Chapter 42 Sadness
At the martial arts training ground at the entrance of the village, the sky has darkened at this time, as if it has been covered with a black curtain of sand, dark and gray!
At this moment, the mood of the villagers standing on the martial arts ground was also gloomy! Xia lay in the arms of a short-haired middle-aged man with a sad face, his shoulders trembling and sobbing, looking at his son's body lying quietly.
On the ground, the bitten limbs were also recovered by the hunting team, but the pale wounds and the teeth marks when they were torn apart by the green wolf were clearly visible. [ ]
"Yong'er, Yong'er..." Mr. Xia's eyes were dull and dull, and she murmured to herself, which made the villagers next to her feel sour. They couldn't help but turn around and secretly wipe their hands.
Tears!
"Mom, I have joined the hunting brigade in our village!"
"Mom, I will definitely become the best hunter and hunt many prey for our village and our family."
"Mom, when I change these furs, I will buy you the most beautiful dress."
Xia's mind kept recalling every detail of her son's past, and her son's hearty voice seemed to linger in her ears just like yesterday. But now, it was the white-haired man giving the black-haired man, Xia
I couldn't help feeling sad, hugging my husband tightly and crying loudly.
Other villagers in the village also sobbed in grief, calling for their dead son from time to time. An atmosphere of sadness and despair enveloped the entire Huangfengling Village.
Qin Mo looked at the sad tribesmen silently at this time, holding his hands tightly. This is life, a cruel and ruthless life. The entire peripheral villages of the Monster Forest are fighting with their lives for life all the time!
"In order for my people to survive better, I must practice harder and become stronger. Only by constantly becoming stronger can I protect the people around me! Only the strong can survive in this bloody forest.
, a better survival." Qin Mo's eyes became more and more determined in his sadness.

Qin's ancestral hall, because they live at the bottom, don't pay much attention to their daily lives, and naturally there are no class distinctions. Therefore, if nothing big happens, family meetings are rarely held here. But today, here
But it was filled with members of the Qin clan.
Qin Zhen, the previous patriarch of the Qin clan, was sitting at the head of the hall with a solemn expression, while below the hall knelt a slightly haggard middle-aged man, whose face was as resolute as a knife but full of self-blame.
"Qin Ming, as the acting chief of our Qin clan, although you are only the acting chief, your contribution to the clan in the past few years is obvious to all."
"Besides, this time is not entirely your fault, so why do you have to resign from the position of clan leader and hunting captain? I believe that no one blames you. Get up! Stop kneeling." Lao Yi sat under the hall.
The elders and the clan members standing next to him also nodded.
"Yes, clan leader, we don't blame you. Going into the mountains is inherently dangerous. If our son died for our clan, it was a worthy death." A middle-aged man with short hair advised, it was Qin Mingyong's father Qin Wu.
"Fifth brother, I'm sorry for you. If Mingyong hadn't sacrificed his life for us, he wouldn't have died at the claws of the wolves. I failed to protect Mingyong. Fifth sister-in-law, you can beat or scold you, but
You must take care of yourself." Qin Ming looked at Qin Wu and the sad Xia family and bowed down.
"Patriarch, even though I am a daughter-in-law, I can still tell right from wrong. Yong'er's death has nothing to do with you. Besides, I feel very proud and proud to have such a son." Fifth Sister-in-law Xia wiped her head.
With tears in the corners of his eyes, Qin Wu hurriedly stepped forward to stop Qin Ming from bowing, and kept saying
"I can't do it, I can't do it, patriarch!"
At this moment, a little boy walked in slowly, supporting a white-haired old man. The old man's crutches fell on the wooden board on the ground from time to time, "cluck", "cluck"... very
Rhythmically passed into the main room.
"Grandpa Huang San, why are you here?" Qin Zhen, who was sitting at the head of the hall, saw the old man coming in. He quickly stood up from his chair and hurried to greet him. He took Huang from the little boy's hand.
The third master respectfully helped the old man to the chair next to him and sat down.
"Quickly prepare a cup of tea for Mr. Huang San." Qin Zhen also stood up and went to greet him.
"Little Zhenzi, stop working so hard. I'm here today because I have something to say to you. After I finish speaking, I'm going to leave!"
"Yes, please tell me, we are listening!" Qin Zhen stood aside respectfully, waiting quietly for Mr. Huang San's lecture.
Looking at the trembling old man in front of him, Qin Zhen respected him from the bottom of his heart. He remembered that when he was young, the Qin family fled to Huangfengling to escape the pursuit of their enemies. At that time, the Qin family had nothing in Huangfengling.
With the help of the two families, they gradually overcame the difficulties and took root deeply in Huangfengling.
The three families of Huang, Qin and Lin were like one family in Huangfengling. And at that time, it was this old man with gray hair and a cane who, as the patriarch of the Huang clan and the captain of the village's hunting brigade, led the villagers
The hunting team was roaming in the mountains and forests. I don’t know how many times I saved my life from the mouths of vicious beasts!
Mr. Huang San's wrinkled face and deep-set eyes had become cloudy due to the erosion of time. Looking at Qin Ming who was kneeling on the ground, he slowly said:
"Little Qin family, the old man has also heard about you. Although the old man is not a member of your Qin family, there are some things that the old man still wants to tell you. I think back then, your Qin family was originally a few people.
A large family of a thousand people was slaughtered by their enemies, but when they fled to Huangfengling, there were only about 800 people left, most of whom were old, weak, women and children.
At that time, your clan leader, Brother Qin Tianhong, refused to shed a drop of tears, kept his spine straight, and supported the entire family. He took root here. This also made your Qin clan gradually prosper. Now,
You, the Qin clan, now have more than 2,000 clan members, so you are finally relieved! Think about it, the losses you suffered this time in the mountains and forests are nothing compared to those 80 years ago? But now you are
Kneeling on the ground? Why? Ha?".
After taking a breath, Mr. Huang San turned his head and looked at the endless mountains outside the hall, a flash of memory flashed through his cloudy and yellow eyes!
"Back then, I also took warriors from the Huang, Qin, and Lin families into the mountains for hunting. We also encountered ferocious wolves in the mountains. The entire hunting group consisted of sixty-eight people. A total of sixty-eight people.
, there are only eighteen who can escape!" Speaking of this, Huang Sanye coughed violently and became even more excited!
"Don't get too excited, take care of your health!" Qin Zhen on the side kept helping Mr. Huang calm down and hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
At this time, everyone held their breath and listened to Huang Sanye's words.
"Out of the sixty-eight people in the entire hunting group, only seven of the twenty from your Qin clan escaped back, and only six out of the twenty-four from the Lin clan escaped back, while those from my Huang clan who entered the mountain
Only five of the twenty-four people escaped. At that time, I was also very sad and felt that I had wronged the people of the Huang, Qin and Lin tribes, especially your Qin family. It turned out that there were not many young people left.
Thirteen more clan members were lost, but Brother Qin Tianhong didn’t say a word at that time. He patted me on the shoulder and said thank you, saying that without our Huang clan, the Qin clan would not have been able to escape even one person!
Brother Lin Xin, the clan leader of the Lin family, did not mean to blame at all, but it was their tolerance that made me feel ashamed. For this reason, like you, I also asked to resign from the position of clan leader and hunting brigade captain, and Brother Qin Tianhong
At that time, he rushed over and slapped me.
"Men, you have to be brave and get up from where you fell. Now that you have resigned from the position of hunting captain, do you think you can feel at ease? Where are the families of the dead brothers? What will you do in the future? What if you commit suicide?
If you feel guilty and sorry for your dead brother, then cheer up, keep getting stronger, and then take good care of your dead brother's family. That is your best atonement!", and I am also in Brother Qin's.
After this slap, he woke up and returned to the hunting group again. Can you understand?" Mr. Huang San wiped the wet corners of his eyes and walked out of his memories.
Qin Ming lowered his head in shame, then raised his head again, looking at the clansmen around him who were looking at him with burning eyes. There was only concern in their eyes, without the slightest hint of blame. When he saw Old Master Huang San, he choked up and said:
"I understand, Third Master!"
Mr. Huang San smiled happily, and the wrinkles on his cheeks suddenly smoothed out a lot.
"Get up. The sacrifice of the clan members cannot be in vain. You don't need me to teach you how to deal with the aftermath!"
"Yes, I know what to do!" Qin Ming stood up, bowed deeply to his clansmen again, and then led the deceased family members out of the hall. Only Mr. Huang San, Qin Zhen and that one were left.
Three little boys!
"Little Zhenzi, after the Chinese New Year, I have to leave Huangfenglingluo with my old bones!" Mr. Huang's tone was full of nostalgia.
"Third Old Master, what are you???" Qin Zhen stared at the skinny old man sitting on the chair in shock. He was about to say something but was interrupted by the Third Old Master.
"I can't bear to part with it, but I have to leave even if I don't want to. I think back when our Huang family, Lin family and your Qin family were together, the entire Huangfengling was our world, so majestic and majestic, even the Zhuangzi around us were afraid of us. 1
Years ago, the Lin family moved out and returned to their extended family in Dongzhou. Our Huang family also moved to Beiwu City, the capital of Beizhou, and reluctantly settled down there.
Until now, we are the only ones left who are reluctant to leave. However, recently, that boy Huang Lin has been thinking about us old bones, and sends people to urge us every day, and he must take us out alive or dead. Forget it, forget it.
, Anyway, those old immortals from the Lin family have left, and I have nothing to worry about. From now on, you and the Qin family will be the only ones left in Huangfengling." The third old man said with his trembling, thin and bone-like expression.
