Chiwuxing

Chapter [-] - Blowing Xun, Playing Chi, Disordered Strings, Disappointment, Acacia Quenching Acacia

At noon, the sun hangs high above the sky in Hudi, which is cold and warm.

All the ministries dispatched manpower to count the number of prey.The Hubu athletes who came back sat on the ground, devouring the food and wine provided to replenish their physical strength.According to the original rules, the fruits of their hunting should be grilled and shared at the bonfire banquet at night.For the wild hunting at the end of the year, the mountains have been closed for hunting in March, so the Hu people are all excited and have achieved a lot of victories.

Huxun stayed away from the place where the crowd gathered, and sat alone on the side of the hunting ground, thinking silently.Hearing the crowd's exclamation from time to time, he also raised his eyes to see the situation inside.

Those who responded in the crowd turned their heads, and the young man nodded towards him from a distance, his complexion was pale, and his white hair was sparse.

The woman breathed a sigh of relief and turned her head slightly.

Squeezing two people out of the crowd of barbarians on the field, Bowa took Muzhige to find an open space, and asked him in a low voice: "How did you do it... Among the seven tribes who came back this time, the You have too many Tienalites."

"How did I know," Muzhige frowned, "This time even the people to be sent were selected by Mu Zang himself. I fought for several days but was not selected. Who knows what went wrong."

"Could it be that you haven't hunted in the mountains for such a long time, and your skills are unfamiliar..."

"What are you talking about!" Muzhige scolded, "I think maybe the people from your royal department did something when they checked the report."

Bois shook his head: "How dare they do this kind of thing in public, not to mention that all the ministries have sent people to supervise, how could they have the time to do tricks..."

The two were arguing, and then two more people came together and said, "What are you two talking about sneaking around here!"

Bowa turned his head and said with a smile, "The two elder brothers are here..."

The faces of those who came were all unhappy.Munetu was silent, but Munessai on the side ignored him, and only said coldly to Muzhige: "Why are you running here? I told you that you are fine and don't fool around with people from the royal department..."

Muzhige wanted to defend Bowa: "He's okay...he just came to tell me some news..."

"Oh," Munessy approached and said in a low voice, "Then tell me, what letter did you send?"

Bowa and Murige looked at each other, and took the initiative to say something flattering: "I just saw the achievements of the Tie Nale Department. They are top-notch among all the departments. Congratulations to the two brothers."

Munetu didn't want to pay attention to his compliment, and Munetu suddenly sneered and said, "It's not comparable to the warriors from the royal family, who know how to compete for food in other people's mouths."

Muzhige heard that there was something inside, and asked with staring eyes: "What do you mean by this, those Yan people really played tricks on it?"

Munetu sneered again, obviously unwilling to explain too much.Muzhige had no choice but to ask the barbarian with long eyebrows beside him: "...Munessai?"

The person who was called was impatient, and breathed out a big breath: "The Yan people rode behind us on horseback from the very beginning, turning bows into crossbows, and snatched the prey we were targeting in front of our eyes. Such a big Shantou, I don't believe they can't find the place, if it's not targeting, I can't think of any other reason."

Bowa raised his eyebrows, and Muzhige said in surprise: "They dare to do this...you all hold back?"

This is not your usual temperament... Muzhige muttered in his heart.

"After all, it was the wild hunting competition that Mu Zang had instructed thousands of times before his departure. We didn't dare to delay the time. Who knows if this is a trick of those Yan people who intend to deliberately hold me back, and they will take the opportunity to win. "Mu Nei track, "We questioned him after we came back just now, and Mu Zang came over and stopped him... Today is different from the past, and there is no confidence in beating people."

He lowered his voice, and turned to Bowa and said, "Your boy has nothing to do with us in private, and Princess Xi didn't notice at all?"

"I know, so they are a little alienated from me." Bois opened his eyes and said innocently, "Didn't it be agreed before that I could be transferred to your place, and now there is no news..."

Munessai had no choice but to say, "If Muzang stops us, we can't make the decision..."

Munetu squinted at Bowa, and said: "Now you have a good home. Isn't it a pleasure to eat and drink with the royal family? Why do you have to suffer with us outside? Maybe something unexpected will happen someday."

Bois shook his head: "But the princesses all know that I have contacts with you, and they don't want to give me more if they have good things... Originally, I was not valued in the royal family because of my poor physique. They didn't ask me to participate in the military battle, so what can I do? I thought Brother Muzang was different from them, he wouldn't use his body size to take someone by force..."

This statement, on the contrary, aroused the contempt that these three people had always harbored in their hearts.Winning by force, survival of the fittest is the Hu people's customary belief, it doesn't matter which tribe they are in.It's just that the current situation is different and there is a shortage of troops everywhere, so I don't care as much as before.But in their hearts, they still look down on such incompetent people.

"Mu Zang didn't underestimate you, he just cared about the thoughts of the wolf lord and Princess Yu, so he didn't dare to act recklessly. After all, when he left with the Hulan tribe, he felt ashamed in his heart. It is inevitable that others will also be so blatantly demanding. Come up with any ideas," Muzhige smoothed things over, and said, "It's okay as it is now, since you can secretly pass on the news to us, we will benefit in the future, and we will definitely not forget you."

Bowa bowed his head: "Then I would like to thank a few brothers."

After this party finished talking, the results of the battle were also settled on the side of the hunting ground.

Fu Chen and the others had previously been at war with the Hulan tribe who had fled from the Hu tribe, and now all parties were focused on this extremely difficult show.As soon as the news that the king's department had captured the most prey came out, all the barbarians turned their eyes to the place where the first leaders of the various tribes were sitting.

Huxun remained motionless, and the rest of them were all different.

After the king's department are the Tie Nale department and the Qubu department, and this time Hulan directly fell out of the top three, ranking fifth.

As soon as the news came out, Podoro Santo jumped up in shock, it was difficult for him to be at ease, and he had to force a grin on his face.

"Princess! I have to report something to you, and ask the Royal Ministry to give me an explanation!"

"Leader, please tell me."

"Jia Sheng and his men took advantage of the opportunity of hunting in the mountains to beat our tribe and broke the Doroda Gate. When he came down the mountain just now, he personally identified it, and the brothers from other tribes were all witnesses."

He Xuyun looked at the person at the end of the crowd and said, "Jia Sheng, tell me."

Fu Chen clasped his fists and said, "Jia has doubts about the result of the hunting."

Santo feared that the Yan people would beat around the bush again to evade the question, and cursed, "You answer my question first!"

"Leader, don't worry, I will explain to you what happened," He Xujun raised his arm to stop him, and said to Fu Chen, "What doubts do you have?"

"According to the standard for this hunting, Qubu should be ahead of Tienal."

Mu Zang, who was originally sitting beside him, raised his eyes when he heard the words.

"...Oh?" Huxun glanced around, beckoning him to continue.

Fu Chen lowered his eyebrows lightly: "Just now when the prey was being cleared, Jia saw that the Tienal tribe was better than the Qubu tribe with a hare, but in fact, Jia met the leader of the Kampot in the mountains before, and saw that he was hunting at that time. I got a deer, but I just used it to feed the scorpions who also foraged in the forest, so I didn't count the number at the end."

He Xujun turned his head and asked Gongpo, "Dare to ask the leader if there is such a thing?"

Gonpo frowned slightly, looked at the young man in the audience, nodded and said: "...Yes."

Huxun raised his head: "Even if it's like this, it's too many to count. Presumably, Xixi also shared the prey of other families."

"Yijia's one-sided view is that the Hu and Qiang beasts are so brave, and they must also be greedy for the joy of wild hunting, and they will not casually accept this kind of food from the prey that others have killed," Fu Chen said, "and the leader of the Gonpo The reason why the deer was planned was because the leader took the initiative to feed it. The purpose was to save me and Chao Er from the attack of Xie Xi. As for why Xie Xi suddenly attacked the two of us... Santo Chief, I wonder if Damen has explained this to you?"

"You are slandering!" Santo retorted, "Why didn't you say that you beat Damen?"

"Chao Er is from my own family. If the leader doesn't believe me, you can go back and ask Damen if I'm telling the truth," Fu Chen said. "As for the fight, I did it. But I think the leader should be very clear about the reason." .”

"you!"

"Jia Sheng, speak clearly." He Xuyun said in a deep voice.

Fu Chen said: "Before going hunting in the mountains today, the leader of Santo and the Hulan tribe were arguing with us outside the hunting ground. They spoke rudely and pointed their finger at Utlong's royal family, and they were suspected of inciting a split. Furthermore, Jia When fighting with Podoradamen, he didn't intend to hurt his vital heart, but he deliberately summoned the beasts of the clan and used them as weapons to attack us. Chao Er also suffered a sprained ankle during the fight. Medium and heavy, please tell the princess clearly."

Santo stared at him bitterly, then turned to Huxun and threatened: "Princess Huan must act impartially."

He Xuyun pondered for a moment, looked sideways at Gongbu, and said, "May I ask the leader of Gongbu what he knows?"

For a moment, everyone looked at the leader of the Qubu tribe.

According to what Hu people usually see, although the Qubu tribe has a small number of people, its leader Gongbu and Congzhu are upright, courageous and loyal, so the upper and lower tribes are very united.This year, Wild Hunting has seen its performance improve by leaps and bounds, which makes people have to pay attention to its secretly improved strength, which should not be underestimated.

Fu Chen also pursed his lips and looked at the leader who was frowning and thinking, but his palms were sweating, and he said: "Jia is offended, may I intervene?"

This was said by looking at Gong Po, who still frowns deeply, and still nodded slightly in silence.

Fu Chen cupped his hands and said: "When we met in the mountain in the morning, there were Jia Mou, Chao Er and Damen on the mountain road. Not to mention that I stopped at that time, when you came up to take a closer look, leader, you also Knowing that I didn't use the blade, there were no serious injuries on his body except for the marks of fists and feet. On the contrary, after you came, Podoradamen first became angry with embarrassment. Use the clan beasts to attack the two of us. I hope you can figure out who intends to cause trouble."

"Even if the two of us are foreigners as he said, because of this, how much hatred do we have with Damen that I want to seek opportunities to assassinate them? Since being incorporated into the Xixi Cavalry Army, Jia has always regarded it as belonging to him." Heart to heart, on the contrary, some people always hold on to the distinction between inside and outside, plausible. So it should be very clear who wants to make trouble... In the middle of the chase and escape, the two of us withdrew, the leader and Damen alone In one place, although Jia didn’t know what he said, he probably couldn’t get away from what I just said.”

Santo had calmed down at this time, looking at Changzhou coldly.

He Xujun said again: "What does the leader of Gongbu think?"

"...He's right," Gonpo finally said, "There are indeed some inappropriate words in Podoradamen."

Hexun made a decision on this side: "Chief Santo, today is a good day for my Hu tribe, and I don't want to pursue those unpleasant things and make the whole tribe feel cold. It's just that if you are interested in the king's tribe, or the current If you are dissatisfied with the situation, just raise it directly, don't make some shady actions in secret, and make friends with me on the surface."

Santo gritted his teeth: "...the princess believes in that kid but not me?"

He Xujun looked up to Guangyuan in front of him: "I believe in Kampot, and what I believe in is the friendship that has grown together over the years. Leader Santo can do it for himself."

Santo was speechless, and she continued: "According to what Jia Sheng just said, does the leader of Muzang have any objections to the promotion of the Qubu tribe to No. 2 in the hunting test?"

Fu Chen also looked over, and Mu Zang calmly agreed, but the Tienal tribe standing behind him were very annoyed, almost biting their teeth, with fire smoke blowing from their eyes.

He lightly retracted his gaze, turned around secretly and retreated behind the crowd.At this time, Hu Di's original snowy fresh air was absorbed into his breath and melted back into his whole body.He stood quietly for a long time, and found Chao Er who was resting on the sidelines, and there were more than ten brothers around him, and when he saw him coming, they all made room for him.

"We won," Fu Chen approached and looked around at them, "You all have worked hard."

Everyone laughed and waved their hands.Fu Chen squatted down and said to Chao Er: "... If you have nothing to do, go back first? I don't think this is a serious injury, and after a few days of care, you can walk normally."

Chao Er showed frustration, and said, "It's really fucking useless...Did I not delay your business?"

Fu Chen poked his kneecap, and said with a slight smile: "What can you delay? They are all angry. If they are excited at will, they are like a firecracker. As for whether you make mistakes later, it's up to you." When will the injury be healed..."

"I'm leaving, where are you going?"

"Of course I will stay here," Fu Chen said, "Go back and rest first."

"Then how do we do that?" Chao Er retorted, "They are angry, and they see you alone, so they can't find anything about you? Do you still expect... No one will help you at this time, aren't you in a hurry? Hit them on the point of the knife?"

"Don't worry about it," Fu Chen frowned slightly, "I'm being modest, they don't dare to make a bloody mess today. That's why I have to go over and add more fire."

Chao Er was displeased: "You add fire to others, and you don't care what to do if you burn yourself..."

"Hey," Fu Chen was used to acting alone in the past, although he was always taken care of after having a brother, which made his heart warm, but he always hesitated like this, so it was his old style, "Don't be such a mother-in-law! I really want to do it, can you stop me?"

There was a lot of commotion between the two, and people around them also gathered together, persuading: "Why are you still arguing...it's not a big deal..."

"It's inconvenient to sit in the open air here, so please take Chao Erqian back to rest." After saying that, the young man turned around and strode away without looking back.

Chao Er stared at Qi Yuan's back and remained silent.

Someone next to him said: "... If you want me to say, Jia Sheng is right, Chao Er, you are really becoming more and more mother-in-law..."

Another person put his elbow on the man's waist and said, "I see, since it's kind, it means that Jia Sheng doesn't know what to do..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Chao Er suddenly turned his gaze towards him, and said coldly: "What do you know! Stop speaking ill of him in front of me!"

The person who answered the words was innocent, and he obviously said what he wanted, so why did he not?He argued again: "Where did I say something wrong? I didn't intend to harm him. Is it enough to care about a few words? Why did I offend him..."

Chao Er supported the tree trunk behind him and slowly raised it up. Seeing this, the people on both sides quickly raised their arms to support him.One of them offered to carry him back, but Chao Er refused, and continued to stagger forward.

He glanced at the crowd gathered in the distance, quickly withdrew his gaze, lowered his head halfway, and said in frustration:

"...You don't know, he has seen all kinds of bloody and sinister scenes, and he has long since ignored life and death. Blocking my words like that is no different from insulting him..."

The gangster who was supporting his shoulder heard the words, raised his eyebrows and slandered: You know that and persuade him like that, isn't it just to scold him...

"...But I, but I just..."

Chao Er frowned deeply, and was suddenly speechless.

The people following him didn't know Chao Er the first day, and they could see that he was upset at the moment, and they didn't say anything to disturb them.

When exerting force on his feet, the pain stretched all over his body. Chao Er was sweating on his forehead, but he still insisted on moving forward: "...you all think I'm stupid?"

The rest of the people did not answer for a long time, and Fang You said: "...I remembered that when Brother Chao left, Erlang, you were also stubborn and entangled in the night, practicing martial arts alone. We all say that your temperament has changed a lot, but actually look carefully Come, it's just a kind of forced burden and growth..."

Chao Er didn't say anything, but remembered what the young man said, and then said: "But is this a blessing or a curse..."

Everyone was silent again, Chao Er's eyelids were wet with sweat, and when it swept into his eyes, the sting was unbearable.Suddenly, someone beside me shouted:

"Brother, the person you want has arrived."

The hearing blinded by the pain all over his body became clear, and the sound of trampling horseshoes was only distinguishable from the noise of the hunting ground behind.

"Call-"

The galloping horse arrived suddenly, and the navy blue flashed, and the young man immediately stopped in front of them.

Chao Er thought that the pain had reached the point where he was in a coma and dazzled.

Fu Chen jumped off his horse and walked closer.

Chao Er stared at him with sweaty eyes, without blinking.

Fu Chen also looked at him, not knowing whether it was because of helplessness or feeling: "Wipe off your sweat, I'll carry you back."

Chao Er followed his instructions in a daze, raised his sleeves and wiped his eyes, his nose was sore, annoyed that the sweat in his eyes was getting more and more wet, and it was not clean.

"Okay," Fu Chen saw that he was about to pull out his eyeballs, grabbed his sleeve to stop him, turned his back and knelt down and said, "Come on...young master."

There was a brother beside him who couldn't help laughing out loud, Chao Er was embarrassed, and obeyed his words and fell on the ground.

Fu Chen stood up and said to the people behind him: "I'm sorry for your hard work today, you can take a good rest when you go back, there is nothing important today."

"It's not hard, it's not hard..." One person pointedly raised his head at him, and said, "You have to take care of both sides, and you have to take care of such a young master, that is the real hard work..."

"Get out!" Chao Er raised his head and reprimanded him.

The few people laughed and walked away with their shoulders crossed and their backs crossed.

Fu Chen walked back with Chao Er on his back, and he heard the people behind him muffled: "...you put me on the horse, I'll go back by myself... don't interfere with your business."

"There is only one horse here. All the barbarians who stayed outside the capital came here to participate in the grand event. When you arrive alone, there is no one there to meet you," Fu Chen said, "Lie down at ease, I just went to the princess I have confessed, I will not get involved with them hunting freely in the afternoon, and it will not hinder the overall situation. Why, riding me is not more comfortable than riding a horse?"

Chao Er's eyebrows twitched suddenly, and his cheeks immediately became as red as his eye circles.

Fu Chen originally wanted to relax, but when he said the words, he felt something was wrong, and he was also embarrassed for a moment, pursing his lips and said: "I'm talking nonsense, don't worry about it..."

The explanation became more and more embarrassing, and if you didn't care too much, you would grow an extra one. Chao Er couldn't help whispering: "...that's why you are comfortable..."

Fu Chen swears, and Chao Er laughs out loud.

The people behind laughed freely, and Fu Chen couldn't help but smiled along with his lips, and at the same time warned: "Don't use this kind of dirty talk to me in the future, do you hear me?"

"Didn't you say it first... It really is because we've been with us for a long time..." Chao Er's smile faded away, most of the gloom in his heart dissipated, and a rainbow light appeared, "I know, you are me." Big brother, big brother forever."

There were no chores in the afternoon, so Fu Chen wandered leisurely on the snowy green field with Chao Er on his back.In the distance, the sea of ​​clouds is surging, and there is no one in the open space. It really has the feeling of a fairyland where the sky and the earth are united.Then the two slowly returned to their residence in the capital, and Fu Chen brought back food and medicine stickers for them, chatting until dusk, only then did they realize that the time passed quietly, so quickly.

After entering the room, Chao Er didn't take his eyes off him throughout the afternoon, and Fu Chen also gradually became uncomfortable, and smiled at him, "You don't have a time to rest, you can't close your eyes and rest for a while." Son? Can you still spot flowers on my face..."

Chao Er raised his eyebrows.

... Really, he thought to himself, in his eyes, young people are the most proud and tough Hongmei in Lindong, lonely and outrageous, not getting along with the world... and the ones with red eyes and bloody cheeks every time they fight Gorgeous.

"Brother," Chao Er said earnestly, "Is there anything you want?...Don't make those empty words, but be practical."

Hearing this, Fu Chen turned his head and thought carefully for a while, then smiled suddenly, then turned back, and said: "...I hope that after I die, people I care about will forget about me and live a good life."

Chao Er's eyes were burning, and he looked at him for a long time, until the young man felt uncomfortable again, Fang said: "...you are lying."

Fu Chen was speechless.

"You want to live...you want to live with us, right?" Chao Er became articulate, "You have no cronies, I am your younger brother now, and San Lang will also be your younger brother when we go back. There are also brothers who are by my side Ladies, they all regard you as their own. You said that someone lied to you and harmed you in the past, and there will be no more in the future. If there is danger, I can stand in front of you—"

"Erlang," Fu Chen cut him off. What Chao Er was most afraid of was his gentle and sad eyes, he couldn't bear it, "You don't understand, I don't need you to block the knife for me. Sometimes... I also think that if I can survive, I can watch many things gradually improve and blossom. But this kind of thinking is just my cowardice for a while. If many mistakes I made are easily erased, I will lose If the original balance is lost, someone has to bear the final result, and also has to be responsible for his own blind faith..."

"It's all bullshit!" Chao Er also interrupted him, and roared, "I don't understand what you said! I just don't understand why others can live, but you can't?!"

The young man exhaled and trembled, consciously lost his composure, and turned his back.

Chao Er staggered and jumped off the bed, there was quite a commotion, Fu Chen hurriedly turned around to support him, and scolded: "...What nonsense?!"

Chao Er climbed onto his shoulders and neck, and pressed against his chest. When he got up just now, he was involved in the broken ankle and bruised blood. The pain made his forehead sweat profusely, but the strength in his hands did not loosen at all.

Fu Chen wanted to pull it back, but the person in his arms didn't move. He felt wet on his chest and collar, but he didn't know if it was sweat or tears.It stopped for a while.

"...It's not that I want to live...and I can live it," Fu Chen raised his head slightly, his eyes trembling, and he could only see the swaying cobwebs outside the curtain, "It's because I don't want to forgive myself...I dare not Greedy..."

"... It's about your words," Chao Er said hoarsely, "I'll find a way for you..."

Fu Chen bent his lips weakly: "Things that even barbarians who are proficient in poisonous gu can't cure, what can you think of..."

"Yandi is so big, there is still no cure... I don't believe it..." Chao Er hurriedly said, "As long as you don't want to die, who can tell you to die..."

Fu Chen patted him on the back, and said: "Let go...you sit down first, you don't want your legs and feet anymore, do you? You can't walk all the way, so why seek medical advice?"

"……would you like?"

"Sit down first." Fu Chen pushed Chao Er away, pushed him to the edge of the bed and sat down.Seeing Chao Er's face full of snot, sweat and tears mixed together, he knew that he must be very dirty now, and there was nothing to criticize.

Chao Er blew his nose, lowered his eyes and said, "...someone came over just now, and they are still there now, go and see who is eavesdropping."

Fu Chen was startled when he heard the words, and hurriedly got up to go out to check, but he saw a woman standing in the courtyard, approaching.

When the woman saw him suddenly appear from the house, she also showed a hint of surprise.

"Miss Na Ren," Fu Chen cleared his throat, still hoarse, "...I don't know if there is something you need to come here?"

"You..." Naren looked at him hesitantly, his clothes were disheveled, his front was half exposed, he could vaguely see a seam extending to his chest, his cheeks were also wet, his complexion was flushed, and the curls were still sticking to the corners of his eyes. Unknown... charming?

The woman's face turned red, Fu Chen followed her gaze, and suddenly realized something, and quickly turned his back to straighten his front, saying: "I'm sorry... I didn't mean to offend."

Na Ren coughed, and said: "It's nothing, I should apologize to you too. Just now I heard someone arguing in the room, so I froze here for a while, and forgot to knock on the door. I didn't intend to eavesdrop on the corner."

While talking, he couldn't help but glanced secretly at the young man, seeing this man indifferently, did he ever get into an argument with someone so red-faced and thick-necked?

Fu Chen straightened his appearance, turned around, and asked, "Young lady, what's the rush here?"

"The princess ordered me to come here," Na Ren said solemnly. "At night, we have a traditional bonfire celebration in Hudi. Today, all the wild animals hunted during the day will be shared and grilled. The princess means, You have contributed to our Royal Department today, for the sake of fairness, and to thank you for the reward, it is natural to invite you to come and participate."

"...Okay, Jia will be there on time."

"It's the beginning of the new season, and the place is still at the hunting ground at the foot of Qishan Mountain. You can pack up and go there now," Na Ren said with a smile, "every time at this time, all the girls in our Hudi are here. It's your first time to participate, I don't know It's lively, and this time I can feast my eyes."

Fu Chen twitched the corners of his lips lightly, and said, "Thank you, Princess, for your kindness."

Na Ren felt that his interest was not high, and remembering that he had just argued with someone, he stopped talking and said goodbye.

Fu Chen sent him away, and returned to the house.

Chao Er still maintained the same posture as before he left the house, he was motionless beside the bed, and only raised his head slowly when he heard him open the door.

Fu Chen took the handkerchief and stepped forward, wiping away the sweat and tears on his face.

Chao Er's eyes peeked out clearly, but there was still a little reckless childishness in the corners of his eyes.But when you focus on looking, there is still strength and heat that cannot be ignored.

"After a long day, you should lie down and have a good rest," Fu Chen said in a warm voice, "You heard what Na Ren said just now, I won't disturb you now, how about some sleep?"

It seemed that he was exhausted from crying, roaring and annoyed by all kinds of emotions just now, Chao Er didn't say a word, and lay back on the bed quietly, but his eyes were still fixed on the young man.

Fu Chen arranged his clothes in the mirror of the room, brushed his messy gray hair behind his back, and turned his head to Chao Er, "Going away?"

Chao Er lay on the bed, watching him not moving.

"Come back and bring you barbecue."

Fu Chen wanted him to calm down a bit, and without pursuing his words, he strode towards the door.

"...Brother."

There was a hoarse voice in the room, Fu Chen stopped and turned around: "...what's wrong?"

Chao Er's whole body was huddled under the quilt, with half of his head exposed, and a muffled voice came from inside the quilt: "...you had a great time."

The young man hooked his lips and smiled: "...OK."

At night, a crescent moon hangs over the dark blue sky in Hudi, and the faint light and shadow cannot match the rising fire smoke on the ground.

Fu Chen sat beside a caged bonfire, and he knew what the "lively" Naren was talking about.

Among the bright firelight, you can see the joyful smiles on the faces of all the barbarians.The smell of burnt barbecue diffused everywhere, and the coldness of winter was forced down.

The sizzling sound of sparks rustled into my ears, and the stringed drums were playing cheerfully. Some young men and women danced to the sound of the drums and chanted songs.

He didn't know those lyrics either, presumably they were old sayings of Hudi.

Fu Chen turned his gaze back to the skewer of barbecued meat in his hand. One side was cooked, so he turned it over to the other side.

On the opposite side sat a few old men who were not familiar with him, chatting with each other about trivial matters.

The fire light rubbed the flames in the youth's pupils, but it couldn't ignite no matter what.

Fu Chen recalled that once in the Hudi, he and his men once met the Hu people to worship their ancestors. At that time, looking at the lonely light and shadow from a distance, they felt that the distance was like a mountain, and there was no joy or sorrow.Now that time has passed, and I am in this situation, I don't feel any connection with the current scene.In fact, he only occupies an inch of space in this world, he speaks lightly, and it is not easy to take care of the people around him, so he should not be too greedy, and waste his time on things that do not belong to him.

"Hey, you're here."

Someone slapped him on the shoulder, Fu Chen turned his head when he heard the sound, and it turned out to be Bowa.He sat on the ground next to him with his robe lifted, with a festive smile on his face, and the whole person was beaming.

Bowa first turned his head to celebrate the festival with those Qiang elders, then turned around and said, "Why did you choose such a remote seat? I just searched for you, but I didn't see you."

"Why do you want me?"

"...Acquaintance Congratulations, this is the rule. I don't know many people well, so I think...you should be counted as one?"

Fu Chen smiled and didn't answer.

Bowa followed his eyes to look at the barbecue in his hand, and sighed: "It's so delicious... You were the one who hunted the prey of our royal family, so you should go to the chief seat."

"Actually, it's not me, it's my brothers who did a good job," Fu Chen said, "I spent a lot of time dealing with the people from the Hulan Department at the beginning, and in the end I almost delayed the business."

Bowa got closer and said in a low voice: "If you want to tell me, don't pick people from Hulan when you pick people to fight. You should pick them from Tie Nale. The people from Hulan don't need you to provoke them, just pull them out now." One of them wants to kill you, so you have to be more careful... Tie Nale's people are being held back by Mu Zang, and they don't dare to start a war openly yet."

"Thank you for your kind reminder. But the people I'm eyeing on Hulan just don't like it, I just want to beat them, I didn't think too much about it."

Fu Chen spoke frankly, Bowa was moved by his frankness, chuckled a few times, and said in a low voice: "Good job! I also wanted to hit them a long time ago, but I didn't have the opportunity, and I didn't have the ability... In the afternoon, I ran into Podoradamen by chance, it was the first time I saw him with a bruised nose and a swollen face, and it was quite enjoyable for me..."

Fu Chen glanced at him: "Tell me about you? Shouldn't you be following Tie Nale's people now? Why did you wander here looking for me?"

"They also have their own business to do," Bois said, "It's impossible for me to follow all the time. Anyway, I'm still a member of the royal family. There are so many people here, how can I be a 'traitor' and do it so ostentatiously and confidently... ..."

Fu Chen was amused by his strange appearance, and laughed twice: "Aren't you always with such a righteous appearance everywhere... He didn't choose the wrong person."

"Who are you talking about?" Bois froze for a moment, then responded, "...You mean Chasa?"

"...Hmm." Fu Chen pursed his lips and said, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Bowa smiled and said: "Chasa chose me because of a chance. Before, because I was too thin, the tribe never let me go in hunting competitions. That time I couldn't hold back my itch. I rode a horse secretly into the mountain, and met a snow wolf on the way. But according to the rules of our clan, wolves cannot be hunted, but only the clan beast Xiexi absorbs the blood of the ancestors and does not bite the local people of Hu and Qiang. The rest of the normal wolf beasts I was so hungry that I saw no reason not to eat when I saw people. Originally, I escaped secretly, if I was found and killed a wolf, it is possible to execute me in the end."

"So I had no choice but to gallop my horse down the mountain. The wolf probably looked at me as a bully, and chased after me. Finally, I saw other tribesmen, so I slowed down and didn't fear it coming. Who knew that the wolf went straight to me. Jumped over..."

"...And then?" Fu Chen asked.

Bowa smiled ashamedly and said, "There's nothing else to do. I didn't dare to hurt the wolf. I hesitated and had to pick at it. Later, Chasa shot the wolf's front leg, and I took the opportunity to escape. Wolf Lord After learning about it, I was going to punish him, but Chasa stopped me, so he called me to do these things."

"He chose you because of this?" Fu Chen was suspicious, and didn't think there was any connection between it.

"Yes, I was also very puzzled," Bois also said, "I asked Chasa privately about this matter one time later, and he said it was because of the...scrupulousness I had when I was entangled with the wolf. His calm and unyielding expression moved him. But I thought that if someone in the clan faced this situation, my reaction would be the same. I still remember that when Chasa said this, he was holding his pair of eyes. Jelly's eyes stared at me, and I didn't try to figure out the meaning of his words, except for the creepy goosebumps all over my body, now that I think about it, it's just a mistake..."

Fu Chen smiled faintly, and found that the other side of the barbecue in his hand was also cooked, so he made a gesture to take it off.

Seeing that he disassembled all the barbecue meat on the sandpaper on the ground, Bowa asked strangely, "Why...you don't want to eat this meat?"

"I'm not hungry," Fu Chen said while moving, "I brought it for my brother."

"Brother?" Bois was even more suspicious, "Didn't you say that you had no relatives when you entered Hu, why do you still have a brother... Uh, sorry, I didn't mean to offend."

"It's nothing," Fu Chen didn't care, "You know my younger brother, Chao Er, he was also there during the hunting test this morning."

"...Oh," Bowa understood, looked at the bundles of barbecues he had bundled up, and said enviously, "...if your brother still has some free barbecues to eat... then do you still need a brother? I can be counted as one what?

Fu Chen said with a smile: "If you want to eat meat, I'll roast it for you. Anyway, he doesn't miss this bite of meat. Why are you beating around the bush like this?"
