Chapter 193 Hope [Qiu]
Three days passed in a blink of an eye. Jiang Qiu put on the black armor with a crouching tiger head on his shoulders, holding the [Beixue Spear] inherited from the Beixue tribe in his hand. He said goodbye to Uncle [Xiong] and was about to follow the leader [Lie]'s team to the north.

"[mound]."

Suddenly, a clear shout stopped Jiang Qiu who was about to mount his horse. He put his right foot on the saddle, turned his head, and suddenly saw [Hua] raising her right hand high and shaking it in the vast snow. Her slender yet voluptuous figure was still three-dimensional even in a thick cotton coat.

"I wish you get the most ancestral inheritance!"

The delicate shout dispersed the wind and snow, like a small hammer hitting Jiang Qiu's chest. His pupils slightly opened, and he clenched the reins in his hands: "I will."

With a thump, Jiang Qiu jumped onto his horse and followed the team of warriors led by their leader [猎], passing through the ice and snow outside the tribal gate and being submerged in the white mist in the distance. The horse hoof prints left behind were also filled up as before.

It takes more than a few days to reach the ancestral ruins. The ancestral ruins are in the North Sea. The ice and snow will only melt during a specific period of time, and at this time people from various tribes will rush there early.

The North Sea is in the extreme north, and even the warriors of the Northern Snow Tribe have to ride on horseback for more than half a month to get there.

In order to ensure the safety of the chosen ones of their own tribe, or to ensure the safety of the geniuses of their own tribe, each tribe will send out its strongest group of warriors to escort them.

For example, the current Beixue tribe has the strongest Steel Bone Realm warrior in the entire tribe, and the leader [Hunter] leads the team personally. There are hundreds of the best warriors in the tribe, all of whom are from the main hunting team, and there are many strong men in the Iron Flesh Realm.

All for the sake of protecting Jiang Qiu's safety.

Looking at their backs disappearing in the snow, Hua Zhaoyao's right hand slowly dropped down, rubbing his hands, and stayed there for a long time in his cotton-padded jacket, exhaling a long breath: "Only four years left, Qiu will be gone."

Three years had passed since her coming-of-age ceremony. She was already nineteen years old and had gradually grown bigger. The cotton-padded jacket on her chest always had a hill-like outline. When she held her belly, she could feel the gap between the outer jacket and the inner lining, and she would shiver from time to time because of the cool breeze.

Perhaps it was a belated talent, she had more fluids than other women of similar age, even those who had already given birth to two children.

This is certainly a great talent and should be the object of competition among the young men of other tribes. Her mother has also persuaded her many times that if she is willing, she will definitely recommend her to a brave warrior.

But she just didn't want to, and had not wanted to come forward to meet the envoys of those tribes during the three-year coming-of-age ceremony.

Yes, even if you are an adult you can still go to the coming-of-age ceremony, but you will not be the protagonist. It is a rare opportunity to get in touch with outside tribes. Many women who have lost their husbands will also choose to seize the opportunity to rekindle their marriage during this period, and basically all of them will succeed.

Conditions like [Hua] are very competitive. Even a young master of a small tribe came to propose marriage, hoping to take [Hua] away. It is said that he heard that a fellow tribesman who came to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony introduced such a beautiful girl, and that the young master of the Nanshan tribe [Bing] had taken a fancy to her, but fortunately she was not taken away in the end. This is the opportunity.
"[Hua], the coming of age ceremony will be in a few days, you should get ready, this is not a solution."

When they got home, Hua's mother grumbled something, but she just lowered her head silently and sat by the fire to continue weaving the silk that she had not yet finished, her calloused palms rubbing against the cold silk.

"Hey, if you had followed the young master [Bing] of the Nanshan tribe, you wouldn't have to do all this work now."

The mother sighed, a trace of heartache flashing across the corners of her wrinkled eyes.

Seeing his daughter, who was taller than him, squatting quietly by the fire, the orange-yellow shadow of the flames swayed on her fair face, and her big round eyes glowed brightly. Time was passing faster and faster, and there were fewer and fewer happy days. When we were young, we would play with things like ice sculptures, but after the age of sixteen, we had no choice.

In the northern border, no tribe can have long periods of leisure. Someone has to chop wood, weave clothes, and hunt. When children grow up, they have to take on responsibilities.

There aren't many disputes between neighbors, and getting married is just to find a playmate to relieve boredom. Although there is little contact throughout the day, there will be hope sooner or later.

For example, [Hua] enjoyed meeting [Qiu] when she was little. Even when he was one year old and still couldn't walk, she could go see him every day.

When the other party is involved in the hunting process, they will not leave too far. Sooner or later they will return to the tribe or to the next door. [Hua] will sometimes lie on the wall and watch, always with a smile on his face.

But the other party is already an adult chosen one in the tribe. He left the neighboring area and went to the ice hot spring area in the core of the tribe to temper himself. Sometimes he might not be seen once a month.

Now [Qiu] has followed the most powerful warrior in the tribe to the North Sea. We may not be able to see him for several months, and there will be no chance to see him again in the future.

The strength of the chosen one will undergo a great transformation after entering the ancestral ruins, and maybe they will almost catch up with the leader when they return.

This is the law of historical development and also the legend passed down by the tribe to this day. It is unrealistic to hope that a chosen one will stay, and it is even more unrealistic to hope that a chosen one will come back.

Once the battle of the chosen one comes, those who should leave will leave, and those who stay here will remain here, unless the more ancient legend can be fulfilled - picking the enlightenment fruit on the top of the North Boundary Mountain and unlocking the seal of the North Boundary.

It is said that the Northern Realm was originally a corner of the ancestral realm, but was exiled for special reasons. In order to protect the human race, the ancestors sealed the Spiritual Eye of the Northern Realm, and this place has always been covered with ice and snow.

As long as the fruit of enlightenment is taken away, the seal will open automatically, and a steady stream of spiritual energy will flow out, and the northern realm will be connected to the ancestral realm.

But tens of thousands of years have passed, how many people still believe in such legends?
"Mom, I don't want to get married. Even after four years, I won't want to get married."

[Hua] murmured, a few crystal tears squeezed out of the corners of her eyes, her red cheeks twitched slightly, and her mind replayed the words "I will" that [Qiu] left before leaving.

Over the past 19 years, I have seen [Qiu] less and less frequently, but time has passed faster and faster.

When I was three or four years old, I looked forward to seeing a baby named "Qiu" and it became a habit. I couldn't get rid of this habit for the next sixteen years.

In this half of my life, the person who has accompanied me the longest, apart from my parents, is [Qiu].

She didn't know what this feeling was, but she probably just wanted to get married and find a playmate she longed for day and night.

Unfortunately, I can't wait any longer.
