Chapter Eight Be a Man, Be Self-improvement
At night.
A bonfire lit in the valley field in the village.
All the young and old in the village have arrived, the elderly, young and strong, women and scholars, and children.
There were dozens of iron pots beside the fire, and all kinds of jerky were cooked inside.
The young and strong were drinking wine in big mouthfuls, and the children secretly took jerky from the iron pot to eat. The women took good wine and jerky from their homes from time to time and ate them together among the people in the village. The elderly smoked dry tobacco and joked from time to time,,,,,
Everything is so harmonious and beautiful.
There was only one child who looked at the laughter of everyone but stopped talking.
He didn't dare to say some words, let alone break the laughter at this moment.
Today, everyone walked in front of the gate of hell, and their laughter only suppressed the fear and powerlessness that had survived the disaster. If they hadn't cut the black golden bear on their own today, there would probably be no ten people who could survive in the village.
Just as Dahu was stunned, a rough big hand pressed on Dahu's shoulder. The village chief sat beside Dahu and handed a piece of jerky in his hand to Dahu: "Child, you might be leaving."
Dahu couldn't help but be stunned: "Village Chief, what do you mean?"
"Child, how long have you been in the village?"
"Three years and nine months." Dahu smiled softly: "When I first came here, I was only a little over four years old. Thanks to the village chief and his uncles and aunts taking care of me, I can live until now."
The village chief waved his hand: "Child, since you were brought here by someone, I knew that you and the white-haired man were not ordinary people. Over the past three years, life in Bianhuang has become more and more difficult. Many people from nearby villages have left Bianhuang. You should go out and take a walk to see the vast world outside."
"Why didn't the village chief leave?"
The village chief couldn't help but smile bitterly: "We are old, we are just ordinary people. This is our root, so I can't bear to leave it."
The big tiger chewed the jerky bite and stared at the village chief's eyes: "The village chief is afraid."
The village chief dodged his eyes, but smiled and said, "What am I afraid of?"
The tiger pointed to the mountain, and a trace of sophistication that was not commensurate with age flashed in his eyes: "In the past two years, most of the villages moved here have made a living by hunting. I'm afraid that life in the border areas is getting more and more difficult, and those villages that make a living by hunting are difficult to survive. The black golden bear is a kind of beast that lives in the deep mountains all year round. This time, I'm afraid something happened in the deep mountains."
A trace of shock flashed in the village chief's eyes, and his eyes fell on the crowd of laughing by the bonfire.
These people are just a group of ordinary families and will not think of more things.
"Report to the official." Dahu smiled softly: "Although this is a border desertion, it is also under the jurisdiction of Qingning County. The government collects money and grain every year. Now at this time, as a commoner, you can seek help from the government."
The village chief just sighed but didn't speak.
In the village chief's eyes, he was at a loss.
"The government doesn't care?" Dahu was just a child after all, and anger immediately appeared on his face.
"It's not that I don't care, and I don't dare to report to the official at all." The village chief shook his head: "After reporting to the official, the government will naturally send troops to come. It is impossible to let them go into the mountains to kill the ferocious beasts. Those strong soldiers and strong soldiers are naturally going to provide their money and food expenses, allowing those strong soldiers to act as a blessing. If there is really a ferocious beast attack, they may be able to help. If there is a strong soldier accident, the village will take responsibility. But if the ferocious beasts don't come for a long time, who can guarantee that those strong soldiers will not cause trouble?"
A trace of pain flashed in the village chief's eyes: "Last year, even Shi Village, thirty miles away, had encountered similar things. Just because of the ferocious beast's future, a soldier raped and killed a girl. The people in the village sued the government, but in the end it was just left alone."
A look of disbelief flashed across the big tiger's big eyes.
He never thought that the world was so dark.
Whether it is the book left by Master Dahu or the teachings of the elderly in the village have never been mentioned in this regard.
"Will you never come back if you leave here?" Dahu asked a little inquiry.
The village chief's eyes were even more bitter: "Where we can go there again, we can guarantee that the outside world will be better? Without this place, we are a group of refugees without roots. When we go to other places, we are a group of refugees without household registration. The government will make us unable to even enter the city, let alone care about our lives or death. Those villages that left were almost all dead outside. Staying here, we still have a glimmer of hope for life. After leaving here, we can't even see any hope."
Tears were left in the eyes of Dahu.
Listening to the village chief, he finally understood why the white-haired uncle had left blood and tears at the young age.
Why does that uncle often murmur to himself: "This world of eating people."
The sun rises in the early morning.
Dahu touched his dizzy head and pushed open the door of the thatched hut.
However, the scene at the door made Dahu stunned.
The young and strong in the village were holding guns and knives. The children held wooden sticks and guns, and each looked at the big tiger with eager eyes. The village chief stood in front of everyone, with a strong sense of pleading in his eyes.
"Big Tiger."
"Brother Big Tiger."
The voices of young and strong and children rang one after another, and everyone's voice was filled with eager desire.
The big tiger smiled bitterly.
After last night's carnival, everyone saw the bloody scene of the big tiger slashing the black golden bear like a barbarian god. Everyone was eager to become someone like themselves.
"Big Hu, they want to make themselves stronger." The village chief chuckled: "Everyone hopes that you can teach them, they just want to make themselves not that weak."
The big tiger smiled bitterly and finally nodded.
The village chief still did not tell the villagers the truth.
He just ignited the villagers' desire for power, hoping that everyone would have more power to protect themselves.
But the village chief made a decision.
‘To be a human being, you should be self-reliant.’
The sun is hanging high at noon.
The wild sunshine scattered between heaven and earth, and the cicadas were chirping endlessly, as if telling the dull heat between the air.
A group of young and strong bulls waving their spears in their hands clumsily at the entrance of the empty village. The children also waved their wooden spears in their hands in a very good manner. The big tiger carried their hands like a little adult, shaking their heads at everyone present, and everything seemed so inferior.
Whether young or strong or children in the field, everyone's clothes were soaked.
However, everyone's eyes were filled with perseverance, even a few two or three-year-old children in the field were no exception.
Some villagers looked at the group of men and children at the entrance of the village, and many people looked unbearable. However, the village chief coughed a few times, stopping some women who were about to step forward.
Dahu was walking around the field in a very good manner, and from time to time he guided the movements of everyone in the field.
"The scorching sun is in the sky, and when the day is full of energy. We are all ordinary people. Although we cannot eat the clouds and qi like the legendary ones, it is also of great benefit to everyone to cultivate their bodies under the scorching sun." Dahu said in a very good manner, with a childish voice in his tone: "As long as everyone practices like this every day, over time, they will eliminate impurities in their bodies, make their bodies more flexible, and their strength will gradually increase."
While speaking, Dahu strode to the stone mill at the entrance of the village, and grabbed the millstone far exceeding his body with both hands. With a sudden shout, his hands actually lifted the millstone weighing thousands of pounds high.
The big tiger held the millstone as if nothing had happened: "As long as everyone works hard to cultivate their bodies, the legendary moving mountains and seas is definitely not impossible." As he spoke, the big tiger threw the millstone into the sky, and the huge millstone flew several feet high and smashed it straight towards the big tiger.
"Be careful." Everyone present couldn't help but lose their voices.
Dahu's face remained unchanged. Seeing that the millstone was about to hit, he suddenly soared into the sky. He waved his tender right hand and punched the millstone that was whistling down.
'boom'.
A thunderous roar suddenly came from the air, and the huge millstone split into pieces and gravels flew around.
The big tiger suddenly fell to the ground, but behind it was a pile of gravel,,,,,
Everyone couldn't help but stumble at the big tiger, and everyone had incredible eyes on their faces.
A bright color flashed in the village chief's eyes, and his expression flowed in his eyes, but he didn't say anything again.
The women looked at their husbands and children, and the unbearable look in their eyes was gradually replaced by the eager look.
