Chapter 1: The Gift of the Crown
The woods outside the city, the grass and trees, the murmuring streams, resounding through the mountain col.
Approaching the water, the boy lowered his fishing rod, drew his dagger, and began to process the prey he had caught this morning: a pheasant.
Sprinkled with freshly dried coarse salt and seasonings, it's been a long time since I've eaten so delicious.
As soon as the bonfire was set up and ready to barbecue, there was a sound of bushes by the stream, and two figures came out, and the fish in the stream spit and dived.
"Huh?"
Xuanyuan Yue reacted quickly, raised the bloody dagger in his palm, and pulled out the fish intestine dagger from his leg bag with his other hand, even if a top assassin came here, he couldn't hurt him in the slightest. After the afterglow swept over, these two were the collateral descendants of the Xuanyuan clan's rudder Xuanbu, Xuanyuan Chun and his younger brother, Xuanyuan Qiu.
"Cousin, the crown ceremony is about to start, we are all nervous, you are good, eat roast chicken here. Xuanyuan Chun looked very kind. Xuanyuan Qiu next to him saw that he was living so moist, and the burst of chicken fragrance was mouth-watering, and his heart was angry and combusted.
"Let's go back. ”
Xuanyuan Yue waved his hand casually, sat calmly on the rock, and didn't look at the two brothers squarely.
The fresh meat that has been taken care of is set up, and the coarse salt crystals are neatly spread out, sprinkled with pepper powder and dogwood orange peel, and the barbecue is crispy and fragrant.
Xuanyuan Qiu saw him despise people like this, and the unhappiness in his heart was even worse, and he yelled at Xuanyuan Yue: "Where did you get the salt?......!
Xuanyuan Qiu is also a person who "understands", so he calmed down the anger in his heart for the time being, threw the name card with the word "Xuanyuan Yue" on the gravel, and said disdainfully: "This, your name post, with this thing, your coming-of-age ceremony has nobility, fool." ”
After that, he didn't look back, but walked away.
After the two brothers left the pass, the more Xuanyuan Qiu thought about it, the more angry he became: "Why don't you clean him up?
Xuanyuan Chun had long lost the kindness he had just now, with a calm and hint of viciousness in his eyes, he leaned into his brother's ear and whispered: "That's it, the one who is about to die, in vain." ”
Only his brother could hear this, and when the latter heard this, he laughed heartily: "Hahahaha! What Brother Ren said is very true, he is just a funeral object." ”
"Eh, you can't say that, he is the descendant of our Xuanyuan clan! ”
Xuanyuan said strangely.
"Poofha...... I'm laughing to death!"
"Be quiet! Also, don't talk about it in the future, the "funeral deed" is a family secret. ”
After Xuanyuan Chun finished speaking, he looked around extremely nervously, and there was no movement, before pulling his younger brother out of here.
......
......
The sound of barbecue is better than the bubbling of the stream, and Xuanyuan Yue skillfully cut the roast chicken into pieces and ate it.
As always, he is calm, from birth to the present, his personality has not changed, and he has been calm and calm from beginning to end. As for the reason, it may have something to do with his experience in two lives. He was in the age of his life, at the 100th birthday banquet had a great time, relatives and friends gathered together, was talking about the marriage of his great-grandson in the same name of the general manager Xu Lao'er, the clear sky suddenly lightning and thunder, thunderbolts resounded through the sky, the empty birthday banquet under the wind and rain, a pillar of strong light with a ball of lightning fell on himself, under the sudden change of the world, he came to this world inexplicably, so since he was a child, he was calm and calm, whether it was encountering relatives as ancients, clansmen as sorrows, enemies as death, all heart as water, no waves.
The rite of passage is the rite of passage for young men who have reached the age of 18 and women who have reached the age of 16. This ceremony is of great significance, and it is said that the "Son of the Heavenly Sage", who carries the will of God, leads the development of mankind and can redeem the suffering people, can only be screened in the rites of passage.
In addition, the auspicious day of graduation to educate the younger generations to practice etiquette such as filial piety, loyalty, obedience, and the unification of national cultural traditions is also today. Therefore, the court and outside the court attach great importance to each coming-of-age ceremony, and it can be seen in Article 39 of its "Tang Guo Etiquette and Crown" that the general content of the record is "women and women, men are crowned, and those who perform the crown lie about the feelings of the Son of Heaven, and they will be guilty of deceiving the king, and they will be beheaded when they are born, and they will be whipped when they die." ”
The movements of the trees and bushes beside the creek are all within the range of Xuanyuan Yue's perception.
"Don't hide. ”
"Brother, I knew you were here, hehe. A young girl sprang out of the bushes, her clear eyes staring at the chicken in her brother's hand, her black hair falling to her waist, so beautiful, what a picture of the world. This girl is Xuanyuan Yue's sister Xin Yu, and everyone likes to call her Xiao Yu.
"Go back. ”
"Okay~"
"Come here. ”
"Obey~"
"What do you have to say, brother?"
Xiao Yu listened to his brother's words very much, ran a few steps in the dust, and was called back.
"Let me ask you, are you ready for the ceremony?" Xuanyuan Yue saw that she was green like a waterfall, her hair was not coiled, her skirt was fluttering, and her clothes had not been changed, so she was definitely not ready for the ceremony.
"Ah...... what chickens? Xiao Yu licked her teeth and stared at the roast chicken in her brother's hand with big eyes.
"......" Xuanyuan Yue was speechless.
"Brother... You've done the best for me. She quickly leaned over and grabbed Xuanyuan Yue's arm, coquettishness was already a passive skill after she saw her brother.
Seeing my sister staring directly at the thing in her hand, I instantly knew what she was thinking.
"No, you're not feeling well. ”
"It's fine tomorrow, brother, give me something to eat..."
"You can only eat a little. Xuanyuan Yue handed over the roast chicken suspiciously.
"Okay, I'll bite!" Xiao Yu bit the chicken leg, and his little hand grabbed the chicken leg on the other side, and when he pulled it, half of the chicken was gone.
“?”
Xiao Yu ran away, and Xuanyuan Yue saw that the situation was not good, and shouted, "Stop me." ”
She bit the chicken and said vaguely: "Weichen retires! No, it's a leg, hehehehe......"
Xuanyuan Yue has always talked little, but in the past ten years, 99% of his words have been talking to this girl, and his indifferent personality will only be alleviated when he is with his sister.
Xiao Yu could not have Xuanyuan Yue to run fast, and he was caught up in two or three clicks and confiscated the loot.
Picking up the looted object, he shook his head helplessly, and there was a row of neat and small tooth marks on the chicken legs.
"Hehe, brother, you're the best for me, I'll just eat a little! a little bit......" After speaking, she also gestured with her hand to the size of the chicken legs.
Looking at my sister's "sincere" eyes, I couldn't help but smile: "If you hadn't fooled me often, I would have believed you were a ghost." ”
"Trust me! ”
"What reputation do you have. Xiao Yu found that he couldn't fool around, so he could only look at his brother pitifully, this trick had been tried many times, but this time he didn't believe it.
"If you don't get the cold, I'll bake three of you. Xuanyuan Yue suddenly remembered a certain scene, and said involuntarily: "The doctor said that during the cold, the ability to resist disease decreases, and the barbecue contains a lot of fat, which is not easy to digest, which will affect the recovery of the cold." ”
"Brother, what are you talking about, what kind of disease resistance?
It's normal not to know, because there is no such thing as "doctors, fats, and colds" in this world.
Xuanyuan Yue rubbed his temples, not knowing what he was talking about just now, and muttered, "Why is it here again." ”
"Hey ......"
Seeing that his brother was in a daze, Xiao Yu snatched the chicken leg as fast as he could, and began to bite and chew without saying a word.
Xuanyuan Yue has not practiced in vain for so many years, and the speed of the human body after mobilizing the Gang Qi can reach the extreme, and with a bang, Xiao Yu kissed goodbye to the food on his lips again.
"Brother, you're so annoying, you don't tell me the recipe, you have to give me some!" Xiao Yu stomped her foot angrily, because she didn't know how Xuanyuan Yue made a "peerless seasoning" that was not even in the palace, and then sprinkled it on the chicken so delicious.
Xuanyuan Yue rubbed his temples, no longer caring about the scene he had just recalled, and looked at his sister's pitiful appearance, it was impossible not to be soft-hearted.
"Well, I've taught you language and literature for so long, and I'll describe the chicken thighs, which are well groomed, and you can eat a little. Xuanyuan Yue's "language and literature" is also obtained from "dream memory", and the plot is scattered and uneven, which seems to be part of many cultures in a "modern civilization" around 2049 AD, and the specific situation is unknown.
Xiao Yu was very red when he saw the chicken legs, and his potential was fully stimulated by the elder brother, with his mouth saliva, he wrote a poem and chanted half a minute later:
"Before smelling the aroma, I smelled the chicken, and my brother fished the stream alone. I persuaded my brother to give me a ...... Super invincible called flower chicken!"
"I'll give you a head and a chicken, but I'll start over. Xuanyuan Yue knocked on his sister's head, a "ruthless" evaluation.
"Hmph......! Uh, no, I'm so!!"
"What I teach you is not poetry, but language and literature, and then ponder carefully. ”
"Okay, come again! I'm done with this chicken leg today!" Xiao Yu rolled up his sleeves angrily, felt a little cold, and put it back.
"Ambitious. ”
“......”
Two minutes later, Xiao Yu spoke: "My brother's roasted chicken thighs, the color is burnt and buttery, slightly spicy and fragrant, one bite down, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the meat is smooth and delicious, the chicken is delicious, chewed into silk, swallowed slowly......"
As he spoke, Xiao Yu's saliva was about to flow out.
"It's good...... Well, I'm chewing on the drumsticks a lot better than before, thank you. ”
Xuanyuan Yue was nibbling on the chicken leg while listening to Xiao Yu's description, chewing it with relish and enjoying it very much.
Xiao Yu only came back to his senses now, and stomped his feet in anger: "Damn, give me chicken legs!!"
"I said, 'Well groomed, give you some to eat,' aren't you untouched? I think it's far from it. ”
"Woooooo My brother bullied me... Brother is the worst in the world... I'm going to tell my mother... Woo woo woo..."Xiao Yu cocked her mouth and began to cry, tears hung on her long eyelashes, and she was about to fall off when she looked at it.
"Here you go, what are you crying about. "Xuanyuan Yuetian is not afraid of the ground, but he is afraid that his sister will cry, make trouble and complain.
"Hehe, my brother is the best in the world!~"
Xuanyuan Yue thought to himself, is there a chicken leg between the worst and the best in the world?
"It's not early, brother, I'll go back and prepare, see you later!"
After getting the chicken legs, Xiao Yu slipped away quickly, for fear that her brother would "turn his mind".
"Huh?" Xuanyuan Yue sat cross-legged on the ground, the environment in the previous dream was very vague, the closer to the adult day, the more clear and thorough the dream became, as if the experience and life of the past life also appeared in his mind one after another.
"It doesn't seem like a dream anymore. ”
