Chapter 39 The most loyal sheepdog - Feifei.
Qi Guang suddenly realized which day Kormu Khan was talking about.
"Victory lay motionless by the lake, and the horse he had found stood beside him, licking his cheek."
"I was terrified and thought he had frozen to death. I was pleasantly surprised when I confirmed he was still breathing!"
"Later, I took him back to the county town. When he woke up, he went to find you right away. He even pulled out the needle from the IV drip..."
"Actually, Shengli feels really guilty about this. The journey to the winter pasture wasn't far, and he wanted to go with me. It would take less than two days to get back to the county town, but unfortunately, the horses got lost!"
Qi Guangxin suddenly tensed up, and he seemed to realize why Kormu Khan told him this story.
"Uncle, which horse is missing?"
Kormu Khan then replied, "Okay."
Qi Guang's head buzzed and he froze in place.
He had already guessed it, but the moment he heard the answer, he still couldn't remain calm.
"Do you know why the good ones can understand your whistle?"
Qi Guang's already trembling heart began to tighten again.
"Shengli has been training him by imitating the sound of your whistle. He said that one day you will come back and ride it across the grassland."
Qi Guang originally thought that the reason why he was so smart and could understand his call was just because of the system skill reward.
He thought of many possibilities, but missed this one.
"Shengli said that after your second child is born, you might feel a sense of loss in this family, so this horse must be given to you when you come of age."
Qi Guang recalled the time when he surrounded Qi Shengli as a child and insisted on getting a horse as a gift for his coming of age:
"I want a horse!"
"That's the custom of the grassland people. Why are you joining in the fun?"
"I don't care. I grew up on the grassland. I am a grassland person. I want horses!"
"Su Xingmei, come and see your nearly fifty-eight-year-old son, acting like a spoiled brat!"
"Qi Shengli!! You're going too far!"
"Wow, wow, a giant baby who's almost 58 years old can speak idioms now?"
The milk tea in his hand had gotten cold, so Kormuhan added some hot milk to Qi Guang's cup.
"Actually, it was all just an accident."
Yeah, who says it isn’t?
Because it was an accident, the young Qi Guang didn't know who to blame.
Can he blame the living, the closest ones who will never leave him?
That person.
Qi Guang held the milk tea and lowered his head without saying a word.
But I was still thinking about it in my heart.
Even though he was more stubborn than the wild donkeys on the grassland, he still followed Qi Shengli in the end.
"Okay, really good."
Qi Guang suddenly said this, and Kormu Khan finally smiled with relief after hearing it.
"It's good because your father taught you well."
"The same goes for your kindness, child."
Qi Guang smiled at Kormu Khan, raised his head and drank the milk tea in the bowl!
"What are you going to do with Shengli's ashes?"
"Well, it's time to deal with it, otherwise people will think it's a box of biscuit crumbs..."
"Seungri said that cookie box is your favorite, so put him in it and he will become your favorite."
Qi Guang seemed to laugh out of anger:
"Only he can do such an awkward thing."
"I vaguely guessed it."
"Then why don't you tell uncle?"
“It feels corny.”
Although Qi Guang said this, a warm feeling slowly flowed out from his heart.
He put down the bowl and walked out of the yurt.
Looking at the good one on the side, its superior lines and rare hair are eye-catching at night.
And at this moment, the good ones are also quietly looking at Qi Guang.
One man, one horse, one starry sky.
The night is long, and there are so many misunderstandings in life that cannot be resolved, and so many barriers that melt away with time...
Qi Guang looked up at the sky and said softly:
"I saw the golden wild yak. You weren't lying. It was really cool..."
Just then, three meteors streaked across the sky above my head.
"Goodbye, you all should be well, well, well..."
*****
Tonight, Qi Guang was forced to stay overnight by Khormu Khan.
He said that if he let the guests go when the sun sets, it would be a shame that could not be washed away even by jumping into the river.
Hahaha, Uncle Kormuhan is really good at using national proverbs.
Although the hospitality is one thing, in fact, it has been so lively here for a long time.
He has never enjoyed the care of his children.
I have long regarded Qi Guang as my own child.
Of course Qi Guang understood his uncle's thoughts, even if he didn't say it, Qi Guang understood it.
Late at night, besides the wind, the grassland can also be heard the howling of animals in the distance.
Qi Guang was already used to it, but this time it was different.
He was awakened by the frantic and shrill barking of dogs, followed by the chaotic bleating of sheep.
Kormu Khan picked up a wooden stick with an iron ball on top and was about to leave the yurt.
"I'm going too!"
Qi Guang did not give Kormu Khan a chance to refuse, and picked up a wooden stick and followed him out.
It’s quiet in the middle of the night, with a cool breeze blowing gently.
The two men ran to the sheepfold and saw the sheep gathered together, crying out in fear.
Kormu Khan drove the flock of sheep in a low voice.
When they gradually dispersed, a tragic scene was revealed! !
A sheepdog with its throat bitten was lying on the ground, surrounded by blood.
Not far away, there was only a sheep's head left, with its eyes wide open, as if it couldn't believe that it would die in this quiet night.
The sheep's body is gone!
It was the first time Qi Guang saw a wild beast attack, and he couldn't help but feel frightened.
Looking at Kormu Khan standing beside him, the darkness swallowed his face, but his towering shoulders revealed his mood at the moment.
The sheepdog Feifei has been with him for twelve years.
From being difficult to tame at the beginning, to later obeying Khormu Khan's orders.
The man and the dog established a deep friendship.
If Qi Shengli's death brought endless emptiness and sadness to Khormu Khan.
The death of Feifei was a blow to Kormu Khan.
Feifei has protected the flock from being attacked by night wolves countless times.
There were even a few times when he tried to bite the other person and got injured.
But it is the bravest and strongest sheepdog, and like its master, it is a warrior of the grassland.
But the Warriors will age too.
Although Feifei is now very old, he still fulfills his responsibilities as a sheepdog.
It knows what this voice is facing.
But it is not afraid. Even though it is old and frail, it still wants to protect the sheep.
Loyal, persistent, and brave!
Kormu Khan examined Feifei's wound and said bitterly:
"It's a wild wolf!"
Wild wolves generally do not act alone, and based on the footprints on the ground, it can be judged that there are three wild wolves coming together.
It is likely that it attacks the flock of sheep because it is extremely hungry.
When Qi Guang saw the tears in Kormuhan's eyes, his heart suddenly felt sour.
Kormu Khan checked the flock and found that only one sheep was attacked by a wolf.
Thanks to Feifei's timely reminder, no greater losses were caused.
Kormu Khan must have thought of this, and tears rolled down his eyes.
He held Feifei carefully in his arms.
He didn't mind the blood and dirt on it at all.
As if comforting a child, he gently stroked the fat body.
It seemed like a century had passed before Kormu Khan brought Feifei back to the yurt.
Wash Feifei's whole body clean.
Finally, he buried Feifei next to the yurt.
At this moment, a ray of light finally appeared in the sky.
"You are the most loyal companion and the bravest warrior on the grassland!"
Khormu Khan said goodbye to his former companion with a trembling voice.
"My friend, go to sleep, and you will be fine after a good sleep."
Qi Guang felt bitter and angry when he saw this scene!
"Uncle, let's avenge Feifei!"
