Chapter 961

    It''s normal for Batu to feel at a loss. Although people''s burial methods on the grassland are similar, the wolf owner is the wolf owner after all. Although he now has only a skin bag, he is respected as the ruler who once controlled the vast area nearby. Although the water antelope relying on the hammer was not closely related to the wolf owner, Batu could not help but respect the fur bag. And when the bag landed, he had no idea what to do next.


    The rest of the team, including KAILAS, who has a deep understanding of grassland customs, did not speak and turned their eyes to nuisa. Anyway, it was her father, and she was the only one here who had the right to make a decision. Whether it is regarded as the will of the spirits or simply regarded as an accident, the power of interpretation is in her hands.


    Nuisa did not immediately respond. She stood up and went to her father''s body, which had begun to rot, and in a day or two she was afraid that even the horses would refuse to carry it again. It is said that the cubs of wild animals will not stay with their dead parents for more than three days, because when the smell of the parents is gone, they will not know what the body is in front of them. In fact, the same is true of human beings. When life passes away from a body, what remains here is just a combination of meat and bones, which no longer has any meaning.


    "Bury him. Bury him here." This is not the same as she had imagined. Originally, her father would have a more ceremonial ending of grassland. He would be put into a shallow pit and be integrated with the earth in the silence and blessing of the people. And then the galloping horse''s hooves will trample the soil, and no one can disturb his peace any more. Now, except for nuissa himself, no one is a member of the deceased''s family, and he will be disconnected from the world in the gaze of strangers. It''s not much better than being exposed in the wilderness.


    Several people looked at each other. It was not that they were taking care of nuisa''s emotions. They just wanted to bury a person. At least they needed to dig a big enough pit, but they didn''t have tools. Tomahawks and machetes are obviously not suitable for digging. The most practical way is to dig a tomb by hand. It is not an easy job. Besides, digging graves for the dead is not something anyone can do. In Cangshi, the work must be handed over to professional grave diggers. On the grassland, the people who dig graves for the dead also pay attention to it.


    Soon, the wolf master''s daughter also realized this, but she did not ask for help. As the only son of the dead present and the leader of the funeral, it was her own duty. Therefore, nuisa squatted down and began to dig out the soil by the place where the body had fallen. The process is not simple. The soil on the grassland seems to be soft. In fact, the rich plant roots make it have a far stronger and stronger structure than expected. Besides, human hands are not as good at digging as animals.


    The slender fingers soon swelled up, and the pink fingernails cracked in the collision of the stones, giving out the red blood. To all this, neusa persisted, ignoring the suffering of her fingers, as if the ten fingers were not hers. The first one who couldn''t see down was ATA. The swordswoman wanted to help, but she was stopped by Batu. It was her father, and no one was qualified to help her dig the grave, because they were not the wolf owner''s people.


    The female swordsman''s eyes were slightly red, and she was pulled aside by keiras to stop her looking. Lothar and batudo looked for a while, closing their eyes slightly and straying. Only cheese watched nuisa''s every move. When a nail fell off her finger and fell into the soil, the mage sighed and quietly took off her shoes and let her feet directly step on the ground.


    The blood stained nails, which had fallen into the soil, were in front of nuisa as if with consciousness. Before she knew what had happened, a slight vibration came from her feet, and the daughter of the wolf owner subconsciously dodged to one side. Then, taking the traces she dug as the center, a pit appeared suddenly. All the sand on the pits fell down as if they were empty. Weeping, even through his hands, nuisa knelt by the pit, chanting praises to the spirits.


    But the rest of the line looked at the grey robe, which was putting on his shoes. Cheese tilted his head and motioned them not to talk. But when nuissa calmed her down, she realized that it might have something to do with the wizard who could spit fog out of her mouth. So she turned around and looked at cheese with a puzzled look.


    "Don''t look at me like that. You offer a sacrifice to the spirit of the earth, and it gives you a response. It''s that simple." The mage said of course. Although it is not right to pretend to be the dancer after having seen the spirit of the earth, I don''t think it will blame the grey robe for it.


    Nuissa is not stupid. Because she has faith in the spirits, she knows clearly that the gods that grassland people believe in are not so easily moved. If only a small nail and a lot of emotion can get the help of the gods, then there won''t be any predators in the world, will there? The spirits are all inclusive, but they are also above everything. If there is no such distance from the world, then how can they contain all the right and wrong in the grassland and even the wider world from a higher place under a starry sky?The wolf master''s daughter looked at the mage with a complicated face. In the latter''s smile, she reluctantly relieved, gave up the idea of further investigation and accepted the result. Silent kindness is often more difficult to repay than practical help, but she has made it in mind and will try to pay it back in the future. Now, it''s more important to put the leather bag in the ground.


    "Shall we know your father''s burial place, really? Generally speaking, in addition to confidants and clansmen, the less people know, the better. " After the completion of the wolf owner''s burial, ATA asked nuissa anxiously that the wolf owner''s daughter was deeply moved by the way she dug the ground with her hands. She did not hope that she could not abide by the grassland tradition after nuisa made such efforts.


    The latter said with a smile, "it doesn''t matter. I''m sure he won''t mind if you know. Besides, it means that no one will come to worship him in the future. This may be the place where the wolf owner can''t compare with ordinary people. His sons are busy now
