Chapter 67: Don't worry, I'll forgive you
The roots of the trees pierced into the mountain ground, letting their green hands reach into the sky. Thick and sturdy tree trunks faced each other, looking similar from a distance. Branches and leafy leaves were intertwined in the air.
Under the surroundings of these trees was a wooden house.
The wooden house was made entirely of solid thick bark, giving off a sort of genuine firm smell. The log house was not a newly built house, but it had been collected over the years. Thus, the surface of the house had green moss growing everywhere, and some tree trunks began to grow small, soft branches.
Around the wooden house was a tall and large fence built from green bamboo spears. The back and front were all vegetable fields, and in the middle of the field was an artificial well.
At this moment, a young and beautiful woman was fetching water from the well.
While she was wearing simple and plain clothes, this was still difficult to cover her skin. He was sixteen years old, and he had a pair of large black, black and white eyes his eyes were clearly visible, and pure like crystal.
Sunlight penetrated through the overlapping and lush leaves of the tree, shining on his face, letting his skin reflect light like snow white, also showing a kind of transparent red hue and tenderness to it.
His black hair was painstakingly severed and covered half of his cute ear lobes.
His pink lips pursed at this moment, and he clenched his perfect white teeth, his face showing an expression of full concentration.
He used all his strength to pull the water-filled bucket out of the well. With another breath, he moved the bucket to the ground outside the well.
“Huff!” The young girl wiped her forehead and sighed, using her pale hands to fan her own face.
Hearing the bucket hit the ground, the door of the wooden house opened, and an old man came out.
The old man's hair was a mixture of black and white, his face had layers of wrinkles. Although his eyes looked tired, sometimes his eyes showed a hint of brilliance. Like an old tiger, even though it is old, the authority of the tiger is still visible.
“Son, this bucket is too heavy, I said let me carry it. Why are you secretly watering the plants behind me again?” The old man looked at the young girl and showed an expression of affection.
"Dad!" The young girl sweetly called out, “You hunted till late last night, I want you to sleep later today. It's just a bucket of water, look, I can carry it, right? ”
"You, always like to act tough!" The old man's voice was filled with helplessness, but his eyes once again doted on him.
He took a big step and got to the well, stretched out his hand and easily grabbed the bucket, "Come on, son, let's water the plants together."
The air was filled with the smell of grass and wildflowers, and the summer breeze blew warmly and passed through the trees, turning into a refreshing gust of wind.
The wooden house on the mountain had a vegetable field, and the girl used a bucket, lowering her back to water the plants. The father was in charge of fetching water, spinning between two buckets of water. The atmosphere of a loving family is evident in this tiny space.
“Huh, I'm too old, just a few buckets and I'm already exhausted.” After a while, the old man stood by the well, wiped off the sweat on his forehead and sighed deeply.
The young girl looked back, smiling like a flower, said, “Dad, you finally noticed it. You are very old, but you want to be strong all the time. How many times have I told you, let the second brother hunt, you should rest at home enjoying your life at this age.
“Hehehe,” the old man laughed, nodded, “Depend on your second brother's ability, he can explore this mountain easily. With his archery skills, it even surpassed me in my youth. But I still can't feel comfortable, his heart is too wild, and only with martial arts skills he wants to soar.Huh, young people like to imagine freely, they all have this problem.”
“Dad....” The young girl dragged her words.
The old man laughed even harder now, his tone carrying a naughty gesture, “Oh yes, there is still you. You are not young anymore, it is time to get married. I've found a good partner for you, and with your good looks, there's no problem with finding a good family.
The girl's face turned red like a tomato. Soon she felt too embarrassed until she was at a loss for words.
The old man looked up at the sky, imagining a great future with a sigh, “Once your second brother regresses and limits his nature, I will retire and never go to the mountains. Next I'll find you a good family and see you get married and have children, preferably fat boys. Heh heh, your father wants to take care of his grandson, that's all I want. One's life is not easy, and as a hunter, how many can have a good ending? Huh, all my partners and colleagues from the past are gone, only I am left.”
"Dad, you're wrong." The young girl consoled, “What do you mean that all you have left is you? You still have us. ”
“Hehe, hm?” The old man laughed and was about to answer, but he suddenly heard a voice and turned his head.
The small entrance of the bamboo fence was vandalized from the outside by someone.
"You're Wang's parents?" Fang Yuan's cold expression with his frightening eyes, stepped forward with a lump of moonlight on his right arm.
“Sir Wang, your son dares to offend me, I have executed him. Bring the body forward!” Fang Yuan stood up proudly, staring at the kneeling old man as he conveyed the main topic.
His words had just finished, and two young hunters brought Wang Er's corpse in.
Seeing this corpse, old man Wang's body trembled!
“Second sister—!” The young girl shouted pitifully, rushed forward and grabbed Wang Er's corpse, her face flushed with tears.
"Princess of the Wang family ..." The two young hunters, seeing the girl they liked crying in front of them, felt bad. They wanted to comfort him, but no words came out.
“Pak old Wang, I heard you are a hunter, the best among some villages. At such an old age, you can still hunt and get good results every time, this is good.”
Fang Yuan paused for a moment here, and continued expressionlessly, “Pict me the map of all the traps in the nearby mountainous area now, as well as the results of your observations of the territory of the wild beasts from your hunting experience during this time. Draw it for me and I will forgive your son's sin for offending me, otherwise. hmph.”.
These villages were under the control of Gu Yue village. The villagers were all peasant slaves of the Gu Yue clan.
With Wang Er's offense for offending his master, according to the rules of the clan, their entire family would be implicated!
The old man Wang's body trembled again, almost falling to the ground. This kind of impact was too sudden and great for him.
“Killer, you are the murderer who injured my brother! You treat human life like livestock, and you dare to face us? I will take revenge for my brother!!” The young girl shouted, her voice filled with hatred and anger towards Fang Yuan, and she rushed towards Fang Yuan.
But he was only halfway through when he was stopped by someone.
Not the two young hunters, but his father.
“An embarrassing asshole!” Old man Wang shouted as he gave the young girl a loud slap, sending her to the ground.
“Your second brother is dead, do you want to die too? Do you want your old father to be old and alone forever ?! ” The old man cried profusely saying this, his body shaking violently.
"Dad!" The young girl was awakened by this, and her tears flowed. His voice was filled with sorrow, injustice, mercy, hatred, and helplessness.
The old man turned his body, faced Fang Yuan as he knelt down and placed his forehead on the ground, prostrating deeply at Fang Yuan's feet. His voice trembled as he said, “Master Gu Master, my son offended you and deserved to die! I'll draw a map for you now, please release us with your generosity. ”
Fang Yuan's expression turned softer, he looked at the old man arrogantly, saying, “Keep, as long as you draw honestly, I will forgive you. But don't think about lying to me, because if I find anything suspicious, your life will be forfeited!”
"I see, this old man understands." Old man Wang kowtowed nonstop, "Please, Master Gu, let me take my brushes and paper."
"Not needed." Fang Yuan waved his hand, looked at the two hunters he had forced, ordering, "Get into the room and find the paper and brushes, and take them out."
"Yes, Mr. Gu Mr." The two youngsters did not dare to rebel under Fang Yuan's authority.
"God, paper and brushes are on a square table in the kitchen." Said Wang's parents.
Fang Yuan's eyes shone but he remained silent.
The two hunters broke into the house and quickly took out papers and brushes.
In the southern region, special paper is made from bamboo, which is of poor quality and the paper is hard with a green coating. Paper like this is suitable for humid weather of southern territorial weather.
If it is rice paper, it may break after a week due to moisture.
The old man carried a brush and knelt on the ground, drawing black lines, indentations or dots.
He used over ten bamboo papers, before handing them all over to Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan looked through them and split this bamboo paper in half, handing it to the two hunters, “See if there are any inappropriate areas. Every mistake, I will give you one primordial stone!
