vs 22 Loyal Ones

A grateful smile appeared on Tianhao's face. He half-bowed, and solemnly saluted the three leaders of the stockade, and thanked them one by one.

This is the normal behavior of a barbarian boy who suddenly learns that he has gained fame and fortune. Parents will teach their children from the day they can talk to "be an honest person and never lie." "As we grow up and mature, we know that many times we have to disguise ourselves with lies. "The Wolf Comes" is a fairy tale after all, and in the adult world, it is full of hypocrisy and treachery.

The sea was calm.

Holding a throwing spear, he deliberately chose a clearing with little snow to run slowly, and then accelerated, from a distance of about 100 meters, let out a beast-like roar, and threw the throwing spear that was raised high above his shoulder fiercely, accurately stabbing the immobile mutant emperor ribbon fish in the distance. The sharp tip of the gun stabbed steadily into the target's body, and it oscillated under the action of huge inertia, and the tail of the wooden shaft shook in a short "buzzing" sound.

Under normal circumstances, a throwing gun would not have been able to pierce this monster. In the memory of the host, in the early years of Panshizhai, he organized many rounds up of giant beasts in the sea. The villagers used the same method to lure the giant fish ashore, but its body was covered in a large amount of mucus and a thick layer of subcutaneous fat, which would slip and bounce off even if it was pierced by a sharp spear. The results of all the roundups ended in heavy casualties among the villagers of Panshizhai. Over time, the monster that could not be dealt with by human power alone became a terrifying legend that hovered in the minds of all the villagers.

A ballista might be able to deal damage to it, but there are too many uncertainties to do so. The attack is too close to the sea, and the injured giant fish has a good chance of escaping back into the sea. The first time I couldn't kill it, it would be hard to try it again in the same way.

It's much simpler to trap it than to kill it outright. For the rest, God will help us.

The villagers who had pulled the rope nets in the woods returned. They looked at Tianmad, who was pulling out the throwing spear from the giant fish ice sculpture, and their eyes invariably released a look of awe, and they all gathered on Tianhao.

Changfeng's eyes straightened, and he felt his tongue tremble: "Ah Hao...... What he said was true, he really killed the monsters in the sea. ”

Xu Kun wiped the snot that came out of the cold with the back of his hand, and let out a moan that lost his original sound: "Oh my God, that monster is frozen to death." It...... It was actually frozen to death? ”

A strong middle-aged man walked up to Tianhao in silence and knelt down on one knee. He held a battle axe in both hands and held it high above his head.

Second, third, fourth...... Soon, as many as eleven people appeared around Tianhao. They moved exactly the same, kneeling on one knee, but with different weapons raised above their heads, steel axes, war knives, spears and bows.

This is a ritual of allegiance peculiar to the barbarians of the north. It means giving the rest of one's life to the one you kneel down to be at their sole discretion.

The middle-aged man at the head whispered in a voice of great admiration: "You have avenged my father, and it is you who have helped us get enough food to survive this winter." From now on, you are my master. ”

Because of the cold, Tianhao's face turned slightly pale. In a low temperature environment of more than minus 30 degrees, a leather robe is an indispensable cold insulation. However, what is more important is the physical fitness.

Raise your hand, hold it lightly on the weapon you raise in front of you, and then release. He lifted them up from the ground one by one, and with a smile of relief and approval, he slapped them on the sides of each other's arms one by one.

If I hadn't parasitized this body, the host would never have been able to get the allegiance of these people. His fate is actually known just by thinking about it, either starving to death in the middle of a cold night, or being slaughtered in order to become food for the hungry villagers in the stockade.

The allegiance ceremony is sacred and enviable. I don't know who took the lead first to make an "oh" sound, and the others followed with a rhythmic "oh" sound. Stomping his feet, he lifted the long-handled weapon in his hand, and followed the footsteps with the heavy end and the roar fell at the same time, the impact and the trumpet became louder and louder, until Tianhao lifted the last person from the ground, and the people let out a final roar with a long trill, floating in the mountains and forests in the distance, resounding through the cold sky.

The brave northern barbarians will only express their admiration for someone with warlike rituals. They will kneel only in three situations: first, identify with someone as a master. Second, salute the noble tribal leader. Finally, when the NDE is about to be beheaded.

Pingjun stood in the depths of the crowd. His face was pale, and he had to hold his spear tightly to support his body. Tianhao glanced in that direction and saw that Pingjun was trembling slightly, as if he had been poured into his leather robe by a strong cold wind, and was suffering from the cold.

No one noticed the sneer and deep smile in Tianhao's eyes.

Since I have come to this age, I will take you to live and create our own light.

……

In front of the ferocious savages, the frozen monster is a pile of meat that needs to be cut. A well-made axe chops off the hideous fish's head, splits the fish into large pieces, fits it with a skid, and soon all that remains on the beach is a scattered pile of blood-stained debris.

Skids laden with fish and meat pulled into the stockade caused another sensation among the women and children left behind. The legendary man-eating monster was in front of it, and anyone could walk over and reach out to touch it, and it even had the giant horned deer in its mouth that had not yet been swallowed, and its white and frozen eyes looked dull. The minced flesh of the body is not a testament to strength and rage through its size, but just looking at this hideous and complete head is enough to remind people of the countless stories of death that adults have heard since childhood.

"It was Hao who came up with the idea to trap this monster on the beach and freeze to death."

"Hahahaha! In the future, it will be convenient for us to take seawater. ”

"Look at your brain, where will we need any seawater in the future, we can boil salt directly, as much as we want."

Through the countless admiring glances, Tianhao walked up to the leader Fu Song, and respectfully handed over the dagger in his hand as usual. Fu Song looked at him with a smile: "Old rules, the head of the fish belongs to you." After a busy day, I'll share today's meat. ”

The first hunter can get the head. In the homes of the bravest and most famous hunters, the walls must be hung with the skulls of wild beasts of all sizes, which is the clan rule that the northern barbarians abide by.

Tianfang carried a large piece of fish weighing dozens of catties and walked into the house. When I put down the rock-hard lump of flesh, the floor of the wooden house was shaken and almost warped. He took three steps and ran to Tianfeng lying on the animal skin, and shouted excitedly: "Big brother, the third child is really powerful, he took us to kill the monsters in the sea, it was the third child who took us to do it!" ”

Tianhao followed the footsteps of Tianmad and walked over. With a gentle and modest smile on his face, he sat down cross-legged next to Tianmad, and asked with concern, "Big brother, do you feel better?" ”

Tianfeng, whose face was ruddy, was much better than before. He smiled and nodded slowly: "Much better." There is so much to eat every day, and there is broth, and if I continue to raise it like this, I will definitely gain weight. ”

Tianshuang became interested in the frozen hard piece of fish. She smashed her fingers and used the knife to pry off a lump the size of her thumb, hesitating to put it in her mouth. After thinking about it, he trotted to Tianhao's side, with a little fear, and asked flatteringly: "Third brother...... How do you eat this? ”

"Don't eat raw." Tianhao turned around and smiled kindly: "Go boil water, I'll make it for you later." ”

Tianshuang suddenly jumped up: "Great, the third brother's cooking is the best." That's great! ”

Although the fish does not freeze for a long time, it has a high degree of hardness. According to Tianhao's instructions, Tianfang picked up the axe and chopped it indiscriminately, and Tianshuang picked up the loose pieces of meat next to him and put them into a basin, washed them with cold water, and then put them in a clean pot and drained them.

By the time they were doing this, Tianhao had already chopped up large pieces of fish oil and slowly stir-fried them in a large pot. Tianfang sniffed his nose vigorously, licked his tongue, and said to Tianfeng with a smile with a little yearning for delicious food: "Big brother, today the high priest said in front of everyone, when the application documents are sent to the clan, the third child will be the new hundred heads in the village." ”

"The head of a hundred?" Tianfeng, who was lying on the sickbed, was startled, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was normal. He sighed: "The third child has done so much for the village, the food is enough this winter, and now we can go to the beach to cook salt...... The head of a hundred people is truly worthy of the name! ”

His tone was a little lonely. The younger brother who originally needed to be taken care of suddenly rose up, surpassing him in both ability and prestige, and as the eldest brother in the family, he would definitely feel lost.

Seeing this scene, Tianhao put down the spatula, walked to the sickbed, and said with relief: "Big brother, don't think so much. No matter what, you'll always be my big brother. There are also the second brother and the fourth sister, we will always be a family. ”

Tianfeng stretched out his hand to hold Tianhao's arm, he quickly adjusted his mood and nodded with emotion: "It would be nice if my father and mother were still alive." Back then, my father said that you are the smartest of all the people in our family. ”

"Everything will be fine." Tianhao put Tianfeng's hand back in place and carefully covered it with animal skin. Tianfeng was injured and couldn't move, and the most important thing was to keep warm.

Fry the fish slightly in hot oil until the edges are slightly charred, then boil in water to give the fish broth a milky white color. Tianshuang stayed at home to take care of Tianfeng, and Tianhao asked her to grind all the peppercorns into powder and sprinkle a handful on the boiling white soup noodles, watching the soup quickly become cloudy. Tianhao scooped some with a spoon and tasted it, although it still had a slight fishy smell that could not be eradicated, but it was barely acceptable.
