The yellow sand was noisy, and at this moment when it was dim and his eyes could barely be opened, the boy stumbled out of the yurt and ran out, covered his eyes with his hands, and shouted hoarsely: "Inada! ”

The grit filled his mouth, and the boy felt that his throat was immediately blocked, and he bent down and coughed, moved his palm down, covered his mouth a little, and continued to shout, "Inada! ”

"Inada!"

The wind and sand roared, and the yurt behind the boy was crumbling, and he could hardly hear anything, see nothing, except for the sharp and terrible sound of the wind that poured into his ears, and even the neighing of the horses and the sheep.

If the boy could see what he saw before him, he would know that farther ahead, the yellow sand was twisting up from the ground and converging into a huge tornado, and it was rapidly approaching the only yurt in this bare and desolate place, and the incomparably small figure of the boy beside the yurt.

Yet unconscious, he just curled up in place, stubbornly uttering a faint cry: "Inada." ”

He didn't notice that his voice was blocked and hoarse because of the excessive yellow sand in his throat, because he couldn't even hear his own voice well, only the roar in his ears was increasing, and it was because Huang Sharonjuan was getting closer.

His throat had dried to the point where it was difficult to swallow, and the young man hugged his head and face tightly with his arms, as if he was going to suffocate in the next moment, but for a moment, he thought to himself: What about Inada?

Did she know that the storm was getting worse on her side of the house? Has she caught up with the sheep and is safe? Why didn't she take me along? Maybe, maybe...... She's not coming back, is she......

Maybe she didn't want to stay here at all in the first place.

The boy shrank lower and lower in almost despair, leaning against the yurt, and staggered together. It seemed that tears appeared from the corners of the young man's eyes, but in the blink of an eye, they were dried by the yellow sand, and the young man himself did not notice it.

Just when he was so lost that he almost gave up trying to survive, he only heard "Bang!" in his ears. A sharp horsewhip sounded on the ground, and the young man was in good spirits for a while, and then he saw a hand stretched out in the yellow sand. The young man grabbed the hand, the two had a tacit understanding at the same time, the young man kicked over and turned on the horse, and the person who came to save him clamped the horse's belly hard, and the horse desperately spread its hooves, rolling Huang Sharon behind him.

After gradually leaving the place where the yellow sand storm was raging, Inada relaxed the reins and handed a sheepskin kettle from the front, and the young man took it without saying a word and poured it into his mouth, and Inada grabbed his wrist: "Rinse your mouth first!" Are you going to eat sand? ”

The young man obediently rinsed his mouth, poured two mouthfuls of water, and when he came back to his senses, he found that the water in the kettle had been exhausted by him, so he asked very embarrassedly: "...... You still have water, right? ”

"Nope." Inada replied mercilessly: "If this is an army march, or a tribal migration, or a companion who has encountered an accident before, your behavior will undoubtedly attract the resentment of others." Don't think about your companions, don't say drink water next time, maybe no one will save you at all. ”

"But ......," the boy whispered, "my companion is you, and you will not fail to save me, nor will you not give me water to drink." ”

Inada said calmly, almost indifferently, "Will we ever be together?" Sooner or later, you'll have to go back to the tribe. ”

"Then I'll go back with you."

The horses, which had just escaped death, walked wearily, their heads hanging low. After a moment of silence, Inada, who was also tired, suddenly asked, "What is your father's purpose in giving you the name Tunguska?" ”

Tunguska was stunned for a moment before he replied in a low voice: "This is the name of the legendary giant eagle." ”

"Do you know what a giant eagle is?" Inada continued: "The legendary giant eagle of ancient times can cover the sky and the sun with its wings outstretched, and when it flies, all living beings will see it soaring, and even the dragon of the east will avoid the sharp edge of its claws. ”

"It's just a legend......" Tunguska muttered unconvinced, "where in the world is there such a big eagle?" ”

"You haven't seen it, haven't you?" Inada laughed at him: "You really don't have any heroic energy!" ”

Tunguska pursed his lips and said nothing, then moved closer and rested his head on Inada's back.

"Don't lean on me."

"Inada, Inada," Tunguska whispered, "why did they drive you away?" ”

Or silence.

"Why are they laughing at you? Why do you say you're mine......" Tunguska's face flushed a little as he said this: "Ran? ”

It was not originally a word for the Donghu people, but was passed down from a foreign tribe, which originally meant a wife, but when it came to the Donghu people, it referred to those women whose mothers married their sons after their fathers died.

"I think you've been too idle lately!" Inada said impatiently: "How is the martial arts practice?" Can you beat me? ”

"If you don't tell me, I won't practice."

Inada pulled the reins, turned over and dismounted, pointed in a certain direction, and said, "Okay, then you can get out!" ”

Tunguska sat on the horse's back, his hands gripping the saddle tightly: "I know you're not a Yan, you don't have that kind of relationship with my Abba, but why don't you defend yourself?" Why are you holding back and being chased around by them? His voice suddenly rose: "Didn't you save the tribe in the Yellow Storm several times, didn't you command the leader to unify the five tribes!" You are more capable than those men, those gossip-talking women with long tongues, why don't they respect you?! ”

Inada looked at him, with those eyes that had not changed for many years, with eyes that had not changed for many years, full of complex emotions.

"Just because you're not from the tribe?" Tunguska's arrogance weakened, and he asked helplessly: "Just because you are a foreigner?" ”

"Don't ask any more," Inada turned and took the reins, "When you grow up and learn a skill, go back to your father." ”

"I don't have a baby, I don't have a grandmother, I only have you." Tunguska stubbornly said: "I will not go anywhere, I will follow you all my life." ”

This time, Inada didn't scold him for being a worthless lamb, but turned her head very helplessly and said half-truthfully, "You want me to take care of you for the rest of your life?" Dream on. ”

Tunguska jumped off his horse and snatched the reins from her hand, saying, "I won't let you take care of it for long, I can take care of you now." I'll grow up soon, really, when I'm bigger," said the boy with great seriousness, "we can go anywhere, and I can protect you and take care of you." ”

At that time, Inada just smiled and did not speak.

This woman, who seemed to never grow old, this young woman who was like a maiden, but who acted unusually old, snatched him from the altar in full view of everyone, and said to his own father, "I will raise him." The woman has been with him for more than five years.

Tunguska was considered by the elders of the clan to be a child who would bring disaster to the tribe, and before he became an adult, he would bring disaster to the tribe, as evidenced by the constant Yellow Sand Storm.

So his father, under tribal pressure, handed over his son to the chief, and Tunguska was also a tall boy at that time, but he did not realize the seriousness of the matter, and it was not until he was pushed to the sacrificial platform that he did not see the sacrificial lamb and calf for a long time, and he cried out for help in horror.

But only Inada, who was excluded from the tribe, came on horseback at this time and saved him.

This is very strange, people revere her strength, but inexplicably exclude her, and squeeze her out. Inada, on the other hand, would not leave the tribe completely, and would return to the tribe if something needed her help, and the tribe would provide her with cattle, sheep, horses, and food so that she could survive.

Inada has always been a mysterious, yet reliable and gentle being.

So he didn't expect at all that after he grew up as an adult, he would reach such a situation with Ina.

Tunguska was steaming all over, his arms with his sleeves rolled up were muscular, strong and powerful, he sat on horseback, even after a long time of driving and tracking, he did not feel tired, and shouted: "Inada! ”

The horses that fell to the ground neighed, and Inada was lame by his slash, and fell off the horse in embarrassment, rolling off the sand.

"I have come to take your life on the orders of the chief," Tunguska said condescendingly, "and since you have been wounded, I will give you five moves." ”

He paused, then added with a cruel smile, "Don't you always ask if I can defeat you?" Today I can finally make a real deal with you, without your deliberate concessions and no other expectations. You win, I die, or I win, you die. ”

"Of course, there is a third option besides these." Tunguska said, "You just told me everything about Gala. I'll let you go. ”

Inada shook her head.

"Can't you say that?" Tunguska asked: "Even if he has been expelled by the tribe for many years, even if he has reached this point, he will not say a word?" ”

Inada said softly, "You won't understand. That's not something you should know. I didn't care about being evicted at all, because I was also a man who had been uprooted for many years. ”

Tunguska's throat was sour, and his throat rolled for a moment before he asked in a low voice, "Don't you care about me?" ”

Inada shook her head again.

This action suddenly aroused Tunguska's grief and unwillingness, and when the knife in his hand was raised, Inada only looked at him and said the last sentence calmly: "This leader has been fooled and confused by the surname Jiang, choose a sober young man to be loyal, he will become the new leader." ”

At that time, his unwilling anger even covered up his sadness, so he didn't have the heart to think about who the "surname Jiang" in Inada's mouth was.

He didn't know that the leader's extermination of Inada began with the arrival of a foreigner surnamed Jiang.

When I remembered that day, it was actually just a young man's rebellion, and when Tunguska became an adult, he was sent back to the tribe by Inada without turning back, so he gave birth to a heart of rebellion and revenge.

In fact, his real psychology that day was to save her.
