GIỠ HAO JRANG chapter 4

Their fighting was very noisy. When their knives hit against the others or hit again shields it rumbled as thunders. The place between sky and ground where they fought was covered by dusts. They wrestled, punched and kicked other by their feet. They burked others by their huge hands. Daytime as like nighttime they fought without resting. Sometime, GiỡTuKrong and his fellows got advantage but sometime, they lost. Long time had passed but they still didn’t find out the winner.
BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong clawed on GiỡTuKrong’s face by his pointed hard fingernails but all his fingernails were broken while GiỡTuKrong’s face had no scratch. GiỡTuKrong raised his hexagonal rod which was made of brass and lashed on BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong’s face. BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong dizzied and fell on ground he fainted.

Then, DamPhan, GiỡHreng, MaKlen, MaJong talked to GiỡTuKrong:
“Take break a while”, they said, “We will replace you fighting against him”.
“Stay there you all”, GiỡTuKrong replied them, “Stay and see. I still want to fight with him”. Then GiỡTuKrong turned to his enemy.
“Hey BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong! You always say that you are strong and talented as Gods. Now, bring all your magics to fight against me. I want to know if I can or can’t be against you”, said GiỡTuKrong.
Then BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong took out a shield made of brass and silver and a iron spear to fight against. He yelled:
“God in sky. If I was your son, I have to have strength as like gods. This shield will spit out a flame which will chase after GiỡTuKrong and burned him”.
BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong danced and a flame spit out from his shield. The flame’s as big as a mountain. It reached to sky and also spread on ground which chased after GiỡTuKrong and burned him. GiỡTuKrong ran and hid himself in forest but BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong followed him to anywhere he came. GiỡTuKrong ran to mountains, the flame followed him to mountains. GiỡTuKrong went into water, the flame spread out on water surface. GiỡTuKrong kept running and screaming it made the place where he came noisy. Suddenly, GiỡTuKrong remembered his water shield he talked to himself.
“Omg! Why can I forget it”, he screamed, “water shield here. Why I don’t take it out?”
Then GiỡTuKrong took his water shield made of brass and silver out and started danced the dance sent to gods. Then, water spit out from his shield it’s like a stream, extinguishing the flame of BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong.
“Hey BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong!” said GiỡTuKrong, “Do you have anything else? Take it out”.
BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong turned angry, he took out a silver wire and chased after GiỡTuKrong. GiỡTuKrong ran and hid himself in forest, in mountain but he couldn’t the silver wire always after him. He kept running and screaming noisy whole the place he went. GiỡTuKrong ran to mountains, the silver wire went to mountains. GiỡTuKrong went in water, the silver wire move to water. GiỡTuKrong kept escaping and the silver kept chasing after him. GiỡTuKrong kept running till he exhausted. He stopped and the silver wire immediately got him. It automatically tied him. GiỡTuKrong tried to struggle but he couldn’t excape from that magical wire. In a sudden, GiỡTuKrong rememebered his silver knife.
“Omg!” GiỡTuKrong yelled, “Why can be absent-minded like elders? Silver knife here. Why I have to ran?”. Then, GiỡTuKrong reached the silver knife on his ankle and cut of the silver wire. He stood up and continued fighting with BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong.
They punched, burked the other. They wrestled. Daytime as like nighttime, no one lost for the other . Sometime, GiỡTuKrong got advantage and sometime, he lost. The fighting continued taking place and no one in them cared about time.
Then, GiỡTuKrong asked BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong:
“Do you have anything else? Take it out. I want to see your holly strength”.
BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong hurriedly took his silver net out, chased after GiỡTuKrong and threw toward him. GiỡTuKrong ran but he couldn’t escaped the silver net got him in. GiỡTuKrong stayed in silver net thinking he thought how to get out the silver net and then he yelled:
“Omg! I forget, again. Silver knife here, why don’t I remember?”
Then, GiỡTuKrong got his silver knife and cut the silver net in pieces then stood up and continued. They wrestled, punched, kicked and burked the other. Day by day got crossed long time had passed but no one stopped no one won.
BiaChăm was a girl beautiful and talented. Her face’s bright as water surface. She’s beautiful like flowers in forest. She’s younger sister of GiỡTuKrong and was wife of DamPhan. From her home, she saw BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong wrestling, clawing, tearing DamPhan, GiỡHreng, MaKlen, MaJong and GiỡTuKrong, she hurriedly made her way to DakKrong to find her other brother, Giông.
Meantime, Giông was swimg and playing as a child in a river. He parted the stream to become to smaller water lines and then made them be one far away from the place he parted. Where the water lines met they looked like to snakes fighting. Sometime, one pushed the other aside and sometime, it was pushed aside. Giông was very with his play. He watched them whole the day without depressing.
“You lose, you win”, Giông talked to the water lines, again and again. He was too attracted that he forgot to come back home.
 BiaChăm went along DakKrong’s shore but she couldn’t see Giông so he yelled calling his name.
“Giông! Where are you? Come home. Come home Giông”.
Giông was playing, heared someone calling him. He stood up and answered the the person.
“Who? Who call me?” he said, “I am watching the water lines fighting. What do you call me for?”
“Look up to the sky”, said BiaChăm, “BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong is fighting with GiỡHreng, MaKlen, MaJong and GiỡTuKrong and DamPhan, my husband there. You have to help them”.
Giông looked up and saw people fighting. Then he talked to himself.
“What’s going on? Why do they fight?”
Giông was clever and had many magics. He could changed into any shape he wanted so he changed in bony weak person. He staggered footsteps after his sister. They came home first. BiaChăm set a great meal on table for him to eat.
“Give me rice”, said Giông, “I’m only a stupid and raffish guy I don’t deserve to have there delicious things. Give me rice I prefer rice”.
After eating a pot of rice, drink and smoking, Giông talked to his sister:
“I have never fought with anyone since I was born. I scare fighting. Later, I will go, just ask them why they want to kill the other. I don’t dare to fight BokKiekLaDiaKlaKon the person who’s as big as a mountain.”
“BiaChăm look after home. I go now”, he added.
Then Giông set off. He brought machete, a punctured basket on his back. He languidly walked out. He went toward high mountains, deeply in forest. Day by day, he went up and down mountains. At last, he came to the place where GiỡHreng, MaKlen, MaJong and GiỡTuKrong DamPhan and BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong were.

Giông saw BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong as big as a mountain. His teeth were pointed and big as shields. His beard reached on ground with many colors on it, red, black, white and yellow he’s very hairy.
