Yu Yan Destiny

At dusk, the dry air is filled with the smell of fresh weeds, and the distant mountains have been submerged in mist.Hong Shuo revealed half of his face from behind the horizon, hanging the faded purple-red sunset glow in the sky.A few pale little stars have begun to twinkle.

Xiao Yu was holding a plate of noodle cakes in his hand, and beside You Hua, he was carrying a basket of fruit.The two walked towards Ji Kaiyang's house while chatting and laughing.

In the open space in front of Ji Kaiyang's house, a fire was burning, and several barracudas were roasted until they were orange-yellow, exuding a tempting aroma.

"Ji Kaiyang, here we come." Xiao Yu said.

"I'm ready and waiting for you."

The door curtain was lifted, revealing a handsome, smiling face.

The three sat around the fire and shared the food they had brought.

Xiao Yu was obviously very concerned about the tribal meeting held yesterday, women like her were not allowed to participate, and now she raised all questions to Ji Kaiyang and You Hua.

"Why did you save that desolate silver man? You annoyed a lot of people by doing this." She asked.

Just as Ji Kaiyang put a barracuda into his mouth, he spat out the fish bone and replied vaguely: "He will be useful to me."

"Aren't you afraid that he is a spy?" You Hua interrupted.

"What's so scary about this. If he's a spy, we should be able to find more desolate silver people nearby, but until now there's not even a single sign. And Ning Jiancheng is really special."

Xiao Yu laughed, showing two lovely dimples on his face.

"Hmm... I really didn't know Ji Kaiyang that you were interested in middle-aged men. You Hua, why don't you know?"

She suddenly said this, startled You Hua, and almost choked himself when he was drinking water.

"Cough! What do I know? Why should I know?"

The young man frantically wiped the water from his mouth, embarrassed, looked at Xiao Yu, then at Ji Kaiyang, and finally lowered his head to look at the ground.

Ji Kaiyang was amused by his expression, and said: "Xiao Yu, how can You Hua understand my thoughts? He is not the God of Qianyu who can spy on people's hearts. Besides, what I said is special about Ning Jiancheng It was the impression he left on me during yesterday's meeting, and it has nothing to do with whether he is a middle-aged man or not."

"Oh? What impression Ning Jiancheng left on you, is it worth your decision to go against the majority of the tribe."

Ji Kaiyang thought for a while and said, "He is different from us."

"That's it?"

"this one."

"I don't understand your words." Xiao Yu held Ji Kaiyang's wrist and said sincerely and with concern, "I don't understand your reasons either, but what can I do? All I can do is believe in you... yes Why don't we go and see the prisoner? Where is he locked up?" Xiao Yu asked You Hua.

"The old cage in the north."

The so-called "old prison cage" is not a real cage, but several sheds surrounded by thorny plants and poisonous weeds, which are generally used to hold captives and punished people.Now only Ning Jiancheng is locked inside.

"I remembered when you said it," Ji Kaiyang said, "We should bring him some food. The guards will definitely not take care of his food and drink seriously. It would be too much if he starved to death before he was free." Oh no."

As he spoke, he took out a can of candied fruit that was half eaten just now, grabbed a grilled fish, a few lamb ribs, plus bread and fresh fruit, and stuffed them all into the can.

You Hua looked at this pile of things, and couldn't help asking: "He really knows how to eat this? It's all mixed with you, it must taste very bad."

"It's good to eat something, how dare he pick and choose. Let's go, or it will be dark."

Indeed, Hongshuo had sunk below the horizon, only a low band at the far east was glowing red, and the rest of the sky was covered in darkness.Instead of sunlight, what illuminates the Tianshu tribe is replaced by torches in front of each house.

The three young men came to the old cage.At the gap in the fence surrounding the circle, two guards were eating, and when they saw anyone approaching, they immediately stood up and stopped them.

Ji Kaiyang negotiated for a long time before the guards agreed to let him go in alone, but Xiao Yu and You Hua could only wait outside.This made Xiao Yu very disappointed.

Ji Kaiyang asked the guard for a torch, and went into the shed with the pot in his hand.In the room, Ning Jiancheng was sleeping, his limbs stretched out in four directions, his mouth was wide open, and his beard was stained with saliva.Scattered around him were some clean pheasant bones that he couldn't tell whether it was yesterday or the day before yesterday.Ji Kaiyang put the torch on the wooden frame, squatted down, and prepared to wake Ning Jiancheng up.As soon as his fingers touched the captive's shoulder, Ning Jiancheng suddenly opened his eyes.

"Ah," exclaimed Ji Kaiyang who was taken aback, "Aren't you asleep?"

"Of course I fell asleep. It's just that I woke up when I smelled something to eat. It's a skill I practiced in the jungle."

Although he was talking to Ji Kaiyang, Ning Jiancheng stared at the jar of food.

"Is this for me?" he asked.

"Yes."

"Oh, that's great." Ning Jiancheng put his fingers in and took out a fish. Just as he put it to his mouth, his expression changed and he cried out miserably: "Ah! God! God!" The voice It was like being hit hard in the heart.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?"

"God! Who did this good thing? How can fish and honey be mixed together! Ahhh!" He gesticulated and shouted, the people around him were obviously in danger of being slapped, and the fish body Honey is flying everywhere.

"Calm down!" Ji Kaiyang snatched back the jar and said, "Either you eat it honestly, or you wait to starve to death. I put these food, how about it. You choose one Bar."

"Hey," the barren silver man smiled, licked the honey on his finger, and said, "Don't be angry, you have to understand, after walking in the grassland and jungle for three months, and was almost killed by someone, anyone who comes across this In this case, there is always anger to vent. Well, well, don't be angry. I will eat it, and I promise to eat it without complaint and clean, even if you send me the shed skin of a viper or the skin of a dragon. toenails..."

Before he finished speaking, Ning Jiancheng took the jar and started digging to eat, as if he was digging the legendary treasure of the Pu'ang people.He didn't even look at what he was holding, and stuffed it into his mouth.What surprised Ji Kaiyang the most was that the barren silver man didn't spit out bones and fishbone...

Of course, Ning Jiancheng would not eat bones and fishbone, after all, his stomach does not have the same powerful digestive function as that of Quoceratops.After stuffing a mouthful of food, he started spitting out his bones 'poof', 'poof', all over the ground, and at the same time he did not forget to grunt and chirp.

"Pretty boy, just say what you want to say." Don't hinder me from eating and drinking.Ning Jiancheng didn't say this, but Ji Kaiyang did feel it.

"How do you think I must have something to tell you?"

"Could it be that you came here to deliver food?" Ning Jiancheng raised his head from behind the jar and looked at Ji Kaiyang, "You think I can't guess it? You think you're smart? Hmph, you people from Tianshu fool."

"What did you say!"

"I said you were fools. Children."

"Don't call me a child!"

"Okay. Ji Kaiyang, I'm an outsider, and I understand things that you don't understand. People in Tianshu grow food, and you grow and grow and grow, and you grow yourself into a fool. You know and those who don't know anything deal with plants, thinking that knowing the growth law of wheat knows everything; and us barren silver people, we track wild animals on the grassland, do you know how cunning animals those tortoise cats and Kago are? We want to catch them , you have to be smarter than them, that's what hard life forces you to do. Do you understand me?"

Of course he understood.

"You're right," Ji Kaiyang said, "but since you're so smart, you don't need us to help you anyway, so I'll tell them that I won't protect you anymore..."

"Then wait for them to kill me." Ning Jiancheng interrupted him.The sarcasm was gone from his black eyes now and replaced by seriousness.

"Ji Kaiyang. Every tribe has its smart people and its fools. I have known for a long time that whether it is the God of Xiangyan I believe in or the God of Qianyu you believe in, they are partial. Wisdom is inherently low, and it would be nice if everyone had the same amount, but it is not the case. Child, I think you are a smart person, since you are lucky to have wisdom, be a good person.”

Ji Kaiyang thought about Ning Jiancheng's words seriously.These words are like an elder's warning to the younger generation, but there are some things he has never heard of.

He is a good man himself.

What kind of person?

leader?

He wanted to be a leader, but he didn't want to be mediocre like his father.

Be a wizard?

He didn't want to be such a cold and cruel person as Lian Xu.

"What kind of person do you want to be a good person?" He couldn't help saying what was in his heart.

"Child, what kind of person to be is not told by others. You need to decide for yourself. It is who you want to be."

Ji Kaiyang smiled slightly and said, "I want to be a useful person to the tribe. This is my current thinking. Ning Jiancheng." He squatted in front of the captive, looked him in the eyes, "Tianshu tribe needs Change, it can't always be like this forever. I want it to change, and I want you to help me."

Ning Jiancheng had expected that he would say that, so he put down the food in his hand and replied: "You always say 'I want this' and 'I want that', so you are still a child, and your thoughts are completely different. It's an immature wish..."

"Are you going to help me?"

"...But you have ambitions, dreams, and the fearless courage that only belongs to young people. If you add calm thoughts and foresight, the Tianshu tribe may change from you..."

"answer me!"

"...To be honest, if I fail to help you, I won't end well. However, you are a lovely child, and you give me food. For this, I will help you."

Ning Jiancheng pretended to be reluctant to stretch out his hand covered with honey, but his eyes were shining with joy.Ji Kaiyang shook his hand triumphantly.
