C474 The Chief's Husband
C474 The Chief's Husband
The gongs, drums, and clamoring immediately disappeared without a trace. Everyone present looked at Han Chen with anger and envy. Especially the males, who looked as if they wanted to tear Han Chen into shreds.
What was going on?
Han Chen was also confused. Wasn't it just picking up an embroidered ball? It shouldn't cause such a commotion, right?
The leader of the group, Ai Xi, was also stunned. His pure eyes were filled with surprise that he could not hide.
"Why is it you?" Ai Li angrily went down the stage, and rushed in front of Han Chen, raising his whip.
Pow!
Han Chen who was still in a daze, could not react at all. He was hit and almost jumped up.
"Why did you hit me again?" Han Chen glared at him angrily.
However, Ai Li's eyes were even wider than Han Chen's, "Hmph, hit you? I still want to kill you. Didn't you die in the belly of a Golden Lion Hou? What are you doing here? "
"Me?"
"You what you? You're really pissing me off? Bring me your embroidered ball, and I'll be furious just by looking at you. " Ai Li's fuming appearance looked somewhat cute, but from her appearance, it could be seen that she was really quite angry right now.
He had been cursed and whipped. This was fine, but the key thing was that Han Chen didn't even know the reason why he was so infuriated, causing him to be filled with rage.
"What are you still standing there for? "Give me the ball." With a look of disdain, Ai Li stepped forward and reached for the ball.
Without waiting for Ai Li to snatch it, a clear and bright voice came from the back of the plaza. The ball was taken and the dust settled. The husband the leader has already been chosen, there is no way he can go back on his words. "
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
This sentence was like a thunderclap that exploded in the sky above the square. The square that had been completely silent a second ago instantly erupted into an earth-shattering hubbub.
A huge wave simultaneously rose up in Han Chen's mind. He was dumbstruck from shock, and even his chin almost dropped to the ground.
Leader husband? What was this situation? The most important celebration in Matriarch is the selection of the husband by the leader?
Han Chen's heart was in turmoil, like a thousand wild horses galloping. It was no wonder that all the men present wanted to kill him. He had picked up the ball with another intention in mind.
His hands were cheap! What a cheap hand.
Han Chen innocently smiled at the furious Ai Li, and then, took the initiative to pass the embroidered ball over. That, I'm passing by, you guys continue, continue. "
"You?" Ai Li was enraged, she snatched the embroidered ball into her hands and grinded her teeth as she cursed, "Bastard, you sure are bad for nothing."
With that, Ai Li walked to the center of the plaza with the embroidered ball. As she walked, she muttered loudly, "No, no, this kind of person can't become big sister's husband. He strongly requests to be chosen once again."
"I've chosen anew, I've chosen anew."
"The leader Ai Xi is mine, only I, the number one warrior of the Matriarch, am worthy of her."
"An outsider does not have the qualifications to become the husband of the Matriarch."
"Strongly requesting for re-election."
Everyone raised their hands in agreement with Ai Li's suggestion, the people who were fighting for the ball suddenly felt like they saw hope again.
Han Chen shrugged his shoulders, he did not have the intention to take a wife here. Moreover, seeing how fierce Ai Li was, it was likely that her sister's character was not that great.
Han Chen was about to turn and leave, but before he could take a few steps, two middle aged women holding onto a weapon stopped his.
"Bring the leader's husband up first." An old woman in her fifties walked out from the crowd. She was dressed in beast skin, and her skin was slightly black. She wore many beautiful decorations. It was likely that she was an elder with a heavy voice.
Bearing with the numerous pressure on the surroundings, Han Chen walked to the center of the plaza.
The old granny first sized up Han Chen, then looked towards Ai Xi who was on the stone platform and said, "Leader, the rule of our Matriarch is that whoever can snatch the embroidered ball, will become the leader's husband. Furthermore, the rules did not state that outsiders were not allowed to participate. The rules are passed down from our ancestors, and we hope that our leader can obey. "
Hearing that, Han Chen could not help but raise his head to look at the stone platform, and when he saw Ai Xi's appearance, he could not help but be startled. This Ai Xi's appearance could be said to be elegant and refined, completely different from what he had imagined.
He thought that since Ai Li was wild, then her elder sister would be the same. However, Ai Xi looked like a lotus at the peak of a snowy mountain, her unique aura intoxicating. Quiet and wildness have opposite styles at the same time.
However, Han Chen saw many beauties and quickly regained his composure.
"She saved my life." Han Chen raised his brows, and a trace of gratitude rose in his heart. He thought to himself that if there was a chance, he would have to thank Ai Xi personally.
"No, I don't agree with him becoming my sister's husband." Without waiting for Ai Xi to speak, Ai Li once again expressed her determination. With one hand on his waist, he pointed at Han Chen and said, "What do you think of him? He was powerless, without even the slightest bit of strength. Even the worst man in our Matriarch is more than a little stronger than him. Do you think he's worthy enough for my sister? "
Ai Li had completely destroyed Han Chen, leaving not even dregs. Everyone who heard it was filled with righteous indignation, and started to echo him.
"That's right, he can't become the leader's husband."
"The chief will not be happy with him."
The current Han Chen looked as if he was being suppressed, with the majority of the people disagreeing.
The few elders of the Matriarch were whispering to each other. They were all stubborn people, and were very respectful to the rules passed down in their ancestors.
Ai Xi indifferently swept his eyes across the crowd below his, his delicate face seemingly devoid of emotions.
Speaking of which, Ai Xi had never thought of choosing a husband. However, since that was the case, when she reached the age of marriage, he had no choice but to follow the rules of the Matriarch. Of course, even if she did get married. He was still the leader of the Matriarch, and the law of respecting women would never change.
Han Chen's appearance could be said to be the biggest surprise.
A person that Ai Xi accidentally saved picked up the embroidered ball that she threw out. Was this heaven's will? Or perhaps it was just a coincidence.
After the few elders conversed for a while, the old woman waved her hand, signaling for everyone to quiet down. The rules passed down by our ancestors cannot be easily changed. The one who obtains the embroidered ball is the leader's husband. "
"However, the husband of the leader of our Matriarch must not be an ordinary person either." Another female elder who was holding onto a walking stick said.
"Then what do you want?" Ai Li asked.
The elder who was holding onto a walking stick looked up at the leader Ai Xi, then pointed at Han Chen and said, "The meaning of our words is, if this young man can pull a strong bow that weighs 3000 jin, then he will have the qualifications to become the husband of the leader. If he is unable to pull out the three thousand jin heavy bow, then I shall choose the husband of the leader as well. "
Once this proposal was made, the entire audience once again fell into a clamor of discussion.
"Only three thousand catties?" Isn't this too easy? At the very least, you have to pull back a strong bow that weighs at five thousand kilograms. "
"Five thousand catties is nothing. Six thousand kilograms is more like it. "
Everyone say one sentence, I will say one sentence, and simply did not give Han Chen the right to speak on his own. Han Chen secretly shook his head, what was going on? It was indeed a strange place with a strange custom.
However, to Han Chen's surprise, from start to finish, the leader Ai Xi's face was extremely calm, as if this had nothing to do with her, as if it was a major event that would happen to him in his entire life. On the contrary, her sister Ai Li was extremely agitated.
Not long later, the ten strong bows were placed in front of Han Chen.
Along the way, the ten strong bows were extremely heavy, and even a few of the stone bricks on the ground were cracked.
The old lady who was holding onto a walking stick walked in front of Han Chen, and said with a serious tone, "Young man, the first three of these strong bows are three thousand kilograms, and the last one is three thousand five hundred, four thousand, four thousand, five thousand, five thousand, six thousand, and seven thousand kilograms. Do your best to pull any bow you like, you are the husband of the leader of our Matriarch. "
The men and women of Matriarch were all outstanding archers, especially the men who liked to use heavy bows.
The heaviest bow used in the tribe had a weight of over eight thousand kilograms, so it was very reasonable for the elders to make Han Chen pull the three thousand kilogram bow.
However, Han Chen was a little speechless, and did not know what to do where he stood for a while.
"What is it? You can't pull the 3000 jin bow? Or are you unwilling to become the husband of our leader? " The elder urged.
Needless to say, these words immediately attracted a lot of criticism from Han Chen.
"Of course he can't draw the bow. If he had the ability, he would have already attacked."
"That's right. Let's see which man doesn't want to marry our Lord Chief. He just doesn't have the ability. "
"There's no need to waste any more time."
Ai Li curled her lips in disdain. "Useless trash. No wonder he was able to return alive.
Han Chen laughed helplessly, and looked back at Ai Xi who was on the stone platform. He flicked his sleeves lightly and walked towards the ten strong bows in front of him.
Everyone present revealed a bit of indifference, and no one wished to see Han Chen's success.
Han Chen's gaze swept past the ten heavy bows in front of him, and stopped at the one thousand five hundred kilogram one.
The elder who was holding onto a crutch nodded his head, "If you can pull the heavy bow that weighs five thousand Jin, then you can be considered quite an outstanding person in our Matriarch."
Han Chen slowly let out a breath of relief before he shook his head and moved his feet to leave the five thousand kilogram heavy bow.
Everyone was stunned before they could even laugh. Han Chen didn't even look at the three thousand kilogram heavy bow as he walked to the side of the tenth and seven thousand kilogram heavy bows.
Hiss!
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. What was going on? That kid wants to challenge a 7000 jin heavy bow? Is he crazy?
