Chapter 68 The sudden roar of the beast
First update!
————
"Quickly enter the village..."
The old village head almost roared and pulled Tianming into the village. After that, the children outside the village who were still playing and the adults who were working ran into the village one after another. However, seeing this scene, the children's faces were full of puzzlement, and the adults' faces were more inexplicable sadness than fear.
The dullness of the old village head is just a matter. When many adults gathered around him, he regained his calm again. However, the current old village head's face is no longer the usual amiable, but killing, throwing away the wooden stick in his hand and holding a firewood knife in his hand. At this time, the old village Where there is no weakness, he is simply a strong man of old age.
Looking at the surrounding young man, the old man's eyes narrowed slightly, and then suddenly opened, and a burst out. He pointed to a strong man with a beard standing in front of him and shouted, "Tabu, you go and organize all the men over 14 years old. Everyone takes a weapon and don't care about the fence. Organize the defense around our ancestral hall, do you hear it clearly?"
"Yes!" The bearded man replied loudly, and then raised the pitted machete in his hand and shouted to the young people and teenagers gathered in the distance, "Don't be in a daze. Take your weapons and gather in the ancestral hall!" Dozens of teenagers and young people suddenly agreed, trotted to their homes to find weapons, and then gathered to the position of the ancestral hall. Everyone's face did not have the excitement of young people when they saw the bustle. On the contrary, it was heavy and abnormal, which happened to young people who already belonged to the village. Today's such thing is as early as their expectation, but even if they are prepared, not everyone can be so calm.
The old village head no longer cares about the bearded man Tabu, but turned his eyes to a white middle-aged man and sighed. However, he still issued an order: "Bai Sheng, you take a group of people from the Presbyterian Church and gather all the old and weak women and children in the village to the ancestral hall!"
"Yes!" The white man named Bai Sheng was about to turn around to organize people, but the old village head said, "Slow!"
Bai Sheng turned around and looked at the old village head strangely. The old village head closed his eyes slowly and trembled, turned his eyes to the distant mountains, and said in a trembling voice, "Focus all those children under the age of 15 and the quick-moving old people to the retreat after the ancestral hall!"
"Village head!" The surrounding crowd shouted in a hurry, and everyone's faces were anxious and unbelievable.
Bai Sheng also turned pale and said loudly, "Village head, it's not like that, is it?" Our village has survived dozens of times!"
"This time it's different!" The old village head shook his head, waved his hand and said tiredly, "This time, it's different. What just came from the forest is the sound of the flying demon tiger. The year before last, our son once hunted and killed several tigers while hunting. This time, the flying demon tiger is here to revenge!"
Hearing the old village head's words, the people around him turned pale and their timid bodies trembled. Bai Sheng was a little bold and asked in a low voice, "So, should I arrange a few more guards in them? After all, only children who have not fully grown up and experienced old people can't be guaranteed to be If we survive in this wilderness, if there are a few good guards, we can at least ensure that our inheritance will continue!"
"Okay, you can arrange it!" The village head said tiredly, "You are still thoughtful. Why don't you take those children and the elderly to rest in the retreat!"
"How can that be?" Bai Sheng firmly refused, but when the old village head heard this, he snorted coldly. He stared at Bai Sheng and said loudly, "Bai Sheng, you have to figure out what kind of crisis the current situation is. What we need to ensure is that those children will definitely survive, not the safety of us old guys!"
Looking at the old man's sad look, a trace of shame flashed in Bai Sheng's eyes. He punched the old village head and the people around him and strode to the tallest house in the center of the village, which was the most solemn and sacred place in the village - the ancestral hall.
The old man stared at Bai Sheng running away before slowly asking others, "Has all the grain in the village been properly settled?"
"The village head rest assured that it has been arranged, and the adults and children who are hiding in the retreat have also distributed food, which can ensure their survival for at least half a month. As for the storage location of grain in the village, Elder Bai Sheng also knows that as long as we survive this disaster, naturally nothing will happen..."
"If we can't stand it, at least the inheritance of our Biluo Department has not been broken. We old guys have gone underground, at least we have the face to face those ancestors!" As the old village head sighed, he walked quickly to the ancestral hall with others.
Tianming was also brought into the ancestral hall at the beginning. Looking at the tall house in front of him, Tianming entered here for the first time. From the adults in the small village, they said that this is the most solemn and sacred place in the village. If these children dare to run into the ancestral hall at will, they will definitely be caught, and When punishing, they will also involve their elders. Therefore, all the children walk here for the first time, and everyone opens their eyes wide and looks carefully at the house in front of them.
This is a house made of huge cyan stones. Looking at the material of the stone, it is clearly the same as the blue stone under the buttocks when Tianming goes to sit alone on Jiguanling every day. However, there are only hundreds of people in the village. How can they complete such a huge project? Tianming was puzzled about this.
After all, looking at the huge stone accumulation of the house in front of us, which is 30 feet long and more than ten feet wide, hundreds of people walk into it, but still make it look empty. Tianming curiously looks at the decorations inside. Unlike what he imagined, there are no so-called good things in the ancestral hall. There are huge bluestone reliefs. When other children are held in their arms by their parents and grandparents, Tianming naturally has no one to take care of him at this special time. Perhaps she can see Tianming's loneliness. The short and fat aunt Wang, who called Tianming to eat, pulls Tianming in her direction. A few steps closer, he smiled gently and said, "Tianming, don't be afraid, everyone is together!"
Tianming nodded gratefully. After all, in the whole village, the best for him is Aunt Wang and the old village head just now, and Aunt Wang is now holding a child only a few months old, who is Aunt Wang's grandson, and Aunt Wang's son and daughter-in-law are naturally watching Wang in those defensive crowd. Aunt's worried eyes comforted like a little master Tianming, "Aunuch Wang, don't worry. Brother Wang's skills are the best in the village. Besides, Sister-in-law Wang is also a good hand, and even those beasts are not afraid, not to mention now?"
Aunt Wang didn't say a word, gently stroked Tianming's little head with her hand, forced a smile, pulled out a smile at the corners of her mouth, and whispered, "Tianming, this time, it seems different! Moreover, I'm afraid that those monsters will come to attack the village this time!"
"Monster!" This is the second time Tianming heard the name of the monster. Thinking of Tian Rao, who died when he heard the name of the monster for the first time, and the ice arrow of the small blue rabbit, Tianming's heart couldn't help but have an ominous feeling.
Age Wang looked worriedly at her son holding a rough weapon and guarding the only door of the ancestral hall, and her daughter-in-law who was tearing the cloth bag not far behind her son. Her eyes were not only afraid, but also despair of life, and all the adults in the ancestral hall seemed to know something. Everyone looked heavy, but they didn't say a word.
Tianming did not disturb Aunt Wang, but slowly squeezed forward through the cracks in the crowd and arrived near the stone wall of the ancestral hall. With the pine torch lit on the wall, he carefully observed the relief on the blue stone above the stone wall, and his eyes were full of surprise.
On the relief closest to the dawn, a fox is carved, but the purple fox actually has a horn on its head, and there is a silky electric light flash on the white horn. Although it does not seem to be as powerful as lightning on a thunderstorm day, it cooperates with the feet of the fox suspended in the air. Those bodies are all like coke, which is really appalling!
The relief on the wall is not very lifelike. On the contrary, it may be the level of the sculptor at the beginning, or the erosion of the years. The relief on the wall now looks a little gorgeous, but this does not affect the bloody smell at all. Fortunately, Tianming has also seen himself. A child whose playmate died under the mouth of a seemingly harmless blue rabbit, and he usually likes to be alone and think. Therefore, when he saw such a bloody relief, he was not afraid, but instead thought about whether the purple one-horned fox, that is, the "monster" that adults say, is not good?
Then, the second relief, the third relief...
The cyan stones slowly looked over, and there were at least a dozen reliefs in the morning. The most common people above are not those monsters, but ordinary people like Tianming. They either cultivate in the fields, hunt in the mountains, or raise domesticated wild animals at home. In short, what those ordinary mortals do is the same as what the villagers in the Blue House usually do. , all for that ordinary survival, simple living.
However, there are also many monsters of different shapes. Some Tianming is as if they know each other, and some Tianming is unheard of. However, the same point is that the monsters are flying in the air on the relief, and at the feet of those monsters, there are many dead ordinary people.
Just as thoughts kept rising in Tianming's heart, the roar of beasts sounded one after another from the distant forest. At the same time, a man squeezed to Tianming's side, patted his head and shouted:
"Kid, what are you doing? Don't be in a daze, come with me!"
Tianming turned his head and saw that it was Bai Sheng, the most silent elder in the village!
