Cannibalism

Eldest brother Xie Lin made a swing for his younger siblings so that they could play when they were bored, but Xie Sheng was too young to sit up alone, so Xie Gan took the swing alone.

Xie Nan accompanied Xie Gan to swing leisurely on the swing, while the elder brothers sat here to watch Xie Sheng.Xie Sheng, who was born less than two months ago, has already become the object of amusement for all the brothers. There are always a few hours every day when the brothers will take Xie Sheng out of the bamboo basket and tell him what they have learned that day. It doesn't matter if he understands or not.

The father and mother who have been abroad have not yet returned home, and the children of the Xie family are helpless on Tianyan Mountain. They can only rely on their own abilities to unite and grit their teeth to tide over the difficulties.

In the days when they were gritting their teeth and united as one, this innocent and cute younger brother who could only crawl but not walk was almost their only joy.

"Big brother and third brother, tell me, when will Xie Sheng transform into a human form?" Xie Ya, the sixth child, said on the forehead of Xie Sheng who was sleeping soundly, "Xie Gan has already changed, and she accompanied her sister to the foot of Kongwang Mountain The medicine is taken."

Ninth brother Xie Xuan said: "Xie Gan can only walk when he is four years old. I saw the tiger on the next mountain, but he can follow his mother in the mountains after a few months."

"We are demons, how can they compare with us?" Third brother Xie Li took a branch and knocked Xie Xuan on the head, "The tigers on the mountain next door have only mothers and never have fathers. Father never cares about them. "

"What the third brother said is true." Xie Xuan said angrily, "I just don't understand why the Yaozu grows so slowly."

Xie Li said: "But we live for a long time, don't we. The tigers on the next mountain can be replaced by several batches in a hundred years. The tigers on Tianyan Mountain are only our Xie family. Maybe in another 1000 years, there will be no owner of Tianyan Mountain. Variety."

The four elder brothers surrounded Xie Sheng in the center and looked at him.Xie Sheng was sleeping soundly curled up in a bamboo basket.He is wrapped in a layer of downy and soft tiger fur, and the word "king" on his head is still unclear.Not only does it look non-aggressive, but it's also extremely cute.

After a while, Xie Sheng woke up.

After waking up, he looked around at his brothers in a daze, and started to cry loudly.

Xie Nan, who was pushing the swing for his younger sister, quickly looked in Xie Sheng's direction.

The female wolf under the tree heard his cries, trotted to Xie Sheng's side, lay down on the ground to nurse him.

As soon as Xie Sheng drank the milk, he stopped crying, closed his eyes and snuggled into the arms of the she-wolf.

"This female wolf has no child, and it regards Xie Sheng as its own baby." Xie Li stroked the soft fur on Xie Sheng's body, "Xie Sheng is really blessed."

Xie Sheng twisted his body and turned his white belly out, wanting his brother to touch his belly.

"Look at Nan Nan's absent-minded look." Xie Ya pointed to the swing, "He wanted to see Xie Sheng, but he didn't dare to come over, so he could only watch helplessly from there. He heard from the third brother that he was afraid of the swing. She-wolf, isn't she?"

"Yes, hahaha." Speaking of this, Xie Li wanted to laugh, "When have you ever seen tigers afraid of wolves? Anyway, this is the first time I have seen them."

Xie Nan supported the swing, looking over with a pair of dark eyes.At this moment, the rope hanging from the swing hit him in the face like a blind eye.He took a step back with an "ah", and stumbled again when he was stumbled by a small stone behind him.Instantly, a red rope mark appeared on the fair little face.

Hearing the sound, the female wolf stood up alertly and stared at Xie Nan firmly.

Xie Nan was whimpering in pain, but when he noticed the gaze of the female wolf, he was completely speechless.He closed his mouth, not daring to act rashly, and stiffened his body, for fear that the she-wolf would pounce on him and bite him.

Seeing Xie Nan's big eyes filled with tears, the eldest brother Xie Lin couldn't help laughing, he stepped forward and hugged Xie Gan on the swing with one hand, and held Xie Nan with the other: "Hahaha, our younger brother is really timid. Don't cry, don't cry, let my brother come and see, did the swing hurt you?"

As soon as the elder brother comforted him, Xie Nan was no longer afraid of the she-wolf, and he burst into tears with confidence: "It hurts, woo-woo-wah..."

"Big brother and third brother, tell me, our tenth brother is so timid, will there be a girl who will marry him in the future?" Xie Ya helped wipe the tears from Xie Nan's face, "Not only are we afraid of wolves and bears, but even little mice are afraid of it." I was terrified to death. Last time I saw my tenth brother was so frightened by the rats in the kitchen that his legs went limp, and he fell on the ground and refused to get up. He insisted on being hugged by his parents, he was so ashamed to death."

Hearing his brother's "mocking", Xie Nan cried even more fiercely, with snot and tears all over his face, he cried to Xie Lin, "Wooooow! Big Brother, Sixth Brother, he bullied me! Woooooo!... "

"It's alright, alright. Sixth brother, don't say a few words." Xie Lin squatted down and helped Xie Nan blow his nose, "Our Nan Nan is not timid at all. Even if you are timid, it doesn't matter if you marry a wife or not. From now on, Nan Nan will spend time with our elder brothers on Tianyan Mountain!"

Xie Ya snorted and said, "At that time, parents are afraid that they will die of worry."

Xie Nan likes his elder brother Xie Lin the most, Xie Lin comforted him a few words, and he burst into tears.After wiping his face clean, he wanted to touch Xie Sheng again, but was too scared by the she-wolf on Xie Sheng's body to approach him, so he had to turn to the other side of his elder brother Xie Lin and tease his younger sister Xie Gan.

A few months later, his parents returned from the catastrophe and brought them a lot of food. Xie Nan's first "self-reliance" experience in his life came to an end.But at this time, the mother's milk had stopped, and Xie Sheng's food could not be exchanged for tiger milk.

After many years, Xie Nan finally grew up to the same age as a human man with curly hair.During this period, the older sisters were all married, and Tianyan Mountain seemed to be the world of the brothers.

Xie Sheng is lively and active, he never wants to stay on the mountain honestly, he goes down the mountain before dawn every day, and returns home covered in dirt and grass clippings at night.In the past few days, Xie Sheng has become more naughty, always clamoring to go to the beach to catch some small shrimps and cats, and every night when he comes home, there will be a layer of wet mud sticking to his fur, making it everywhere in the room.

Xie Nan, who was running after Xie Sheng, complained to the eldest brother standing in the middle of the yard: "Xie Sheng always gets dirty from playing, but he doesn't like to take a bath. He will only take a bath if I push him into the tub. Every day It took an hour to catch him and take a bath, and it exhausted me."

"Recently, the Tianfu has another demon army coming to invade, trying to rob me of the fertile land in the East China Sea. If we can't get away to deal with this matter, we will share the troublesome things like catching your brother to take a bath for you."

When they were not monsters, they were the kings of beasts in the mountains. After becoming monsters, they still have supreme authority.Therefore, the burden of leading the East Sea Monster Clan to resist foreign enemies this time fell on Tian Yanshan.Every day, the four of them leave early and return late with their parents, in order to discuss counterattacks with the surrounding monster clans.

Xie Nan didn't understand killing on the battlefield, he just found it a novelty.He stopped and threw himself in front of Xie Lin: "Brother, take me to have a look tomorrow too, okay?"

"Not good. You are still young." Xie Lin patted his forehead, seeing that there was still hope in his eyes, he quickly bent down, and made a gesture of showing his teeth and claws, "Did you know that Tianfu also sent a Team mouse spirit."

"Ah..." Xie Nan was really frightened, and took a step back while covering her head.Now he is only half a head behind Xie Rin in height, yet he is still so afraid of mice, it's really funny to watch.

The monster tribe outside the mountain always said that the son of the Xie family was timid and fearful, not like a man from the tiger tribe, but like a mountain deer cast in the wrong fetus, who would run away when he saw anyone.

Looking at it now, Xie Nan's courage is exactly as described in the rumors outside the mountain.

Xie Sheng suddenly poked his head out from the back of the chair. The wet sand had already dried on his head, leaving only two bright eyes: "Brother Ten! Why don't you chase me anymore? I haven't had enough of it yet."

Before Xie Nan recovered, he swallowed his saliva: "I, that... Big brother, I'm going to grab my younger brother to take a bath."

Xie Lin smiled and waved to him: "Go quickly."

A few days later, Xie Sheng ran back from the mountain with a head of green grass on his head.Xie Nan woke up from a nap, Xie Sheng rarely returned home during the day.Out of the habit of taking Xie Sheng to take a bath, he looked at Xie Sheng a few more times.

Xie Nan boasted: "Brother, you are really clean today."

"I ran around the seaside for a while today, and accidentally caught the elder octopus." Xie Sheng was sullen, his ears drooping: "I was catching a little octopus, but it ran away."

"Didn't you like to catch cats before? My sister likes to catch butterflies recently. Why did you catch octopuses again?" Xie Nan felt that the green on Xie Sheng's head was too eye-catching, so he couldn't help asking, "You wear a What are you wearing?"

"On the head?" Xie Sheng raised his head, wiped it with his paw, and the green fell to the ground.He took a closer look, smiled and said, "That's it! Little octopus!"

The green oil fell to the ground, and immediately stretched out its paws and ran, shouting: "Help! Help!"

Xie Sheng stretched out his paws to slap them, but this "little octopus" dodged and escaped.It bounced and ran down the mountain, Xie Sheng followed and disappeared.

Xie Nan was far away, so he couldn't see what the green color looked like. Since Xie Sheng said it was an octopus, it must be an octopus.But it was the first time he had seen a dark green octopus.

"It's not good! It's not good!" A goat demon in armor ran over panting, "Xie Nan! Your parents and brothers were all ambushed, and now we have rescued the two victims of Tianyan Mountain Seriously injured Patriarch, but, your brothers..."

Xie Nan was shocked: "How are my brothers?!"

"Everyone's life or death is uncertain, but, but there is still a glimmer of life. Follow us to pick up your parents at the foot of the mountain!"

Xie Nan responded: "Okay! I'll go right away."

The goat demon cursed: "Shameless, those stinky monsters from Tianfu have turned against the human race in the East China Sea, slandering our demon race and wanting to embezzle their land. I really didn't expect that we fell into the trap set by the fellow villagers. Humans really don’t have a single good thing!”

Xie Nan hurried down the mountain and saw his dying parents. He couldn't help but think of the picture of his brothers dying bloody and bloody.

He falteringly shouted: "Father, mother!"

Then sat on the ground and cried bitterly.

……

Speaking of this, Xie Nan suddenly stopped talking.With a look of hesitation, he raised his head and took a sip of tea.

"What happened later?" Yuan Shijin didn't like hearing it, "I once heard Xie Sheng say that four of his elder brothers died fighting to protect the way of heaven. I don't know if it was because of this battle against foreign enemies..."

"Not all. In this war, my eldest brother and third brother died. Two elder brothers survived by chance." Xie Nan lowered his brows, "But after many years, sixth brother also died, and after that, nine Brother also went. They all gave their lives for the prosperity of the family and the order of heaven. So, I became the biggest male in Tianyanshan's generation."

"You Xie's Tiger Clan is strong, and you are a role model for many Monster Clans."

"Where. It's all thanks to my brothers and parents." Xie Nan raised the corners of his lips mockingly, "I'm far behind."

Tobishiren heard from him that as long as his parents were away when he was young, his brothers and sisters had nothing to rely on.It seems to be somewhat inconsistent with the current situation.

So he asked suspiciously: "I see that there are still some old people on Tianyan Mountain. Were they not there at that time?"

Xie Nan nodded: "After Tianyan Mountain grew stronger, some side branches came to join us. Although those old men are our elders, they can't interfere with the urgent affairs of the clan."

Yuan Shiren suddenly realized: "No wonder that girl named Xie Ru, who has the same surname as you, can marry you. I thought you were close relatives."

"Huh? Marry me? Don't listen to Xie Sheng's nonsense." Xie Nan said in a low voice, "I have already decided not to marry a wife."

Yuan Shiren twirled the porcelain cup for drinking tea with his fingers: "Your deceased sixth brother joked that you were timid and afraid that you would not be able to marry a wife, but now you are completely different from when you were young, how can you not marry?"

Xie Nan stroked the square bun on his head and laughed.

"If I get married, I may no longer care about family matters. My brothers are all dead, so I have to take on this important task." Xie Nan stood up holding the coat she was wearing, and turned her back.

He stretched nonchalantly: "Oh, it's time for me to go back and rest. Flora, see you tomorrow."
