Chapter 6: Doubts

The old man looked up at the sky with a thoughtful expression.

In his field of vision, the sky was completely obscured by the canopy of trees, and only a small patch in the center let in sunlight. At the edge of the sun, there is a circle of blue sky, which is the only sky that can be seen.

The old man said slowly, "You may want to be powerful, but I'm different. From a very young age, I've been curious, curious about a lot of things that we take for granted. There are many things that we only know exist, but we don't know why. Now, I am also old, and I guess it will be a few years before I will leave the camp and return to the earth. But these questions have always bothered me, and there is never an answer. ”

"What's the problem?" Haruka asked.

The girl was intrigued, and the people around her listened with bated breath to know what was bothering the elder, who had always been known for his wisdom and erudition.

The elder smiled and said, "That's all there are to it. Like, where do we come from? What were our ancestors like? What is there beyond our forest, and what is the world beyond, beyond the blue sky above us, where is the temple where the souls of our ancestors dwell? ”

There was silence in the crowd, and many people may have thought of similar questions before, but they only passed by and did not think deeply. And the elder's words reminded them of the childhood when their imagination was unrestrained.

The elder sighed and said, "Maybe the ancestors didn't know these questions. Even if they knew and told us, it wouldn't help our settlement. I will carefully discuss the issue of sacrifice with the elders. If you have any good ideas, you can also bring them up. ”

Then, the elder looked at Gray Eagle and smiled, "Gray Eagle, you have always been an excellent warrior. But now, I would say, you are already one of the most outstanding samurai. Maybe it won't be long before you'll be eligible to inherit the Ancestral Weapon. ”

"Arrows, I remember that you didn't like to practice swords since you were a child, but bows and arrows are also a must-have skill for hunters. Now it seems that you made a good choice. ”

"And you, Haruka. You're still young, but being able to take part in the battle to slay baboons is an invaluable experience. Maybe it won't be long before you'll be like your father and become a great hunter! ”

Gray Eagle and Flying Arrow shook their heads at the same time, and Haruka waved his hand vigorously and said loudly, "Elder, you are mistaken, we didn't kill the baboon. ”

The elder's face froze, and he wondered, "It's not you, then who else?" Look at the baboon's wounds, this is not prey to pick up. ”

Haruka pointed behind him and said, "He is the one who killed the baboon." Without him, we would have met such a powerful baboon, and it would have only become food. ”

Everyone looked in the direction of the girl's finger, and then they saw the yellow spring that had been standing at the edge of the valley.

Several young men immediately drew their weapons, pointed at Huang Quan, and shouted, "A stranger has come in!" "Kill him!" "He's a cannibal!"

Standing in front of Huang Quan, he shouted, "He will speak to us!" He's not a cannibal! ”

The young men were skeptical, and their swords were lowered. Several elders looked at each other, and one of them stepped forward, looked at Huang Quan carefully, and said, "I have never seen such a costume, and there is no settlement in any of them. ”

Haruka said anxiously: "The cannibal doesn't have such a costume either!" ”

The Great Elder walked over, motioned for everyone to be quiet, and then asked Huang Quan, "Who are you and where are you from?" Did you kill the baboon? ”

Huang Quan's face was expressionless and he said, "You can call me Huang Quan." As for the baboon, ask her. ”

As soon as he spoke, the nervous expressions on everyone's faces faded considerably.

There are quite a few humanitarians: "He will really say our words!" Probably from some distant settlement, maybe he's been in the forest for too long. ”

"Yes, the last time I was chased by an ogre, I only stayed in the forest for one more day, and I came back in a bit of a trance."

The Great Elder looked at Huang Quan and asked, "Where are you from?" ”

"One...... Far away. ”

When the Great Elder asked again, Huang Quan couldn't remember clearly.

The Great Elder nodded, and asked Haruka about the situation at that time.

Haruka spoke crisply and quickly, "There was a sudden movement there, and a whole piece of ground collapsed, and when I saw him, I pulled him out. He wasn't badly wounded, but he was weak, and he could talk to us, so I wanted to bring him back. If you let him go in the forest, he will definitely die. As for the baboon, it was indeed he who killed it. ”

The girl briefly said how to kill the baboon, and the process was indeed very simple, the baboon demon knocked Huang Quan down, and then he hit the two hunting knives in Huang Quan's hand, and he died.

Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, and it was obvious that if it hadn't come out of Haruka's mouth, and the Gray Eagle and the Hunter Arrow, who were samurai, had not refuted it, no one would have believed it, and this luck was really good.

The Great Elder said slowly, "Together with us, there are several surrounding settlements where excellent hunters and warriors die at the hands of baboons every year. And in the last thirty years, we haven't killed a single baboon. With this merit alone, I am willing to accept you to settle in the settlement for the time being. Specific things, Xiao Yao will tell you. ”

The Great Elder turned to the Gray Eagle and said, "You don't seem to be in a very good state, so let's go to the Ancestral Pool and rest first." ”

At this time, Feijian walked over, patted Huang Quan's shoulder, and said, "Come and live with me, I would like to hear your story." ”

Huang Quan's brows furrowed slightly, his fingers moved slightly, the hand of the flying arrow was too close to his neck, he instinctively wanted to point at the outstretched claw, but finally forcibly endured it.

The arrows were friendly along the way, and the current movements did not show a dangerous aura. Besides, looking at the appearance of this group of people, to a large extent, they are still in the primitive tribal system, and most of them don't know much about etiquette and rules.

It is even more impossible for them to know how noble their status as the prince of the empire is, not to mention that the empire may not exist a long time ago.

The archer landed on Huang Quan's shoulder, and suddenly shivered, as if he had just passed by some great danger, and suddenly he couldn't laugh.

At this time, Yao walked over, pulled over the Yellow Spring, and said to the flying arrow: "Your broken place is as messy as a pig's nest, it stinks to death, what is there to go, he lives with me." ”

Flying Arrow said embarrassedly: "I want to soak animal skins!" Of course, there will be some taste, which good hunter has so many accountants? Besides, where does he sleep when your space is so small? ”

"Sleep in my bed, of course!" Haruka is rightfully authentic.

"Ah, that, you ......" Flying Arrow stammered, not knowing what to say.

At this time, a very strong young man came over and said unceremoniously: "Haruka, he is so weak, he is not suitable for you at all!" ”

Haruka puffed up his chest and said loudly: "Who to choose, I have the final say!" ”

The young man's face was gloomy, and he said, "Settlements have rules for settlements, don't you forget." ”

Haruka snorted and said coldly: "When the wind in the forest turns cold, I'll knock you all down, won't it?" ”

"You're no match for me right now, not even when the wind is cold."

Yao's eyebrows were erected, like an enraged female leopard, and he raised his voice: "I hate you very much, you already have Luo Ya, with Lin Wei, why are you still not satisfied?" ”

The young man sneered, "The most powerful baboon demon can have all the mother beasts, this is the tradition of the forest. ”

Haruka snorted: "The most powerful baboon demon has just been killed!" ”

The young man's face froze, and he shouted with a little shame: "No matter what, the rules are like this. When the wind is cool, you will be my woman! Until then, if you do something, know the consequences. ”

He pointed to Huang Quan again and said, "You wait for me, when the wind is cold, it will be your death!" ”

Although Huang Quan didn't know how many winds and waves he had experienced, this sudden encounter still made him speechless. And this young man is obviously very arrogant, he turned around and left after the cruel words, not giving Huang Quan a chance to fight back at all.

Yao Yi pulled Huang Quan and said, "Don't pay attention to that idiot of Juyan, I will clean him up when the time comes." ”

Huang Quan finally couldn't help but show a little edge: "Do you want me to kill him now?" ”

Yao said angrily: "You are so weak, what are you bragging?!" ”

She dragged him over Huangquan, carried him directly on her shoulders, and moved back to her residence.
