Chapter 3: The Tragedy Unfolds

"This little rabbit cub, why hasn't it come out yet?" Yuan Yun'er waited for more than half an hour, but still didn't see uninhibited come out, and couldn't help but say worriedly.

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay," Yuan Long laughed heartily, "This kid may be playing in the water, it's not that you don't know how much this baby loves to play." ”

"No!" Yun'er couldn't sit still, her love for uninhibited was definitely from the heart, she saw that uninhibited had not come out for a long time, and her heart was in a panic, "I have to go and see it! ”

"Gotta get it," Yuan Long hurriedly waved his hand, and said to Yun'er with a half-joking smile: "Wife, don't say those unlucky words, our precious son can still fly! ”

"Hmm," Yun'er was even more uneasy in her heart, ignoring the ridicule in Yuan Long's tone, she walked to the bathroom door with her eyes pricked up, and leaned on the wooden door with her ears pricked up.

A warm stream of water came from the pavement, and there was no sound beyond that. Strange, if you are taking a bath, how can there be no sound of water! Yun'er's face changed, and she shouted towards the door: "Uninhibited, uninhibited!"

There was still no movement, Yuan Yun'er was about to open the small door of the bathroom, but heard the wails and pains of the villagers outside the room, the chaotic footsteps, and the shouts of the men.

What's wrong??Yun'er wondered in her heart.

At this time, Yuan Long suddenly rushed over, grabbed Yun'er with a blue face, and said, "Come out quickly, something big has happened, something big has happened." “

Yun'er was held by the wrist and dragged outside the house by her husband, Yuan Long limped, but her steps were firm, and Yun'er couldn't break free, so she could only let her be pulled outside in a daze.

"Brother Long, what's wrong? let go of me, I'm going to see Weiji, something may have happened to him!"

"Fool, what can happen to the uninhibited," Yuan Long's tough face was solemn, only his wife's worries were suspicious, "Don't make trouble, something happened to the hunting team!"

"Hunting team?!" Yun'er's expression changed drastically, and the worry about Xiao Weijian in her heart was unconsciously transferred.

The hunting party is a symbol of glory in the village. After all, a small tribe of about 200 people can't just go in and out. The hunting team, as the name suggests, brings wild beasts to the village, and the beasts can be used as food or skinned to make animal skin clothing, maintaining the basic living needs of the village.

The hunting party consisted of less than thirty people, and it gathered the strongest men in the village. The captain's name is Rao Jiu, the son of the village chief Rao, and his greatest pride. It can be said that Rao Lao Village Chief can take office and everyone is extremely convinced, and Rao Jiu has made great contributions.

Not only the captain, but no matter who is a member of the hunting team in the village, their family will suddenly feel that their faces are bright, and other families will also look up to them.

It is not difficult to understand that high risk and high reward coexist, and as a member of a hunting party, you can become the belly of a fierce beast at any time. Therefore, the threshold for the hunting team is not low, first of all, it must reach the age of sixteen, and secondly, it must be able to lift a thousand pounds of boulder. Joining a hunting party and becoming a hunter is the most glorious profession in the village!

Before taking office, their families were not only respected by the people of the village, but they could also eat the meat of the beasts once a week, which was also very eye-catching, because the meat of those beasts was rich in nutrients, and eating more could lead to strength.

Xiao Weijian grew up eating the meat of fierce beasts, so his title of "Child King" is not called in vain.

Saying that, Yun'er was dragged to the door, pushed open the door, and a strong smell of blood hit her head-on, which caught Yun'er off guard, coughed a few times, and frowned deeply.

I saw a chaotic scene in front of me, and most of the surrounding villagers were running towards the center of the village. Yuan Long's gaze was solemn and sad, dragging Yun'er towards the center.

How could Yun'er not understand what was happening when she saw this scene, she lowered her voice and said to Yuan Long, "?" Brother Long, the hunting team, there are casualties again?"

"Yes, this time it was extremely serious, two people were seriously injured, and three died. Yuan Long's low voice revealed a sad look that could not be concealed, "Brother Zhou is also dead, and his son Skin Monkey is seriously injured, I don't know if my life can be saved!"

"What?!" Yun'er was really frightened, although it was not strange that someone in the hunting team was injured or even killed, however, it seemed that such a serious death or injury had never happened.

Leather Monkey is a well-known clever boy in the village, he also played treasure with the village chief Rao on the day of his birth, he is very smart, and his literacy speed is the fastest in the village before he came to Unbound. After two years, instead of following his father's advice to become a teaching assistant for the village teacher, he insisted on joining the hunting team like his father.

Fathers and sons, fathers and sons are in the hunting team, which really makes the mother of the leather monkey have a long face, and every time she meets someone, she will not leave her son and husband in three sentences. And now, this kind of thing has happened, and it can be said that it is really sighing that the world is impermanent.

As they spoke, they came to the central field, squeezed through the crowd next to them, and they saw several men of the hunting team standing there, their animal skin suits were tattered, soaked in blood, I don't know if it was animal blood or their own blood, they looked like they had experienced a fierce battle. Their resolute faces were already covered with tears, and they looked at the ground sadly.

There are also some men lying on the ground, one of them is Zhou Dahan, the father of the leather monkey, his face is covered by his long blood-stained hair, and his body is black and blue, he should have been poisoned and is hopeless.

"Lao Zhou, Lao Zhou!" A woman frantically squeezed through the crowd, ignoring the obstruction of others, and slammed into the side of the monkey father, gently brushed the hair on his forehead with trembling hands, looked at the familiar face that was far away from her, not only cried bitterly, but also hammered the white hand to the ground:

"Lao Zhou, wake up, wake up, don't leave our mother and son like this!"

After speaking, she seemed to wake up, straightened up, and looked directly at the villagers next to her who wanted to pick her up, with a desperate gray in her eyes:

"Where's my son, where is the monkey!"

"Sister-in-law Zhou, don't get excited, he should be fine on the anniversary, and it will be almost enough to raise him for three or four months. He pointed to the side while comforting Sister-in-law Zhou.

She chased after her like crazy, only to see a lonely figure leaning against a rock.

"Son, skin monkey, skin monkey!" she knelt down and looked at her son, the root of his left arm was tightly tied with a strip, and the whole left arm was dark and dark and terrifying, and it looked like his father had been poisoned.

"Sister-in-law," a middle-aged man from the hunting team on the side whispered to the woman, "Leather monkey, I'm afraid he can't keep this arm." “

Although I have long thought of this possibility, when disaster strikes, it still catches people off guard. The mother of the leather monkey looked at the leather monkey with a face like earth, and not only did she cry again.

Suddenly, the burliest of the several big men knelt down violently towards Sister-in-law Zhou.

"Captain!" The members of the hunting team next to him couldn't help but exclaim as they saw the tall tower-like figure kneeling down.

The strong man said in a deep voice to the monkey's mother: "It's all my fault, and today is all my responsibility." “

As he spoke, he took out a big snake of about three feet from his arms, the snake's body was eeriely turquoise, and he threw it towards the ground on the side.

"This is, Emerald Snake!" Yuan Long, who was watching silently next to him, couldn't help but exclaim, "This is the top five fierce beasts, have you entered its realm?!"

Rao Jiu just knelt and didn't answer.

"Captain, it's not your fault. The big men around spoke one after another.

"Don't blame him?!" Sister-in-law Zhou's face turned hideously blue, "Why?!Why did you go to the area of the Emerald Snake? Although I also know that the medicinal value of the Emerald Snake is extremely high, but you are murdering! ”

Rao Jiu was still silent, but his eyes had turned red. He didn't explain, because he knew that Sister-in-law Zhou was desperate at this time, she needed someone to vent to, and he, as the captain of the hunting team, had the responsibility to accept her condemnation.

"Sister-in-law, really, I really don't blame the Rao team," a rough but sincere voice sounded, "We have been just hunting near the village, and after a while, I don't know what happened, this blue phosphorus snake appeared, it seemed to be delirious, and chased after our team. ”

It was a big strong, small hair of the leather monkey, and he also entered the hunting party with the leather monkey. The big and tall body also trembled incessantly, as if recalling the scene at that time:

"In the jungle, this snake suddenly pounced on Uncle Zhou, and we didn't react until he bit someone before we started attacking him. When the leather monkey saw Uncle Zhou fall, he desperately rushed to the damn snake, only to be bitten as well. If it weren't for the Rao team's desperate protection of us, I'm afraid none of us would have come back. ”

"Don't say it, it's my fault, as the captain, there is such a serious incident in the team, I really, I can't escape the blame. A trace of sparkle on Rao Jiu's swarthy face slipped from the corner of his eyes, and the first strong man in the village actually burst into tears. Who said that men don't flick when they have tears, but they haven't reached the sad place!

The sound of crutches approaching, and he looked up to see his father looking at him, and he spoke, his eyes full of pain of struggle:

"Dad, I'm sorry. I decided to resign from the captain's position and become the most ordinary hunter like Da Zhuang. Please allow!"

"Don't!" the other team members even called out in unison with some women and children when they heard this, and in their eyes, Rao Jiu was really the most suitable and competent captain.

Seeing the tears and pain in his son's eyes, Village Chief Rao sighed and said to Rao Jiu: "You can look at this matter, I know you are in pain, but everyone also trusts you, don't let everyone down!"

Rao Jiu looked around, people looked at his gaze, there was a lot of care and encouragement that was about to overflow, he couldn't help but be stunned, he knew that he couldn't escape, what should he do for the village.?" Jiu'er," Village Chief Rao saw Rao Jiu recover from the blow, and a hint of relief flashed in his eyes, but then he was replaced by solemnity, "Are you really only hunting nearby?"

"Hmm. Rao Jiuying said, "We don't know why, the Bibi snake shouldn't be there." “

"It seems that something really happened, and besides, something big happened!" said Village Chief Rao slowly, "I think the great wilderness has begun to change." ”
