Chapter 133: The Wise Man Among Wolves - Embarrassment
He said that he had also heard the legend of the Donghu people, and according to legend, their civilization originated in the Xing'an Mountains, and the Donghu people admired cave dwelling and practiced tree burial. It is likely that when the cave was being dug and built, he inadvertently opened this secret passage leading to the eye of the Xing'an Mountains, thus peeking into the secret of the so-called Extremely Cold Yin Spring.
"Second Grandpa, do you say that this Extremely Cold Yin Spring has any connection with the mysterious crack in the belly of Yilkuri Mountain?" Wushuang asked.
"Naturally, there is, because they are at the same latitude, and my master heard the ancestor Yin Yang Xuandao say that there may be an endless sea hidden under the cracks of the Xing'an Mountains, which is very consistent with the extremely cold yin spring in the legend of the Donghu people. ”
Ma Ya asked, "Grandpa, what is the Endless Sea?"
"I don't know, the endless sea is naturally endless, right? Didn't Little Japan and Russia fight for this secret at the beginning? That's not simple, I still say the same thing, Xiao Ye can stay away from it as much as possible without touching it, that's the entrance to hell. ”
The sky has dawned, for Wushuang and the Ma family, now is a happy ending, the mountain ghost and the Donghu female corpse king have all been eliminated, and Ma Sihai has also used special means to continue his life, and it is not considered a thief, so naturally he will not be punished by God and his descendants.
The young and old of Majiatun still have to live, and life is still as usual, the hunters go into the mountains to hunt, the dealers carry mountain goods and leather goods to the town to sell, the women do laundry and cook at home, and the children gather around the big trees in the east of the village to play hide and seek.
It seems that the tranquility of the past has been restored, but the herdsmen on the Hulunbuir prairie, hundreds of miles away, do not have such a happy life. Batches of Russian snow-capped wolves raided the herdsmen's stronghold last night, killing and injuring the livestock, and the herdsmen were also bitten a few, but fortunately, there was no danger to their lives.
"By the way, second grandfather, there is something I want to ask you, Battle said that Hulunbuir is starting to have a wolf plague now, do you think there is any way to help them?" Wushuang was hungry, and while nibbling on the bud rice noodle cake, he held the green onion and dipped the sauce into his mouth. Ma Ya was afraid that her lover would be hungry, so she poured her own rice into his bowl.
"I've heard about this in the last few days, but I can't take care of myself when I'm not feeling well. But I still can't go this time. Ma Sihai said with a smile, deliberately saying that the appetite of a few children would be hung at a critical moment.
"Grandpa, you can't die without help, Big Brother Battle is very good, and he is a descendant of our thieves, I know you have a way, you can help them." "Ma Ya is kind and considerate of others everywhere.
"Ya'er, don't interrupt your grandfather, he must have a reason not to go. Wushuang said.
"Huh...... It's still a smart master, in fact, I've seen Battle, the Dongmeng Horse Gang used to be under our stealing door, but after liberation, it gradually became estranged, not that we alienated them, but that they were afraid of being implicated by our theft and deliberately did not associate with us. It can be seen that they are disloyal! The wolf disaster is not to worry about, but the master is now the time to employ people, and there is no need for me to go in person, just give you a clever plan, and the master can sell personal favors to them, so that the Dongmeng Horse Gang will be grateful to you, and in the future, the East Meng's Xing'an Mountains will have the care of the Dongmeng Horse Gang, and you will be like walking on the ground, and no one dares to touch a single hair of you!"
"I didn't think about it that much, if I could really help the herders on the grassland to expel the wolves, it would be a good deed. Second grandfather, don't play dumb riddles, is there any way to tell me quickly. ”
Ma Sihai said: "Master needs to know that everything in the world, every species has its definition of survival. Why has the wolf survived in nature for so many years without becoming extinct? Because it is a social animal that cooperates with each other in every ambush. You see, they are not the biggest, they are not the strongest, and their claws are not the sharpest. But even if you encounter a tiger in the mountains, you can attack it in groups. ”
"Grandpa, have you said that you still haven't said a way to deal with the snow mountain wolf?" Ma Ya urged.
"Dead girl, you are still my granddaughter, the master shouldn't ask me directly about this, don't you know how to deal with the wolves?"
Ma Ya shook her head, and the big black braid behind her head swayed back and forth.
Ma Sihai patted her forehead with pity and said, "As the saying goes, shoot people first and shoot horses, and capture thieves first and capture kings." The reason why the wolves are united is because there is a wolf who gives orders. You're either going to be divided or you're going to shoot. As soon as the head wolf died, the wolves broke themselves. ”
"Second grandfather, how can you determine which one is the wolf king?
Ma Sihai shook his head, took a mouthful of food and put it on the Wushuang plate, and took another sip of wine, he said: "I crossed the border a few years ago to go to the Russian snow-capped mountains to pick snow lotus, and I saw a very special species in the uninhabited snow-capped mountains. ”
"That animal looks like a wolf? That's a dog. Lu Haotian agreed.
Nowadays, everyone who has gone to school knows the meaning of this idiom, but they don't know what the embarrassment in the idiom is. In fact, as early as the Republic of China, you can occasionally see traces of the embarrassment in the wild, but in recent years, the trees and forests have become fewer and fewer, and the legs and feet of the embarrassment are not flexible, so a large number of people are killed and killed, almost extinct. Ma Sihai said.
The earliest record of the "embarrassment" came from, but despite this, no one had succeeded in capturing the embarrassment alive at that time, and it was speculated that it was an embarrassment based on its appearance. Until the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, a wolf hunt in the northeast region caught a "caraver", but later found out that it was only a female wolf who was caught by a beast and broke its front legs. It was his partner who carried the "embarrassment" on his back, and as a result, the male wolf gave up the opportunity to escape at that time to protect the "embarrassment" until it was hunted.
The explanation of the word "狈" is: "狈, the name of the beast, the wolf genus." Those who give birth to children or owe one-legged two-legged children. Walk with each other, and leave is upside down. This explanation is more scientific: first, it is not a legendary beast, but it exists in nature, and second, it is a deformed offspring born of a wolf, one or both legs are underdeveloped, and they have to lie on the body of a healthy wolf when they walk. As soon as the wolf leaves, it will fall. Li Shizhen said when talking about "embarrassment": "The front of the embarrassment is short, and you can know where the food is."
