Yu Yan Destiny

The sun was getting hotter and hotter, and at noon the shivering heat covered the entire estuary; the starlings had taken shelter in the trees, and the wheat was beginning to turn yellow.

Another dry season has arrived.

The ditch that Ji Kaiyang led the people to dig was finally completed at the end of the rainy season. From then on, even in the driest season, the wheat fields can get enough water.This way they can even add one seeding.

Of course, some people think that the annual harvest is determined by God. If people starve to death because of the lack of food, it must be something wrong. Although people don’t know it, they can’t escape God’s eyes; Harvests increased, more people were fed, but inevitably those who should have died lived.

Those old people who had experienced the famine talked one after another, saying that Ji Kaiyang was against the gods. Some people asked Wei Yi to restore the tradition of Tianshu, but the leader was still seriously ill.

Wei Yi has not recovered since the last illness, and his body is getting old day by day. Many tribal affairs are handled by Ji Kaiyang. Although he is still hindered by Wei Yubo and the great wizard, he still works hard to implement some new regulations.

People in the village were originally divided according to age and gender, but now they are divided even more finely.

As long as they are over 16 years old, everyone has to work a certain amount of time every day.At first this caused a lot of dissatisfaction, but later the food was increased and all the houses were renovated, and those stubborn people began to agree with Ji Kaiyang's approach.

However, some people are unwilling to applaud for this no matter what.

As Ji Kaiyang's prestige rises, the prestige of others will inevitably decline.

Lian Xu found that regular labor affected people's participation in worship activities, and later, some measures were implemented without his consent.

"Look, look! He doesn't think much of me at all! What can be more important than a sacrifice, and he's taking people to catch fish in the river! Ah, those fish, stupid, will Rotten fish, people forget their worship of gods because of them!" He said to Wei Yubo one day.

"He is the heir. Father only trusts him now, so of course he can do whatever he wants." Wei Yubo said sourly.

"So you're going to give in too? I thought you valued the leader's position."

"Of course I value it!" Wei Yubo stood up and walked around the room, biting a piece of wheat straw viciously with his teeth, as if biting something hard and soft, "I have been... Think of a way. What great abilities can that little boy have?"

He has more brains than you, Lian Xu thought.

"After all, you are Ji Kaiyang's eldest brother. Even if he is the heir now, he should first seek the opinion of you, the person who has supported the leader for so many years. Where does he put you if he makes his own decisions?"

"You're right." Wei Yubo thumped the wall and made a 'bang' sound, "He looks down on me! He thinks I'm a big stone in his way! Now everyone follows him and follows him Fuck, I'm the only one who desperately maintains Tianshu's traditions, and I'm the only one who remembers to pray and offer sacrifices."

Pooh!You are protecting your own interests.The great wizard sneered silently.

He put on a smiling face and said: "Yes, the traditions and regulations of Tianshu were established by the ancestors of the tribe in accordance with the instructions of the gods a long time ago. They are even more important than your life and mine. They must not be changed easily. Ji What Kaiyang is doing now is blasphemy, we must let people recognize his mistake. Now this task can only be undertaken by you, after all, you are the real heir."

Hearing what the wizard said, Wei Yubo was very angry and puffed up his cheeks, quite proud of himself.

"Wizard, you still know me. Seriously, I only have you as a friend."

"Hmm, um," Lian Xu replied twice.The smile on his face was very warm and brilliant, even a little too bright, making one wonder if his smile was fake.

"What you said is that the two of us are the real force to maintain the tradition of Tianshu. The leader should have seen this a long time ago. How could he choose Ji Kaiyang as his successor?" Lian Xu said slowly, while observing Wei Wei Yu Bo's expression, he knew that this sentence was the biggest blow to Wei Yubo, and sure enough, the person who was still arrogant just now suddenly became angry, his eyes and mouth widened together.He wrung his fingers and said viciously:

"Let him wait, I will definitely find a way, find a way..."

During the hottest [-] days in summer, the people of Tianshu traditionally reduce their labor as much as possible. This is because of the hot weather, and also because it is the day for long-term sacrifices to Hongshuo.

"I really want to go to the mountains to cool off."

Ji Kaiyang complained to You Hua while wiping the sweat all over his face.Sweat gathered on his face, forming a stream of shining streams.

"Not now, the sacrificial photos say it's not over yet."

"Hey, the sacrifice is not over yet, I'm going to be sunburned to death." Ning Jiancheng poked his head out from behind them, and at the same time fanned the wind vigorously with cattail leaves, but even the wind that came from the fan was hot, and he spat , threw the leaves away.

"Be patient, you came here the same way last year." You Hua said.

"Last year I was a slave, and I had to endure everything. But this year is different, I am a free man."

Ji Kaiyang looked back at him and laughed, "I forgot that you are no longer a slave. Although this is my decision and everyone agrees, but after so long, I have forgotten It's rare that you still remember."

"We barren people are not so ungrateful. However, you remind me that you want me to remember your kindness and make me quiet. These are two different things. Even last year, I still went to the mountains. I love to go I can go wherever I want, I am not from Tianshu."

Ning Jiancheng stood up and left.

"Come back!" Ji Kaiyang shouted.

"Hey! I'm no longer your slave!" he said over his shoulder.

"I know, I mean, if you want to go, organize everyone to go together."

"Ji Kaiyang!" You Hua shouted.It was necessary for him to calm the man when he went mad, just as water quenches a flame, but this time it seemed that there was too little water to douse the burning fire.

"Listen to me!" Ji Kaiyang cheered up.The adventurous part of his character was ignited again, "I organized everyone to go not just to enjoy the cool. The weather is too hot, many animals have migrated to the mountains, or entered a long sleep, and my food source is not enough. Hunting, How about it?"

"Great! Let's go hunting in the mountains!" Ning Jiancheng was happy now, raised his head, stared, and waved his arms briskly.

The news spread quickly, and there were about 70 to [-] people who responded to Ji Kaiyang's call, most of them were young people. They set off early the next morning before He Huan rose.

The rest of the tribe naturally knew about it, but no one directly objected, some just cursed behind their backs, some waited for the young people to come back before teaching them, and some planned to use this Things to weaken Ji Kaiyang's strength.

The mountain scenery pleased the people, and they did not return until evening.Far away on the hillside, you can see the fires starting to ignite in clusters in the east and west of the village. The young people happily expect that a large number of prey will make them warmly welcomed by the tribe.

As they approached the village, they could see that many people were already coming towards them, so the young people were even more excited, and each of them quickened their pace, waiting for their wives, parents, or children to hug them.

The two groups approached.

The group coming from the mountain was small in number, but they were full of laughter, and their youthful smiling faces were full of good expectations; the group standing at the entrance of the village was large in number, but dark and lifeless, and Wei Yubo stood at the front , surrounded by great wizards.

"Hello!" Ji Kaiyang yelled, "We brought back a lot of good things! There are so many animals on the mountain! We caught a lot of wild sheep and rabbits... Oh, what's wrong with you..."

His shout of joy did not bring the slightest smile to the waiting crowd. On the contrary, contempt and disgust appeared on the faces of those people.The young man's excitement seemed to hit a stone wall.

"Ji Kaiyang, stand in the middle!" Wei Yubo, the leader, said seriously.

Standing in the middle is either praised or punished.

Of course, today he should be commended for what he led the people to do.

He happily stood in, but Ji Kaiyang was not overwhelmed by pride.If it was his father who said this, he would be very happy, but for Wei Yubo, it means that the next thing may not be a good thing.

But it doesn't matter, he is not afraid of anything now.He was convinced he was doing the right thing.

"Ji Kaiyang, do you know what you did wrong?!" It's impossible, no matter how hard he finds fault, he won't be able to say that I did something wrong.They don't understand!They were wrong!

"Because he acted rashly and irresponsibly," Lian Xu said, "he violated Tianshu's dignity and tradition..." /Wait a minute, he violated?How did he violate it?

"...Ji Kaiyang, one day, you will understand that irresponsibility will be punished. Life is unknown and unknowable. All we need is to live and do everything we can to live."

"Irresponsible?" After listening to a round of scolding, Ji Kaiyang began to refute, "Who else is more responsible than the person who leads everyone to find a better life? We have been living like animals, but it is not enough, too Less, we need more. Don't you want to live a more meaningful life?"

Many people are callous.

They stared at him icily, and only a few showed something different on their faces.

Why are these people just not willing to understand new things?

Why don't they understand that the desire to live a better life is more important than following in the footsteps of people from the past?

Ji Kaiyang clenched his fists hard, the blood vessels on his arms swelled like vines, and under the eyelids with bulging veins, his eyes were shining brightly.

"Wei Yubo, great wizard. Do you think this will isolate me? No, I don't feel alone at all. I feel sorry for you because you won't open your eyes and believe that there is a better life Waiting for you, you are like a bird that does not want to fly and a fish that does not want to swim, who will never know how big the sky and the sea are."

"I'm pissed off! I'm pissed off!" Wei Yubo yelled at the wizard in his own house.

"That brat is yelling at me! I want to strangle him! He's yelling at us!"

Lian Xu looked at him contemptuously and said, "It doesn't help if you are so angry, please be quiet."

"You can hold your breath. Is there anything you can do? We can't stop him. He built canals, blocked the river, and broke the rules of sacrifice. The next step is to abolish all old traditions, and finally Drive us out and monopolize the entire tribe!"

"Don't worry. Let me ask you first: How long can the leader last?"

"As it is now, it's not bad to last a year."

"This means that at most one year, Ji Kaiyang will become the new leader. When that day comes, will you still be able to live in Tianshu?"

"I will definitely stop him! Oh, but Feng Guangmo suddenly disappeared, otherwise he could have assassinated Ji Kaiyang."

"You must never do this!" the great wizard said in a loud and solemn voice, which startled Wei Yubo.

"This method has already been used once, and it has already failed. You should not use it a second time, otherwise, you will expose your plan and mine to everyone. Feng Guangmo is dead, let him die, It's better than letting others know. We should use more powerful force. That desolate silver fugitive is indeed useful, so if you can't find support in this tribe, why don't you look elsewhere? You also know... "

"I know!" Wei Yubo interrupted him, "We helped Yu Wen win the throne of the leader of Huangyin, they should agree to our request, but if they attract the people of Huangyin, maybe there will be a war. "

"It's not that there will be war, but there will be war," said the great wizard, "but it will be under our control. Think about it, what can win people over more than repelling the barren silver attack What about the one you love?"

Lian Xu stared into Wei Yubo's eyes, but the latter turned his eyes away and whispered, "Do you want me to...?"

The great wizard nodded.

"We cooperated with Yu Wen and let him send people to attack Tianshu. Ji Kaiyang will definitely fight. With his strength, it is almost impossible to defeat Yu Wen and his son Duva. When he fails, you Be sure to rush up and defeat the enemy. Of course, we agreed in advance that as long as you attack, they will retreat. Then you will become the hero who saves the tribe, and you can ask Wei Yi to make you the heir, not the loser of the battle. "

"Ah... Maybe there will still be a war, a cruel war..."

"Are you scared?!"

"If, if," Wei Yubo said hastily, "if the fakes come true and the barren silver people really attack us, what should we do?"

"Didn't I already say that we are in cooperation with Yu Wen? They help you win the heir's seat, and we can give them some benefits. You also know that the tip of the hard iron spear in Yu Wen's hand is ours. given."

"But what if they are not satisfied with just spear points? If they want..." Wei Yubo trembled all over when he said this, like a person with a high fever.

"Shenhuo. Am I right?"

"...That, that is absolutely not for them."

"Don't worry, Shenhuo is the sacred object that keeps Tianshu alive. I swear by Qianyu's righteousness." Lian Xu smiled.

But his words didn't seem to reassure Wei Yubo, "...war... There hasn't been a war for many years..."

It is true that there has been no war for many years, and many young Tianshu people do not know what war is, but those who can master it, who can control the seemingly chaotic and ruthless war, are not more powerful?The great wizard looked at Wei Yubo who was trembling with fear, and a desire arose in his heart - people were afraid of war, but he wanted to control it.

"So what. Haven't we all been through war? We need war, only it can reduce the disobedient to ashes, only it can quench the fire of rebellion with blood!"

"Is it possible to succeed?" Wei Yubo's question was more like a sigh.

"Your words are meaningless. There is nothing impossible in the world."

It was already late at night, and crackling bonfires were lit everywhere in the Tianshu tribe.The blue flowers that grow in the dry season, purple with red flames, come down the stalks, swaying sleepily.The little insects were still flying and glowing, like little stars, they flew into the fire and were incinerated.
