Chapter 14: The Return
In the forest, more than 100 kilometers away from the mine, the old village chief Yao Ziqiang stood silently at the entrance of the village. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The old faces full of ravines were full of worry. Liu Han and the others who went out to hunt have not heard from them for five days, and according to the usual practice of the Xia people's village, when there is still no news of the night watchman who went out to hunt at sunset on the fifth day, the village will be relocated, so as not to betray those who were caught and bring people to the village.
It doesn't matter if it's not the hunting party being caught. Because the night watchman knew where the village would move next.
The village will move out again five days later, but this time to prevent the Night's Watch from betraying the people.
In order to survive, these Xia people can be said to be extremely cautious, after all, a beautiful Xia slave girl can be sold for ten gold dinars, and a strong Xia slave who is hardworking and steady, meticulous and serious and does not cause trouble is also worth five gold dinars.
This is a price that is enough for a slave family to live for a year! It is also a price that all slave hunters cannot refuse, so whether it is a slave or a slave hunting team, once they find the Xia people, they will want to go crazy.
"Village Chief, Brother Liu, haven't they come back yet?" A neat but washed cloth skirt walked to Yao Ziqiang's side, and the delicate little face was also full of worry. It was the girl Xiaohua that Liu Han and Lin Hai chased at the same time.
Yao Ziqiang looked at the sun that was about to fall into the horizon, sighed and turned to leave.
The only sound in the air was his somewhat tired and old voice
"Preparing for the ..... of Migration"
The people of the village, accustomed to migrating every once in a while, silently began to return to their wooden hut made of tree trunks and felt straw to pack their things. In order to facilitate migration, the Xia people even pointed out the black technology of manufacturing portable prefabricated houses, which are easy to disassemble and install by using wooden tenons to fix and splice houses, which is very convenient.
Yao Ziqiang came to the largest wooden house in the center of the village and kowtowed respectfully to a yellowed portrait hanging on the wall
"Ancestors... If... If you know something, save us poor offspring..... We're tired!"
The portrait has a resolute face, wearing a Type 07 combat uniform, and two silver stars on his shoulders are shining.
Yao Ziqiang cried bitterly for a while, and after he calmed down, he wiped his tears, got up from the ground with some difficulty, and carefully rolled up the portrait and solemnly placed it in the wooden box. Just when he was secretly sad when he could have a stable place and not have to work so hard, there was a sudden commotion outside.
Yao Ziqiang frowned, the top priority now is migration, nothing can be postponed, this is the lesson that the Xia people of the past generations have learned with blood and tears!
He was just about to go out and reprimand these villagers who were a little nonsense, when suddenly a shout of joy came from the shadow in his ears
"Brother Liu, they're back!"
Yao Ziqiang was shocked, and pushed open the door with agility that was not commensurate with his age and walked out, although a few people in the distance were full of scars and tired, they could not hide the excitement and excitement on their faces, who were Liu Han and Lin Hai who were not leading the team out to hunt?
It's just a little strange that they are still carrying a stretcher in their hands, and there is a young man who has never seen it before, Yao Ziqiang's original joy in his heart suddenly lost more than half, this Liu Han, how many times has he said, don't bring outsiders to the village, what if he attracts those slave hunters in the future?
Thinking of this, he walked out quickly.
Liu Han put Li Fan down, helped him lean against the trunk of the tree, and after he was done, it was like going to the village chief to report the news, but he didn't expect the village chief to walk towards him with an unswerving face.
Yao Ziqiang pulled Liu Han aside and said dissatisfiedly
"Liu Wa, how many times have I said, don't bring outsiders into the village, you have forgotten the things that used the kindness of the Xia people to find out the village and then the whole village was captured by the slave hunting team, right?
Liu Han touched his head and laughed twice, and then said in a low voice
"Village chief, of course I haven't forgotten what you said, but he is not an outsider, his name is Li Fan, and he is also our clansman! Don't worry, village chief, he is definitely not a member of those slave hunting teams, when we went out hunting before, we were caught by the Tianlong people and locked up in the mine, I thought we were going to die.
And then the village chief, guess what?"
Yao Ziqiang's face changed color suddenly
"You were arrested by the Tianlong people? You still dare to come back? Are you not afraid that there will be Tianlong people hanging behind you and touching our village? Even if the Xia people can't stand this kind of life, there are still fewer people who take the initiative to take refuge in those Tianlong people?
No, you have to move now, and the farther you move, the better!"
Liu Han grabbed the village chief who was about to leave, and mysteriously pointed in the direction where Li Fan was
"Don't be afraid, village chief, we don't have to relocate, let me tell you, that young man, he killed all the Tianlong people in the mine and their dog legs, more than 200 Tianlong people riding dinosaur beasts and dozens of dog legs!"
Yao Ziqiang's eyes were about to bulge out, and he couldn't help but exclaim
"More than 200 Draconians have all killed ???"
Liu Han nodded fiercely
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it! When the Draconians rode the dinosaurus towards him, I thought they were dead, but I didn't expect him to just slap the ground hard, and then the earth shook, and when it calmed down, those Draconians were all crushed to the ground!
Moreover, the little brother said. He wants to join our village!
Liu Han said that his body trembled uncontrollably, and his face was full of bitter hatred and longing
"Village Chief, we have learned the skills of the little brother, are you still afraid of those Tianlong people, sooner or later we will kill them all!"
Yao Ziqiang glanced at Li Fan, who was leaning on the trunk of a tree not far away, with a smile on his face that had become the focus, and then his only grandson was so excited that he couldn't help himself, dancing as the onlookers introduced the shocking scene
A few of these words drifted into Yao Ziqiang's ears
ā.... I just heard the big brother shouting, physics ..... Mop Shoes (Topology) ....."
A strange light suddenly flashed in Yao Ziqiang's eyes, and he slowly paced to Li Fan's side and arched his hand
"Thank you little brother for coming to the rescue, I am very grateful, old man! Although the little brother can rest assured, when he comes to our village, he should come to his own home! ā
Then he shouted to the villagers who were full of excitement
"I'm announcing that we don't have to move for the time being!and!" he paused, smiling gently at the children, whose eyes lit up as if they had thought of a possibility, continued
"In order to celebrate the safe return of Liu Han and the others who successfully escaped from the hands of the Tianlong people, I decided that the festival in five days should be spent in the most grand way, and it is also to welcome the little brother to join our village!"
"Oh!
The villagers cheered heartily.
Li Fan smiled and let these excited children scream as much as they could, he lowered his eyes and secretly wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes.
It feels like home... That's nice
