“No!”Hecouldfeeltearswellinginhiseyes,andhelookedaway.He didnot want to cry in frontofhisfather.
“不要！”他的泪水开始在眼眶里打转，所以他转过头，不想让父亲看到他哭了。

罗柏仍在固执地抵抗，“罗德里克爵士家那头红母狗上礼拜才生产，”他说，“那胎死了不少金温高铁 ，只有两只小狗活了下来，她的奶水应该够它们喝。”
“She’llripthemapartwhentheytrytonurse.”
“它们一旦接近她，就会被她撕成碎片的。”
“LordStark,”Jonsaid.ItwasstrangetohearhimcallFatherthat,so formal.Bran looked at himwithdesperatehope.“Therearefivepups,” hetoldFather.“Threemale,twofemale.”
“史塔克大人，”琼恩叫道，听到他这样正式地叫父亲，着实很奇怪。布兰抱着最后一丝希望看向他。“总共有五只小狼，”他说，“三只公的，两只母的。”
“Whatofit,Jon?”
“这有什么意义吗，琼恩？”
“Youhavefivetruebornchildren,”Jonsaid.“Threesons,two daughters.Thedirewolf is the sigilofyourHouse.Yourchildrenwere meanttohavethesepups,mylord.”
“您有五个孩子云之歌 ，”琼恩说，“三个儿子，两个女儿，而冰原狼又是您家家徽，您的孩子们注定要拥有这些小狼。”

The count had come right only because Jon had omitted himself. He had included the girls, included even Rickon, the baby, but not the bastard who bore the surname Snow, the name that custom decreed be given yo all those in the north unlucky enough to be born with no name of their own.
布兰看到自己父亲脸色骤转，而其他人也都偷偷交换着眼神都市藏娇 。此刻他全心全意地爱着琼恩。尽管只有七岁，布兰很清楚自己的哥哥这样做的意思，他得把自己排除在父亲子嗣之外，如此才能刚好凑成数，他把两个女孩儿都算进去了允昌卡盟 ，甚至把襁褓中的小瑞肯都算进去了，但他没有算被冠上私生子姓氏的自己。雪诺，这个姓氏是给那些在北方出生，却不幸没有父亲的人用的。
Theirfatherunderstoodaswell.“Youwantnopupforyourself,Jon?” heaskedsoftly.
父亲显然明白这点，他柔声问：“琼恩，你自己不想要小狼吗？”
“ThedirewolfgracesthebannersofHouseStark,”Jonpointedout.“I amnoStark,Father.”
“冰原狼是史塔克家族的标志，”琼恩指出，“而我，并非史塔克一员。”

父亲若有所思地看着琼恩，罗柏急切地打破了沉静，“父亲，我会亲自抚育它，”他保证道，“我会用浸过热牛奶的湿毛巾喂它陈显宝 。”
“Metoo!”Branechoed.
"我也会！"布兰回应说。

公爵意味深长地看了他的儿子们一眼，“说着容易涟水人才网 ，要做到可难，我不会允许你们占用仆人们的时间，如果你们要养这些小狼，一切都得亲力亲为，知道吗？”

布兰急忙点头。蜷缩在它怀里的小狼，伸出温热的舌头舔了他一下。

“你们还得自己训练它们，”父亲说，“我保证驯兽长与这些怪兽毫无瓜葛，倘若你们把它们训练得残忍成性，或有什么闪失，那么就请诸神保佑吧！这些可不是会卖乖讨好人的狗，也不是随便一脚就能打发的角色。冰原狼要扯下人的胳膊就和狗杀老鼠一样简单，你们确定要养它们？”
“Yes,Father,”Bransaid.
“是的，父亲。”布兰说。
“Yes,”Robbagreed.
“是的，”罗柏也同意了。
“Thepupsmaydieanyway,despiteallyoudo.”
“即使你们费尽苦心，这些小狼也有夭折的可能。”
“Theywon’tdie,”Robbsaid.“Wewon’tletthemdie.”
“不会的，”罗柏说，“我们不会让它们夭折的。”
“Keepthem,then.Jory威固官网 ,Desmond,gatheruptheotherpups.It’stime wewereback to Winterfell.”
“那就留着它们吧，乔里，戴斯蒙，把其他几只小狼也带着，我们要回城了。”

一直到他们骑马踏上归程，布兰才允许自己享受胜利的喜悦。他的小狼正安全的藏在他的皮护甲里，他不禁开始想该为他取什么名字。

走到桥中间，琼恩突然勒住马缰。

“怎么了前妻回家 ，琼恩？”父亲问道。
“Can’tyouhearit?”
“你们没听到了吗？”

布兰只听到林间风声和达达马蹄，还有怀里待哺小狼的嗷嗷，但琼恩正侧耳倾听着别的声音。

“在那！”琼恩喊道，他掉转马头，疾驰过桥，大伙看着他在母狼尸体旁下马，然后屈膝跪下，一会儿后他骑着马回来了，他满脸微笑。

“或是被赶开了，”父亲看着这第六只小狼说道。他毛色净白，眼瞳红如早上死囚的鲜血，而其他的小狼则多半灰黑。布兰也很好奇，为何其他小狼眼睛都没睁开，唯独它，早已双目炯炯。
“Analbino,”TheonGreyjoysaidwithwryamusement.“Thisonewill dieevenfasterthan the others.”
“白子，”席恩-葛雷乔伊这话里带着玩味十足地讥讽，“只怕它会死得比其他几只更快。”

琼恩给了这位他父亲的养子一个冷绝而意味深长凝视，“我可不这样认为，葛雷乔伊，”他说，“这只可是我的狼。”
