Downstream, the sound of horse hooves could be heard in the wind and snow.
The people who were having a lively conversation turned their heads and looked downstream in surprise, and soon saw four horses, big and small, coming along the river beach in the wind and snow.
"Your Majesty the Witch King, wait for me!"
In the wind and snow, a clear and melodious girl's voice came.
"Wulaiga!" A hunter from the Wu tribe exclaimed.
Long and others quickly rode up to meet them, and sure enough, the little witch surrounded them soon after.
There were four horses, big and small, and not even a hunter to escort them.
Everyone could see that these were two lactating mares. The two foals were covered in snow as they ran behind them. All four horses, big and small, were panting white from their noses and mouths.
Everyone dispersed, and four horses ran in front of Xu Chen. The little witch sister jumped off the horse, almost falling, and then stumbled to Xu Chen, tugging on his skin with excitement on her face.
A belt squatted down and said breathlessly: "Your Majesty the Witch King, the witch welcomes Chiga!"
Xu Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he was full of gratitude. He helped the little witch up with both hands, looked at the girl who seemed to have lost a lot of weight, nodded seriously and said: "Thank you for your hard work, it's too dangerous for a person like this to run around outside."
Yes, I won’t allow it next time!”
"I remember Ga!"
The little witch sister nodded vigorously, but refused to let go of his belt.
Xu Chen didn't care. He turned around to exchange a few words with Feng and the others. He felt his waist tighten slightly again. He turned around and saw Ye on the other side also grabbing his leather belt, pouting and not wanting to let go.
Xu Chen couldn't laugh or cry.
Fortunately, the little witch sister, who is a big witch, understands the overall situation and is relatively mature and steady. Otherwise, he would be afraid that his belt would not be enough.
But before he could let go of this thought, he felt someone tugging on his cloak. He turned around and saw the little witch sister secretly holding his cloak, holding her scepter and lowering her head, standing silently beside him.
not talking.
Xu Chen:……
…
Xu Chen's return brought unparalleled excitement and hustle and bustle to the Ba people after a dull winter.
From the moment I saw him, the months of nervousness, worry, and longing all instantly turned into endless joy and excitement.
People cheered in front of them and cheered incessantly. From the river beach to the valley, the whole journey was full of noise and laughter.
The three girls, the twin little witches and Ye, almost followed each other's footsteps, tugging on Xu Chen's clothes and never leaving.
Feng Helong and a large group of instructors who stayed at home were all excited and asked Xu Chen what happened after leaving the Five Ghost Clan.
The remaining men all mingled with a group of returning hunters, helping to carry backpacks and cane baskets, and vying to listen to the bragging of a group of hunters.
Two faded and damaged flags fluttered in the wind and snow.
The golden horn in Gu's hand would blow every few minutes, and the melodious and deep sound penetrated the vast wind and snow and echoed in the surrounding mountains.
“It’s so good to be home!”
Entering the valley, Xu Chen couldn't help but sigh with sadness when he saw the very familiar river beach and large areas of farmland created after burning on both sides of the river, as well as the enlarged thatched courtyard at the foot of the mountain.
Only those who have traveled far away can experience the happiness and joy of returning home.
Although he had only traveled three years, he was extremely familiar with every plant, tree, brick and stone in this valley. He was even familiar with it to the core of his bones, as if his soul had lived here for several lifetimes.
Mother and a group of women, children, the elderly and the weak had already braved the wind and snow to welcome them to the middle of the valley three or four miles away from the compound.
Seeing the rolled flags and a group of men coming back talking and laughing loudly from a distance, all the women couldn't help crying with joy. They couldn't wipe the tears off their faces, and some started running towards a group of people.
The next meeting was naturally lively and sad. After calming down the emotions of Mu Ba and others, Xu Chen always felt that the number of people who came to greet him today was not enough, and it seemed that there was something missing. After taking a closer look around, he realized
, it turned out that a few of the naughtiest children were missing, so I couldn’t help but curiously asked: “Where did Pugajiaga go?”
It's okay not to ask. When Xu Chen asked, the whole scene suddenly became quiet. Everyone's eyes were averted, and the atmosphere was extremely strange.
Xu Chen couldn't help but be startled, a bad thought came to his mind, and his face with a warm smile fell silent for an instant. His throat was a little dry and he was about to speak, but Ye gently poked his waist a few times with his hand.
"They are afraid and dare not come to see you!" Ye whispered in Xu Chen's ear.
Xu Chen was stunned for a moment and turned to look at Ye with surprise: "Why? I don't eat people!"
Ye's face was a little red and he lowered his head nervously and said: "I told you not to be angry!"
"I'm not angry, tell me, what naughty thing did you do again?" Xu Chen asked as the uneasiness in his heart disappeared instantly and the smile returned to his face.
"Wolf run!" Ye whispered uneasily.
"Yes, on the day the wind returned, they were so happy that they forgot to tie the rope, and the big wolf and the second wolf ran away!" A hunter next to him also intervened to explain.
Xu Chen was stunned for a moment and turned around to look around, and found that except for a few naughty boys and two wolves, everyone was indeed there, even a group of monkeys, either squatting on horses or squatting on hunters.
I rummaged through the rattan basket behind me for something to eat.
Everyone was very nervous, fearing that Xu Chen would be angry.
But Xu Chen didn't care at all. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It's okay. Just run away. Sooner or later, they will run away to find a few children and say that I will bring gifts for everyone."
!”
"Boom..."
A few children crowded into the crowd and ran away happily. When Xu Chen walked to the courtyard surrounded by a group of people, he saw Pu and A and other children running back from the kiln in a sneaky manner, frowning.
With droopy eyes, he looked like he had done something wrong and was caught by the class teacher.
"Tell me, who let Big Wolf Er go?"
When he reached the door of his house, Xu Chen did not rush in. Instead, he stopped and looked at a few naughty little savages with a smile.
"It's him!"
"Taga!"
"Taga!"
A group of children point at each other's noses.
Xu Chen was unhappy now. He reached out and took off a riding crop and said, "Since you don't admit it, let's get beaten together and stick our butts out!"
Several children nervously covered their buttocks and shouted: "Didn't you say you won't get beaten?"
Xu Chen glared: "Who said that if you don't get beaten, you will be punished if you do something wrong? You are so old. It doesn't matter if the wolf runs away. What will happen if the horse runs away? What if the sheep runs away?"
"Yes, yes, yes, you are careless at work, you should be beaten!" A man nodded loudly beside him.
"Also, if I want to beat you up, it's not because I let the wolf run away. It's because you don't admit your mistakes. It's wrong to blame each other. As a man, one person should take responsibility for his actions. I know best in my heart who lets the wolf run away.
Blaming your own mistakes on others is the most intolerable mistake, so do you think you deserve to be beaten?" Xu Chen looked at the children with a serious face.
"Should... we were wrong!"
Several children blushed and nodded softly together.
"As long as you know you're wrong, stick your butt out and get spanked!"
So under Xu Chen's order, the little brats could only turn around and raise their buttocks obediently. Xu Chen slapped each of them twice, neither lightly nor harshly, and then threw the riding whip to a hunter and said with a smile:
"Okay, the punishment is over, I keep my word, and I will give you a gift later!"
"嘢嚯~"
A group of children cheered instantly.
Because he accidentally let go of Xu Chen's two precious wolves that he had raised for more than two years, a group of children were all frightened, and the whole family was in fear for two months. Unexpectedly, Xu Chen let him go so easily.
, so not only a group of children were excited and happy, but a group of adults also breathed a sigh of relief.
Because of this, everyone is under too much pressure.
The two little wolves were the first wild beasts that Xu Chen raised. Even though they were very wild and difficult to get close to, they actually did not bite people, and they were still useful in driving away animals and birds to look after homes and homes. Everyone had long regarded the two wolves as members of the family.
The staff is taking good care of it, and a group of children will be led outside to walk back and forth several times every day.
But beasts are beasts, and they are not as easy to tame as wild horses. When October Wind came back with the good news of conquering the Yu Gong clan, the children were so happy that they left the wild wolf on the river beach and waited until they remembered to find it.
By that time, the shadows were gone.
Later, a group of hunters searched inside and outside the valley for several days, and finally had to admit that these two guys really ran away.
"Chen Ga, is it really nothing wrong with Big Wolf Er running away?"
Some hunters were still a little worried that Xu Chen would be unhappy, so they asked cautiously.
Xu Chen shook his head with a smile and said: "It's okay. In fact, I had expected them to run away. It's a good thing if they run away. It's a blessing... well, it's a blessing to lose a wolf when you attack a armor."
"Your Majesty the Witch King, what do you mean?"
The twin little witches seemed to speak in unison almost at the same time, their eyes twinkling and full of desire for knowledge.
"Well, that is to say, if Pu and A lose the wild wolf, maybe it will be a good thing!"
"Moxy Gaga?"
This time, not only the twin little witch sisters were surprised, everyone was confused.
"Haha, what I mean is that the big wolf and the wolf have grown up, and they have reached the age of mating and giving birth. It is definitely not possible to feed them like this. They will run away sooner or later. Maybe they will run out and find the wild wolf they like to mate.
, maybe one day it will come back and give birth to a litter of wolf cubs, then we will have more wolves!"
Xu Chen explained with a smile, and the people who woke up were all surprised and laughed. Many people nodded vigorously and said that Xu Chen's statement made sense. Wolf 2 is a female wolf, and she went out to find a male wolf to mate.
When the time comes, he will come back with a big belly and give birth to a litter of wolf cubs. Then the wolves in the tribe will be like raising ducks, raising more and more wolves.
So the biggest problem that had made the whole family nervous and fearful for two months was resolved without a trace by Xu Chen in a few words.
