My father has been the leader for more than ten years. He has great authority in the tribe and will rarely regret what he says. I must think that my father is planning to regret it now. Is he really confident that a dangerous person will be around his son?
At least now she doesn't appear dangerous anymore.
Looking at the dull face of the girl next to him, Rurik looked at the sizzling and oily venison on the stick in his hand. He took out a knife and casually separated a piece.
He blew on the piece of meat to cool it down, held it with his little hands, and brought it to the girl's mouth.
"Eat, you will starve to death if you don't eat something."
Girl, indifferent.
"You'd better eat some."
Seeing that she remained the same, Rurik simply stood up and stood in front of her. He deliberately touched the scar on his neck with his left hand, and then shook his head vigorously.
He didn't say anything else. After finishing the action, he still had a calm face, and then handed over the piece of meat.
Rurik's behavior was to prove to her that he was not angry and that he was magnanimous and determined to maintain peace.
The girl's dull eyes finally showed ripples.
She was hungry after all, even if the piece of meat in the child's hand came from her own deer, hunger was hunger. Hunger controlled her brain, and her survival instinct made her open her mouth and eat the meat in one bite.
"Ah, the right choice." As he said that, Rurik cut up the meat again and stuffed it into her mouth one after another, making the whole scene very funny.
At this time, Otto suddenly warned kindly with a serious face: "Child, you have to be careful. This is a wolf. If she is full, she will still bite."
"No! We are the wolves. Father, you led your troops to attack her family and robbed her property. I don't know if this is right. She at least resisted. Father, you will follow the agreement,
She is my servant and obeys my arrangements."
"That's true." Otto smiled bitterly, "But she is still a wolf, and it is a difficult process to train a hungry wolf into a loyal dog."
Rurik immediately retorted, with obvious anger in his brows: "No! She is a human. It is so barbaric for us to loot the deer herders. If our tribe is always like this, we will only encounter attacks from more powerful tribes. Maybe we will
You should be gentle with those deer farmers from the beginning."
"Rurik, you are too kind." Otto shook his head.
"But he will definitely be a good person." Taking the opportunity, Harold Johnson, who was sitting on the other side, started to laugh.
"Hmph! Good people? Good people will be bullied by others. As a leader, you should be more ruthless, so that potential enemies will be afraid." Taking this opportunity, Otto really expressed his feelings intentionally. "Hello Zuosen, you are
You know, I am always fair and just to my brothers, and under my leadership the tribe is getting better and better year by year."
"Yes, I understand, my leader."
"So, any leader in the future should be like me. He is a good person to his brothers and a bad person to his enemies. Who will call the enemy a brother? If it is not an ally, then it is a potential enemy. If we betray our allies, we will be punished by our allies.
"My brothers are very happy to attack the enemy and rob the enemy's wealth."
"Yeah, just like this time we robbed the deer herders and made a lot of money."
Rurik just stood there stupidly, listening to the two uncles singing and coordinating their bandit logic.
What the tribe did during these days was a typical "pirate turned gangster", and the activities they performed were exactly the same.
At this moment, Rurik asked himself. It was obvious that his values a thousand years later were really too "holy". However, robbing him for no reason would make him feel guilty, especially when his father treated the captive as his servant.
, this kind of thing made Rurik feel even more guilty.
Maintaining savage animal nature is the basis for survival. If human nature is abandoned, this ethnic group will not want to develop further.
I told my father about this advanced theory, would he agree with it? Bah! I think my father still likes to lie on the animal skin mat, chewing meat for a while, drinking a glass of mead for a while, this so-called prosperous life. And when it is warm, he still likes to live.
Go to Novgorod to search and accept the worship of the locals.
Sitting around this campfire were some important members of the tribe.
There was the "General" Harold Zosen, whom his father relied on, and his son Kanuf.
My cousin Arik and sister-in-law Peravina are also here.
People who really understand Rurik will not treat him as simply as a seven-year-old child. Not only the advanced will he has shown, but also the fact that he held Otto's "Destroyer" sword tightly while standing and was almost executed.
The heroic figure next to the girl.
A person's personality is often shaped from childhood and continues throughout life.
Harold Johnson, Otto and Arik all saw the scene last night, so what Rurik said about "mercy" today does not mean that he will be stupid in any way.
Hearing that they talked too much, Rurik simply stopped interrupting.
He turned around and looked at the girl whose attitude became complicated. He immediately pulled out the knife inserted in the barbecue and held it tightly in his hand.
He looked at the girl in front of him, whose attitude had become very complicated, and deliberately showed the bright knife.
"Listen, I know you can't understand my language now, but I still have to tell you. I'm sorry that my tribe attacked your tribe, but this is the barbaric survival law on the ice sheet.
Your family died at the hands of my tribe, and we are guilty. So you chose to fight, and that is what you should do. You have caused scars on me, and I will not blame you.
I won't hurt you! You can be my servant, or you can leave.
If you are willing to be my servant, we will be friends, and I will let you live a life without worries about food and clothing, and I will not let anyone bully you.
If you are willing to leave, you can leave now. I will ask my father, the leader, to stop harming you."
Rurik used his childish voice and spoke loudly on purpose.
It's best for girls to understand, because their father will definitely understand anyway.
Rurik, his soul Liu Li cannot recognize the existence of such things as "slaves" after all. If you really want others to do things for you, you must let the other party benefit no matter what. Only in this way will the other party take it seriously.
Work.
It's so stupid to ask a servant to pay with a whip and a stick!
Rurik felt that he had released too much goodwill, so he then cut off the hemp ropes on the girl's hands and feet. Undoubtedly, these ropes were tied by his father Otto. Rurik's actions were also an obvious way of resisting his father's authority.
action.
But Otto didn't want to stand in the way.
Otto and his important men stood up, including Aric, who had already grasped the hilt of the short sword hanging on his belt.
"Brothers, stay vigilant and don't hinder Rurik for the time being." Otto ordered in a low voice.
Seeing that the girl had slowly stood up, Rurik also remained on guard. He could easily use the grappling technique to subdue her, but he was afraid that the girl would suddenly use something to injure himself again.
"Now you choose!" After saying this, Rurik's left thumb first pointed to the wilderness in the distance, and then pointed to himself.
Although the language is different, the meaning is basically understandable. It is nothing more than staying here or leaving.
The girl understood the meaning. She first looked cautiously at the bearded savage men nearby, and then at the little boy holding a knife in front of her.
Her eyes trembled hard, she shrank slightly and began to retreat.
Then, he ran on the snow with his thin leather boots, running towards the unknown night.
No matter what the girl did, Rurik expected it, and he was very happy that his father took the opportunity to order his people to stand still.
"Chief, that little wolf is about to escape! How can she become your son's loyal dog if she really escapes?!" Harozov asked helplessly, "Why don't I capture her back. Rurik doesn't want servants, my family
We just need a woodcutter."
"No." Otto immediately stopped the old man, "I respect my son's decision, and you should respect him too. Listen, if the Valkyrie is happy to see those ancient stories repeated, we should stay on the sidelines. If she is a wolf
, she will run away. If she is a loyal dog, she will come back again."
"Will she come back?" Harozov asked.
"If she wants to die, then leave." After saying that, Otto pouted and shook his head.
How could she run away so stupidly? If she had thought about it, she would have tried to freeze herself to death long ago. The girl was wearing an animal skin coat, had no food on her body, and didn't even have a wooden stick in her hand for self-defense.
The child ran away aimlessly in the ice field, and when they found her again at dawn, she was just a lump of ice frozen in the snow.
Otto believed that the girl would turn back, and suddenly he thought of something astonishing.
Son, Rurik, he planned it from the beginning!
No, the girl ran hard at first, fell down in the middle, got up and ran again. But she stopped when she reached the edge of everyone's sight range. After a while, she heard a heartbreaking sound.
Crying.
After a while, the girl walked back crying, as if her "escape" was just to cry.
"Hey! Chief, she is really back." Harozov said in surprise.
Otto breathed a sigh of relief: "That girl is smart. My son gave herself to her on the surface, but when she learned that freedom is death, she came back. You know along the way, if she wanted to die, she would have died long ago.
Just die."
"So, this is a wolf turning into a loyal dog?" Harozov asked.
"Look at Rurik's performance, I hope so."
what's the result?
This girl was feeling aggrieved and in pain, but she was not stupid. She also lived in a harsh environment, and she also had a strong will to survive. Although she could not understand many situations due to the language barrier, she did realize that the person who was stabbed by stimulation
The little boy has a special status among this group of savages.
If you can survive by accepting the child's kindness, maybe this is the best choice.
The girl came back, and the tears on her face turned into ice particles and fell quickly.
Rurik smiled with satisfaction. Without saying a word, he took the girl's hand and took out the barbecue stuck in the snow and handed it to the girl.
Without saying a word, the girl took the barbecue and squatted down to gnaw on the meat. It was obvious that she was still very hungry.
Seeing her hurriedly eating meat, Rurik subconsciously stretched out his right hand and placed his palm on the girl's braided head. He simply felt that this kind of "touching her head to kill" would easily calm her down.
Otto and his guys saw the whole scene clearly.
At this time, Otto sighed from the bottom of his heart: "Now I can say that my son has tamed a loyal dog, and there will be no more wolves."
Harold Zuosen beside him nodded deeply: "I hope she is a competent servant."
