Chapter 2 The Boy Who Sees Mercy in Heaven

"Mordo, quick, quick, this way, run this way. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info "A boy of about eighteen or nineteen years old struggled to take steps, still calling his young brother.

"Hadu, I, run as hard as I can, can't move. The younger brother behind him was just old enough to remember, and he collapsed to the ground exhausted.

Mordo hurriedly came over and picked up Hadu, and said, "Get up, we have to find Uta and go back to help Uma." ”

When Hadu heard this, there was a little gleam in his eyes, and he stiffened his body and walked forward.

Mo-Du and He-Du come from the "Ka-Sin-Ki" tribe, and their words Uta and Uma mean "father" and "mother" respectively. Today, when the sun was just rising, the young men of the tribe went out hunting, and Mordo was supposed to go with him, but his mother was pregnant again, and he had to take care of her until his father returned.

As soon as the sun had crossed the "Fare" (the hill next to the tribal settlement), Mordo suddenly heard a "click-click" sound in the distance—the sound of the "Mo-Ruq-Fa" tribe's warhorses. Mordo hurried up to the wooden lookout in the center of the tribe, and saw a huge amount of smoke and dust rolling up "where the sun sets", and a group of riders from rival tribes were charging in the direction of Mordo.

Mordo was terrified: this hostile tribe was particularly bloodthirsty, and the last time they came to harass the tribe, they had killed several of Mordo's elders, and the tribe had sacrificed nearly half of the young men to drive the butchers away. And this time, while the young people of the tribe were out hunting, these executioners came again.

Regardless of the height of the watchtower, Mordo jumped directly to the ground and shouted nervously: "Horse rush over, hurry, summon 'Yijun'. Then he ran to the tribe's stockades and shouted loudly, and the people who heard Mordu's voice quickly took out all kinds of stone spears and axes and prepared to meet them.

The "Ye-Qum'me" in Mordo's mouth is a certain age but experienced hunter in the tribe, and their physical strength is no longer suitable for continuing to hunt, so they stay in the tribe to serve as a defensive role.

The "Yijun" took up the stone axes and stone knives, grabbed the wooden horses placed near the tribe, lined up across the charging surface of the enemy horse team, and then crouched next to the horses to ambush.

After informing "Yijun", Mordo ran to the village where he lived and reported the enemy attack to his mother. "Uma, horse, rush, run. Mordo urged his mother anxiously.

The mother didn't listen to him, but picked up a stone knife beside her, turned to Mo Du and said, "Mo Du, you are big, soon, go to the river, find Uta to come back to save the people, take Hadu, go and come back quickly." With that, the mother went to organize the women of the tribe to defend the back area of the tribe with a slightly bulging belly.

Mordo did not dare to disobey his mother, so he hurriedly called his brother Hadu and went with him to find their father. But halfway through, they were overtaken by enemy infantry patrolling the neighborhood - two strong men much taller than them laughed and rushed over and tore them to shreds.

Mordu and Hadu dodged two pursuers back and forth in the rocky col, but the movement took a quick toll on their physical strength—they were exhausted.

Hadu couldn't walk anymore, and as soon as his leg went limp, he fell to the ground, but fortunately he didn't hit the stone. Mordo tried to encourage his brother to keep going, but the two strong men behind him had already caught up. The two men wore protective bodies made of multiple layers of cowhide, and there was a shining disc at the mouth of their hearts - it was said that this thing could even block a stone spear, and it could only be obtained in the "Temple of the Underworld where the sun sets".

These hostile strong men are only covered with a disc at the vital point of their hearts, and I heard that the personal guards of the leader of the tribe are all over his body, and they are simply invincible.

Seeing that the brothers could no longer move forward, the two strong men also put away their playful thoughts - with their physical strength, they could actually catch up a long time ago, but they thought that this task was too simple, just like an eagle catching its prey, catching and releasing it, and then feasting on the prey's physical strength.

One of the strong men had a scar on his face, and Mordo recognized him: he had killed his mother's brother and stabbed his mother's sister with a stone spear, and his mother's sister had died of her wounds. The strong man's face was cruel, and he pulled out a sharp stone knife from the leather sheath at his waist and rushed towards the brothers.

Desperate to protect his brother, Mordo threw him backwards to the ground, using his body to block the path of the stone knife.

Hadu, the youngest brother, has begun to remember, and he has basic emotions and judgment. He felt very frightened, stared at the strong man who rushed over, and watched the stone knife in his hand raised to his chest, and the tip of the knife was about to cut through the chest of each Mordo.

At this time, Hadu just thought in his heart: Don't kill, don't kill, let this strong man have no idea of killing. When the tip of the knife reached Mordo's chest and was a palm's width, Hadu couldn't bear to close his eyes.

But strangely, he didn't hear Mordo's screams.

Hadu cautiously opened his eyes and found himself in an endless darkness, with no mountains, no gravel, no brother Mordo, and no two enemy soldiers chasing him. There was only darkness here, and he opened his mouth and shouted, "Mordo, where are you, Mordo. !”

No one responded to him.

Suddenly, about ten paces in front of him, there was some strange depiction—a bit like the runes used by the chiefs of the tribe to keep track of the number of prey, but not quite the same. These depictions appeared directly in midair, and although Hadu had never seen many of them, he immediately understood the meaning of the narrative.

"You have been chosen as a lucky star for plundering wealth, and you can claim everything in your life for yourself. ”

Even when he was old enough to remember, Hado had never learned words like "wealth", "luck", and "everything", because the Ka-Sin-Ki tribe had not yet evolved these more "advanced" words, and Hadu could not learn them if he wanted to. But he could read the meaning of the words without difficulty, and he could even pronounce them aloud.

"This is your mental space, where you will not be affected by the flow of time in the outside world, and your relevant status will be displayed in this space. ”

Seeing this, he suddenly understood: this may be the mansion of "Ye-Dun-So", the god of dreams, as the adults say, "Ye-Dun", and he should be standing in the open space of this mansion now. Everything in the dream is always so ethereal, and I may really be so "lucky". Thinking of this, he felt a little hurt again: his brother was not so lucky, and he didn't know how he was now, whether he was selected by "Ye-Dun" to avoid harm.

The line in front of him continued: "You have been detected to have launched your first plundering of wealth." ”

By the way, wealth, Hado thought about the word he had just learned: wealth should mean "the things that are most important to you, the things you need the most, and the things you are happiest when you have them", and now he was thinking about his brother, his mother, father, and his people, these were his wealth.

Determined, he continued to look at the lines:

"You unleashed the 'Plunder of Wealth' ability on two hostile infantrymen, plundering the idea of 'killing' in their heads, and the looting caused you to accumulate +20 Kindness and +20 Malice. ”

Good intentions and bad intentions,What does that mean?。。 ?

Sensing Hadu's thoughts, the words and lines emerged to explain:

"When you use the 'Plunder of Wealth' ability, it will have an effect on the people associated with you, and if you activate the ability now, two hostile foot soldiers will no longer be able to have any killing-related thoughts or activities related to killing, and your brother Mordo will be able to survive as a result. ”

When Hadu saw that his brother was still alive, his heart fell to the ground like a boulder. But he felt strange again: he can understand the value of kindness, and he activated this strange "ability" to save his brother, and his brother will naturally thank him, but how to explain the value of malice. ?

This is the reason for the current accumulation of good and evil values that begin to emerge:

"You plundered the killing thoughts of two enemy soldiers, making them realize that they can't slaughter your people +10;"

"You saved your brother Mordo, he cares for you more +10;"

It turned out that this was the accumulation, Hadu nodded knowingly, and continued to watch.

"You made two patrolmen unable to participate in the battle, and the enemy leader was angry with you +20. ”

Heh, Hadu really wants to laugh out loud at this time, now the two tribes are in a state of enmity with each other, and they want to be angry with themselves, so go with anger. Hadu thought that he was the chosen one of "Ye-Dun", and that he would be able to use this ability to defeat all those who were hostile to his tribe.

Thinking of this, Hado was already starting to get excited, but he wandered around what he thought was an "open space" for a while, and he didn't find a way out. Just when he was at a loss, the word line explained that he could concentrate on thinking about "exiting the space of consciousness" and return to the real time and space.

He did so immediately, and his consciousness suddenly returned to the moment when he fell to the ground and the sharp stone knife stabbed at Mordo—really. The strong man seemed to be stunned, as was his companion, and the stone knife in his hand was thrown off his hand and fell to the ground.

Mo Du was already drenched in a cold sweat at this time, but when he saw the strong man drop the stone knife in his hand in a sluggish manner, he first exhaled a long breath, and then looked at the two pursuers strangely - and then followed their gaze and found that they were staring at his younger brother Hadu, and found that Hadu was indifferent, as if he had already known that such a situation would occur.

Mordo, who had escaped death, felt a strange feeling coming from his brother, but now was not the time to ask more questions—he didn't know where to start. Seeing that the two strong men were still sluggish and stuck in place, Mordo immediately came over to help Hadu and staggered towards the river.

When they reached a mound near the river, they saw a group of enemy soldiers dressed in shiny discs fighting with their father—to be precise, they were being pressed and beaten by their young men. The enemy sent a group of experienced hunters, but after a few struggles, the physical strength of these veterans gradually became unsupportable.

By the time Mordu and the two of them descended to the riverbank, the battle was over. Mordo shouted and stumbled over: "Uta, Uta, this way, Mordu and Hadu. !”

Mordo's father looked back in surprise when he heard his child's shout, and then quickly ran over with two guards. "Mordo, you're not by Milo's side, make it clear. Mordo's father was referring to the name of his wife, Mordo's mother, and Mordo's father asked her very seriously what had happened. Mo Du took a breath, and hurriedly told the enemy army about the attack on the village, the two brothers fleeing for help, and the road meeting the pursuers who escaped from death, and also talked in more detail about the fact that the two pursuers suddenly stopped attacking and stopped in place. When my father heard that the two pursuers had stopped because of Hado, he looked at Hadu suspiciously.

And Hadu had already walked to the place where the battle had just been—his father's two brothers had been killed in the melee, and even the leader of their tribe had been badly wounded in the battle, and was now panting weakly beside a boulder in the rear. Hado knew that the leader was about to lose his breath and die.

At this time, Mo Du and his father also walked over, and his father's face was full of grief and self-blame - his fighting ability was still relatively high, but he failed to protect the two brothers in the melee. The old man, who was a little older, stepped forward, leaned down, and covered his brother's eyelids.

After clearing the battlefield and picking up the discs from the enemy soldiers, everyone gathered around the badly wounded leader and half-knelt down. Everyone had a word in their mouth—and although they didn't have many words in their tribal language, it was clear that everyone was praying to Heaven for the restoration of the leader.

Hadu knew that without a leader, there would be no tribe, and that the leader was the most powerful warrior in the tribe, and without him, it would be impossible for the tribe to survive in this land of fighting and blood. The leader has always been very good to Hado—not just because Hado's father was a powerful warrior of the tribe—but also because Hadu does not have the innocence and ignorance of children of his age, but the depth and wisdom of a leader. The leader always thought that when Hadu grew up, he would let him go out with a stone axe to direct the hunt, and he would teach Hadu how to be a successful leader.

Now, however, the leader's life is running out, and he is no longer able to teach Hop, let alone protect his tribe from survival.

Hadu felt a great sense of resentment, sorrow, and fear: his wealth was his tribe, his people, and if the leader died like this, it would be gone.

Hadu couldn't let this happen, he stared at the wound on the leader's body that was still oozing blood, and silently muttered in his heart: "Success, success, launch, plunder. !”

Yes.. As if a miracle had happened, the wounds on the leader's body began to stop bleeding, shrink, and finally healed completely. The leader's wheezing voice began to grow louder, and the paleness on his face began to fade. In the end, the leader actually used his strength and stood up directly. !

When the big guys saw this shocking scene, they were stunned for a moment and then they all cheered and knelt down to worship heaven and earth, shouting the name of the god of hunting "A-Bu". (A stone spear piercing the beast would make a muffled "Bu" sound, and the beast would die quickly, hence the worship of the god "Abu".) )

The leader stood with a radiant face, but Hadu was the only one in the circle who was also standing. When everyone's cheers gradually calmed down, everyone looked at Hadu in amazement. But the person concerned didn't care about the actions of the people around him indifferently, just looked at the leader calmly.

The leader did not ask the reason for the miracle - he knew that the tribe was under attack by a large army of the enemy, and that his near-death rebirth would give the warriors a great excitement, and that it was the best strategy to counterattack the enemy in one fell swoop.

Seeing the leader's eyes shining, he suddenly opened his mouth and shouted into the air: "Warriors of Ka-Sin-Ki, A-Bu summons your leader and leads you to continue to protect our compatriots. ”

A leader is a leader, and his knowledge of the tribal language is far superior to that of the other tribesmen, and he can easily assemble a complete and eloquent sentence.

Hearing the shouts of the leader, the hunters raised their sharp stone blades aloft and repeated the roar of rage: "Fellow citizens, protect. . . !”

The leader gave the order, and the hunters began to gallop in the direction of the tribal camp. Mordo ran slowly, climbed onto his father's back, and turned his head to see the leader pick up Hadu, and also run forward quickly. There was a look of envy in Mordo's eyes, and then he turned to cheer on the hunters.

Hadu was held at the waist by the leader, but instead of shouting excitedly like his brother, he looked at his people around him with a calm face. When the leader saw Hado's appearance, his heart was even more fond - whether he was really blessed by the gods or not, Hadu saved his life. You know, in this period of uncivilized human history, the slightest abrasion can be fatal, not to mention the punctures and contusions that the leader has endured. And Hado, whether it was his or some kind of protection, left the leader unscarred, which could not but make him overjoyed.

The hunters who rushed back to the camp did not travel long: they were warned by the god of hunting to hunt only between "where the sun rises" and "where the sun sets", both of which are not too far from the tribe. Even so, the hunters discovered from afar that there was already "Yijun" who could not stop the onslaught of the horses, and the cavalry rushed to the camp - all of them were descendants of their wife and daughter, the creator god "Ben-Mao'ol".

The enraged hunters stepped up their running pace, and quickly rushed into the tribe to meet the enemy. And at this time, Hadu's ability was also used again.
