Chapter 19: Secrets
"You asked me the secret of the empty cicada?"
In the room, Yakushi Ye Naiyu put down his knife and fork, raised his head, and asked in surprise. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Mingyu nodded, he could never forget the smile on his face when he promised him, and the deep sadness in the depths of his emotionless eyes seemed to be hidden.
Most of the Uchiha clan are delicate people, and they are human beings in two lives, which makes him far more perceptive than ordinary Uchiha people in terms of human sophistication.
Yakushi Ye Naiyu shook his head and said, "The empty cicada has lived in an orphanage since he was a child, and he has been trained by the roots when he grows up, so what is the secret?"
As she spoke, she continued to wash her knife and fork.
"I think you know what I mean, Dean. Mingyu said in a low voice.
Medicine Master Ye Naiyu's hand paused, turned his head, and saw Mingyu's serious face.
"Why, she gives me the feeling that she will soon be in the world?" Mingyu stared into the eyes of the pharmacist Ye Naiyu, and said in a deep voice.
Yakushi Ye Naiyu sighed, put down the knife and fork, wiped his hands with a rag, and nodded: "I know, you come with me." ”
She led Mingyu to a room, and saw the front of the room from the side of the window.
Yakushi Ye Noyu closed the door and said, "You tell me first, how can you have such thoughts?"
Mingyu stood in front of the window, looked at the laughter scene in front of the house, and turned around and said, "Intuition!"
So far, he has only seen the cicada smile twice, and it is extremely similar, both of which are faint smiles.
The point is that the first time she showed this kind of smile was before she died, and it was difficult not to have any bad associations when she thought of her usual attitude of not lingering in everything.
Yakushi Ye Naiyu said: "Your intuition is right, the empty cicada really doesn't have a few years to live." ”
Mingyu narrowed his eyes: "Why?"
"It's her secret, and I didn't want to tell it, but since you asked, I'll tell you. Yakushi Ye Naiyu sat down and said, "You also know the blood inheritance limit of the empty cicada, right?"
"She said it was called 'cicada'. ”
Yakushi Ye Naiyu nodded and sighed: "Awakening the Blood Inheritance Limit, for ninjas, means an increase in strength, a gift from God, and a legacy of ancestors. But for the "Jade Cicada Clan", it means the beginning of disaster. ”
"Could it be?" Mingyu's heart jumped.
"That's right, the so-called 'cicada birth' means that once the blood inheritance limit awakens, it is like a cicada burrowing out of the ground and can only have a short life. Yakushi Ye Naiyu sighed, "From the day the Blood Inheritance Limit awakened, the awakened began to move towards the end of their lives, and according to records, the Jade Cicada Clan has never had an awakened person who can live to be thirty years old. Because of the short lifespan, now only the empty cicada is left in the jade cicada clan, which is really a curse from the heavens to the jade cicada clan. ”
Yakushi Ye Naiyu raised his head and said, "And the situation of the empty cicada is even worse, she can only live to be twenty years old at most. ”
Mingyu was stunned: "Why is this?"
"Let me tell you about the awakening process of 'Cicada Birth' first-"
Suddenly, a cicada chirp interrupted Yakushi Nonoyu's words.
The two looked up in amazement, only to see that at some point, there was a zhi lying on the window, with a pair of big black compound eyes, looking at the two.
Pharmacist Ye Naiyu shook his head and said, "I was still discovered by her, and if I have a chance in the future, you can ask her personally." ”
Mingyu was silent, followed the pharmacist Ye Naiyu out of the room, and when he was eating, he didn't even dare to look at the empty cicada.
During this period, he wanted to ask the empty cicada to talk several times, but when he saw her indifferent look, it was difficult to speak.
When he said goodbye, he was like a thief who had been expelled by his master, timid and embarrassed.
All the way silently, the slender figure with long purple hair has been lingering in my heart, and it can't fade away for a long time.
She can only live to be twenty years old, that is, the time left for her in this world is only six years at most.
And he wanted to deprive her of happiness and freedom, of her right to enjoy the rest of her short life, and to spend the last six years of her life in the dark, sinful, cold roots for his own sake.
In fact, she could have refused.
Thinking of this, a deep sense of guilt and guilt arises spontaneously.
A gust of night wind blew, and it was obviously the height of summer, but Mingyu felt a biting cold.
Mingyu thought about it all night, heaven and man were at war, hesitating, on the one hand, it was a major event related to the ninja world, the tragedy of the lives of the three people, and on the other hand, the indifferent expression of the empty cicada, the two constantly exchanged in his mind, making him sleepless all night.
Early in the morning, when the sky was bright outside the window, the door was pushed open, and Mingyu turned back, it was Keiko.
Keiko was taken aback when she saw him looking haggard, and asked, "Mingyu, haven't you slept all night?"
Mingyu nodded.
"You kid, what's wrong?"
Keiko held his hand with one hand, touched his forehead with the other, let him lie on the bed, sat on the edge of the bed by himself, and said gently: "If you have insomnia because of something, tell your mother." ”
Mingyu rubbed Keiko's calloused hand and said softly: "Mom, if there is a girl, she has been lonely all her life and has never enjoyed a day of happiness, and now she only has six years left to live, and she wants to live for herself." But there is a person, in order to avoid a greater tragedy, and for the sake of the whole world, who wants her to stay in the dark world, you say, is this person doing the right thing?"
Keiko touched his face and smiled, "That person did the right thing, but it wasn't fair to that girl, I think, he should talk to her about it." ”
Mingyu felt her gentle touch and said with a smile: "Thank you, Mom, I think so too." ”
"Figured it out, then go to sleep. Keiko smiled gently, got up, covered him with a quilt, closed the curtains, and gently closed the door.
Mingyu watched the door close, lifted the quilt, carefully opened the window, bit his finger, and channeled a small green snake.
"Tell her to see her or leave. ”
The little green snake nodded, climbed up the window, and disappeared into the grass.
Mingyu closed the window and slipped back into the bed to make up for sleep.
When he woke up, the day was empty, he washed up, returned to the room and got dressed, saw the red brocade box and forehead guard on the table, sighed, and muttered, "Let's do this first." ”
If there is any famous family in Konoha that can compete with the heyday Uchiha after the retreat of the Thousand Hands, it is the Hyuga clan. It is precisely because of the competition between each other that the two major pupil families of Konoha and the Uchiha and the Hyuga family have not dealt with each other for many years.
Therefore, as a member of the Uchiha clan, especially a "prodigy" who is famous in Konoha and eclipses many geniuses, Mingyu's appearance in Hinata's family residence is of course a very strange and eye-catching thing.
asked Kiyori Xiangyangsuke's home, and along the way, Mingyu was not less pointed at.
He didn't care, he had already been mentally prepared for this before he came, despite the thousands of fingers, thousands of eyes, and discussions behind his back, he was still calm, unhurried, and enjoyed the street scenery along the way.
In the increasingly modern Konoha, the most traditional atmosphere is not the Uchiha, but the strict family hierarchy of Hinata, the entire Hyuga family's architecture, all reveal a rigorous and simple style, the adult kimono, the etiquette of the behavior, people feel like returning to the Heian period of Japan.
Finally, his footsteps stopped at the door of a house, and the black silk hanging in front of the door made his chic face solemn. (To be continued.) )
