Chapter 6 kill brother

On the surface, the arduous struggle of the Temujin family is a harmonious picture, and every member spares no effort for the revival of the family.In fact, in isolated situations and poor living conditions, there must be dissonant notes, because some people cannot bear hardships. For Mongolian children, the father is not only the parent, but also the teacher. The early education of Mongolian children comes from the father, and the father has the dual power of guiding and ordering the children.It is a pity that Temujin and his brothers lost their father, and their mother, Hoelun, was running around for a living, so they were completely blank in terms of education.

As the head of the family, Temujin had already had an idea: he had to play the role of father, he didn't know how to educate his younger brothers, but he could order them.Temujin, who was only in his teens, already realized that unity is strength, and the cornerstone of unity as strength is rules. A team without rules and systems is just a gang with no future at all. For this reason, Temujin set many rules for his younger brothers.He said: "During the difficult years, we must have a leader, under the leadership of the leader we advance and retreat together, and no one can go his own way and destroy the atmosphere of unity."

Whenever Temujin instilled this concept in his younger brothers, his half-brother Bekter laughed exaggeratedly.Begter was one year younger than Temujin, but he was bigger than Temujin. In the eyes of outsiders, he looked down on Temujin, especially Temujin's behavior of pretending to be the boss made him sneer. Begter was capricious and selfish, and had long been notorious among his brothers. Even his younger brother, Beligutei, had a bad opinion of him.Bekter violated Temujin’s bottom line everywhere. Temujin asked everyone to go out to work before dawn, but Bekter slept in the tent; Temujin often held meetings to discuss things, but Bekter always refused to participate Temujin forbids everyone to rob others of the fruits of their labor, and Begter always takes it as a pleasure to rob his brothers, without organization and discipline.Facing this loose and free part of the family machine, Temujin clenched his fists and vowed to teach this rebellious younger brother a lesson.

He told his mother about this idea, Hoelun was already exhausted after a day's work, but after hearing Temujin's words, he immediately regained his energy, which was a kind of tension and irritation.She said to Temujin: "You are blood brothers, you want to be united, how can you have such a hateful idea?" Temujin said: "A family and organization must have discipline, and everyone should observe discipline, but Begter always violates discipline." Hoelun waved her hand to signal Temujin not to continue, and finally she ended the brief conversation with one sentence: "You must be united, and there must be no gaps."

Temujin was a dutiful son, so he obeyed his mother's orders for the time being, but two consecutive incidents made him secretly determined to teach Begter a lesson. It was a clear autumn day. Temujin’s younger brother Khasar shot down a skylark with a loud arrow given by Jamuka. When he was bouncing back to the yurt to show off with the skylark, he met Bekter on the way.When Begter saw the skylark in Khasar's hand, his eyes went straight.This is easy to understand, without superb archery skills, no one can do anything against Lark.And He Sa'er is very talented in archery, and he is already a sharpshooter at a young age, so in the family, he is the only one who can shoot down the skylark.

Begter took out his long-tempered hooligan appearance, stretched out his hand, and shouted at Hesar: "Bring it!" He Sa'er hurriedly hid the lark behind him, and said in a trembling voice, "No! I will give it to my lord mother." Begter yelled and rushed towards Hesaer, and the two wrestled together.At this moment, Temujin came, and he yelled "Stop!" Khasar obediently let go of Begter, but Begter was still attacking the skylark.Khasar couldn't resist anymore, so he threw Lark to Temujin.Begter seemed to be crazy, rushed to Temujin, punched Temujin in the face, and finally managed to grab Lark.

Temujin covered his face, furious, and pointed at Begter: "You still dare to rob me?!" Begter had never taken this elder brother seriously, but this was the first time he had snatched something from Temujin.He was indeed a bit guilty, so he stuck his neck and answered Temujin's question with a hooligan thinking: "This is Gasaer's, how did it become yours?" Temujin was speechless, and Begter walked away.On the way, he thought that Temujin had been punched by him. He was nervous at first, and then he couldn't help laughing when he thought of Temujin's speechless appearance. It turns out that this guy who always pretends to be the boss is nothing more than that!He only thought of this, and the next thought was, should he enjoy this skylark alone, or should he share some with his mother and younger brother Bili Gutai?

That night, Temujin and Khasar complained to his mother with a swollen face. Hoelun hated this topic, so he reiterated her point: everyone should be united and there should be no gaps.To demonstrate the power of unity, Hoelun also gave Temujin a mock lesson.She threw an arrow at Temujin's feet and said, "Break it." Temujin snapped it off easily. She threw ten more arrows in front of him and said, "Break it again." Temujin exerted all his strength, but he didn't break it. Hoelun pointed to the ten arrows in Temujin's hand and said, "Look, unity is strength."

Temujin was unmoved. In his view, Begter's anarchist ideas were draining unity. After coming out of his mother's tent, Ghasa'er pouted and said, "Mother and mud." Temujin gritted his teeth and said, "Give him another chance!" Khasar didn't understand, and was about to ask, but Temujin had already strode away. Soon, Khasar understood the meaning of his brother Temujin's words. The temperature on the Mongolian grasslands in autumn is much lower. At night, frost has fallen, and a thin layer of ice begins to form on the river surface. Only at noon, under the strong light, the ice melts. nice fish.

A few days after the skylark incident, Temujin and Khasar caught a big golden fish by the river. When they were happy, Begter came. Seeing the big fish in Temujin's hands, his eyes froze again.Almost instinctively, he rushed up and grabbed it.Temujin defended his fish fiercely, but he didn't have Begter's strength and perseverance, so the fish soon fell into Begter's hands. Temujin stared at him like death staring at his target.Begter didn't notice the light of death, and walked away shaking his head. In the evening, Temujin and Ghasaer complained to Hoelun again, and Hoelun was exhausted, and all along, she believed that Begter's behavior was just a child's mischief, not as serious as what Temujin said.So she still wants Temujin to unite with his younger brothers so that there is no gap.

After Temujin came out of his mother's tent, he pulled Khasar to a corner with a gloomy face, and asked each word, "Do you dare to kill Begter?" He Sa'er opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time.Temujin first reasoned with his younger brother: Begter has repeatedly robbed us of our things, if he is allowed to go on like this, there will be no rules in this family.Didn't my mother often say, shall we be united?There must be discipline in order to be united. If Begter has no discipline, we should kill him. Ghasa'er was still opening his mouth, he was shocked by his brother's decision.Temujin didn't give him a chance to react, but said to Ghasa'er in a commanding tone: "Tomorrow, find a chance to kill him." Backstabbing is difficult to prevent because people in the open are unprepared, and more importantly, people who use backstabbing to hurt people are always paying attention to the target, so there are a lot of opportunities. The next day, Temujin and Khasar carried bows and arrows and looked around for Begter.On a hillside surrounded by green grass, they found Begter. Temujin made a plan right away, sneaking up on Begter from behind, while Khasar approached him from the front of Begter.The two crawled forward in the dense grass, slowly approaching the target, just like a hunter approaching the prey cautiously not to disturb the prey prematurely.Begter was leisurely on the hillside, whistling, not aware of the approaching danger at all. When he got close to a certain distance and determined that Begter could not escape no matter what, Temujin put the arrow on the string and gave a signal. He stood up with Ghasaer and aimed at the biggest prey they had ever seen in their lives. Begter saw Ghasaer's full bow first, turned his head involuntarily, and then saw Temujin's bow and arrow pointing at him. The arrowhead on the string was shining brightly in the sun. It was exactly what Temujin was carrying with him. That snapping arrow. From the angry eyes of the two, he understood everything.This is not a prank between brothers, but a life-and-death confrontation between the enemy and ourselves. He has no way to escape, because the distance is too close, and Hesar is a sharpshooter. At this moment, he can only use his emotional offensive as a living horse doctor.He looked at Temujin and asked: "We are brothers raised by one father, do you have the heart to kill my brother?" Temujin pulled the bowstring to his bosom again.Begter found this trick was useless, and said to Chen Dayi: "Your enemy is not me, we have the same enemy, that is Taichi Wubu. We should unite to avenge them instead of killing each other. How can you two Think of me as the sand in your eyes and the bone in your throat?" There was no reply, Temujin stared at him coldly, as if staring at a sworn enemy.He finally gave up, and said to Temujin in a different tone: "Don't kill my brother Biligutai." Temujin whispered a word: "Okay!" Released his three fingers, and the arrow shot out.At the same time, the arrow that Hasa'er had already aimed at the back of the prey also shot out. Begter died. He was the first to pay the price for violating Temujin's authority, but as you know, he was by no means the last. Although Begter had been killed, the murderous look was still on Temujin's face.When he returned to the yurt to meet his mother, Hoelun immediately understood what had happened.She severely scolded the two brothers: "You are murderous devils, not as good as beasts, you are so stupid. Now you have no friends and helpers except shadows, and you still want to kill your brothers. I am afraid that you will not be able to avenge the Taichiwu tribe In this life, I will watch you live in humiliation until you die." Temujin did not refute, because neither he nor his younger brothers were sure of one thing: Temujin's authority cannot be challenged, and now, Temujin is the authority of the family. Temujin's murder of his younger brother reveals an important message: the would-be conqueror already possessed the ruthlessness necessary for victory and leadership in his teenage years.
