Chapter 8 The Seeers Have a Share
The small square in front of Nanku Village is covered with sand and dirt, and various weapons are placed around it. A couple of teenage children, shirtless, wore shabby shorts and beads of sweat on their bronzed skin, wielding knives and guns in the sand. The sound of fighting broke the silence of the small village.
At lunchtime, Nan Yujun and two retinues returned with three boys. The two entourages were from the local Nanku village, and they were in good health and carried two large wooden boxes on their shoulders. The three boys were about the same age, eight or nine years old, and the older boy had a disheveled head, a dirty face, and a few holes in his clothes. The boy's eyes were like torches, and the tear stains on his face could tell that he had cried a lot.
The house directly above the square has not yet officially become a council chamber, nor does it have six stone benches. Out of it came a man in his twenties, his face still wrapped in bandages, and a white cloth wrapped around his left shoulder to his armpit, faintly revealing well-developed muscles. The man was obviously seriously injured, and he looked at Nan Yujun with a puzzled expression.
Nan Yujun walked up to him and said, "I tried my best, they only let me take these three boys, and the others were all taken away!"
"Thank you!" the man coughed a few times after speaking, and his eyes were slightly sad.
Although Nan Yujun wears a hat and covers her face with black veil, all of these can't hide her charming figure, Nan Yujun is in her early twenties at this time, why she has been covering her face with black veil no one knows so far.
"Jun'er, they didn't embarrass you!" an old man with gray hair and beard walked out of the next room and looked at Nan Yujun with kind eyes.
"Father, they only let us take our three children, saying that they would go to a few people and bring a few people, if it weren't for your face, they would not give us any of them! Nan Yujun said a little angrily.
"That's it~ This group of thieves, you can arrange these three children by yourself!" he turned around and walked into the house.
After the three children drank the tears of Nanku, they were able to communicate with everyone normally. The older child was still yelling, "I'm going to find my father!, why are you separating us!" and looked at Nan Yujun and the two attendants with angry eyes.
Nan Yujun looked down at the child and said coldly, "Do you know where those people are going to take you?"
The boy pouted and stared at Nan Yujun with tears in his eyes, Nan Yujun continued: "They will treat you as slaves, those who have the ability will sell them for a good price, and the old, weak, sick and disabled may be used as bait to hunt falcon teeth!" Nan Yujun said gloomily: "If I don't bring you back, do you think you can live?"
The older child seemed to understand something, stopped calling, and glanced at the other children who had been training in the square.
"Ah......" The boy clenched his fists and roared to the sky. The "plop" boy knelt in front of Nan Yujun: "Please teach us skills, so that we can find our relatives in the future!"
"Get up! I can teach you skills, but I want to see if you can endure hardships like a few of them!" Nan Yujun turned around.
The boy touched a handful of tears, picked up a spear, walked to the open space in front of him, and gestured with the children. A satisfied smile appeared on Nan Yujun's face.
In the evening, the campfire in Nanku Village is brightly lit, around which the villagers roast the fangs of the villagers during the day, and children frolic around the fire, and several men stand in a row, and in front of them kneel six boys, each holding a bowl of wine. An older man came out and raised his wine glass, and said loudly: "Today, these six children in front of me will worship my sister Nan Yujun as their stepmother! In the future, they will be changed to Nan surnames; the eldest Nan Zichen, the second Nan Zihao, the third Nan Zizhi, the fourth Nan Ziyang, the fifth Nan Ziyun, and the sixth Nan Zixing; the six brothers must not be treacherous, cannot betray their brothers, and cannot be ungrateful, otherwise they will be like this cup!" "Bang~" The wine glass shattered, and the glass ballasts fell one after another along the rock wall, this person was Nan Yujun's eldest brother "Nanyue Mountain".
Nan Yueshan continued: "Starting tomorrow, the big house in the middle will be used as a meeting hall, and six stone chairs will be built to prove this!"
The older child who just brought back is the fourth Nan Ziyang. The falcon fangs are evolving at a rapid pace, they are also hunting humans, and the men in the village are slowly dwindling. There was a catastrophe in the village halfway through, and many people were killed. However, Nan Zichen, the boss of the disaster, did not mention it, and I didn't want to ask. He told me that after the disaster, most of the original natives were left with girls and widows, and that in order to prolong their lives, the six brothers each married a local woman.
The fourth Nan Ziyang has a violent personality, and he gets angry with the fifth and sixth at every turn, and the fifth and sixth are from the same place as him, so they can't do anything to him. The fourth child also has a problem that he is very strong, he wants to be better than others in everything, and he also works very hard in his usual training, and he has suffered a lot.
Although the fourth son Yang is usually not very likable, he touched the heart of the "Nan Danli" girl. Danli would occasionally sew and cook for him, and over time, the fourth child was also influenced by this girl's diligence and simplicity. The two finally had the crystallization of love, which is now Nan Yongle, and his stepmother hoped that he would always be healthy and happy, so she gave him the name "Nan Yongle".
Nan Yongle was 2 and a half years old, and the fourth Nan Ziyang, as usual, took the brothers out hunting, and the eldest and second followed their mother to another place that day.
The fourth Nan Ziyang, as usual, waited for the abandoned Falcon Fang. After waiting for more than a day, everyone slept on the hillside for a night, and the next afternoon, the third Nan Zizhi couldn't hold it back, and ran down the hillside to look for traces of the falcon fangs. The falcon's ability to reproduce is quite strong, and it is usually less than two or three days to see the eliminated people who have been abandoned by the group. Ziyang couldn't wait, so he took everyone to follow the third child to find it.
When I arrived at a rocky basin, I finally saw the falcon fangs. The little falcon was covered in bruises, and a group of wild wolves were constantly attacking it. The little falcon tooth is physically exhausted and gradually loses its resistance. Seeing such a good opportunity, the fourth child ordered everyone to rush up, and they dispersed the wolves and killed the falcon fangs. Everyone happily cut and sorted out the whole falcon tooth and brought it back.
The sun stingily took the last of its afterglow away, and the thick clouds in the sky obscured the sun's refraction of light from the other planets. A group of people tiredly carried their prey on the mountain road leading to Nanku Village.
"Whoosh~Whoosh~" One by one, black shadows scurried over the pitch-black mountain, following them all the way. The fourth child has already noticed it and asked everyone to follow.
At the mouth of a narrow canyon, a group of dark shadows blocked the way, and countless green lights surrounded them.
"Whatever you are, get out of the way of Lao Tzu!" the third scolded the third child, he wanted to scare the group of black shadows away.
"He~hehe......" A figure fluttered back and forth among these dark shadows like a ghost, letting out a feminine and sharp laugh, which was creepy.
"Either you die, or you put down all these prey, get out of here!" said the Dark Shadow.
The third man roared: "This is our prey! Why should we give it to you!"
"You are a bandit, this falcon is someone else's prey! you want to eat alone" The black shadow roared angrily, "It is said that the one who sees it has passed, and you don't deserve to have these prey!"
Under the influence of Danli, the fourth Nanzi Yang is not as irritable as before, and the black shadow in front of him can behave like this, it is definitely not a good person. He clasped his hands into fists and bowed his head to the black shadow and said, "I'm sorry, we offended, we don't want this meat, I just ask you to spare my people!"
"Hahaha......" Black Shadow thought for a while and smiled: "If this ghost place wants to survive, you have to know some rules!"
"I'm sorry, it's my fault, I shouldn't have robbed someone else's prey, please forgive me!" begged the fourth.
The third child was a rough man, and shouted directly: "It's obviously us who hunted, how can it be considered robbery!"
"Hmph!" the shadow was angry, looking at the green light around him and yelling, "Then let you be their ghosts!"
"Third brother, don't mess around!" The fourth brother scolded the third brother: "I'm sorry, my third brother is a rough man, please don't blame me, and please raise your noble hand and let my clansmen go!"
"Hahaha......" After the grim laughter, the dark shadow said, "Then exchange your life for their life, are you willing?"
The fourth child knew how fierce the wolves were, and there were countless black shadows in front of him, if they pounced, the villagers would definitely die. The fourth child took two steps forward: "As long as you can let my clansmen go, I promise!"
"Whoosh~" A chaotic footstep sounded through the villagers, and the fourth child was carried by countless black shadows and disappeared into the night.
"Those who see it have a share, and I will leave a part of the meat for you, and I will take the people away......!"
