C53 The Young Green Peacock Fell down Because of Its Final Belief

The man standing not too far behind the children of Datcha Village is an unfamiliar face from who knows where. The man, Between 35 and 40 years old, his face resembled that of an African leopard. He had a messy beard and a pair of sharp eagle eyes. He was wearing a fur coat. There were buttons and ribbons on it. In this season of Dai, his clothing style was almost the opposite of the season. He was wearing a sunhat, but he was wearing a pair of boots. He was carrying a heavy black and red travel bag on his back. The man stood there. He stared at the banner under the roof.

It was as if he had traveled a lot, and was already showing signs of exhaustion. When Qiuhe turned around to look, In the man's eyes, he understood a fleeting and cruel light. The aura that the man carried. . . It was something she had never encountered before. However, in that dense and unfamiliar aura. . . Autumn Lotus also caught a glimpse of a sporadic, familiar aura that she cared about.

His appearance caused the air around Da Tea Village Primary School to become thin. His heart made a violent sound from the galloping horse in his chest. Of course, That was just the feeling of Qiuhe alone, even though she had no proof. . . There was always a feeling of "still coming" lingering in her heart. This was a fate that she couldn't escape even if she wanted to. The appearance of the man. . . It must have had a deep connection with her. This was the first feeling that Qiuhe had for this man that flashed through her mind. She stared at the man who had suddenly appeared. Her large eyes were filled with vigilance.

The other children were also looking at him, the tall figure of an adult standing in front of them. The weak and strange cries were coming from this empty space, and no one knew where they came from.

"Water. Children, water. "

The foreign man spoke again with a foreign accent. He smiled and said, "I'm sorry. I passed by your village and asked for a sip of water. It's so hot here. "

He wiped the sweat off his face. The sweat was mixed with mud.

Ding Han looked at the stranger with the eyes of a strange person. His round little head tilted and said disdainfully, "Yo, look at what you're wearing. You look like a barbarian. How can you not feel hot when you wrap your fur around your body?"

The corners of the unfamiliar man's eyes flashed with a blue light, and his ears moved his muscles. Then he moved. Then, he smiled warmly. "Little friend, you're so cute. You're right, you're right. But please let me have a drink first. If you don't mind, This is yours. " The man opened his palm and a light green egg appeared in his hand. The head of the egg was not small.

Yu Er and Wu Huiyan looked at each other. Yu'er, as the class monitor, ordered Ding Han, "Ding Han, go and get some water for him. "

After Bai Junmao left Da Tea Village Primary School and went to the County Central Primary School to study in the middle school, Yu Er, who was originally a student council member, became the class monitor. She deserved to be called the class monitor. She was even more outstanding than Wu Huiyan in her studies. After Bai Junmao, she was the student with the best results in the class.

People in Dai Village were enthusiastic and hospitable. These children also inherited this tradition. Ding Han jumped up obediently. He shouted, "There's an egg to eat," and ran into the school dormitory.

Qiuhe, who was standing at the corner of the wall, had a pale face. The feeling of thin air assaulted her violently. She opened her mouth and took a deep breath in order to barely obtain enough oxygen. Although the weather was summer in Dai Village, and the air was hot and sweat drenched her back, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

Qiuhe approached the unfamiliar man as if she had emerged from a thick fog. Her eyes were fixed on the light green egg. She questioned, "What is that?"

"Ah? This is very valuable. It's your luck, kid. " The man weighed the egg in his hand.

Qiuhe's voice suddenly distorted. It was as if her throat had been torn apart and deformed before she was released. "Why are you holding the Green Peacock's egg?! Who are you?! "

Qiuhe had gone to the depths of the Tea Mountain many times to observe the life of the wild Green Peacock. She would never admit her mistake. That was the egg of the green peacocks, the precious next generation of the green peacocks. Qiuhe's eyes had already turned red. Her expression was as if she had squeezed out of a crack in the ground. It had changed shape. She remembered that it was not easy for the Green Peacock to live a leisurely life. At the same time, she also thought of her parents.

She finally understood why she had those bad premonitions. The man had a familiar aura. It was probably from the egg of the Green Peacock.

The strange man was very surprised. Maybe he didn't expect it at all. The stupid kids in the remote area would recognize the thing in his hand at first glance. Of course, this egg wasn't easy to come by. However, it was nothing to him. Instead of being destroyed during his long journey, He might as well give it to these stupid children as a personal gift. What was important was the green peacock nestling in his backpack!

"Smart little girl, she actually recognized the eggs of wild animals at a glance. If you want it, I'll give it to you. Uncle is a good person. You must remember, don't tell anyone about what happened today. If we meet again, I'll buy you some sugar. Poor little ghosts, You've never left the mountains in your entire life, pitiful. . . " When the strange man said "pitiful," A genuine expression appeared on his face. He felt the same for a moment. His expression immediately changed. An eagle-like eye detected something. "Forget it, I won't drink anymore. Let's go. " After casually throwing the Peacock Egg into Yu Er's hands, the man left.

He looked into the distance of the village. Under the clear sky, the people of Dai village were all busy in the tea terraces. Their figures were really small. As a country level protected animal, how much could the nestling of a green peacock earn this time? The man thought confidently.

A weak and strange cry sounded again. Qiuhe walked closer. This time, she clearly recognized the cry. It was the cry of the young green peacock! It was a pitiful distress signal! These tiny sounds were emitted from the man's backpack.

"Yu Er, don't let him go. He, he has a little peacock in his backpack!" Qiu He urgently said.

Yu-er was blankly staring at the big peacock egg in her hand. It was even bigger than her palm and it fell heavily into her palm. It was only when she heard Qiuhe's shout that she raised her head in fear.

Little peacock?

In that instant, it was as if something astonishing had been transmitted into the ears of the children present. They suddenly understood what it was. Was it a green peacock? It was the auspicious bird of their Dai village. Was it a sun bird? The green peacock was a spirit bird recognized by the people of Dai village. It was an animal that could bring good luck. Just like the Dai people in some places. It had the same relationship with the elephants and was closely related to the lives of the Dai people. Culture, faith, totems, everything was related to it. But in the past ten years, No one from Dai Village had seen the Green Peacock, and they rarely heard anything about it.

The word "Green Peacock" seemed so unfamiliar, but it soon became vivid in the hearts of the children. Whether it was the Peacock Dance, the totem of the Green Peacock on the elephant foot drum, the pattern of the peacock tail feathers on the tube-shaped skirt, or the picture of the peacock tail feathers on the tube-shaped skirt, The fragmented fragments that could be seen everywhere in Dai Village weaved into a complete picture. They jumped in front of their eyes.

As people of Dai Village, they would not allow others to harm their spirit birds. Furthermore, this was a precious spirit bird chick. Many children had never seen a real green peacock since they were born. They did not want to give up the chance to protect their faith and prosperity. There was a story in Dai Village. Twelve years ago, there was a group of people who wanted to create a peaceful home for the Green Peacock. They never came back after going to Great Tea Mountain. Later, it was said that the Green Peacock had disappeared in the mountains near Mengla. But today. . . The Green Peacock reappeared, representing the efforts and sacrifices of that group of people. It was not wasted. The environment of Dai Village was suitable for the survival of the green peacock.

"Snatch his bag! Save the little peacock!" Wu Huiyan and Yu Er spoke at the same time.

A group of children from Big Tea Village ran towards the unfamiliar man. Ding Han ran out of the school building and rushed in front. Qiu He stood behind the crowd with a gloomy face. The afternoon light shone on the five-star red flag. The shadow of the fluttering five-star red flag contrasted with half of Qiu He's face, and her face began to float.

"You meddlesome brats, are you crazy?"

When the strange man turned around, he was surrounded by twenty or so children. Some of them crawled onto his body and hugged his arms. There were also some who hugged his legs, as well as those who hugged his neck. The man was a little careless. They took the backpack. The cries of the little peacock from the backpack became clearer. It was right beside their ears. It seemed like there was no doubt that there was a little peacock inside. If it wasn't for the autumn lotus behind him, With a gloomy expression, the group of primary school students impatiently opened their backpacks to see what was going on. They desperately wanted to see the little peacock's appearance. Just as the children were feeling proud of their brave actions. A very clear sound came from beside them. The air suddenly froze.

"Blade! Hurry up and leave. " One of the children immediately cried out in fear.

The stranger's face was distorted. He took out a spring knife from his pocket and flicked it out. The knife was grinded very quickly. Under the illumination of the light, it was like the surface of the water was glowing. He pointed the knife at the kids who were retreating: "Give me that bird! That's my money! My only harvest in a month. Brat! Give me the bag, or I'll kill you all! "

A child cried out. Not only were they frightened by the knife, but they were also frightened by the man's sharp eagle eyes.

The child holding the green peacock nestling backpack was so scared that he could only put the dual-colored backpack on the ground. He turned around and ran. His actions had brought more people along. One by one, they ran into the school dormitory. After they entered the house, they leaned against the window and stared outside, revealing expressions of terror. It was as if they had just experienced a disaster. Yu Er and Wu Huiyan turned around, clearly wanting to escape as well. Qiu He heard the helpless cry of the little peacock.

"Hahahaha, it's a little brat after all!" The man walked towards his backpack, relaxed and natural.

Wu Huiyan ran to a spot about one meter away from his backpack. She heard Qiuhe's shout. "Wu Huiyan, take it away, yo. The little peacock is still alive!" The moment Wu Huiyan hesitated, Qiuhe had already run towards the unfamiliar man. Wu Huiyan was very clear on Qiu He's intentions. Qiuhe was trying to buy time for her. Coincidentally, when everyone was running back, Qiu He actually made this decision? She was unable to disappoint her. She was unable to ignore her choice and actions. She suddenly recalled Teacher Tao's words. Qiu He was an extraordinary girl. This orphan, in a fraction of a second. . . She had given Wu Huiyan a different feeling. Wasn't she stupid? She used to treat her classmates and companions like that.

"Mhm!" Wu Hui Yan picked up her heavy backpack and started running toward the school dormitory. Yu Er turned around and saw the situation here. Her little face suddenly changed. She originally wanted to hide in the school dormitory as well. However, she changed her mind and ran towards the depths of the Great Tea Village. Her heart also became anxious. He prayed that nothing would happen to Qiuhe. While she was running, she was also thinking about something. Was it worth it to do this for the little Peacock? Where did Qiuhe's courage come from?

Perhaps I don't understand her at all. Having such a brave orphan is worthy of respect. Yu Er ran with all her might and cried again disappointedly.

Behind the glass window of Da Tea Village's school building, faces were stuck there. The students lined up in a row. The fear spread to each other, and there was a rusty smell in the air. They looked anxiously at the strangers and Qiuhe outside. This was the first time they had carefully observed Qiuhe. This was the first time they noticed that Qiuhe's body was so thin in front of a tall adult. It was so insignificant that it was not worth mentioning. She could not stop the unfamiliar man from advancing at all. Suddenly, everyone's eyes widened. They saw Qiu He kneeling on the ground through the glass window. Under the reflection and pulling of the glass, the scene displayed a dramatic slow motion. The sound seemed to have been removed from the children's world. They couldn't hear anything, only their own heartbeats were extremely clear. Qiuhe's body was as light as a feather. Like melting ice falling down from the roof, she slowly fell down. Its cat-like gem-like eyes reflected the blue part of the sky, its eyelashes were very long. Her expression froze. Her head struggled to raise. It was as if she was trying her best to inhale as much air as possible. Time stopped just like that.

"Orphans. . . " Someone muttered in the schoolhouse.

"Ah? Little girl! I didn't touch you, you were the one who rushed up to block my knife. I don't want the little peacock anymore, don't die!" The strange man cowered.

Qiuhe knelt on the ground and raised her head, slightly opening her mouth. She smelled the stench of blood. The dry sound of air being blocked in her throat was no different from the sound of despair when the water in the pipe was drained dry. She opened her eyes. She saw the clear sky clouds in Dai Village drifting and the birds flying in the distant space. Sunlight shone down. Suddenly, she only wanted to see her teacher, Tao Huizhen. That amazing woman who gave her knowledge.

At this time. Tao Huizhen was on the west side of the Great Tea Village Primary School, desperately trying to get close to Autumn Lotus. The moment she saw Autumn Lotus fall, her breathing and heartbeat almost stopped. A new kind of pain spread up, and her body seemed to be twisting and breaking.

She felt as if she had crashed into a train that was flying towards her, and she had lost all feeling. In her mind, there was only one thing left, and that was to keep taking big steps, as much as possible. She ran like crazy, lifting her skirt and running like crazy. At this moment, she did not think about anything else. She only thought of going to Qiuhe's side.

That was her responsibility.
