Chapter 26: Carving the Snake's Eyes

Previous Chapter

Ten-year-old Nanqing was still dreaming, dreaming that he was sitting in the boudoir to be married and combing his hair, and when he combed his hair, he saw a bird outside the window announcing good news to him, which turned out to be a magpie and chirping. When he was eighteen years old, he heard this bird call, and he desperately wanted to enter the palace to marry Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and asked someone to make a belt of various materials for himself to tie around his waist, and he waited for his father and mother to come to tell him about his family affairs every day.

Liu Bang first killed the White Snake, and then Taoyuan Sanjieyi, and looked at the thatched cottage to find Zhuge Liang out of the mountain to help him fight the world. Although everyone says that Liu Bang is good, he is also thinking of marrying Liu Bang as a concubine. Moreover, in order to stabilize the Han dynasty, the army seized a lot of construction site workers to build a palace for Liu Bang, and the palace was brilliant and majestic, and it was very magnificent. That is the place where Nanqing's seventeen-year-old life ended in the previous life, and in that place where he couldn't laugh, everyone's fastidious master looked at everything he did with the most vicious eyes.

Every time I dream of this, I dream of the palace with carved beams and paintings, and I clearly dream of the splendid curtains. Nan Qing suddenly woke up, afraid that he would really return to that antique bed. Liu Bang in the dream, wearing a crown feather, wearing a red Han royal suit, has a pair of terrible eyes, staring directly at himself.

The young self didn't understand the meaning of that look, but felt endless fear. Now at the age of ten, I finally understood the meaning of that look, which was full of hatred for the South Vietnamese people, as if there was an extra burden to myself. Who is willing to provide so many benefits to themselves without asking for anything in return, who is not relying on their own hard work to earn benefits, there is no free lunch in the world, there is just a greedy heart.

Every time he was awakened by a nightmare, Nan Qing would touch the pillow, which was sewn up by his mother Zhao Feng with a needle and a thread, although it looked very beautiful, and a cross-stitch snake was embroidered on it. The appearance of this snake is a small snake embroidered in the shape of the White Emperor White Snake, with a pair of big eyes and pointed teeth. It is said to be a ten-year-old gift that can bless Nanqing for the rest of his life, and Nanqing is usually reluctant to use it.

I only hugged it when I had nightmares, and I thought to myself, little snake, little snake, you bless me. There was no movement in the South Vietnamese Kingdom at night, and he carefully turned over and straightened his loose hair. Nan Grandma next to her didn't come back for several days, and she felt empty, and only the sound of her own breathing and heartbeat was left in the room. Today is a special day - Qingming Festival, thinking of a family member who has just passed away in the family, General Nan, the father of General Nan, lit a beeswax candle, and the faint light instantly lit up the room. He took out a small carving knife and put down his own pillow snake on a piece of bamboo for a moment.

The squeaky sound woke up Nan Dongliang, who was sleeping next door, and Nan Dongliang listened to the sound and arrived at the door of Nanqing, without pushing the door and going in to take a look. Instead, listen to what my sister Nanqing is doing, probably carving, there is no other sound in the April weather, and I can't even hear the sound of birds. But in May, you can hear the sound of insects on the big trees in some of the fields, and the little burrs of the pimples are all cleaned by themselves. Only the carving of the snake's eyes remains, and it is like the finishing touch to the story. The most difficult thing to carve the snake's eyes is to use a single stroke to carve out the snake's lines and the ferocity of the snake.

These snake eyes reminded her of Liu Bang, who was the emperor, and it may be because the White Emperor who lost his life that he parasitized his snake eyes that lost their light on Liu Bang.

So when others saw Liu Bang, they were always afraid of his angry eyes, and the kind of eyes that killed the enemy were full of snake power.

The snake has been a mysterious creature since ancient times, without the restraint of limbs, with a free body, and has become a creature worshiped by many people. The venom of the snake once made many people stop, just like people's fear of the sky, a few tons of clouds can fly freely under the nose of the sky, people only weigh dozens of pounds, but they are firmly held by the ground, and they can't move.
