Chapter 8: Giants
Fifth Brother Zhang cut off a few large pieces of bear meat he brought with him, and boiled it half-cooked in the hot spring, so he ate it to his heart's content. He has been trekking in the snow for a few days, and his body is dirty and smelly, so he found a spring that is not hot, went in to scrub and scrub, and the old mud on his body was rubbed down more than two catties, and the flesh and skin saw its true color.
Mei washed the clothes that Fifth Brother Zhang had taken off, hung them on a bush to dry, walked closer, and said with a smile: "Fifth Brother, only women in the tribe will sink their bodies into the water when they take a bath." β
Seeing that Mei was not shy about it, Fifth Brother Zhang couldn't help blushing, and asked abruptly, "What is the posture of that man?" β
Mei made a gesture with her arms outstretched, and said, "Men put their arms on the shore and talk loudly while bathing. β
Fifth Brother Zhang didn't dare to be so wild, his body sank into the water again, and his eyes fell on the twin peaks that Mei Kan could grasp.
"Beast!" Fifth Brother Zhang scolded himself secretly, turned his gaze, and looked as if he had been stung by a wasp.
Mei looked at Fifth Brother Zhang's embarrassed appearance, secretly amused, and couldn't help asking, "Fifth Brother, why did the totem fire choose you?" β
"Totem fire? Are you talking about this thing? Fifth Brother Zhang's mind moved, and a little yellow flame appeared at the center of his eyebrows.
Mei didn't expect the great totemic fire to come immediately, so she hurriedly raised her hands and knelt down reverently. When she looked up again, she saw that the totem fire was gone.
Fifth Brother Zhang said to Mei: "It turns out that this yellow flame is called the fire of the totem, not that it chose me, but that it returned to me." β
Fifth Brother Zhang didn't understand why he said this, as if this kind of thinking was a matter of course, and it had long been engraved in his soul.
Mei seemed to understand whether she understood or not, but she felt that the moment Fifth Brother Zhang summoned the totem fire, it seemed that he had changed a person, with an indescribable majesty and momentum.
"Listen to grandpa, all heroes who are blessed by the fire of totems will become the king of our barbarians." Mei's face was full of adoration.
Fifth Brother Zhang asked, "The king of the barbarians? Bigger than the secretary of the Commune? β
In Zhang Wuge's impression, the commune secretary is the biggest official, and the production captain who usually has a cowhide coax nod when he sees the commune secretary, and the commune secretary doesn't have to work, when he eats a big pot of rice, he can squat on the stove with a bowl and pick meat to eat.
Mei didn't know what the secretary of the commune was, so she replied proudly: "The king of the barbarians is the true master of the continent of Os, and all the land where the sun shines belongs to him." β
Fifth Brother Zhang said: "Then I can't be this king, the whole world has been given to me, I just can't finish planting without eating, sleeping, or planting, if the land is barren and not planted, won't I become a loser?" β
Mei was speechless for a while, and after thinking about it, she said: "Fifth brother, if you become a king, you can let others do the work for you, and you don't have to do it yourself." β
Fifth Brother Zhang said: "Forget it, I can't arrange so many people to work, if the harvest is not good and the grain is not enough, then there will be no quarrel." β
Mei Moran nodded for a long time and said, "You are right, how can it be good to be free and easy to be the king of barbarians." β
Fifth Brother Zhang and Mei Zheng were talking happily, a tall figure walked over from not far away, carrying a skinned steppenwolf in his hand, found a geothermal spring, and squatted down to boil wolf meat in the spring water.
"Frost Giant!" Mei turned her head to look, and immediately opened her bow and arrows to meet it.
Fifth Brother Zhang didn't worry about Mei alone, and he didn't have time to pick up his clothes, so he grabbed the white bear skin, draped it on his body indiscriminately, and followed.
The frost giant was about two meters tall, with only a piece of animal skin around his waist, his bare skin was pale, his face was full of childishness, and there were two shiny snots hanging from his nose.
"Giant, the whole wasteland is the territory of the barbarians, why did you come here?" Mei's face was cold, and the bone arrow in her hand was aimed at the heart of the Frost Giant, and she asked loudly.
"Yes, you think this is your home, you can sing if you want to sing, and you can sing hot pot if you want to?" Fifth Brother Zhang shook his fist the size of a casserole, and said in a pretentious manner on the side.
The frost giant seemed to be taken aback, stared at Mei and Fifth Brother Zhang with big eyes, and then sat on the ground with his butt, and cried out with a wow.
"Hey, I said, we didn't care about you either, why are you crying?" Fifth Brother Zhang suddenly became very embarrassed, he felt that this giant might have a problem with his brain, and it was very unreasonable to bully a fool.
The frost giant pointed to the white bear skin that Fifth Brother Zhang was wearing, and cried and said, "You killed my white bear, you compensate me!" β
Fifth Brother Zhang's face was full of apologies, and he said: "It turns out that the white bear was raised by you, so I can't help it, but it wants to eat us, and we have to kill him." β
The Frost Giant wiped the snot and tears from his face with his hand, stood up, and said, "The white bear was raised by me since I was a child, and I listened to it the most, so you will compensate me for being an identical white bear!" β
Mei was very dissatisfied that Fifth Brother Zhang had deviated from the topic, took a step forward, and asked, "Giant, why did you break into the territory of the barbarians?" β
The Frost Giant said stupidly, "Mom and Dad brought me here, I don't like it at all, I want to ride the white bear back to my hometown in the Ice Field, but Mom and Dad won't let me go back." A few days ago, there was a snowstorm, my white bear was lost, I looked for a long time, I didn't expect to be killed by you, compensate me! β
After the frost giant finished speaking, he looked at the bear skin that Fifth Brother Zhang was wearing, his cheeks bulged out with anger, and he suddenly stretched out his fan-like hand, grabbed it, hugged the white bear skin and cried loudly.
Fifth Brother Zhang stood on the spot naked, and the skin of his whole body came into close contact with the cold air, but he didn't feel a little cold. Since fusing with the yellow flames, his body seems to have undergone some kind of mysterious transformation, becoming more and more powerful and powerful, and the cold wind is as gentle to him as a lover's breath.
"Who bullied my son Bohart?"
With a roar, a three-meter-tall frost giant rode a huge white bear and walked menacingly, followed by seven or eight adult frost giants with angry expressions.
"Your son?" Fifth Brother Zhang looked at the adult giant in the lead, and then at the little giant with tears on his face, and the two were really very similar.
"Bohart is twelve years old, the only son of my Kafeng, and all the Frost Giants know it!" The Frost Giant Ka Feng jumped off the white bear, two stone thighs that rattled on the ground.
Mei said loudly: "The wasteland is the territory of the barbarians, not a place where giants can scatter wild, I don't care where you come from, now you must leave!" β
Barbarians are not afraid of giants, and there were many cyclops in the wasteland, but in the end, there was not one left who was besieged and killed by the barbarians. In the eyes of the barbarians, the giants are only taller and stronger, and they will bleed when they are shot by arrows, and they will die if their heads are cut off.
The frost giant Ka Feng looked down at Mei, pointed with one hand, and said, "Little girl, please don't interrupt my question, who bullied my son?" β
In the barbarian tradition, it is an insult to point your finger at someone else, and no barbarian will endure such an insult unless he is a slave.
Mei didn't wait for Ka Feng to finish speaking, and an arrow shot him in the chest.
The Frost Giant smiled disdainfully, stretched out his big hand to catch the arrow, and then grabbed the rose with his other hand.
Fifth Brother Zhang originally had some apologies, but when he saw that Mei was in danger, he suddenly became angry, and he didn't think about it, so he stretched out his right hand and grabbed Ka Feng's wrist, and shouted: "If you have something to say to me, what kind of ability is it to bully women." β
The frost giant Ka Feng's arm was thicker than Fifth Brother Zhang's thigh, but it was firmly grasped by Fifth Brother Zhang with one hand and couldn't move a little.
"That's a lot of strength!" The Frost Giant Ka Feng couldn't help but sigh in admiration, he hadn't taken the bare-ass barbarian in front of him in his eyes, but now he had to admit that this was an opponent worth paying attention to.
"Let's compare our strength." Ka Feng was interested, and suddenly exerted his whole body, and the green tendons on his arms burst out, and he was a few times thicker at once.
Fifth Brother Zhang is the age of blood and strength, although he is modest, but he has a kind of courage and ruthlessness in his bones, and he was suddenly stimulated today, but he refused to retreat easily. Seeing that Ka Feng refused to stop, he carried his strength with one arm, and with a loud roar, he actually flew the frost giant Ka Feng out, plopped, and fell into a hot spring ten meters away, and the water splashed everywhere.
The surrounding frost giants were completely shocked, how could Ka Feng be the number one warrior in the clan, how could he lose to a bare-ass barbarian like bean sprouts, and he was defeated so completely and so humiliatingly, could it be that there was a mammoth hidden in the body of this barbarian? Otherwise, how could there be such a huge force?
Mei's face was full of smiles, she had an almost blind admiration for Fifth Brother Zhang's combat power, what was it for a hero blessed by totem fire to defeat a frost giant, it was a matter of course to defeat a giant dragon. The only thing that felt embarrassed was that as Fifth Brother Zhang exerted his whole body, the things under him were also raised high, which was really a little unsightly.
Fifth Brother Zhang was brave with blood just now, and he didn't expect his strength to become so great, and he could throw a three-meter-tall behemoth out, as if he hadn't worked too hard, and he felt very relaxed. "Could this big guy be papier-mΓ’chΓ©?"
Ka Feng crawled out of the hot spring, drenched all over his body, knocked out an egg-sized bag on his forehead, and said to Fifth Brother Zhang: "You won just now, let's compete again, if I lose again, then your bullying of my son will be written off." β
Fifth Brother Zhang said: "I never bully children! The white bear raised by your son wanted to eat us, and we had no choice but to kill the white bear. β
Seeing that Fifth Brother Zhang's face didn't look like a lie, Ka Feng believed it a little, turned back to his son Bohat and said, "It's just a white bear, it's dead when it's dead, why are you crying?" He doesn't look like a man at all. β
Bohart seemed to be afraid of his father, Kafeng, and stopped crying.
