Chapter VI Drawing of lots
"Feihong, are you up?" Zhan Feihong was thinking about how to show his abilities in the door of his home little by little, when a knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.
He hurriedly put away the two gold-devouring ants, turned around and opened the door. "Brother Xingyuan, is there anything wrong?" Standing at the door was Zhan Xingyuan, the son of the uncle, with an impatient expression on his face.
"My father told our clansmen to gather in front of the hall, understand?" Zhan Xingyuan said as he turned around and left.
"Brother Xingyuan, can you tell me, what did the uncle tell us to do?" Zhan Feihong listened to his cousin's words, and felt strange, and couldn't help asking.
"I'll have to inform my other siblings and you'll find out then. Zhan Xing didn't look back, and soon disappeared around the corner.
"I don't know what happened to Uncle Uncle's call to us childrenγγγγγγ Zhan Feihong naturally had to go to the order of the house, he quickly washed up, and came to the open space in front of the hall of the Zhan family.
At this time, there were already four or five teenagers gathered in front of the hall, and the most conspicuous of them was the cousin Zhanmang.
"Yo, waste snacks, it's early enough!" Before Zhan Mang could speak, the boy next to him got into trouble first.
Zhan Feihong squinted at the boy, then turned his gaze to Zhan Mang, and did not reply.
"Shut up!" Zhan Mang's eyebrows jumped when Zhan Feihong saw it, and he reached out and slapped the boy's head: "Uncle will come over in a while, what's the matter, let's talk about it when Uncle is gone!"
The boy almost didn't get patted on the head, he rubbed the back of his head, looked at Zhanmang inexplicably, and thought: On weekdays, you take the lead in finding the most trouble, and you never look at the occasion, why did you change sex?!
But after thinking about it, he didn't dare not listen to Zhanmang's words, so he had to shrink his shoulders and stop talking.
The three playmates who witnessed Zhan Mang's beating last time were also beside them, and when they saw Zhan Mang's abnormal behavior, they were a little more convinced of Zhan Feihong's sudden ability, and they turned their heads one by one, closed their mouths, and didn't dare to peek at Zhan Feihong.
For a while, the clearing was quiet, no one made a sound, and it was embarrassing.
Zhan Feihong walked to a tree, leaned his back against the trunk, his eyes fixed on the path by the lobby, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled slightly. Unexpectedly, my cousin, who has always been strong, is also afraid of his own day, which is really feng shui in turn.
Finally, the footsteps of the eldest uncle, the second uncle, and the remaining children of the same generation in the distance broke this embarrassing atmosphere. Zhan Keding walked to the steps, his eyes swept over the juniors in front of the hall, and after making sure that the number of people was not bad, he coughed and shouted: "Silence!"
As soon as this voice came out, the children in front of the hall who had just arrived and were talking to their peers were like a giant gong striking violently in their ears, and they quickly closed their mouths.
Only Zhan Feihong didn't feel anything abnormal, he casually reached out and patted the wood chips on his back, turned around and stood upright.
It's a pity that he turned his back on the two elders, otherwise, Zhan Keding and Zhan Keman would definitely be secretly shocked.
"I'm calling you here today to mention something to you. Zhan Keding saw that the attention of the juniors was focused on him, so he began to say: "The Liu family in Shuyang Town, you must all know it, right?"
After everyone nodded, he continued: "Last night, the Liu family sent a gift list, hoping that our Zhan family can send someone to help them kill a fierce beast!"
"Beast?!" Hearing the word, the children in front of the hall were in chaos again.
"Beast, I've never seen it yet!" cried out one of the children excitedly.
"Haven't you seen it, our brothers and sisters?" said another child.
"I wonder what the beast I dealt with this time looks like?" asked the little girl named "Ling'er" innocently before.
Zhan Ke looked at the excited smiling faces of the juniors, and felt very uncomfortable. But for the sake of the reproduction and prosperity of the family, sometimes, it is necessary to sacrifice, or to sacrificeγγγγγγ
"Okay, all quiet!" Zhan Keman seemed to see the hesitation between Zhan Keding's eyebrows, and hurriedly said: "Listen to the big boss continue to speak!"
Zhan Keding glanced at the second brother uncertainly, and said slowly: "I have already agreed to this invitation, and I will dispatch the two elders of the family! As for why I called you over, I want to choose one of them and go with the elders to open my eyes, so as to save the other two families from saying that the children of our Zhan family have never seen the world!"
When the words fell, the people in front of the hall were excited, their mouths half open, and they couldn't speak. After a few breaths, one of the children shouted, "Uncle, I want to go!"
One person took the lead, several followed, and it didn't take long for the shouts of "I'll go!" to rise and fall through the open space like a wave, getting louder and louder.
"Don't worry, go and line up and draw lots to decide!" Zhan Keman didn't wait for the eldest brother to speak, and took out the box hidden behind his backhand without authorization, and the corresponding number of balls of the juniors present were placed in the box, and the mouth of the box was tightly covered with a black cloth.
Hearing the words of the second uncle, the children lined up in a row like the wind, only Zhan Feihong and Zhan Mang left late and became the last two.
Zhan Feihong is not as naΓ―ve as other children, and when he mentions this matter to his uncle, his brain starts to spin non-stop. And Zhan Mang's attention was all focused on Zhan Feihong, and seeing that he didn't move, he also subconsciously froze in place.
"Brother Mang, please first. Zhan Fei Hongchong next to Zhan Mang smiled and said casually.
"No, no, you come first, I'll just stand behind. Zhan Mang waved his hand in a bit of a panic, since he was opened by a punch, he didn't know what to do with this cousin who had been bullying for four years.
"Then you're welcome. Zhan Feihong wanted to stay in the last place, but a white light flashed in his mind, and he suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he stopped talking nonsense and ranked second to last.
As he saw that the children in front of him were pulling out white balls one by one, the suspicion in the young man's heart became more and more serious.
"It's just the two of you, come on, smoke one. Zhan Ke had a smile on his lips, and his eyes narrowed to watch Zhan Feihong's every move.
Zhan Feihong looked up at the second uncle, and reached into the box through the black cloth.
As soon as his fingers touched down, he touched a round ball. The boy spun his hand around again, but did not meet the other. He couldn't help but want to forget about this, but with a strange aura fluctuating from the corner, he knew that there was something wrong with it.
If it was Zhan Feihong a month ago, he would definitely not have noticed this aura fluctuation.
He tilted his head slightly, as if he was in a dilemma about how to choose, but in fact, his eyes peeked at the hand that held up the box from the second uncle. At this glance, he immediately understood the other party's intentions.
I saw that the second uncle's palm was covered with a very faint white light, because most of it was covered by a black cloth, if you didn't deliberately check it, you really wouldn't notice it.
"How is it, Feihong, have you decided?" it seemed that Zhan Keman was afraid that the time would drag on for a long time, and he would be discovered by others, so he began to urge.
However, Zhan Feihong didn't say a word as if he was stupid, just stood there stiffly.
"Feihong, hurry up, are you still waiting for the result?" Zhan Keman couldn't help but tilt his head a few inches forward when he looked at him, wanting to take a closer look.
"Ahββ!" Unexpectedly, at the same time as he bowed his head, Zhan Feihong screamed violently, only to be so frightened that Zhan Keman almost shook the box to the ground.
Of course, the aura that controlled the orb was also interrupted by this exclamation. The boy took this opportunity to quickly pull out the corresponding position of Zhan Keman's palm, and sure enough, he touched the other round ball.
"Second uncle, Feihong has chosen!" Without waiting for Zhan Keman to react, he took out the ball without hesitation.
"You, you-" Zhan Keman looked at the white ball in Feihong's hand, and a layer of white sweat instantly appeared on the back of his neck.
Now only his own son Zhanmang is left who has not drawn lots, and what kind of strength is this lottery, it must be red!
Let his son and the two old ghosts go to the Hidden Cangshan Mountainγγγγγγ οΌ
Zhan Keman's eyes suddenly carried a layer of killing intent, and he couldn't wait to strangle the three nephews in front of him to death immediately!
"Since Fei Hong is smoking a white ball, Mang'er, you can go with the two elders. But before he lost his temper, Zhan Keding on the side blocked in front of him, and said to the juniors: "This matter is so decided, let's disperse!" After speaking, he took Zhan Keman's arm and left first.
With Zhan Keman's reddened eyes just now, Zhan Feihong was even more sure that helping the Liu family slaughter the fierce beasts this time was by no means as simple as the uncle said, but fortunately, his heart turned quickly and he found the problem, otherwise he might have to suffer.
"Heh, since Brother Mang is for me, presumably the second uncle will try his best to ensure safety, but I don't know what hardships he will suffer. The boy smiled lightly, glanced at Zhan Mang, who was about to leave with his playmates in the distance, and walked alone to the way back to the house.
γγγγγγ
"Big brother, you can't let Mang'er go!" Zhan Ke looked full of tears and mourning, and begged Zhan Keding.
"You came up with this idea in the first place, why do you want to regret it?" Zhan Keding walked to the table, poured a cup of tea, and looked at his second brother coldly.
"I know it's me, but γγγγγγ Zhan Keman didn't know what to say, he never thought that Zhan Feihong, a fourteen and a half boy, would be able to see through his tricks and return the favor to him.
"Anyway, Man'er can't go!" he begged again.
"What, your son can't go, can the third brother's son go?" Zhan Keding said with a gloomy face: "Don't think I don't know the little flower intestines in your stomach, you made such a move, don't you just want to take the opportunity to kill him and take that five-star spirit beast!"
When Zhan Keman heard his eldest brother's words, his face changed greatly, he couldn't think of three breaths, gritted his teeth, and knelt on the ground with a "poof". "Big brother, big brother, I was wrong, I am guilty!"
Hearing only two "pop" crisp sounds, Zhan Keman did not hesitate to smack his mouth twice, his eyes were red, and tears oozed from the corners of his eyes.
"I just ask the eldest brother to let Mang'er go, he is our Zhan family-hope!"
