Chapter 5 Preliminary Examination

Time is like an arrow that flies, inadvertently, it runs away without a trace with a brush.

Two years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the second cub of the bear who ran around the ground two years ago is now five years old.

In the past two years, Qu Dan's body growth rate has not slowed down at all, not only has his height increased by two feet, but the strength on his body has also risen in a geometric way. Now, with all his strength, he can already have five or six hundred catties of strength, which is equivalent to one-third or one-quarter of an adult.

In the evening, after an unusually "sumptuous dinner", the family sat around and discussed the latest events.

"Hey, I'm sixteen years old, and he's an adult. Mother-in-law, our family has also gathered more than 100 bear skins, are you going to change a cub for a woman to come back?" Bu Hu sat cross-legged on the ground, picking his teeth with a huge animal bone the thickness of a thumb, "Just go to the Chijia Village next door to change, the women in their village have thick waists and big buttocks, and they are all good at giving birth to children...... If it's a little farther away, go to the village of the black bear tribe on the other side of the mountain, you're from there, and by the way, I can ask you Abba's about them......"

Eminem cleaned up the broken bones in the room and muttered, "What do you say to me about these things, I don't understand ...... woman"

Bu Hu nodded and said: "But this matter has to be put aside first, tomorrow is the day of the warrior test, the cubs in the village who have reached the age of five will go to the test, and the second cub will also go to see it tomorrow, if it passes, it will have to go to the tribe in two days." Hey, my cub, this sturdy man, as long as those warriors of the tribe take a look, they will definitely rush to ask for it. ”

As he spoke, he grabbed the song sheet that was rolling his eyes and burping into his hand.

Abba pinched him a few times and nodded in satisfaction.

With a height of about one meter three, he is about to catch up with the time when he is seven or eight years old, with a body of muscles that have begun to take shape, revealing beautiful lines. Of course, Abba doesn't know anything about one meter three, nor does he know any beautiful lines, he just thinks that the second cub grows up very quickly and looks like a man.

Qu Shan struggled to struggle, the big hands were like iron hoops on his body, and he didn't break free, he mustered up his strength and kicked Abba in the stomach.

"Ah!" a cry of pain, Qu Shan took the opportunity to slip down and hide far away in the corner of the house.

This kick is conservatively estimated to have hundreds of catties of strength, and kicking on the belly that has just been eaten will not be able to stand it even if it is beaten with iron.

"Second cub, what are you doing so hard, kicking your Abba to death. Abba clutched his stomach and shouted, "Haha, my cub, this strength is not comparable to that of ordinary cubs, and if they don't become warriors, they will all be blind." ”

............

In the center of Bujia Village, there is a high platform in all directions.

Early the next morning, seventeen or eighteen cubs lined up in an orderly manner, standing in front of the high platform with anticipation, waiting for the upcoming warrior test.

This is an annual event in the village, and the adults leave their work in their hands and gather around from afar, in groups of three or five, speaking loudly in thick voices.

"There are eighteen cubs this year, I wonder if we can pass one or two?" asked a man.

"I don't know, hey, how many years has it been since there been a real warrior in the village?" replied the other man.

"Eleven years, or twelve years......," the previous man rolled his eyes and muttered.

"I hope there will be one this time. ”

............

On the stage, the old man who baptized Qu Shan was sitting in a chair sickly and did not move. He was even thinner than he had been five years ago, his eyes were deep-set, and his cloudy gaze stared blankly at the cubs below, his eyes empty and unfocused, as if he had passed through them and looked into the far void.

This is the "first test" of the warriors, and before being sent to the tribe, the children in the village must first undergo a preliminary screening, and only if they pass the initial test, they can be further sent to the tribe.

There are seventeen cubs in the same year as the song list, and with the song list, there are eighteen in total.

Today, here, will be the place where their fate will be decided.

If it passes, needless to say, in the future, the sea will be wide and the sky will be high and the birds will fly, and the fate will be different from then on; if they are unfortunately brushed down, what awaits them will be to hunt and hunt day after day, and after ten or twenty years, they will go out to marry a woman and come back, give birth to a litter of cubs, train them until they are five years old, and then carry out the next test......

Two completely different lives, although the cubs have never been out of the village, they have occasionally heard Abba Eminem talk about the outside world, and their hearts are full of yearning.

"Let's get started. The old man said to Bu Hu, who was standing aside. His voice was hoarse and deep, like a broken gong.

Bu Hu nodded, opened his throat and shouted, "Bu Python, come forward!"

The cub at the front of the line stepped onto the high platform and stood in front of the old man in two steps, standing proudly with his chest erect.

The old man glanced at him with a cloudy gaze, from head to foot, a flash of light in his eyes, and then stretched out his hand to grope back and forth on his body.

After a while, the old man shook his head.

No play!

The straight chest seemed to have been hit hard, and it collapsed in an instant, and Bu Python's four heads hung down, and he walked down the high platform without a word.

"Next!" Bu Hu didn't squint, ignoring his failure. In his heart, as long as his own cubs can be selected, he doesn't care much about whether other families can pass or not.

Perhaps it was the shadow of Bu Python's defeat, the second cub was obviously a little stage frightened, he glanced at the crowd in the distance apprehensively, hesitated for a moment, and then stepped onto the high platform.

The old man also roamed around him with his gaze, but this time he didn't use his hands to grope for it, but shook his head directly.

Still failing!

Next, the third, did not pass.

Fourth ......

Fifth, sixth, seventh......

The tracklist at the back of the line began to get nervous. Originally, he was full of confidence, thinking that the warrior test was just that, what a five-year-old child could test, compared to the size and strength, the stronger one passed, and the less powerful went home.

However, seven or eight children came down in a row, and not even one of them succeeded.

Among them, there was a cub who was only half an inch shorter than Qu Dan, and his strength was surprisingly great, but the old man only glanced at him lightly, and then shook his head to deny him, not even meaning to test half a point.

I can't understand the song list, what is the old man testing?

A few more people passed, and the number of people in the team quickly decreased, and yes, but still no one succeeded.

It's the turn of the cub in front of Qu List, it's the one from Niu Wujia next door, a whole head shorter than Qu Dan, and Bu Hu even laughed at him two years ago for only playing with bone scum under the eaves.

The old man looked at him with a godless gaze, up and down. This time it took a long time to watch, and after the tea, an inexplicable smile suddenly appeared on his indifferent dead face.

The old man grinned an ugly smile. He tried to be kind, but the two rows of leaky teeth set off his face in the dark.

"Little cub, come here. The old man laughed.

The cub of the Niu Wu family stood helplessly, his eyes flashing with unease. He glanced left and right, and after a while, he walked forward.

"Don't be afraid, little cub, you are promising. The old man said with a smile, two wizened paws groping for him.

After touching it, the smile on the old man's face was even better.

"Look at me with your eyes and concentrate. The old man said.

The cub of the Niu Five family raised his head obediently.

"Yes, yes, the bones are growing well, the mental strength is also outstanding, and he is a good seedling. The old man nodded and said to Bu Hu on the side, "This cub is good, in a few days, you can take it to the tribe." ”

Passed?!......

Qu Shan was stunned, his mouth wide open enough to stuff an egg.
