Chapter 3 Insight
If Harder had made it to the west of the village earlier, he might have seen the ragged dust in front of the wooden fence that sealed Orion's house. But he was stopped on www.biquge.info the road by a rich peasant boy named Feng Manyun, who cut a pine branch into the shape of a knife and begged him to teach him a few tricks to face dragons.
Hader had to choose a demonstration that he thought was more beautiful to show Manyun among the most basic moves in the sword, and said some painless things such as "The most important thing in the face of dragons is momentum" and "The secret of the sword is light footsteps".
Unwilling to let any of the children in the village become hunters, Harder worked hard in this capacity for more than twenty years, knowing that his greatest weapon to return to the village alive was luck, not any skill that could be learned.
After such a delay, it was already evening when he came to the door of Feng Chen's house, and Feng Chen had already reprimanded his father for a while.
Feng taught his son one characteristic year by year, he was reluctant to use words like "little rabbit cub". He has been a hunter for half his life, and he has caught all the animals that can be found in this cedar forest, such as rabbits and wild boars, which are stupid and stupid in his opinion, and he is afraid that he will be affected by scolding, and the "fox cub" has no momentum, so he has to abandon the animal part of this sentence, and the sentence "little cub" is also full of momentum.
A tanned cooked deerskin is far inferior to the ready-to-wear garments made in the workshops in the city, and even a few dozen catties of venison are not enough. What's more, this kid doesn't know how to make it bad, and he cuts his back and ass all over the big and small gaps, not to mention a big hole a few inches long on his arm.
Although it is a combination of father and mother, he will only have some means of sewing and mending the leather clothes used for hunting, and such delicate clothes have passed through his hands, and the result may be better than letting Feng Chen wear a beggar costume to participate in the return sacrifice.
"Where's going to the water?" Daddy looked at the empty belly of the dead deer on the ground and asked angrily.
"I've sacrificed the god of hunting." The dust was slurking.
"This little cub, if you don't learn well, I remember this very clearly." He was so angry and wanted to laugh, and Feng Chen's head had to be hit a few more times.
At this point, Feng Chen began to be unconvinced: "My prey is prepared for the return sacrifice, how can I do it if I don't worship the hunting god?" If you are like you, you will fill up those hooves and bones to the hunting god, and be careful that you eat diarrhea in the water. As he spoke, he raised his head and rolled his father's eyes with bright eyes.
Harder stood in the doorway for a moment, unsure whether to enter or not, and chuckled when he heard the little one's retort of the matter-in-person assault. With this smile, the father and son looked at the door, and the half-hidden wooden door revealed a small half of the figure.
"Uncle Hard!" Feng Chen put away his aggrieved expression, shouted crisply, and opened the door courteously.
"Yo, the people from the city are here. Hurry in, please come in, please come in. He hesitated in his heart, it was a little embarrassing to be bumped into by outsiders who beat and scolded the child, and it was even more embarrassing for him to hear the child teach Lao Tzu in turn, and now explained, "I was playing with the child just now, and I didn't see the hero coming to the door." ”
"Brother Feng has a strict family education." Harder nodded, Dust's father is already a Ben Wu person, and the hunter should treat himself as a younger brother in front of him. The two adults didn't say what they said beforehand, but they made a haha, and the scene just now was revealed, and the rest of the dust touched the beaten head and pouted.
The two pushed for a while, but the guest didn't sit down, he just thought about Feng Chen's coming over to take a look, and brought the gifts distributed to the children by the way.
Seeing the shiny stone, Feng Dad felt that it was not an extraordinary product, and he prevaricated a few times, and then said: "The little cub also prepared a gift for the hero, and he went to shoot a deer early in the morning, and was about to let me deal with it and send it to the festival." ”
Harder was dumbfounded, still with a polite and grateful smile on his face.
"Little cub, don't be stunned here, the two rabbits in the firewood room will clean up and send them to Aunt Xiaoyun's house next door, and tell her to make more snacks and send them to the festival."
…………
Coming out of Aunt Xiaoyun's house, Feng Chen did not go home, but returned to the landing pad with Uncle Hard. The landing pad is in the north of the village, which is also the highest place in the village. Most of the cargo on the airship had been unloaded, and only a few helpers were tending to the boxes and counting them, while the boatmen were overhauling the cabins. The two of them sat on the bow of the airship, and the dust looked through the amber oval crystal at the busy people not far away.
Harder watched him silently. At this time, Feng Chen had changed into the leather coarse clothes he wore on weekdays, and a short dozen was more energetic than the redundant clothes. Compared to two and a half years ago, the baby fat on his cheeks had faded, and the rim of his face was wider and straighter than his father's. Looking at the gradual shedding of the childish dust, Hard's face showed a complicated expression.
Feng Chen had inadvertently saved his own life, and he had inadvertently told him that the Orion's trick had helped him survive a near-death crisis. He didn't tell Feng Chen about this, for Feng Chen, whose greatest adventure was to hunt wild boars in the forest, the war between those tragic hunters and monsters was too far away. He would rather put gratitude in the back of his heart than let him be exposed to these cruel predators.
But even without the fact that he had inadvertently saved his own life, Harder still liked this kid, he was like an elf deer in the woods, he had a natural spirituality. Every time he returns to the village, he has to accompany this little lucky star, which is not only to relieve the pressure of a long and high-intensity hunting trip, but also to remind himself to cherish the hard-won ordinary life.
"What kind of stone is this? It's so beautiful. He shone the egg-sized crystals at the sun, which became less dazzling.
"It's not a stone, it's the canine teeth of the Ice Tooth Dragon."
"Did you catch it?" The boy pointed his tooth crystal at the hunter, and Hard's face looked less square in the crystal, but rather oval, which looked a little funny.
"I'm not that powerful, I happened to find a place on the snowy mountain where the Ice Tooth Dragon changed its teeth." He explains, "Such a transparent tooth is no longer strong enough to be spherical so easily. Newly erupted teeth are opaque and contain some tooth-strengthening ingredients. ”
"Huh? Are there dragons on the snowy mountains? Feng Dust looked surprised.
Harder pointed to the guide, "It's not here, it's the snow-capped mountains at the southern tip of the continent. ”
"There are snow-capped mountains in such a warm place." Every time the hunter returned to the village, he would tell Feng Chen about the customs of the continent, and thanks to him, the child already had a minimum understanding of the entire new continent.
"As long as the mountains are high enough, snow-capped mountains can appear anywhere, but the snow-capped mountains in the south are taller than this big snow-capped mountain." "From the mountains, the sky was pure blue and the air was thin, but there were some interesting monsters living on it," he recalled. He patted the back of Feng Chen's head, "Do you want to see it?" ”
