Chapter 1 Twin Sons

The cold winter is coming, the biting cold wind is raging in the world, the first snow is like catkins drifting with the wind, and the warm winter sun illuminates the sky, shining a few rays of sunlight through the thick snow between the treetops.

The snow is like a huge and luxurious blanket covering this vast and rich land, and the earth under the snow is more vibrant, and everything is revived.

A tall and heavy mountain range, like a dragon lying on the vast land, winding for millions of miles, so vigorous and majestic.

Tribes are located in it, as noon approaches, the smoke is faint, looking down on the earth, the tribes are faintly visible, as many as stars.

At the corner of the mountain, a narrow and steep canyon hidden behind a lush giant tree, the canyon was more than two horse-drawn carriages walking side by side, and after passing through the canyon, a vast desert plain with a radius of more than 100 miles, a layer of shallow snow covered the earth, it was a valley like a paradise.

In the heart of the valley, a continuous gentle hill gradually comes into view, on a vast desert plain, but there is no abruptness, everything is so natural and harmonious.

The hills are full of trees, adding a bit of spring to this winter. A tribe is located on a hill, built on it, mysterious and full of security.

Stone walls and tree-made houses appear and disappear in the trees, blocking the eyes of outsiders, and many families live here.

Giggle~Giggle!

A snow-white, red-crowned animal relied on its vigorous feet, constantly playing in the yard, a big man in a beast robe took advantage of his unpreparedness, pounced, and caught this rooster-like animal in the blink of an eye, looking very vigorous.

"Lian Shansheng, your mother-in-law hasn't given birth yet? ”

Qi Lianfeng, who was in his thirties, dressed in sackcloth, leaned over, carried a longbow, and held prey in his hand, standing outside the isosceles-high fence and asked.

"It's almost there, why are you in a hurry? He didn't even look back and said.

Qi Lianfeng smiled when he heard this: "Isn't there still a few people in our Lianshan tribe to bring a handful, come to you, the pheasant you just beat will be stewed for your sister-in-law to eat." ”

As he spoke, he handed over the prey in his hand.

"Haha," Lian Shan Sheng smiled and took the pheasant into his hand.

At this moment, a bright meteor streaked across the sky, and as the meteor passed, a mist gradually covered the mountains.

In the mountains, eagles strike the sky, snakes hover, a layer of pale golden light blooms in the valley, and the trees seem to be inlaid with gold edges, making this place even more sacred.

"Sheng, Sheng!"

Suddenly, there was a woman's scream from inside the wooden house, and Lian Shansheng dropped the things in his hand and hurriedly ran into the house.

The house is simple, with six rooms on the second floor, built by trees, and there are wooden bowls and pots and other living utensils in the house, and the only thing that is slightly eye-catching may be the corner bow hanging on the west wall.

Lian Shan Sheng rushed to the second floor after entering the door, and stepped on the wooden ladder as if he was overwhelmed.

The second floor was very spacious, separated by a few pieces of linen cloth at random, and divided into different areas, and a huge wooden bed covered with animal skins, about a foot long, was placed in a corner of the room.

A delicate-faced woman or a pregnant woman squatted on the ground, her brows furrowed, in this cold early winter, sweat soaked the thick linen cotton robe on her body, you can imagine its pain, the pregnant woman tightly protected her stomach with one hand, and the other hand could only rely on a bamboo table to support her body, lest she fall.

"Ah Yun, how are you?"

Lian Shansheng had just stepped on the second floor when he saw this scene, he was frightened, and hurriedly walked towards the pregnant woman, and asked anxiously while carrying the woman to the side of the big bed.

The pregnant woman curled up in Lian Shansheng's arms, one hand protecting her belly, and the other hand grasping Sheng's thick and swarthy arm, clutching Ge Ge as she clutched the clothes made of animal skins.

"Quick, go and call Wu Gong and A-Niang, I'm going to give birth. ”

The woman named Tuoba Yun was lying on the bed and shouted to Lian Shansheng, who looked anxious and at a loss.

When Lian Shansheng heard this, he couldn't help but smile, and hurriedly propped up the wooden window on the second floor, and shouted downstairs: "Dafeng, go and invite Wu Gong to come, Ah Yun is going to give birth." ”

Qi Lianfeng, who was standing outside the courtyard, was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but think,

"How can you say that you are born. ”

Lian Shansheng, who was panicking upstairs, at such a critical moment, Qi Lianfeng was still in a daze downstairs, and he bent down and picked up an arm-sized beast bone from the side and threw it down, shouting:

"Don't go yet!"

As the beast bones landed, Qi Lianfeng woke up and hurriedly ran towards the center of the tribe, shouting loudly as he ran:

"You go and accompany Ah Yun, and I'll go and inform Wu Gong and the clansmen. ”

After Lian Shansheng saw Qi Lianfeng go away, his expression was suspended, and he hurriedly turned around and walked to the wooden bed, looking at his wife's pain and wailing, but he was powerless.

"Ah Yun, don't worry, Dafeng has gone to invite Wu Gong and Ah Niang, they will be here soon!" Lian Shansheng said anxiously to the mother on the bed.

He squatted on the edge of the bed, holding Tuoba Yun's hand tightly with both hands.

A tall burly man was like a child at this time, crouching on the edge of the bed, not to mention, more nervous than the pregnant woman lying on the bed waiting to give birth.

"The mother-in-law of the Lianshan Sheng family is about to give birth!"

Qi Lianfeng shouted all the way and ran towards the depths of the tribe.

Along the way, many women who were cooking, and the men who were working were stunned when they heard this, and hurriedly put down the things in their hands and ran towards Lian Shansheng's house.

A few frolicking children on the road saw the figure of their parents, and hurriedly chased after them step by step, adding a lot of joy along the way.

This is the unity of the tribes, the emotion of not separating each other, like a family.

Qi Lianfeng hurriedly ran all the way, from time to time he pushed aside the trees blocking the road, stepped past the bucket-thick roots under his feet, like green tendons, and walked into an open place.

With a radius of dozens of miles, the terrain is flat, and the stone locks that can be seen everywhere are scattered everywhere.

The only thing that catches the eye may be the stone tripod of different sizes and faint golden lines in the center of this martial arts arena.

Qi Lianfeng glanced at the martial arts arena, and saw a burly giant man with a height of eight feet being drilling, and the sweaty man in the clan was trembling like a little chicken under the slap of the giant man, and he couldn't help but tremble, and hurriedly shifted his gaze.

Directly east of the martial arts arena, a huge banyan tree appeared, blocking Qi Lianfeng's sight, which was the residence of the clan elders, the most awe-inspiring and desirable existence among the tribes.

There is also an altar in front of the big banyan tree, the mountain stone is cast, towering and inward, nine layers and hundreds of zhang, covering a vast area, this is the only altar of the tribe.

In the center of the altar, it is a huge bronze ancient tripod that is less than twenty or thirty zhang high, green and dark red light, flat along the round bottom of the three legs, double ears, surrounded by inscriptions, the wall of the tripod is embossed with a pattern, there are ten thousand beasts galloping, through the ancient and mysterious pattern, all things seem to be included in it.

Although the altar is majestic, it is still a little small compared to the huge size of the banyan tree.

Qi Lianfeng walked under the big banyan tree, looking at the tree that was close to withering, I don't know how many years it has survived, the tree path is wide, and the simple wooden houses are built between the branches, among which there is the residence of Wu Zhu.

Wu Zhu, the most noble existence in the tribe, holds the tribe sacrifices, dies, has mysterious and powerful power, and is honored by him as Wu Gong, which is equal to or even better than the status of other clans in the tribe.

"Wu Gong, Wu Gong, Ah Yun is about to give birth!" Qi Lianfeng shouted as he stood under the big banyan tree and raised his head.

With Qi Lianfeng's shout, an old man in a hooded linen robe leaned out, his black and white withered hair naturally hung down on both sides of his head, and his body shrank a little, and he was already in his twilight years.

Wu Zhu stood between the branches of the banyan tree and looked down at the ground, looking at Qi Lianfeng, leaking a ruddy complexion like a child, with a pale face, which was terrifying, and anyone would admire a fairy face forever.

"I know. Wu Zhu replied indifferently.

In a trance, Wu Zhu appeared in front of Qi Lianfeng, with gray hair and a strange crutch with black and shiny oil.

Although Wu Zhu looks old, his skin is wrinkled, and his waist is slightly bowed, his body shape is still the same as that of Qi Lianfeng.

Wu Gong walked in front of Qi Lianfeng, his steps were hidden, but he took more than two steps, his figure flashed among the trees, and disappeared from Qi Lianfeng's sight in the blink of an eye.

As noon approached, wisps of cooking smoke wafted over the Lianshan tribe, drifting in the sky with the wind, and the snowflakes on the horizon.

And in the courtyard of Lian Shan Sheng, a large number of clansmen also gathered, and even Shan Sheng himself was driven down from the second floor by a white-haired old woman, who was waiting anxiously in the courtyard.

On the second floor, a kind old woman held Tuoba Yun's hands, and whispered encouragement to relieve Tuoba Yun's nervous mood.

"A-Niang, you must keep my child!" Tuoba Yun said bitterly as he lay on the bed.

"Just leave it to A-Niang. The old woman replied softly.

.........

With the screams of the women on the second floor, Lian Shansheng was so anxious that he kept walking back and forth in the yard.

Looking back, Lian Shansheng saw Wu Zhu's figure appear in front of the door, and he couldn't help but feel sure.

Watching Wu Gong slowly walk into the courtyard, Lian Shansheng and all the clansmen in the courtyard hurriedly bowed their heads and saluted, making way for a passage to the house, allowing Wu Zhu to walk and stand in front.

Wu Zhu looked at Lian Shansheng, who looked anxious beside him, and comforted him softly: "Don't worry, I'm here, I will be safe." ”

"Hmm!" Lian Shansheng replied softly.

But when Lian Shansheng heard the woman crying miserably from the second floor, her body trembled slightly, and she was as tight as a bow, as if she was about to run to the second floor in the next moment.

At this time, Qi Lianfeng, who informed everyone, rushed over, walked to Lian Shansheng quietly, and asked Lian Shansheng:

"How's it going? Is A-Qing born?"

Hearing Qi Lianfeng's words, Lian Shansheng was stunned and didn't quite understand.

"What Ah Qing, who is Ah Qing?" asked Lian Shansheng.

"It's Ah Yun's child, called Lian Shanqing, I got it, what do you think?" Qi Lianfeng leaned in front of Lian Shansheng and said with a wink.

"Ah Yun's child, Lian Shanqing?" Lian Shansheng thought of this, looking at Qi Lianfeng, who was surrounded by hippie smiles.

Suddenly, his face darkened, his brows furrowed, and he lifted Qi Lianfeng's shirt with one hand, and threw it out, throwing Qi Lianfeng outside the hospital.

Bang!

Qi Lianfeng lay on the snow outside the courtyard, looking at the snowflakes he had splashed, his body was muddy, and he shook his slightly dizzy head, a little stunned.

"Who am I?

Where am I?

What did I do?"

Qi Lianfeng's stupid actions caused many clansmen to chuckle.

On the second floor, Tuoba Yun shouted hoarsely, sweat mixed with tears wet his clothes, soaking the thick cotton blanket made of animal skins under him.

The wet hair stuck to the red face indiscriminately, the eyebrows were twisted into knots, and he gasped quickly and anxiously, one voice higher than the other, and his head was even more blank as he clutched the already soaked cotton cover tightly.

"Wow!" "Wow!"

A loud cry sounded, and everyone upstairs and in the courtyard was light, and the corners of their mouths leaked a blessed smile.

However, the sound of the woman's childbirth was still wailing.

An old woman popped up from the window and said, "There's another one!"

Lian Shansheng was suddenly shocked, the tribe rarely had twins born, and he was very anxious.

At this time, Qi Lianfeng also had no heart to play, and stood beside Lian Shansheng in mud, comforting him softly.

"Wu Gong, Wu Gong!" Lian Shansheng shouted anxiously, but he didn't answer for a long time, Lian Shansheng looked over, and there was no longer the old figure of Wu Zhu beside him.

I saw that Wu Zhu was standing at the door at this time, looking at the east with a solemn expression, his eyes were blazing, and occasionally there was a divine light flickering in it, his body was straight, his waist was straight, and he was no longer old.

Lian Shansheng was a little stunned, he had never seen Wugong with such a demeanor, although he was puzzled in his heart, he didn't dare to disturb, so he had to shift his gaze and keep a close eye on Mulou's every move.

The inexplicable breath flowed, gradually converging in the mountains, and the roars of fierce birds and beasts broke the silence of the past, rising and falling one after another in the reckless mountains.

The sky sounded a thunderbolt on a sunny day, a burst of winter thunder, cracking the heavens and the earth, the tiny things under the snow revived, the grass poked out shoots, the trees pulled out new branches, life rotated, and Ze was born.

Then, the miserable howl of pain on the second floor gradually lowered until it disappeared.

Pedal Pedal Ped

With the sound of going downstairs, I saw an old woman, holding a baby wrapped in soft animal skin in the crook of her left and right arms, appeared on the first floor, and Lian Shansheng and everyone hurriedly greeted her.

Two immature babies, put in a specially prepared cradle, with pink skin, red faces, wrinkled, like a little old man, where they closed their eyes and cried, louder than the other.

Lian Shansheng cautiously approached one of the babies who was tightly wrapped, and just wanted to reach out to pick it up, but was squeezed aside by Qi Lianfeng, Ah Qing, Ah Qing teased.

Lian Shansheng's face was extremely stinky, but he was helpless.

"The one on the left is the boss, and the one on the right is a few quarters of an hour younger. The old woman whispered to the side.

When Lian Shansheng heard this, he didn't care about being annoyed by Qi Lianfeng, so he hurriedly looked down.

But I saw that the baby on the right was very weak, the cry was very small, the breathing was light and weak, only five or six pounds in weight, the only amazing thing was that there was a wonderful pattern of two purple lines intertwined at the center of the eyebrows, revealing a kind of mystery and luxury.

And the baby on the left is not unusual, but his body is much stronger, the heavenly court is full, three or four pounds heavier than the baby on the right, his little hands and legs are moving non-stop, and from time to time he sticks on his brother's face, crying and crying, very energetic.

I don't know when, Wu Zhu quietly appeared in front of the cradle, his eyes fixed on the baby on the right, his brows furrowed.

Suddenly, Wu Zhu put his right hand to his mouth, and with a bite of his mouth, a blood mark appeared on his thumb, and he reached out and wiped it on the center of the baby's eyebrows on the right, like a cinnabar-like scarlet mark, covering the purple divine pattern.

Wu Zhu turned his head sideways, and then looked to the left, his eyebrows were twisted into a pimple, but he didn't move for a long time.

Lian Shansheng saw it on the side and hurriedly wanted to ask, but Qi Lianfeng beside him hugged him tightly, covered his lips, and didn't let him speak.

Lian Shansheng looked at Qi Lianfeng who was holding him, his mouth whimpered, he never thought that Qi Lianfeng would have such strength, he was like a plaything in his hands, he couldn't break free from Qi Lianfeng's shackles, and he had no power to fight back.

Qi Lianfeng looked at Lian Shansheng who was struggling and moving, shook his head silently, and let go of him.

Lian Shansheng looked stunned, and slowly relaxed, he believed in Wu Zhu, and even more believed in his brothers, they would not hurt themselves.

At this time, I saw that everyone hurriedly crowded and stood around the cradle, as if they had not seen what had just happened.

And Wu Zhu had already disappeared outside the door, looking at the excitement in the house, standing in place in a daze, not knowing what to think.
