Chapter 7: The Eve of the Great War
There are still five days left before the battle of geniuses at the end of the year, and the entire Hou Mansion is busy, because all the three generations of Hou have to participate in the war.
The eldest grandson Hou Zhan, the second grandson Hou Li, the third grandson Hou Feng, and the fourth grandson Hou General. Hou Zhan is twenty-seven this year, Hou Li is twenty-six, Hou Feng and Hou Jiang are both twenty-five, but Hou Feng will be born for a period of time, so Hou will be the last.
This battle is the last battle of the four, and the competition is extremely fierce.
The eldest Hou Zhan and the third Hou Feng are both the sons of the second master of Hou, Hou Li is the son of the fourth master of Hou, and Hou will be the son of the third master. From this point of view, there are not many people in the third generation of the Hou family, and even very few. Of course, Uncle Hou has two daughters, who are also the third generation of Hou.
However, this world basically belongs to men, and it is not impossible to have powerful women, but they are too rare, at least Uncle Hou's two daughters are not in it. And the two daughters have already married, as the saying goes, the water spilled by the married daughter is already someone else's family.
Rare is rare, but the four of them are all essences, and they are all very famous in Cangyan County. Among them, Hou Zhan has the best talent, the oldest, and the strongest strength. The second grandson Hou Li's talent is the worst of the four, but he has also reached the C level, which is much stronger than the average person.
If you underestimate Hou Li, then you are wrong. Hou Li is indeed inferior to the other three in terms of cultivation talent, but in another talent, he is indeed far superior to everyone else, like a god-like existence. As mentioned earlier, Hou Siye has more than ten grandchildren.
And Fourth Master Hou has only one son, so those grandsons are naturally made by Hou Li. Hou Li married five wives, each of whom gave birth to at least two. And what made Hou Li most famous was last year.
One day last year, more than 100 children were born in Cangyan County, that is, the day Hou Yi was born. And on that day, five children of the Hou family were born at the same time, and if Hou Yi is counted, it will be six. Speaking of which, you must be shocked, right? The Hou family has only four grandchildren, but six babies were born on the same day.
In this way, there must be a strong man who has at least two children a day.
That's right, that strongman is Hou Li, but he didn't have two children, but four children. There were four more sons on the same day, what kind of power is this?
And the four children are not twins, that is to say, there are four mothers. And everyone was born on the same day, so many people thought about whether Hou Li was the one with his four wives on the same day, and everyone won the bid.
So, do you think he's strong?
It's better to be ashamed, all the masters of Cangyan County worship Hou Li, this is my generation model, this is the example. It's not great to do it four times a day, but it's great that you can get pregnant with all four women, and finally have a baby on the same day.
This is not a technical problem, but a character problem, how good a character can be so strong!
Therefore, when they learned that Hou Li had four wives and babies on the same day, all the men who were still barren immediately asked the painter to paint a portrait of Hou Li, and then hung it in the middle of the hall, and worshiped several times a day.
If you want to have children, worship Hou Li.
This was the most popular word in Cangyan County last year, and it is still popular today.
When Hou Yi knew this, he only had the strength to sigh: When God closes a door for you, he must have opened another window for you.
Look at Hou Li, this is the best proof. Although his talent was the worst among the three generations of Hou, his fertility was the strongest. Of course, the worst talent mentioned here is also relatively speaking, if it is placed in the entire Cangyan County, Hou Li's talent can be ranked in the top 1,000, the middle and upper reaches of the level.
As for the third Hou Feng, this guy is also very talented, second only to the eldest Hou Zhan, of course, he is also tied with the fourth Hou general. The second generation of the Hou family is very powerful, and once led the entire Cangyan County. The Hou family's status as one of the four major families in Cangyan County is due to the contribution of the four Hou second generations.
Now the three generations of the Hou family have the same essence, and they also have the trend of leading the entire Cangyan County. However, Cangyan County has existed for nearly a hundred years, and the number of people in the entire Cangyan County is already very large, and some families that can give birth have lasted for five or six generations.
Everyone knows that when the family is big, the competition will be fierce, and the children who grow up in a fierce competitive environment will definitely not lack mediocrity. As for who should lead the entire Cangyan County in the end, only by comparing can we know.
Every 'big war' is very lively and attracts attention from all sides. The 'big war' is an opportunity for all young heroes to stand out, and it is also an opportunity for each major valve family to select talents. Compared with the immaturity of the 'small war', the 'big war' is particularly formal and enthusiastic.
Almost everyone has to participate, and even if you can't compete on stage, it's good to stand and watch from the audience. It's a grand event that only comes in three years, and it's strange if it's not lively.
So in these days when the 'big war' was approaching, the atmosphere in the entire Cangyan County was extremely hot. Those young people who have been hunting fierce beasts all year round, or traveling to study and sharpen, have come back around these days. The Hou family has a few more half-grown children that Hou Yi has never seen, and it is said that they came back from studying in Huangcheng County.
There is also a grand event in Huangcheng County, but unfortunately the specifications are too high, and these children who are only twelve or thirteen years old can't participate, so they can only go home and participate in the grand event in their hometown.
For these extra brothers and sisters, Hou Yi hid directly in the house and didn't see any of them. Now I can't pretend to be dumb, I have to call him if I see someone older than him, Hou Yi doesn't want to be taken advantage of, so he has to hide.
Time passed slowly but firmly, and five days passed in a flash, but for Hou Yi, it was a torturous five days, because he had been hiding at home.
However, today is the opening day of the grand event, and the people of the entire Hou Mansion got up early to make final preparations. Hou Yi also sighed that he could finally be freed, so he got up earlier than his parents, and then he was busy with this and that. As for what he was busy with, he didn't know.
Although Cangyan County is a new county, the infrastructure of this county is not bad at all. In the center of the county, there is a huge sinkhole, the sinkhole is oval-shaped, and the bottom is about 10,000 square meters, which is very large. The bottom of the sinkhole is 20 meters high from the ground, and the surrounding area is like a dike, with an inclination angle of more than 30 degrees.
So this huge sinkhole is like a big football field, and spectators can perfectly sit on the surrounding slopes and watch the games below.
Since this is a naturally formed sinkhole, and it is on a flat terrain, the rainwater cannot be drained at all, and a lot of water has accumulated in the sinkhole. In the summer when there is plenty of rain, it can even spread to the ground.
It's the end of winter, and it hasn't rained for a long time, so there's not much water at the bottom of the sinkhole, only three or five meters high.
It doesn't matter if there is water, everyone is a strong person who ignites the source power, and the eaves walk on the wall as if they were walking normally. And some of the water is not bad, just forming a natural gladiatorial arena.
Before the competition, some strong players choose some stones of the right size and throw them inside. The stones are higher than the water, like a small reef island, especially now, there are many stones leaking from the high and low, and it looks like a different scenery.
The rules of the game are simple, as soon as you fall into the water you lose, or kick you out of the field and you lose. Aside from the prohibition of weapons, there are no restrictions on any fighting skills or martial arts.
Even though this is a big battle, the strength of all the participants is not high, and the stone is still very durable. Of course, because it's a small place, there's no real genius. If it was in Huangcheng County, or even in the Imperial Capital City, where demons were rampant, stones were no different from mud and sand in their eyes.
When Hou Yi saw this sinkhole for the first time, he was also so shocked that he couldn't speak. Of course, at that time, he was only two or three months old, and he was still eating his grandmother, and he didn't seem to be able to speak.
However, it is still very good to have such a sinkhole as a competition venue. In fact, this is not uncommon on earth, such as those naturally formed ponds, large and small, or lakes, which can be transformed into a gladiatorial arena similar to this one with a little modification.
Naturally, the people of the earth are very civilized, and they can't do anything if they disdain it, and the people here are very barbaric, and I don't know who put the 10,000-ton boulders into it. But if Hou Yi was allowed to choose, he would still choose here without hesitation.
This is where the king should live, this is the world he wants.
The people in Cangyan County all knew what they were going to do today, so many people went to find a location in advance before dawn. Choose a good location, bring a few catties of beef jerky, watch the game and cheer and chew the beef jerky, the degree of enjoyment is no less than watching the World Cup.
However, no one grabbed it in the first few rows, it was a position reserved for the reserve players, and it was also a position reserved for the bigwigs in Cangyan County. In this world where strength is respected, everyone is very rule-abiding, otherwise it will only cause death.
In this world, killing someone is as simple as killing a chicken. If you annoy a strong man, he will kill you. Unless you have a thick backer, no one will help you, and if you die, you will die.
Of course, everyone knows that all human enemies are fierce beasts, so in general, no one attacks their own people. Unless it is forced to do so, and there is a deep hatred in the sea of blood, the phenomenon of people killing people is still very rare.
As one of the four major families in Cangyan County, the Hou family naturally has the conditions to enjoy the front row position. However, Mrs. Hou did not come, except for giving birth to six babies on the same day last year, Hou Yi has never seen the old lady Hou who is more than 120 years old.
After all, this is still a young man's competition, and the old turtles are not interested. Unless it's the ultimate battle every five years, those old turtles basically don't come out.
Hou Sanye is also very important in the Hou family, and he only has one grandson, so he naturally has to hold it in his arms and sit in the best position to watch the game. At this time, Hou Yi didn't come down, where is it not good to sit with a meat pad? You must know that this kind of grand event is open all day, except for going to the toilet and eating, the rest of the time is here.
His body is still tender, and even if he sits on his own, he won't be able to sit for long.
Hou Yi really wants to sit in his mother's arms, after all, he has parents in this life, and he enjoys the taste of especially maternal love. It's just that Hou Sanye is such a grandson, unlike the fourth master, who has already held more than ten of them, so he won't let Hou Yi go.
Seeing that Hou Sanye didn't let go, Hou Yi fortunately chose the most comfortable position to lie down, regardless of whether his old man could bear it or not. Then he took a piece of pre-marinated jerky in his mouth and gnawed on it. That little look doesn't mention how pleasant, well, it's very bad.
Hou Sanye's chest rose and fell for a while, his forehead was bruised, his fists were clenched and retracted, and after a few times, he finally sighed in resignation and slowly put it down.
With such a little ancestor on the stall, I really don't know if it's a blessing or a curse.
