POV4 Twilight 06
Inside the council chamber, a beating fire flickered on people's faces. The women and the Ahabs formed a circle in the hall with bows, arrows and spears in hand. Surrounded all the women and children in the tun in the middle.
The long howl rang out again, noticeably closer than the last...... This howl was not the same as the wolf howl and tiger howl that people are accustomed to, and it seemed more like the hysterical scream of a man in the midst of sorrow and anger, and this howl was like a file, and it fell to the ground to wear away the armor that protected the hearts of the people.
The spear on the outermost part of the defensive circle began to tremble......
Twilight stood behind her spear, her bow clasped with an armor-piercing arrow. Although it is said that only an iron-tired hard bow can penetrate the weakest leather mask on the face of a human bear, at this moment, all the people in the hall who can open the bow have picked up the bow without exception, and it is not the habit of the people of Su to sit and wait for death......
However, as the howls got closer, Twilight's hands began to tremble. The two human faces glued to the horse's head resurfaced in front of her eyes again, and the hideousness of the human faces due to their hollowness and distortion lingered in her mind, lingering more and more......
"It's okay, I'll tell you a secret..."Twilight's ears tingled, and the big bear behind her whispered to her again.
Twilight looked back and noticed a shallow smile on his lips.
"I've killed a man-bear, and that's what I used." The bear patted the three-eyed gun in his arms.
Although Twilight Rain was already in turmoil at this time, she still pouted at this Aha, who couldn't figure out whether she was a good or a stupid person.
"Kill a bear with shell powder?" She whispered back angrily.
"Uh...... At that time, there was real gunpowder in the gunpowder......"
"Gunpowder? That's the material that the imperial court has banned from being exported to Su, where did you get your gunpowder? ”
Before he could say this, he was interrupted by the sound of heavy footsteps outside the council chamber......
"Knock knock......" footsteps rang out around the chamber.
"Ho-ho-ho-......" footsteps, and a series of low sneers sounded......
"Ahh A high-ranking woman, Ahha, threw away the spear in her hand and fell to her knees on the ground, her hands plugged her ears and she began to cry.
"Ho-ho-ho!" The laughter grew louder.
Fear emanated from the top of everyone's heads, mingling in the cramped chamber and burrowing back into the bodies of the crowd without distinguishing from the other.
The silent sobs of the women and children gradually merged into a loud cry.
These voices were like a gust of wind, which made the outermost circle of guns tremble......
"Enough! Shut up! Whoever cries again, I will cut him! Old Marfa shouted, rushed out of the circle, pointed his knife at the crowd and shouted.
"For thousands of years, who have we been afraid of? Between this Shagen Cailing and Peony Ula, our Zhanghu Tower is the king! Old Marfa's knife swept over the trembling tip of the spear in turn.
"Get out of the way! They can be killed by enemies, but they can't be scared to death by themselves! He shouted with all his might.
Suddenly, a brownish-red giant monster slammed open the door of the council chamber and rushed in, and before everyone could react, it rushed out of the hall again. However, the old Marfa, who was still raising his arms and shouting just now, also disappeared together!
Everyone was so shocked that they couldn't say a word, and they all stared blankly at the night outside the hall, letting the night wind whizz into the hall with broken snow.
Gollum, an object was thrown in through the door. After rolling on the ground a few times, he stopped at the position where Old Marfa had just stood in front of the circle.
"Ah!!!h
There was a burst of exclamations in the circle, and it was the head of Old Marfa who was thrown in through the door—no face, only a hollow blur of flesh and blood.
The circle loosened spasmodically in exclamation, the spears staggered to the ground, and a few frightened feathered arrows scattered into the darkness outside the hall.
"Can't mess around! Hold on! Hold on! The spearmen leaned tighter! The archer re-mounts the arrow, sees it clearly and shoots again! ”
Ahha, the prisoner of war of the Twilight Rain family, stood at the apex of the circle near the hall door and shouted loudly, but at this time, the circle was already irrepressibly chaotic.
Most of the women and Aha fled backwards into the crowd, only five or six spears lined up in a thin horizontal line, covering the seven or eight bows behind them, and confronted the unknown outside the door feebly.
At this time, a big hole suddenly appeared in the wall behind everyone, and a big hand full of red hair stretched out from the hole, and the hall wall made of birch wood seemed to be pinched in mud in front of this big hand, and a big hole more than eight feet high was broken out in three or two clicks.
The crowd against the wall scattered in an instant, and Twilight Rain hurriedly turned around, and through the chaos of people, she saw a huge face covered with red hair poking through the hole in the wall, and the huge body squeezed through the wall, slowly straightening up in the hall, and it was really nearly a foot high.
Here it comes! This is the legendary Alrth! It's the forest giant that has disrupted the dreams of generations of children—the man-bear! Twilight Rain froze, pulled the bowstring, and shot an arrow at Da Mao's face not far away.
An arrow off the string, although it was sent at an urgent moment, but the feel was excellent, the forehand firmly supported the bow, and there was no slightest sense of dragging mud and water when throwing the bow, and the twilight rain even briefly forgot the danger, and secretly cheered for himself.
The arrow accurately hit the armor made of the same type of fur on the face of the man-bear. There was a snap and it bounced off......
At the same time, several more arrows hit the head and torso of the man-bear, but without exception, they were all bounced away. With a big hand, the man and bear grabbed a few spears that had been pierced, and pouted them into several sections.
Looking at the trembling women and children at its feet, it let out a smug howl. The blood-red eyes swept slowly, as if admiring the desperate expressions of the people, and as if they were picking the object of fish and meat.
Twilight Rain drew the bowstring once more at the sight of the ferocious gaze, and the Man-Bear seemed to be amused by the stubborn Corn Girl, who slowly bent down and poked its head out in the direction of Twilight's bow. An extremely strong fishy smell greeted him, and Twilight closed his eyes and spread the bowstring by feeling......
"Bang bang bang" There were three muffled sounds in the hall. Twilight felt a bunch of fishy stuff sprinkled on her face, she pressed her beating heart, slowly opened her eyes, and found that the big red hairy face close at hand was blooming with three bright flesh flowers at the moment. The man-bear's huge body shook a few times and fell backwards with a bang.
Twilight threw her bow and wiped away the sticky flesh and blood on her face blankly, feeling a tumble in her abdomen, and then bent over and began to vomit.
In the afterglow, she saw the big bear crouching beside the stump of the tree used as a round table in the hall, holding the huge three-eyed gun in his hand, and three wisps of green smoke rose from the mouth of the gun......
Two days later, the group roared back to the tunluo, and at the end of the procession, two horses pulled a makeshift climbing plow. The climbing plow was tied to the carcass of a mother bear. On the face of the man-bear, there are two bloody arrow holes.
The men sang loudly and boasted of each other's bravery. Several wounded hounds were held in the arms of their owners and whimpered softly, as if mourning their lost companions.
It was reassuring to see that Vehda was riding a horse alone, galloping with everyone intact. There were still a few wisps of blood on his face, which came from the little bear he had killed by mistake - after the mother bear took him away, she peeled off the fur of the little bear in front of him, and then forcibly wrapped him in the fur of the little bear, and then took him into her arms and patted him gently......
When the returning men saw that there was a human-bear corpse in the center of their settlement, they all stood in place for a while......
After learning what had happened, Twilight Amma summoned the bear to her
"Where did you learn about such a strange method of unleashing guns?" Amma asked quietly as he gently rubbed the moist handle of the oxtail knife.
"Looking back at the leader's words, this method has always been passed down in the original tribe of the minions, and it is the most common......"
Amma simply hummed after hearing this, and Twilight couldn't tell whether Amma was satisfied or dissatisfied with Big Bear's answer.
However, thinking of the ivory card that only he knew, Twilight's heart was a little drumming......
After a few more days, Twilight Rain found an excuse to go to Shumulu's department. He handed the tooth tag to an old woman from Shumulu's department. Although this old man is a native of Ning, he is not Ahha, he has lived in Shumulu for nearly 20 years, and is praised by Ninggongte as "the first wise man on both sides of the Peony Ula River".
The old woman only glanced at it, and then frowned.
"Where did you get this?" She asked, rather surprised.
"Turned it out while sorting out the arsenal!" Twilight quietly stuck out her tongue. Lying is not her forte.
"Son, do you know what this thing is? This is a piece of Jin Yuwei's waist card, sometimes, this small waist card, related to his master's net worth, well, the owner of your waist card is Jin Yuwei's small flag officer, named Zhao Ning. ”
"How do you know?"
The old woman smiled lightly and took out a piece of the same waist card from her arms......
In the darkness, as she was about to fall asleep, Twilight Rain flashed through the cracks in her memories and ran her fingers over the familiar name on the toothtag once more......
"Little bear, my little bear......" she murmured......
