Chapter 6 first quarter

"Can people fly?" On this day, Xiao Dan asked Xiao Xiang. The two children sat on the hillside, and the sunset was turning the sky red.In front of them is a small village with smoke rising from the kitchen. "No, of course not." Xiaoxiang raised his head, looking at the faint stars appearing between the red and blue sky, his eyes were obsessed. "Then why do you always look up to the sky? Why do you flap your hands and run for joy whenever a bird flies by in the sky?" "Because I often dream that I am a bird..." ... Xiang was only seven years old that year.

This plain is surrounded by high mountains, standing on the high ground and looking around, the surroundings are green, with mountains in the distance, white clouds and snow connected. It seems that there are only a few dozen tribes on the land. At that time, time always seemed to pass very slowly, and the day could not pass, and the sheep were slowly grazing on the slope, and the grass could never be eaten up.White clouds are floating on the distant mountains, and the cloud shadows can always change on the skin of the mountains. But Xiao Xiang'er was lying on the slope looking at the sky, but she could see time passing by in the pure blue endless sky.

When he closed his eyes, he could feel the sky and the earth spinning slowly. This is an era that relies on strength to survive. Humans only occupy a small territory on this land, and wild beasts run in most places.Children have to learn fighting and archery from an early age. Only in this way can they protect themselves and hunt for food, win girls, become useful to the tribe, and gain the respect of others. Xiaoxiang is the worst one here.His body is the thinnest, and even a lamb can push him to the ground; his strength is the weakest, and he can't even draw the loosest wooden bow.Like a congenital deficiency, his weight is half that of children of the same age, and even a slightly older girl can lift him up with one hand. Such a boy will always be the object of ridicule by his companions.

Xiang's older sister, Mu, doesn't like to see his younger brother being laughed at. Whenever she has free time, she forces him to practice chopping wood and throwing stones, hoping that he will become stronger, but Xiang's efforts are fruitless, which makes people despair. Seeing Xiang being knocked to the ground by the stone again, Mu sighed and said, "Xiang, you will be the only man in the family in the future. I really hope you never have to grow up." Xiang always eats very little every day, and his father Yi is very unhappy, he will fill Xiang's bowl angrily: "Eat it! Eat more! You are like a mouse!"

Xiang was very angry when he heard his father say this, but he tried so hard and couldn't eat any more. As a result of stuffing it, his stomach was bloated and painful, and he spent the whole night in bed.
