Chapter XXVII
At night, the clouds were thick and the moonlight was hazy, and the whole sky seemed to herald some kind of gloom. Konoha Village in the night is as quiet as a clear pond, and there is not a single ripple in the night. However, at this time in Konoha Hospital, Ling's brother Uchiha Rei was quietly waiting in front of a hospital bed.
Today is the third day, but the younger brother, who is almost omnipotent in Lie's heart, was suddenly sent to the medical class unconscious, and it was Ling's teacher, the third generation Hokage, who gave it away.
There was no explanation for how Ling was in a coma for three generations, but he left in a hurry after explaining a few words of good care, while Lie was sleepless and gathered around the bed to take care of his younger brother
Who hurt Ling? Why was it the third generation Hokage who sent Ling to the hospital? What happened in the meantime? Countless questions lingered in Lie's heart. However, Ling had been in a coma for three days, and there was still no sign of waking up, so Lie could only suppress the anger and suspicion in his heart and take care of his younger brother with peace of mind.
Outside the window, the night was hazy, and Lie's heart was like the night sky, gloomy and obscure.
"Hmm," a small moan overflowed from the hospital bed, which startled Lie suddenly.
"Ling!"
Seeing his younger brother gritting his teeth and sweating coldly, as if he was suffering from incomparably painful pain, Hou Lie hurriedly gathered around the bed and called out his brother's name. However, Ling was still drowning in the nightmare that haunted him as if he hadn't heard it. After a long time, Ling's eyelids jumped wildly, and he opened a gap very reluctantly.
"Ling, are you awake?!" Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Lie" Ling was slightly surprised and puzzled, as if he was slightly shocked by the person he saw, and he didn't seem to be able to figure out the situation in front of him, "This is it"
Sensing Ling's doubts, Lie opened his mouth to explain, "This is the medical class, and you have been in a coma for three days!" How does it feel? Although he asked about Ling's state, it was clear from Ling's tightened eyebrows and his teeth that seemed to be clenched in pain that his younger brother was not in a good state.
"Have you been three days?" Ling's expression was dumbfounded, as if he hadn't figured out the situation in front of him yet.
"yes." Lie sighed and said, "It's the medical class that Hokage-sama sent you, as for why you became like this, he didn't" Lie's words were not finished, and it was impossible to say the words accusing the Hokage lightly, even if it was just a little bit of accusation.
Did Mr. Ape Fei send me?
His head was messy, Ling felt as if he hadn't closed his eyes for many days and had not rested that kind of complete fatigue, and the pain and exhaustion in his body also made him subconsciously want to continue to close his eyes and sleep well. But Ling, who had already figured out the form in front of him a little, didn't dare to sleep, he was afraid, afraid that his closed eyes would not be able to open again!
Why doesn't the weasel kill himself? In that case, he could have taken it lightly, and it was Mr. Ape Fei who sent me to the medical class! How did he know I was hurt? Is Itachi suing him or is it some other ninja
I couldn't guess what was going on, Ling's irritable expression made my brows tighten even more! And the exhaustion of his body also made him seem to be unable to bear it at any time and slept here.
"Lie, help me up." Knowing that this was the sequelae of Yueyu's attack, Ling forced himself not to sleep.
"Get up?! But Ling, your body"
"Help me up!" Before Lie could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Ling, and Ling's tone was gloomy.
"Okay." After being silent for a while, Lie finally helped his younger brother up. He put down a pillow on the hospital bed, and Lie helped Ling to sit on it.
"Pour me a glass of water, it's cooler" Ling's eyes were astringent, and Ling's nails were tightly pierced in his palms to force himself to cheer up.
Hearing this, Lie was silent, glanced at Ling hesitantly, and poured a glass of cold water and handed it to Ling
And after Ling Ningshen glanced at the water cup, he seemed to be very difficult to raise his arm to take the water cup, and as soon as he raised his hand, he splashed a cup of cold water on his face!
"Ling?!" Lie looked at his younger brother in shock.
"Don't worry about me," Ling closed his eyes and breathed deeply, feeling the water on his face drip down his neck and into his clothes. The cold thrill shook his spirits.
Ling You watched your younger brother close his eyes and enjoy the cold appearance, and his heart twitched with pain.
When the cold feeling on his body subsided, Ling gently opened his eyes and looked at Lie, and said in a gloomy tone: "What time is it?" ”
"Now?" Lie glanced at the alarm clock on the table, "It's already one o'clock in the morning"
"Early in the morning" Ling closed his eyes and whispered, his sunken eyes seemed to represent some kind of sinking thinking, mood, and decision.
"Lie, I'm a little hungry." Looking out the window, Ling said lightly. The calm tone seemed erratic, mixed with an ungraspable melancholy.
"Hungry? Then I'll go home and bring you something to eat! Lie was stunned for a moment, and then spoke happily. Hungry means that Ling's body is fine, his mind flashed, and he smiled.
"No need." Ling shook his head, his lowered eyes flashing an unpredictable light, "I remember that there is a steamed bun shop in the north of the medical class, and he closes very late, you can go and help me take a look." ”
"Okay." Lie nodded in response, Ling Gang's expression and eyes made him feel uneasy. After closing his eyes and easing his strange thoughts, Lie immediately opened the door and left. And at the moment when Lie left the room, Ling looked at the door with a dull expression, his eyes were dead and gloomy.
"I'm sorry, Lie"
I didn't rewrite my fate, the fate of the Uchiha. In the face of Itachi's failure, there is no hope for my future at all, and now I am afraid that there is no other way for me to leave Konoha like a lost dog. Maybe even if I escape the massacre of Konoha this time, I have no hope of surviving the Konoha elders in the face of the future Xiao! If I die in the future no matter what, I hope I can face it without any worries, and Lie, you are the only concern I have now! I'm not your real brother, I'm not the real Ling, and I'd rather let me do it than you die at the hands of Konoha
Facing the gloomy night outside the window, Ling slowly clenched his palm
At this time, Lie didn't know what kind of torment his younger brother was going through. Walking alone on the deserted street, the cool breeze of late autumn made Lie feel his body tremble unconsciously.
Regarding the steamed bun shop that Ling said, Lie was not in a hurry to see if it was still open. He knew Ling, and knew that Ling didn't want to eat, what Ling wanted was to be quiet. As usual, he is responsible for everything by himself, and he will not confide in anyone, including his brother.
A lot has happened in the past few days, and the entire Uchiha clan is shrouded in a depressing atmosphere, as if a fierce spark will erupt inadvertently.
"Whew!" Taking a deep breath of the night's cold air, Lie shook his head and waved away his complicated thoughts. That's not what he's supposed to worry about, is it?
"Uchiha Ree!" Just as Lie was walking down the street in a complicated mood, two figures wearing robes and masks suddenly appeared in front of him and stopped him.
"The Shadows?" Lie wondered, what are you looking for me to do at this time? Could it be Ling's business?
"Are you Uchiha Ree?!" Looking at Lie's stunned appearance, one of the shadows asked a little impatiently.
"Yes, I am." Glancing at the dark part of the opening, Lie didn't understand why the other party had such an impatient tone.
"Good." Hearing this, the two ninjas nodded and looked at each other, and then before Lie could react, he suddenly pulled out his sword in the shadows and stabbed at him!
"You" Lie was shocked, he didn't understand why the shadows were attacking him! However, just when Lie was shocked, there was already a sharp pain from behind his back that pierced through his body.
"Hmm!" Looking at the long knife that suddenly pierced the body through the chest from behind, Lie's face was full of disbelief.
"I'm sorry, Uchiha genius brother." The dark part, who had been impatient before, stepped forward and stood in front of Lie's body, "Don't blame us, if you want to blame, blame the Uchiha clan for being too ambitious!" ”
As soon as the dark part's words fell, the ninja attacking behind Lie suddenly pulled out the long knife that stabbed into Lie's body, and warm blood flowed down the wound.
"Mission accomplished!" Two, no, three shadows glanced at each other and then stepped away gently. The unhurried pace did not show the slightest concern for what they had just done.
"Ahem!" Coughing up a mouthful of liquid that couldn't tell whether it was blood or saliva, Lie breathed deeply, and the pain in his body seemed to lessen a little with his movements. At this moment, the originally dense dark clouds slowly dispersed, and the clear moonlight was scattered on the earth, on the road, and on the body.
"Ling" read softly, Lie quietly looked at the moon in the sky, his eyes fluttering,
"Don't go, I know it's you" After saying this, Lie clearly felt that the footsteps of the voice that could no longer be heard in the distance were light, and then there was no sound at all.
For a long time, just when Lie thought that the other party had left, and closed his eyes helplessly, a figure stood quietly in front of him, and under the silver moonlight, the figure of the figure in the blood-red pupils of the three rounds of magatama turned strangely.
"Ling" Lie lay on the ground, looking up at the figure slightly, and even the panic and disbelief in the figure's eyes were also in his eyes.
"Lie! Why" Looking at the same blood-red as him in Lie's eyes, Ling murmured in disbelief.
Lie has a writing wheel?! Then why didn't he crack my illusion? Why?!
Looking at the shock in his younger brother's eyes, the ashes, and the incomprehensible expressions, Hou Lie hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, and bright red blood flowed out along the arc of his face.
"I'm finally able to help you"
Help Ling? Yes, Lie was relieved to be able to help Ling. All along, Ling was always carrying everything alone, and he didn't know what pressure his younger brother's still immature shoulders were bearing on him that he couldn't see! The powerless Lie can only watch except watch. But now it was different, and he was sure that his incompetent self could finally help his brother!
"Help me?" Lie took a step back. He didn't understand what Lie meant by help, and he didn't understand why Lie, who had the Sharingan Eye, was still confused by the illusion he had just had! Whether he was confused, or was willingly deeply involved, Ling didn't understand.
"The stone slab of the Uchiha family" was a little muffled, his breathing became rapid, and the unknown cold slowly invaded the young body.
"Lie!" Ling called his name in amazement, and his body subconsciously squatted down, holding the palm of the hand that was gradually cold.
"Huh." Feeling the temperature in his hand, Lie smiled lightly and continued to speak: "That slate has never forbidden the clansmen to watch and read, but the content in it will be different due to the relationship between pupil power, two years ago after you left, I awakened the writing wheel eye, and after that, the content on the stone slab was also changing, until three days ago after you fell into a coma, I saw the eternal kaleidoscope writing wheel eye record"
Three days ago? That is to say, Lie had a kaleidoscope writing wheel eye at that moment?! Shocked by his thoughts, Ling's wrist holding Lie's palm suddenly tightened uncontrollably.
Why? Why did Lie, who had a kaleidoscope writing wheel, deliberately be attacked by the illusion I had just pretended to be in the shadows? Why did he do that?!
Indeed, Ling didn't understand. He didn't understand why Lie would do this. Because he didn't understand the relationship between the brothers, just like Itachi did for Sasuke, just like what Lie did for Ling now. When Ling left two years ago, Lie, who felt unable to help Ling, felt the meaning of loss, the dangerous world, the dangerous ninja world, the dangerous Konoha was taking away his younger brother step by step, and the Lie who was afraid of losing awakened the Sharingan! And three days ago, after watching my younger brother being taken to the medical class without knowing his life or death, the feeling of loss became even stronger.
Riku is not a fool, maybe he is not as good as some powerful ninjas in terms of ninja talent, but in the tense atmosphere of the Uchiha clan, he still feels that danger is approaching! At this moment, Ling was taken to the medical class without knowing life or death, and seeing his younger brother lying on the hospital bed without blood, Lie had never experienced the meaning of loss so closely! Konoha is changing, the people around him are changing, the Uchiha clan is also changing, and these changes will make him lose Ling, his only younger brother, after all! Entangled by this sense of loss, the spirit awakens the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye!
The content on the stone tablet of the Uchiha clan will be different depending on the strength of the pupil, and the spirit who awakened the kaleidoscope saw the record of the eternal kaleidoscope writing wheel.
Yes, I used to be very useless and couldn't help my brother at all, but now it's different, these cursed eyes will be the light of my brother's future! This kind of brotherhood that can sacrifice a qiē for the sake of blood relatives Ling doesn't understand, but Lie is like a ferret, and he feels it deep in the bone marrow.
"Lie, answer me?! Why are you doing this?! Seeing that his eyes began to loosen, Ling roared in a trembling voice. Lie has a kaleidoscope writing wheel, why doesn't he come to fight his own idea and do it instead? Ling didn't understand
"Ahem!" Wheezing violently, Lie grabbed Ling's hand tightly, there was no explanation, no advice, just confidence!
"You're a genius, Ling! Even if there is no kaleidoscope now, it will definitely be in the future."
Then I'll be able to help you! Not having the strength to finish the last words, Lie shouted in his heart.
"Lie"
The temperature in his hands is gradually getting colder, but the appearance of Lie's smile is still the same as in his memory. Looking at Lie's smile, Ling felt that life was so ironic! Just when he gave up a qiē and was about to bury himself with the flow, he kept denying it, but his brother, who had always rejected it in his heart, made such a sacrifice for him!
Lie's smile was still there, but the heartbeat and gentleness had disappeared, and that smile made Ling feel that meaning!
Lost meaning!
He has always denied it, and has always emphasized the irony of being a traverser, an orphan!
At this moment, Ling finally knew that he had lost Lie and his brother
"Ahh!!!hh
pounced on Lie's body, and Ling howled and cried. Tears mixed with blood, or some kind of burst of the embankment
