Drunken Crane Immortal

This clan meeting was noisy, and when they heard that they were going to give the child to something who didn't know whether it was a human or a demon, which family would be willing, the clan leader had no choice but to disperse the crowd and said that he would think about it again.

That's what they said, but everyone knew in their hearts that what they said was water that was thrown out, not to mention that the wizard's origin was unknown, and he was kind to them. No one knew how capable he was, and who would dare to provoke him.Now what everyone thinks in their hearts is that they just hope that the unlucky promise will not fall on themselves.

As soon as the man entered the house, he heard people chatting and laughing inside. He stretched out his hand and hung the hunting bow aside, and asked, "Yanniang, what are you talking about to the child, so happy?"

Yanniang glanced at him, asked the child to turn around, and said, "Ali, take a quick look, the new clothes you made for your son, do they look good? Xiaohua, here, let your father have a look."

This is a set of clothes suitable for hunting. It is neat and not cumbersome. The child showed it off happily and said, "Father, when can I go hunting with you?"

"Come and see what this is?" Ali didn't answer him, but he had an extra hunting bow at hand, handed it to him, and said, "I've made it for a few days, take a look, do you like it?"

Hua Zhaoshui took it over, touched it like a baby for a long time, his eyes lit up, and said, "I like it so much! Thank you dad!"

Ali patted him on the back and said, "Try it in the backyard, and tell me if it doesn't go well. Be careful."

Hua Zhaoshui let out a hey, and ran out happily.

As soon as the child went out, Ali sat next to Yanniang and said, "Do you know what the patriarch told us to go today?"

Yanniang took a few pieces of fabric, and said indifferently, "I don't know—the little flower has grown too fast recently, and the clothes will be too small in three months. Which color do you think looks better?"

Ali was really not in the mood, so he pressed her hand and said, "Let's not talk about this now. The patriarch said that he would give the child born on the seventh day of July to that strange man in the western suburbs. The man said that as long as the 17-year-old- Our little flower, isn't it just seventeen today?"

Yanniang's expression changed immediately, she threw the thing away, and said anxiously: "Why does he say he wants it, we have to give it! What kind of half-immortal is this?"

Ali signaled her to be silent, glanced outside the door, and said, "Keep your voice down. It's not the trouble with the spirit back then, the patriarch promised him, and now he comes to ask for it, what can we do?"

Tears welled up in Yanniang's eyes, and she said: "Then... it's not like our little flower is the only one in the whole family, she was born on the seventh day of the seventh month!"

"But what he wants is not only those born on the seventh day of the seventh month, but also those born at the third quarter of a child."

As soon as these words came out, Yan Niang was stunned, tears fell down in panic, and it took a long time before she could speak: "Then...they...they know that Xiaohua is..."

"I don't know yet." Ali wiped her tears and sighed, "Actually, I knew about this a long time ago. It was Mingxi who quietly changed Xiaohua's birthday for us."

The patriarch is 89 years old, and Mingxi is his third daughter, who is also in her 40s. She manages all the schools in the village.Her family also always buys some prey from Ali. Ali is the best hunter here, and she has made friends with him from time to time. She also likes this child of Ali's family very much. He is clean and obedient, so she takes more care of him.

"You knew it a long time ago? What does this mean?" Yan Niang's tears were still wet, and she was sullen for a moment.

Ali said: "Don't worry. At that time, Mingxi went to look up the family tree for the patriarch. He searched and searched. He was born on the seventh day of the seventh month, and it was three quarters. Only our child, with the patriarch's temperament, would definitely put it first. The child is taken away, and when he is 17 years old, he will be sent out immediately. So she changed the time in a hurry, and deceived the past few years. I didn't tell you at first, because I didn't want you to be scared, and I thought, as long as If you change it, you won't be approached again, but... the patriarch said today that the wizard is really psychic, and he knew that someone changed the child's birth date, I am really worried."

Yan Niang looked confused, and became at a loss again, anxiously said: "Then... what should I do then, my child has grown up with great difficulty, how can I just give it to a...something who doesn't know whether it is a human or a demon."

As she spoke, she grabbed Ali's hand and said with tears, "Then why not, let's go, go now, hide away, go now."

She said that she was about to get up immediately, Ali grabbed her, patted her on the back lightly, and said: "Don't worry, maybe there is a way, I also came back to tell you in a panic, I don't want to scare you .”

The child who was trying out the bow from outside rushed in, his voice full of excitement: "Father, this bow is so good, it fits anywhere! Hey..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw his mother wiping away tears, hurriedly stepped forward, and asked, "What's wrong? You were fine just now, why are you crying?"

Yan Niang smiled with him, touched his face, and said: "Mother is thinking, you are growing up, and the children who used to play with you have started to have families one after another, and you probably can't." Staying by Mother's side for a long time, just thinking about it makes me feel reluctant."

Hua Zhaoshui showed some doubts, and said: "Then it's fine if I don't get married. Besides, even if I go out, as long as my mother wants to see me, then I have to run back anyway."

It’s okay if he doesn’t say this, but it’s even more sad when he talks about Yanniang. Ali stood up, stood in front of her, patted Hua Zhaoshui on the shoulder, and said, “Let’s go, let me see how your archery skills are. , can the flying geese shoot down?"

Hua Zhaoshui still wanted to look back, but Ali said, "It's okay, just let her be quiet for a while."

Without waiting for him to react, Ali said again: "You can show me all the skills you have learned later. If you learn it well, I will take you hunting tomorrow."

Hua Zhaoshui said in surprise, "Really? Dad, you have to keep your word!"

"Of course it counts."

Hua Zhaoshui took aim at the target in the backyard with his bow and arrow. He was very excited when he thought that he could go hunting with his father.Ali was a little absent-minded, he said that there is still a way, but in fact, what can he do, mortals can only bully mortals, others, no matter whether he is a demon or a fairy, or even something that looks like a human but not a human, they will not be able to provoke him. get up.

Ali helped his arm, and asked casually, "Xiaohua, do you know that weird guy who lives in the western suburbs?"

Hua Zhaoshui hummed, and said: "But I don't really believe that, he was the one who helped us get rid of the spirits, maybe the heart-digging monster is him!"

While talking, the arrow in his hand pierced the wind and hit the bull's-eye.

Hua Zhaoshui cheered and said, "Father! Can I go hunting with you now!"

Ali stroked his hair approvingly, and said, "Yes, I will take you with me tomorrow."

Hua Zhaoshui was still happy, Ali asked him again: "If that weird man said that the reward for helping us is to have a child, do you think we should give it to him?"

Hua Zhaoshui thought for a while, and said, "If you really help, you should be rewarded, but... why does he want a child?"

Ali put his arms around his shoulders and said, "I don't know, what would you do if you were that kid?"

Hua Zhaoshui smiled at him, and said innocently, "If he wants to kill someone, then I will carry the new bow that my father made for me, sharpen two sharp arrows, and kill him."
