After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the male protagonist is not allowed to ge

At the end of January, when the whole country officially enters the depths of winter, the land in the entire Daxingan Mountains is covered almost every day by the new white snowflakes that fell last night.

In the alpine region at an altitude of 500 meters, the temperature here basically does not exceed minus [-] degrees during the day.

However, under the severe cold and harsh natural climate, various wild animals including deer, roe deer, tiger, wild boar, bear and so on live in this vast mountain. Due to the peculiar terrain and rich soil, criss-crossing rivers run through the mountain. Let countless oily, fresh fat fishes also lurk under the ice in winter, which can be used by the local people of the ethnic group, Shiwei, to hunt and spend the whole winter.

"Master Luji! Master Luji! Shoot the arrow! The roe deer is right there!"

In the white snow, a minority child riding on the back of an adult reindeer is shouting excitedly in a strange language. This language is the Oroqen language commonly used by local people, and there are few outsiders able to learn.

At this moment, take a closer look at the child's clothes of a foreign race. The fluffy brown roe deer fur hat wraps his red face, and the spring pattern fur national costume on his body is obviously a member of the legendary Shilu tribe.

And the master Lu Ji he was talking about was an old man with snow-white hair, but a strong and tall man like a snow wolf, but apart from the old man's traditional national costumes similar to that of the child and the beautiful reindeer he was riding, The most eye-catching thing is the wolf bone bow and arrow on his back.

"Stupid boy like roe deer and roe deer, don't quarrel! If you quarrel again, Master Lu Ji's prey will be gone!"

He lowered his voice and scolded the noisy child in a rough voice. Master Luji, who drove the reindeer to catch up with his prey, said so, he set up his bow and arrow and narrowed his sharp and cold eyes like a jungle beast.

He is a well-known local old hunter of the Oroqen. When he was younger, let alone such a roe deer, it was the famous and ferocious Baorikan in the depths of the forest. Uta could do everything else. Easily hunt down one.

Now that he is old, it has become one of his responsibilities and hobbies to educate these children to learn the most basic hunting techniques.

And thinking in this way, the expressionless master Lu Ji aimed the shining arrow at a roe deer ten meters away that was still jumping in the snow, and then he immediately let go of the two One finger shot the arrow without hesitation, and the whole head of the roe deer, which could feed the entire family of three Xianrenzhu families, fell down in the snow in the distance.

"Oh! Master Lu Ji is too powerful!"

The child who came out hunting with the old man for the first time clapped his hands excitedly. Master Lu Ji also showed a slightly smug smile when he saw this, but when the two of them were driving the reindeer to go up to collect the prey, they found that a litter hadn't grown yet. The big rabbit was shivering while hiding in a small tree hole, and the child, who wanted to try the feeling of shooting the prey, pulled out his own bow and arrow from behind.

"Stop it! Who gave you permission to do this! You stupid boy!"

Seeing the child's reckless behavior, he widened his eyes. Master Lu Ji's voice was very loud. Such a roar startled the excited child immediately, and the arrow in his hand fell to the ground.

Seeing this stupid fat boy almost crying with fright, Master Lu Ji, who knew he hadn't made it clear just now, managed to calm down his expression, and then he first walked down the deer himself to tie up the adult roe deer Putting it on the deer's back, he gently hugged and carefully stuffed the dying rabbit into his fur clothes.

"Ge Dong, even if you become a hunter in the future, please always remember that a truly powerful hunter is absolutely not allowed to kill immature or pregnant animals! Fighting between adult animals Hunting is the law of the forest, either we eat their flesh to survive, or they eat our flesh to survive, but it is a sin to maliciously take the lives of mothers and children, after all we have the right to live in the forest, and so do they... So, take these rabbits back to me later, and take them to the daughter of Huasang’s family to raise them, and tell her to put them back when spring comes, do you understand?”

"Okay... Got it..."

After being taught such a lesson by the elders, although Ge Dong didn't understand half of his mind, he nodded obediently and rode his own reindeer to follow Master Lu Ji back to their tribe in the deeper mountains. The two of them slowly crossed the large snow-covered tall bushes, and at the end of the forest appeared roe deer skin huts that looked like umbrellas spread out on the snow.

This kind of forest hut, also called Cuoluozi in Chinese, looks simple and unsurprisingly simple, but it has been inhabited by many hunting peoples in the Northeast since ancient times.

There are generally simple berths 'Takeda' and 'Olu' in the shed, and there are also inner berths 'Malu' for male guests to drink and enjoy the fire when they come to the door. The most traditional Oroqen people are usually placed above the center of the Malu. Artificial furniture items - four or five birch bark boxes. These boxes enshrine the shamanism gods that every local household believes in. In fact, the Oroqen people in the various branches of the Aershan Mountains have different god beliefs .

"Master Lu Ji, you are back! What did Ge Dong learn from the master today?"

Oncoming women wrapped in fur clothes greeted their grandfather and grandson with a smile in the Oroqen language. Ge Dong was a little embarrassed when he heard the words, and could only shyly hold the deer in his hand while giggling. Walk behind Grandpa.

And when passing by the door of Huasang's family that Master Lu Ji just mentioned, Ge Dong, who was far away, saw a little girl wearing a white fur hat squatting in the snow to help her family wash their skins, and immediately he hugged the girl A litter of little rabbits and a bit of roe deer meat cut off by his grandfather ran up to talk to the little girl.

"Sangsang! This is the rabbit that Master Lu Ji picked up! I brought it back for you specially! There is still meat! I beat it! Do you like it! Am I particularly powerful!"

Panting, he ran up to the little girl and opened his mouth with a smile. The bragging Ge Dong squatted in front of Sangsang, a girl of the same age as him, and held the litter of rabbits like offering treasures, but he didn't look at them. Seeing that the girl showed a happy expression as he had imagined, she immediately pouted her mouth a little aggrieved. Before Ge Dong could speak, he watched Sangsang take the litter of little rabbits and touched them. He squinted his eyes and pouted mockingly,

"Ge Dong! You must be bragging again! You carry all the bows and arrows on your back! Where did you get the prey you hunted yourself? If you talk nonsense, I will tell your grandfather! Do you believe it or not!"

"Ah! Don't tell him! I'm leaving, I'm leaving! Beautiful Sangsang, kind Sangsang, don't tell him!"

As soon as she was frightened for a little bit, she immediately stood up and ran away. The girl named Sangsang smiled with two dimples on her face. Cuo Luozi, who was about to go back home, said sorry to his grandfather Huasang about the things he had just delivered to his grandfather.

It's just that when she was about to reach the roe-skin shed, the girl's footsteps stopped inexplicably, a red cloud appeared on her immature face unconsciously, and her expression hesitated for a while, and then she saw her tiptoeing. Walking from the edge of the snow field, he lifted a corner of the robe leather with his rough little fingers due to years of work, and looked expectantly into the room where the bonfire was faintly lit.

"Are you going to continue to Aershan in the next period of time?"

Sangsang heard his grandfather Huasang talking.

"...I have been looking for it for more than a month, and there is no reason not to continue."

This is a relatively young voice, and it sounds like a very standard Oroqen local language. The deliberately long and lazy voice feels very strange, and the young Sangsang heard this. The voice blushed immediately.

It's really nice... Lu Lang's voice is really nice.

With a sincere compliment in her heart, Sangsang secretly called the man who had been in the deer department for more than a month Lu Lang, but in fact the girl didn't know the man's real name until now.

All she knew was that the man in the fur cloak seemed to have come from a distant mountain, and it happened to be a snowy night. Master Lu Ji's sons were usually the greatest hunters in their tribe, but they didn't dare to break into this place casually. The Han man who entered here was killed with one arrow, but he returned with the man in a daze as if he had been bewitched by something evil.

What's more, that night, this man had a very rare chance to meet with Sangsang's grandfather, Huasang, the head of their branch, and then stayed at Sangsang's house for a whole night.

No one knew exactly what they were talking about, but that night, Sangsang's parents and grandfather were busy all night because of it.

They solemnly told Sangsang to go to sleep with Chu Luozi next to him and never come here, but Sangsang, who was so flustered that she couldn't sleep, still sneaked a look.

Through the dim light of the fire and the small crack, she first smelled a bloody and terrifying smell, and then her sight became clear.

The man lying on the road with his back naked can't see the exact face, but anyone can see that he is very, very painful at the moment.

But when the bonfire gradually illuminated the tattoo lines on his pale body like colorful oil paint, Sangsang's face turned red quickly, and then she saw a terrifying and unbelievable thing scene.

His grandfather Huasang, a well-known birch craftsman in the family, slowly slit the man's back with a sharp knife with a shaman totem painted on the handle, and the man who couldn't see his face clearly was awake, But he lowered his head motionlessly and let his grandfather do what he did.

When ferocious blood slid down his trembling waist little by little, Sangsang saw her mother hand over a piece of birch wood treated like a human back to his grandfather.

But his grandfather solemnly took out a piece of gray flesh that was eaten away by something terrible from the man's back, sighed, and put the piece of birch wood in a strange way under Sangsang's horrified eyes. into the man's body.

"...Thank you, Master Birch, I seem to be born again at this moment."

The voice of the man whose wound was stitched up by Sangsang's father sounded weak but full of joy and relief. Sangsang's grandfather didn't answer when he heard the words, and only put a black spring embroidered on the side of the road. He handed the dark red fur-collared clothes to the man, lit the lamp and opened the old box of his own god, and slowly took out a birch mask of the shaman god with red eyes and white leather antlers painted on it.

"Put this deer man's mask on your face for the time being. There are still people in the clan who don't know the situation. The puzzled eyes will inevitably make you uncomfortable. The shaman gods that our branch believes in are Spring God and Lu Lang , they will bless you to achieve your wish... When you find your own poppy, at least you can drag everything in front of you for more than three years..."

"Well, three years is enough..."

After speaking, he changed the bloody clothes on his body little by little, and the man in the red spring pattern fur belt and Lulang mask, under the sympathetic gaze of Sangsang, knelt devoutly in front of Sangsang. Thank you in front of grandpa and parents.

And when it was just dawn the next day, when this man whose face was barely seen by the people in the clan last night, came out of Huasang's house, he had to go up the mountain every day to find him. Some weird itinerary, sometimes it takes three days, sometimes it takes five days, but every time he comes back, he is destined to be bruised and tired.

"Sangsang... What are you doing standing outside? Come in quickly."

Huasang's voice woke the girl up suddenly, because her grandfather exposed her peeping at Lu Lang, Sangsang blushed unconsciously, and walked into the shed with the rabbit and meat in her arms. She ran to her grandfather to talk about the matter, and when she raised her head inadvertently, she saw Lu Lang who she hadn't had time to formally say a word.

Lu Lang still wore the mask of the legendary shaman god on his face, but through this gorgeous and unreal mask, Sangsang felt that he was smiling at the moment, and was looking at her with a very gentle smile.

"So the little girl's name is Sangsang?" Lu Lang said suddenly.

"Yes, his mother got it for her." His grandfather also nodded and replied.

"It sounds so nice, and she looks very much like my mother... The girl in my family is not as well-behaved and sensible as Sangsang. Before I came here, she kept losing her temper and said that I would not bring her here and never talk to me again. She is obviously about the same age as Sangsang, there is really too much difference..."

Lu Lang pretended to complain like a silly father who was thinking about his daughter. Sangsang was immediately dumbfounded when he heard it. He was surprised that Lu Lang was already as old as his father and had his own daughter. There is also a bit of unconcealable loss and sadness.

But her grandfather didn't notice this change in her mood. He just talked and laughed with Lu Lang while warming up the fire. During this period, Sangsang, who was sitting by the side in a daze, actually learned a little bit about Lu Lang.

For example, the reason why Lu Lang can speak their Oroqen language is because he had to face books due to illness for a long time in the past. During that time, he learned many special and rare languages. This helped him a lot after his hometown.

Another example is that Lu Lang actually has a lover. It is for his lover that he searched all over the world for a way to continue living. Even though he really wanted to go back and see him, he was afraid that it would be because of his The short meeting that happened due to weakness is doomed to face a permanent parting.

And until the day was about to set, when Lu Lang stood up to bid farewell and was about to go to the mountains, Sangsang, who had been depressed all afternoon, suddenly ran after him out of his house, and then chased after him embarrassingly. He tugged at the hem of his clothes.

"En? What's the matter, Sangsang?"

The man who was loosening his strong reindeer rope looked down at her suspiciously.

"Can you tell me... your name too?"

The little girl standing in front of the man blushed and mustered up the courage to ask.

"my name?"

Asked this question inexplicably, the man in red who was already riding on the back of the reindeer was obviously a little surprised, but seeing Sangsang looking at him so persistently, he also tilted his head in silence and thought for a long time. Cai bent down and touched the top of her soft hair with his cold palm, and let out a low laugh through the mask of the shaman god.

"My real name cannot be pronounced in your Oroqen language, but the Chinese pronunciation of one word in it is the same as that of your god, so if you don't know what to call me when you meet next time, you can Take that word as my name...my name is Lu, remember...lovely Sangsang?"
