Chapter II

Hearing Qiao's insults outside the shed, he hurriedly ran out of the shed, watching the clansmen look at Qiao's and point, he stepped forward angrily and slapped Qiao's loud mouth and shouted: "Go back to the shed, don't be embarrassed and conspicuous in front of the clansmen." Qiao Shi cried at Yu Ci: "You beat me, if it weren't for the mourning star and the little demon girl she gave birth to, how could my daughter become like that?" ”

Tang walked out of the shed and shouted: "Big brother, you can beat my sister, my sister is right, Wang Qi's family is a mourning star, since she joined the clan for many years, the clan has been plagued, and now it is implicated in the eldest brother's household, I think the mourning star and the little demon girl Shentang are directly counted." ”

Yan Ci pointed at Tang and shouted: "Shut up, I can put up with you on weekdays, you are becoming more and more disagreeable." ”

"What's wrong with me, what do you mean when I say big brother, don't forget, my man is the leader, if we hadn't helped you all those years, would you be where you are today?"

In the tent, the more the leader Yi listened, the more angry he became, and he angrily walked out of the shed and shouted: "Shut up for me, if you dare to talk nonsense again, don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless." Tang stopped squeaking when he heard this, and angrily dragged his son Lang to glance at the surrounding clansmen and muttered, and went into his own shed very uncomfortably.

On the slope of the east cliff, Ah Hua looked at Wang Qi with a serious face obediently, she stretched out her hand to hold her mother Wang Qi's cheek and said: "Mother, mother doesn't cry, Ah Hua doesn't make mother angry, Ah Hua will take care of her mother." Wang Qi's left hand patted the sleeping ancestor, looked up at the young and immature daughter Ahua and smiled, she nodded lightly.

The red water of alder is the crown of Danlu in the south, the hometown of bamboo forest, the terrain is mostly hilly, and the forest is deep and dense. Here, people are thriving and fireworks are abundant. has been reproducing for hundreds of years, and finally passed on this vein, he is Jiang Shennong's family. Legend has it that the Jiang clan is the ancestor of Wa Niangniang to subdue the auspicious rui, scattering the valley all over the mountains and rivers, planting the peach season everywhere and fragrant flowers. Here, rivers and streams are crisscrossed, and animals and birds are everywhere. After several generations of people have been diligent and educated, they have fed the millet beasts and birds in the mountains and streams, as well as the fragrance of willows and flowers, which has made the Jiang family more and more vigorous. But the good times did not last long, because of the drought in the early spring a few years ago, the big floor was knotted, and the Hanlin was smoking, which caused the Hercules clan of the clan to abandon the clan and flee to other places, so that the Jiang Shennong clan gradually declined, and now it has survived the hunger and suffering.

The Jiang Shennong clan has been in charge of the clan for decades since the chieftain Shennong, and the clan has been a sparse number of people, and the alliance of the clans has been divided and divided. Shennong, the big chief of the Jiang Shennong clan, tried to get back Ganshi in the South China Sea several times, but he was defeated and retreated to Nanyue several times, causing the power of the Dongli clan to form the climate to become more and more powerful, and the Jiang Shennong clan was no longer in his eyes. Since the day when Jiang Shen's clan respected Shennong as the chief of the clan, the Dongli clan attacked Jiang Shennong's clan at night in order to protect their own power, and this battle caused Jiang Shennong's clan to flee in defeat. The patriarch of the Dongli tribe, Harrier, was also unfortunately killed by an arrow in the battle, and Harrier's sixteen-year-old son Chiyou took over the Dongli tribe. After the death of his father, he led his own warriors to invade all the way west, and finally stopped in Ganshi, a fertile land in the south, changed the Dongli tribe to the Jiuli clan, and personally led the eighty-one clan brothers to conquer in all directions, so that countless barren tribes rushed to the alliance, causing the Jiuli tribe to become a strong clan in the south of Middle-earth, and Chiyou was also respected by the tribe as the chief of the Jiuli tribe because of his outstanding military achievements.

To say that in the early days of the establishment of the Jiuli clan, Chiyou was also a person who was kind to the heart, and built a nest for the nomadic tribes who came to the alliance without much spare strength, and it was also called the prestige of the male lord, but many barren tribes who returned to the Jiuli clan were not good-hearted, and they dug traps several times to attack Jiuli at night, and almost killed Chiyou. From then on, Chi You was furious, and built a named punishment platform in Ganshi, so that the clansmen killed a group of unfaithful desolate tribe slaves, this killing was a river of blood, so that the blood in the Beixi Valley stained the Red Creek River for more than a full month, and Chi You has since been charged with the crime of killing people without blinking.

The Xiling clan heard that the Jiuli clan Chiyou led the northern expedition and wanted to seize the Xiling Mountains, which made the leader Yi Yi and the old witch Zhu Buzhan a little more worried. Over the years, the Xiling clan has never been an enemy of foreign clans, although there is no war, but it is also cautious and subtle everywhere, always afraid of causing trouble if things are not done properly, and the rules of the Xiling clan have always been very strict and harsh.

On this day, the patriarch of the Jiuli clan, Pi Jiu, led a team of clansmen to the south to survey the wasteland, and happened to meet the warriors of the Xiling clan, and the two fought over a stag. The Jiuli tribe Pi Jiu saw that the concubine Zhi was superb in martial arts, so he pretended to retreat to Ganshi, and gathered nearly 100 people to kill Xiling Mountain, and the defenseless Xiling clan died tragically countless clansmen overnight.

The Xiling clan, which has no combat power, has become a frightened bird, and the old witch Zhu Bu Zhan convened everyone to discuss, and respected Xuan Xuan as the leader of the Xiling clan, this Xuan Xuan was originally the son of the head of the clan in front of the Yi tent, although he was seventeen or eighteen years old, but the martial arts of Wenzhi were quite graceful, but he was too harsh. Concubine Xuan led the Xiling clan and the Jiuli clan chief Pi Jiu to fight in the mountain pass, and what was unexpected was that Pi Jiu actually beat Pi Jiu and vomited blood and almost died in the Xiling Pass.

Pi Jiu fled back to the Jiuli clan and told the big chief Chi You about it, Chi You listened to Pi Jiu's chatter, and immediately became angry, to say that Pi Jiu is a nameless rat, relying on his father Pi Pi to throw off the Jiu Li clan before the Xiang Shi dared to be debauched, all day long in addition to eating, drinking and having fun is rape and plunder, although Pi Jiu Gu is notorious, but he has a good mind, there are a lot of intrigues, because his father is highly respected in the clan, the clansmen can only close their eyes and let it go. Therefore, Pi Jiu was punished for invading the foreign clan without authorization, but that punishment was only to cover the eyes and ears of the clansmen.

The Xiling clan's concubine Xuan knew that he had injured the Jiuli clan's Pi Jiu and caused a catastrophe, and Xingye led the Xiling clan of less than 100 people to flee to the dangerous place of Wolf Tuo Peak in the eastern part of Xiling Mountain. Since then, the woman Tang Yi, the leader of the Xiling clan, and Qiao, the woman of the Xiling clan, have naturally become the women of the concubine, and the eldest son of the concubine Xuan, naturally sat on the throne of the head of the Xiling clan. Concubine Xuan ordered his own brother to be a warrior, his father Fan Zun was the elder of the clan, Bu Zhan was the old witch Zhu, and his righteous brother Taonan was the prime minister. Although the Xiling people were extremely dissatisfied with the behavior of the father and son, they could do nothing under the strong force, so they had to give in and obey.

The Xiling clan was robbed, and the concubine Xuan led the clan to flee to Xiling Wolf Tuoling to survive, but left the mother and daughter of the Wang Qi clan in the cliff cave of the East Cliff Slope behind. The Jiuli clan summoned 200 clansmen to attack the Xiling clan at night but they pounced, and in desperation, Chiyou could only lead the clan to return to Nanganshi.

Xiling clan was tragically attacked by foreign tribes at night, which really scared the mother and daughter of Wang Qi's family who lived on the east cliff slope, but in the dead of night, Wang Qi's family took advantage of the moonlight night to return to the withered and dilapidated clan to check, when she looked at her husband's concubine, the eldest brother and the warrior concubine's body hanging on the door beam, she immediately cried bitterly. She personally buried her husband and sister, her eldest brother and the warrior Zhi, and buried more than 100 people who died tragically in the Xiling Valley. After a busy night, I finally ushered in a glimmer of light in the morning in the east. The light breeze blew from the mountains, Wang Qi looked back at everything behind him, led his righteous daughter Ah Hua with tears, and carried his daughter and ancestor to the cliff cave on the east cliff slope.

The stream flows in the Xiling mountain stream, and the sound of singing can be heard in the mountains.

"The mountains are windy and rainy, the autumn wind blows all over the ridge overnight, the delicate sunset is intoxicating, leaving the red glow to dye the red river stream once in spring, see when the rising full moon comes, and I don't know when to go ......"

Ah Hua sat by the stream and knitted her straw skirt while moaning, and the stream reflected her bewitching figure was so dignified and beautiful. On the willow trees by the river, a few finches come and go, flapping their wings, sometimes hidden in the clear sky, and sometimes hidden in the forest and river. The maple forest in the West Mountain is red, that is what happened overnight last night, dyeing the whole mountainside, in addition to the beauty of red, it is a warmth sent by early summer.

Wang Qishi came back from Xigang with a wooden stick and her ancestor sleeping in a bamboo basket on her back, and she came to the stream to pick up her righteous daughter Ahua and walked to the east cliff slope. Ah Hua picked a wild flower on the side of the road and inserted it on Wang Qi's head and said, "Mother, the fruit of Xishan is almost ripe." Wang Qishi smiled and took out a few fruits from the hanging bag and handed them to Ah Hua and said, "It's almost ripe." ”

The mother and daughter returned to the East Cliff Slope, and Ah Hua helped the mother put down the bamboo basket on her back, picked up a cherry fruit and shook it in front of the ancestor. Suddenly, Baby Zhantian smiled and said, "Sister, sister." Ah Hua was stunned for a moment, and she shouted loudly: "Mother, mother, come quickly." ”

Wang Qi hurriedly ran out of the cliff platform and said, "Hua'er, what's wrong?" Ah Hua pointed to her ancestor and said, "Zu'er calls me sister." ”

Wang Qi stepped forward and looked at the delicate and smiling ancestor and said, "Nonsense, my sister is only three months old, how can I call my sister?" ”

"Really, Zu'er really called me sister."

"Okay, take a good look at my sister, my mother has gone to make food."

Ah Hua knelt on her knees by the bamboo basket of her ancestor and scratched her head and muttered: Zu'er, I obviously heard you call my sister, why didn't my mother believe it? She took out a few cherry fruits from a small hanging bag and said, "Zu'er, the cherry leaves in the West Mountain are red, and my mother said that the mountain fruits are almost ripe, and we can go up the mountain to pick fruits in a few days." The ancestor of the bamboo basket danced her hands vigorously, as if she could understand what she was saying.

Under the oil lamp, Wang Qi and Ah Hua were eating the barbecue on the fire while thinking about picking cherry fruits, summer harvest food is a very important thing for them, only summer fruit food to satisfy hunger, late autumn to collect enough food, in order to ensure that winter snow days do not go hungry.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the gate outside the cave, and Wang Qi picked up the bamboo fork and walked to the entrance of the cave and asked softly, "Who?" ”

"Erniang, I'm Da Zhuang."

Wang Qi leaned the bamboo mark on the side of the cave entrance, vigilantly opened the gate, and a boy about ten years old came in from outside the cave, and he handed two pieces of fresh meat in his hand to Wang Qi and said: "Erniang, my father went up the mountain today to beat a small beast, and my mother asked me to send two hanging meats over." ”

Wang Qi took the meat and looked at it and said, "Da Zhuang, the meat sent last time hasn't been eaten yet, your family has a large population, tell your father and your mother not to send it in the future." Da Zhuang looked at the ancestor in the basket and said, "Father said, the Xiling clan has moved away, and our two families have to help them live." ”
