Chapter 5: Sleepless in the Tomb
The sparrow left, and the tomb next to the small thatched hut was exposed to the stars. Next to the tomb was an open coffin, but nothing in the coffin was empty, and the coffin lid had flown to one side.
Ye Ning's eyes stood next to the coffin and looked at the dents in the coffin, which were left behind by the heavy blade. There was no corpse gas generated by the decay of the corpse in the coffin, which more affirmed Ye Ning's speculation.
Gently stroked the mouth of the coffin, which was built in three months when he was 11 years old. He did not bury his mother but buried his infinite sadness when he was a teenager.
Leaning on the tombstone and looking at the coffin in front of me, 16 years of memory emerged in the brain bit by bit. Did the mother really die? His mother has a reason not to explain to herself. Ye Xin must have made his excuse for doing so, but she is nothing...
Ye Ning's eyes have never hated the night Xin, let alone complained about his mother, because all the resentment has already been resolved at the first moment. He has no resentment, and resentment is not his nature.
But he is still a little unwilling. He doesn't understand what he is. He doesn't know anything but has to bear everything. All this can't be changed and can only accept it, but how can he accept it?
Ye Xin knew a lot, at least more than Ye Ning's eyes, but he still did not go to Ye's house to find Ye Xin's impulse to ask all this. In addition to his pride, he also had a stubbornness. Perhaps it was this stubbornness that made Ye Ning's eyes come to this point today.
He took out two daggers with weak cicada wings from his arms, which was one of the three things his mother left to him and his most cherished one, because this was his birthday gift at the age of 12, and the only birthday gift he received in his childhood.
Gently touched the dagger, slowly looked up at the coffin and closed his eyes on the tombstone. Maybe he was asleep...
The next morning, Liu Chexin came. Liu Chexin, who had thought that Ye Ning's eyes had left, was stunned when he saw him, and then turned his eyes to the open coffin and the tomb exposed to the sun.
Liu Chexin sat beside him all morning without saying a word or even moving. At noon, she left because she knew that someone would come.
The little fox came. The little fox was not as charming as its name, but more pure. The fox knew that Liu Chexin often came to stare at night in the morning, and in the afternoon it belonged to Qi Dongcao, so she only came to the thatched hut at noon.
The fox also saw the tomb, saw the coffin, and saw the night staring against the tombstone. The fox did not say anything but sat behind him and quietly stared at his back until noon passed...
In the afternoon, Qi Dongcao came, and also did not speak or move. He also accompanied the night to stare quietly all afternoon, but there were a little more tears in her eyes...
At night, the jackal came, and the jackal was injured. It was left after fighting with his father last night. Originally, he didn't want to come because he was a man, but it was because he was a man that he came ghostly. It was not until he reached the foot of the mountain that he suddenly felt anything was wrong.
In the night, the jackal sat with the night staring eyes all night, and the water did not come in; the night staring eyes did not close once; the night staring did not move once; the night staring did not say a word.
What does Ye Ning's eyes know? At least he knew that he still had to live. In the first 16 years, he was so tired that he was almost exhausted. He forgot to pursue and forget to appreciate the flowers and grass around him, and forgot to miss the people and feelings around him.
He knew that he still had to go to the War College and go there to find a favorite wife. He knew that he would come back once in seven years. He knew that he would find an opportunity to see his grandmother during this period. He knew that he did not need to think about many problems and that he had to face many difficulties that he did not need to face.
It's getting brighter. Today is the day of testing in the clan, but this year will be wonderful because of him, because he is the heir of the Ye family, the first heir, and today is the day of his adulthood, 16 years old.
On this night, his eyes finally became an adult. Maybe he is still a boy in the eyes of many people, but in a sense, he is not a child but a man.
The sparrow is coming, because today's test still needs a sparrow, and only the night eyes will say the name, because ordinary people call him Phoenix, especially today's adult name will also be changed to Phoenix.
There is only one phoenix that will never die. When today comes, Phoenix's father will no longer be called Phoenix, and from today on, the sparrow will no longer be yesterday's sparrow.
The test is held in the afternoon, because the morning is a carnival day. Today, there is actually a day called New Year's Day, which is a festival left from the era of great change.
The Phoenix and the jackal sat with the night staring eyes until noon. During this period, the jackal also did not drip water, but there was no complaint at all. He is a jackal who is more cruel to people. For the sake of his brother, he needs to bear it and can't bear it. This is a jackal, a real wolf.
At noon, Ye Ning finally stood up and made a fire after entering the house. He began to cook. He could not eat and bear it. Even if there was a test in the afternoon, he could still stick to it, but he didn't want to let his brother suffer with him.
It's a matter whether the brother does it or not. Whether he can do it or not is another matter. Although the brother is not a wife, it is not used to hurt.
After cooking, Ye stared and sat in front of the coffin with the wolf and the phoenix and ate it, as if he didn't care that there was a dug tomb next to him or an open coffin next to him.
"Don't be surprised no matter what I do in the afternoon. In addition to giving them a gift today, I also need to know something to know. Maybe it doesn't matter, but it should always let me know. By the way, help me take care of the little fox in the future..."
The jackal said while eating, "The little fox is not stupid. On the contrary, it is very smart, but she has been following us, so there is no need to worry about her. In fact, she is very strong, rarely crying and tears."
After eating, the jackal handed the bowl to Ye Ning's eyes and then said, "One more bowl. I was chased by my father all night the day before yesterday and didn't dare to go home for dinner."
Phoenix directly knocked his bowl into the jackal's bowl, and then walked into the hut. Seeing this, the jackal smiled and ate it without saying anything.
Ye Ning's eyes has done a lot, which is absolutely enough for three people to eat. Ye Ning's eyes eat very slowly, because he doesn't give himself time to digest food, but the jackal is exactly the opposite. He is soon afraid that the meal will be gone in the next second...
When Phoenix eats, it is pleasing to the eyes whether it is fast or slow. Of course, one in front of him is night eyes, and the other is a jackal, so he is ignored. This may be the Phoenix. If it weren't for the night staring eyes and the jackal, the wolf didn't care about his perfection at all. If the fox only regarded him as his brother, they would not have become friends, let alone brothers.
Ye Ning said that Phoenix is difficult to make friends, but she can find a brother.
After the three people finished eating, Phoenix stood up in the air and curved towards the house and then circled back to its previous position. Then the thatched hut burned in an instant. Ye stared and went to the coffin and said to Phoenix, "Let's burn them together. It's ironic..."
Phoenix lit the coffin and clapped his hands. The two ghost wolves jumped out of his arms. The jackals explained twice and said, "Let's go, they won't let the fire burn to the bottom of the mountain."
Three people went down the mountain, climbed another mountain, and came to Yejia after coming down the mountain, because this year's family test was held in Yejia, the reason was nothing more than staring at night.
The annual test is held. The participants are 16-year-old children. Everyone will play one game. They don't need to win but need to be worthy of themselves, but as the first heir of any family, they have to play four games, one game.
If you lose at most in four games, the Presbyterian in the family can vote to abolish his position as the first heir. Of course, this is based on the premise that there is a boy who is smaller than the first heir and can defeat him.
Ye Ning's eyes are only funny about this kind of test. When must the development of a family be inherited by Wufu? Leading a family to victory and prosperity can never be led by one's own strength. The four families are very strong. Even if they are placed in the mainland, they are not ordinary people, but they are still extremely weak in the face of a country.
The country not only has the backing of powerful people, but also has the economy and talents. The foundation of the war is politics and economy, and then force can never be a hero unless there is a huge difference between force.
In troubled times, force naturally occupies an absolute position in this still turbulent world, but war is never a man's war. No one can ignore the quantitative gap, and no one can dominate the world only with their own powerful force.
Ye Ning has read a lot of books. Although he had no time, energy and no books when he was young, he read books that Phoenix couldn't compare with 16 years after his mother left.
He can't read the book without forgetting it. Maybe he can read it at a glance but only knows its general idea. At some times, after a few days, he stared at night and didn't even know what was written in the book, but when he read the book, he began to refine his thoughts and began to learn how to deal with it.
When fighting, he rarely thinks about what he should do, but what he should do, if he faces Can Ye last time!
Knowledge does not have to be remembered, and wisdom will not be linked to knowledge. Of course, in any case, it can't be that Ye Ning's eyes are smarter than many people, at least smarter than his opponents. Isn't that enough?
Three people walked into the martial arts arena and casually found a seat to sit down. They didn't care about the eyes of the people around them or the movements of their opponents. For the night staring, even if the power of awakening could not be used, it was enough to deal with these people now!
