Chapter 4: The Hound Tribe
Cabinet Hill
Rat Xu looked at the small mountain village at the foot of the mountain, "Mother, wait for me to come back!"
"Kid is good! what courage!" the mountain god hovered behind Rat Xu, "Sometimes your human emotions are really incomprehensible!"
"Don't you have any relatives?"
"Yes, but it's been a long, long time, and I don't remember what they looked like!"
"That's it!" Rat Xu clenched the bronze spear in his hand, "Anyway, thank you Lord Yamagami for telling me about the fish, I'm leaving!"
"Wait a minute!" the mountain god called to Rat Xu, and then took out a wild grass with green flowers, the weeds grew like leeks, and handed it to Rat Xu, "This grass is called Zhu Yu, I picked it on Queshan Mountain, eating it can make you not have to worry about hunger for half a month, I originally planned to plant it on the cabinet mountain, but I tried several times, all failed! I think there should be something special about Queshan! Now there are only so many left! You take it!"
"How can I accept such a precious thing easily!" Long Xu pushed. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Precious is only relative, for us gods, there is no need to worry about food, my original idea was to benefit the villagers under my protection, but now it seems impossible!
Only then did Rat Xu take over Zhu Yu, "Thank you, Lord Mountain God!" The mountain god has repeatedly helped Rat Xu, and Rat Xu doesn't know how to repay him!"
"Hahaha" the mountain god smiled and said, "I told you everything, I am the mountain god, I don't need your repayment!
"Yes" Rat Xu bowed to the mountain god, then turned and walked west. Seeing Rat Xu start to move forward, the mountain god shook his body and disappeared.
Between the mountains, there are many divergent roads, the road is rugged, everywhere there is no place where humans have arrived, full of primitive taste, Rat Xu grew up in the mountains since he was a child, so it seems easy to walk in this environment, along the way the mountain road winds, the big river crosses.
Seven days later, Rat Xu once again encountered a big river, this was different from the previous encounter, this time the big river blocked Rat Xu's way horizontally, and as far as the eye could see, there was no source or end in sight.
"What can I do!" Rat Xu looked at the big river in front of him worriedly, thought for a while, inserted the bronze spear into the water, found that it was not very deep, and then began to step in.
"Hey, young man, what are you doing?" a sudden voice startled Rat Xu and quickly retreated. Looking back, several people who were also dressed in animal skins, of various colors, and with teeth around their necks, walked over, and the older one of them first said, "Who are you? Where are you? Why do you want to die?"
"I'm a member of the Rat Totem tribe, my name is Rat Xu, I'm not looking for death! Rat Xu explained.
"Didn't seek death? What did you just want to do if you didn't seek death? That river, even the best hunters in our village, are not sure to swim over, you young man seems to have never swam through the water, you actually want to swim through, what is not seeking death?"
"Who are you?"
"We?" the man grinned, picked up the teeth on his neck and said, "See, these are the teeth of a hound! We are from the Hound's Totem Tribe! My name is Inuki, I just heard you say that you are from the Rat Totem Tribe, and the Rat Totem Tribe is three hundred miles away from us, how did you come here?"
"Come here!" replied Rat Xu, "may I ask you any way to cross this river, I am going to find medicine for my mother!"
"Huh?" Inugi said suspiciously, "Looking for medicine, go west from the Rat Totem Tribe to find medicine, if you don't guess wrong, you should go to Zheshan to find a bird!"
Rat Xu was taken aback: "How do you know?"
"Hehe," Inugi smiled, "I didn't expect the rat poison guy to still not hold back!
"Do you know Uncle Yao?"
"Of course I know, we all came back together from the battle for the deer, and we can be regarded as comrades-in-arms, how can we forget! Boy, let's go, go back to the village with us first, it's not early now, tomorrow I'll have someone make you a raft and send you over." ”
"Really, really?"
"Of course it's true!" Inugi smiled, "I persuaded Rat Poison to send someone to find a fish earlier, but he was afraid that the people who went would be in danger, and if he went by himself, the people in your village would not be able to do without him, so in the end he had to give up, and now that he has started to send people, as a former comrade-in-arms, of course I have to help him!"
"Thank you, Uncle Inuki!"
Then, Rat Xu followed Inugi towards the Hound Totem Tribe.
Following a few people from Inuki, a few turns, I came to a village, which is different from the rat totem tribe, where there are some white jade hanging everywhere, which is particularly beautiful.
Looking at Long Xu's gaze, Inuki explained, "It was picked up from that big river, every time I go out fishing, I will bring back some beautiful things and bring them back unconsciously, so much will be brought back, it can be regarded as a gift from the big river!"
Then, Inugi separated from a few people and took Rat Xu to his home, where there was a hunting dog head made of weeds and branches, which looked particularly powerful.
Inuki looked at Rat Xu's curiosity about the family and smiled, "Inu girl, make a big bowl of fish soup for the guests!" and then said to Rat Xu, "I've been gone for so many days, I must have not had a good meal, right?" Since you came to us today, let's have a good meal, and I'll be ready to leave tomorrow." ”
"Then thank you, Uncle Inuki!"
"Hey, thank you!" Inuki laughed, "Everyone is under the leadership of the Yellow Emperor, everyone is a family, not to mention that I also suffered the favor of your rat totem tribe at the beginning, so there is nothing to thank or thank!
"I haven't seen my father, he died in the battle for the deer, but I heard Uncle Yao say that my father's name is Rat Yo! ”
"Huh?" Inugi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "It turns out to be the son of Brother Rat! No wonder Rat Poison is willing to send you out!"
"Do you know my father?"
"Of course I know!" Inugi said with a smile, "Brother Rat Yo was really brave at the beginning! At that time, no one could hurt Brother Rat Yo in the battle, but unfortunately, later that bastard Chi You used witchcraft, Brother Rat Yo bought time for a dozen of us in order to drag the enemy down, maybe he wouldn't die! Brother Rat Yo may not be a good father, but there are some things that have to be done!"
"I don't know what kind of person my father is, and I don't blame him, although my mother raised me alone, but when the family is in trouble, my uncle and Uncle Yao will definitely help, so my mother is not very difficult, no matter what good things he has before, it has nothing to do with me, I am only worried about my mother, so I will come out to help my mother find medicine!"
"This may be the best!" Inugi patted Rat Xu on the shoulder, and at this time, the Inu girl brought over a bowl of fish soup, Inugi took it and handed it to Rat Xu, "Hurry up and eat! You must be hungry! After eating for a while, go to sleep there! I'll help you find the person who will build the raft tomorrow." ”
"Well, thank you uncle!" After saying that, Inugi got up and went out, and after eating the fish soup, Rat Xu came to the window and lay down. The night is getting deeper and deeper, but Rat Xu can't sleep at all, the first time he is so far away from home, he misses it very much, there is nothing a few days ago, but when he enters someone else's house, the feeling of homesickness is overflowing, and his mother doesn't have to worry very much, after all, Uncle Yao and Uncle will definitely take care of his mother, thinking about it, Rat Xu fell asleep. The bright moonlight sprinkled on Rat Xu's face through the windowsill, and everything seemed so harmonious and stable.
Early in the morning, Rat Xu was woken up by the barking of a hunting dog raised by Inuki's family, but found that the sun had risen high, got up from the ground, walked out of the house, and saw the dog girl drying some dried fish, so he asked, "Auntie, where did the uncle go?"
When the dog girl saw Rat Xu, she smiled and said, "Rat Xu is awake! Inuki and he took a few people to build a raft for you, and now he should be in the big river! You rest for a while, and I'll make you some fish soup!"
"No, I'll go and see if Uncle needs help!" After saying that, Rat Xu hurriedly took his things and ran out.
"This kid is really shy!"
"Whew" Rat Xu took a breath, the dog girl was so hospitable, he really couldn't stand it, and then walked to the river according to yesterday's memory, and after walking a short distance, he heard the sound of shouting a trumpet in front of him, and Rat Xu hurriedly walked over.
Inagi and the others, who were tying rattan to the raft, saw Rat Xu coming, and Inugi put down the things in his hand, "Wake up! Seeing that you slept so soundly, I think I haven't slept well in the past few days!"
"It's not that I haven't slept well, it's just that I haven't slept so comfortably in a long time!
"Hmm. It's okay! You wait a minute, and when we tie these rattans on, we can go into the water. ”
"Then I'll help!"
"No, these are technical jobs, and if you don't tie them well, they'll fall apart if you get into the water!
Rat Xu had no choice but to give up, squatting aside and watching a few people go about their work, the sun rose little by little, and finally, after the last trumpet was shouted, the raft was ready!
Rat Xu stood up and asked, "Can you go into the water now?"
"Hmm. That's it!" Inuki replied, "Let's go, go back to the village first, and after eating, I'll have a few people send you over at noon!"
"No need!" Rat Xu bowed to Inugi and the others, "It's already a hassle for everyone!
"What's the trouble then, don't you bother! Hurry up and go back with me first. ”
"I really don't need to!" Rat Xu bowed again, "When I come back from Zheshan, let's go back to the village, now that the raft is built, I want to hurry as soon as possible!
