Garu has a god of war.

Legend has it that he has three heads and six arms, and his strength is infinite.

When he was eight years old, there was a vicious bear who had no hope of cultivation, gave up on himself, and went down the mountain to disturb the people.

At first, it was just to plunder chickens, ducks and livestock, but then when he got tired of eating, he began to eat people.

First, he secretly ate a few lone hunters, and slowly found that most of the so-called primates of all things were also greedy for life and afraid of death, so they became more and more blatant and swaggered into the village to prey.

People are afraid of this evil bear of unknown origin, and some wandering Taoist priests say that the evil bear has cultivated into a fine and has a spell, and the power of the world is no longer controllable.

So the village chief took the warriors of the clan to kneel in front of the mountain for three days and three nights, called "Bear King Daxian", and invited the evil bear down from the mountain.

The evil bear is not good at cultivation, but he can also be proficient in human language. Seeing that there were many people under the mountain, he thought that he was coming to crusade against himself, so he hid in the mountains for three days before daring to come down.

Actually, it's not scary.

What can be as terrible as the human heart?

Seeing that it had eaten and skinned the villagers alive, and it could retreat comfortably, coupled with the old way's words, everyone thought that this was an earth fairy and did not dare to offend.

The village chief said to it: "The bear king and the great immortal go down to earth, and we are willing to worship every year, and worship every year, just ask the great immortal to bless the village without hunger and disease, without waterlogging and drought." ”

The bear asked him, "What do you want to offer?"

The village chief said, "What does Daxian like?"

The bear touched his stomach and said, "I like to eat it." ”

When the village chief came, he had already discussed it with the villagers, and responded according to the plan: "The real estate of this village is limited, I don't know if it is feasible to serve 30 buckets of rice per month?"

The bear said, "I don't like rice, I love meat, human flesh, especially the meat of little dolls." ”

The village chief was a little hesitant, he did not have a means of contraception and throttling, but there were many children in the village. One less child, one less mouth to eat, and in general, seems to be beneficial and harmless.

It's just that who is willing to contribute their children?

In the era when human nature is cold and hungry, human life is never as good as animals.

After all, people have a mouth that can talk. He will cry and make trouble, he will disturb you, if you teach him a few lessons, your own children will be fine, and other people's families will cause trouble.

The village chief said in his heart: "I am the village head, and if I want to donate, I will donate to other people's children, who dares to beat my children's idea? Our village has limited land, and the descendants of other people's families have died, so these lands will not be mine in the end." ”

He turned back to discuss with everyone, moved with emotion and reason, and the world was endless. The villagers are simple, most of them have no opinions, and when they hear the most literate village chief say that they are in a daze, it seems that as long as they offer their own uncompetitive and unproductive loser things, they will immediately soar on the spot and become a Buddha.

And every child takes turns to send it, and everyone else's family has sent it, and our little doll now can't do anything but milk, so it's really better to send it.

This bloody deal, the vicious deal, the smooth outrageous.

The evil bear was very happy, although he promised the village chief to ensure that the wind and rain were smooth, but the wind and rain and drought would eventually pass, and when the time came, he stood up and said that he had achieved it by casting his own spell, which could be regarded as dealing with the promise.

It's a lazy habit, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to pass through spiritual wisdom in the opportunity and wouldn't be willing to devote itself to cultivation. Now you don't have to hunt for food by yourself, as soon as you wake up, someone will honestly send fresh and delicious children, and that is the best thing about bears.

The village chief also said that the children of each family were born in October, and they could only provide one pair a year, and they were afraid that they would be eaten up in a few years. Without descendants, even if the whole village is safe and sound, it is meaningless.

But the bear can't eat once a year, of course it doesn't agree.

The village chief said, "Then let's offer some chickens and ducks every month, and sacrifice a child every six months." ”

Vicious Bear hesitated, but agreed. Sometimes, if you can't help it, you can go to another village to eat two. Other villages are afraid, and when they hear about this village, they will also take the initiative to sacrifice, so they don't have to worry about eating.

Thinking of this, the evil bear was quite proud of his wisdom, and staggered back to the mountain with joy.

Half a year has passed, and according to the agreement, people should be sent up the mountain at this time, but who will be the first one?

Most of the people in this village are from the same case, and the surname Chen accounts for most of them. I didn't know who to choose, so the village chief summoned the heads of each family surnamed Chen to discuss.

First of all, he had to exclude the village chief's own children, and he thought about it, his little grandson was already six years old, and there were newborn babies in the village, so why not let the youngest one do this sacrifice. So he said coldly and solemnly: "Now that the farm is busy, there is a shortage of people in the village, and those who have the strength have gone to the field, so the old man thinks that the youngest child should be sent up the mountain." If you are young, you will not contribute much to the village, and you can follow this rule in the future. ”

He thought to himself that according to this method, as long as the birth month of the child was calculated, the birth of the child would be one month after the sacrifice, and the descendants of his family should have no problem. In addition to the few families in the village, they belong to their own families and culture, and those rough people may not be able to calculate so much.

The villagers also felt that it was inappropriate, but they couldn't say a reason, they were not their own kids, and they were too lazy to look up, most of them were silent, and there were few speculators, and they praised loudly. I don't know that a "village chief is wise" who goes against his will can get a few mouthfuls of food.

So, everyone got together and added up to each other, there are no less than 100 families in a village, and there are really several children born this year. The wild baby is free-range, and the eight characters of the birth date are the secrets of each family, and I am afraid that I will be used as a curse by someone with a heart, and I can't decide which one is the smallest for a while.

The parents who were selected were naturally heartbroken, unwilling to contribute their children, and lied about their births. The village chief was helpless, so he summoned a few mothers-in-law who delivered the baby and judged them by memory.

Every time the midwife looked at the head of the family, she would pretend to forget the specific deeds and ask a few times. The head of the house took the opportunity to stuff a small purse, which was a common coin in Jialou, and he could probably know the number by weighing it in two catties.

There are also those who don't understand the current affairs, and turn a blind eye to the midwife's eyebrows and blind to the yin and yang weirdness, just fulfilling the midwife's wish.

It's so gracious that you are still sending a scapegoat to the door. The midwife thought.

So, a few children who were obviously older were excluded, and a family was finally identified.

"Fourth, for the sake of our village, I'm sorry. The village chief said to a swarthy man.

The man's eyes were anxious, obviously unwilling. His name is Chen Laosi, also known as Chen Laoshi, according to his seniority, the village chief is his second uncle. But the second uncle is only the second uncle after all, and he is a brother, and the relationship will be shallow in the next generation. Especially this honest and sophisticated, although everyone is honest and upright, everyone is tired of him, but he has not left any favors, and no one is willing to help him speak.

His eyes were layered with bags like the Gobi carved by a wind knife in the desert. An honest man for a lifetime, leaving only a good name. But who made our daughter small. Chen Laosi didn't say much, and let out a deep "um", which was considered to be an admit.

Everyone also breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, it was Chen Laosi's turn, if it was someone else, such as that leper Chen, I am afraid it would not be so easy to solve.

"Fourth, then work hard for you, and bring your child tomorrow. By the way, did you choose a name for the little one?" the village chief asked deliberately, and suddenly said that the child he had never met was a little smaller. Although having a name or not being named cannot be used as a basis for the date of birth of a child, a child who has not yet been named always makes people feel that they have not been born soon.

"Take it, it's called Qianxi. Xiao Yun also gave her a word, but unfortunately I don't have much culture, I heard it many times, but I still can't remember it. Chen Laosi said with a gloomy expression. 's own children, who can't call their fathers, are going to be sent to the bear's mouth, who can be willing to do it?

Hearing the name "Xiao Yun", everyone's expressions were a little abnormal, and the village chief also asked worriedly: "Chang Xiaoyun, ...... Can you agree?"

Thinking of this, Chen Laosi was also a little hesitant, Chang Xiaoyun was his daughter-in-law. Although he is a man, no one in the village knows that the head of his family is still the foreign daughter-in-law Chang Xiaoyun.

This Chang Xiaoyun was originally a young lady from a famous family, dignified and beautiful, and knowledgeable. Originally, with her appearance, there should be a story of a talented and beautiful woman. But in the end, she got rid of this mountain farmer, and the old man Chang was so angry that he expelled her from the house and swore not to recognize her.

The people in the village are envious of Chen Laosi's good fortune, this big fool who was often bullied and laughed when he was young, actually begged a beautiful wife like a flower and jade, and he was obedient to him, which was really jealous.

However, Chen Laosi is honest outside, and even more honest at home. I'm afraid that my wife's reputation is louder than his name.

So I knew that Chang Xiaoyun's newborn baby daughter was going to die, not only did no one pity her, but she also wanted to see his family's jokes.

After all, this is a corner made of the best jade, and everyone wants to dig it.

"Xiao Yun, she ...... Will understand. Chen Laosi looked at the smile that couldn't be hidden in the playful eyes around him, and his heart was a little chilly.

When I returned home dejected, I saw that the thatched hut was still lit in the wind and rain. Chen Laosi's heart was warm and cold, and he didn't know how to face it.

The door was pushed open in the sound of "squeak", Chang Xiaoyun saw that her man was back, put down the embroidery in her hand, poured a bowl of hot water from the stove, brought it to Chen Laosi, and said, "You were bullied again, right?"

Chen Laosi smiled bitterly and said, "Xiao Yun...... I...... I can't stand you. ”

After speaking, he knelt down with a "poof" and kowtowed to Chang Xiaoyun three times.

Chang Xiaoyun didn't stop him, just put down the tea bowl, held Chen Laosi's face with both hands, as calm as ever, and said indifferently: "I guessed the result when you went, with your temperament, there are difficulties in the village, who else can you be unlucky?"

"I couldn't keep Qianxi, I didn't use ......"

Chang Xiaoyun sighed and said, "It's useful or not, is that up to you?" Everyone is your father, brother and elder, and there are rules in the village, so we have to follow them." I only hate them for not being reasonable, listening to the nonsense of the devil, and I don't know how many people's children will suffer in the future. ”

"Xiao Yun, what should I do?"

Chang Xiaoyun didn't answer, got up and walked to the inner room, and took out a small child. The child was wrapped in a delicate swaddle that was not as good as the people of the village could afford to use. It was changed by Xiao Yun with the phoenix cloak secretly sent by her mother when she married into the Chen family.

She hugged the child in front of Chen Laosi, and said with a loving face: "Look, how cute our children are." ”

A shallow smile appeared on the child's face in his sleep, and his cheeks were slightly red, which had departed from the withered and hungry appearance of the newborn, and was the most lovely.

Chen Laosi smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, it's like you." ”

"That is, if it's like you, I'm afraid I won't be able to get married. ”

Chen Laosi said cooperatively: "I often hear my aunt in the village say that my daughter looks like her father. ”

Hearing this, Chang Xiaoyun's expression suddenly darkened, and she said with some resentment: "Fourth brother, Xiao Yun's belly is not angry, and she couldn't add you a son." ”

Chen Laosi wanted to comfort her, and said without hesitation: "Even if I really give birth to a son, I'm afraid I'm going to die." ”

After saying this, the two of them said no more until the wick burned out, and the darkness invaded with silence, extinguishing the light.

In another room, Chen Qianqing, the eldest daughter of Chen Lao, who was four or eight years old, was in tears and couldn't sleep for a long time.

There are not many men with foreign surnames in Chenjia Village, most of them are here, they can't share the fields, they have no baggage, and they can leave if they want to.

Therefore, the bear king sacrificed, and it was not their turn - they were not responsible for Chenjia Village.

Fu father and son are one of them.

"Brother Hong Lei, my sister is going to be eaten by King Bear......"

A sturdy little boy is easily pushing a boulder forward, followed by a crying little girl, very cute.

That boulder was the size of a cottage, at least seven or eight hundred or nearly a thousand catties, and the little boy pushed it effortlessly, and his strength could be seen.

"What is the Bear King, is it delicious?" the little boy asked with a smirk and turning his head.

"Don't push it!" The little girl was Chen Qianqing, the eldest daughter of Chen Laosi, who was following behind this strange boy at this time, seeing his indifferent appearance, she was angry in her heart, and kicked him in the ass, "Don't you know King Bear?"

The little boy shook his head: "I don't know." All I know is that I haven't pushed the rock back when the sun has climbed overhead, and I won't have anything to eat at noon today. ”

"Brother Hong Lei, are you stupid?" the little girl said angrily.

This little boy named Hong Lei, whose full name is Fu Honglei, is as angry as a torrent and as powerful as thunder.

He smiled at Chen Qianqing honestly and said, "Yes, people in the village say that I am stupid like your father." ”

Chen Qianqing was speechless when she heard this, and then said: "You are not stupid, you are fine!

Fu Honglei smiled and didn't speak, and continued to push his big stone.

"Brother Hong Lei, please save my sister. It's a big deal, you saved her, and I will be your daughter-in-law in the future. The little girl said with a sincere face.

Fu Honglei asked while pushing: "What can you do as a daughter-in-law?"

Chen Qianqing thought about it for a long time and didn't figure it out, being his daughter-in-law, eating his family's food, and being too lazy to do housework, it seemed that it really didn't do him any good.

She has only seen her parents in her little head, and her father smiles at her mother every day, doing rough work, planting and pouring night pots, anyway, the work she doesn't want to do is done by her father.

But my mother clearly told me that she made a promise to repay her father back then.

She was a little confused, she didn't want to understand it, and said to Fu Honglei: "Anyway, you saved my sister, I will give you everything, and I will definitely give you the greatest share next time I pick the fruit." ”

Fu Honglei scratched his head and said, "But I don't like to eat fruit, I like to eat meat." ”

Chen Qianqing kicked Fu Honglei on the ass again, and said loudly: "Can you save it or not!"

Fu Honglei patted the footprints on his buttocks and said calmly: "Help." ”

Chen Qianqing was happy, kicked him again, and then said, "I know that you are the best!"

Fu Honglei giggled and didn't speak, the weather was getting colder, but he was sweating profusely.

"Brother Hong Lei, why are you pushing this stone?"

"My dad said that the kitchen knife at home was blunt, so I asked me to find a stone and go back to sharpen the knife. ”
