Freedom

The wind was getting stronger and stronger. Looking through the gate of the inner courtyard, leaves rose outside the door and flew on the ground, as if they were rising and falling in the sea, sometimes rolled up and then blown down.

The wind in the inner courtyard is blocked by the wall. Although it is very large and violent, it is obviously gentler than outside the courtyard. It cannot rage in the corridor and cannot fly sand and stones.

No one cares about Gao Yue's existence.

Gao Yue stood by the corridor, looking through the courtyard gate at the fallen leaves flying, allowing the strong wind to blow on his face.

His sleeves and hair were blown up by the wind, floating.

His appearance is handsome, but his slightly childish face has no expression, like a beautiful statue.

Gao Yue looked at the dark clouds in the sky, and his thoughts returned to that day...

That day, the weather was as bad as today.

Gao Yue remembered his sweet face and the faint fragrance: ‘Shunzi…’

‘Brother Gao Yue…Brother Gao Yue…I’m waiting for you to come back…’

Shunzi's crisp sound still echoed in Gao Yue's ears.

Shunzi's sweet smile and the faint fragrance emitted by his body are unforgettable.

‘Shunzi, I will definitely come back’, a glimmer of hope ignited in Gao Yue’s heart. Although he didn’t know where he was now and what his destiny was, “Shunzi” - this is the hope and motivation that will make him persevere until now and survive.

Gao Yue's world changed overnight. When he thought it was over and when he decided to face it again and live a good life, things were not as he expected.

Is it all over?

To everyone's surprise, this coup has deeper inside information.

This story that has been struggling for thousands of years has begun again on Gao Yue.

The whistling sound of the wind, mixed with the rustling sound of trees swaying...

Rust...rust...rust...rust...

Mixed with...

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Mixed in the sound of the wind, rustling... rattle...

The sound is faintly visible.

A rapid bird cry came, coming from the wind, and soon disappeared into the wind.

At this time, the sky was already dark and the wind was getting stronger and stronger. The leaves and sand from the strong wind were surging towards the inner courtyard, sand, gravel, dust, fallen leaves... began to fly in the courtyard.

Swift... rattle... rattle... rattle... sound faintly.

I heard it, heard it, and the sound came from the corner of the inner courtyard.

Looking for the sound, I was confused.

All the things on the ox cart have been moved to the ground in the courtyard, and everyone is moving them back to the corridor with all their might.

Although the torch on the door frame was blocked by the wall, it was still blown by the wind to extinguish it.

The servants' newly lit torches were extinguished by the wind, and the servants quickly lit the lanterns.

This kind of lantern comes from the Tang Dynasty and is called "suffering from the wind". It is not afraid of the wind blowing.

The reason why it is called "Yang Yufeng" is because it is a lantern used by the government.

This lamp is covered with tung oil all over the body, and it is very tightly pasted and the wind cannot be blown out, so it can kill the wind.

Several servants were carrying a few "angry wind" and hung them under the corridor.

The corridor was immediately bright, and the wind blew the lanterns, making everyone's shadows sway left and right.

Angry wind lantern

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

The sound is rapid and sharp, mixed with the sound of the wind. You can hear different sounds by carefully distinguishing them.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha…This is clearly a bird's chirping.

Yes, it's the sound of a bird.

Gao Yue, who was as quiet as the statue and as cold as the frost, suddenly shook his whole body, and he heard the cries of birds in the strong wind.

‘Are they?’ Gao Yue heard the sudden sound of familiar birds singing. He looked around nervously, chasing the source of the sound.

‘Are they brought here too?’ Gao Yue felt excited in his heart, and a look of concern appeared on his face, and he listened carefully...

Is such concern... very important?

Yes! For Gao Yue, they are very important!

From his concerned expressions, his nervous expressions, and his out-of-control manifestations, we can see that they touched his heart.

At this moment, Gao Yue was alone, not sure where he was taken to. There was no one around him who knew each other, but they were his only companions.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

‘It’s good luck, it’s really them’, Gao Yue grabbed the lantern with one hand and rushed towards the place where the sound came out.

He had been calm all the time and suddenly seemed a little out of control.

Outside the corridor, the wind was strong, and it was blowing hard............... blocking the road.

I can't open my eyes. Even though there are lanterns, I still can't see the road in front of me clearly.

Sand, leaves and other debris formed a small whirlpool, flying, and then hit Gao Yue with his head and face.

Gao Yue could not open his eyes at all, so he could only use his sleeves to block his face, chasing the source of the sound and exploring forward.

Rush rust... rash rash... rash rash... rash...

The sand, dust, and fallen leaves made Gao Yue unkempt.

The voice was getting closer and closer, and Gao Yue no longer cared about his demeanor and stumbled forward.

Finally arrived.

In the corner of this wall, there is actually a large bird cage.

The bird cage is made of ebony, and the cage also has golden "chrysanthemum pattern" and "tung pattern" marks.

The bird cage was obviously sent to the yard with the items from the ox cart.

Two snow-white birds were locked in the cage.

Their feathers are as white as snow, and they are worn with a golden leg ring on their right foot.

This golden foot ring is carved with a "l" pattern, and a circle surrounds the entire foot ring.

The interface of the leg ring is movable and the style is like a ring.

‘Auspiciousness, good fortune, it’s really you’, Gao Yue seemed to have seen his relatives, and his face was filled with sadness and joy.

These two snow-white birds are known as the "Oriental Gem" among birds.

White feathers, bright red crown, black long mouth, and slender feet - they are the red crane.

The Latin scientific name of the red-crowned crane "nipponianippon" is literally translated as "Japan of Japan", and has always been regarded as a holy bird by the Japanese royal family.

There are also records in the ancient "Japan Secretary" that the red-crowned crane is a bird representing Japan.

Naming the bird name after the country shows the importance of the red-crowned crane to this country.

When the red-crowned crane flies, there is a colorful rainbow light in its feathers.

Therefore, the feathers of the red-crowned crane are regarded as the most important treasure to suppress evil spirits, making the feathers of the red-crowned crane into arrows and hanging above the hall to suppress evil spirits.

The Emperor Qianyu wrapped the red-crowned crane feathers on his army's sword, saying that this would bring victory.

In some important rituals of the Japanese royal family, the feathers of the red-crowned crane are indispensable offerings.

When the Japanese Emperor was crowned, he should use the first wing feather of the red-crowned crane as a decoration.

This pair of red-crowned cranes was prepared early for the imperial palace for Gao Yue's coming-of-age ceremony and future coronation ceremony.

Therefore, "Ruyi, Good Luck" has accompanied Gao Yue for a long time.

The two birds were frightened in fear under the strong wind, constantly flapping their wings and screaming: "Gagahaha...Gagahaha..."

"Auspiciousness and good fortune, it's you! It's you really you." Gao Yue's excited voice trembled.

Gao Yue placed the lantern on the ground next to the cage and reached out to open the bird cage.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..." Gao Yue's hands were particularly slender and slender. He put one hand into the cage and gently soothe them while comforting them in a low voice, then reached out to open the bird cage with the other hand.

His fingers gently and delicately stroked the birds, with a gentle and kind voice.

The snow-white birds are so desperate and frightened in the dark under the strong wind.

Hearing Gao Yue's voice and seeing the familiar master, a pair of birds finally gradually became quiet in Gao Yue's comfort, but still could not hide the incomparable horror in his eyes.

Gao Yue carried "Auspicious" out of the cage, gently stroked it, comforted it, held it in his arms, and brought its heart close to it, and the hearts of each other were connecting.
