GIỠ HAO JRANG chapter 12

The fighting of Giông, GiỡTuKrong, DamPhan, GiỡHreng, MaKlen and MaJong, LingNgoa, RơNung and BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong, AtauYangBul turned much more fierce than ever. Though LingNgoa and RơNung were new born children, they were strong and combative. While they were fighting against AtauYangBul, they saw their mothers coming so they dropped their shields, the baskets and knife and ran toward their mothers.
“Father and uncles help us fight to BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong and AtauYangBul. We rest a while”, they said.

Then, DrangMai and BiaVai hugged their son on their chests. They breastfed the children and gave them warm kisses. Later, both LingNgoa and RơNung felt full they turned back where their father and uncle were fighting.
“Hey brother!”, said RơNung to LingNgoa, “Let’s fight them and show our mothers how we are strong and brave”.
Then, they two grabbed their shields (the baskets) and their knives dived into BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong and AtauYangBul. The children were very strong they fought tirelessly against BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong and AtauYangBul. They punched, kicked, wrestled, burked their enemies.
DrangMai and BiaVai stood on groud watching them fighting. They both felt surprising.
“Since the old days, no one have heard or seen the children like them. New born babies, red kin, soft bones can fight and do it better than any adult I know. They are amazing.” said DrangMai and BiaVai.
“Giông! Who is Giông? We want to meet him”, called DrangMai and BiaVai together.
Then, Giông moved toward them. He was so august that DrangMai and BiaVai stood still. They looked him from his head to his feet without blink. Few minutes later, DrangMai and BiaVai started talking.
“I had heard people said that Giông was handsome, powerful and talented, bright like lake surface, gentle like leaves in forest, flexible like spider, and beautiful like yellow bee. And now when I meet you, see you by my eyes, I can say that all things I heard about you is true you are the most handsome, and talented in the world. You are offspring of God”.
“Hey Giông!”, DrangMai started, “We had not seen before. We hadn’t talked to the other. LingNgoa and RơNung are the children who don’t have father. Who did you say they were your sons?”.
“We had never lain on a same bed, had never used a same blanket. Why did you say that we both were your wives? Or because we are bad women who gave birth to children without husbands so you hated and so you could say anything about us”, said BiaVai.
“We both feel so angry. If we were men, we would fight aginst you”, said DrangMai and BiaVai.
Giông laughed as he heard DrangMai and BiaVai said. Later, he stopped and told them about whole the thing.
“Long time ago, I heard people rumored on whole TuKrongVongKrẽm where I live that PơlungHlaAnHao and PơlungHlaAnhẽm have two beautiful girls, the most beautiful girls in the world. Then, one day, I found the way to your villages. I arrived to DrangMai’s village first but it’s too late, at midnight. I didn’t know anyone there and so that I hesitated. I didn’t want people thought that I came to annoy them. Therefore, I stopped standing outside and threw a mango into your millstone, DrangMai. That’s my mango.”
“After that, I left and went to your village, BiaVai”, he added, looking to BiaVai, “When I arrived to your village it’s also midnight and all things happened like before. I stood outside and threw the remaining mango into BiaVai’s millstone”.
Giông’s afraid that DrangMai and BiaVai didn’t understand so he continued.
“Before I three those mango I had prayed God that if I, GiồngTuKrongVongKrẽm, was talented and have power of God, I could made you both follow God’s thought. You both would eat those mangoes and you both would be pregnant. DrangMai would give birth to LingNgoa and BiaVai would give birth to RơNung.”
“Do you remember”, Giông continued, “the nights you couldn’t sleep wanting to eat mangoes. And when you woke up, each of you found a mango in your millstone. You both ate those mangoes and gave birth to the children, two sons as like I’ve just said”, stared at DrangMai and BiaVai, “You both prengant and gave birth to those children because there had my golden water on those mangoes. So the children have their father and you both have husband. It’s me, GiôngTuKrongVongKrẽm. We have never met, had never slept on a same bed but what I prayed came true that mean God want us to be husband and wives.”
“I had planned that I would come to you and asked you both to become my wives after this fighting but this fighting still doesn’t finish while you both have come here. I’m so lucky that I can explain you both all things”.
The anger seemed to disappear after DrangMai and BiaVai heard Giông told. They loved Giông than ever. Though, they didn’t competely believe what Giông said.
“If what you said is true, we are both pleasant. We anly scare that only your joke”, said DrangMai and BiaVai.
Then, they all kept talking. They are happy. Later, Giông told them.
“Don’t worry about our sons. We will take care of them. After this fighting, we will come back”, said Giông.
“Ah! If you can, we need your help”, added Giông, “it’s AtauYangBul he only show us his shadow that we can not hurt him. The fightitng will not have the end if we can’t see his real body. Do you have any idea helping us find out his body?”
“OMG! Here GiôngTuKrongVongKrẽm talented and powerful who don’t know how to fight against ghosts”, screamed DrangMai and BiaVai. Then, continued talking, “all ghosts scare charcoals and gingers. If you fight against them you have to both fight to them and throw charcoals and gingers toward them and then, their bodies will appear”.
Then DrangMai and BiaVai gave Giông a lot of charcoals and gingers.
“You and the others stay here fighting to BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong and AtauYangBul. We and BiaBơngBơh, BiaSơngLong, BiaSơdrăngMatAnar will go and find two sisters of AtauYangBul, BiaBơla and BiaBơlang. We will fight them”, said DrangMai and BiaVai.

Then, they called LingNgoa and SơNung. They breastfed their sons before they left. After that, DrangMai, BiaVai, BiaBơngBơh, BiaSơngLong and BiaSơdrăngMatAnar set off they went for their fight. Their backs gradually disappeared from sight.
