When You Hua returned to the village, he happened to meet some girls who were tying up straws to dry.

They heard that it was for Ji Kaiyang to repair the roof, and they were all happy to give it to him, but it turned out that there was an extra bundle than he expected.

Then he went to find the papyrus leaves.This is more troublesome, because the season for cattail grass to grow has passed, and finally he got some from her mother with Xiao Yu's help.

"Is Ji Kaiyang alright?" Xiao Yu asked while helping You Hua pack his things.

"It's okay, it's slowly recovering."

"Then you tell him to be careful of his brothers. Ji Kaiyang will be able to discuss matters in a few days, which makes Wei Yubo very worried that he may come up with some bad ideas."

"Don't worry, no matter how courageous Wei Yubo is, he won't dare to break the divine prohibition."

"Not now, but when the ceremony is over and the divine ban is lifted, who knows what will happen."

"Then I'll remind him." You Hua carried the straw and cattail grass on her shoulders, bid farewell to Xiao Yu, and returned to the beach.At this time, He Huan had already started to fall, and the dark clouds in the east were expanding rapidly.

Upon returning to the shed, You Hua immediately spread a layer of grass blades on the roof, and another layer of wheat straw, and tied them with ropes.While he was working, the wind picked up on the sea, and it blew stronger and stronger.

"You Hua, come down!" Ji Kaiyang shouted from the room, "It's going to be windy!"

"Okay!" The boy agreed, and after a while, he jumped to the ground and got into the shed.

Dark clouds have covered the sky, covering the last ray of light from the blue sun below the sea.

Hongshuo will rise a little later today, and there will be a brief period of darkness between the two suns.

The wind was whistling, and layers of waves rolled up from the gray sea, and were smashed into pieces by the strong wind.

You Hua and Ji Kaiyang stood next to each other, looking at the rough sea through the hanging curtain.

From time to time, waves blown by the wind would fall into the house and wet their feet.Ji Kaiyang took a deep breath of damp air and said:

"Nature is terrible. Look at the waves. Just one of them can swallow half the people of the tribe."

"Yes, especially in this cold weather."

You Hua hugged the straw left over from the roof repair just now, still shivering.

"But I'm not cold, because I don't want it." Ji Kaiyang said, "Let's talk about something else, so we won't be cold if we forget."

"Really?" You Hua was skeptical, but he remembered Xiao Yu's instructions and said, "I saw Xiao Yu when I went to the village, she told you to be careful of your brothers."

Ji Kaiyang laughed.

"I'm not afraid of them."

"Is there any way you can defeat them?"

"I do not know."

"Then why aren't you afraid?"

"Because they are just human beings just like me. One person can always defeat another person, but not nature. Its power is much stronger, and we are too small. The Tianshu tribe only has more than 600 people. Such a small number of people , can only cultivate a small piece of land, and the food produced is not enough for the first half of the year."

"We can also hunt, raise gorals and gather fruit."

"That's just feeding so many people."

"What do you want to do, Ji Kaiyang?"

"I...I want to grow more food and feed more people. When we have 4000 or [-] people, we don't have to be firmly tied to the land of the river mouth. We can go into forests and mountains, and even Go live on the grasslands of the barren silver people. We can also build stronger houses and find more land suitable for farming, so that when one land is dry, there will be other land to support us. Ah, this does not need a great wizard I prayed for the harvest every year."

"Then Lian Xu will be angry."

"Ah. That's even better...it's raining!" Ji Kaiyang shouted.

Following Ji Kaiyang's shout, the slanting heavy rain rolled over, and several flashes of dazzling blue light pierced the dark sky, even Hong Shuo rising behind the dark clouds was covered in light.

Thunder rumbled among the low clouds, and the rain fell on the sea with a rustling sound.

It was raining heavily, You Hua looked at the roof worriedly.He knew the straw wouldn't last long.

Sure enough, under the hammering of the heavy rain, the straw became wet and finally dripped water.At first it was just a few scattered drops, and in the end it was almost like light rain in the house.Under Hong Shuo's dim red light, the dripping water turned rose-colored, and hit the ground from a height, as if broken in a weeping sound.

Ji Kaiyang's back couldn't get wet, so they kept changing positions in the house, looking for a dry place, but rainwater seeped in from every crack.Water droplets inevitably fell on Ji Kaiyang's back.

You Hua was very anxious.

Because he didn't take good care of Ji Kaiyang, he would be punished.He thought of putting clothes on Ji Kaiyang, but both the coarse cloth and the animal skin were already wet.

Then he thought of using the remaining straw, but it too was soaked with water.

He really wanted to hold Ji Kaiyang's hand and run back to the sturdy hut they carefully built in the village, but if Ji Kaiyang took a single step out of the door, he would break the divine prohibition.

The rain accumulated more and more, and the ground was soaked, making it impossible to sit or lie down.This made the boy even more anxious.Seeing that he was running around in a hurry, Ji Kaiyang comforted him and said:

"It's okay, I'll just stand here."

"How can I do that? Your injury is not healed yet, you need to rest, let alone get your tattoo wet."

You Hua saw the jar of water.His eyes lit up, he poured out the water, turned over to the jug, wiped the ground and said, "You sit here."

"You Hua!" Ji Kaiyang was very reluctant.

"Sit down!" You Hua pushed him to the bottom of the tank, and stood behind him to protect him from the rain.This time, the rainwater fell to the ground along You Hua's back, and Ji Kaiyang's body was clean.

"That's it!" he said happily.

But Ji Kaiyang's mood is just the opposite.He was not only unhappy, but also a little angry.

"You Hua. When you did this, didn't you think about it, would you get sick if you got wet in the rain?"

"As long as you don't get sick, you'll be fine."

"Not good." Ji Kaiyang shook his head, "We are all from the Tianshu tribe and the descendants of the Pu'ang people. My life will not be more important than yours. At the feet of God Qianyu, we are all are equal."

You Hua didn't fully understand what he said.In his opinion, Ji Kaiyang is the son of the leader, which already determines that the two of them cannot be the same.

He, You Hua, could get sick, get injured, or even die, and it wouldn't affect the tribe. But if Ji Kaiyang had an accident, the tribe might lose its next leader.They are just different.

But You Hua likes what Ji Kaiyang said in a serious tone, because his appearance is so beautiful and his voice is so gentle.

"Oh, Ji Kaiyang," he put his hands on Ji Kaiyang's shoulders, "You think differently from us, you see farther than we do."

No, not like that.Ji Kaiyang thought.

Everyone can see very far, and they can know the meaning of the patterns drawn by God Qianyu in the sky with stars.

But he didn't intend to tell You Hua right now that he was still too young.But Ji Kaiyang will make You Hua a newcomer, he will change him with care and love.

"You Hua," he said, "sing a song, I like to hear you sing."

"What are you singing?"

"Anything will do."

You Hua thought for a while and sang: "My dear mother loves me so much. She said to me: Oh, my baby, my baby..."

Ji Kaiyang looked up at You Hua.The boy closed his eyes, his singing was powerful and desolate, rippling in the rain.

my darling,

You are to live in peace.

However, I didn't listen to my mother's words,

I didn't listen to my mother...

You Hua sang, put her arms around Ji Kaiyang's shoulders, put her forehead on his head, and moved closer.

"You Hua?"

"...Ji Kaiyang...I, I like you."

"...you are violating a taboo."

"I know. But here... no one will see, maybe..."

"God Qianyu will see, nothing can escape 'his' eyes."

"...I, I am not afraid of punishment."

You Hua pushed Ji Kaiyang's hair back, and kissed the back of his neck.This kiss made the hearts of both of them throb at the same time.

Ji Kaiyang felt something in his heartbeat that was getting faster and faster that he had never felt when he was with the girls around him. That thing made him happy, but it also made him feel that his heart was covered with a grayness like the sky outside. of fog.

20 days passed quickly, and Ji Kaiyang's tattoo was completed. On his back appeared a pattern consisting of a leopard head, a starling with spread wings and many lines like charms, extending from his shoulder blades to his waist. The black and blue tattoos expand and contract slightly with the movement, as if they are alive.

After the ban was lifted, Ji Kaiyang returned to the village accompanied by You Hua, and many people came out of their homes to greet him.

People praised the beautiful tattoos, and girls rushed to hug him.When You Hua saw them, a fire of jealousy arose in his heart, it was the jealousy of a minor, because they were like a swarm of annoying nectar-gathering wasps, circling around him.

Xiao Yu also stood in the crowd, unobtrusive.She just smiled and looked at Ji Kaiyang.

She knew that he would come and hug her, because the two of them were very similar, and there was a cluster of optimism, confidence, tenderness and kindness in their hearts that would never go out.

Sure enough, Ji Kaiyang walked up to her, and she hugged him like everyone else, and kissed his forehead.

In the shack not far from this group of young and cheerful people, Ji Kaiyang's eldest brother Wei Yubo was watching them through the gap.

"Ah, look how happy they are, Ji Kaiyang is always liked by many people."

Lian Xu in the house glanced at Wei Yubo, closed his eyes again, and said slowly: "Ignorant people are easily fooled by their appearance. But it won't take long for them to pay the price for their ignorance."
