Section IV
A gunshot rang out, and when the three of them were very close to the wooden house, a shot suddenly rang out in the wooden house. The legs of the three people were weak and they knelt on the snow, and Chino realized in a trance that it was over. At this point he wanted to pee. At this moment, the door of the wooden house squeaked open again, and an old man surrounded by animal skins, holding a shotgun in his hand, stood in front of the door, and there was a wisp of light blue smoke floating in the barrel of the gun. The black dog squeezed out from behind the old man and roared at the three of them, and the black fur on his body stood upside down. The old man shouted, the black dog turned his head to look at the old man's face, the old man's face did not change at all, the black dog howled excitedly, kicked his hind legs and was about to pounce on the three people kneeling on the snow. The old man put a finger in his mouth and let out a sharp whistling, and the black dog's body in mid-air suddenly changed direction and landed on the snow beside the three people.
The old man burst out laughing aloud, his beard fluttering in the wind. The three kneeling men were stunned by the sudden laughter in front of them and looked up at the old man in front of them. The old man laughed, and then spoke loudly. The three people couldn't understand the old man's words, and still knelt there in a daze, the old man stood by the door with his shotgun, turned his head and said something to the wooden house, and then strode towards the three people, the old man's broad waist swayed, and the snow under his feet was happily **. The old man walked up to the three men and suddenly opened his arms as if to hug them. The three of them were still puzzled, and collapsed on the snow, looking at the old man in a daze. When the old man saw that the three of them were not moving, he withdrew his arms, put a pair of hands on Kawaxiong's shoulders, and with only a slight lift, Kawaxiong's body stood up. When the old man walked towards Noo and Chino again, the two of them finally understood the old man's intentions and got up from the snow. When the three of them stood up, they found that there was already a man and two women standing behind the old man. The girl they saw on the top of the hill was looking curiously at the three of them.
Zhiye made an inexplicable ** sound in his throat, sat on the snow with weak legs, and couldn't stand up anymore, the old man bent down with a smile, stretched out one arm, and easily sandwiched Zhiye under his ribs, and with the other hand, he pulled the two people and pushed them towards the wooden house.
The three of them walked into the hut and saw that the walls were covered with hides of all kinds. The wooden house is divided into two rooms, inside and outside, and the fire kang is burned so hot that it bakes people's faces, and with this heat, a unique smell of the wooden house also comes to the face.
The old man first put Chino on the hot kang, and then took off the fur shoes that Chino wore on his feet. Then the old man Okikawa and Noo made a gesture, and the two of them understood the old man's intentions, but they didn't dare to disobey, took off their shoes and half-knelt on the fire pit. The three of them looked at the old man in confusion, at the wooden house covered with animal skins. The old man looked at the faces of the three men, brushed his beard and smiled again, then turned and walked outside.
The three of them listened to the sound of the conversation coming from outside, one moment the old man spoke, and the other time it was another man's voice, and there was a woman's soft voice in between. The three of them couldn't understand a word of those words, and the three of them had been in China for two years, and they could understand some Chinese, but they had never heard such a language. Waves of heat emanated from the kang, which warmed the bodies of the three people, and after a while, the irresistible warmth crawled from under the buttocks to the whole body. This warmth made the three of them lose all their strength at all. The brain is heavy, tired, lazy, and the mind seems to be frozen. After a while, my eyelids couldn't open. The three of them fell crooked on the kang, and when they were about to fall asleep, they thought of death together, and this thought only flashed in their minds, and then they were squeezed by the great fatigue and only a thin wisp was left in their minds, and then disappeared. The three of them leaned together and fell into a groggy sleep.
This mountain is the home of the Oroqen people. The Oroqen people live in the mountains all year round and make a living by hunting. The old man's name is Ge Suan, and it has been two years since he came to Yeonling with his daughter, son, and daughter-in-law. In the past, the old man did not live here, but lived in the mountains of the Great Khing'an Mountains, where there were dozens of Oroqen families. Ge was stunned and fled to the Wild Green Ridge one night two years ago.
Two years ago, the Getun family lived together like other Oroqen people and lived a peaceful hunting life. The change in life is that after the son Gemu married Taya, the son married Taya and did not have children for a long time. According to the custom of the Oroqen people, marrying a wife and not being able to have children is an offense to the mountain gods, and such a woman will be driven out of the house. Ge was stunned and knew that Taya was not to blame for all this. At the age of thirteen, Gemu encountered wolves while hunting with Gemu, and Gemu's lower body was bitten off by a ferocious white-faced wolf. Before marriage, Ge was stunned to hide these for the sake of self-esteem. After Taya got married, the days were peaceful at first, but after a long time, Taya still couldn't have children. The clansmen began to persuade Ge to stop Taya. Ge was stunned and didn't say anything, and sighed incessantly. Later, when Taya walked in front of people again, the people inevitably began to talk nonsense, and from then on, Taya never showed up in front of people again, hiding at home and crying.
The clansmen were very angry when they saw that Ge and his family were still fighting to get rid of Taya, all of this was insulting to the clan. Every evening, the indignant tribesmen cut off the heads of the hunted beasts and threw them in the courtyard of the Ge Tu family, which was the greatest contempt for the Oroqen people. Gemu cried, and in front of Ge Stunned, he smashed his lower body at once. Ge looked at his son who was in pain, and sighed, he endured it. The whole family endured it.
The Oroqen hunting is a collective action, and the men shout at each other and come to the mountains together. When the Oroqen people went hunting again, they only left behind Ge Tu and Ge Mu. When the two men found out about all this, they realized that they couldn't stay any longer. One night, they burned down their wooden house and fled to the Wild Green Ridge.
The Ge family fled to the Wild Green Ridge and could no longer walk. That night, they perched in the woods. That very night they were attacked by a herd of wild boars. In the fight between the family and the wild boar, Ge's stunned wife was bitten to death by the wild boar. Ge Su buried his wife on the back hillside, and built two wooden houses in the recess. Although they were attacked by wild boars, it proved that there was prey here, and the place where there was prey was the home of the Oroqen people. Since then, the Ge family has survived in the recess of the wild green ridge.
Separated from the people. Escaping the shame, the family lived in Yeonling for two years. Ge's wife died and was buried here, and they never wanted to leave here. But one thing that made the Ge family uneasy was that their daughter Binjia was eighteen years old. Eighteen years old is already the age of marriage. There are no people in the wild mountains for hundreds of miles, where to find a man? For the sake of his daughter, Gege is old. He can't stand his son anymore, and he can't be sorry for his daughter anymore.
This morning, they saw three people walking on the snowy ridge from a distance. A kind of closeness and impulse to human beings made Ge stunned to welcome the arrival of three people with the highest etiquette of the Oroqen people to welcome guests - firing guns.
The family sat on the hides and looked at each other. They knew from the outfits of the three people that the three people were not Oroqen, which somewhat disappointed them.
"They're lost." Gemu said.
"They must have come from far away." Taya said.
"Is there anyone far away?" Binga asked.
Ge was stunned with his hand twisting the beard on his chest, and his eyes looked through the crack in the door from time to time at the three people sleeping on the kang. The old man finally said, "The guests will not leave when they come, so welcome them." ”
When the three of them woke up, the house was already filled with all kinds of roasted birds and animals. The sumptuous meal was served hot in front of the three of them. Gemu brought a wooden barrel of self-brewed hawthorn wine from outside, and poured a large wooden bowl in front of everyone's eyes. The hawthorn wine is so red that it can illuminate a person's face. The old man picked up the wine bowl, drank it all, and lit the empty bowl for the three people. The three of them didn't understand, and looked at everything in front of them in a daze. The old man said something loudly, and Gemu picked up the wine bowl for everyone, and the three of them realized that the old man was letting himself drink. They didn't understand that the family didn't kill them and let them drink, they didn't want to drink, but they didn't dare not drink, so they hesitated to pick up the wine bowl, learned to be stunned, and drank the wine in one go. A bowl of sandalwood wine fell into the stomach, and the minds of the three people who were not yet clear were even more dizzy. By this time it was already dark, and the fire in the hearth shone on several people, and the three of them were so hungry that they could not tell what was in front of them, so they devoured them.
Gemu poured wine into everyone's bowl again.
When the three of them finished the third bowl of wine, they found that their stomachs could no longer hold any food. Only then did they take a closer look at what was on the table, and the tender food exuded an enticing taste. At this time, the fire in the wind and snow appeared in front of them again, and Shiro was grilling in the fire, and the smell was so tempting...... Chino wailed first. Twisted his head and spit out. Kawao and Noo couldn't help but vomit as well. The three of them vomited one after another, and they couldn't wait to vomit out all the contents of their stomachs. After the three of them vomited, they no longer had the strength to sit up, so they lay on the ground and whimpered and cried.
"Apricot Wow—" Kawao shouted as he cried.
Three people were drunk. Nofu turned his face and said loudly to the Ge Tu family, "Kill us, we are Japanese—" He saw Ge Tu smiling kindly at him.
At some point, the three of them fell asleep again. When the three of them woke up, they found themselves lying on a warm kang with animal skins on their bodies, and it was already dawn.
