In the hot June, Ramesses I closed his eyes peacefully as if to respond to the scorching sun.

The most skilled craftsmen and the highest priests performed the body preservation ceremony for Ramses I: the body was washed inside and out with palm wine, the lungs, liver, intestines and stomach were removed, mummified separately, and then placed in canopy in cans.

The heart is usually left in the body without any treatment, because the Egyptians believed that this is the basic carrier of a person's soul; the Egyptians also did not recognize the cognitive function of the brain, so after breaking the thin bones that separate the nasal cavity and the cranial cavity, the brain will be removed. remove.

Then a hook-shaped iron rod was inserted straight into the cranial cavity along the nasal cavity, vigorously stirred the brain until it became liquid, and then flowed out along the nasal cavity.The cranial cavity was then wiped clean with a linen cloth, and resin was poured into the brain to seal and fix the interior.

The body cavity and the removed lungs, liver, intestines and stomach are washed again with palm wine; the body is then buried in natron powder for as long as forty days, and the chest cavity is also filled with natronine powder; Dehydrates the body, which contains high salt concentrations, and prevents the growth and decay of body bacteria.

Finally, wrap the mummy with layers of linen cloth, apply tar or resin to seal and fix the body, and insert amulets with magical protective effects into the shroud to protect the body from the invasion of evil spirits and help the soul to reach eternal life smoothly. realm.

It takes seventy days to complete the whole process before the mummy can be sent to the mausoleum for burial.

The country cannot be without a king for a day. During this period, Miyamon's father, Merenputa, or Seti I, must first take office to stabilize the regime.

The enthronement ceremony of each new pharaoh is scheduled to be held on the Opit Festival, which is scheduled for the second month of the annual flood season and lasts for eleven days.

It is only June now, and the water level of the Nile River has just started to rise, and it will flood regularly in July. Therefore, Seti I can only take over the country with a real name and wait for the arrival of the festival before he can really ascend the throne.

Among all the people, the saddest one is Miyamon.

No matter how mature he is, he can't completely restrain his grief like his father and use work to numb himself; nor is he like Princess Theo, who was called back to see Ramesses I for the last time, and he didn't get along with his grandfather for a long time.

It was the grandfather who loved him the most, the grandfather who pampered him the most, he couldn't help but be sad, no matter how much Princess Theo teased him, he couldn't lift his spirits.

"I've never seen Miyamon so depressed..." Moses sighed quietly, "It seems that the pharaoh... the death of the former pharaoh hit him harder than we imagined The medium one is bigger..."

"Yeah, I heard that it was Mi Yameng who stayed with Grandpa until the last moment. I thought he was already mentally prepared, but I didn't expect to be so depressed..." Princess Theo also had a sad face. .

Miyamon's bright golden pupils are no longer shining, and his flamboyant handsome face has never shown a smile... What can I do...

Only Yelan can best understand the pain of losing a loved one. After all... he has experienced it twice.

When Enkidu left for the first time, in order to protect Uruk from divine punishment, he had no time to grieve, so he could barely cheer himself up and use busyness to stop the pain from eroding his heart; the second time Gilgamesh left, he was like It is falling into the dark abyss, desperate but unable to see a ray of light, and letting the sorrow engulf himself.

If it weren't for the agreement with Enkidu, the promise with the king, and the company of Ereshkigal, he might have sunk into the black mud of self-pity and could not escape.

"You guys go back first, Miyamon is handed over to me."

The two children are still worried, but they are really at the end of their rope, and they can only believe that Yelan will have a solution.

"Miamon, you can be sad and depressed, but don't be so extreme that you don't eat or say anything, otherwise we will be very worried."

"...I'm not sad! Grandpa, grandpa is going to accompany Lord Sun God, so he should feel happy! Yes, I want to bless grandpa happily!"

"...Obviously, I want to be happy..."

"Miameng, do you still remember the story of the king I told..." Yelan narrated his past in a soothing voice, but no one knew the pain of him digging his own wound.

"Miamon, I have also experienced your grief now, but ah...we are still alive, we will continue to move towards tomorrow, and there is still a bright future waiting for us to create."

"You don't have to force yourself to be happy for Pharaoh Menpatila's departure. You are his favorite grandson. You are entitled to be sad and cry, but after you have vented your anger, please cheer up and continue to live in your heart." Walk proudly on the road of life."

Ye Lan hugged Miyameng into her arms and buried him deeply in her chest: "Cry, no one will see, no one will hear, and I will forget what I saw and heard today, so please don't cry." Stop your footsteps, please continue to bloom your brilliance.”

Yelan felt the trembling shoulders of the child in her arms, but she didn't feel the wet clothes.

Alas... This stubborn and proud child, even in this situation, won't shed a single tear...

It seemed that he was exhausted due to a hunger strike, and it seemed that Yelan's embrace was too warm. Mi Yameng fell into a deep sleep, and the corners of his mouth curled up faintly in his sleep, probably because he saw the person he missed the most.

The next morning, the restored golden pupil stared fiercely at Ye Lan: "Last night will be my last weakness, no matter what kind of heart-piercing pain, I will never lose my composure again!"

Ye Lan smiled slightly: "Okay, I won't tell others."

"I, I didn't say that. This is a promise you made yourself. The sin of deceiving the grandson of Pharaoh... the son is very serious!"

"Hey hey~ I promised myself, I will never tell others." It seems that being tired is one of Wang's essential attributes =w=

Suddenly, a petite figure rushed in and hugged Miyameng: "Miyameng, you finally recovered~ Do you know how worried my sister is~"

"Let go, let go of me, Sister Wang! You are already at the age of marriage, how can you embrace men so casually!"

"It's okay! Because you are my lovely Miyamon~"

"...Married?!" Ye Lan was belatedly surprised.

He looked at the figure of Princess Lower Tio, she was only a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, even if she developed late, she was still very young, right? !

Moses walked forward slowly: "Ye still doesn't know, right? Her Royal Highness's fiancé has already been selected, and the wedding date is set not long after Her Majesty Pharaoh ascends the throne."

"Yes, yes, and my fiancé works in the palace, so I can visit you often in the future~" Compared with her fiancé, Princess Theo cares more about whether she can get along with her lovely younger brother.

"Sister Wang! Don't pinch my face!"

Seeing that none of the people felt that Princess Tio was too young to marry, Yelan couldn't help but wonder if he didn't know the culture here too well.

I heard that the younger people get married and start a family the younger they are, so it should be within the normal range to marry at the age of [-] or [-]... Is it?

The only common sense left in Yelan's mind is really not enough for him to judge the normal age of marriage in this era in Egypt.

But this is the case...Princess Tio will stay in the palace forever, so Mi Yamen will have one more person to accompany her, and the former Pharaoh has also passed away, so can he also leave?

Ye Lan has never forgotten the fact that she is destined to leave Egypt.

After thinking about it, he decided to ask the current pharaoh to take back his post after he officially ascended the throne and let him go.

However, before that, there is a big hurdle to pass.

On a sunny day, Mi Yameng seemed to be in a good mood, and Yelan confessed to him her decision to leave.

"You still want to leave?!" Sure enough, His Royal Highness was furious, "After spending so long with us, don't you have any feelings for me? Don't you feel nostalgia for me, Moses, and this country? !"

"...Miyamon, I have already said that I will leave sooner or later..."

"You just don't take me seriously?! Have you ever had me in your heart?!"

"I have to find..."

"No! You're not looking! You're just wandering aimlessly!"

Ye Lan was silent.

"What are you afraid of? Why won't you stay?"

"Afraid?...Am I afraid?" Ye Lan asked in confusion.

"That's right! You're afraid! You're afraid of bonding with others and leaving you!"

Ye Lan looked at Mi Yameng who scolded her sharply, and felt that he did not look like a nine-year-old child, but a sage who saw through the world.

"Speaking of looking for someone to accompany you, which one of the people you met did you take to heart?"

"You have been refusing, refusing to let people break into your heart again, so you have to leave when you are about to lose your heart defense, don't you?!"

Miyameng was very confident at first, but Yelan confided his past to him and made him feel that he had finally entered Yelan's heart, but now that Yelan was talking about leaving, how could he not be furious.

But he also believed that Ye Lan, who was willing to confess the past to him, had shaken the barriers he had erected in getting along with them.

"Stop deceiving yourself! You are afraid of the pain of leaving the one you love, so you don't want to form a bond!"

"A few days ago when you cheered me up, you said it was so high-sounding, but you yourself look like this!"

"Think about it for me! But, I will not promise to let you go!"

Ye Lan sat slumped with her head in her arms, her expression heavy and annoyed.

Could it be...he is really as bad as Miyamon said, when he meets and gets along with people, but he turns around and forgets in order not to let himself suffer; he doesn't try to open his heart, doesn't try to form a bond, he just deceives himself Wandering around the world, living every day like a walking dead?

When comforting Miyamon, he said that he wanted to move towards tomorrow and open up the future. Apart from looking forward to the day when he would reunite with his old friends, did he ever have any expectations for tomorrow and the future?

He still can only see the past, or can only remember the past... From the day Enkidu died, he has never grown up...

......

No! There’s nothing wrong with missing the good old days! At that time, he was so happy, with Enkidu, Jill, Aaron, and Uruk by his side. It’s not like now, with nothing.. ....

I don't want to move anymore, I don't want to face tomorrow anymore, let him sink into the memories...as long as this...it's fine...

In this way, there will not be only one person; in this way, the cold of loneliness will not invade him; in this way, he will no longer have to endure the terrible loneliness...

He's...tired...
