The village of Kona, a village that retains the ancient customs of Rafah.

Sister Fang was lying on her bed. Since she woke up, in addition to being a little sad and angry at the beginning, she was slowly a little shy and expectant.

After she became sensible, she knew that she was "hard-hitting", except for the uncle and the eldest brother Fang Dacai, few people in the village were willing to contact her.

The villagers are very simple, but because of this simplicity, they will also have some deep-rooted thinking patterns in their hearts, and it is difficult to change what they have identified. has pity for her, but it is difficult to have close real actions, and they are afraid that their lives will not be as hard as Sister Fang.

Since she was a child, she was actually not so happy, feeling the deliberate distance of the people in the village, she gradually did not have too much contact with others, and spent more time learning various crafts at home. Fortunately, he is the village chief at home, and there are a lot of ancient books that can be read, and she is also looking for the happiness that belongs to her.

At home, she was used to being called "father" by her uncle.

When I grew up, I didn't change my words after knowing my background, but I called less often, and more often I walked to my uncle's side to talk.

No one in her uncle's family asked her to change her words, so in her heart, she would not care about anything except her uncle's house.

It can't be said that the people in the village excluded her, after all, in simple emotions. For her, a woman who has no father and no mother, it is more of a pity. But she could feel the deliberate alienation of the people in the village from her, which was not a pleasant thing, and grievances and grievances always ran through her life.

Going out hunting with her eldest brother Fang Dacai, that kind of time when she is in nature is the most relaxing time for her, she does not need to bear the hard work of hunting, under the care of her eldest brother, it is more of a relaxation, like a bird that has restored her natural freedom.

The nature of a girl is most easily released at such a time, and she does not care about which tree will dislike her or which grass will avoid her around the eldest brother, and because of this, she is unprepared to accidentally fall down the hillside and roll down.

In such a short time, she thought that she had come to the end of her life. But he just passed out, and after he passed out......

From the mouth of the eldest uncle, I vaguely knew that there was a soldier who played hooligan on her, and she seemed to feel the feeling of being harassed by "hooligans" when she touched her chest.

She didn't feel the anger and shyness she should have been violated, but realized that she was also needed, and in addition to the uncle's family, there were other people who also needed her.

It was a strange feeling, and even though she didn't remember it at all, it was as if she could feel another kind of warmth from it.

In the past, the night wind in the mountains was cold for so many years. At night, the quilt must be pressed tightly, and even when it is too cold, there is a fire pit to keep warm.

But tonight's wind is clearly different, Sister Fang feels that her body is so hot, just like a cold and fever, it is an inexplicable heat that radiates from the depths of the body! The whole burn is like melting people, and even lifting the quilt can't eliminate and alleviate the heat.

The uncle and the eldest brother didn't seem to come back overnight.

In the early morning, when the dew fell, Sister Fang's body that had been excited and sleepless all night was not a little tired, and the feverish body felt a trace of shyness at this time.

Putting on her clothes, she walked out of her room and sat at the door of the small building, the night breeze was cool and sticking to her body, and it seemed that some of the fever sensations had subsided. Looking at the ancestral hall that was still visible not far away, the bright light that had not been extinguished that night, like a small fire in her heart, lit up the village of Kona in the night.

Sitting there and watching quietly, I can only watch like this. She knew that there must be a discussion in the ancestral hall about what happened yesterday, but she was treated as if she didn't exist, which was the tradition of Kona Village. It wasn't helpless, she couldn't get involved, she couldn't even oppose or approve all the decisions inside, as she had been for as long as she could remember.

It wasn't until the sky was white and the smoke had begun to rise from the villagers' houses that she saw her uncle coming from a distance.

The pace is not as vigorous as before, and there seems to be some staggering, step by step as if knocking on her heart, knocking her heart and beating with it.

This time, she didn't wait for the uncle to approach as usual, but called out before the uncle approached the small building: "Father, you're back!" ”

Standing up, like a person waiting for the verdict to be announced, he lowered his head but looked up at the uncle as he walked up the stairs of the small building step by step until he came to her.

"Why do you wake up so early? Can't sleep? The uncle's tone of concern, as always, may have been due to talking too much in the night or because of something else, and his voice was deeper than usual.

"Hmm," Fang Damei replied in a low nasal voice that only Fang Zhenhai could hear.

"Let's go inside, it's cold outside." Fang Zhenhai walked in with his feet raised.

Sister Fang still followed with her head down, but she walked a few steps quickly, and before Fang Zhenhai, she swept the chair in the living room with her sleeves, wiped it with her cuffs a few times, and stood next to her.

Fang Zhenhai sat down and let out a sigh.

Looking at Sister Fang's appearance, there was such a pain in my heart.

Although he is not his own daughter, he has been hugging, watching, and supporting the girl who grew up since the full moon, how could he not feel distressed.

But he is the head of Kona Village, the most important backbone of the family, and his every decision is not just for him and his small family.

He was also helpless, the initiative or the choice of the development of things was no longer in his hands, not even in the hands of Kona Village.

The peaceful life and familiarity with the environment for too long made the clansmen less sensitive and willing than their ancestors. He was understandable, after all, before yesterday, he thought he would die of old age in this land.

"Big sister, ...... you" Fang Zhenhai originally planned to ask Big Sister Fang what she thought, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that this was basically nonsense.

Even if a child has his own ideas, is it useful?! Why let the child have hope and be disappointed!

wanted to comfort the child, but he couldn't say this, after all, even if it was his own daughter, it was difficult for him to speak.

"Father, I listen to you." Just when Fang Zhenhai didn't know how to speak, Sister Fang said to Fang Zhenhai.

This sentence almost made Fang Zhenhai's heart collapse, and the old tears almost fell.

Sister Fang may think very simply, but he can't! His inability was not only because he was the village chief, not just because of the overnight negotiations, not just because of his powerlessness, but more because he could only wait.

Waiting for an outcome that even he was sure of, and whatever that outcome was, he had to accept it. And Sister Fang didn't have any strength to refuse, so she could only go along with it.

"Good boy, I'm a little tired. You go back to the house first, I'll wait for your eldest brother to come back from cleaning up the ancestral hall and have something to say to him. Fang Dahai's tone was surprisingly weak.

Watching Sister Fang go back to her room, Fang Zhenhai couldn't lift any strength anymore, and he grew a lot older overnight, as if twilight was entangled.

Something was draining his own energy, making him more powerless than ever.

In last night's discussion, most of the clan elders and the heads of various families did not think that this matter should rise to the level of emulating the ancestors and relocating. If the military must give an explanation because of Sister Fang's innocence, the troops may not be able to accept it.

As for what Sister Fang would think, and what impact it would have on her future life, she couldn't be treated on an equal footing with the entire village.

Moreover, Sister Fang's "hard life" is something that everyone knows, rather than letting the people of a village suffer because of her fate, it is better to wait and see how the army will deal with this matter.

After all, the wrong party at the beginning was not Kona Village, and the Rafa Empire has always treated them with a way of treating them, so Kona Village will not be too embarrassed.

And the matter of Fang Dacai kidnapping the soldiers back, judging from the process of Captain Zhou's coming to the village, the army did not intend to pursue it, so there would be nothing in the village that could not be beared. Moreover, both of them belong to the village chief's family, and they can't change the entire village just because they are the village chief's family.

In the understanding of most clan elders, at most, Sister Fang was touched a few handfuls by the other party, and without losing a piece of skin or a lot of meat, she endured it.

What's more, there is any family in the village who is brave enough to compete with her and is not afraid of death. This time I went out, and I fell down such a high hillside, and there was nothing wrong with it, but because of her, Fang Dacai was impulsive and put the village in a state of embarrassment.
