The cold wind was howling, and thick white frost covered the ground. Everyone put on more clothes, rubbed their hands while walking on the streets, and lit fires to keep warm. It gradually became lively.
This is the Northland, and the cold winter has come earlier than usual. Although there are no snowflakes falling yet, the cold air makes people shrink from their toes.
This is the law of survival in the Strong Continent, but the Northland is the territory of the Zhou family. Because of the severe cold, the people here generally have a red face, and the tight clothing makes them appear simple and unpretentious.
"Lao Zhang, have you killed the sheep?"
"Boss, please wait a minute. There are so many sheep that are not easy to kill."
"You have been killing sheep for so many years, and six sheep are embarrassing you?"
"Boss, I suddenly have to kill six sheep. I am not a smart person. It must be difficult. Now, who do you want to give these six sheep to?"
This is a mutton shop, and the people inside are very busy. The boss keeps urging the butcher in the shop, and the butcher is killing six sheep. Usually the boss is not so generous, but now he has to give away six sheep. Going out will inevitably make people a little confused.
"Old Zhang, you don't know this. Today is the birthday of our leader. A big event will be held in Xiangyangpo. Everyone will go to celebrate his birthday. These six sheep are for the leader. Congratulations."
"Boss, the leader is celebrating his birthday, can I go too?"
"Of course, not only you, Lao Zhang, can go, but everyone else can go. You kill the sheep quickly, otherwise you will have no chance to see the leader."
After the boss finished speaking, everyone was very excited and speeded up their hands. The six sheep were killed and carried to Xiangyang Slope.
…
There is a small mountain called Xiangyang Slope in the Northland, which is a thousand meters high and empty on all sides. Because every time the sun rises and sets, it will pass over Xiangyang Slope, resulting in a golden light layout. It is nicknamed King Kong Mountain. It is an annual visit of the Zhou family. A gathering place.
The empty ground was already filled with people from the North. They were blocked by soldiers and formed into a circle. In the middle were five piles of matches, each with a chef holding condiments.
In addition to these, a ring was set up in the middle, a two-meter high platform and ten meters wide. The flags of the Zhou family were dancing and flying. There were people guarding both sides of the drum. The men of the Zhou family were in high spirits.
"Have you heard? Today is not only the leader's birthday, but also the young master will compete in martial arts today to become famous."
"Yes, we are in the North. They all say that the young master is very powerful. We are going to meet him today."
"Dad, can I marry the young master?"
"You little girl, don't talk nonsense. What kind of person is the young master? How could he fall in love with you?"
"Look, the leader is here!"
Everyone spoke different languages. After hearing a roar, they all looked towards the mountain pass. They saw soldiers leading them, and a couple and their children slowly walked up.
They sat across from the ring and began to greet the guests.
"The owner of the Beidi Sheep Shop is here."
"The boss of Beidi Rouge is here."
"There is a way from Beidi Silk Boss."
One after another, people from various departments came to congratulate the leader.
brush!
After receiving the guests, the drums were beating, and a man stood up from the table. He had thick eyebrows, vicious eyes, a high nose, few hairs, big ears, a round face, sometimes white, sometimes red, and he was dressed in gold. Wearing a silk cotton-padded jacket, he is fat and has a gold pen hanging on his waist. He is half a rough man and half a scholar. He is none other than Zhou Zhitong, the leader of the Zhou family.
He raised his hand to stop the beating of the drum and said: "You are all the heroes of my family and the people of my family. I always think about making the family last forever on this continent and strive to be the first. But for many years, I can only dream Accept the reality, so you must unite and prepare for the future development of the family."
"Solidarity!"
Zhou Zhitong saw everyone's blood boiling, then signaled to stop, and then said: "Today is my birthday. I should be enjoying myself alone, but the people in my family are still suffering. I feel very sad. Therefore, I convene a family meeting to celebrate my birthday today." The purpose of setting up this competition arena is to select talents for the family so that they can unify the continent in the future."
"The leader is wise."
Zhou Zhitong said: "The competition in the ring is a family tradition. There is no distinction between high and low here. As long as you have the strength, you can fight. I announce that the competition will begin now."
brush!
The drums were beating and everyone was talking. At this moment, a young man jumped onto the ring. He was extremely cold and stern. He was wearing white clothes and looked down arrogantly.
The fire burned, and the six sheep were put on the fire. As the heat rose, the young man challenged: "Who will fight with me in Yaxuan next week?"
Everyone was surprised that the young man in front of them was the leader's son, and there was a lot of discussion, but no one dared to challenge him.
