"Little uncle, why are you so stupid?"
Lin Gen was woken up by Ying'er's call, and he smiled: "Just bring it up, I see how anxious you are."
After getting the ball up, he watched Ying'er and her friends cheering and walking not far away to play. Lin Gen sat back on the wooden bench again, squinting, thinking about what just happened, but when he was interrupted, he suddenly suddenly
Some of the ideas that come up are like a rope that has been broken into two parts and cannot be connected again.
He sighed, stopped thinking about it, and closed his eyes to rest.
On this day, Lin Gen was still sitting quietly and basking in the sunshine. The only difference was that there was no Ying'er playing with her friends behind him.
In the distance, a few fluttering butterflies were flying along an unknown flower. His mother and pregnant sister Lin Qingrong came back from a distance holding the dried mink skins in their arms. These wild mink skins are in this place where wild beasts are haunted all year round.
The land in the mountains was a lowly commodity. It was the result of his father's hunting in the mountains last winter. The economic value was not high, but for a small family like Lin Gen, they naturally refused to abandon it. When the two girls saw it, they were sitting there.
Lin Gen on the bench looked at each other with worried expressions on their faces.
"Mother, sister." Lin Gen called out. Facing the two people he was dearest to and cared about most in the world, Lin Gen felt very warm.
"Lin Gen, be more open-minded. Those gossips are just the talk of three aunts and six grandma. Don't take it to heart." Sister Lin Qingrong comforted her softly.
"Isn't it just that you can't pass the warrior seal? There will be another chance at the Dragon Sacrifice Ceremony three months later. As long as you cherish it, you have rich testing experience, and you will definitely be able to pass." Lin Gen's mother was also filled with heartache, Lin Gen was her only one.
Although her son had saved his life, he was so depressed and confused, which made her, a mother in her late 50s, feel the pain of being cut into flesh.
"My brother is definitely not a creature in the pool! No one else believes it, but my sister does!" His sister said firmly.
Lin Gen didn't know whether he didn't want to bring up this topic or was in a resisting mood, so he just nodded.
"Well, the days are still long. The first five verifications have failed, and there is only one last chance left. My brother, you are not strong-willed at the moment, and your body has been severely damaged. Let's give up temporarily and postpone the chance until the first day of the new year next year.
Let’s fight.” Lin Qingrong sighed slightly inwardly, fearing that it would offend Lin Gen’s self-esteem, so her tone felt a little guilty.
Warriors are the name for those with strong military skills in this continent. Throughout the continent, humans occupy prosperous cities, counties, plains, and rivers, while some desolate mountains, lakes and seas are occupied by wild beasts and insects. Ferocious animals
Beasts and insects are the innate enemies of mankind. As mankind struggles to survive from generation to generation, martial arts practice has gradually become one of the foundations of this world.
The so-called warrior seal is a rule that has been popular in some places since ancient times. Qiligou is located on the edge of Manghu Mountain, where a large number of wild beasts and monsters appear all year round. The village rules passed down for hundreds of years read: To protect the safety of the village is
The responsibility of every clan member.
Becoming a warrior and learning martial arts is, firstly, to protect your homeland; secondly, it is to be able to go into the mountains to hunt wild beasts in exchange for living expenses. If you are not a warrior, it is impossible for the hunting team in the village to let you join.
If you go into the mountains by yourself, the joke is that if you bump into a striped tiger, you may become its prey.
Every male in Qiligou must take the assessment every time he reaches the age of twelve. Each man has six opportunities in his life. After passing the warrior seal, he will officially become a warrior. After a special medicinal bath, his body will be greatly strengthened and he will be able to learn martial arts. For this reason,
Therefore, only warriors can join the village's hunting team and enter Humang Mountain to hunt. In other words, they are qualified to take on the responsibility of supporting their families.
In this mountainous area where competition is everywhere, a young man from a family with superb martial arts skills will not only be proud of himself, but will not dare to offend the villagers. He will also be favored by the girl's family. A powerful and promising martial artist will often have a lot of people before he reaches adulthood.
They are watching eagerly, ready to pay a generous dowry, and snatch the husband at any time.
It can be said that becoming a warrior is not only a proof of ability, but also a capital of glory.
On the contrary, once you fail to participate six times, not only will your family never be able to hold their head high in the village, but they will also be ruthlessly expelled by the village and will not be allowed to stay anymore.
Because every village doesn’t like losers, doesn’t like to be embarrassed, and doesn’t like to support losers.
Warrior certification is not difficult. Most people can usually pass the test after taking it two or three times. But those with better qualifications can pass it successfully in one try. If you fail six times, it means you are a loser, and you will be allowed to do so.
Wouldn't this insult the reputation of the village?
The warrior sealing ceremony was originally held once a year, but because this year we encountered the Dragon Festival Ceremony that happens only once in ten years, it was added once more.
Of course, the Dragon Sacrifice Ceremony is a grand ancient festival that has been passed down for nearly a thousand years. In addition to increasing the certification of warriors and adding atmosphere, there must be other exciting programs. But Lin Gen is not even qualified to be a warrior, so he is destined to be excluded.
It has nothing to do with him.
"I'm fine, I just want to bask in the sunshine. The Warrior Certification is not in a hurry. Whether to participate or not will be decided after watching the situation for a while." Lin Gen said.
After seeing him for more than two months, the mother and daughter finally faced the topic of "warrior certification" head-on, and they were naturally overjoyed. This showed that Lin Gen's psychological shadow was slowly fading away. They seemed to see the old man hitting the wall again and again.
, Lin Gen faced difficulties time and time again.
"Gen'er, what do you want to eat? Mom will cook it for you tonight." His mother asked happily: "Just make your favorite sauce to dip the meat in, okay..." "Mom, my brother is in good health.
I can't eat these. I just make mushroom and egg drop soup. My brother used to like what I made." "Yes, yes, and mutton skewers and meatballs..."
Seeing his mother and sister looking so happy, Lin Gen hesitated for a moment and then smiled: "Thank you, mother and eldest sister."
The two happily went back to the house to get busy. Lin Gen sighed slightly. This warrior seal was a minor thing in his heart and he didn't care about it. But in the mountains and countryside, in the eyes of his parents and sister, it was the foundation for settling down. It seemed that he
In order to live up to their expectations, you should work hard for them. Lin Gen, Lin Gen, it’s time to start a new life.
His eyes stared blankly into the distance again. Others looked at him as if he was stupid. Some naughty children even laughed at him as a fool when they passed by. But he didn't care about the opinions of outsiders, because he was letting himself feel confused.
He regained his composure and slowly accepted the world, Lin Gen's body and bloodline.
But soon, he saw two more streaks of bright red nosebleeds running down his nose.
During dinner in the evening, his mother would put vegetables in his bowl from time to time, as if he had just come back from a distant place.
