Chapter XXXVII: Chiefs and Slaves

Ugin Bird! On Yi's forehead, there is a fresh brand, and it doesn't matter for about a few days. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info This is the reason why Yi has been dodging Long Qiupeng.

Long Qiupeng saw that the scar was extremely deep, and even in such dim light, he could see that some of the flesh was still turning outward because it had not healed well, oozing out some liquid that could not tell whether it was blood or tissue fluid. He was a little sick to his stomach, so he frowned in disgust.

This subtle expression did not escape the eyes of an archer, Yi saw it. He sat up, trying to lower his head again, and raised a hand to cover the scar.

But before he put his hand down, he was grabbed by a force, and his whole body was pulled up with this force. When he reacted, he had been pulled in front of Long Qiupeng.

Although the two of them are of the same age, it is obvious that Long Qiupeng is slightly taller than Yi, but with this advantage, at such a close distance, Yi has a sense of condescending oppression.

Long Qiupeng whispered in a somewhat angry voice, "What is this......"

Yi looked at Long Qiupeng directly, and it seemed that it took a lot of effort and determination before he opened his mouth and said, "I am the tenth cursed black gold bird, and you will die because of me, just like Yan Yan......"

With a bang, Long Qiupeng didn't wait for Yi to continue, he knocked him to the ground with a punch, and the corner of Yi's mouth, which was already a little bruised, was torn by Long Qiupeng's punch, and he bled earnestly.

Yi seemed to feel at ease with this punch, and had no intention of fighting back at all, which made Long Qiupeng very angry, he took a sip and said to Yi: "Who the hell asked you what the bird was on your head?" I just want to know, who did this?! ”

Of course, Long Qiupeng knew that Yi was now a slave, and he had no right to blame for being beaten and tortured by the clansmen in the tribe, so he didn't investigate what happened to the beaten skin on Yi's body that was about to bloom and the few bruises on his face.

But it is definitely not the people of the Long clan who can hate Yi so much and regard Yi as a curse, but those people of the Lu clan, nine times out of ten they are those old Lu clan who do hard labor with Yi in the bronze mine, only they know Yi's origin, and the account of the Lu clan's extermination is on Yi's head.

The slave tortured another slave without the permission of the master, and in Long Qiupeng's view, this incident was the beginning of the lawlessness of those people.

But obviously Yi didn't feel so, he still used silence to confront Long Qiupeng, and even hoped that Long Qiupeng would order people to kill him in anger.

Long Qiupeng simply thought so at first, but he soon found that this matter was not as simple as he thought, if Yi was bent on death, he actually had many ways, even if it was not easy to provoke others, but if he wanted to anger Xiong, it was almost easy.

What's more, he felt that he was a damned person, and he didn't want to be free, but he took the initiative to ask to be on duty at the watchtower, working so hard every day, but he was very responsible.

Such a contradictory behavior made Long Qiupeng feel abnormal, and he looked Yi up and down again, Yi stood there straight because of Long Qiupeng's previous state, but his eyes were still looking at the ground, and he didn't dare to look at himself.

Long Qiupeng said angrily: "Just die like this, are you really worthy of your title of Houyi?!" ”

Yi raised his head suddenly when he heard this, for the first time, he looked at Long Qiupeng with a look mixed with fear, it seemed that it was the first time in so long that someone had seen through his thoughts.

Long Qiupeng had long felt that Yi was carrying a curse and left, but in the end, he chose to give up his name and leave this title that symbolized the glory of the tribe, which did not conform to the thinking logic of ordinary people.

The only reason that can explain this is his love and cherishment of this title, although he was forced to leave the tribe, but at that time he must have very much hoped that he would one day be able to return to his hometown with this title.

So although he lived a very difficult and desperate life, he never allowed himself to sink, and he cherished this title, which was the last and only connection he had with his people, and this love was greater than his love for his soul. He even wanted to live for a long time, leave a descendant, and pass on the name.

Yi, who had always been very hard, suddenly weakened his legs, and slowly knelt on the ground, his body trembled slightly, and tears filled his eyes. He looked at Long Qiupeng, and only after a long time did he tremble and say something that had been hidden in his heart for many years: "I just want this name to live......"

Long Qiupeng sighed and said, "Your archery skills are enough to make you live better......

Yi smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know how to shoot arrows...... On the day I met you......"

Yi's words were a bit clueless, which made Long Qiupeng feel a little confused. It was probably because Long Qiupeng's skill of recognizing people suddenly broke through Yi's mental defense, and he was silent and told the story of why he took the initiative to guard this watchtower.

It turned out that on the day of the burning furnace tribe, Yi was the first person to discover Long Qiupeng, at that time, Long Qiupeng was standing at the bow of the ship and had already begun to shoot arrows at the granary, and Yi was standing now, aiming at Long Qiupeng with an arrow.

His intuition told him that as long as he killed Long Qiupeng, the curse on his body would be broken, and everything would return to normal. But just as Yi was about to aim, countless pictures of the past appeared in front of him again, and the voice of a witch came from his ears, and the old voice surrounded Yi's mind: "You are the tenth Ugin!" It's the curse of this tribe! ”

Immediately, he saw a lot of Ugin suddenly hovering in the air, his chest was stuffy, fainted on this watchtower, and when he woke up again, he had been tied up among the prisoners of war, and heard the news that Yan Yan threw himself into the lake and Qingmang was martyred.

That night, the slaves of the Furnace tribe who had been sent to the bronze casting center carved a soldering iron and burned it on their heads. That night, Yi was almost killed by the Lu people, but it was the deer who passed by and saved his life.

Long Qiupeng heard what Lu said, and when Lu saw the appearance of his hands at that time, he knew that he was good at using arrows. The arrow is sensitive, and in the case of insensitive vision, he can still react to a large range of conditions around him at the first time, so the deer specially asked him to come out of work to watch the night, and then go back to rest in the second half of the night.

Long Qiupeng knew that the deer was not the kind of person who liked to oppress people, and when he heard it today, sure enough, although the deer deprived Yi of some of his sleep time, fortunately, he would not be beaten by the Lu slaves every night.

"Lord Deer's archery...... In time, it will inevitably override me......" Yi shook his head, and then said, "So, I don't know if I stay...... What can be done...... Perhaps, it would be safer for everyone to die......"

Of course, Long Qiupeng wanted to keep Yi with the element of cherishing talent, but it was not entirely. Since he knew that Yi was his ancestral neighbor, Long Qiupeng had a sense of closeness to Yi that was similar to blood, after all, after traveling through such a distant time and space, Long Qiupeng could be regarded as a relative relative here.

"That's it! My life is hard, you can't kill me! If one day, you really endanger the existence of the Dragon Clan, I will kill you with my own hands, I will do what I say! Long Qiupeng's words were very hard and cold, but at that moment, a kind of power was generated that warmed Yi's heart.

Yi Gang wanted to say something, but suddenly felt something, the conditioned reflex cultivated over the years made the body react faster than the brain, and when Long Qiupeng came back to his senses, he had already opened his bow and arrows, and faced a certain piece of grass outside the wall.

Although Long Qiupeng is constantly adapting to the environment of the primitive society, at night, his ability to discern is still far below these aborigines, so he doesn't know what happened, just holding his breath and standing by Yi's side.

He ignored Long Qiupeng and shouted at the low patrolman, using the dialect of the Lu clan, Long Qiupeng could only listen and guess, knowing that Yi was reporting to the patrolman. Soon, a patrol rushed out the door with torches.

Just as Long Qiupeng watched the torches go away, the bear and the deer were awakened from their sleep and came to observe the situation.

"Get out of here!" Yi took the arrow, turned his back to Long Qiupeng, and shouted loudly to Long Qiupeng.

But I don't know if it's because of the responsibility of protecting Long Qiupeng, Yi was very nervous, and his whole body trembled, and he didn't have the appearance that a marksman should have.

Looking at the deer downstairs, he also advised Long Qiupeng to leave the wall quickly and go back to rest. Long Qiupeng knew that acting at night was his forte, so he didn't plan to cause trouble here, but when he was about to leave the watchtower, he said to Yi: "Come to my house after dawn tomorrow." ”

But in the end, after tossing all night, the bears didn't gain anything, as if everything was Yi's illusion, and everyone who was still tossing didn't have a rest in the middle of the night, and Yi was punished for this. According to Xiong's meaning, Yi was beaten ten times, and after that, he not only had to work as before, but also had no food for a day.

Yi did not plead or apologize, but silently accepted the punishment. The executioners followed Xiong's several Furnace slaves, and they were so heavy that Yi even felt that he might be able to free himself soon. However, after the punishment was over, he was still alive, and it was already dawn at this time, Yi remembered the agreement with Long Qiupeng, so he got up and staggered to Long Qiupeng's room.

When Yi entered the door, he almost rolled in front of Long Qiupeng.

"Sit down......," Long Qiupeng said, asking the deer to bring him a bowl of fish soup with a piece of fine meat, which was obviously left over from Long Qiupeng's breakfast, or leftover.

Although Lu is a half-grown child, he has a very high status in the Long tribe, and Yi is still a slave now, how can he afford Lu to bring food to him, he stands up and is about to kneel.
