3-第八章:恐吓外邦人课(4)
打嗝高伯的脸已经发紫了。他的胡子还被绑匪的斧头钉在墙上。胡子是毛霍里根人的骄傲和欢乐所在。对毛霍里根人来说,胡子越红,发量越多,越缠结越好。把一根手指放在另一个毛霍里根人的胡子上,都是一种可怕的侮辱——更不用说用胡子把人钉在墙上了。
“给我报仇!”高伯吼道,试图从斧头里挣脱出来,但只扯掉了几片他宝贵的胡须。“伟大的史图依克酋长要是听说你偷走了他的继承人,还毁了我的胡子,他就会向沼泽飞贼宣战的!”
“他们不是沼泽飞贼。”小嗝嗝警告过,“沼泽飞贼都是女人。而他们不是。看!那个人的胸部刚刚才鼓起来的。这些都是罗马人!一定要把这些告诉我父亲——”
第一个绑匪用一只大手捂住小嗝嗝的嘴。但他不需要。高伯根本没在听小嗝嗝。十分钟前他也像史图依克一样暴怒。
“那些沼泽飞贼会后悔自己胆敢惹毛打嗝高伯的胡子!好啊,我这就去找头儿!”
“快去啊。”第一个绑匪咧嘴一笑,绑匪二人带着小嗝嗝和鱼脚司离开了房间。
8. THE FRIGHTENING FOREIGNERS LESSON
It was a glorious, blue, breezy day, but Hiccup had no time to admire it. He ran as fast as he could toward the Great Hall where the Frightening Foreigners lesson was being held. Gobber hadn't arrived yet, so the young barbarians were making a gigantic racket. Sharpknife and Tuffnut Junior were having a swordfight in one corner. The boys' dragons were lying in front of the gigantic fire, snapping and snarling at each other. Snotlout and Dogsbreath the Duhbrain were sitting on Fishlegs while Fireworm set fire to a pile of Fishlegs's workbooks.
