Chapter 10: What the Husband Does
"I can't go!" Long Yun said in a decisive voice.
After hearing this, Long Gang said directly: "But this is the only way to save your grandmother." ”
Hearing this, Long Yun was shocked, his attitude changed greatly, and he asked, "Uncle Gang, I heard you right, right? You just said that this is the only way to protect my grandmother?"
"Yes, this is the only way to save your grandmother, and whether you succeed depends on whether you can be qualified as an orc hunter. Long Gang replied.
"What do you mean by that?" Long Yun asked urgently.
Long Gang said: "Although there is a tradition in the village that the oldest old man will be sacrificed to protect the rest of the village, there is also a tradition in the village, which is to give preferential treatment to the families of orc hunters. ”
Long Yun was very curious when he heard this, and then asked, "Why haven't I heard of it before?"
Long Gang replied, "After all, I am the only orc hunter in the village now, and my parents are long gone, so no one in the village talks about this now." ”
"Then why is there such a tradition? And my grandmother is so stubborn, I am afraid that she will not accept this tradition, and I have to follow her. Long Yun said.
"As an orc hunter, their duty is to protect the village, and they give everything for the peace of the village. If they don't even have this kind of preferential treatment, then they can only protect their own families and not care about the safety of the whole village. So this tradition is accepted by everyone in the village, including your grandmother. Long Gang said.
Long Yun thought for a while, felt that it made sense, and then asked: "But even if you are admitted to the orc hunter qualification, it will take several years of study to become a real orc hunter, I am afraid that grandma will not be able to wait for that time!"
"Don't worry about this, yesterday I discussed it with the village chief, and we agreed that as long as you are admitted to the orc hunter qualification this time, our entire village will protect your grandmother for the rest of your life, after all, no one in the village has been admitted to the orc hunter for too many years, I can't support it alone, we need someone to stand up too much." ”
"If this can really save grandma, I'll try it anyway, but, Uncle Gang, do you think I can really do it?" Long Yun doubted himself.
Long Gang looked at Long Yun at this time and said sincerely: "Although it was a fluke that you killed that strange beast yesterday, but seeing that your skills are really good, the most important thing is that you can be calm in front of that giant beast alone, do not take a step back, and behave very well, in fact, sometimes the strange beast is not so terrible, but the fear of many people defeated themselves first, yesterday I saw the shadow of your father from you, so I am optimistic about you." ”
Hearing Long Gang's words, Long Yun secretly made up his mind in his heart, and said firmly: "Then I'll go." ”
"I'm naturally very happy that you agree to go, but Long Yun, I want to make it clear to you. The orc hunter qualification exam is not child's play, if you don't get it right, your life may be in danger, and you need to go through very brutal training to become a full-time orc hunter in the end, and many people die there. Are you still willing to go?" Long Gang said solemnly.
"Of course, as long as I can keep my grandmother, I am willing to go through any danger, even if it is a sea of swords and fires, I will never give up. Long Yun said righteously.
"Well, I really didn't misread you. The selection of orcs hunters will start in two months, and we still have more than a month to prepare, during this time, I will conduct special training for you, and I hope you can live up to expectations. After speaking, Long Gang patted Long Yun on the shoulder.
"I'm definitely going to get in. Long Yun assured.
"Okay, then you can come here again tomorrow to find me. After saying that, Long Gang went to get the arrows on the target. Long Yun also wanted to see if his grandmother had woken up, so he was ready to go home.
As soon as he arrived home, Long Yao heard Long Yun's footsteps and shouted happily: "Brother, brother, grandma wake up, come here." ”
Long Yun immediately walked to the back room and saw Long Yao sitting in front of his grandmother's bed, while his grandmother turned her head on the bed but deliberately didn't look at him.
Seeing this, Long Yun took the initiative to apologize: "Grandma, are you still angry? I was too impulsive yesterday, I can't accompany you, you can dissipate your anger." ”
"Whose grandma are you called? Didn't you say yesterday, don't recognize me as a grandma. Anyway, I can't control you, so you can do whatever you like in the future. His grandmother was still angry.
"Grandma, don't be angry with me, it's not good for your health. Long Yun continued to apologize, but his grandmother ignored him.
Seeing the situation, Long Yun had no choice but to change the topic and said, "I went to see Uncle Gang today. ”
This trick really worked, and the curious grandmother forgot that she was still in the cold war, and hurriedly asked, "What are you going to do to see him?"
"Uncle Gang asked me to take the orc hunting test. Long Yun said.
"Do you agree?" asked Grandma.
"Agreed. Long Yun said.
"Long Gang, Long Gang, you are going to push my son into the fire pit! Yun'er, listen to grandma again, you can't go. Long Yun's grandmother said with concern.
"Why, grandma, why can't you go. Uncle Gang said that according to the tradition of the village, as long as I am admitted to the orc hunter qualification, I can save your life. Long Yun said suspiciously.
"That being said, the orcs themselves are too dangerous, and fighting those beasts all day long will inevitably lead to accidents. Back then, your father had to go, I just hated that I didn't stop him at the beginning, but he died young, let me send a white-haired person to a black-haired person, I can't let this happen to you anymore. ”
Long Yun's grandmother touched the tears in the corners of her eyes and said: "I am old and frail now, even if I can keep me safe and sound, I am afraid that I will not live for a few years, why take the lives of your young people for me." Yun'er, listen to grandma's advice, don't go. ”
"Grandma, you know, I have already decided on this matter, and you can't persuade me. You and my mother taught me from a young age that a big husband should do something and not do something. But now it tells me to go against my heart, and I know that I can do it but I don't do it, I can't do it. Long Yun said calmly.
"Hey, okay, I know I can't persuade you, your temper is the same as your father's. If you can really become an orc hunter in the future, it will be considered the blessing of the whole village, and I will not stop you, so you can go if you like. Although she said this, Long Yun's grandmother still didn't lose her breath, turned sideways and stopped paying attention to Long Yun.
Long Yun saw that his grandmother ignored him again, so he had to leave the room in a daze, he was walking in the living room thinking about the orc, and his eyes swept to the broken sword that was thrown in the corner.
With great interest, he walked over and picked up the sword, went to the courtyard and sharpened it, and while grinding it, he still chanted the words: "Broken sword, broken sword, fortunately I picked you up, otherwise you would have buried it in that cave for hundreds of thousands of years......;
Although Long Yun kept shouting "Broken Sword" in his mouth, he was still very grateful for this sword in his heart.
He understood that although he had killed the beast by luck yesterday, if he didn't have this sword, what would he use to stab the beast's head!
