Chapter 15: Man and Bear
Han Weixue looked at the things in her hand, what kept coming to her mind was the villa, and the young man's face changed, Han Weixue felt that there was definitely a connection between these things, and there was definitely a problem with the family in the villa.
The person who solved the case for Han Weixue, named Sean, was doing push-ups at home, thirty, thirty-one, thirty-two.... Suddenly there was a knock on the door. He stopped, looked in the direction of the door, ignored it, and continued to do his push-ups, when there was another knock on the door, and he stopped and sighed.
He went to open the door, and when he saw that it was indeed Han Yuxue, in fact, his nose had already smelled it, and he rolled his eyes.
"We'll have to talk. Han Weixue said solemnly.
"Then you don't have to talk at half past six in the morning. He looked a little angry, it was obvious that Han Weixue had disturbed his normal life, so he was about to close the door.
Han Weixue hurriedly pushed open the door, walked in, and said, "This matter is very important. β
"Alright, then please come in and have a cup of tea. Sean looked helpless.
"Would you like something to eat?"
"First of all, I want to thank you for helping me solve that kidnapping case. Han Yuxue said.
"Why didn't I see you send me a pennant. Sean smiled.
"How long are you going to stay, I'm not done with my push-ups yet, man. β
"Have you seen this?" Han Weixue walked up to Sean and handed him the things in his hand.
Sean looked at Han Weixue, a little surprised, he didn't know what to show himself, what would the Liu family give him later, and then looked at the things in Han Weixue's hand.
When Sean saw the contents of the bag, as if he knew it, he frowned and took the thing out of the bag, this is the same thing as the one in the villa.
"I've never seen it this closely, thank goodness. Sean took it in his hand and looked at it, then put it to his nose and sniffed.
"I think it's a tool that humans and bears use to gutt, so I'm really hungry. After Shaun finished speaking, he handed the things to Han Yuxue and walked towards the kitchen by himself, "Are you sure you don't want to eat something?"
"I also want to make myself a cup of tea, the best silver peak from the high mountains, after careful roasting and processing, very energetic. Sean said loudly.
"How much do you know about human bears?" Han Yuxue followed from behind, he knew that Sean must know this thing.
"What do you think of me?
"No, you're a werewolf, I think you should know about a few human bears. β
"It's" a few man-bears, "it's not "one", okay. Sean stopped what he was doing and emphasized.
"You can see their true faces like I do, right?" Han Yuxue asked uncertainly.
"That's right. β
"I just want to know what the hell is going on with my opponent. β
"Well, don't compare us to human-bears, we don't forage like they do, how could you come across human-bears?" Sean stressed again.
"I was investigating a case and saw that a child was a man-bear. Han Yuxue sat down and said.
"You got this antique from him?" Sean looked at the thing Han Yuxue had placed on the table.
"No, it's my uncle's. β
"By the way, it's him again, Uncle Shengguo, right. I stayed up all night for the first two years, always thinking that Uncle Sheng Guo would cut off my head and hang it on a lamppost. Sean said unhappily.
"That's what happened to my grandmother. β
"My uncle is still in the hospital. β
"Oh, I'm sorry, they're going to use this thing in their rituals. Although Sean was talking, he didn't stop moving.
"Ritual?"
"Yes, it's a bear coming-of-age ceremony, a human-bear coming-of-age ceremony, it's a very violent ceremony, they'll beat their chests and they will scream, who is going to do this kind of thing these days. Sean felt a little naΓ―ve.
"They think it will awaken the primordial ** of all people. Sean made tea, handed it to Han Weixue and said, "Believe me, everyone has this kind of **." β
When Han Weixue heard these things, she didn't feel very good in her heart, if it was really what Sean said, then that boy would definitely become a sacrifice for their coming-of-age ceremony.
"Do you know this, what is a man-bear?" It seems that Han Yuxue still doesn't know much about them.
"Oh my God, didn't you write it in your book? Or didn't you see it? In the past of our country, legend has it that Dayu is the incarnation of the bear, and four days after the marriage of Dayu and Tushan Nujiao, they parted and continued to control the flood. In the southeast of Yanshi City, Henan Province today, there is a mountain called Xuanyuan Mountain, the mountain is steep, and the mountain road is like a car wheel to loop back and forth, so it is called "Xuanyuan Mountain". Dayu needs to open up this mountain and let the water flow through. Dayu said to his wife: I hang a drum on the cliff, and when the drum sounds, you will bring me food. The wife promised to return immediately. Dayu turned into a fluffy black bear, tried his best to arch his mouth with his mouth, and slashed with his four claws, but when the mountain stone was planed back, he was impartial and hit the drum, and there were several sounds. When Dayu's wife heard the sound, she hurriedly carried the basket up the mountain to deliver food to her husband. After going up the mountain, I saw that Dayu was a bear's body, and I was surprised and ashamed, so I couldn't help screaming loudly, dropped Fanlan, and fled. Dayu heard the cry and saw his wife screaming and running back, so he immediately stopped his work and chased after her, hoping to explain the misunderstanding to her, but forgot to retract his bear form. Dayu's wife turned around and saw that it was a big bear chasing her, and she was even more afraid and ashamed, and she fled faster. They ran away and chased after each other, and one ran to Songgao Mountain. Seeing that he was about to catch up, Dayu's wife turned into a stone when she was in a hurry. Dayu saw that his wife ignored him and did not listen to the explanation, so he was anxious and angry, so he shouted to the stone, "Return my son!" The stone cracked to the north and gave birth to a son, named "Qi". Kai means to crack. β
"Could it be that Dayu is a human bear?" Han Weixue felt very surprised, feeling that his three views had been changed.
Sean didn't speak, but nodded.
"In our country, there is also the legend of the red bear, the battle between Gonggong and Zhuan Xuan's kingdom of God, earth-shattering, very famous in ancient Chinese mythology, Gonggong even angrily touched the Zhou Mountain, resulting in "the pillar of heaven is broken, and the earth is extinct." And Gonggong has a fierce god-like subordinate who floats and turns into a red bear after death, and don't you know that the Yellow Emperor led Xiong Zhen and other fierce beasts to fight Chi You back then?" Sean asked.
Han Weixue still shook her head.
"Damn, how the hell do you know these things?" Han Weixue felt that this Sean was a popular science book in the animal world.
"These are stories that have been passed down in our family. β
"And, a bit of a stretch, this ritual is all about hunting. Sean lowered his head and went about his business.
"What hunting?" Hearing about hunting, Han Weixue was not calm.
"Rite of passage, primitive man's set. "Let's drink beer while barbecue, and we won't go home if we don't get drunk." Sean sang funny.
"I like camping, but only once a year. β
"I have to go. Han Weixue knew the seriousness of the matter, put down the quilt in her hand, and walked outside.
"Well, thank you for coming to see me. Sean said in the direction of Han Yuxue.
Han Yuxue sat next to her uncle's hospital bed, drawing the appearance of the man and bear she saw that day in the small notebook in her hand.
"What are you drawing. Suddenly Uncle spoke, and he was wearing an oxygen mask on his mouth.
Han Weixue handed the small notebook in his hand to his uncle, who took off the oxygen mask and looked at the things drawn in Han Weixue's hand.
"Man-bear. β
Han Yuxue nodded.
"Did you see that?"
"There was such a family, but I only saw their son show his true face. Han Weixue said in a low voice.
"How old is he?"
"Eighteen years old. β
"If they stick to tradition, it's a big problem. Uncle took a deep breath.
"Has anyone died?"
"I don't know, I just know that there is a person whose whereabouts are unknown. Do you know what a coming-of-age ceremony is?" Han Yuxue suddenly remembered.
"You're starting to learn, that's good. β
"It's a coming-of-age ceremony for boys, it's held at sunset, it's violent, and the afterglow of the setting sun reflects the blood on the hands. Uncle closed his eyes.
