The rock stood up, and although the Aran was sturdy, he was much shorter than the rock, and looking at his appearance, he couldn't help but take a step back.
Rock said, "Brother, we're just passing through here.
Excuse me, where are all your people here, have you all gone to graze?"
The Aran people had recovered from their surprise, grinned, and said, "What kind of grazing are you grazing today, don't you know that today is the Baturu Festival of our Aran tribe."
The festival is about to begin, everyone is running to celebrate, and of course there will be no one here.
Together with a few nearby tribes, we gathered over there.
I'm here to get something, otherwise none of you will see it.
The celebration is about to begin, foreigners, do you want to go and see it together, it will be very lively. ” Several people gathered around, and Dumb asked, "This big brother, what does Baturu mean?"
The man said: "You don't even know this, Baturu means warrior in our ancient Aran language, so this festival is also called the Festival of Warriors."
Each tribe will choose its own warriors to participate in today's celebrations.
If you want to go or not, I'm going to get over quickly.
Once a year, the Baturu festival is one of the most important festivals of our Aran people. ” Xuan Yue said excitedly: "If you want to go, you want to go, we also have to go and see."
Take us there. ” When the people of the Yalian tribe saw Xuan Yue's pretty face, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they exclaimed: "Little girl, you are so beautiful, my name is Tubari, and you are welcome to join our festival." ” Rock and rock force glanced at each other, they had long heard that the Baturu Festival of the Aran tribe was very interesting, it was the biggest celebration of the Aran tribe, and since they had caught up with it this time, it was okay to take a look, not to mention that they also wanted to buy horses from the Aran people.
"This big brother, then please lead the way.
We, foreigners, will not cause you trouble by going to your celebrations."
Tubari laughed and said, "How can it be, our Aran people like to make friends the most.
Since you have come here, you are our friends.
At this moment, a low horn suddenly sounded in the distance, and his face moved, and he said, "Let's hurry over."
The celebration is about to begin.
After saying that, he greeted the four of them and quickly ran to the east.
Several people glanced at each other and hurriedly followed.
The most excited is Xuanyue, who is always so curious about new things.
The four of them followed Tubari through the herd of cattle and sheep, and suddenly saw an unusually spectacular scene, the place where the oasis was located was on higher ground, so they didn't find this side just now, as soon as they passed through the herd of cattle and sheep, they suddenly saw the Aran people all over the mountains, these people were divided into three parts, the costumes were very simple, and many young people of the Aran tribe were naked, constantly shouting.
Most of them were riding tall horses, with excited smiles on their faces.
In the center of the Aran people, there is a large empty field, around the empty field, there are fires, and on each fire there is a whole cow or a whole sheep, and the smell of meat is constantly coming, so that Dumb and others can't help but eat.
Tubari said, "Let's go, let's go over."
It's about to begin.
I belong to the northern tribe, just to the north, the other two are the southern tribe and the eastern tribe, although our three tribes are not very strong among the Aran tribe, but because of the close relationship between the tribes, and occupy this oasis, so life is still very good.
So saying, he led the people to the people of the tribe of Aran on the north side.
The Aran people were not too surprised by their presence, and those who saw them all smiled and welcomed them.
The horn sounded, and tens of thousands of Aran people suddenly fell silent.
From the three Yalian tribes in the north, east and south, more than a dozen fast horses rushed out and galloped towards the center.
When the three teams of men and horses were about to collide, the knights on the horses made a reining motion at the same time, and dozens of fast horses stood up almost at the same time and stopped in the neighing of the horses.
The superb riding skills are breathtaking.
Dumb thought to himself, no wonder people say that the light cavalry of the Yalian tribe is very powerful.
Yan Li pinched his palm, looking eager to try, in the Puyan clan, his riding skills are very famous, as soon as he saw these Yalian people who are good at equestrianism, his heart suddenly itched.
Three teams of people gathered in the middle of the clearing, and the surrounding Aran people shouted at the same time, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.
The leaders of the three teams were all in their forties, and they raised their sabers in their hands and shouted something with their knights.
In the middle of the night, the shouting stopped, and the leader on the north side shouted loudly: "Brothers and sisters, today is the annual Baturu Festival of our Aran tribe, and it is also the festival of the birth of our warriors.
After a year of hard work, we Aran have produced many new warriors," "This is the chief of our tribe, and of the three tribes, our tribe is the most powerful, and the festival of Baturu is divided into two parts, the first is a competition of various forms, and at the end the warriors of each tribe will be chosen.
The latter is a complete.
Only today, we Aran people don't have to work or graze, and everyone can enjoy themselves.
There are three main competitions in the front, which are riding, wrestling and archery.
Are you interested in participating?
” The rock shook and said, "Can we also participate?"

Tubari laughed, "Of course you can."
We Aran people respect those who have the ability to do it the most, and there are rewards for the races, and the reward for the riding competition is two horses.
The wrestling competition has the best rewards, and the winner can choose an unmarried girl of his choice who is at least 18 years old from the three tribes to marry home as a wife, so the competition is also the most intense, and many young people want to show everyone at this time, not only to win fame but also to win the hearts of their beloved.
The reward for an archery competition seems to be money, and I heard that it is as much as 50 gold coins. ” As soon as they heard the reward for the horses, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, and Yan Li couldn't wait to say: "I, I'm going to participate in the riding competition, brother, take me to sign up." ” Tubari laughed and said, "Brother, I didn't see your horse."
Yan Li shook his head and said embarrassedly: "It's a pity that my horse didn't come."
Hey" lowered his head in annoyance.
Tubari smiled heartily and said, "It's okay, so be it, I'll lend you my horse, and if you can win the race, it will also win glory for me." ” Yan Li was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Okay, then thank you, big brother." ” Tubari pulled Yanli to pick up the horse and sign up.
Rock shook his head and said, "This kid got carried away when he heard that there was a horse race.
"When I was in the Puyan tribe, almost as soon as there was a horse race, Yanli would inevitably participate.
Xuan Yue grinned and said, "If Brother Yanli wins, we don't have to spend money and have horses to ride, isn't it just right?"
At this time, the leaders of the three tribes in the field were holding a ceremony, and Dumb and the others couldn't understand it, Dumb's spirit was basically focused on those fragrant barbecues, and eating was always one of the most important things for him.
Although the rock has been in a much more cheerful mood these days, he still has very few words in ordinary times, and after the catastrophe of his wife's death, he seems to be much more stable, and he is now focusing on the three chiefs in the center of the field.
The most excited of the three was Xuan Yue, who kept looking left and right, feeling the atmosphere of the Yalian festival, and she was indescribably happy.
After a while, Tubari came back, "Brother Yanli's riding skills are really good, I see that he is a person who understands horses, and he has picked the best horse in my family."
Let's hope he wins this contest. ” Dumb asked, "Brother Tubari, how is the riding competition going?"
"It's actually very simple, from here all the way to the east, ten miles away, there is a red flag, whoever gets it first and brings it back wins," Tubari said.
Although the rules are simple, it is very difficult to really compete, even if you can get the red flag smoothly, you may not be able to pass the encirclement and interception of other players, so the first person to get the red flag may not be the winner.
I participated in it once five years ago, but I didn't even see the shadow of the red flag, haha. ” Tubari's humility made the three of them have a good impression of him, Dumb has seen Yanli riding, and said confidently: "Brother Yanli will definitely be able to do it, he is the best person I have ever seen in riding." ” Tubari laughed, "I hope so."
The riding competition will start in a while, so I'll take you to have some fun too, there are archery competitions and wrestling competitions over there, let's go and have a look. ” Sure enough, several open spaces have been enclosed in the open field, the largest one has ten arrow stacks, the distance is 500 meters away, and the rest of the place is occupied by dozens of wrestling venues.
The Aran archery competition is based on accuracy, while the wrestling competition is more complicated, anyone can participate, as long as you fall three people in a row, you can participate in the next round until the only winner is determined.
The three of them, led by Tubari, walked into the open space, and due to the large number of people watching the battle, Dumb was afraid that Xuanyue would lose, so he took her little hand and protected her in the crook of his arm.
There are really the most people on this side of the wrestling competition, with three layers inside and three layers outside, and it is difficult to squeeze in.
The smell of cattle and sheep on the body of the Yalian people made it difficult for the three of them to get used to it, and the rock said to Tubari: "Let's go to the archery side, there are too many people here." ” Tubari smiled embarrassedly and said, "Yes, who doesn't want to be a warrior and win the beauty, these young people are like this."
As he spoke, everyone squeezed out of the crowd and came to the archery competition venue not far away.
There are far fewer people here, there is only one black spot on the arrow stack five hundred meters away, not to mention that it is difficult to aim, even if you draw a bow and shoot arrows, it is very difficult to pull a bow that can reach a straight range of five hundred meters, even if you are a person with high fighting spirit.
Therefore, people who generally participate in the competition choose to use a parabola to shoot at the target with a smaller relative pull.
Although there are few participants here, each of them is a master archer, and one by one the feathered arrows pounce on the arrow stacks in the distance like flying locusts.
"There seem to be fewer than 50 people participating in the archery competition this year, with 10 arrows per person in the first round, and the remaining 10 people who shoot the most accurately will come to the second round to compete for the winner," Tubari explained.
It's just a game coming, why don't you go and have some fun?
As he spoke, his gaze fell on the rock.
The rock was tall and powerful, and Tubari wanted to see what these outsiders were capable of.
But, to his surprise, Rock shook his head, as if he wasn't interested in the game.
On the contrary, Xuan Yue's interest was aroused, she kept shaking Dumb's hand, and said, "You can try it, the reward is fifty gold coins." ” Dumb scratched his head and said, "But, but Yueyue, I don't know how to shoot arrows, and I can't get any rewards at all."
"Indeed, he had never even touched a bow, let alone shot an arrow.
Xuan Yue didn't give up and said: "No one is born with everything, how do you know if you can't do it if you don't try, go and try it."
Just have fun.
If it weren't for the fact that people couldn't pull the bow, they would like to try it. ” Tubari smiled: "That's it, little brother, you go and try, in fact, archery is very simple, you just need to aim at the target, don't tremble your hands, and shoot the arrow over." ” Dumb didn't want to participate, but he suddenly remembered how Xuan Yue was aggrieved because he had no money, gritted his teeth, and said, "Okay, I'll participate."
Brother Tubari, please take me to sign up.
His decision immediately made Xuan Yue excited, and he clapped his hands and applauded: "Dumb is the best, you will definitely be able to do it." ” The rock smiled slightly, patted Dumb's shoulder, and said, "Brother, you can pick the heaviest bow later, the heavier the bow, the bigger Larry, the more stable the arrow will be, and the more straight it will be able to keep it." ” Dumb agreed, and hurriedly followed Tubari.
Signing up for an archery competition is very simple, just register a name and get a number.
The Aran people did not embarrass Dumb because he was a foreigner, but encouraged him to participate very much, and there were forty-seven contestants before, so Dumb was the forty-eighth.
The preliminary round has been played for four rounds, and Dumb has finished registering, just in time for the final round.
Tubari pulls Dumb to pick a bow and arrow, and in order to prevent cheating, no contestants are allowed to bring their own bows and arrows in archery competitions.
This is mainly in case someone buys a magic bow at a high price to enhance its accuracy.
Looking at the dozens of hard bows, Dumb couldn't help but froze, not knowing which one to choose.

Tubari was not a contestant and couldn't come over to help him, so he had retreated to Xuanyue and Rock, watching him from a short distance, shouting at him to cheer him on.
Dumb picked up a bow casually, in his hand, the bow seemed to have no weight, he remembered that the rock had just told him to choose the heaviest bow, and suddenly had an idea in his heart, pick up each bow and weigh it, he found that the further back, the heavier the bow became.
At this time, the referee was already a little impatient and shouted: "Forty-eight, hurry up."
The game is about to begin. ” Dumb hurriedly agreed, ran to the last row, and casually picked up a swarthy hard bow and ran towards his target position.
As soon as this bow was in his hands, Dumb felt very satisfied, although the bow was not very large, and it was smaller than other hard bows, but its weight seemed to be heavier than his Tiangang sword, and the bow body and bowstring were dark, and there was nothing special on the surface.
The referee looked at the dumb who ran to the target position in surprise, and said in a flurry voice: "Young man, you don't want to use this dark iron bow."
It weighs 200 pounds, and it's not easy to pull it apart. ” Dumb looked at the hard bow in his hand and said, "I, I'll try it, maybe it will work."
"He had no confidence in his archery skills at all, and could only listen to the rocks.
The referee nodded and said, "Well, I want to open my eyes too, I haven't seen anyone who can pull this bow apart."
"Even the strongest warrior of the Aran clan can only pull this bow out of an arc, the weight of the bow itself is quite terrifying, there is no strength of more than five hundred catties in the hand, it is impossible to lift it flat, as for pulling it apart, no one can say how much strength is needed.
"When the game starts, everyone should shoot ten arrows in their hands within twenty minutes."
Although Dumb was stupid, he had seen Tsukihime shoot arrows, and he knew how to recognize and fill in the strings, pulled out a long arrow from the quiver, put it on the bowstring, stood firm with his legs one after the other, and slowly raised the black iron bow in his hand.
Xuanyue's cheering sound kept coming, and Dumb felt that the blood in his whole body seemed to be boiling.
The weight of two hundred catties was nothing to him, and he easily lifted the dark iron bow in his hand to a position parallel to his shoulder, and his arm did not tremble at all.
Place the index, middle, and ring fingers of your right hand on the bowstring and pull them back slowly.
As soon as he pulled the bowstring, he understood why the referee had just told him that the bow was difficult to pull.
The toughness and hardness of the bowstring were so strong that he could only pull into a half-arc with his strength without using his true qi, but even so, the referee and the other players around him looked at him in amazement, forgetting that they were competing.
Dumb even if he didn't use his true anger, his arms had more than a thousand catties, and he didn't pull the bowstring this time, and he suddenly shook, and a competitive spirit arose in his heart.
With a loud shout, "Open" The true qi of the whole body suddenly burst out, and with the shining white light, the Xuantie Bow was pulled away by him little by little.
Dumb found that the more the bow was pulled, the more strenuous it became, and the life and true qi in his body had been completely mobilized, and the muscles of his whole body were surging with great strength.
However, when the Xuantie bow was pulled to about three-quarters, Dumb's true qi could no longer expand the bowstring.
His left foot slammed into the ground, his body leaned forward slightly, and the potential of his whole body exploded instantly, a stream of hot air rose from the dantian, and the white light was full under the force, and the Xuantie bow was forced into a full moon.
"Good" applause came from all directions, and all the surrounding Aran people cheered, and they all looked at this young man from another race excitedly, this not very strong foreign race actually pulled out the divine bow in their minds, how could they not be surprised.
Dumb's hand was already trembling slightly, after all, he had tried his best, and as soon as his right hand was released, the arrow flew out like a meteor catching the moon, leaving only a faint afterimage in the air.
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at Dumb's arrow target.
However, what they didn't know was that this was Dumb's first time shooting an arrow, and the arrow was successfully shot and kept moving in a straight line.
But the goal has been deviated a lot.
There was a loud "boom", and everyone was stunned to watch as the No. 7 target was blown to pieces.
Dumb was almost exhausted when he shot this arrow, and after the arrow was shot, he felt as if his strength had been drained, and he squatted on the ground, constantly panting, and overdrawing his strength so that he could not recover for a while.
It is simply impossible to shoot a second arrow.
The bow is a good bow, but the arrow is too ordinary, otherwise it wouldn't have blown it up without passing through the stack.
Xuan Yue ran over excitedly, and no one had the heart to stop her at this time.
She grabbed Dumb's hand and said, "Dumb, you're so good, you still say you can't shoot arrows, you see, even the target is blown up."
The rock also followed, he took the dark iron bow from Dumb's hand, stretched out his hand and pulled it gently, he couldn't help but be moved, and exclaimed: "What a strong bow" The referee said with some difficulty: "Player No. 48, the first arrow has zero rings."
Are you going to continue?"
Xuan Yue said in surprise: "You are not mistaken.
Even if the target is blown up, it can't be the zero ring. ” The referee smiled bitterly: "If he blew up his target, I would definitely sentence him to ten rings, but unfortunately, he shot someone else's No. 7 target." ” Xuan Yue noticed that Dumb was in the position of No. 8, and was speechless for a moment.
At this time, Dumb had basically recovered under the effect of his true anger, stood up and said, "I'm sorry, Yueyue, the Larry of this bow is too big, I'm afraid I won't be able to pull the second bow."
"Because he didn't use all his strength when he first came up, his right arm is now a little bit injured.
And even if he had plenty of stamina, it would be impossible for him to pull this hard bow twice in a row.
Xuan Yue looked at Dumb with his head down as if he had made a mistake, and couldn't help but feel distressed in his heart, and took Dumb's hand and said, "It's okay, if it doesn't work, forget it, we don't have to win the game." ” Dumb looked at Xuan Yue's concerned gaze, and resolutely said to the referee: "I abstain." ” His words immediately shocked the onlookers, and the audience was in an uproar, and the referee said: "Little brother, you can try again with a light bow."
Dumb smiled bitterly: "No need, my archery skills are really poor, and it will not be good to shoot at others when the time comes."
After speaking, he took Xuanyue's little hand and ran out of the venue.
Running to the open space where there was no one on the side, Dumb stopped, sat on the ground, and said, "That bow is really hard, the Aran clan is really powerful."
"Okay brother, even I have to admire your strength, that bow is not something anyone can pull open, I tried it just now, and if I want to pull the bow completely apart, it takes at least three thousand catties of strength.

That's something I can't do, and it seems that your skills have grown again.
If my guess is correct, the bow would not normally be used at all. ” Tubari also ran over, gave a thumbs up to Dumb with an excited face, and said, "Little brother, you are really good, the Xuantie Bow is a treasure in our Yalian clan, I didn't expect you to be able to pull it open." ” Dumb blushed, "But my archery skills are so bad, I'm really embarrassed." ” Tubari laughed and said, "It doesn't matter, it's about participating."
The equestrian competition is about to begin, and look.
Sure enough, on the side of the clearing, hundreds of horses stood in one piece, making a look of preparedness.
With a clear whistle, the knights of the Aran clan almost simultaneously urged their horses to step off their horses and rush out.
Yan Li's figure clearly appeared in everyone's sight, and he was riding a jujube red horse.
Yan Li excitedly urged the horse to gallop continuously, rushing towards the east quickly, and when the horses disappeared from everyone's sight, Yan Li had rushed to the top ten.
Tubari said in admiration: "Brother Yanli is really good, my little red is not the best horse in the clan, it is not easy for him to rush to the front." ” Dumb's spirit recovered a little, and said, "Brother Yanli will definitely be able to get the first return." ” Due to the start of the equestrian competition, there were suddenly a lot of spectators running to watch the wrestling competition, and there were fewer people in the empty field, Xuan Yue pulled Dumb's arm and said, "Dumb, Brother Rock, let's take a look at the wrestling." ” The wrestling contest has also entered the heat of battle, with only the last four warriors still in the ring, and the winner of this match will be able to compete in the final game.
The four big men in the venue were all naked, except for one who was shorter, the rest, the tall figures were not under the rocks at all, and the techniques of pulling, pulling, pushing, pushing, hooking, and mixing were exerted to the limit, and they were in a state of stalemate for a while.
With a bang, a player was thrown out by his opponent and fell to the ground and couldn't get up, because they had gone through many matches to participate in the semi-finals, their physical strength was almost exhausted, and once they were thrown hard, it was difficult to get up again.
On the other side, almost at the same time, the slightly shorter fighter also emerged victorious, using a leg takedown to throw his opponent to the canvas and then crush him to win the match.
The referee announced that the two men had entered the final, rested for a while, and waited for the final battle to begin after the equestrian competition.
"Aguti, come on, you must win" A crisp shout sounded from Dumb and the others, everyone looked fixedly, it turned out to be a girl of the Aran tribe, the girl was about eighteen or nine years old, although her skin was dark, but she had a pair of bright big eyes, and in the Aran tribe, she was also a black beauty.
With a happy smile in her eyes, she stared firmly at the first overcomer, who was clearly her lover.
There was a look of intoxication in Tubari's eyes, and he said, "Lan Ying is the number one beauty in our tribe and the daughter of the chief of our tribe.
She grew up with Aguti's childhood sweetheart.
Aguti has been practicing wrestling hard in recent years, just to win the competition today and marry Lan Ying home in a dignified manner.
Aguti is an orphan from a poor family, and if he does not use this method, he will not be able to combine with Lan Ying.
Lan Ying is eighteen years old this year, and whoever wins the final wrestling match will probably designate her as his wife.
So, this is also Aguti's last chance. ” The rock looked at the lively Lan Ying, and said a little stupidly: "I hope they can have a lover and eventually become a family." ” "Look, it's Brother Yanli who is back."
Xuan Yue's exclamation drew everyone's attention.
Sure enough, in the thunderous sound of horses' hooves, Yan Li took the lead, and even did not pull the reins, completely relying on his legs to manipulate the horse under his crotch, carrying a red flag in one hand, and wielding a battle axe in the other, constantly shouting loudly, even the nearest horse was about ten meters away.
Dumb and the others all stood up, shouting Yanli's name loudly, and several horses chasing after him rushed to his side several times, trying to snatch the banner in his hand, but as long as he waved the battle axe in his hand, he immediately scared those people back, and no one dared to get too close to him.
Tubari shouted with joy: "I'm going to pick up Brother Yanli."
With that, he ran in the direction of the finish line.
By this time, Yanli had left all his opponents behind and successfully crossed the finish line and won the championship in the riding competition.
With an excited look on his face, he kept waving the big flag in his hand, and many Aran people surrounded him, constantly shouting.
It seems that he can't come back for a while.
Rock shook his head and sighed, "This kid is still so showy. ” Dumb smiled and said, "Brother Yanli won the championship this time, and there are two horses to ride."
We just need to buy two more. ” Xuan Yue said: "Who said that you want to buy two more, it is enough to buy one, and people can't ride horses, so you have to take me with you when the time comes." ” Dumb smiled bitterly: "But, but my horseback riding skills are not good."
Xuan Yue said: "I don't care, anyway, you can take me with you when the time comes."
Won't you ride slower?"
At this time, the final of the wrestling match had begun, and the girl named Lan Ying squeezed to the front, constantly cheering for her beloved Aguti.
Aguti is similar to Dumb, a little more robust than Dumb, his dark skin is exposed, and sweat is constantly dripping from his handsome face, obviously the previous game has consumed too much physical strength.
His opponent was the stout man who was not very tall, and although he was just as tired, he looked a little more energetic than Aguti.
As soon as the referee announced the start of the match, both men yelled at the same time and rushed towards their opponents.
His arms were entangled, desperately trying to throw his opponent out.
The game entered a stalemate, and the strength of the two seemed to be about the same, and neither could help the other for a while.
Lan Ying looked at Agudi anxiously and kept shouting
