Chapter 18 last ballad

[Four years after the end of the Wushe Incident, in the Kaiqin Mountains in the Central Mountain Range] There is a mist in the forest, and there is a thin rain in the air at the same time. The young Seediq hunter raised his gun to aim at the figure running between the branches, and the bullet was fired, and a monkey fell down in response. When it fell, it broke many branches and fell straight on the high soil slope. Hearing the weakened wailing of the dying prey from a distance, the young hunter looked up at the soil slope covered with ferns in front of him. It was a nearly vertical mountain wall with a height of about seven or eight meters. An isolated mound formed after an earthquake or torrential rain causes soil to fall away.The young hunter hesitated for a while in front of the mountain wall. It took him two days to go to such a remote mountain for the purpose of hunting more prey. After a short consideration, the young man decided to put down his gun and climb up up the slope.

Because of the rain, the soil on the mountain wall was as slippery and slippery as the skin of a frog. The young man almost fell several times, but fortunately he was able to hold onto the weeds to stabilize himself in a critical situation. Relying on his desire for prey, the young hunter overcame his fear of heights.He climbed up the slope with hands and feet, and found the monkey lying in the grass.The young man looked at the dead booty with a smile on his face, quite satisfied with his vigorous skills. The young man had never been to a place so deep in the mountains. Next to the soil slope full of dwarf trees and weeds was a bottomless valley. He bent down and picked up the monkey and put it on the trunk behind him, and then stood on the ground. Looking at the distant mountains from the edge of the slope, there is an indescribable awe in my heart.

It's so beautiful∣∣The young man secretly admired it.The low clouds that brought the drizzle are gradually dissipating, and the main peak of Qilai is also appearing in the distance. The layer upon layer of mountain peaks seems to continue to the horizon, with no end in sight.The young man looked at the scenery in front of him in a daze, so when a SINSIN bird flew up from the small tree behind him without warning, the sound of fluttering wings frightened the young man so much that he almost lost his footing. The young man looked back at the direction where the sinsin bird was flying away in a reproachful manner. Suddenly, he seemed to see something that surprised him. It was a small cave blocked by long grass. And the looming figure looks like a person!

The young man tilted his head, opened his mouth slightly, picked up a dead branch and held it in his hand, and walked towards the figure nervously. When he pushed aside the miscanthus that was half a person's height, a squatting corpse appeared. clearly presented in front of the youth. This is?The young man took a deep breath and carefully looked at the strange wreckage in front of him. The corpse was holding a long gun in both hands, the butt of the gun rested on the ground, and the barrel of the gun was facing the neck. It seemed that he had shot himself to death.The ground where blood should have been scattered is now covered with lichen.The young man discovered that the body on the left side of the deceased had rotted into white bones, but the right side had been dried into a mummy. The black flesh shriveled and attached to the bones, and he could roughly see the outline of a man.He was wearing a grand Sediq garment, but the material had been exposed to the sun and rain for a long time, and it was a little damaged and faded badly.

Who would make a special trip to such a place to commit suicide?The young hunter muttered to himself.After getting used to the scene in front of him, he was no longer as shocked as he was at the beginning.He slowly crouched in front of the corpse to see if he could find other clues. At this moment, he found a rusty fan knife lying quietly beside the man. The tail of the fan knife was tied with a long The human hair looked like it had been used as a murder weapon. The young man picked up the knife, and the knife was heavy in his hand, which showed that the owner of the knife had a strong arm.The young man was playing with the fan knife, and suddenly remembered that the old man in the tribe said that only those warriors who have successfully emerged from the grass are qualified to tie the hair on the head of the hunt to the knife.Among them, the hero with the most hair tied to the knife is the former head of the Mahepo Society, Mona Rudo.

Could this be∣∣The young man held the knife closer to his face, and at the same time looked at the man's mutilated face again.When the Wushe incident happened, he was only twelve years old, and he didn't remember what the hero of Wushe looked like! A strong wind blew, and the wind was so strong that the grass around the young man fluttered and danced.The young man squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of the wind. His vision was hazy, and he saw a beautiful rainbow that had filled half of the sky at some point, as clear as a sculpture. This is our mountain!The wind was still blowing, and the young man vaguely heard a voice similar to singing, but he wasn't sure if it was an illusion caused by the wind.He stood up from the corpse and looked at the rainbow obsessively. Sediq people always have a special attachment to the rainbow. Then, something that surprised the young man happened!

In that unusually long gust of wind, the young man saw a translucent tall figure, stepping on the rainbow like a dream, walking towards the sky, that figure was wearing the same grand dress as the corpse in front of him, with long Her hair fluttered in the wind, and the faint singing sound seemed to come from that distant place. This is our brook!There was no mistake, there was indeed singing in the wind, the young man closed his eyes and shook his head to confirm that he was not dreaming.When I opened my eyes again, the figure was still there, and the singing voice gradually became complicated, as if someone was singing in chorus.

We are real Seediq.More and more blurred figures of Ba Laiya followed behind the tall figure, walking on the rainbow, and they seemed to be singing songs happily together. We hunted in the mountains, we shared food among the tribes, we drew water from the streams, Stream!Stop making noise, SINSIN bird is singing, please sing a nice song! Sing for our people, sing for our people, the song from the ancestors, Under the lightning of the boulder, a rainbow appeared, a rainbow appeared, and a proud man came, Who is so proud?It is your descendant, Sediq.Bale Countless figures walked on the Rainbow Bridge dancing and dancing. They laughed and danced, as if they didn't have any troubles, and they just wanted to sing loudly.The young man had never heard such a passionate and melodious ballad, and his chest seemed to be beating excitedly like a drumstick.He lifted up his face without tattoos and looked at the backs of the group of men and women with envious eyes, gradually moving away from the earth and heading straight to the top of the sky.

They still sang, they sang forever, they crossed the Rainbow Bridge to the top of the mountain! (End of the book)
