Yu Yan Destiny

Ning Jiancheng opened his eyes.

Above his head is a layered straw roof, just like what he saw in the old cage. The soft red sunlight shoots from under the eaves, leaving elongated trails of light on the ground through the small gaps in the wall. .

He had the feeling of returning to the old cage for an instant, as if he could see the flickering fire and those vicious people who wanted to kill him again.

He laughed self-deprecatingly.

What are you afraid of?Those things have passed, and now he is Ji Kaiyang's slave. Although he has not obtained complete freedom, at least he has the guarantee of survival.

His young master didn't have too many demands on him. Compared with other slaves, he even had the freedom to move around at will.This has satisfied him.

And the medical skills he showed when he treated Wei Zhuolan's children made him popular with many people, and they would come to him when there were patients in the family.

Ning Jiancheng stood up and stretched his arms and legs to relax his curled up body in the small room.

Then he carefully inspected the herbs he hung in the shed, smelled them, and gathered the dried ones together.

The room he lived in was smaller and shorter than ordinary shacks, and it was next to Ji Kaiyang's house, separated only by a straw curtain in the middle.At this time Ji Kaiyang went out early.

Sure enough, when Ning Jiancheng opened the curtain, he saw only the green smoke left by the torches left in Ji Kaiyang's room, and a plate of steamed rice mixed with wheat grains and mutton on the ground. stuttered.

Since he is a slave, he should cook for his master, which is the custom of Tianshu.But in reality it's often the other way around.

Ji Kaiyang didn't seem to care about this kind of thing, at most he would occasionally complain about why the food was eaten so quickly.It is also true that Ning Jiancheng has a big appetite.

After eating, Ning Jiancheng began to sit in front of the door, grind the dried herbs into powder, and put them into pouches made of guinea pig skin.

When he was in the Desolate Silver Tribe, he often did this, and within three months of arriving in Tianshu, he had already collected a lot of herbs.

When he was grinding the medicine, many people came and went.Some of them were the patients he cured, and those people always smiled gratefully, and even gave him some food, prey and so on.

Sometimes Wei Yubo and the great wizard's subordinates would pass by, and they would say some nasty words, spit around him, and some of them would run around quickly, blowing a gust of wind, and they would grind him up just now. The powder was scattered in all directions.

Ning Jiancheng always tries his best to maintain a peaceful mind and never gets angry.He knew that those people dared not do anything to him.

Near noon, Hong Shuo had risen to the top of the sky, but Ji Kaiyang hadn't returned yet.

After waiting for a while, Ning Jiancheng packed up his things and prepared to cook.At this time You Hua came.

"Where did Ji Kaiyang go?" Ning Jiancheng asked him.

"Oh. The leader asked him to eat."

"So we're going to get our own food?"

Ning Jiancheng said while looking at the pot in You Hua's hand.

Based on the principle of not doing anything unless he can do it himself, he hopes that You Hua can replace Ji Kaiyang to solve the problem of eating for him.

"I brought guinea pig broth, you must bake a few pancakes." Of course You Hua knew what he was thinking, but this soup was originally prepared for Ji Kaiyang, so Ning Jiancheng couldn't just be cheap.

While eating lunch, Ning Jiancheng noticed that You Hua was a little unhappy.

It must be because Ji Kaiyang is not here.

he thought.

Usually the boy is always talkative, chattering around Ji Kaiyang, he is very active whenever he sees Ji Kaiyang.For him, Ji Kaiyang's effect is like the effect of rain on wheat seedlings. It is not just a need, but a strong desire to fill a life with a smart soul.

In the past three months, Ning Jiancheng has already noticed their relationship.

As long as You Hua has time, she will definitely come to Ji Kaiyang, and she always waits until the sun goes down before leaving reluctantly.Ji Kaiyang also seems to like having You Hua by his side, and always tells him first if there is anything to do.

They fell in love with each other.

Ning Jiancheng thought, it's just that You Hua likes and even admires Ji Kaiyang, but Ji Kaiyang loves that child more like an older brother.

But wouldn't the relationship between these two people violate the taboo of the Tianshu tribe?

That's why they dare not tell outsiders, and dare not express themselves, right?

Ning Jiancheng shrugged.

In the eyes of Tianshu people, this kind of thing is a taboo that one must be extremely careful about even talking about, but in the eyes of Huangyin people, it is at best a bit strange.

So Ning Jiancheng couldn't help but think of the carnivals that were often held on the grasslands. The men and women of the whole tribe stayed up all night during the harvest season with the most prey, singing and dancing around the campfire, until finally people were anesthetized by water clouds and sought each other's desires. At that time, there will always be sex between men and women because they can't find a woman, and everyone doesn't think it's anything, at most they just laugh.

Ugh.

Ning Jiancheng sighed.

In a place like Tianshu, where desires are strictly restricted, life has become boring.

He looked at You Hua again.

That child had an innocent and pure face. Ning Jiancheng remembered that at that age he was either chasing prey or flirting with girls.

He didn't understand why they fell in love with each other but didn't even allow it to be said, why the nature of pursuing happiness succumbed to those inexplicable prohibitions.

As a barren banker, Ning Jiancheng suddenly felt how lucky he was to be able to live on the grassland, and how pitiful the child in front of him was.

He wanted to help them, and he had plenty of ideas of his own anyway.

Besides, the cold stagnant water in Tianshu made him a little breathless, and he really wanted to throw a handful of stones into the calm water to see what would come out of it.

"What are you thinking, boy?" he asked.

"...Oh? Nothing, nothing..." You Hua glanced at him, then lowered her head again, lost in thought.

"No, child. You have something on your mind." Ning Jiancheng said, "You are thinking about Ji Kaiyang."

You Hua's head lowered.

"No, don't be like this, don't be so melancholy. Don't! You are still a young man. You Hua, I am a barren silver man. I don't understand your taboos, and they can't restrain me. I was just thinking, if you Isn't it painful to like someone but can't do anything?"

"Impossible..." The boy shook his head.

"Nothing is impossible, kid. Yes, you can tell me, because I'm not from Tianshu, it's okay to tell me. Tell me, say you like Ji Kaiyang, very much; say you hope he loves you too; say you want to get something out of it." Get something more than just mental pleasure. Say it."

You Hua stared at him blankly, frowning, as if she didn't understand what he meant.But slowly, tears welled up in his eyes.He covered his mouth with his hand, afraid that the blurted words would be heard by others because of his excitement, and he was even afraid that he would hear it.

"I like him, very much."

ah!But he didn't dare to tell others, because he didn't want to ruin himself and Ji Kaiyang for it.

Now, in front of a foreigner, it was the first time for him to express his thoughts, but this made him even more uncomfortable.

His tears rolled down and wet the sandy ground.The more he cried, the sadder he became, and the pent-up feelings that were entangled in his heart rushed out with tears.

Ning Jiancheng waited for him to cry.

He knew that when one opened the floodgates of tears, one opened the floodgates of the heart, and only then could he help them.

The air was stuffy, and the flying insects made chirping noises.Farther away is the sound of people shouting when they are sowing the wheat, and the fragrance of melons and fruits floats from nowhere.

All this is very familiar, the rainy season is coming...

Ning Jiancheng reached out to wipe away the tears from the boy's face.

"Son, don't cry, don't let other people hear. I will help you, but you also have to remember: Fate can't stop joy. Remember my words."

Ten days after the conversation between Ning Jiancheng and You Hua, the Tianshu tribe suddenly became busy, and people were busy building huts on the beach.

He asked You Hua what happened.

"Another boy has turned 20 and is about to have a bar mitzvah."

You Hua explained the process of the ceremony to the curious Ning Jiancheng.After listening, the barren silver whistled excitedly.

"Sounds so good! The guy who gave the boy a rite of passage did him such a favor!"

The boy didn't pay attention when he heard this, but immediately blushed.

"It's not what you think!" He shouted at Ning Jiancheng who dared to belittle his tribe: "That is a solemn ceremony! And only the warriors of the tribe are eligible!"

"Tribal warrior?" Ning Jiancheng muttered the word, thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "How old are you now, You Hua?"

"Seventeen."

There are three more years.

"Hmm... Is Ji Kaiyang a warrior?"

"No."

This seems a bit troublesome.Ning Jiancheng thought.

He patted You Hua on the shoulder and said, "Son, when you are 20 years old and you have a coming-of-age ceremony, do you want Ji Kaiyang to perform the coming-of-age ceremony for you?"

The boy's eyes widened all of a sudden, his face was as red as the sun, and he stammered:

"You...you said...what? I..."

"You must think so!"

"I...not...I..."

You Hua stomped her foot hard, scaring the bugs in the grass to jump far away.

He gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

"Yes. I think so."

Ning Jiancheng grinned.

"That's right! People, it's better to be honest. I'll talk about Ji Kaiyang. Don't worry."

He didn't wait for You Hua to repent, and immediately ran away.

"Hey……!"

You Hua wanted to call him back, but seeing Ning Jiancheng who was running away quickly, his hand stopped in mid-air.

Two months later, during the rainy season, the Jiayu River swelled a lot, and the wheat fields were already lush green.

From time to time, violent thunderstorms would engulf Tianshu Village, put out bonfires, drive away insects, and drive people back into their houses.

It is best not to go out on rainy days, but Ning Jian became a herb picker and had to go to the woods under the heavy rain, but fell from the tree and sprained his foot.

Originally, Ning Jiancheng didn't take care of Ji Kaiyang very much, but now it's the other way around, asking Ji Kaiyang to take care of him.You Hua and Xiao Yu often come to help out when they are free.Compared with the patience of the two of them, Ji Kaiyang's attitude is much worse.

"What kind of herbs are you picking, and you still hurt your feet!"

One day, he was stirring the soup pot vigorously while complaining.Because it was raining outside, the fire was lit inside the house, and the smoke all over the house made him very uncomfortable.

"That kind of grass only grows on the treetops when it rains heavily."

Ning Jiancheng sat comfortably in his shed and explained.Through the door curtain, he could see Ji Kaiyang busy to and fro.

After eating, at noon, the rain stopped, the red sun shone on the wet ground, and the air was clean and refreshing.

You Hua came to see them as usual.

Before he could finish his sentence after sitting down, Ning Jiancheng yelled that he was going to take a bath.

"Aren't you annoying? Go and go by yourself!" Ji Kaiyang responded unhappily.It was obviously an expression of displeasure when the conversation with You Hua was interrupted.

"Hey, I hurt my foot. Do you want me to climb to the river beach? It's that far."

"Then don't go, you won't die if you don't wash."

"It won't die, but it will be very dirty." Ning Jiancheng lowered his head and sniffed his armpits, fanned his nose deliberately, and said loudly, "It smells so bad! If you don't believe me, smell it!" He used the The good leg jumped in front of Ji Kaiyang, rubbed his dirty hair against Ji Kaiyang's body, and dangled his feet in front of him from time to time, until Ji Kaiyang couldn't bear it anymore and stood up quickly. Get up and step back, and wave your hands and say: "Please forgive me, let's carry you to the head office together!"

Seeing that his trick had succeeded, Ning Jiancheng giggled.That laugh betrayed his evil intentions more than his mouth or eyes.

At the moment, most people in the village are sleeping, and few people can be seen.Ji Kaiyang and You Hua carried Ning Jiancheng to the river beach from left to right, and put him on a gentle sandy beach. The two returned to the high river bank and waited.

And Ning Jiancheng got into the water and shouted while taking a bath: "Haha, it's so comfortable. Yay! My beautiful and great Xiangyan God!"

He even sang, with a voice and a gesture that would make the stomachs of the two men on the river bank sick.

When he finally finished washing, he called Ji Kaiyang and You Hua to go down, and said, "Will you wash it or not? The water is good, and it's already here anyway."

The water is indeed very clear, you can clearly see the pebbles and shrimps on the sand, and the water temperature is also very warm under the bright light.

You Hua was moved and planned to wash himself off, so Ji Kaiyang had to carry Ning Jiancheng ashore alone.

"Aren't you going?" Sitting on the ground, Ning Jiancheng asked him.

"I just washed it yesterday."

"Let's go again."

Ji Kaiyang turned around suddenly, bowed his waist, and leaned forward like a leopard about to hunt, forcing Ning Jian to become an adult.

"What is your purpose, Ning Jiancheng?" Ji Kaiyang stared at him.

"Hmm... Let me be blunt. Three years later, You Hua will be 20 years old. How would you feel if you watched someone give him a coming-of-age ceremony during the coming-of-age ceremony?"

"I'd be very uncomfortable."

"Sincerely. Well, since you don't feel comfortable looking at yourself, you might as well do the adult ceremony."

"But I'm not a warrior."

"Then you just work hard! Lu Gaorui is not a born warrior."

"You're right..." Ji Kaiyang turned his head, looked at You Hua who was taking a bath, and said, "Does he know?"

Ning Jiancheng nodded. "I've already told him that it's up to you now."

The corners of Ji Kaiyang's mouth curled up slightly, and he said, "Why are you helping us? Neither of us have any rights, nor do we have what you need?"

"But you saved my life."

"I don't need you to repay me, that's what I should do."

"You don't need it, but I'm willing." Ning Jiancheng put away his smiling face and said seriously: "I'm just a nosy person. I used to think, why bother with others? Go your own way , have their own freedom. But Ning Jiancheng is such a person, he doesn't like to see people suffer because they can't experience love, just like he can't bear people to confine themselves."

"I didn't expect you to be quite noble."

"Well, my actions are higher than my thoughts. How? Do you agree or not?"

"I..." He didn't answer Ning Jiancheng, but stood up and walked towards the river beach.

You Hua saw Ji Kaiyang walking down, and asked, "Have you changed your mind?"

"Ah."

Ji Kaiyang stepped on the beach, and the water covered his calves.He took off the necklace and the amulet around his neck, placed them on a large rock high above, and then began to untie his belt.

You Hua had already forgotten to take a bath, she stood in the water and stared at Ji Kaiyang's movements, her eyes followed the dexterous fingers past his beautiful collarbone, fuck.Ji Kaiyang **, put aside together with the animal skin and loincloth, and slowly walked into the water.

"You Hua." He softly called his name and put his hand on his shoulder.

"?" The boy looked at him suspiciously, not understanding his sudden change.

"That thing... that thing three years later. I promise you."

Saying that, Ji Kaiyang tightened his arms and hugged You Hua into his arms.

"Ji Kaiyang! You will be seen!" The boy struggled anxiously.

"There will be no one, Ning Jiancheng is watching for us."

Ji Kaiyang hugged You Hua, their bodies were so close, muscle against muscle, skin rubbing against skin.

This first intimate contact under the sun made the two feel nervous and almost at a loss for what to do.

You Hua raised her eyes, looked at Ji Kaiyang, at the handsome and graceful eyebrows, eyes and the corners of the mouth.He suddenly felt so much happiness in his heart, so much that the boy's heart couldn't hold it, and it was about to overflow.

"Ji Kaiyang..." He whispered softly, leaning his head on Ji Kaiyang's shoulder, and then he felt a pair of gentle hands caressing his shoulders and sliding down, bringing the two of them closer together.

Their heartbeat and breathing suddenly became rapid, and the collision made them taste the sweet taste that they had never felt before.across the center of his youthful desire,

"Snapped!"

Water splashes everywhere.

A stone fell into the water beside the two men.

Ning Jiancheng shouted at them from the shore: "There is someone!"

Ji Kaiyang glanced at the bank, but he didn't see anyone, but he knew it should be blocked by the raised river bank.

He looked back at You Hua, seized the short time before the person appeared, lifted the boy's chin, and pressed his hot lips against his slightly opened mouth.

Then he took a few steps back, opening the distance between the two of them.

At this time, a figure appeared on the bank of the river. It turned out to be a woman who was fishing at the mouth of the river. When she saw the three people by the river, she said hello, "Oh, come take a bath at this time!"

"Yeah, ah, the water is very good." Ji Kaiyang tried his best to suppress his excitement, and blurted out a sentence.

Compared with him, You Hua is much more childish, he couldn't hide his blush cheeks and wet eyes, so he had to turn his back.

After she disappeared, Ji Kaiyang regained his composure and said, "Let's go up."

He quickly dressed and went ashore.

You Hua was very slow, the kiss and touch left a deep impression on him, he felt a flame burning his throat, he bent down, dipped his face in the river water, waited until the burning feeling disappeared, Walk ashore slowly.

Just like when they came, they carried Ning Jiancheng back, but the difference was that they stopped talking and joking, and the two of them had their own concerns and didn't say a word.Only Ning Jiancheng was happy in his heart, celebrating the success of his plan.

How to become a warrior in three years.

This is a problem that Ji Kaiyang must solve after he decides to give You Hua an adult ceremony.

He went to ask his father Wei Yi.The leader was very happy, because if Ji Kaiyang wanted to succeed him, he would have to pass this test sooner or later.

There are two ways to become a warrior: one is to be brave and fearless in the war and make military exploits, just like Lu Gaorui; the other is to kill the most ferocious animal, the Triceratops, and bring the dragon's heart back to the tribe.

The last one was told by Lian Xu to Ji Kaiyang.

There has been no war for many years, and Ji Kaiyang's time is limited, so it is obviously unrealistic to wait for the war.He can only use the second method.

He then visited Lu Gaorui to ask for advice on how to kill Qujiaolong.

That evening, Ji Kaiyang found You Hua and said only one sentence: "Tomorrow, we will go to Shendong."
