Chapter 67
This is a very strong man.
He is tall and strong, with strong features and bright eyes, and looks full of energy.
Behind him, a woman came out of the wooden house.
Even without makeup, one could tell that the woman was extremely beautiful. She wore simple clothes made of coarse cloth, yet she managed to look like an ethereal being.
She was holding a basket in her hand and called out to the man before he left.
"Husband, wait a minute, you forgot something."
The woman came forward and handed him the food in the basket.
Hua Sisi observed that the family was not wealthy, and the food the woman gave was just a few rough flatbreads that did not look very good.
The man stopped when he heard this, and a gentle smile appeared on his face when he saw his wife.
He took the food from his wife and chuckled, "I forgot, my lady."
The woman glared at him in mock annoyance. "I knew you'd forget. You look smart, but you're actually stupid."
The man laughed and said, "No matter how dumb you are, you have your wife to back you up. My wife is the best."
Unable to resist the man's sweet talk, the woman showed a bright smile on her face.
Hua Sisi, who was standing by, understood what was happening. It turned out that in the past, couples used to call each other "husband and wife". This name was quite interesting.
She continued to watch, and the two stood there sweetly for a while. Finally, the woman realized that it was too late, so she pushed him quickly. Only then did the man reluctantly leave the house and walk away.
Hua Sisi hesitated between the two of them, and finally chose to follow the man.
As an outsider in this scene, it seemed that no one could see her, so she could boldly observe everything around her.
For example, the situation in the tribe and the comings and goings of people, she found that although the tribe was not rich, every family had surplus food, and there seemed to be quite a few young children.
She didn't know what other tribes were like, but she intuitively felt that this should be a pretty good tribe.
She followed the man to the door. When she got there, there were already several people standing there. They were basically strong men in the tribe, and each of them carried his own weapon.
The man had one too, with a bow and arrow on his waist and a coarse cloth bag next to it, which was full of arrows.
"Houyi, you're here?" Someone greeted the man.
So his name is Houyi, Hua Sisi thought thoughtfully.
Houyi nodded. After counting the number of people, he found that everyone was there, so he took everyone to hunt.
It can be said that Houyi was a good hunter. Whenever he passed a section of road, he would stop first to identify the direction. After finding out the traces of animals walking on the ground, he would choose whether to go forward or not.
He mostly chose smaller animals. Although they were not big in size, little by little, the prey gradually piled up into a small hill.
"We have a good harvest today." Everyone in the tribe showed a happy smile on their faces.
A slightly older man in the crowd patted the prey on his shoulder, his tone unusually relaxed.
"The harvest is good. If nothing unexpected happens, I think this food will be enough to last for half a month."
The group was walking back with laughter and joy. Just when everyone thought that everything was going well today, the weather suddenly changed and bright sunshine appeared in the originally gloomy sky.
At first, no one took it seriously. Only Houyi looked up at the sky with worry in his eyes and pursed his lips, but in the end he said nothing.
But his worries were correct. Everything was normal at first, but in just a few minutes, the surroundings began to get hotter and hotter. He didn't feel it before, but now the strong sunlight hit his body, and even though he was wearing clothes, he could still feel the stinging sensation.
Even Hua Sisi felt extremely hot and stuffy.
She wiped the sweat from her face and looked up at the sky.
Perhaps the sweat blurred her vision, she discovered that there were several suns floating in the sky.
??? Is this reasonable?
Hua Sisi rubbed her eyes hard and looked up at the sky again. This time, she counted carefully under the strong sunlight and found that there were actually six suns in the sky.
While she was observing, another sun appeared in the sky.
This directly broke her long-held three views.
Oh my God, can the sun appear as many times as it wants?
This world is too mysterious.
Not only her, Houyi also noticed the situation in the sky, and his expression changed quickly.
"Oh no! Those Golden Crows have appeared again. We need to hurry and get our prey back to the tribe, or else it will rot in this weather."
"What? Another Golden Crow is going up to the sky? Damn Golden Crow, they can't take turns going up to the sky, they have to appear all at once." Someone said angrily, but the situation was urgent at the moment, so after saying this, everyone quickened their pace and wanted to return to the tribe before the Golden Crow came out completely.
Because they had to carry the prey, their exposed skin was burned, and the rapidly rising temperature made the air distorted. In this situation, everyone began to gasp.
Someone fell to the ground due to exhaustion, but in the end everyone supported each other and walked back.
But after returning, they found that the tribe was not peaceful either. Due to the sudden rise in temperature, many elderly people and children fainted.
Seeing the tribe in this state, Houyi clenched his fists and made a secret decision in his heart.
"I'm going to defeat those Golden Crows and prevent them from doing evil again."
When he said this, everyone looked at him in surprise, and many people advised him not to do it.
"Those Golden Crows are the children of Di Jun and Xi He. If you hit them, they might cause trouble for you later!"
"But I can't just stand by and watch these Golden Crows like this. Because of their trouble, the land has dried up a lot recently. You don't need to persuade me anymore. I have made up my mind." Houyi left with a determined face.
He returned home and saw his husband coming back. The woman came up to greet him with a smile, but she heard him say that he was going to fight the Golden Crow.
Unlike others, the woman was very supportive of his decision.
"Those Golden Crows are really going too far. Even though they are children of gods, they are really too naughty. If you want to go, my husband, you must be careful not to get shot."
Hou Yi was deeply moved. He held the woman's hand tightly and assured her, "Don't worry, Chang'e. I will take good care of myself. You must take good care of yourself while I'm away."
Knowing that they couldn't see her, Hua Sisi walked into the couple's house openly and overheard their conversation.
It turns out that this woman is called Chang'e.
This name sounds beautiful. Why are the names of the myths of Chinese civilization so beautiful?
Hua Sisi suddenly felt that her name was too out of date, and she even had the urge to change it.
However, this impulse only lasted for a moment, and a panel suddenly appeared in front of her.
[Triggering the Houyi Shooting the Sun mission event. This mission requires at least 100 visitors to participate. Should we announce it?]
Huh? How did she trigger the quest?
Hua Sisi felt confused, but still clicked on the announcement.
The missions in Huaxia Paradise are like this. Basically, whenever they appear, they are the kind that require cooperation among multiple people.
Because they had experience with several previous mission activities, most tourists were not too surprised when they received the news. Many experienced tourists turned around and looked for related items after seeing the mission introduction.
The task this time was to help Houyi find high-quality bows and arrow materials. The old tourists had seen the things listed, and since there were so many people, the task was completed in just one hour.
Countless people came to Hundun. They came to Houyi's home. Because there was no room to stand at the back, everyone could only stand around the wooden house. Many people craned their necks to look at the people in the wooden house.
What they were looking at was not Houyi, but Chang'e in it.
There is really no way to say it, Chang'e is simply extremely beautiful, every facial feature seems to be in the most perfect place, she has a graceful figure and fair skin.
Not only men, but even many girls' hearts beat faster after watching it.
Some people even took advantage of this opportunity to go online and leave messages to Song Yuxing, begging her to release some Chang'e peripheral products.
Isn’t this the wife they were destined to marry? The damn Houyi actually married such a beautiful and virtuous wife. It’s even more painful than killing them.
Hua Sisi, who triggered the task first, handed in the task items. The next second after the task was completed, their brand new bows and arrows appeared on the wooden table in the house.
Seeing this scene, Hou Yi was shocked for a moment. Although he didn't know who had done it, he thought for a moment and then clasped his fists around him and said, "Thank you for your help. If I can come back, I will definitely reward you handsomely."
He took the dry food and clothes prepared for him by Chang'e, put the bow and arrow on his waist, picked up the quiver and left home directly.
A small number of tourists stayed because of Chang'e, and the vast majority followed him, seeing him climb over one mountain after another, the sun rising and the moon setting, repeating the cycle. Everyone felt tired, but he seemed tireless, leaving everyone with only a silent but determined back.
Until finally, he stopped on a mountain peak.
This is the mountain closest to the sun and the place most exposed to sunlight. The top of the mountain is bare and the ground is covered with countless dry cracks.
He sat on the top of the mountain and waited.
Everyone didn't know what he was waiting for, but curiosity gave them enough patience to wait with him.
He waited and waited until the day when 10 suns appeared in the sky, and then his body, which had been sitting still, suddenly stood up.
He took out his bow and arrow, took an arrow from the quiver, put it on the bow, took aim, and waited for several hours. When the Golden Crow was closest to the mountain, the arrow flew out.
Then everyone saw with their own eyes that his arrow turned into an exploding fireball and hit one of the suns accurately.
Woo——
A cry of pain came from the sky, and then the sun fell to the ground. The light on it slowly dimmed, revealing its original body.
This is a black bird with three legs. If it doesn't glow, it looks no different from ordinary animals.
But it is the child born to Di Jun and Xihe. It is surprising that a god could give birth to such a child.
There are eight more.
Houyi muttered to himself.
Worried that the other Golden Crows would scatter and escape, he simply took out four arrows this time, aimed, and loosened his hand, and four suns fell.
He was almost like a master archer, every shot hit the target, and every hit was accompanied by the screams and wails of the divine creature.
In the eyes of everyone, these wailing sounds sounded like singing and cheering for Houyi.
Everyone was deeply shocked.
No one could have imagined that in such a primitive era, someone could be so bold as to do such a thing.
No one could have imagined that someone could be so brave that he could actually beat down ten suns until only one was left.
At this moment, he, with his human body, was on par with the gods.
