Chapter 73： Return

The clever girl has given up resistance, and her hands and feet are not **** after they are freed.

On the way home, Niya no longer has to pull the sled herself.

The reindeer obtained by himself became a good servant, and Rurik sat on the sleigh, and of course his new servant.

The girl's wistful eyes kept staring at the little boy sitting in front of him, and the most ferocious sword-bearing man strode beside the sledge, still not casting his vigilant gaze.

The mighty army is walking the last journey in the translucent snowfield illuminated by the stars, moonlight and even the northern lights. Their east is a frozen sea, and their west is thick mountains.

When a new short day, the sun broke through the shackles of the horizon with difficulty.

The awakened people see the direction of their homes.

Roseburg, Roseburg in the fjord.

finally went home!

Still have time to continue to eat barbecue on the snow? No!

For an instant, people who were very organized and disciplined now become fighting on their own. It seems to be a competition, the one who goes home first is king.

Otto and his wife Niya climbed out of the snow nest tent. They were angry and noisy, and were frightened by the group running away.

Soon he himself understood the reason for everyone's rush.

"Niya, wake up Rurik and let's go home. Well, there is the cub who raises the deer."

Otto said, yelling at the names of some of the most loyal buddies.

After a while, Harozov laughed and ran towards him.

"Leader, let's go quickly, go back early."

"I just want to tell you this. Let's organize it and don't let everyone run into chaos."

Many people, their trophies, reindeer, are turned into belly delicacies, or turned into a pile of frozen meat, together with deer antlers, all trapped on a sleigh.

How could Otto take care of fifty deer?

He generously sold part of it for two silver coins, and now he controls only five stags and 15 females.

is sitting on hundreds of deer. Of course Otto has imagined that this is all right. The real problem lies here. He really doesn't believe that the deer-raiser girl can take care of more, and even more worried about whether she chooses the opportunity to escape.

If everything is ideal, the small herd of deer will continue to multiply, and their own wealth, rather than the future wealth of the son, will also greatly increase.

Maybe the deer herd will grow in the future, but can you live to that time?

Otto planned his work in the next few days, and the most important thing was to report to the elders, especially the priests.

This trip is really too long, maybe it will be bad for Villa's harshness.

Maybe give her a living deer with a cart as a gift, she will be very happy.

The mighty army began its final journey, and everyone didn't take the leader's words of maintaining order too seriously.

Their position is already "at the doorstep of their house, and many people are running wild on the frozen sea, no slower than rowing in summer."

They appeared in Xiawan, and the short daylight was about to come to an end.

Those tribesmen who went out to ice and fish for seals found them first, so when Otto triumphed, almost all tribesmen put on thick clothes and stood densely on the snow-covered old beach, cheering to the returnees.

The team is so mighty, they have a lot of goods regularly during this trip.

This is indeed the case.

As long as those who follow Otto to participate in the northward adventure, they have at least two goods of deerskin, and many people also get exquisite ferret and forest cat skins.

The husband has been hunting for a long time to obtain rich prey, and the wife has enough time to tanning and processing the fur.

Because even though they returned, the long winter is still long.

Even if Hanukkah is regarded as the beginning of the year, it just means that the daylight is getting longer and longer after that day.

The Ross tribe has another big festival, the so-called "Break Ice Festival". When a large area of ​​the frozen sea melts and traditional shipping resumes, the tribes will hold big sacrifices as usual.

They will priests the **** of the sea, the **** of the weather, and of course the great **** Odin. The shipping trade during the balloon hot spring period is all normal.

The tribe does not lack sacrifices this year, and one third of the large number of reindeer looted is still not starved to death.

Undoubtedly, these deer have also completed the cruelest migration in the deer life.

After all, they are domesticated deer. Lusheng serves either the Sami or other people.

After all, the deer can't be expected to live to old age and die of old age. Even with the Sami people, deer that lost their ability to work were also eaten by the Sami people.

When it comes to the Ross tribe, ordinary people will eat it quickly.

So for the future sacrifice, Otto thought about himself as the leader, but he wanted to take out some deer as a sacrifice.

It is glorious to provide deer for the sacrifice. This behavior reflects the financial resources of the supplier and represents power.

really came to the door of the house, Otto thought of so many things, and suddenly he patted his forehead and blamed himself for his arbitrariness.

"I knew that I wouldn't sell so many deer for silver coins. I would spend a lot of money to sacrifice. Well, nothing else, everything is to establish prestige for Rurik."

There is no doubt that Otto is an old man, and it is inevitable that all his wealth will be inherited by Rurik.

But Otto didn't know that the deer-keeper girl served as Rurik's personal servant.

Lurik didn't even intend to treat her as a servant of raising deer and nothing more, or raising deer was just a side job of the girl in her daily work.

A large number of wooden houses and stones built on the slopes of Roseburg appeared in front of people, as well as the towering masts of long ships that were pushed ashore to avoid being damaged by sea ice.

Roseburg in the snow, it was the first time that Rurik saw its fantasy and heroism in the afterglow of the setting sun.

This is the most incredible feeling for the deer-raising girl.

She only learned from her dead family that there were a group of barbarians in the south, and they were indeed barbaric, like a pack of wolves hiding in the snow, giving herself and her family a fatal blow.

Today finally spied the home of the savages, and the girl's idea immediately collapsed.

They are indeed barbaric, but the place where they live is really barbaric?

She saw a very big ship and tall masts.

She saw a lot of houses, which were much better than the wooden tents before her.

She also saw some people wearing bright clothes, mainly blue, mixed with yellow, which is incompatible with the grayish white of the surrounding snow world.

What shocked her most was the large population of this settlement.

They are savages and wolves, but this wolves is really huge.

The old grandmother who was killed by them once said that there were so many barbarians that their ancestors were unable to resist their attacks, and the survivors had to flee.

The old grandmother even mentioned Gao. The ancestors had traded with them and exchanged fur for tools of the barbarians. Those axes are really good logging tools, and as a result they changed from humans to wolves.

The team finally merged with the large crowd. Seeing the men and women who came around and laughing, the girl's mood became more complicated.

Does she hate? He did hate, but couldn't hate the little boy sitting in front of him.

She at least understands that this little brother layer intends to protect herself, so that she who has lost her family and warmth will suddenly give birth to a stick of warmth.

She hates other barbarians, but this boy is not, he is like family.

Now her mind is in confusion, especially worried about her future. She doesn't know what the boy sitting in front of the sled and the man with the sword will do to herself.
