Lord Helanza

After the old village chief finished dividing the wolf meat, he found Surdak who had treated the wolf head with quicklime and was about to sit down and rest for a while.

He took out a greasy rag and wiped his hands. The slimy wolf blood was difficult to wipe clean, so he simply threw the rag aside, sat on the opposite side of Surdak and said, "You are so generous." He took the wolf-toothed dagger as a gift, and actually gave each of the children who participated in the coming-of-age ceremony one..."

Surdak was sitting in the shade of a chestnut tree on the edge of the valley, resting. The two big children carried a tub full of water and ran over eagerly. He also unceremoniously put his hand into the water basin, washed his face happily, and heard the old village head next to him. Tucao, raised his head and laughed, and waved to the two big children standing aside. The big child seemed to have done something extraordinary. He cheered and poured the red blood from the tub into the edge of the valley. In the drain, he happily took the tub and left.

The old village chief twitched his eyes, thinking that he has such a high prestige in Wall Village, and there are people who can take the initiative to fetch water to wash their hands. The charm of a wolf-toothed bone dagger is really big enough.

Surdak laughed next to him and said to the old village chief: "I just want them to have a better way to protect themselves. These children simply don’t know how dangerous the outside is. They accept the cruel environment outside. Before being beaten up, you should try to arm yourself."

The old village chief pointed to a group of girls surrounded by a group of village women, staring at Surdak somewhat seriously, and asked: "What do those girls say, they again You don’t need to perform military service or go to the battlefield. How did you give them the spiked dagger?"

Seeing the questioning tone in the old village chief’s tone, Surdak is a little confused. Usually the old village chief is not. Such a harsh person said to the old village chief according to what he thought in his heart: "Gifts are always equal for everyone, and gender discrimination is not allowed. Anyway, I am not going to sell these wolf fangs. You See if these extra spikes are left, you can also ask someone to make spiked daggers, and they can be used as gifts next year for the children who participate in the coming-of-age ceremony!"

After that, Surdak will do it. He took out a cloth bag from his arms and handed it to the old village chief.

After the old village chief opened it, he discovered that there were dozens of sand wolf fangs inside. He glanced at the village women gathered in the valley, patted Surdak's shoulder with his hand, and said to him : "But those girls' family members think you must have taken a fancy to their daughter. They think you are a betrothal gift, and think that you will take the initiative to marry their daughter after the coming-of-age ceremony... "

Surdak just wanted to drink water, when the old village chief said this, he was so scared that the wooden water cup fell to the ground.

"How is it possible? This group of children are only sixteen years old, and they are still under adulthood, even more how...I still have a wife! Do you... feel that there is a problem with my aesthetics? "Surdak quickly defended.

He also didn't expect that the gifts he sent out would be misunderstood. This matter really needs to be clarified. It's no wonder that after I sent that many Spike Daggers, the eyes all around looked a little weird. It turned out that the biggest reason was here.

"Really no idea?" The old village chief looked at Surdak's eyes and confirmed again.

"It's true!" Surdak felt that if he didn't explain clearly, he might be swept out by Old Sheila at night.

Seeing that Surdak was so anxious to defend himself, the old village head believed that what Surdak said should be the truth, nodded with satisfaction, and comforted Surdak, who was in shock and said: "Well, I will help you explain this matter. "

He stood up and walked two steps out, then stopped and turned to Surdak and said:

"But this time you must remember that some gifts are between men and A woman’s eyes have completely different meanings. It’s okay if you give a dagger to a male child. Can any boy not like a dagger?"

His gaze swept to the outside of the valley, the man who was cutting the handle of the dagger under the oak tree. Children, with kind gazes in their eyes, watching them grow up day by day, these older children are the hope for the future of Wall Village.

Then the old village chief said to Surdak very sincerely: "But if you give the dagger to the girl, people will mistakenly think that you are going to ask them to kiss, and you give them the dagger to defend yourself before getting married. Chastity."

Surdak coughed: "cough cough..."

He thought in his heart: I am afraid that in the future, this kind of giving away things, must ask the old village chief or Old Sheila will do it!

Surdak took a peek at the strange gazes around him who looked at him, and felt that there was a group of people around him who wanted to watch the excitement and were not afraid of big things, and could no longer stay in the valley anymore, ready to pat his butt. Leave for a while and wait for the old village chief to help yourself explain clearly, and everyone won't look at yourself with this kind of eyes.

Thinking of this, he touched his forehead with a headache, then looked at the sun that was about to set, thinking about the sour smell all over his body after so many days of traveling back and forth. I want to take the time to go home and take a bath.

The old village chief gave Surdak most of the valuable things for hunting sand wolves. Only some sand wolf meat was distributed in the village. Now Surdak took out all the fangs and let the old village head Make it into a bone dagger and give it to the youngster in the village to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony. The remaining fangs can be kept until next year.

Looking at Surdak’s tall silhouette leaving the valley, the village chief straightened his waist and stood on the high platform, loudly shouting at the village women who gathered together: "Listen to me, everyone , These wolf-tooth daggers were issued to the children attending the coming-of-age ceremony in the village. Both men and women, one for each..."

The old village chief’s words are almost equivalent to the decree in Wall Village. These years The villagers in Wall Village are used to the loud voice of the old village head. After hearing the old village head’s explanation, the strong village women swayed their buttocks and dispersed. Those who had gained the fangs were surrounded by the village women. The girls in the center are considered to get away. They happily ran under the tree where the boys and children stayed, asked them to help, and put a comfortable grip on their wolf teeth.

The scent of meat in the big saucepan has drifted out, and there are some oil flowers floating in the tumbling soup pot.

The caravan leader arrived the day before yesterday. The old village chief sold half a bag of sulfur ore to the caravan. All the proceeds from the sale of sulfur ore were replaced by wheat flour, salt, salted fish, ham and some towns. The spice that talents will use, the leader of the caravan also suggested that the old village chief buy more Fruit Tree seedlings next spring and plant them on both sides of the valley in Wal Village.

The old village chief asked Selena to take out a bag of wheat flour from the warehouse and bake some granola. When the time comes, you can put the chopped wolf meat in the scones.

Selena was standing next to the big saucepan cheerfully, holding a long spatula in her hand, looking at Surdak’s back through the lingering heat, the old village chief called her several times. She responded: "...Okay, I will go now!"
