Chapter 416: Strange Dreams
In short, they hate each other, any member of the other race: the elderly, the children, or the women, who regard the destruction of each other as the highest goal of their race, and who in their culture and customs are synonymous with all evil and darkness, and who are convinced of all this, and who have passed on this idea from generation to generation, and who have instilled it in their own children, their children's children......
Brother Ruthless and his partners also grew up in such a family and listened to such stories.
"Gonggong ......" Brother Ruthless silently thought about the tribe that made him gnash his teeth.
He rightly hated these monsters he had never seen before, and had been studying hard to fight them one day, and of course he believed in the same way as the rest of his clan that it was a bad and unforgivable act to have any interaction with those co-workers in any setting outside of combat.
"My third uncle, he really ...... Dealing with co-workers......" Brother Ruthless looked at his partners, expecting to hear a negative answer. But his brothers all nodded affirmatively.
"Ji Kuo not only secretly corresponded with the co-workers, but also leaked the affairs of our clan to them, causing an ambush and even the total annihilation of a caravan of our clan that went to trade with the gods on the ground, including the second and fourth uncles of the poor cicada......" He looked at the poor cicada, who clenched his fists and nodded vigorously.
"Later, he fled, and our people went to hunt him down, but his magic was so strong that many of the people who caught up with him were killed and wounded by him, and it was not until his father himself went out to subdue this traitor! That's how it happened, everyone knows about it, only you ......"
"My mother never mentioned it to me, no wonder I didn't see my third uncle when I went back to my grandfather's house......" Brother ruthless still can't accept it now, the steady, wise, and kind-hearted third uncle in his father's mouth would be a sinner in the clan, and he was killed by his father's own hands, and his father actually killed the third uncle in his own mouth that he respected and loved......
He finally understood why the third aunt was silent, why the two cousins didn't eat with him, and why the elders, who were so doting and indulgent to their children, were a little harsh on the two cousins, Ji Wei and Ji Jun, because they were the sons of sinners.
"Brother ruthless, since my father and Liniang don't tell you, don't let them know that you've heard about it. ”
"Yes, don't betray me. ”
"Don't let us get scolded by adults. ”
After the princes instructed Brother Ruthless, they dispersed, and Brother Ruthless stayed there for a long time before he drank the remaining wine in the bottle in one go and walked back drunk.
"Father. Brother Ruthless hesitated for a long time behind Emperor Zhuan, and finally mustered up the courage to shout.
Emperor Zhen was still flipping through the book while eating, and vaguely agreed: "What are you doing?
Brother Ruthless looked at his father's back, took a deep breath, swallowed back the words in his stomach, and said, "It's okay." ”
"It's okay?" Emperor Zhen raised his head and twitched his nose vigorously, "What does it smell like on you?" he reached out and flicked it on Brother Ruthless's nose, "What are you doing, don't you hurry up and explain!"
"It's just a small bottle...... "Brother Ruthless rubbed his nose and pursed his lips, "and it's the brothers who drank it together." ”
"I thought I didn't know how much your uncle's 'small bottle' contained!hmph!" Emperor Zhuan himself licked his lips greedily, and he squeezed his eyes at Brother Ruthless, "If I want your mother to know, I will definitely peel your skin......!" My son is growing up, and he is almost as good as his father!"
"That's right!" Brother Ruthless also came to his senses, "I'm the son of my father, how can I not drink......!"
"Who is talking to my son about wine?" asked Liniang, who came out of the kitchen with her meal.
"No! I'm saying that we're arrogant and taller, and we're about to catch up with his father!hahahaha......" Emperor Zhuan hurriedly covered up with "haha".
"Yes, yes, it's a son, it's a son, I'll be as tall as my father in the future. Brother Ruthless stood side by side with his father, straightening up to show his mother.
"Hmph, you two don't have to work together to fool me," Li Niang put the food on the table, "Next time I hear my parents complain that Brother Ruthless took the lead in stealing wine and getting drunk and making trouble, I will starve you two for four days, and see if you dare to take wine as the root of your life." ”
"Hungry for four days!" Emperor Zhuan was startled, hurriedly grabbed the chopsticks and picked up the vegetables, while helping Brother Ruthless put them in the bowl, when he saw Liniang looking at him sideways, he hurriedly changed his words, "Eat first, eat more, drink less, come, Ao'er, eat more." ”
The ruthless brother pursed his lips and smiled, while eating the dishes that his parents picked up for him, and at the same time filial piety picked up the dishes for his parents, and immediately put the matter of the third uncle in the back of his mind. It wasn't until after dinner, when he sat on the bed in his bedroom, that the third uncle and what he had done came to mind again.
The third uncle is talented, handsome and extraordinary, as the saying goes, a nephew follows his uncle, and the ruthless brother looks like the third uncle, and the third uncle has a harmonious family, not only has a beautiful wife and young sons, but also has a brother who is affectionate and righteous, why would he betray the family and collude with the co-workers? What can he gain by doing this except to be ruined? Unless he is crazy! How else can he have dealings with the co-workers! The ruthless brother hates the third uncle when he thinks of this.
But after thinking about it, the third uncle was actually killed by his own father! For some reason, the ruthless brother shivered, he threw his shoes and quickly got into the bed.
The third uncle ran into the dream of the ruthless brother in this night, and the ruthless brother saw the third uncle running in front of him in the dream, splashing water under his feet, raising grass branches, which happened on the surface, the third uncle kept running, and behind him, there were many clansmen chasing, from time to time one would rush out of the land to stop in front, and then it would be short-handed, and the flesh and blood were splashed......
Brother Ruthless couldn't hear the sound in his dreams, but he could see all this clearly, and even saw the painful expression on the face of the fallen clansmen, the chilling moment of death.
The third uncle continued to run, and the chasing clansmen were gradually left behind, he ran across a small river, and entered a mountain forest, where the moonlight, the shadows of the trees, and the startled little animals, these scenes that the ruthless brother should have never seen were shaking in his dreams.
Suddenly, he could hear voices. It was the sound of the wind, the shaking of the leaves, and the heartbeat of the ...... "bang", one, two, more and more clear, echoing in the ruthless brother's mind, and the sleeping ruthless brother on the bed was rolling, his hands clutching his chest tightly.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him, it was the Emperor Zhuan, and the ruthless brother exclaimed in his dream: "It's the father." ”
"Father is here!" Brother Ruthless felt a burst of joy in his dream, but ...... It suddenly occurred to him that his father had come to kill his third uncle, and he had come to kill this man who had been desperately trying to escape.
Brother Ruthless's heart tugged, I don't know when he started, he transferred his sympathy to this man, and Brother Ruthless actually began to hope that he could escape.
Emperor Zhuan began to talk to the third uncle, he waved his arms excitedly and opened his eyes angrily. Ji Kuo also began to say something, and walked towards the Emperor Zhen step by step. Brother ruthless can only hear the sound of the wind, the sound of his heartbeat, and he can't hear a word of the conversation between his father and the third uncle, but he sees his own tears, and the tears fall on the grass.
Who's crying? Who's ......
Emperor Zhuan said something loudly again, and he took another step forward, and suddenly bent his knees and knelt down in front of the Emperor. Emperor Zhen drew his sword and pointed at him.
"Father!" cried out the ruthless brother.
At this moment, Brother Ruthless's perspective in his dream changed, before this, he seemed to have been standing by Kuo's side and looking around, looking at everything, so he couldn't see Kuo's face all the time, and suddenly these all turned around, Brother Ruthless felt that he was standing on the side of Kuo and his father, looking at them.
"Father......" Brother Ruthless looked at his father's stern and somewhat hideous face, and felt very frightened, and it took him a lot of effort to turn his eyes to Ji Kuo, who was kneeling on the ground.
This sight startled him. The man kneeling on the ground had the same face as his father, Emperor Zhuan.
"Father......" Brother Ruthless hesitated, he looked at the man with the sword in a panic, and then looked at the man kneeling on the ground, and for a moment he couldn't tell which one was his father.
"Father. He took a few steps up and called quietly, but neither man heard or felt his presence, and was still saying things that you couldn't hear.
The man with the sword looked very angry, he said and handed the sword forward a few inches, and the man kneeling on the ground burst into tears, not only did not dodge, but reached out and grabbed the blade and pulled it forward, so that it was against his chest, and the ruthless brother saw that his palm and chest were bleeding immediately. He said something again, looking at each other with extremely sad and begging eyes.
"Father, spare him. Brother Ruthless couldn't help but plead. "Father, he's the third uncle!"
However, his voice could not reach the ears of the person in the dream, and the Emperor of the Dream suddenly raised his sword and stabbed it down.
"No!" the ruthless brother screamed, watching as the sword pierced into the heart of the man with the face of his father.
"No!Father, Father!no!!" Brother Ruthless screamed and sat up from the bed.
"Dream ...... It's just a ......dream," he wiped the sweat on his head, trembling and exhaling, "Father, father, him!"
He immediately jumped out of bed and ran barefoot towards his parents' bedroom. He was relieved until he saw his parents sleeping soundly on the bed through the crack in the door.
"Yes, the one who died was the third uncle...... He was a traitor to the co-workers, so he was put to death...... It's not my father, it's great, it's not my father......" he muttered back to his room.
He sat on the edge of the bed, his whole body was weak because he was relaxed, and for some reason, tears fell, and he couldn't stop the tears when he remembered the dream that was exactly the same as his father's, but the sad face and the sword that pierced out......
"The portrait of the third uncle......" Brother Ruthless muttered and opened the scroll in his hand.
In the painting, there are two sassy clan boys standing side by side, the one on the right is dressed in priestly clothes, with a slight dimple at the corner of his mouth, he is the father of the ruthless brother, the Emperor Zhuan, the one on the left is slightly taller, very handsome, the fur is as rare as his own dark black, he smiled quietly, one hand hooked the shoulder of the Emperor.
The portrait of Ji Kuo had been destroyed long since he became a sinner, and only this one had been kept because of the presence of his brother-in-law, the Emperor, but it was also thrown into the storehouse, and it was already covered with dust, and the ruthless brother slipped in quietly to get it out from under the debris.
Glancing at this painting, Brother Ruthless breathed a sigh of relief: "Great, the two of them don't look alike at all, but my third uncle and I really look too similar......"
Since he had that dream, he didn't know why he was haunted by the fact that the third uncle in the dream had the same face as his father, and it was really hard to forget, so he did everything possible to inquire and find the portrait of the third uncle.
Now it seems that although the third uncle and the Emperor are indeed seven points similar in their five views, they seem to be brothers, but their expressions and temperaments are by no means the same, and they are not the same as their fathers in their dreams.
And they've known each other for a long time, isn't it......
