Chapter 9 Relief

With the approaching winter in Gulan Village, the sky is slightly cool, and the sun falls on the mountain early, dyeing the halfway up the mountain red, just like in the painting.

During these days, Nian Xun rarely encountered villagers at the foot of the mountain, and the meat on the mountain was less active in the forest than usual.

Although the Kulan villagers have prepared the ingredients before the winter, in the Gulan village, where they live by hunting, the food is always far from enough for the whole winter, and they have to go up the mountain every few days.

Walking on the gravel road of Gulan Village, the sky was getting dark, and Nian Xun was carrying a prey in his hand and returning with a prey on his back.

Because of the continuous exercise over the years, Nian Xun's strength is also much larger than that of people of the same age, and now he can carry dozens of pounds of prey casually, and fly steadily in the mountains and forests.

At this moment, under the heavy pressure of the two prey, he was also a little powerless, and beads of sweat were dripping from his head.

From one break between hundreds of steps to one rest every few steps.

Fortunately, I have already walked this mountain road countless times under my feet, and I am familiar with it.

......

In Gulan Village, Zhao Daniu's home.

"Uncle Zhao, this is the cypress dog who came back today. I'll put it here, and you'll share it with everyone later. Nian Xun sweated and finally came from the bottom of the mountain, and when he came to Da Niu's house, he hurriedly unloaded the meat on his back and fell to the ground, saying.

Looking at the backyard, Uncle Zhao didn't seem to be at home today.

Da Niu Ben was playing in the house, as soon as he heard the sound of Nian Xun entering the door, he put down the things in his hand when he heard the sound, and hurriedly followed out to take a look, and a pair of thin hands poked and patted on the belly of the prey, and then said: "Nian Xun, today's these, to say the least, there are seventy or eighty pounds." He looked at the cypress dog with a serious look.

The two of them placed the cypress dog at the same time, and they all sat back at the table, Nian Xun was tired and didn't want to move, but the big cow was excited on the side, and kept asking about the various things that came up the mountain today.

The children who listen to the story should also be active.

These questions of Da Niu are like Nian Xun's daily report, and they will definitely be asked when they arrive at Da Niu's house.

Nian Xun answered them one by one, satisfying his desire and curiosity, as for the scene when it comes to fighting with the prey, what kind of fist to the flesh feeling, it is pure nonsense.

He is usually very far away, secretly shooting a 'soil arrow', and it is difficult to have the opportunity to fight hand-to-hand under ten arrows and nine deaths, so naturally there is no fist to the flesh.

Only when the star power is not well controlled, will there be this blow, the prey can only be injured and not killed, and Nian Xun will try it, and the prey at that time is not as strong as the 'dog'.

Aunt Zhao brought out the tea from the inner room, twisted the bucket waist, walked out of the house, and greeted: "Nian Xun, your Uncle Zhao has something to go out, drink hot tea first, warm up your body, and later, have a meal together at home before leaving." After speaking, he walked into the backyard and prepared, thinking that it was almost time for dinner, and the family should come back.

knew that Aunt Zhao was going to prepare a meal, but Nianxun had no intention of eating at Uncle Zhao's house today, and just wanted to take a break and rush home, because today was a special day for him.

"Nian Xun, tell you something, after this winter, I will be able to go hunting in the mountains like you. At the table, Da Niu finally couldn't hold back his words, and laughed.

Since Nianxun came back from the first hunting, Da Niu was very yearning, and he discussed with Uncle Zhao many times for this, but Uncle Zhao has never been unyielding, uncompromising, and not doing things on this issue.

Nian Xun also knows this best, why he can survive on the mountain.

Three years ago, he almost lost his life, so he naturally understood Uncle Zhao's decision very well.

Now I don't understand why Uncle Zhao suddenly changed his mind. I don't think it would be the big bull who bothers Uncle Zhao every day, and Uncle Zhao has no choice but to deal with the big bull first. Nian Xun didn't even think in his heart, but he couldn't say it clearly, for fear of extinguishing the hope of the big cow, so he had to pretend to be stupid and stunned.

Continue to chat with the big cow about interesting things in the village.

Fortunately, after a while, Uncle Zhao appeared from outside the door.

When I entered the door, I saw Nian Xun, and I knew that this kid had brought something back from the mountain today.

Several people gathered around the table, and Uncle Zhao pointed to a cypress dog and ordered: "Big Niu, choose a big one to send to your Aunt Zhang's house first, I just came back from outside, and her family is afraid that she can't stay up." ”

"Uncle Zhao, I'd better go. Nian Xun said.

At this moment, he has also rested, and he is about to go home.

Uncle Zhao waved his hand and said: "It's okay, this kid should also exercise, if he can't even stand this tiredness, how can he become a hunter in the village." ”

Speaking of hunters, Nian Xun also happened to have something to say to Uncle Zhao to confirm!

No longer insist.

Hearing this, the big cow walked over excitedly.

One hugged the slightly larger cypress dog on the ground, carried it on his shoulder, and walked towards the door.

When he arrived at the door, he didn't forget to turn back to Nian Xun and said, "Nian Xun, let's continue when I come back." ”

Seeing the big cow walking away, Nian Xun couldn't help but ask Uncle Zhao: "Uncle Zhao, I remember that you have always disapproved, why are you today...?"

Uncle Zhao sighed and said, "Although Da Niu is still young, his strength has not grown, and he will definitely become an excellent hunter in the future." As soon as the voice changed, he said again: "Nian Xun, do you know that three years ago, when you first went up the mountain, I also went to Nian Lao to stop this. ”

When someone mentions the old age again, the heart that I thought I could forget was ignited by the emotions in my heart again, and my eyes gradually blurred.

"He gave me a word at the time. Uncle Zhao said.

"What?" Nian Xun blurted out.

"If I could, I would. Uncle Zhao recalled and continued: "Da Niu is like you at that time, instead of letting him go up the mountain alone in the end, it is better to let him follow me, at least I can protect him." ”

Uncle Zhao's words made Nian Xun's days of confusion and confusion suddenly shine in by a ray of sunshine.

It warmed his whole heart.

"I will do what he knows, and I will do what he says. ”

"And I know that he will do the same when I say it. ”

"In the end, no one was ready to open this mouth. Nian Xun sighed in his heart.

After a while, the hour was getting short.

Da Niu hadn't returned from Aunt Zhang's house yet, so Nian Xun solemnly thanked Uncle Zhao and returned home.

Not long after Nian Xun left, Da Niu, the kid, also walked into the house slowly after eating and drinking enough from Aunt Zhang's house, obviously forgetting what he said when he left.

Looking at the figure of the big cow, Uncle Zhao felt a figure in his heart: "My ability is to let him grow up peacefully, what about you, old man?"

Nian Xun, who returned home, did not feel the star power as usual, because today is an important day for Nian Xun.

Nian Xun has not known his biological parents since he can remember, let alone his own birthday. Since I was a child, I could only watch with envy the rest of the people in the village spend that day together in the company of my parents.

Until Nian Lao spoke: "The day I met you outside Gulan Village was your birth." The moment I pick you up, it's your hour. In the days to come, Nian Xun had his true birthday in Gulan Village.

And today is the fourteenth year of Nian Xun's birth.

Unlike in the past, this birthday was celebrated by one of his own.

......

At this time, in the private room of a restaurant in the border city, a middle-aged strong man with two children was eating dinner around the table, although there were not many dishes on the table, but they were all precious delicacies in Fengyang Town, any dish could be worth the star coins needed by ordinary residents in the city for half a month.

On the plaque outside the restaurant, there is a pattern of five stars.

"Second uncle, you said that we have all been out of the family for three days, when will we be able to set off?" A seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy in the private room of the five-star restaurant grabbed a piece of freshly torn beast meat and said casually in front of the table.

Sitting opposite the young man was an ignorant and immature young girl, with slender snow-white long legs, resting on a long wooden bench with one leg, burying her head very low, her glass-colored hair naturally falling down, and a few sullen words came out of her mouth from time to time: "Well, this dish is okay, this dish is not bad, this dish is a little worse than yesterday's one, and the taste is a little worse." ”

It wasn't until he heard the young man's words that he raised his head and stared at the young man viciously, and said, "Fourth brother, do you seem to be in a hurry?"

The young man who was called the fourth brother by the girl chewed a piece of leg meat in his mouth, and his voice came: "Sister Liu, or it's all because of you... We've been there a long time ago, and we won't... Uh-huh. ”

"Hmph~ No one wants you to come with me!" the girl raised her head and tilted her head to the side, muttering with a small mouth.

You brought it on yourself, and it has nothing to do with me.

The young man disappreciated, put the food in his hand into his mouth, and said, "You think I want to come, if it weren't for my father's compulsion..."

"Father, father, I know. Usually don't let me go out, stay in the family all day, this time I finally got the second uncle to agree to take me out, and sent you, a dogleg, to monitor. The girl looked upset and interrupted him.

"Jian Chen, it's not easy for your sister to come out of the family, this time it's okay to follow her temperament, and it doesn't hurt to play for a few more days. The middle-aged strong man on the side couldn't help but help the girl open his mouth.

"Second uncle, my father knows that you are usually used to this girl a lot, and this time he knows that you are going to take her out, so he is busy letting me follow me all the way, for fear that she will cause something to happen to you. The boy said.

"Otherwise, if I want to go back, let my father know that I don't do anything, and it will be difficult to explain to him. The young man muttered to himself.

"Fourth brother, we have been together for the past few days, and the matter is really going to be delayed, and when my father asks, you are also half responsible. The girl's green cheeks became more and more red, and she said angrily: "We just took a little more detour on the road, and it took a little more time, and we can delay the second uncle." She looked at the middle-aged strong man: "Second uncle, you said yes." ”

"Second uncle, look at this girl, is this still a little way? If you go on the way this girl, you and I may have to return here that day. The boy pointed to the girl.

I remember that when I was on Qingyang Street yesterday, I met my cousin vividly, but fortunately, there were many people on the street at that time, and I hid fast enough, I was really afraid that if I continued like this, sooner or later I would meet my father at the entrance of the street.

After the three of them were full of wine and food, the middle-aged man took it out of his arms a few times, and it was a worn-out old-fashioned map that was smashed out and placed flat on the dining table.

Everyone looked at the map, which was densely covered with demon blood carving the mountains and rivers of many continents.

The middle-aged man pointed to the area around a large mountain range marked on the map, and said to the two: "This is the purpose of our trip, this is not too far from us, it will take about two days to go out of the city, you two will see what you need to add tomorrow, and be ready to go at any time." ”

The boy has no problem, thinking that this kind of day can finally end early, otherwise if he eats all the way like this, even if it is the second uncle, I am afraid that the star coins will not be able to bear it.

After three days of delay, I feel that my body has been embroidered, and I don't know if those people in the family are still making progress at the moment.

"Star Martial Artist, I will be able to introduce stars into my body in less than three years, and I must let them see it when the time comes, the bloodline will not be able to determine his future at all. The boy thought to himself.

"Jian Chen...... You!" Just as the young man was in a trance, the girl's dark eyes stared at the young man as if they were about to bulge out, and said word by word.

"The second uncle said that it would take a month to come out this time, and it was only three days for you to stir it up. You're really sent by your father..."

"Sister Liu, you also know my father's character, if I don't do anything, it's not good to go back and let him know, isn't it?" After the young man came back to his senses, he almost forgot about the guy at home, the eldest brother, the second brother and the third brother are all okay, and there is no need to be afraid of them if they are pressed by their father. can think of the existence of another demon king in the family, if she knew that she would be able to beat herself first, she couldn't help but spread her hands and said helplessly.

"Hmph" mentioned the father at home, and the girl's mood was down, and she came back with a better look.

"Okay, Sister Liu. The young man couldn't help but quip: "Wait for the second uncle to complete this mission early, is there more time for you to play." ”

"Hmm!"

The girl was stunned for a moment, and then after thinking of something, she changed her smile and tried to say, "Second uncle, or we will set off tomorrow." ”
