Xiao Nan's room in the bamboo building is probably the most comfortable room in the house, and it is said that it is reserved for the youngest son of the family to marry in the future.

Xiao Nan's bedding has been laid with reeds, he won't use other people's bedding, these bedding are all brought. Although he didn't say it explicitly, everyone in his team knew that Xiao Nan was a bit clean.

It was still cold and damp, and there was a separate brazier in his room, with iron hooks hanging from the beams, and pots of boiling water hanging from the fire.

Although it was only two o'clock in the afternoon, the sky outside was vague, as if it was going to snow, and the house was illuminated by firelight.

"Thirteenth Master, will they be too noisy?" Lu Hua interjected.

"It's okay, I just want to hear about their local affairs." Xiao Nan said.

After getting the candy, the little girl was not as able to speak as the little boy, but used her clothes to pocket the handful of candy that Xiao Nan grabbed for her, and went to find her father.

After a while, the head man led his little daughter into the house and returned all the sweets to Xiao Nan.

"Master, the children in our mountains can't eat such valuable candy." Head humane.

"It's nothing, it's just a reward for chatting with me." Xiao Nan said, "For the children to eat and play, don't be polite." When you are old, you can also come and talk to me. I'm bored sitting alone. ”

The head man knew that Xiao Nan was a cripple, and he could guess it when he was carried in, thinking that such a good-looking and kind young master was a lame, he was a little pity for Xiao Nan, and after Xiao Nan said a few words, he had to accept the candy, and said to his child: "Take out more than half of it and distribute it to the elders in the village, and you will eat the rest, and call your fifth and seventh grandfathers." ”

The two old men he mentioned were the oldest in the village and knew a lot of allusions and stories. It is said that they are the eldest elders, but in fact they are only two old men in their sixties, not even seventy, this is because the local harsh conditions have led to the average life expectancy of people is very low, or how to say that life is rare in seventy years!

The local folk customs are quite simple, and the old people who have been given the candy are very happy, and after they eat the candy, they sing songs on the rice wine to express the joy in their hearts.

"This candy is delicious, it must have been brought from the east." The head and several of his uncles' elders also exchanged views on the taste of candy and praised it.

"Old man, I want to know, why is the local bandit so rampant, doesn't the government care?" Xiao Nan said.

"Speaking of which, it's really a day and a night." "At first, the government didn't want to take care of it, they just wanted us to pay for it, but later, they couldn't control it, and now, no one dares to mess with those gangs." Our village has long been robbed, and people have been killed and robbed, but now it is 'peaceful', because there is nothing to rob anymore, and there are either old people or children in the village, and there is no one to rob. ”

"Do you know who these gangsters are?" Xiao Nan asked.

At this time, an old man said in the local language while eating toffee, with rice wine: "I am older, and I know better." ”

The head man translated for him to Xiao Nan.

A few decades ago, the villages were relatively peaceful, and although there were trade routes passing through the area, the locals maintained the custom of friendly trade with trade tourists, and it can even be said that this state of peace and quiet has lasted for more than 100 years.

As the country was in turmoil, the dynasty changed, the people's hearts were in turmoil, and the news spread from the east to the outside, and many warlords occupied the mountains as kings, and this chaos affected this mountain and forest land like ripples.

However, the local society is still closed after all, although the hearts of the people are fluctuating, most of the people still farm and live like their ancestors, and the land is barren, and it is not valued much by the warlords, and it is stable for a while.

For the local old people, they only know that there has been a change of dynasty and a change of heaven, who would have thought that the stable situation would be lost one day - some people still did not hold back.

At first, a group of young people, dissatisfied with the oppression of Tusi and other landlords, began to rise up, they killed Tusi, and divided the wealth and food of Tusi.

At first, the other people were quite supportive of this matter, after all, the slain Tusi was indeed in the village, but soon, these people were not satisfied with the property they received from the Tusi, and they began to collect money from the civilians, and finally formed a gang.

This trend soon swept across the entire radius, and bandits large and small were formed, and they not only began to gather to recruit the people, but even started a war with each other, and finally established the order of seats like raising Gu. And the gang that caused the bandits at the beginning actually won the final victory in this great war, and became the well-deserved bandit king, sitting on the best territory, and regularly receiving tribute from other gangs.

Due to the inaction of the government, these gangs now have their own foreign guns and cannons, and even well-trained subordinates, relying on the unique local terrain in the deep mountains, even the well-armed warlords dare not attack them easily.

I am afraid that in the near future, they will gradually become new warlords and expand their territory!

After listening to this, Xiao Nan said: "So, how long did this bandit last?" ”

The old man thought for a moment before answering, "I'll do the math...... It's probably been more than 50 years...... I remember hearing about them when I was a young man......"

"That's not right, it's been fifty years, they want to expand their territory early, but they still just want to be a bandit, not want to dominate the world." Xiao Nan said.

"Maybe they think that's too much trouble!" "Anyway, we can't guess their thoughts, we just can't live anymore because of their tosses." Our village is okay, there are many villages, it is said that because of the rebellion against them, they were all killed, even the newborn children were not spared. ”

"So, even if civilians want to resist the bandits, it's absolutely impossible, right?"

"No way." The leader shook his head and said, "There have been people who resisted, but those people went to kill some bandits, and they eventually became bandits, and the upright people were also killed in the end." ”

"When I was young, I heard that the bandit king Ragu has magical powers, and everyone who can see him must submit to him, and no one can escape his magic eye." The old man said with a nose and eyes, "He is full of mountains of gold and silver in his cave, he is with the devil, and he has made a deal with the devil, so he is invincible and immortal."

Raghu is still alive and reigns over Mount Kinabalu, the deepest part of the bandits' territory. ”

"It may also be that Raghu's position has long been passed down to his son, and 'Raghu' is just a name, and it has been passed down along with his position." The leader added, "No one can live forever, only the evil thoughts of gangsters will last forever." ”

The village elder said angrily: "Ragu does not believe in the ancestral gods, he curses the ancestral gods and worships demons, so he has gained great power. He forbade us to sacrifice to the ancestral gods, and destroyed the altars, and one day the ancestral gods would curse him and punish him. ”

In fact, it doesn't matter whether you sacrifice or not. Xiao Nan said in his heart.

"Master, it's been a long time since we've had such a happy chat, and if you'll allow you, I'd like to invite someone from the village to come to my house for dinner in the evening." "You must be a very knowledgeable person, and we all want to hear about you outside." Maybe one day, our children and grandchildren will be able to leave here and suffer no more. ”

"My lord is not in good health, and he is tired enough along the way, so let's let our companions tell you about it." Lu Hua interjected.

"It's okay, I'll ......" Before Xiao Nan finished speaking, someone in the village shouted outside the bamboo building, shouting something.

At this time, it was almost dark, Miao Feng and the others also went out for about a long time, and when they heard the shouting, the village elder and the head people all ran outside, it seemed that something big had happened.

Xiao Nan also wanted to get up and take a look, and Lu Hua hurriedly said, "Master! I'll take a look for you! ”

Lu Hua walked quickly to the window, and saw that every household in the village had gone out and walked to the road leading to the mountain.

This village is very small, you can see the head at a glance, and the people in the village are so excited because Miao Feng and his party are back.

Miao Feng rode a mule, walking slowly in front, and on the flat cart pulled by the mule behind lay two incredibly large wild boars! He was pushed by three people to be able to walk, while the people behind him carried a bamboo pole with hares and wild chickens.

"Sir! It's Miao Ye, they're back! They are fully loaded! "Ashi flower road.

"Ah, I see. I thought something was wrong! Xiao Nan said. He said it lightly, obviously not surprised by this result - with Miao Feng's skills, it is strange that he can't hit the prey, even if the climate is relatively cold now, it must not be difficult for this group of supermen.

As soon as Miao Feng and the others entered the village, the three sons of the old leader began to talk about the deeds of Lin Yi and Miao Feng, how good their marksmanship was, and how strong Lei Xue was - she could actually hold the wild boar running wild with one hand!

The locals admired and warriors, and they all cast admiring eyes on Miao Feng and Linyi, and Miao Feng said that the prey could be distributed to the villagers as a reward for taking them in, and they would only take some of them as food for the road, which made people cheer. The prey needed to be dealt with immediately, and the whole village was dispatched, and in a place of joy, no one asked questionsβ€”

In the end, Miao Feng, how did they find so many prey.

In fact, it mainly relies on Linyi's superpower - once his super sense of smell is activated, it is ten times more sensitive than that of a hound.

It's really a catch.

Wanyue was very prescient and prepared all the side dishes with Xiao Xiao, and waited for the fresh pork and rabbit meat to be put on the board and then cooked directly.

There were not many families in the village at all, and in the midst of the busyness, they set up a long table banquet that had not been set up for a long time, which in previous years only had major festivals and festivities, and had not really been set up in the last ten years.

And these prey feasts for a long table are enough for these few families in the village.

In this pollution-free era, the game in the mountains and forests tastes extraordinarily delicious, just put it in a pot and add a handful of salt, and the fragrance can spread far away.

The mountain village, which is dark at night on weekdays, is lit up tonight, and the villagers take meat and vegetables, and they are not in a hurry to eat, but sing ancient songs and offer them to their ancestors and gods.

It was as if they had returned to a primitive society, where everyone shared food around the fire, eating and singing, as if they had vaguely found some joy and wealth that had long since disappeared.

Only Xiao Nan was still in the bamboo building, opening the small stove while looking at the scene below from the window.

Many years later, the children here will grow up, maybe they will leave here, maybe the village will cease to exist. Man's evil intentions never end, and even if they are isolated from the world, as long as there is the slightest incitement, evil desires will spread like wildfire.

And the endless evil desires continue to accumulate and expand, and they will β€”β€”β€”β€”

Recruited

Fuxi.

A small figure poked his head from the door, and finally he walked in, it was the youngest son of the headman, and he took out a gift from behind him and gave it to Xiao Nan:

"Brother Master, this is for you! You treat us very well, you are the brother of our tribe, this is my baby! ”

It turned out to be a bone flute made of animal bones, but the material of the animal bones was extremely peculiar, like white jade, slippery, I don't know what kind of beast bones, Xiao Nan took the bone flute, patted his head and said, "Shall I blow it to you?" ”

"This bone flute is an heirloom in my family, treasure, it was handed down by my grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's grandfather, in short, it is the stuff of my ancestors, Abba gave it to me, but it can't be blown out, I can't blow it anymore! Abba didn't teach me how to blow either. Since the death of his eldest brother, he has never blown it again. The little boy said.

Xiao Nan smiled and moved the bone flute to his lips.

The melodious sound of the flute pierced the night sky and floated into the laughter and laughter, and suddenly, everyone involuntarily quieted down, letting the ethereal flute fly.

It was the beginning of the beginning, and the first flute music taught by Fuxi to the first mortals in ignorance was the oldest music.

The eternal music even made ripples in everyone's heart, like the chirping of a whale hidden in the deep sea, triggering the kind of long-term memories buried in the genetic bloodline, which makes people sad and happy and so reminiscent.

Miao Feng listened to the flute, he opened his lips slightly, and sang a "song" without lyrics with the flute, which was the earliest harmony made by human beings with Fuxi's music, and there were no words that were given various meanings, only the purest emotional "sound".

It is the song of the long-standing stone carvings of the original country,

Leisurely World,

Only this soul is in perfect harmony that can play a song, a song that can be sung.

The sound of the flute was over, and the aftermath seemed to linger endlessly, Xiao Nan looked at Miao Feng and showed a happy smile.

It was as if he looked at the first son of man who answered the sound of his flute.

Miao Feng covered his heart and bowed slightly to him, while Xiao Nan also bowed to him in return.

It's just life and life saluting each other.

Although they are different, there are always times when they have a little bit of similarity.

Just for this moment, just for this person, upside down, thousands of times,

And how?
