Ninety-eight scimitars were high up, waving by arms not much longer than the scimitars, pointing to the blue sky and the grassland. Then, the teenagers cut their thumbs at the same time and dripped the blood from their fingertips into a wooden basin in turn. It was bright red.
The blood steamed in the sun, and was lifted up, put down, put down, lifted up, and finally enshrined in front of the portraits of the ancestors by the masked elders.
The young men ran down and brought in nine horses, nineteen strong bulls, and ninety-nine lambs with snow-white coats. The horns sounded continuously, and in the murderous atmosphere, the young men helped each other to separate the horses, bulls and lambs.
Slaughter them in batches, offer the blood to the sky, offer the pieces of meat to the ancestors, take out the internal organs and place them in a wooden basin, hold them in both hands and offer them to the soul of the holy wolf that protects the tribe in the dark.
Li Xu was shocked by the grand and bloody scene and was a little dizzy. He quietly turned his eyes away from the distance and fell on the girls who were passing by to toast. Suddenly, he saw Eru with a red face surrounded by a group of girls. Among them.
Several girls pointed and glanced at Xu Dayan beside them with hot eyes.
, there must be countless girls from various tribes looking forward to getting into Xu Dayan's felt tent. The reason why Eru was surrounded by them must be to find out where Xu Dayan lived.
Just when he was about to remind Xu Dayan to retaliate for being laughed at by this person, he was suddenly bitten on his earlobe, and at the same time, a faint fragrance came from his nostrils.
"The woman from the Shetou Department is asking where is your felt bag?" Ekuotosi said, baring her beautiful fangs like a little wolf, with a hint of jealousy and pride in her words.
Li Xu's face suddenly turned red to the root of his neck. He saw a girl smiling at him in the distance. Knowing that the way he and Tao Kuo were taking off their clothes would definitely cause misunderstandings among countless people, he wanted to push her away gently.
, but the girl's body pressed closer. She twisted her nose slightly and said sweetly and gently: "I will let Gan Luo guard your felt bag tonight. If they want to come, they can come. Look, Mr. Gan Luo
Before you knock them down, you should welcome them first!"
"Oh my God!" Li Xu spread his hands innocently. The girl's sour look seemed to have a special taste. He suddenly remembered that among the trophies Su Chuixil gave him, there was a pair of light red translucent tortoiseshell hairpins.
It was quite worthy of the girl's long white-blond hair.
At this time, he completely forgot about the bloody smell of these treasures, and reached out to touch the girl's hair, preparing to ask her to go get the hairpin with him. However, he saw the girl's eyes widened and asked, "What loot did you get? Give it to me."
Have you prepared any gifts?"
There was such a tacit understanding that Li Xu was so embarrassed that he didn't dare to reveal the gift. He hesitated and replied in a low voice: "There are a lot of them, but I have no use for them. You can pick them out later. Take whatever you want, you're welcome!"
"Silly Fu Li, won't you bring it to me yourself?" The girl pouted her pretty lips and asked angrily.
"Is there any difference?" Li Xu asked blankly, trying to pull Tao Kuo off his silk to explain, but the girl stepped on him hard and jumped away like a deer.
"Only women and villains are difficult to raise!" Li Xu found a balance for himself in his stomach. The pain from his toes was a little warm, making people feel warm in their hearts, as if they were holding Gan Luo in their arms again.
At noon, the celebration reached its climax. Led by Su Chuoxil's younger brother Su Chuofuli, more than a hundred sword-wielding warriors used cowhide ropes to pull the surviving dozen elders of the Xi tribe to the center of the tribe.
"Kneel down!" The warriors kicked and beat them roughly, pushing each of the elders who were once gorgeously dressed but now covered in mud and horse dung to the ground.
"What are they going to do?" Li Xu couldn't help but widen his eyes and asked in a low voice.
There was a caring pressure on his shoulders, and the drunk Xu Dayan put his right arm on his shoulders intentionally or unintentionally.
Amidst the sound of desolate horns, the warriors jumped around the dejected elders of the Xi tribe and sang songs. After a few war songs, Su Chufuli picked up a scimitar and walked slowly in front of the elders. The elders immediately shrank.
Everyone tried their best to move their bodies as far away as possible, fearing that Su Chu would be the first to be pulled out of the queue.
Su Chuofuli looked around and grabbed Wu Yile by the collar. The crowd immediately burst into cheers. The warriors of the Allied Forces were all familiar with Wu Yile. For more than four months, Su Chuoxi
Er and Xu Dayan teamed up to tease this unfortunate old man countless times, and each time they left enough laughter for everyone.
"Elder Wu Yile, are you willing to use your own blood to wash away the sins of your tribe?" Amid the cheers, Su Chuifuli put a scimitar on Wu Yile's neck and asked loudly.
"I, I, spare..." Wu Yile wanted to beg for his life, but the dignity of the elder did not allow him to do so. After muttering and hesitating repeatedly, the old man's spirit finally collapsed and he cried and begged: "Spare your life, look.
For the sake of immortality, spare your life, masters of the Su Chuo tribe. I, Wu Yile, the elder of the Xi tribe who has lived by the Suotou River for generations, am willing to work as a cow or a horse for the rest of my life to repay your kindness of not killing!"
"Coax!" The surrounding Xi tribes burst into laughter again. Wu Yile's embarrassed look made them very happy. Since last autumn, the large number of Xi tribes who came from afar were like a dark cloud, weighing down several nearby tribes.
Above our heads. Today, the dark clouds finally cleared.
"I won't forgive you, I just ask if you are willing to use your own blood to atone for the sins of your people!" Su Chuafuli shook his head and sneered.
There were faint cries in the distance, and the captive Xi people heard the singing and laughter here, and deduced what the cruel Su Chuo tribe was going to do. This is the rule on the grassland, and every winning tribe will do this.
Treat the conquered.
Li Xu suddenly had an urge to stand up, kill prisoners, and kill them cruelly. This behavior exceeded all the atrocities recorded in the classics he had read, and was beyond the endurance of a Central Plains boy. It made him intolerable.
What's more, the flowery girls are also clapping their hands, as if the death of others can bring them the greatest happiness.
The pressure on his shoulders was getting heavier and heavier. Xu Dayan held Li Xu hard to prevent him from jumping up. If he suddenly got angry at this time, I am afraid that all his achievements would not be able to calm down Lin Ren's anger.
"This is the grassland, and everything follows the rules of the grassland!" Xu Dayan said in Li Xu's ear, trying his best to speak in a calm tone. "The number of prisoners has exceeded the total population of the Su Chuan tribe. If we don't kill the prestigious ones,
Elder, more blood will be shed in the future!"
After listening to Xu Dayan's words, Li Xu stopped struggling and stared straight at the center of the field. The cheers, shouts, and laughter in his ears seemed to have stopped in an instant. In the silent red world, he saw Su Chui
Fu Li raised his knife and cut the blood vessels of the old man Wuyile like a chicken. Then, he let the red blood spurt into a red barrel.
Then, the green-faced, fanged, huge-toothed and red-haired Su Chufuli walked towards the next elder and pressed the scimitar on his neck.
"Are you willing to atone for your sins?" Suddenly the red world was no longer silent, and Li Xu heard Su's voice thundering in his ears.
"I want to drink!" He tilted his head vigorously and shouted to Tao Kuo Tuosi in the distance. Tao Kuo Tuosi, who was covering his face with his hands in fright, heard Li Xu shouting in Chinese and quickly ran over and handed over
Give the other person a bulging leather bag.
Li Xu untied the rope that bound the leather bag, pointed the mouth of the bag toward his throat, and poured the full bag of wine into his stomach. The killings and carnivals around him had nothing to do with him. At that moment, he just wanted to get drunk.
Just want to go home.
"With the blood of the elders drained, the hatred between the two clans will end, and the captives can become herd slaves!" While drinking, Li Xu heard a voice explaining to himself, which seemed to come from Eru, Aunt Qing, or from Aunt Qing.
It seemed like it was from Tao Kuo Tuosi. He didn't want to care anymore and just poured the whole bag of wine down his throat.
"The status of a herdsman is higher than that of a slave!" Someone whispered in a low voice. It seemed to be Xu Dayan's voice, and his voice was also trembling. Did he regret it? Li Xu thought sadly, stretched out his hand to wipe his wet face, and hugged
He fell asleep with his wine bag in his hand.
People who want to be drunk often wake up earlier than anyone else. In the middle of the night, Li Xu felt the heat in the felt tent. He pressed hard on his temples, which hurt like a knife, and got up in a daze.
"Fu Li, are you awake?" a voice filled with joy and a bit of fear asked.
Li Xu turned around and saw Tao Kuo, wearing a white dress, lying quietly next to him. There was a faint smile on his lips, but his hands were nervously holding on to the blanket underneath him.
"Boom!" Li Xu felt like countless stars appeared above his head, big and bright. His throat became even drier, and his body began to tremble disobediently.
This was a dream, Li Xu told himself over and over again. But his eyes swept uncontrollably towards the girl beside him.
It is undeniable that the girl is indescribably beautiful. Li Xu does not want to deny this. Ever since he learned about the customs of the Lin tribe, he regretted escaping from the tent that day. But when the long-awaited opportunity came to him again, Li Xu
Suddenly find yourself not knowing what to do?
In a daze, he remembered that he had lowered his head and carefully observed the girl's face through the dim light from the charcoal fire. It was a face that was still in bud, like a precocious lotus, waiting for him to pick it.
But he couldn't bear to touch it. He just wanted to caress the face gently, just once, and he would be completely satisfied.
The girl closed her eyes and her long eyelashes were trembling. She could clearly feel Li Xu's heavy breathing and smell the strong smell of alcohol on his body. She was looking forward to what Li Xu would do to her, but she was afraid in her heart.
I was dying. My whole body stiffened, and it felt like there were countless little drums beating in my heart.
Li Xu's hand gently fell on the girl's face, caressing her dimples, eyelashes, brows, and sliding up her long hair. The girl was nervously looking forward to, looking forward to, looking forward to and fearing the sacred moment in the legend.
After waiting for a long time, she heard thunderous snoring.
The girl secretly opened her eyes and saw Li Xu drooling, with his head on her shoulder and sleeping soundly. His hands were still on the ends of her hair, and her smiling face in her sleep was triumphant, as if she had just eaten something that had been hidden by an adult.
peach.
In his sleep, the fifteen-year-old boy was content. (To be continued)
