An eight-year covenant
My brother ran over and struggled to lift me up, then whispered a couple of words in my ear. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
My eyes lit up, and I pouted and looked at my brother, "Today is Cheng Renli, Brother Wen will definitely come back, I just want to see him a few more times." ā
Without waiting for his brother to speak, he heard the impatient voice of the Yun patriarch sound, "There are so many people here, crying and crying because they want to lose the face of the Yun family." ā
My brother helped me wipe away my tears and forcibly pulled me to disappear in front of Patriarch Yun.
In the crowded crowd, my heart still couldn't be quiet, for fear that Mrs. He would push away Brother Wen and my relatives, so I poked my head out very unobediently and paid attention to the movements of Mrs. He and Patriarch Yun.
I don't know what Patriarch Yun and Mrs. He said, but I saw Mrs. He leave in a huff.
"I said that this marriage can't be withdrawn, and Yan'er doesn't even believe her brother's words." My brother knocked me on the head.
I answered, and walked around the square blankly.
When my brother saw my move, he was a little overwhelmed, "Isn't the matter of divorce solved, why are you unhappy?" ā
I glanced back at my brother and pulled out a far-fetched smile, "I'm not unhappy." ā
I wasn't unhappy because I never knew what happiness was.
If anyone pins hope on me, it is probably only Mrs. He, Patriarch Yun, Brother Wen and Brother Yun Ling.
Patriarch Yun wanted me to divorce Brother Wen so that he could get the Poor Atlas Dagger.
Mrs. He also wanted me to break off the marriage contract with Brother Wen, probably because she was afraid that I would make the He family a laughing stock and also affect Brother Wen.
Brother Wen and Brother Yun Ling, on the other hand, were the only ones who had ever smiled at me, and I had rarely seen Brother Wen since the summoning ceremony two years ago. The two of them were also the only ones who didn't dislike her poor practice.
Looking at Mrs. He and Patriarch Yun from afar, I suddenly asked, "Brother, do you say they hate me very much?" ā
"What others think of you is someone else's business, don't force yourself because of what others think." Yun Ling held my immature hand tightly, as if telling me that there was still him in this world, and he would give me warmth.
"Brother, I don't want to participate in today's Chengren ceremony." What Patriarch Yun wanted, he had already achieved it, so I didn't need to participate.
Seeing that my brother didn't speak, I glanced at my brother, only to see a surge in his eyes, and only after a long time did I say, "Yan'er must remember that if you meet something you don't want to do, don't do it, no one will ever force you." ā
My heart trembled and I nodded, "One day, I must live as I want." ā
My brother stroked my hair, "There will be a day like this." ā
"Brother, I want to walk around."
The Yun family master limited the scope of my brother and me's activities, I remember that the last time I came out was two years ago, and now I finally seized an opportunity, how could I give up.
In addition, there is such a rule in the Principality of Huaxia that anyone who does not pass the Chengren Rite will be expelled from the country for training, and if there is no one to protect them, it is no different from sending them to death.
Cheng Renli, whether I participate or not, the result is the same. After today, I will be expelled from the country.
Where is the border, the boundary within the Principality of China outside Linlang City.
To the east of Linlang City is the Evil Dragon Mountains, to the south is the Great Desert, and to the northwest is Chilei City.
I once secretly heard the old servants in the family talk about Chilei City, and they compared Chilei City to a hellish existence, because it is closer to the palace of the Huaxia Duke, and the situation of the weak and the strong is much more serious than Linlang City.
I was banished from any place, and I had no way out.
[From the age of eight to sixteen, there is a rite of benevolence once a year
The Cheng Ren Ceremony is a presentation of the results of the year's cultivation (similar to the final exam). Those who fail to succeed once will be expelled from overseas training, and those who fail to pass eight times in a row will be expelled from the Principality of China. ć
My brother probably saw my solemn face, and comforted me softly, "I'm expelled from the country and my brother is with you." ā
I smiled reluctantly.
Because today is the Chengren ceremony, many people go to Sixiang Square to pay attention to the performance of their children, resulting in most people in Linlang City gathering in Sixiang Square, and the streets on both sides seem a little empty.
In this way, it weighed my heart.
I still remember the last time I went out on the street, everyone looked at me with strange eyes, which seemed much more relaxed.
Linlang City is not big, and at ten o'clock in the evening, it happened to go around.
Looking at the burning clouds in the west, my heart became inexplicably nervous, after today......
When I got home, I saw Patriarch Yun sitting in front of the hall with a gloomy face, the atmosphere was a little heavy, and I was even more nervous, and before I could speak, Patriarch Yun said first, "You two go clean up." ā
I wasn't allowed to say anything more, and Patriarch Yun had already left.
Actually, I can't say anything, but those who don't pass the rite of benevolence will be expelled from the country, that's the rule.
My brother and I looked at each other, a mocking smile on our lips, and headed for the door. The room we stayed in was very simple, just two shabby coarse cloth clothes to change and wash all year round, where there was anything to pack.
Seeing that she was about to go out of the gate, she was stopped by Yun Shu, she glared at me, "You are still wearing my clothes." ā
Only then did I remember that in order to make me more decent when I went out, the patriarch took a Yunshu dress for me to wear.
But there are no clothes for me to change into, "I'll go back to my room and change this dress for you, you wait for me." ā
The corners of Yun Shu's mouth curved slightly, and he said in a somewhat arrogant tone, "Your kennel will only make my clothes smell weird, so you take them off for me here." ā
I was a little angry, Yun Shu clearly did it on purpose.
Seeing that I didn't move, Yun Shu glanced at the five big and three thick men around him, and then those men walked towards me together.
They are more burly than ordinary people, and I am afraid to see that their faces are not good.
Just as the men were approaching me, there was a sudden fog.
It was hazy and illusory, and it made me feel like I had traveled through a hundred lifetimes, and after that, I lost consciousness.
When I woke up, I found myself in a strange place.
Thinking of what happened just now, my hand clenched unconsciously, but I found that there seemed to be something in my hand, and when I opened it, it was sand, and he slipped through my fingers.
I'm in the desert right now.
I habitually glanced around, but I didn't find my brother, and I still didn't see a figure in the distance.
I panicked and yelled, "Brother-brother-"
I didn't hear my brother's answer, but I heard an old voice, "The baby's voice is so loud, it's so noisy that my grandfather sleeps." ā
I followed the sound and saw an old man with a childish face half-lying on a dead tree. Just a glance, but I deeply felt the indifference in his eyes, as if he looked at it a few more times, and the sea turned into a mulberry field.
Hearing him call himself grandfather, I was a little stunned, it is said that my mother is very mysterious, and she has appeared twice in the Yun family, "Who are you, why am I here?" ā
"I'm your grandfather, and this baby doesn't even recognize my grandfather." The old man let out a long sigh, and then slammed a shudder on my head.
ć I was stunned and touched my head, depressed whether I had been beaten by the old man, but I saw the old man still lying on the tree, thinking that maybe I felt that something was wrong.
The corners of his lips moved, wanting to say something, but he preemptively said, "You're not here, where should you be?" ā
"I'm supposed to be with my brother, where's my brother?"
"Your brother was sent by me to learn art, he said that after eight years, he would wait for you in the Sixiang Square in Linlang City, and said that he wanted you to study hard." The old man's figure flashed, and he came to me in an instant, "Baby, is it okay for grandpa to send you to a place to study." ā
It took me a long time to digest the old man's words, "I want to be with my brother." ā
The old man shook his head, "The place he studied is not suitable for you to learn." ā
I couldn't understand, "Why?" ā
"It's hard to explain, maybe in the future, when you really learn the skill, you will be able to understand." The old man glanced at me, then tapped my forehead, "Okay, you can cultivate Xuan Qi now." ā
If it was someone else, I would never believe it when I suddenly saw me say such a thing, but this old man in front of me made me feel kind, maybe he was really my grandfather.
"Baby, I remember that eight years later, the Sixiang Square in Linlang City."
The words drifted past my ears, and my eyes were so dark that I couldn't see anything.
Everything in the desert is like a dream.
When I woke up, I heard chattering all around. I suddenly remembered that I had been kicked out by the Yun family, and now I should be living on the street and talking to someone.
I opened my eyes very reluctantly, and what I saw was not the street, but a very neat room.
No, this is supposed to be a dormitory.
There is a dormitory, this should be the academy, it seems that the desert is not a dream.
An eight-year covenant.
Brother, I won't let you down.
