Chapter 285: The Temuguda Tribe
According to Gengil Khan, there was once a strong man riding the fastest horse, starting from the Batur Plain and finally circling back, and after 25 years, hundreds of horses were changed.
What is the concept of twenty-five years, this is not a hike, but horseback riding, even if you take a break or something, it took twenty-five years to go around this way, which shows that this world is not small.
Of course, there may be many places where the strongman has not walked, or maybe the path he has walked is only a small circle.
Anyway, this continent is huge.
In addition to knowing the name of this world, Liu Tianyu also knew a very important news, which was probably related to the tower gate leading to the next floor.
In the Batur Plains, the Temuguda tribe is a small tribe, with medium-sized tribes above and large tribes above. There are many small tribes, and there are many medium-sized tribes, but there is only one large tribe. Each steppe was ruled by a large tribe, also known as the royal tribe, in which the supreme ruler was commonly known as the Khan.
The royal tribe of the Batur Plains is called Babaru, and their khan's name is Mitchell Khanmo.
Khan ink is the word of the king, and only the khan can have it.
The tribe of Babalu owned a large city, and in the palace of the Khan in the big city, there was an ancient ruin, which was rumored to be the only passage to the immortal heaven in ancient times, but later, for some unknown reason, a black dragon descended from the sky, and the black dragon destroyed the ruins, and this passage was destroyed.
As for the black dragon, after destroying the ruins, it suddenly disappeared without a trace, and everyone thought that it was the royal family of that generation that angered the gods of the Immortal Heaven, and the gods were angry and descended the black dragon, destroying the entire palace and destroying the ruins.
The story is very long, Liu Tianyu listened to it with relish, the history of this world is also very exciting, and there are even many cultural histories that are very similar to the Mongolian people in China.
......
Gengil Khan is very good at talking, and along the way, in addition to nodding his head and applauding, Liu Tianyu is talking loudly, and even talking, he also expresses some of his unique views on the world.
To Liu Tianyu's shock, Gengir Khan's thinking was particularly similar to that of a great Mongolian in Chinese history. In his exact words, it was during his lifetime that the Temuguda tribe became the only royal family on the entire continent.
What a grand wish.
However, for Liu Tianyu, he is just a passerby, and he doesn't have so much time to witness the growth of a great man.
After walking for about an hour, Gengir Khan led the horse and took Liu Tianyu to a small river, which flowed from east to west, with fertile water and grass on both sides of the river, and rows of wild geese preparing to land in the sky.
Along the river, there are gray yurt-like tents on both sides, some children chase each other with bare butts, several women are shaving wool for a group of sheep, some are milking goats, and in front of several large tents, there are some strong men carrying slaughtered cattle and sheep into a huge soup pot, and a roasted golden cow and sheep hang on the side of the soup pot.
A vibrant picture that is both warm and harmonious.
On the earth, Liu Tianyu has never been to the prairie, let alone seen the life of his compatriots on the prairie, but he has always looked forward to the day when he will take his beloved to gallop on a horse in the magnificent grassland, drink wine and eat meat in the yurt.
"Haha, Brother Tianyu, welcome to our Temuguda tribe." Gengir Khan pulled his horse and stood in front of the tribe's fence gate, and said in a bold tone.
Liu Tianyu turned over and dismounted, and he was already very familiar with Gengir Khan along the way.
These Ural people (the race of the Batur Plains) are relatively simple-minded, love and hatred are written on their faces, not only that, but he is also very hospitable, especially foreign guests like Liu Tianyu, who obviously do not belong to the Ural people, in the customs of the Ural people, foreign guests will be treated with the highest treatment by the tribe.
"Chaida, this is your tribe!" Gengil Khan's milk name is Chaida, and Gengil Khan is the surname, and generally friends call each other by their milk names, if they are not friends, they are surnames plus milk names. Because the word can only be possessed by the Khan, but in order to distinguish the individual, the name of the milk is pressed at the end.
Gengil Khan Chaida is his full name.
After Liu Tianyu got off the horse, the black horse ran away like a happy man, Chengji Khan Chaida took Liu Tianyu's arm and walked into the tribe, and the surrounding clansmen saluted to Gengir Khan Chaida, as for Liu Tianyu, they saw at a glance that he was a foreigner, and the etiquette for treating foreigners was to clench his fist and beat his chest three times to show the highest respect.
In the innermost part of the tribe there were two golden tents, one large and one small, and the largest of them was the dwelling place of the chief. As for the small one, needless to say, everyone knows that it is the tent of the young patriarch of Gengil Khan Chaida.
Gengir Khan Chaida pulled Liu Tianyu into his tent, which made Liu Tianyu a little surprised, but he did not object.
Entering the tent, the interior decoration was rough and luxurious, especially the carpet laid on the ground, which turned out to be those fierce yak hides. And in the middle of the tent, there was also a pair of leather armor, as for what it was made of, Liu Tianyu couldn't see it.
On the side of the leather armor, there is a shelf, on which are placed three weapons, the top is a bone mace, very huge, the length of the light is nearly two meters, I don't know what kind of beast bones are made.
In the middle is a big knife, different from the big knife that Liu Tianyu knows, this knife has a wide back, a very short blade, and the head of the knife also has a hook-shaped blade, and the arm is neatly wrapped with something similar to cow tendon. This knife is extraordinary, cold and cold, just looking at it, it makes people's scalp tingle.
As for the third weapon, it is a large bow, a bowstring the size of a thumb, a bow body covered with gold letters, and the length of the whole bow is about one meter two.
It was very warm inside the tent, and although Liu Tianyu didn't feel too cold outside, he was never very comfortable. But when he entered the tent, Liu Tianyu felt happy all over his body, a laziness spread all over his body, stepping on the soft yak leather, and he even wanted to fall asleep.
Seeing Liu Tianyu's expression, Gengir Khan Chaida smiled, pulled Liu Tianyu down to the edge of Mita, and then sat on the main seat himself, while Liu Tianyu was arranged by him in the position of his left hand.
Mita is a low rectangular table, but there are no chairs around it, only a round futon-like cushion, and the cushions are also sewn from fur, which is very soft and comfortable to sit on.
Liu Tianyu learned to sit cross-legged with Chengjir Khan Chaida, when a beautiful woman jumped in from outside the tent.
"Brother, brother, I heard that you brought back an Angu (the name of the foreigners), let Ali take a look!" After the beauty rushed into the tent, she quickly ran to Gengir Khan Chaida's side, snuggled in his arms like a coquette, but did not see the side
Liu Tianyu.
It was a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old, dressed in a white mink edelweiss, with glittering charms around her neck and waist and wrists, a pair of big watery eyes under her curved eyebrows, a small cherry mouth under Joan's nose, red lips and white teeth.
A fragrance of flowers filled the entire space as the girl entered the tent.
"Ali, don't be rude!" In front of foreigners, it is very impolite to call someone Angu, even if Gengil Khan Chaida loves this sister again, he must correct it in time at this time, so as not to lose the face of their entire tribe.
The girl came in a hurry, grinning, but she really didn't see Liu Tianyu's existence.
"Chaida, the housesister is young and energetic, but it's cute and abnormal, as for what it's called, it doesn't matter, haha!" The girl's appearance made Liu Tianyu happy for a long time, how could he account for those things that didn't care about him.
"Haha, Brother Tianyu, open-minded!" Gengil Khan praised Liu Tianyu, then lowered his head and said to the girl: "Ali, quickly apologize to the distinguished guest!" ”
The girl stuck out her tongue, and her playful and cute appearance made Liu Tianyu feel better and better.
But the majesty of Gengir Khan Chaida, the girl did not dare to disobey.
"Brother Tianyu, Ali is reckless, may the Immortal Heaven bless you, and be blessed with Chang'an." Ali put away her playful face, bowed slightly to Liu Tianyu seriously, and said with a salute.
Liu Tianyu didn't know how to return the salute, so he simply nodded and said, "Sister Ali, you're welcome." ”
Ural people without adults have no surname, only a milk name. Ali is thirteen years old this year, and will reach the age of fourteen in another year, and will be given a surname by the patriarch through an annual memorial service.
The Urals came of age at the age of fourteen, and at the age of fifteen they were basically about to start a family.
According to Chaida, he is actually only sixteen years old, and because he is a young patriarch, he usually gets married later.
When Liu Tianyu knew Chai Da's age, he was speechless for a while. This burly, stubble-faced man looks definitely thirty years old on the outside, but he is only sixteen years old in real age, which is simply naked appearance deception.
However, when I think about it, the average age of people in this world is only about forty-five years old, and it is normal for people to reach adulthood at the age of fourteen.
"Okay, Ali, since you've met Big Brother Tianyu, you can go out and play for a while, we still have something to discuss." Chaida's face straightened, but he looked like a solemn big brother, which made Ali's big watery eyes almost covered with a layer of mist.
However, in this world, which is absolutely a world where men are superior to women, the status of women is actually very low, and even in times of war, women may not be as valuable as a cow or sheep.
Ali is the daughter of the patriarch, and her identity is much more noble than other women, coupled with Chaida's favor, she is simply the little princess of the entire tribe, and basically no one dares to bully her.
"Ann, Ann!"
Ali pursed her lips aggrievedly, first saluted Liu Tianyu, then stuck out her tongue at Chaida, and then turned around and rushed out of the tent.
Chaida took out two horn cups, filled them respectively, and then pushed one of them in front of Liu Tianyu, and he raised the horn cup and said to Liu Tianyu: "Brother Tianyu, come, let's have a drink, and wash the wind and dust for you first." ”
