Wolf boy

As soon as Zong Shuo and his team reined in, the big man who was still struggling on the ground stopped moving. He knelt down respectfully and timidly, and presented the other half of the letter that was torn apart by Ah Tong. His right hand, which had been bitten by a dog and was bleeding, was pressed to his chest. The big man lowered his head and spoke the Kret language on the grassland.

"Dear Yuezhi, the letter from our Lord Zieg has been brought, and the Naiman tribe can see the sincerity. We only wait for Yueshi to come."

Hearing this kind of language, Ah Tong instinctively tilted his head, making a careful distinction with his small head.

"Please ask Yueshi to let me go back to Naiman."

As soon as Ah Tong heard this, his eyes straightened, and regardless of whether Zong Shuo agreed, he cursed directly, "You guys beat him up with me! They captured a lot of unarmed innocent people and dragged them away on horses. Still laughing and cutting off people's heads!"

The big man could understand Chinese, and when he heard this, his body trembled, and he felt unlucky in his heart.Leader Zig told them to tie up a bunch of people from the Central Plains, go straight to the foot of Zhaocheng City, and behead them in front of everyone, saying that this was a gift for the last Yueshi on the grassland.Then you can ride your horse and drive away.

But now not only all the "congratulatory gifts" have been let go, but the whole group of them may also be here!

Zong Shuo remained silent all the time, just looked at the Chinese characters on the letter, and waved his hand behind him. The battalion guards quickly dismounted and tied up the barbarians who were bitten all over. They also dragged these people behind the horse, and gave them back.

Ah Tong relieved his anger, followed behind the kidnapping camp guard with his hips crossed, and kicked those barbarians again when he saw the opportunity.

He patted that camp guard's shoulder just in the mood, and felt a big furry face rubbing against him by his ear. Turning his head, he saw that it was Wu Xiao who had walked up to him, rubbing his face against him.

Ah Tong raised his eyes and glanced at the stinky face of the man on the horse's back, not knowing whether he was angry or not, so he asked tentatively, "Well, am I right?"

Half of Zong Shuo's face was hidden under the handsome red-tasseled helmet, and the young man was relieved to see him nodding his head.It's not that I'm afraid of him, it's just that I don't do anything wrong with good intentions. There are so many rules for "people", and I have a lot to learn.

In fact, Zong Shuo was very fond of Ah Tong. This letter would definitely reach him, but how could he get it.Now it was directly intercepted halfway, if Ah Tong hadn't come out for a walk, then the blood spattered three feet at the gate of Zhaocheng City, and some people died for no reason, and he, the "Yueshi", should bear the crime.

Ah Tong patted Wu Zai's big horse face, turned around and was about to go into the woods to find the dogs.Suddenly, the man on the horse who had been silent all this time opened his voice.

"Get on the horse."

"Huh? What kind of horse are you on?" Then Wu Zai rubbed against him again, and Ah Tong finally realized and scratched his head.He originally planned to run back, but he thought that if he arrived first, the city officials would have to open the city gate twice, which would be a waste of time.

Zhaocheng gathered many skilled craftsmen from the Central Plains, and it took more than ten years of research and development to have this impenetrable city.The mechanical expansion of the city gate is very complicated, and the gate body is made of refined iron, so the siege engines cannot break through it.It is more troublesome when driving back and forth.

Ah Tong looked at Zong Shuo, the man's scarlet handsome robe fluttered in the wind, covering the youth's clear eyes.

And when he was in a daze, his feet lightened, and Zong Shuo pulled his arms and lifted him onto the horse's back.Before Ah Tong could sit still, Wu Zai roared and galloped forward.So he had no choice but to reach out and hug the cold armor of the man in front of him.

Now that summer is approaching, the night is also hot and windy, Ah Tong is greedy for the cold, so his upper body gradually sticks tightly to Zong Shuo's back.After a while, Zong Shuo felt that the armor on his back was warmed up, as if it was clinging to the boy's body temperature, like a small stove.

The perception is inexplicable.

Ah Tong was feeling comfortable in the cold, when a gust of breeze blew by, the hair under Zong Shuo's helmet was blown into a mess, and strands of hair gently brushed on the young man's shiny cheeks.

The armor is cold and hard, but the hair is soft. Ah Tong raised his nose and sniffed. The familiar fragrance and the desolate smell of the Gobi night made the young man involuntarily remember it deeply.

The team's horseshoes were galloping, and nearly a hundred dogs in the forest followed closely behind. From a distance, they looked like a group of bright wolf eyes hidden in the dark of the night, with impressive momentum.

Ah Tong thought for a while, then leaned against Zong Shuo's back and raised his head and asked, "Well, can I ask a question?"

"Say."

"Yuezhi, what is it? You are Yuezhi? Your name is Yuezhi!" Ah Tong always thought that the evil star was called "General".

But just as the young man finished speaking, the man suddenly reined in his horse, turned his head and asked him, "Do you understand Kret? Who taught you that!"

Ah Tong lost the support and armor in front of him, and seeing that the man's expression was a little fierce, he was not very happy.

"What kind of Kret language, it's the first time I came out of the mountain, how can I know what Kret language, I, Ataana, didn't teach it! You, what are you doing so fierce!"

Zong Shuo was silent for a moment, then his tone eased, "Can you understand what that barbarian is saying?"

Ah Tong hummed and turned his face away, and stopped looking at him, "Then what's the matter, I can still understand wolf language." Look at your ignorant look!What are you doing in such a surprise!

Zong Shuo patted the horse slowly, and the two of them wandered behind the team.Xiao Ran, who was running ahead, turned around and glanced, thinking that the general had awakened, so he led the team back to the city quickly without waiting.After all, he had to thank the person who made his finger cots.

"Kret language is the oldest language in the grassland. It has been passed down for many years, but it is too complicated. Nowadays, except for the people of the Kret tribe, few people can speak it. Who did you learn it from?"

Zong Shuo stared at Ah Tong with deep eyes, he knew that young people can't tell lies, and he hasn't learned the most complicated and profound skill in the world.

Ah Tong listened to the man explaining the reason in detail, then turned to look at him, and said something that Zong Shuo had been thinking about for a long time.

"Language and divine power are all given by heaven."

The two looked at each other, and the moonlight at night shone into the boy's eyes, as if the Milky Way was reflected in it, which was more complicated and gorgeous than the sky. He was once in a dream, under this starry sky.

At the beginning of Zong Shuo's life, he vaguely glimpsed the mystery and magic of the young man.

The starry eyes in front of him blinked, and asked him again, "Your name is Yuezhi, you know my real name, and I want to know your real name too. Let's be fair."

It was the first time someone wanted to be fair to him, Zong Shuo was a little surprised, but seeing Ah Tong's natural look, his eyes flashed, he turned sideways and answered slowly.

"Real name? I only have one name, not like you."

Ah Tong let out a "Hi" in his heart, annoyed that this man turned his stomach and grabbed his braid to choke him!

"Then tell me or not!"

The moonlight shone on the shadows of the Populus euphratica forest, covering the two people and the horse all the way. At this moment, they finally reached the end of the forest, the mottled darkness disappeared, and the two looked at each other in the harmonious night.

Zong Shuo said softly, "Zong Shuo, my name is Zong Shuo, Helian Zong Shuo."

"Zong Shuo? Then I'll call you Zong Shuo too."

"You should call me General."

"But you're not called a general. Are you, Zong Shuo!"

Ah Tong was rambling, but it sounded quite reasonable, seeing the strand of hair on his head that was bouncing with the horse's back, Zong Shuo smiled, the young man didn't understand anything, so he let him go.

Since many years ago, no one has called his name anymore, now it is a new thing to hear, and it is right to remind yourself that he still has a name.

"Is that month just a nickname?" Is it like the big black bear and little white wolf in Dongshan, they are called "two fools" or "little fool" by Ana.

There are always a lot of things that Ah Tong is curious about. The world is so novel. There are even many names.

"Yuezhi." Zong Shuo hesitated for a moment, turned around and rode forward, "Yuezhi is the name of the family. My mother is the Yuezhi of the grassland, and I am also the Yuezhi."

Ah Tong still didn't understand, but he didn't think it mattered, it was just a nickname, as long as he knew his real name.The real name is the only proof and definition of a person's existence and the world, and he has already grasped the traces of this man's life.

But Ah Tong still doesn't realize that humans and wolf gods are different.People don't need to agree with heaven and earth at all, they can choose a name very casually, and there are even a lot of people with the same name. If he stands in the barracks and shouts "Wang Ergouzi", there will be no less than dozens of people together. answer……

Wu Zai let go of her speed, and after a while, the two caught up with the team and entered the city together with the others along the suspension bridge.

After returning to Zhaocheng, Zong Shuo started to get busy again. A Tong hugged the black wind alone in the handsome tent, and sat beside Zong Shuo's desk, lighting a lamp and cooking oil without sleeping.Xing Wu went into the inner room to get the topographic map, saw the little guard lying on the table scratching his head, he took a closer look, and then had a good time.

"Hey! Write big characters!"

I saw a lot of waste paper dotted with ink on the table, large and small typos written everywhere, not only missing radicals, but also ugly, like scratched by chicken feet...

Ah Tong was so sleepy, he opened his eyes in shock from Xing Wu's loud voice, and saw that because he hadn't moved for a long time, the ink from the brush had soaked through the layers of rice paper, and he yelled "Oops!"He hurriedly threw away the pen to save the paper, but who knew that he was careless, and threw away the pen and ink to the black-faced general who was still gloating.

Ah Tong let out a cry, and hurriedly grabbed the rice paper dripping ink in his hand and wiped Xing Wu's face.However, the more you smear, the more black you draw.

Ah Tong simply flicked his shoulders, forget it!Anyway, he is dark, so he can't tell much!

Xing Wu didn't care too much, who told him to say something first, was about to leave, when the little guard waved his hand and called him to stop with some annoyance.

"Can you do me a favor?"

"Yo, what's the matter?"

The young man struggled to find a few copybooks that he was satisfied with, "Take this to Zong Shuo, and say that I finished writing on time, and the writing is not bad. Reward yourself for going out to play for a while!"

Xing Wu suppressed a smile, and nodded solemnly, "Don't worry! You must bring it!"

After getting out of the tent, the black-faced man realized that his heart was moving while holding the copybook in his big hand.

"Hey, I don't even dare to call Zong Shuo directly. That's fine. He doesn't believe that these two people have nothing to do."

So, when the great general, who was really nothing, finished the marching council and returned to the tent with those ghostly-painted copybooks, he saw that the boy had already been lying on his desk, fast asleep.

The moonlight is quiet outside, and the candles in the tent are dimly lit.

A faint warm light enveloped the square inch of the desk. The boy was still resting his arms on his pillow, tilted his head, and snored slightly.Zong Shuo stood under the candlelight and watched quietly for a long time.

In the end, he lay on his back beside Ah Tong with his clothes on, and held up the big "well written" characters in his hands to his eyes, looking at them until it hurt his eyes.But the general, with a deep heart and deep thoughts, breathed a sigh of relief, crossed his legs next to Ah Tong, and fell into a rare sleep.

In the dream, he rested his head on the Milky Way and wore the sun and the moon on his body.
