Chapter 1 Birth, Beasts Come to Court
Nine Heavens Domain, one of the eight cities under the jurisdiction of the Northwest Heavenly Domain, is in the east of the city, outside the dense forest.
Linxing Village, a village name with a lot of meaning, is actually just a small village with only more than 200 households. The name of the village is the old village chief with a pot of old tea, and a poor scholar who passed by to ask for water to drink, it sounds very meaningful, there is no special meaning in it, just because in the village three hundred miles to the east, it is the forbidden area of ordinary human beings Xingchen Lake, in the cities, towns and villages under the jurisdiction of the Youtian Domain, this village is the closest to Xingchen Lake, so take a meaning close to Xingchen Lake.
Since the village is also 600 miles away from the nearest Xiaoqing City, and there is a large area of forest in the middle, the transportation is extremely inconvenient. Therefore, Linxing Village is almost in a state of semi-isolation.
However, there are streams and small rivers near the village, and the river beach formed over the years can be regarded as fertile soil, and the grain grown on it can be harvested three times a year, and the harvest is excellent, and the granary in the village is never empty.
There are dense forests in the southeast and southwest of the village, and there is a hill in the north, during the day, the young people in the village go to hunt in the mountains and forests, and the women and children are ploughing the fields and weaving cloth at home.
On this day, the women and children of Linxing Village did not plough the fields and weave cloth as usual, but most of them came to the very center of the village, outside the door of the youngest son of the old village chief. Because the old village chief's little daughter-in-law is about to give birth today, the village has always been simple and simple, the old village chief Mu Yuanshan is highly respected and knowledgeable, and his eldest son Mu Qingyun is one of the best hunters in the village, and the second son Mu Qingfeng is responsible for the business between the village and the city. The family usually takes care of the affairs of the village, and keeps the village in order, and most of the people in the village have received the favor of the family. So when everyone heard that Mu Qingfeng's daughter-in-law was about to give birth, they all put down their work and rushed to see what they could help.
In the courtyard, bare-armed, a sturdy man dressed in animal skins and shoulders, paced back and forth, and from time to time glanced at the closed door of the room, and the nervousness was self-evident.
Under the shed used for the cool in the courtyard, there are several rattan chairs used for the shade, and on one of the rattan chairs, there is an old man with gray hair and beard and a rattan cane, the old man's skeleton is very large, even if he sits there, there is a feeling of not being angry and arrogant, judging from the figure alone, he must have been a brave man when he was young.
"Qingfeng, you sit down for me! What kind of body is the frizzy Cheng, isn't it just that the daughter-in-law gives birth to a baby, look at you, what kind of anxious you are. The old man stared at the man in the courtyard with brass bell-like eyes.
"Come on, Dad, I heard my mother say, when your mother gave birth to my eldest brother, you jumped up and down in a hurry, not as good as me, this is Ah Lian and my first baby, can I not be nervous!" The man didn't take the old man's words to heart at all, and did not hesitate to reveal the old man's bottom.
Listening to the good-natured laughter of the neighbors outside the yard fence, the old man suddenly felt that his old face couldn't hang up, his eyebrows were raised, and he angrily took a cane and pestle the ground and said: "Mu Qingfeng! I even dare to refute your father's words, I think you have itchy skin!" After speaking, the old man stood up from the rattan chair, walked in front of the man, raised the rattan wooden cane, and was about to fight.
At this time, another person pushed open the courtyard door and came to the courtyard. I saw that this man had a full beard, a forehead guard made of wolf skin, and a long hair tied with strips of cloth at random, just like the man who had stood in the courtyard, wearing animal skin and shoulders, bare arms, and a sharp animal tooth hanging from his chest. The angular muscles clearly contain terrifying power. The man who just came in was obviously a few points taller than the man standing in the courtyard, and he exuded a fierce atmosphere.
"Big brother, you came just in time, my father thinks I expose his shortcomings, and wants to beat me, you stop me. Mu Qingfeng said to the man who had just arrived. "Hahaha, I can't stop my father from beating you. You kid, how old are you and still against your father, I hope this soon-to-be little guy in the house won't be as naughty as you were when you were a child. The man smiled heartily and refused Mu Qingfeng's request for help. This majestic-looking man is the eldest son of the old man, Mu Qingfeng's eldest brother - Mu Qingyun.
After listening to the eldest brother's words, Mu Qingfeng just wanted to distinguish a few words, when a loud baby cry sounded in the room, instantly attracting everyone's attention. Mu Qingfeng didn't care about distinguishing anything, and stared at the closed door with a pair of eyes.
"Squeak" The door opened, and the woman in charge of the delivery walked out with the swaddling clothes in her arms, looking at the grandfather in the yard and shouting: "Congratulations, mother and son are safe, mother and child are safe!"
Hearing that the mother and son were safe, Mu Qingfeng's heart that had been hanging finally let go, and hurriedly entered the room to check on his wife's situation. And Mu Yuanshan took the child from Wen Po's hand, holding the child with one hand and groping for something in the swaddling clothes with the other. Suddenly, Mu Yuanshan's hands were beaten, and his eyes suddenly lit up. "Hahaha, it's a boy, hahaha, okay! Okay! My Mu family has a future!" Mu Yuanshan laughed heartily.
"Dad, when the mother came out, she already said that it was mother and son, and she was excited. Mu Qingyun looked at Mu Yuanshan, who was relieved, and said helplessly.
"It's not that you're in a hurry, you know how to hunt and train every day, and you don't even have a daughter-in-law, can I still expect you to let me hold a big fat grandson? Mu Yuanshan turned his head and slashed his head at Mu Qingyun.
Mu Qingyun smiled bitterly and did not refute, but looked at the white and tender doll in the swaddling clothes, and a throbbing welled up from his heart. Yes, I have indeed been too lonely all these years, and it is time to start a family, Mu Qingyun thought to himself.
"Dad, don't say that, big brother, without him hunting in the mountains and forests all these years, how could the life in our village be so good, every family has meat to eat. He just didn't pay attention to that. At this time, Mu Qingfeng helped his wife Ah Lian to come out of the house, the physical fitness of people in this world is generally much better than that world, so although Ah Lian has just given birth, she has been able to walk around on the ground, except for her face is slightly pale, she seems to be fine in other aspects. What he said just now was obviously Ah Lian helping Mu Qingyun speak.
"Ah Lian, why did you come out, you should have a good rest, hurry, Qingfeng, don't let your daughter-in-law stand, help her back and let her lie down." Mu Yuanshan saw Ah Lian coming out, and hurriedly said, Ah Lian is now the hero of the Mu family, Mu Yuanshan still expects her to cultivate her eldest grandson well, since Ah Lian has spoken for his eldest brother, Mu Yuanshan did not count his eldest son again, but asked Ah Lian to go back to the house to rest. Mu Qingfeng and Ah Lian were called back to the house by the old man, Mu Qingyun glanced at his brother-in-law gratefully, and then followed the old man into the room.
"Dad, I'll look at the child. Ah Lian looked at Mu Yuanshan and said. "Oh, yes, you see I'm confused. Mu Yuanshan hurriedly handed the baby in his arms to his daughter-in-law. "Village chief, village chief, it's not good. Before Mu Yuanshan could say anything, the anxious voices of the villagers sounded outside the courtyard.
The three fathers and sons in the house turned pale and settled Ah Lian, asking her to take good care of the children and not to leave the house, and the father and son went out of the yard at the same time. "What's wrong, what's wrong!" Mu Yuanshan asked the panting villagers who had just arrived.
When the villagers saw that Mu Qingyun and Mu Qingfeng were also there, their faces were overjoyed, and they hurriedly said: "Village Chief, Brother Mu, Second Brother Mu, go and take a look, in the forests in the southeast and southwest of the village, as well as on the mountains in the north, somehow, a large number of wild beasts have come out, and the walls we erected on these three sides have been broken, and their target seems to be the center of the village, but the strange thing is that these beasts do not hurt people, and we don't dare to act rashly, so we have come to inform you." ”
"Wild beasts don't hurt people, they just rush to the center of the village?" Mu Qingyun was confused, he had been hunting for so many years, and he had never heard of it. "It's a migration, it can't be a migration in three directions at the same time, it's too strange. Mu Qingfeng couldn't figure out what the situation was.
"Let's go up to the watchtower. Mu Yuanshan pondered for a while and decided to take a look at the situation first. "This... What's the situation?"
In their field of vision, the southeast, southwest, and north of the village were densely packed with wild beasts in the mountains and forests, ranging from squirrels and hares to gray wolves and tigers, and even hundreds of birds of various colors were hovering in the sky, among which a large eagle with metallic wings was extremely conspicuous.
Mu Qingyun swallowed his saliva, "I'm a good man, even the golden feather eagle in the southwest forest is here, that is the absolute overlord in the southwest forest! A pair of sharp claws split the golden stone, tearing the existence of the tiger and leopard, even I can't stop this guy." But what are they going to do, and where are they going?"
With this question, the three of them looked at the confluence of the beast tide in three directions. "It's not good! It's my house! Ah Lian and the child are still in the house!" Mu Qingfeng's pupils shrank, and he reacted, hurriedly jumped off the guard tower, and hurried towards home. "Damn! I must not let the child and my brother-in-law have an accident!" Mu Qingyun also gritted his teeth and rushed towards his brother's house as fast as he could.
"Ah Lian, come out quickly, follow me!" Before he could get home, Mu Qingfeng shouted at the door. When Ah Lian heard the sound, she ran out with the child in her arms, and she always maintained this 100% trust in her man.
Seeing that Mu Qingfeng and his wife would soon be able to meet at the gate of the courtyard, there was a shadow that was faster than them. The golden feather eagle, which even Mu Qingyun was afraid of, was like a golden lightning bolt, and pounced into the courtyard before Mu Qingfeng. "No!" Mu Qingfeng let out a terrible howl, his eyes red, and he accelerated towards the courtyard.
"Bah" Mu Qingfeng kicked open the courtyard door, and the scene in front of him made him stunned. "What's the situation?" Looking at the golden feather eagle crawling on the ground in front of him, Mu Qingfeng's mind couldn't turn around, and Ah Lian, who was holding the child, was also at a loss.
"What's the matter, these beasts have all hit the evil spirits?" came Mu Qingyun's shout from outside the courtyard. Mu Qingfeng looked out when he heard this, and a scene that he couldn't believe happened. The tide of beasts in the southeast, southwest, and north directions had converged, just outside his yard, so all the beasts were prostrate on the ground, and their heads were facing in his own yard. Only an ape, with golden hair but two long white eyebrows, stepped into the courtyard with a fruit that was bright red but crystal clear like jade.
I saw the ape walk up to Ah Lian, gently put the fruit into the swaddling clothes of the child she was holding, took a few steps back respectfully, and crawled down next to the golden feather eagle, like a wild beast outside.
Mu Yuanshan, who was a step late, saw this incredible scene, as if he remembered something, and he said in a trembling voice: "This... This is, the spirit ape offers fruit, and a hundred beasts come to court!"
