Chapter 19: The Night
The sun is slanting to the west, and several rounds of the divine moon above the sky have begun to appear. Under the blue sky, the villagers returned from farming, and the sound of frogs and cicadas was endless.
In the mountains, the lake is covered with vast clouds and smoke, and the tail-tailed scale fish is hunted unpreyed, sometimes playing in the water, sometimes flying over the lake, so uncomfortable. The breeze is slightly cool, some people sing loudly on the Qianmo path, the sound spreads ten miles of territory, in the village, the half-earth girl is playing in front of the house is happy, and the crisp laughter makes people feel comfortable when they listen to it.
A roar came, the girl blinked her crystal eyes, the puffy and chubby little face showed a blank, and suddenly sat on the ground and cried, which was heartbreaking. The sister-in-law of the Qiu family hurriedly came out of the house, hugged the girl in her arms and comforted her softly, buried a few more words, and carried her daughter back to the house.
Hundreds of catties of thorny demon pigs resisted on his shoulders, the black axe hung behind him, and the remaining fishy blood on his dark cheeks had begun to coagulate, and only after passing the ancient tree at the head of the village, Xu Shan analyzed the place where the strange sound came, and couldn't help but snort a few times, speeding up the pace of returning home.
After jumping up and down for a long time, Xu Han finally pulled out most of the crystal transparent stones embedded in the rock walls on both sides of the dark river and transported them out of the crypt, and the remaining ones the size of beans were not worth the effort.
Tie Hong sat on a stone stone in the ruined courtyard, helplessly watching the young man toss and turn, and wanted to drink again, but found that the wine in his hand had been exposed.
"I said, since you kid don't drink it, just give it back to me, how can you just take it like this......." Tie Hong howled with indignation.
"Hu ........" put all these foreign ores into the woven bag, Xu Han straightened to soothe his breath, "When it comes to my hands, it will be mine, how can there be any reason to return it?" the young man smiled scoundrelly. Tie Hong also knew that it was in vain, and after complaining twice, he hurriedly drove Xu Han, who was carrying a woven bag and a wine jar hanging from his waist.
The blast furnace that lasted all year round was still spitting azure flames, and the giant hammer that Uncle Tie Hong boasted was leaning against the side of the platform that paved the rammed earth with hard rock. The young man was irritated by the urging, his eyes rolled and he stood still, looking back at Uncle Hei with a smile on his beard, "Hey, Uncle Tie, do you want to see me play a trick for you?"
"What are you going to do with the moth, if you want to change, hurry up, change if you don't change, get out of here!"
"Hehe!" the young man sneered, suddenly reached out and grabbed the handle of the hammer, and kicked at the huge hammer head! The evil wind hit, the huge hammer head slashed through the air in a semicircle and rose to the highest place, the young man's right arm held the hammer and dismounted,
"Drink!"
With a roar, the huge hammer head drew out an afterimage and blasted towards the rock platform with a thousand momentum! When the hammer platform intersected, Xu Han stepped on the ground, and suddenly flipped his wrist to stop the momentum of the giant hammer with supreme divine power!
The earth shook violently, and the roar came out from an unknown distance! Tie Hong's two-hundred-pound man was shocked by Xu Han's kick and his heel off the ground, and then the giant hammer suddenly stopped with a whistling sound, and the wind rushed towards Tie Hong's huge body, and the man who lost his center of gravity was swept by the wind and fell to the ground in embarrassment!
"Haha!" With a long laugh, the boy threw the giant hammer onto the cracked platform and ran away without looking back........
Uncle Tie Hong on the ground was stunned and looked at Xu Han's figure running away, got up stupidly and looked around at the scattered houses that were washed away, and suddenly reacted!
Xu Han had already run wildly for dozens of feet, and a hoarse scream caught up from behind,
"Little brute!!!"
A few green crows resting on the dead branches were startled by the whistle, and flew into the sky with a croak, and the yin young man smiled evilly and ran away.....
.........................
At the beginning of the lanterns......no, the candlelight was flickering, and in front of the door under the moon, Xu Shan stood against the wall. The boy rushed out of the corner and headed straight for the house.
"Stinky boy, why did you come home so late? The roar before was you the monster again?" "'Strict Father' Xu Shan reprimanded solemnly, and suddenly something in his sight flipped in mid-air and flew towards him, Xu Shan Lengran stretched out his hand to catch the wine jar, only to see that his face changed, and he bent over and smiled, in an instant!
"Master, the meal is ready, do you want to eat first or wash first.......
Too lazy to pay attention to this foolish thing, Xu Han crossed the door and threw the woven bag behind him to the pile of debris. He Nu didn't see the previous scene, so she didn't know why she looked at her husband's funny appearance. Xu Shan coughed twice with his back to his wife and children, and when he turned around again, there was nothing in his hand......
He Nu went to serve the meal, Xu Han saw hundreds of catties of thorny demon pigs looking at his father with appreciation, Xu Shanqian smiled and showed the wine jar in his arms, and gave his son a thumbs up, all the tacit understanding was silent.
Three meals a day is all the life of a mortal, after using the meal, the three people enjoy the cool under the moon. The fire and candles in the house flickered and were uncertain, but there was a sense of ease.
Moved the stove out of the house and put it in the open space in front of the door, He Nu took an iron basin, poured all the juice from the purple bamboo bark mill into the basin, and then put it on the stove and boiled it over a warm fire, until it boiled and bubbled, picked up the stick and added some brightly colored mineral powder while rolling.
Father Xu Shan took out a set of tools that are not commonly used on weekdays, or cut or split, and after a while, he dismantled the long wood into several wooden pieces, thinking that it was used for Xiying to sit on the dressing table.
"Xiying is only so big, wouldn't it be a little early to give her this thing at this time?" Seeing that his father was busy, Xu Han raised an objection on the side.
He Nu laughed softly, but did not speak. However, Xu Shan glanced at his bored son, and said angrily: "You can say some cool things, you stinky boy don't look at me, who is this for!"
Xu Han shut up stupidly, unwilling to take over the topic, no one would have any extra thoughts about the girl who was only four years old and would wet the bed at night. It's just that he is lucky, and he is in the right year with Xiying, so he is not worried that there will be no one to hold the white head in the future. It's just that every time I think of the milky little girl who loves her for decades, she will be with her for the rest of her life, and she always has a little unspeakable thoughts.
"That girl, it's a little too noisy, too ....... Love cried......." After thinking for a long time, Xu Han frowned and vaguely expressed his opinion.
"Flutter ......." but He Nu suddenly laughed, tapped the young man's forehead, with a bit of blame on her face, but her tone was intimate, "Who else can make more trouble than you?"
Xu Shan sneered and said nothing, such a lucky kid is still picking and choosing there, I don't know what to say!
Xu Han also knew that this was useless, so he didn't argue anymore, and could only go with him after sighing secretly. After thinking about it, he got up from the door pier and walked into the house and dragged the woven bag he had brought back out of the house.
Picking up the bottom of the bag, the crystal clear stone crackled and rolled to the ground, and the moonlight shone on it, which was even more extraordinary.
Xu Shan was stunned for a moment, and asked, "What are you doing with so many waste mines from Tiehong?"
"Have you seen it?" Xu Han raised his face.
Xu Shan walked over and picked up a strange stone from the ground and looked at it, "Tie Hong told us that this kind of stone is useless except for being beautiful, what's the matter?
Xu Han took the spar from his father's hand, and looked puzzled, "Don't you feel anything from this stone?"
Seeing that the child's expression did not seem to be fake, He Nu also put down the wooden stick in her hand and surrounded her, carefully observed it and said, "It's good-looking, but it's not inappropriate?"
The young man exerted force in his palm, only to hear a bang, the crystal turned into powder, and after the breeze rippled, the young man asked again, "Have you ever noticed something different like this?"
He Nu Xu Shan looked at each other and shook their heads.
Xu Han was slightly silent when he saw this, but he didn't say anything more. The spiritual mist disappeared in the blink of an eye, and the young man secretly said a waste.
The parents went to do their own work again. Xu Han sat alone, put the spar in his hand from time to time and shattered it, and then quickly buried his head in the powder mist and sucked wildly, and after a while, his head was covered with thick ashes. Accustomed to her son's strange behavior, Xu Shanhe Nu only felt funny, but did not ask questions.
Wisps of vitality nourish the flesh and blood of the body, and unconsciously the strength of the body has been slightly improved, at this time, the bright moon is universal, if it is in the dark room or can be seen that the meridians under the muscles of the young man also have a very faint fluorescent flow!
Xu Han knew that this stone was not pure, there were more miscellaneous parts than useful parts, and it was not used in a law, but at the moment, he had no choice but to use this method to swallow his vitality, in order to keep a little more for himself.
Most of the half-woven spars had been consumed, and in the mud, there were two half-thumb-sized spars embedded, and Xu Han laboriously pulled them out from the ground.
The concocted wooden pieces were placed aside, and He Nu found a brush from the inner room, and after some cleaning, she rolled up her sleeves, and carefully brushed those wooden pieces with a brush dipped in the lacquer boiled into purple pulp. After the foam is evenly distributed, the wood glows with a dull purple matte in the moonlight.
said good craftsmanship in his heart, but Xu Han was a little embarrassed, He Nu was so careful for the sake of his precious son, but he really didn't take this matter to heart, and he really failed his parents.
Looking at the two spars in his hand, the young man had an idea in his heart.
With his hands and feet, he took a thick root from the sawdust cut out by Xu Shan, and used his father's iron tool to cut it into a palm-long wooden stick. After finding the joints of the rather resilient purple bamboo, split it, take a piece of suitable size and drill a hole in the center of the bamboo piece to pound the head of the wooden stick into it, and fix it with short nails inside and out, and ring the bamboo into a bracelet shape.
Orion's house, the family has all kinds of dried animal skins, the young man ran home to search the mountains and seas, and found a suitable one to cut out two pieces, covering both sides of the bamboo bracelet. Carefully taut the drum surface, and now there is only one last step missing. Xu Han, who had been tossing for a long time and had not found a suitable rope, scratched the back of his head impatiently.
It was really troublesome, and the young man was lazy and didn't want to think about it, so he simply cut a few strands of his long hair and braided them into a rope. The two crystals were ground into two beads of different sizes on the stone path, and then the holes were opened. One end of the hair rope was passed through the jade beads and melted over a small fire, and the other end was pressed on the side of the bamboo bracelet with short nails........
Tea kung fu, a freshly baked gift for Xiao Xiying's birthday!
Facing the incomprehensible gaze of his parents, Xu Han grinned in relief and turned his wrist.
At night, bam.... Bang..... Bang....... The rhythmic sound of the beating echoed through the silent village........
