The prince's master was alone, dejected, walked back to the house with heavy steps, called in a subordinate ant, and said:
"Call Xiao Yi to come to my study." At this time, Xiao Yi was packing his luggage in the room and was about to leave the White Mansion.
The ant entered and said:
"Xiao Yi, I want you to go to his study." Xiao Yi stood up and said:
"Okay, I'll be there right away." After Xiao Yi packed up his luggage, he entered the Prince Master's study and saluted:
"Sir." The prince's master raised his head and said:
"Xiao Yi, please sit down." After Xiao Yi sat down, the Prince Master asked:
"How is your injury?" Xiao Yi replied:
"Thank you, Mr. Sir, for your love. This junior is much better. Today there are many disturbances in the house, please don't mind, Sir." The Crown Prince felt a little relieved when he heard Xiao Yi's words and said:
"Ashamed, sir, you failed to fulfill your promise. You won't blame him, right?" Xiao Yi said:
"Sir, what are you talking about? I don't know how to be grateful to you for taking me in, sir?" The prince's master looked at it and said:
"Xiao Yi, you have to leave." Xiao Yi faced the prince's master and said:
"Xiao Yi came here to say goodbye to you sir." The prince's master looked at Xiao Yi sitting in front of him. He seemed to have a lot to say to Xiao Yi, but he hesitated and had to say:
"Okay, sir, I want to keep Xiao Yi in the house for a few more days to make up for my debt to you." Xiao Yi refused:
"Xiao Yi accepted Mr.'s wish. Xiao Yi wants to go home and have a look." It seems that Xiao Yi is eager to go home!
The prince's master couldn't say anything more and asked again:
"What are Xiao Yi's plans to do here?" Xiao Yi expressed his thoughts to the Prince's Master and said:
"After Xiao Yi returns, he will deal with these affairs of the ant clan. Then he plans to go north, walk more and see more, think about his future path, where he should go, and find his own position." A smile appeared on the prince's face, and his smile was so The nature is so amiable and thoughtful. In fact, it should have known long ago that the ants are not the things in the pond and will leave sooner or later.
If it is a dragon, it should soar in the nine heavens. The divine dragon saw its head but not its tail, and then said:
"Let's go." Xiao Yi stood up and saluted, saying:
"Sir, please take care of yourself and don't worry about trivial matters." The prince's master just waved his hand without saying a word.
Xiao Yi bowed and said:
"Sir, farewell." Then he walked out of the Prince's Master's study, and the Prince's Master looked at its leaving figure and said:
"Maybe it's the dragon." The Prince Master couldn't bear to see the sadness when he and Xiao Yi were parting, so he didn't leave the house to see him off, and ordered Xia Yi and his red-headed ant to leave the house to see him off.
Xiao Yi stood in the deep courtyard of the house, looked back, picked up the package, and walked out slowly. The lower ant and its red-headed ant followed behind. The little ant turned to face them. The red-headed ant stood up and said:
"Xiao Yi, come back often when you have nothing to do." Xiao Yi just nodded slightly, turned around and got into the carriage behind him, drove out, crossed the streets and alleys, and went out of the city gate.
After running out and stopping, he got out of the carriage and looked up at the city tower. The prince's master was standing on the city tower looking at each other. After getting off the car, Xiao Yi took a step forward, knelt down and looked up, saying:
"Sir." The prince's master standing on the tower waved his hand and said:
"Go." Xiao Yi got up and got on the carriage and drove away. The Prince's Master looked far away at the hazy green mountains, which stretched for dozens of miles.
Drive a car to the Grand Canyon. This is the junction between the termite tribe and the ant tribe. There are piles of corpses here. There must have been wars here. I got out of the car and collected these bones and said:
"Let's go home." After a short stay, we got in the car and crossed the border to the Qingshui River. On the other side was their home, the ant clan's nest.
After getting off the bus, the collected bones were buried by the Qingshui River. The river water is fast and crystal clear, and the fish are chasing each other and playing without any worries. They were born as fish, just like them, they enjoy the water.
Go around the clear river to the other side. The ant nest has experienced the war and is no longer what it was before. It is surrounded by dead branches and leaves. It hurts my heart to see the scene in front of me.
The ants climbed up the branches and leaves and entered the cave. Many tunnels collapsed and were blocked. There were many ant skeletons here, thinking of the tragedy of that battle.
It grew up here, and the place where it was born and raised was so miserable. What I saw along the way were piles of corpses. They died fighting for the clan, and there were no ants to collect their corpses. They were left to explode in the wilderness and plundered the grass. The dilapidated scene made the ants heartbroken.
Avoid the collapsed tunnel to find another one and enter the ant chamber. This was their former palace. The palace was looted by the enemy and was in a mess.
Looking back on the past, there are only memories of its childhood. It was once loved and protected by hundreds of ants, just like a baby sleeping in swaddling clothes, it needed to be cared for by its own ants.
No matter how beautiful the childhood was, it has become a thing of the past, and now they are gone, leaving it alone as an ant.
The afterglow of the setting sun made the clouds on the horizon red. I walked into one of the ant chambers and found that there was still food accumulated here. I guess there were still ants living here. I was so excited that I ran out and looked around.
Seeing twenty ants standing in front of it, he said:
"Little ants." They were little ants' childhood friends. They finally saw their own ants. They were so excited that they couldn't even speak. They felt like they were choking in their throats, and their tears couldn't stop flowing down.
The little ant walked down and stood among them. When he saw the familiar faces from his childhood, he didn't know what to say, so he couldn't speak for a long time.
Twenty ants welcomed Little Ant into the hut. They had not seen each other for a long time and had a lot to say in their hearts. One of the ants said:
"Xiao Yi, you must be hungry." Xiao Yi just nodded slightly and said:
"After traveling for so long, you are really hungry." One of the ants came forward and said:
"I'll cook for you." The ant entered the kitchen and started preparing dinner. The other ants sat together and asked:
"How did you get here after leaving the ant tribe all these years?" Xiao Yi looked at them and told them about his experiences after leaving the ant tribe.
The other ants sat aside and listened quietly, and then said:
"You are suffering. The clan elder has his own reasons for driving you out of the clan. It is using another way to protect you from the pain of war. This is the only way to do it." Upon hearing the clan elder, Xiao Yi's eyes Tears flashed down his face, his face turned to the side, and tears fell secretly.
When the clan elder was about to die, it was unable to see the clan elder for the last time. The clan elder was the closest ant in the world. The death of the clan elder was the heaviest pain in its heart. This wound can never be healed. healing.
It wiped away its tears, suppressed a smile, and said:
"Where is the queen? Why can't we see the queen?" These ants began to cry uncontrollably and choked with sobs:
"When the enemy invaded the ant nest, the queen had already committed suicide. The army was defeated miserably by the Qingshui River, and their bones were everywhere in the grass. All the treasures, civil and military ministers, nobles and their wives were captured by the enemy. , and became their slaves. There are still some remnant soldiers who left here, fell into the grass to become bandits, and occupied the mountain to become kings. Only twenty ants like us are left hiding in the cave, living a life of darkness." In the cave, Gradually it dimmed, and it was so dark that you couldn't even see your fingers. They were silent in the darkness.
An ant groped out and said:
"Why don't you light a lamp?" Then the oil lamp was lit, and the cave was dim and light. The ants placed the prepared meal in front of them.
Xiao Yi looked at these meals, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said:
"Yes, there is hope for our restoration. We have an army that can help us restore our country." A group of ants heard it say some unclear words, stretched out their hands to touch its forehead, and asked in confusion:
"Xiao Yi, are you out of your mind? There are only twenty ants here, and where is the army coming from?" Xiao Yi said hopefully:
"We also have an army of bandits occupying the mountains. They are our hope." The idea was so bold that it surpassed ordinary ants, which surprised the surrounding ants and said:
"You're crazy. They are robbers who kill insects without blinking an eye. You don't want your life. Do you think it's still the same ant tribe as before?" Xiao Yi's thoughts really made Chang Yi unable to understand, and then Xiao Yi said something that was shocking to the world. If so, he said:
"If you don't become crazy, you will become a devil. It is difficult for those who are not crazy to achieve great things. Even if there is a glimmer of hope, I will give it a try; even if it is a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, I will have to break into it." After that, the little ant pondered for a while and said:
"Tomorrow all the people will gather together to collect the remains of the martyrs, bury them in batches, and erect monuments to commemorate them. This will increase the momentum." They listened to Xiao Yi's arrangement, but still didn't understand, and could only respond:
"Okay, let us gather the people tomorrow. You can go to bed first. The room has been tidied up. Go to bed early." Xiao Yi walked into his room and looked around.
This room is still the same room, unchanged. The bed in front of him was still his original bed. He walked at a slow pace, stood next to the bed, and sat down. Too many thoughts were memories of his childhood.
I remember that when it was young, it lay on the bed and cried secretly. Grandpa walked into its room and told it the story of King Goujian of Yue.
It always remembers this sentence,
"Anyone who achieves great things must endure things that ordinary ants cannot endure." This sentence is deeply imprinted in his mind and flowing in his blood.
Lie down, use the leaves as a quilt, and blow out the candle next to you. It was late at night, and I began to hear faint voices next door, and it took a long time for it to quiet down.
The quiet night made him close his eyes and gradually fall asleep. At this time, the call of an old ant echoed around, saying:
"Little ant, little ant, wake up, wake up." The aunt opened her eyes, sat up on the bedside, looked around, and said:
"Grandpa, Grandpa, where are you? The little ant misses you." It kept looking around, and at this time there was an old ant standing in front of it, with a dazzling light shining around the old ant, like the light of the Buddha.
