Chapter 3 Strange

Kurgan Village is located in a flat valley, a small river passes by the village, and the hillsides on both sides of the village are full of seabuckthorn trees.

The entire village is surrounded by a wooden fence and a pile of soil as high as a person. On the edge of the fence and the pile of soil, there are several wooden archery towers that look very simple but are very effective. The archery tower is also the watchtower in the village.

It was sunset time, and there were already a few wisps of cooking smoke floating in the village.

As soon as Zhang Tie followed Ivan and the others approached the edge of the village, they were immediately spotted by the people on the watchtower.

"Ivan and Boorman are back, they're all back, quite a few of them! They also harvested eight iron-toothed hyenas..." The people on the watchtower had sharp eyes, and after only one glance, they shouted loudly. With a heartfelt joy.

Following this sound, there were some noises in the village, and many younger children ran out of the village, yelling "brother" and "brother" one after another, rushing over and pulling the clothes of the village teenagers and youths, Others circled around the iron-toothed hyena that Ivan and the others were carrying, some were drooling, and some clamored to use the iron-toothed hyena's skin to make clothes. It was extremely lively.

The skin of the people in the whole village is a little rough, but they are very strong, which is also the characteristic of the aborigines of these tribes living in the ice and snow wasteland. The village is not rich, and all the places look a bit shabby. All the houses in the village are one-story log cabins, and two or three log cabins are surrounded by wooden fences to form a family yard, but it is still full of people. Laughter and laughter, especially after people who have been out hunting come back.

After knowing that Zhang Tie had just rescued the eight teenagers in Kurgan Village, Zhang Tie undoubtedly received the warmest welcome.

Uncle Zig, the village head of Kurgan Village, personally brought Zhang Tie to his home, and then the eight teenagers' family dried all kinds of meat. Preserved fruit and fine wine brewed from sea buckthorn were delivered, and everyone was very grateful to Zhang Tie.

The simplicity of the villagers here also moved Zhang Tie a little. Zhang Tie, who had walked around the village once, knew that this place was not rich, but the things the villagers gave him here were basically the best things the village could get.

Just like jerky. On the way to the village, Zhang Tie knew that after Ivan and the others brought back the iron-toothed hyenas, in addition to the usefulness of the iron-toothed hyenas' fur, their meat would also be pickled and eaten, although Zhang Tie knew that the taste was not very good. Well, but for these tribal residents living in the ice and snow wasteland, it is not something that can be wasted. Those families kept the unpalatable meat at home, and what they sent to Zhang Tie were top-grade venison and pheasant that smelled very good.

The head of Kurgan Village, Zig, is a man in his 50s and 60s. The wind and frost on the snowy wasteland made his face look older than his actual age.

This also made Zhang Tie a little uncertain about his exact age.

Ziggy's forehead was full of deep wrinkles. But his body is very tall and straight, not only tall and straight, but also tall, almost two meters tall, with thick and broad shoulders, which can give people a sense of responsibility at a glance.

After handing over the items to the women at home and taking them to the kitchen for processing, Zig and Zhang Tie sat at the stone table in their courtyard and chatted.

The women in Chigurh's family made two cups of hot water for the two of them. Looking at the yellow-green leaves and the golden soup floating in his pottery cup, Zhang Tie blinked in disbelief. Could it be tea? When did these tribes live in such luxury. If a bag of tea can be transported here, it will definitely be much more expensive than transporting it to Heiyan City.

Zhang Tie picked up the water glass and smelled it. The smell in the water seemed to be a little different from the tea, but there was also a faint plant fragrance, so he blew on it. After taking a sip, the soup tasted slightly sour amidst the lightness.

"Isn't this tea?" Zhang Tie asked.

"This is indeed not tea from the east, this is the sea buckthorn tea we make here!" Village Chief Zig squinted his eyes and took a sip, enjoying it very much, "The leaves of the sea buckthorn tree can be used by people or animals. Eat. The animals are still very fat after eating, so they lean on the seabuckthorn trees on the hillside outside the village. Since we settled here in Kurgan Village, no one has starved to death for more than two hundred years. As long as the seabuckthorn trees can Where there is life, people can live!"

The village head of Kurgan Village said with some pride.

"This stuff tastes good!" Zhang Tie smiled, and after taking two sips, he followed Zig's example and drank the leaves in the water into his mouth, chewing and swallowing. As far as Zhang Tie is concerned, he really can't drink expensive tea drinks anyway, this kind of thing he drinks is really not much different from the "Wild Spring" made by the elders of Huaiyuan Hall. Although the price of a cup of wild spring may be worth more than all the seabuckthorns on a hillside here combined, for Zhang Tie, the value of a thing is never measured by money. This kind of value has been around since Brape It has been deeply implanted in Zhang Tie's mind.

Seeing that Zhang Tie didn't dislike this kind of thing at all, he naturally ate those seabuckthorn leaves that can also be used to feed livestock, Zieg finally showed a bright smile on his face, and gave Zhang Tie a thumbs up, " You are a true friend of our Kurgan Village!"

Zhang Tie has roughly figured out the characters of these tribal residents on the ice and snow wasteland. Whether it is the young Ivan or Zig in front of him, they are both straightforward, straightforward, and have a clear distinction between love and hate. You treat them well, and you can respect them. These people treat you more, respect you more, and show a simple side, but if you dare to provoke them, these people will definitely fight you to the end endlessly.

Zhang Tie likes these people.

After turning the thoughts in his heart around, Zhang Tie decided not to go around in circles, but directly said the one thing he wanted to know most when he came to Kurgan Village.

"When I came here, I heard from Ivan that a person from the Guardian God Sect came to Kurgan Village a few days ago. Can you tell me about that person? I am also a devout believer from the Guardian God Sect. I was a little surprised to meet people from the sect in the ice and snow wasteland!"

"Oh, you are a follower of the Guardian God Sect?" Village Chief Zig looked at Zhang Tie in surprise.

"Yes, I used to be a devout devotee of the Guardian God sect when I was in the Norman Empire. When I rescued Ivan and the others just now, I mentioned that I was a follower of the Guardian God sect. Ivan and the others Just told me that a person from the Guardian God Sect came here a few days ago!"

After hearing Zhang Tie's words, Village Chief Zig no longer doubted, "The person who came to Kurgan Village is a powerful guardian of the wilderness from the Guardian God Sect, and he came here to investigate the gray hill beast Tide thing!"

Zhang Tie was shocked. This was the second time he had heard the name "Guardian of the Wilderness" of the Guardian God sect. The first time he heard of this name was during the trials in the Wild Wolf Valley. Jerome He once told him that the guardian of the wilderness of the guardian god sect has a powerful ability to control animals. This is a very powerful and mysterious profession. He did not expect to meet such a person here.

"Is there anything strange about this beast tide?"

Needless to say, there must be something unusual about the incidents that attract the guardians of the wilderness to investigate, otherwise why would those people come here.

"The last time there was a beast tide in the gray hill was seven years ago, and now it's happening again. It's really weird!" Village Chief Zieg said with a frown.

"why?"

"Because according to the history of the ice and snow wasteland and the law of the outbreak of animal hordes in the past, the time between each animal horde is about 12 to 15 years. The ice and snow wasteland is too big, and many powerful wild animals without natural enemies After a period of recuperation, the number of creatures will increase dramatically, resulting in a beast tide. This is not surprising at first, but this time, it has only been seven years since the last beast tide started. The second wave of beasts is coming, and it is very unusual here. It is almost something that has never happened in the ice and snow wasteland!"

"Is that the only reason?"

"Of course there are some more strange things!" Village Chief Zig's forehead furrowed deeper when he said this, "In the past, the animal horde would not erupt at the same time, but the iron-toothed hyena's animal horde came and other creatures For example, the beast hordes of wasteland wolves and hell rats will not erupt, and the outbreaks usually take turns. But this time, I heard that in different places in the ice and snow wasteland, many beast hordes of different creatures came .And what's even weirder is that this swarm of beasts has disabled the spells of many tribes around the gray hills and the bloody territories outside the village..."

"Bloody territory?"

Seeing that Zhang Tie didn't seem to know what a bloody territory was, Village Chief Zig patiently explained to Zhang Tie that the so-called bloody territory was a shaman on the ice and snow wasteland who used the blood of certain wild animals and dangerous creatures to A spell cast by life, the only function of this spell is to prevent those dangerous creatures from easily approaching the tribes and villages protected by this spell within a certain range, so as to provide people living here with an invisible Protect.

A bloody territory spell is only aimed at a kind of wild beast. Around some large tribes, there are often multiple bloody territory spells for protection, and they dare not to drive out some dangerous creatures that can threaten ordinary people in the tribe. to approach.

For example, in Kurgan Village, more than forty years ago, a shaman performed a bloody territory for this place. After that bloody territory, in the past 40 years or so, Kurgan Village has experienced several animal hordes, but no iron-toothed hyena has ever approached within ten kilometers of the village.

But this time, it was unknown whether the bloody territory's spell had lost its effect or the iron-toothed hyenas had gone crazy. The distance of ten kilometers was no longer the safe line for Kurgan Village to keep the iron-toothed hyenas out.

Apart from Kurgan village, this problem has been encountered in many other places. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users, please go to m. to read.)
