The sunset in the evening fades away, and people begin to enjoy the tranquility of the night after a busy day.

The wooden fence is hung with all kinds of thorns, and the spikes on the thorns can prevent all kinds of wild beasts from attacking at night. The curling smoke rises and dissipates over the tribe, accompanied by the playful laughter of children, which makes people feel extremely warm.

"Daddy, boy, eat something!" said a haggard woman in the hut with a plate of steaming cooked food to the door, to the hunched man in the courtyard.

"I'm not hungry, you can eat!" The man turned to look at the woman in front of him, and showed a smile, but anyone could see how reluctant that smile was!

"Alas, if Chen'er were here, he would definitely be able to eat this whole bowl of meat!" the woman said, tears falling uncontrollably.

"Alas, you said that you are a woman's family, Chen'er should have a catastrophe if she hits!" the man pulled the cloth clothes draped on his body, and said with some reproach, but his already reddish eyes had already betrayed him.

"What do you mean by this catastrophe?! If you hadn't asked Chen'er to be a hunter in the first place, would there have been such a thing? Ahhh

The man didn't say anything more, turned and walked out of the courtyard gate, leaning against the door frame and looking out, from where he could see the gate of the tribe all the way. The man looked at it almost every day, looking forward to it, believing that one day he would wait for his son to come back.

At this time, Lin Chen didn't know that his parents had become haggard because of his "death", and after Lin Chen left the cliff, he recognized the direction and kept hurrying. Fortunately, although Lin Chen was in a panic that night, he never really ran out of this mountain.

This big mountain is called Cocktail Mountain because there are cocktail grass everywhere on the mountain. Lin Chen didn't know how many times he had been here when he was a child, so he was still familiar with the way down the mountain.

Half a day later, Lin Chen successfully returned to the ancient tree that he had agreed to meet with his father Lin Deyou. However, Lin Chen didn't stop at the ancient tree for long, but after checking around to confirm that there was no message left by his father, he returned to the tribe alone according to the way he came

"Yo, isn't this Deyou! Why are you standing here?"

Lin Deyou, who was leaning against the door, looked at the person in front of him and looked very disgusted. Although the person who came was of the same race, he was the person he hated the most-Lin Hai, and his son, Lin Yuanqing.

Lin Hai is wearing a short tiger skin jacket today, a pair of cowhide shoes, a short knife with a scabbard hanging from his waist, and his hair is also bound by a headband, and the whole person looks very energetic. And Lin Yuanqing was wearing a cyan cloth coat, and a pair of straw sandals often worn by hunters were on his feet, which seemed a bit nondescript.

The hunters mostly wore clothes sewn from the furs of wild beasts, and rarely wore such cloth clothes. One is because this kind of cloth is not suitable for shuttling and hunting in the mountains and forests, and the other is that the cloth is still relatively expensive, like the cloth on Lin Yuanqing's body, it is worth two wild boars

"Lin Hai, do you have anything to do with me? If you have nothing to say, please go back, I'm going to go into the house for dinner! Our family eats meat tonight, but you don't have a share!" Lin Deyou retracted his gaze, looked at Lin Hai, and then looked at Lin Yuanqing who was following him, and said coldly.

"Deyou, the food is almost cold, what are you still doing there? You are fooling around with some indiscriminate people, if you don't come in, you will sleep outside tonight!" Lin Yanmei in the inner room quietly wiped the corners of her eyes, wiped away the tears, and stood up to urge Lin Deyou to enter the house.

"Alas Lin Yanmei, what do you mean! Who is a person who is not a person who is not careful!" Lin Yuanqing originally followed behind Lin Hai, and he was originally angry at Lin Deyou's love and ignorance, but now he is said to be a person who is not careful, which makes Lin Yuanqing, who has always been arrogant, very annoyed. For a while, he didn't care about the difference between the elders of the same clan, and directly called out the other party's name.

"Whose child is this who doesn't understand the rules so much? Didn't the elders and the adults of your family teach you? I don't think the adults of your family understand the rules either!" Lin Yanmei stood on the threshold and said with a thorn in her words.

"You" Lin Yuanqing was about to say something, but after seeing his father's already annoyed expression, he had to swallow this breath back.

"It's this Lin Yanmei again, why it's you every time?!Because your father has never looked at my mother once, even if I am his son, he has never smiled at me once. Disgusting, hateful!" Lin Yuanqing became more and more annoyed, and he swore that he would make this family regret offending him in this life.

"Hehe, the child is not sensible, I didn't take care of it!" Lin Hai stood at the door, barely showing half of his body, and said with a smile inside.

"Hmph" Lin Yanmei snorted coldly and said no more. She also knew that she would be here at most, and if she continued to talk about it, I was afraid that even if Lin Hai had a good impression of her, she would probably have to turn her face. Lin Hai is the hunter of the clan, and she and Lin Deyou together are not necessarily opponents of others.

"What's the matter?!" Lin Deyou stood sideways in front of Lin Hai, his originally somewhat curved back straightened up at this time, looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, with a hint of ridicule on the corner of his mouth. "You hum! Lin Deyou, I'm not here to fight with you this time! The fifth day of the first month of next month will be the selection of hunters once every ten years, and at that time, all boys in the clan who have reached the age of twelve can participate. I remember that your Lin Chen seems to be exactly twelve years old, remember to call him to participate in the selection when the time comes!" Lin Hai turned his gaze to Lin Deyou's body and said with disdain.

"You don't have to worry about this, I'll naturally take Chen'er with me when the time comes!It's just that I remember the last hunter selection, it seems that I won in the end!" The expression on Lin Deyou's face didn't change in the slightest, and he couldn't see what he was thinking in his heart at all.

"Hmph, I hope your son can have such good luck this time!"

The last hunter selection competition was between Lin Hai and Lin Deyou ten years ago. It's just that in the end, Lin Deyou successfully won the title of hunter and participated in the Qishan Competition, although he was not favored by those big tribes in the end, but it was still a good story for the whole tribe for a while.

This is also the place that makes Lin Hai feel the most humiliated, even now that he has already become a hunter of the tribe, and the man in front of him is not even an ordinary hunter, but he still feels surprisingly angry every time he mentions it.

"Father, I heard that Lin Chen seems to have never come out since the last time he entered the mountain. I've been looking for him for the past few days, and I haven't seen anyone else. Everyone said that Lin Chen was dead, otherwise Uncle Lin would not have come back alone with his injuries!" Lin Yuanqing, who was behind him, squinted his eyes and said. The sound was not loud, but it was just enough for Lin Yanmei in the inner room to hear it.

"Oh, is there really such a thing? Brother Deyou! If it's true, it's your fault, you should tell me anyway, and I can organize everyone to go out and look for it! Maybe you'll find it!" Although Lin Hai said with great concern, his expression was one of schadenfreude.

"Hmph, my son did have some accident a few days ago, and he hasn't returned yet. But no one has seen his body, how can you conclude that he is dead? Besides, even if he dies unfortunately, does this have anything to do with you!" Lin Deyou looked very excited, and there was still the calm appearance he had before.

At this time, Lin Yanmei had already begun to whimper in the inner room after hearing Lin Yuanqing's words. No matter how strong a woman is, she is fragile after all, not to mention the pain of losing a child.

"Father, look, I said that Lin Chen is a waste, what are you talking about? Now it's okay to go to the mountain and lose your life, alas, waste is waste!"

"You" Lin Deyou pointed at Lin Yuanqing with his right hand, and he was ready to teach a lesson. It's just that Lin Hai on the side stood in front of Lin Deyou early and looked at him coldly, which made Lin Deyou give up his plan to make a move.

It's not that Lin Deyou is really afraid of Lin Hai, although he has not recovered from his stubborn illness now, but if he really wants to make a move, Lin Hai will definitely not be able to please him. It's just that if he really does it, he won't be able to make trouble with the patriarch at all!

"Oh, Brother Deyou, what are you really talking to a child? Besides, what he said is not a lie, right?

"You guys get out of here, get out!" Lin Deyou tried his best to control his emotions, but the flushed cheeks were enough to show how angry he was in his heart.

"Hahaha Deyou brother, it seems that this time the hunter selection of my family Yuanqing is going to win! Haha, hey, I'm still blessed Lin Hai, raising such an excellent son!" Lin Hai looked at this man who had been fighting with him for half his life, and for a while he felt indescribable joy in his heart, as if the fish bone stuck in his throat was finally taken out

"Who said Lin Yuanqing had won?" An untimely voice came from behind Lin Yuanqing.

"Who!" Lin Yuanqing was secretly happy when he heard his father praise him, but when he suddenly heard this, he was immediately annoyed. It's just that what he saw when he turned his head made him a little surprised, because the person in front of him was Lin Chen.

"Chen Chen'er!" Lin Deyou looked at the young man in front of him who was in rags, his face was covered with mud, and his hair was shaggy, and his voice suddenly choked up.

And Lin Yanmei in the house After hearing Lin Chen's voice, she dropped the rice bowl in her hand and staggered to Lin Chen.
