Vol. 1 Borderless City Prologue Feathered People (7)
Strange to say, for a considerable period of time after that, no more feathered people were missing in the tribe, and the small organization of the Heavenly Wheel went out at night to search for clues about the little black people, and at the same time tried to find some connection between the disappearances of the tribesmen. But almost nothing. The daylight provided by Saturn for them always seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, and the suspicions between the feathered people were like fog, and the heavenly wheel was surprised by the loose structure of the race, as if the power of the Ten Thousand Rivers was simply a castle in the air. He couldn't believe it was so easy to dismantle the other party, but it was, based on the steady stream of information from Di and the Ponzi sisters, which he had almost never heard of before.
"But in the past, my mother always said that the patriarch of Wanhe was blessed by God." Pang told him, "God loves him." ”
"Has God ever shown how he likes him?"
"We haven't seen it, but everyone knows it."
This is a paradoxical answer. Wan Ha lives on the shores of Crab Lake at the southernmost end of the Sea of Trees, and his spouse's house is a natural growth of one of the oldest coniferous banyan trees, which is almost a forest of its own, and is known as the "City of Trees". Legend has it that Tree City is even older than this group. On a daytime with a fairly good view, Yi Tianlun took a curious look, and it was indeed extraordinary. Thinking of the shabby wooden house that Fei Ying and himself had lived in for many years, for some reason a wave of anger surged into his heart. The beautiful flower-dotted terrace behind the tree city is a testament to the miserable plight of their mother and son: the feathers of the clan were unwilling to give them food and soup, and for many nights, the helpless Fei Ying had to hold the hungry and secretly wept and coaxed him to sleep obediently and eat the tender barbecue that did not exist on the silica crystal.
Every day, Yi Tianlun still finds a hidden place to live around Fei Ying's tree house. He wrote down the names of every male feather who came to visit her, who was nice to her, and who beat her, and it was clear to the Heavenly Wheel that he would settle another account with this tribe in a few days.
One night, the Wheel of Heaven secretly placed a bird that he had shot by the window. But for a strange moment, he felt as if someone was watching him from behind. However, there is an endless jungle on the back. The spring water melted the glaciers, washed away the fallen leaves deposited in the silt, and the bright Saturn was in the sky, and something fled into the depths of the jungle in the dark night.
Etianlun suspects that he has been discovered. But what was it that found him? And how could he be convinced that it was beneficial to hide himself from them?
On the same day, two disappearances and a murder occurred at the other end of the Feather Settlement. It was a young woman who died, and judging from the wounds, the little girl was shot down by a hook and fork on the way home from the terrace of the soup, and the fate was extremely pitiful. The hook and fork is a weapon given to hunters by the gods, and cannot be made by the feathered people themselves, so they can only be distributed to the strongest feathered people in the clan. The Wheel of Heaven never allowed anyone to commit a murder, and the best way to create an enemy is to drum, which only attracts unnecessary attention. But it looks like someone did it after all, and the target is still such a child who has no real threat.
When it was time for the meeting, Yi Tianlun walked towards the barren tree with a puzzled mood, observing the movement around the dimly lit surroundings along the way. After hibernation, he lived alone in the depths of the earth for a while, and thanks to that experience, he felt that his senses were sharper than before.
He felt that the little blacks were going out on a large scale. What do they do when they take the feathered people? The Wheel of Heaven initially deduced that these despicable alien races were likely from underground, just below the soil sucked dry by the roots of the baobab trees, and the plants on the surface caused trouble, unleashing ominous powers underground.
The Heavenly Wheel hid in the shadows for a while, observing the crowd under the tree: Toru Khan, Thor, Di, Huangsun, and the Pang Sisters, all of them were there, but no one was holding a hook or fork, and no one had a trace of blood on them. No, they didn't kill people. The Wheel of Heaven draws conclusions. The feather people are not good at hiding their feelings, and the excitement and frenzy after plundering cannot be hidden.
After waiting for a while, the crowd looked anxious, and young Dee and Thor looked around, as if ready to leave, so the Heavenly Wheel appeared just in time, savoring the expectant gaze. These people are waiting for their own ideas. Celestial Wheel realized, surprised by the sluggishness and clumsiness of the people. Why didn't you realize it before?
"The whole tribe was in an uproar." Pang said.
"Whose child died? Who is missing? ”
"It was Hulk's youngest daughter who died." Huang Sun said.
Pang who spoke, showed a look of sudden realization: "There is a small tree house next to the big tree house, which belongs to their mother and daughter, right?" ”
"yes." Huang Sun shook his head, "Pathetic! ”
"The missing one is called Blue Feather, and the other is called Toya, both of whom are beautiful women."
"What is the relationship between their relatives and Wan He?" After saying this, Yi Tianlun noticed that Di looked at him cautiously.
"What are you going to do?" Toru Khan asked.
"We want to divide the relationship between these people who have missing relatives and Wanhe." Yi Tianlun explained a little impatiently, why are these people so stupid?
"Sounds like a clever idea." Dee said, and it was obvious that he was the one who liked to think, "You're smart. ”
"We need to find the missing feathered man's mother, child, suitor." Echeikra told them, "We are going to direct their wrath to the rivers." One by one, the patriarch will eventually be destroyed by the hatred of the clansmen. Also, I want to make sure that the murderer of the murder is not among us. ”
"Our weapons are ordinary harpoons, not hook forks." Ou pointed at himself and Thor, who snorted.
"Me too." Huang Sun said unnecessarily, of course Yi Tianlun knew: these days, he has almost one-way contact with Huang Sun, and the exchange of information is also the most frequent.
"Female feathers don't use hooks and forks." Pang said.
All eyes were on Toru Khan.
"I don't do anything to the weak." Toru Khan said contemptuously, "It must have been some little cub who had just gotten the hook and fork to do it." ”
"Killing people will be punished." Pang glanced fearfully in the direction of Genting Mountain, and the slow blue light changed unrealistically. The Yuren were reluctant to mention those snow-capped mountains, especially Yunding Mountain. It was almost buried in the veins, the fear of God's power.
After a brief meeting, they decided to leave. Toru Khan had no shortage of spouses, but because he avoided attracting attention, he always slept alone on the night of the meeting. And Thor and Deben are inseparable siblings, and they leave together every time. But this time Dee didn't go with Thor.
"Are you coming?" Thor asked Di, and Etianchakra noticed that the wound on his broken finger had healed, and he must have been in considerable pain. However, although Torqi did not want to talk to the Heavenly Wheel more, he did not show the slightest resentment. Feathered creatures are aggressive, tough, but easy to surrender.
Dee stayed. The Wheel of Heaven waited for him to speak.
Di spread his strong wings, smoke and dust rose from the tree, and Di flew up to the treetops with the help of the wind.
"Something does seem wrong."
Etianlun was taken aback. Di seems to have the ability to read words and feelings, a rare talent for his people.
"We are a flying race, why has no one ever left this island?" Dee said, "Have you thought about it?" ”
"The missing man is gone." The Wheel reminded him, "Are they dead?" Was it buried deep in the ground or was it taken from this island? ”
"Can you fly now?" Dee asked.
Yi Tianlun nodded, and with a strong back, he stretched out his humerus and ulna, and his fully structured wings spread out like a giant umbrella behind his back. As the wings spread, the wheel felt a familiar thrill: he could fly, the smooth lines of his wings hanging down to his feet, and he could take him over all the highest mountains if he wanted to.
They flew towards the snowy field, the Aquila Cliff swept silently, the eagle's beak peaks facing the forest, and the cliffs were stacked hills since ancient times, and the bones of the feathered people from the past and present were buried underneath.
"When did these people start jumping down?" Yi Tianlun asked, but Di didn't hear. The wind slapped their faces, and all the feathers stood up and cheered in the wind. The Wheel of Etian has a wider wingspan and a leaner physique, and flies much faster than Di at top speed. The cold wind tore at his body, torture but also strength. The Wheel of Etia had never been so clearly aware that their race was born for the sky.
Looking at the sea in the distance, I suddenly felt an urge to fly over to see the mountains on the other side of the sea, but I found that it was not long before I crossed the seashore and began to have difficulty breathing. If Dee hadn't rushed over and pulled him, he would have almost gone into shock high in the air.
At the end of the stretch of white coast there are high terraces, reflecting the stars and green grass. They sat on the grass to rest, leaned on the heavenly wheel and took out the bamboo tube, pulled out the soft mud plug, and took a sip of the herbal tea inside. It's a little earthy, but it's out of the way.
"What is this?" Dee asked curiously.
"I've loved drinking this drink since I was a kid." He was told by the Heavenly Wheel, "Use stream water, wasabi, and herbs to seal in this bamboo tube, and after shaking it for a while, the water becomes very sweet." ”
Di took the bamboo tube and tasted it, looking at him with sincere admiration. "You're going to be a big guy in the future."
"Yes. I just want not to be bullied in the clan, and I have enough to eat, so I am content. ”
"Our people distinguish people from others by their strength and wingspan. But the brain is the key to determining the fate of a person or even a race. Wanhe is the best hunter, yes, but he is the patriarch by wooing and buying. ”
"And God bless."
"I said, if you become the patriarch, there will naturally be divine blessings, do you believe it?" Dee smiled mysteriously.
Etianlun understood why he always felt that his people were so stupid: because they were not intellectually similar to him. He may have been much smarter than they were. He was grateful to Dee for pointing this out for him, but couldn't say it. Years of prudence by Fei Ying's side have taught him to have reservations about his emotions.
The Heavenly Wheel stared blankly at the canopy where the warbler's treehouse was located. I wonder if my mother is asleep? Wait, just wait, and I'll free you from your misery.
