is in this position of the wolf's head, there is a white or golden spot, if it is white, it is an ordinary three-eyed wolf, if it is golden, then the golden-eyed wolf, the golden-eyed wolf is considered to be the overlord of the wolf pack of the grassland, and when he becomes an adult, generally speaking, he can rely on his ferocity to win the position of the head of the wolf pack, so it is very precious......"

Torret was madly overjoyed when he saw the golden-eyed wolf cub, and he rushed down the hill with the wolf cub in his arms, and drove his horse to the tribe, completely forgetting the most important procedure - that is, to remove the smell from himself and the wolf cub.

The wolf's sense of smell is very sensitive, especially the she-wolf's, once the young wolf is found to be lost, especially the golden-eyed wolf, the she-wolf will generally be desperate to find the smell, the most terrible thing is that if the she-wolf finds that her ability is limited, she will leave other young wolves behind, and return directly to the wolf pack to seek support.

Therefore, when Torri returned to the tribe with the golden-eyed wolf in his arms, and Luerlie found that neither the golden-eyed wolf nor he had eliminated the smell, he immediately ordered everyone to be fully armed and ready for battle, because he knew very well that before long, the wolves would pounce on the tribe and take back the young golden-eyed wolf, no matter what the price was.

The people of the whole tribe have not slept all night, guarding all over the tribe, although Lu Erlie knows that this will be tricked, but there is no way, the wolves are very smart, if they do not send a large number of people to guard the tribe, then the wolves will attack the tribe in the early hours of the morning, but if they stay all night, the wolves will rest nearby, send scouts to observe the tribe, once they find that the people defending the tribe can not bear to rest, they will immediately call the wolves to attack.

Therefore, at that time, the entire Ural Khan tribe was completely passive, and no matter what, a bloody battle was inevitable.

Fighting with people, at least some tribal fire can be left, but fighting with wolves, those bloody beasts will definitely be wiped out.

Eventually, Luerlie took the golden-eyed wolf to Torri and said to him, "This is your trouble, you should solve it yourself, and you can't implicate the rest of the tribe." ”

Torret knew very well what his father meant, and asked him to send the golden-eyed wolf back to the pack, but if he did, there was a fifty percent chance of his death, because something similar had happened before, but that was a hundred years ago.

Torreux's mother knelt down and begged Luerlie not to let her son go, even if she was allowed to go, but Luerlie said indifferently: "It was the golden-eyed wolf he took away, it was he who did not eliminate the smell, so he should be allowed to make up for his mistake, he left his scent at the foot of the mountain, and the wolves found out that it was not the golden-eyed wolf he sent back, and they would still take action...... Even if he was bitten to death by wolves, he would be alone. ”

One dead, hundreds alive, there's no better deal than this.

When Torret walked out of the tent with the golden-eyed wolf in his arms, he saw the soldiers of the wolf's head kneeling on the ground in full armor and begging Lurlie to take back the order, but Lurlie only sat in the tent and did not come out to look at Torret again.

Torret said goodbye to his mother, who was crying to death with tears in her eyes, and took the golden-eyed wolf in his arms, rode his horse, and ran slowly in the direction of the howling of the dogsβ€”the dogs had a very sharp nose and could smell the wolves from a long distance, so the wolves were in whichever direction the dogs barked.

Torret rode his horse, and after running for less than a mile, he saw the adult golden-eyed wolf standing by the river, the head of the pack, and the father of the young wolf in his arms.

Although Torreux didn't see the other wolves, he knew that those wolves must be lying in ambush around, and if something happened, they would rush out in all directions.

The wolves choose to stay by the river because they need water, and because the river can mask the smell they leave behind if they have to retreat due to an accident.

Therefore, there is a saying in the Ural Khan tribe - it is better to kill with people than to bite with wolves.

The cunning of the wolves has allowed them to dominate the grasslands for many years, and the humans who live here only think that they have conquered the grasslands.

The leader of the wolf clan stood by the river like that, staring at Torre, who was slowly approaching with the golden-eyed wolf in his arms, without making any terrifying sound or moving his body.

"I was scared, really scared." Torret took another sip of wine, as if his soul had traveled back into his body when he was ten years old, "I put the young wolf down five or six meters away from the wolf. ”

As he spoke, Torret put down his flask, as if the flask in his hand was the young wolf: "And then, I stood there motionless, just watched, waited, I didn't know what I was waiting for, whether I was waiting for the wolf to take the young wolf away, or waiting for it to bite my throat, my mind was blank, and I thought back later, maybe that's how people felt when they knew they were going to die." ”

Ma Fei hurriedly asked, "What happened later?" ”

"Then something happened that amazes me to this day...... "and the wolf cub ran a few steps towards his father, and just as he was close to him, he barked lowly, and then turned around and ran to me, and stood in front of me, and looked up at me, and I looked at him, and we both looked at each other, until his father turned and jumped over the river and left, and I realized that I might have been rescued." ”

"Huh?" Maffei wondered, "How can this be?" ”

Torret shook his head: "I didn't know at the time, I was also very puzzled, I kept standing there and waiting, waiting and watching, after the wolf left, the other wolves came out from all directions and followed him away, but I didn't see it, as if it was the only wolf that followed me back to the tribe that day." ”

Torret returned with the golden-eyed wolf like that, this time he did not forget to wash the smell of his body, and when he and the golden-eyed wolf returned to the tribe safely, the whole tribe boiled, and even the head of the wolf knelt down to him for the first time, in this way to show his eternal surrender, of course, if he had not become a layman later.

However, a few days later, when Torret went out with the warriors of the wolf's head to learn the hunting skills, he came to the foot of the mountain where he had brought the golden-eyed wolf back, but there were wolf corpses everywhere, and at least fifty or sixty adult wolves had died there, and at the top of the huge rock at the foot of the mountain, Torret found the father of the golden-eyed wolf, the head wolf who did not embarrass him that day.

"It's dead, bruised all over its body, and not a single fur on it is good." Torret drank all the rest of the wine in the jug, "I wouldn't have recognized it if I hadn't seen the golden spot on its forehead." ”

"Has it been attacked by other wolves?" ”

"No, it's not." Torreux shook his head, "When I asked the wolf head of the wolf head, I learned that this is not a battle between two wolf packs, but a fight within the wolf pack, in our words, a coup d'Γ©tat. 2k reading network
