The male wolf standing on the high place began to howl, presumably giving orders, and the other wild wolves followed suit, but did not move. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Several children were surrounded by wolves, and two of the younger children cried out in fright, and the leader directed the horses to form a circle with their heads facing outward, comforting the others, and reaching out to take the wolf cubs. Zhao Chengping wanted to ride a horse to get close quickly, but he found that the horse he was riding was afraid of the existence of the wild wolves, and he slowly approached after whipping hard, thinking that there was no good way, if the wolves besieged him, he could only fight hard.

When the children saw Zhao Chengping drawing a knife and approaching, they felt a little like grasping a life-saving straw in their hearts. Zhao Chengping didn't care whether they could understand the Central Plains dialect or not, and shouted loudly: "The wolves are afraid that you will hurt the cubs, so you grab the cubs and withdraw from the encirclement, testing whether they will attack." Whether the leading child understood Zhao Chengping's words or not, he also seemed to be prepared, and shouted at several other people to slowly withdraw from the encirclement in a circular way and approach Zhao Chengping.

Taking advantage of the children's negligence, the male wolf flew to the child who took the lead. When the child in the lead saw the wolf pounce on him, he immediately pulled the reins in his hand and kept the horse upright on its front legs, narrowly avoiding it. Seeing that the attack was ineffective, the head wolf roared and commanded the wolves to expand the encirclement, and still loosely surrounded a group of people. Zhao Chengping raised the knife in his hand and said to the leading child: "After I catch the wolf cub and break it, you leave slowly." The leading child turned around and said a few words to the other people, and he stayed still, and the other people obeyed the order and slowly retreated.

"Give me the wolf cubs, and you can go. Zhao Chengping said to the children who stayed.

"No, I'm not afraid of wolves at all, I'm just afraid of other people. The leading child replied in fluent Central Plains.

"Okay! Let's retreat together, the wolves haven't attacked, probably for fear that we will hurt the wolf cubs. When we're out a few miles away, not afraid of wasting horsepower, we'll give the wolf cubs back to them. Zhao Chengping pulled the horse back and said. The leading child didn't say much, and retreated and left with Zhao Chengping, while the wolves were also surrounded in a semicircle, and they followed not far away.

Zhao Chengping and the child who took the lead could not ride their horses, and they joined the other children who had retreated first a few miles away, and put the wolf cubs on a dirt slope, only to see the head wolf leading the wolves to roar and leave with the wolf cubs in their mouths.

The child who took the lead saw that the danger was lifted, and then said to Zhao Chengping a little shyly: "Thank you for this uncle's help, if it weren't for you being so calm, a few of us would be impatient, I'm afraid something would happen." The wolves are nothing to be afraid of, but if something happens, it's hard to explain to the other adults. By the way, what is your last name?"

Zhao Chengping actually didn't listen carefully to what the leader said, after the danger was lifted, he had been inadvertently observing the leader child, and it could be concluded that this was a Central Plains child, and the children on the Beiban grassland were different in many places. He was thinking to himself, maybe this was the person the master sent me to find, and the hope of becoming an official disciple and being promoted and reused in the gang was rekindled in his heart;

Zhao Chengping came back to his senses, snorted, and said: "I also came all the way because I was curious about the wild wolves, and it was just an accident, you don't have to thank me! ”

When the child who took the lead heard that the people were going to make friends with everyone, he immediately felt that the group had become adults, and he was very happy, and took the initiative to say: "My name is Azule, and I will soon be twelve years old, and according to the rules of the grassland, I will soon become an adult, and we are very happy to be friends with you." In a moment, please come to my house to drink wine and eat meat, and now the mutton is very delicious when it is fat, and my grandfather must be very happy. Azul then pointed to the others and introduced their names.

After returning to the tribe, Azule and Zhao Chengping separated from the other children and walked straight to Azule's tent. "Grandpa, grandpa, I made a friend today, and I brought him here to drink wine and eat meat. Azul shouted from afar into the tent.

An old herdsman with white hair and a brown face opened the door curtain, and a hearty laugh came to his face, only to hear the old man say loudly: "My family Azule has made a new friend today, congratulations, please come in and drink, a fat sheep is already on the grill, hehehe."

Zhao Chengping hurriedly dismounted, walked a few steps quickly, and said with the old man's outstretched arm: "The old man is too polite, too polite, today Azule took me to appreciate the customs and beautiful scenery of the grassland, I am very grateful, and I want to disturb the wine and food, I really don't want to go." ”

The old man was also very happy to see that Zhao Chengping was enthusiastic and direct, sincere and simple, hearty and generous, and had already pulled the guests into the tent. The old man said, "If you don't see outside, you're welcome! I'll be Asuwaji, the name on the grassland is more difficult to call and remember, you can just call me uncle, or Uncle Waji, come on, please take a seat." ”

The furnishings in the tent are typical of herdsmen's houses on the Beiban grassland, which are not luxurious, but they are complete and have both objects. Azule took out a jar of wine from the cabinet, and when Asouwaji sat down first, Zhao Chengping simply sat down and thanked him. Asuwaji asked Asule to cut off the lamb neck and give it to Zhao Chengping in accordance with the custom of hospitality on the grassland, showing the gift of hospitality. Zhao Chengping got up to thank him, picked up the wine glass, dipped a little wine with his index finger, sprinkled a few drops in the three directions of up and left and right, as a sign of respect, raised his neck and drank the wine, and did not forget to praise a few words of good wine.

Seeing that Zhao Chengping was very good at practicing the etiquette of the grassland, Asuwaji was very respectful of himself, and his speech was also very speculative, and he gradually chatted back and forth, from the trade, migration, people, customs and characters on the grassland, etc., and even talked about wild wolves and wild horses, Asule also interjected a few words from time to time next to him.

Zhao Chengping saw that the conversation was almost over, and when Azule walked away, he found an opportunity to say to Asuwaji: "Uncle Waji, I think that although Azule is small, he is the leader of everyone with a group of children, and the children older than him are all under his command, this is your good upbringing! You work so hard to take care of children alone, what about Azule's parents?"

Hearing Zhao Chengping mention this, Asuwaji paused for a while, sighed, and said as if he had made a decision: "Brother, we talked about it quite well today, and I won't hide it from you, and maybe I will ask you for help." Here's the thing, for more than ten years, I've been looking for Asure's parents, but I haven't found it, and there are no effective clues, so I haven't dragged it out if I can't say it clearly, and I didn't dare to explain the matter clearly to Azule. ”

Asuwaji's calm words caused an uproar in Zhao Chengping's heart.
