“Hehe…” Langyue laughed happily, continuing to help me comb my hair and answering my previous question, “The people of Night Mountain make a living by hunting and dare to go to any mountain… Oh, eight years ago when the Great King took the throne, Night Mountain had guards every day. The Rainbow Clothing Death Squad prohibited hunters from hunting. During that time, my father was quite frustrated. He is the bravest hunter.”
Hearing Langyue say this, I became more convinced that Night Mountain was the den that had imprisoned me for six years. A furious hatred pierced my entire body, and a terrible idea jumped into my mind – revenge. Thinking of this, I couldn’t help but clench my fist.
“Jiao Long, shall I help you tie up your hair?”
Called back to reality by Langyue, I shook my head: “No, it’s too troublesome.”
“Then let’s use a wide ribbon to tie up your hair; otherwise, it’ll be a mess when the wind blows.” Langyue said, taking out a colorful cloth to wrap my hair, tying several knots to ensure no hair could escape.
I smiled gratefully at Langyue. A large man with many braids pushed open the door. Langyue joyfully ran to the man and
said to me: “Jiao Long, this is my father, Suo Mulang. Father, she is called Lan Jiao Long, what a beautiful name…”
Suo Mulang stared deeply at me, his hawk-like eyes more prominent, seeming to probe. I blinked, not understanding. I wanted to thank him, but remembering that he was the one who shot the tiger, I suddenly lost my gratitude.
He looked at me for a long time. The rough, wrinkled eyebrows suddenly softened with a smile and he said in a hoarse voice: “Miss, have you been resting well?”
Langyue saw me pointing from afar and suddenly understood that the people of Night Mountain didn’t even know why the mountain was forbidden. Eight years on the throne? That means I’m already fourteen years old…
Suddenly, a voice rang out, “Rainbow Clothing Death Squad is here!” The entire scene fell silent instantly. Only Langyue, holding my arm with large eyes sparkling with excitement, whispered in my ear: “After the Rainbow Clothing uncles arrive, the King will be coming soon.”
