My father has been the leader for more than ten years. He has great authority in the tribe and rarely regrets what he says. Presumably, the father is definitely planning to regret it now. Is he really confident that a dangerous person will be around his son?
At least now she doesn't act 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 deliberately cooled the piece of meat, 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 something."
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 actions were 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 hands came from her own deer, hunger was hunger. Hunger affected her brain, and her survival instinct made her open her mouth and eat the meat in one bite. Eat.
"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 gave a kind warning 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. It is difficult to train a hungry wolf into a loyal dog. The process."
Rurik immediately retorted, with obvious anger in his eyebrows: "No! She is a human being. It is so barbaric for us to loot the deer herders. We will be attacked by more powerful tribes. Maybe we should be gentle to 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 Zuosen, 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 . "Hallo Zuosen, you know that I am always fair and just to my brothers. Under my leadership, the tribe is getting better and better year by year."
"Yes, I understand, I understand Chief."
"So,Any future leader should be like me. He is a good person to his brothers, but an evil person to his enemies. Who would be brothers with the enemy? If you are not an ally, you are a potential enemy. If we betray our allies, we will be attacked by our allies. Brothers are very happy to attack the enemy and rob the enemy's wealth. "
"Yes, 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 own bandit logic.
What the tribe did during these days was a typical "pirate transformation" "Thieves", doing exactly the same thing.
At this moment Rurik asked himself, it is obvious that his values a thousand years later are really too "holy". However, unprovoked robbery He always feels guilty, especially when his father treats captives as his servants. This makes Rurik feel even more guilty.
Maintaining savage animality is the basis for survival. If humanity is abandoned, There is no hope for this group to develop further.
I told my father about this advanced theory. Bah! He must still like to lie on the animal skin mat, chewing meat and drinking a cup. Mead, such a so-called prosperous life, and go to Novgorod to search for it when it is warm, and accept the worship of the locals.
There are some tribesmen sitting around this campfire. Important personnel.
The "General" Haro Zuosen, whom his father relies on, and his son Kanuf are also here.
Those who truly understand Rurik would not simply treat him like a seven-year-old child, not only because of the advanced will he has shown, but also because he has become the "Destroyer" holding Otto tightly. The heroic figure standing next to the girl who was almost executed.
A person's character is often shaped from childhood and lasts throughout his life. Even Arik saw the scene last night, so what Rurik said about "mercy" today does not mean that he is stupid.
I heard them say too much. , Rurik simply stopped interrupting.
He turned around, looked at the girl whose attitude became complicated, and directly pulled out the knife inserted in the barbecue and held it tightly in his hand.
p>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 want to do it. Tell you. I'm sorry that my tribe attacked your tribe, but this is the barbaric law of survival on the ice field.
Your family died at the hands of my tribe, and we are guilty. So you choose to fight, that's what you should do. You have caused scars to me, and I won't 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 comfortable lifeLife, I won't let anyone bully you.
If you want to leave, you can leave now. I will ask my father, the leader, to stop harming you. ”
Rurik used his childish voice and deliberately spoke loudly.
Girls had better understand, and their father would definitely understand anyway.
p>
Rurik, his soul Liu Li cannot recognize the existence of such a thing as a "slave" 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 can the other party Will work seriously
It is so stupid to use a whip and a wooden stick to ask a servant to pay!
Rurik felt that he had released too much kindness. Then he cut off the hemp ropes on the girl's hands and feet. There was no doubt that these ropes were tied by his father Otto. Rurik's move was obviously an act of rebellion against his father's authority.
But Otto didn't want to. Hengjia blocked him.
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 alert and stay out of Rurik's way just yet. "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 do something to get him. Injured again
“Now you choose! "After speaking, 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 leaving. Stay here or leave.
The girl understood the meaning. She first looked cautiously at the savage bearded men nearby, and then at the little boy holding the knife in front of her.
< p>Her eyes trembled hard, and she shrank slightly and began to retreat.Then she ran wildly on the snow on her thin leather boots, heading 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 men to stand still.
“Chief, that little wolf is about to escape! How did she really escape and become your son's loyal dog? ! Harozov asked helplessly, "Why don't I capture her back?" Rurik doesn’t want servants, and my family just needs a woodcutter. ”
“No. Otto immediately stopped the old man, "I respect my son's decision, and you should respect him too." Look, if Valkyrie is happy to see those old stories repeated, we should just wait and see. If she were a wolf, she would run away. If she is a loyal dog, she will come back again and again. "
"Will she come back? "Harozov asked.
"If she wants to die, then leave. "After that, Otto frowned and shook his head.
How could she run away so stupidly? If she had wanted to think about it, she would have tried to freeze herself to death. The girl was wearing a beast leather jacket, bodyThere was no food on the bed, and he didn't even have a stick to defend himself. Such a child would run away aimlessly in the ice field. When daybreak, she would be found 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 continued running. But she stopped when she reached the edge of everyone's sight. After a while, she heard a heartbreaking cry.
After a while, the girl was crying and walking back, 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 this journey, If she wanted to die, she would have died long ago."
"So, this is a wolf turning into a loyal dog?" Harozov asked.
"Look at Rurik's performance, I hope so."
What is the result?
This girl feels aggrieved and painful inside, but she is not stupid. She also lives in a harsh environment, and she also has a strong will to survive. Although she couldn't figure out much of the situation due to the language barrier, she did realize that the little boy who was stabbed by the stimulus had 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.
The girl took the barbecue without saying a word, squatted down and ate the meat. It was obvious that she was still very hungry.
Looking at her hurriedly eating meat, Rurik subconsciously stretched out his right hand and put his palm on the girl's braided head. He simply felt that this kind of "touching her head to kill" would easily make her emotional. Settle 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 are no more wolves."
Harold Zuosen beside him nodded deeply: "I hope she is a competent servant."
