The singing and laughter continued, the crowd singing and dancing, and the lively and noisy conversation, I bowed my head and kissed the non-existent Dudu in reality, and raised my head to drink a glass of wine in front of me:

"It's time to wake up!"

I closed my eyes, sighed, and smashed the cup to the ground.

With a bang, the originally soft earth instantly became a hard masonry, and the earthen bowl that was originally open has also become a delicate porcelain bowl.

It's still in the curtain, but in this curtain, there is an extra table, a pot of wine, and a bowl, and the bowl was broken by me, but the pot is still in good condition.

The flickering candle flames, the dim shadows, the flickering yellow light, I smiled in a trance, very bitter kind, raised my hand and dragged the pot of wine over, raised my head and poured it into my throat.

This wine is really familiar, it is exactly the same as the fruit wine brewed by A-Niang in the tribe, at first taste, sweet and sour, but in the throat, it is bitter and dry, and after it reaches the stomach, it is hot and tormenting.

I don't know much about drinking, because I'm not very familiar with alcohol, and every time I drink, I get red and hot all over my body, and when it's serious, I even get a big patch, a big red rash, the kind that can't go away for a few days.

But today, I just want to drink. Even if it's uncomfortable to death, even if I have a rash all over my body, I still want to drink it.

After drinking, and sitting for a while, I got up again, staggered, and continued on.

This time, perhaps because of the effect of alcohol, my body turned out to be uncontrollable, staggering, stumbling all the way forward.

In a trance, I stepped into a halo again, and here, I just fell asleep groggily.

In my sleep, I heard a woman humming a ballad in my ear:

Little doll, crying, crying doll?

Doll crying, crying mother, mother, I don't want to grow up!

These two sentences have been repeated, repeated until I fall asleep and wake up, and it still does not stop.

I don't know how long it took for me to hear the woman's scream, and then the wind whistled in my ears, and before long, the beast barked, and the screams of people, and the noise mingled into my dreams.

I listened to all this, gradually moving away, and finally, it was my familiar voice, the voice that belonged to my aunt.

"Let's take the child away, what should we call him in the future?"

"Tranquility, it's called tranquility!"

It's my daddy's voice.

"Why Anning?"

A-Niang asked.

"Because the mountain god has given instructions, you see!"

Daddy said something with certainty.

Mountain gods, are there gods in this world?

One sentence suddenly woke me up and sat up from my sleep.

My head was a little painful, and I covered my head as I looked and groped around me, and my eyes were dry and painful, as if it had been open for a long time and had not blinked once.

It hurts, my eyes seem to have been poked by something, and when I just woke up, it was still dark all around, and I couldn't see anything at all.

It took me a long time to recover from the darkness.

This time, the curtain finally disappeared, and I lay directly on a mat, which was spread in the middle of the palace, and at the top of my head was a statue of a tiger's head.

The mat was spread directly on the ground, just in the middle of the main hall, surrounded by a long series of tables and futons, which were full of people, and the tables were full of delicious food and wine.

Directly in front of me, I saw a gorgeously dressed man, in his thirties, looking at me quietly, motionless, like a statue.

The people sitting around him were obviously not as noble as him, and the table was a little smaller, not to mention, even the clothes were a lot darker.

I wanted to see everyone's faces, but before I could see them again, I could see the faces of the people in the distance, and they were all facelings with black heads.

"Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince, after years of searching, I finally got good news!"

A cadre of people stood up directly from the futon, holding a wine glass, respectfully, and saluted the man in gorgeous clothes in unison.

This man sitting in the middle hall is Anyi, Prince An.

I covered my head, trying to open my eyes to see him more clearly, but my brain didn't listen to him, but I couldn't help it, I remembered what he looked like.

"Sit-"

An Yi didn't get up, just nodded lightly and waved everyone to sit down without courtesy.

This is a toast, he didn't get up, he didn't pick up the wine glass, but just answered with one word, which made everyone lose and stay in the moment.

You look at me, I look at you, no one knows why?

"Don't be restrained, I have something to ask her!"

An Yi got up with his hands and walked towards me, and the people around him sat back in their places.

I hurriedly got up, knelt on the spot, endured the discomfort of my body, cheered up, and faced all this calmly.

"You don't have to salute me, you daughter, I'm afraid I won't dare to admit it!"

I was just about to make a big salute and recognize my relatives, but before my head fell, I was comfortably held by my arm and couldn't move anymore.

This sentence was light and ordinary, but it exploded in this palace, and the people around immediately boiled, gathered together in twos and threes, and whispered something.

My ears buzzed as soon as I froze, and my body froze in place and didn't dare to move, completely unaware of what he meant and what his intentions were.

"Do you know what's wrong with you?"

An Yi let go of my hand and looked at me with a lowered brow.

I looked down and looked at the ground, but my heart kept turning, what was wrong with me? What could I do wrong? Is it something encountered in the illusion in the curtain, or is it something else?

In those dreams, it's nothing more than things in the tribe, which makes people a little clueless, and what's wrong with anything else?

"Don't you know?"

An Yi's tone became more and more cold, and it directly dropped to the freezing point.

"Please make it clear!"

I raised my hand and respectfully asked.

With his current attitude, if the confession is not carried out, I naturally can't change my name to my father.

"Okay, then let me ask you, do you have hatred in your heart?"

An Yi nodded, and the anger in his tone was less, but there was a hint of appreciation.

"Naturally, there is hate."

said that there was no hatred, but I was afraid that he would tear me up on the spot, and when he asked me seriously, I would quibble.

"You hate everyone here!"

This is an affirmative sentence.

"I hate myself and don't involve anyone else!"

Hitting the nail on the head, I repeatedly emphasized and quibbled.

"Oh, hate yourself? Tell me about it! ”

Comfortably raised her eyebrows, waiting for my explanation.

"The comfort of man is in the individual, and the suffering of man is in his heart, if my heart can be like water, the wind and rain will not make waves, if I have distracting thoughts in my heart, everything is not going well, I will also be trapped here."

The explanation of chewing words is just to explain a truth, but the real hatred in my heart will not be expressed directly.

In front of everyone, everyone is pretending and quibbling, and I am no exception, and I will do better.

"Sophistry!"

An Yi stared at me for a while, then turned back to his seat, and the originally noisy hall was quiet from the time we talked.
