POV4 Twilight 03

Autumn in the north is gorgeous and short, and the fresh snow that flies leisurely outlines a layer of cold for the distant mountains outside the window lattice, blending with the five-colored fallen leaves that cover the mountains, and falling into dust under the hurried hooves of horses......

A hunting team galloped out of the mountain, unlike before, this time the hunting team did not carry any hunting, no one in the team talked and laughed, and anxious emotions permeated the hearts of the men......

Twilight ran in the middle of the group on a little black horse, somewhat ignorant.

"Is that really that scary?"

This question has been bothering her, and she wanted to ask Amma about it several times, but seeing Amma's solemn face, she obediently chose to remain silent.

This was originally the first siege since the beginning of winter, and the hunting team arrived at the hunting ground yesterday evening, and everyone set up camp and rested early, preparing to set off for hunting in the early morning. But not long after falling asleep, Twilight was woken up by the noise beside him.

"I just shot a bear!" Veheda, who was on duty for the night, shouted.

"What a sign! You can hunt a bear before you even start fighting! Several hunters took their spears and bows and arrows, and went into the forest with Veheda.

After a while, several people carried an object back to the campfire.

"Chief! Chieftain! What to do? Vehdar seems to be in trouble! ”

"Don't panic! Let me see. Twilight Amma said as she walked over, and at a glance, she was still there.

"What is it?" Twilight also came to the campfire. "Ah~~~ It's ......"

A hideous human face flickered in the light of the dancing fire. But the owner of this face is densely covered with long brown-red hair...... A feathered arrow stuck in the corner of its eye, knocking it apart......

"Could it be that this is the legendary ......"

When I was a child, whenever Twilight Rain ran around or caused trouble, E-Niang would say, "If you are disobedient, I will take you to feed 'Alris'!" "Hearing adults say this, most of the corn babies will be so frightened that they don't even dare to make a sound, but Twilight Rain doesn't think so, Alris, what is it? Isn't it scary? I've never seen it before!

But the elders insisted that the Arman, also known as the man-bear, was the most terrifying creature in the mountain. Even the most powerful Millet warriors will be torn to pieces by humans and bears in an instant.

There is even a legend in the Zhanghu Pagoda that in the past, not so far from the present, a small tribe by the Sea of Khan disappeared overnight, and the stumps were scattered in the forest, but the smoke in the tent still rose in wisps......

"The power of the man-bear is not only in its cunning and vicious nature, but also in the fur on its body!" On a long winter night, old Marfa (grandfather) spoke to the young men sitting around him: "The fur of a man and bear is the strongest armor, and ordinary bows and arrows cannot penetrate its body!" ”

"Didn't you say before that there is no fur on the face of a man-bear? Isn't it okay to shoot a bear in the face? Twilight said with a smile.

"This baby is smart!" Old Marfa was so happy that even the wrinkles on his face were relaxed, "But the man-bear is not stupid, it also knows that its face is not protected, so the man-bear has a way......

It catches its own kind and then skins it alive! Make a mask and then bring it on your face when harming people. Skinned alive can still protect against arrows, but it can't withstand the heavy arrows fired by the hard power of the iron tire, so it can take its life by simply striking an arrow at close range with a hard bow to the door in front of it.

Moreover, this kind of mask made of the same kind of fur gradually becomes less brilliant after a few years, so if the man-bear wants to be strong, it must constantly hunt its own kind......

The leader of the Shumulu tribe has a soft armor made of human bear fur, which is a little long, but the protection is still no worse than ordinary chain mail.

Although the man and bear are so strong, but the number has not been many because of this cannibalistic disease, for thousands of years, we Su Tatar people have become more and more rare......" Old Marfa sighed faintly, staring at the endless night outside the window paper.

"Isn't it the same for our Su Tatar people, although they are good at fighting, but this kind of good war has always been used by everyone to kill each other among the tribes. Ay...... For as long as I can remember, these tribes on the border of Kuhan Sea and Peony Ula have been fighting each other......" Twilight said disdainfully.

Old Marfa looked at the twilight rain in a daze, and was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth for a while......

"Yes, this is the legendary Albaus!" Amma's words confirmed Twilight's suspicions.

"However, this one is only more than five feet tall, it is a juvenile little bear, if it grows into adulthood, it can be nearly a foot tall!"

"I... I didn't know it was, but I saw a hairy shadow in the woods staring at us all the time, and I thought it was a black blind man! and shot an arrow...... Am I in trouble, Chief? Eighteen-year-old Vehda asked tremblingly.

Twilight Amma patted Vehdar on the shoulder.

"It's not your fault, you're the night watchman, everyone's lives are on your shoulders, and you're just doing your duty by shooting this arrow! Moreover, in the dark night, an arrow can hit the vital point, Veheda, you are worthy of the young man 'Baturu' of our Zhanghu Tower! ”

Seeing that Twilight Amma, who was both the uncle of his own family and the leader of the clan, did not blame himself, Veheda let out a long breath.

"This siege, let's not fight, everyone hurry up and eat something, and go back to Tunzi at dawn!"

"Wow!" And they all received the command together.

"Vehda, you pull the arrow off the little bear's face, wash it with water, and cover the corpse with a branch. Everyone took out all the extra food on their bodies and put it next to the little bear......"

"Big brother, does this work?" After everyone dispersed, Twilight heard Second Uncle Qinghua pulling Amma's arm and asked quietly.

"It shouldn't be useless, the old generation said, Alis is unruly, and revenge will be avenged......"

Since the return of the hunting party, the Zhanghu Pagoda has been shrouded in a strange atmosphere, and every day before dawn, people will return home early and release all the dogs in the pen to scatter in the tunzi.

The number of guards on the wall has more than doubled compared to normal days. And that's not all, after dark, most of the acquaintances get together, the men put their hard bows beside them, drink boiled hot mountain wine, and sit around the fire to keep vigil in turn, while the women and children huddle on the big kang and go to bed early.

Twilight felt that in the face of possible revenge, most of the clansmen had more expectations than fears, and among the Su Tatar people, any tribe that could successfully hunt a human bear would be looked down upon by the surrounding tribes, and the hunter who shot a deadly arrow would receive great glory!

Young men, everyone is eagerly waiting......

Unlike the others, Veheda's heart was full of apprehension, he had provoked this matter in any way, and although the leader did not blame or complain about him afterwards, he had always worried that his recklessness that night might bring unnecessary losses to the tribe.

But for five days in a row, there was not the slightest disturbance around the tunluo, Wei Heda gradually breathed a sigh of relief, and at dusk that day, he came to his Aha shed and whispered a few words to a high-quality woman in her thirties.

This high-quality woman Aha was robbed by Weheda Ama when she entered Gaoxian five years ago, and since the first time I saw her, Weheda felt that this high-quality woman had a charm that was different from that of a Su Xian woman.

In the past five years, Vehda has gradually grown from a half-grown child to the most powerful young warrior of the Zhanghu Pagoda Division, and finally, on a summer night, Vehda carried the Quanshi to the woods by the Toad River and galloped on her.

Since then, the two have often had trysts. According to the customs of Su Yan, if the female Aha successfully gives birth to an heir for the main family, she can be exempted from the lowly status. But Vehda thought to herself that even if she was pregnant with his offspring, she didn't intend to take it as a side room......

And it's not just that this high-profile woman is more than a decade older than him. What he can't accept even more is that his descendants have the weak blood of Gao Xianren......
