[Comprehensive] Mirror of Death and Life
Chapter 20 New Years
This is my fifth winter in this world.Forced to wrap up in a thick winter coat and a dark blue scarf, I stood in the corridor looking at the gray sky outside, and secretly carved a scratch on a pillar with a shuriken.There are already four on the pillar, which were specially added when I was able to pick up the kunai. I don't know what is the point of reminding myself how long I have been away from the world of the previous life, but it is just a habit.
The snowflakes are falling finely, more than an inch of snow has accumulated in the yard, the branches of the cherry trees are also covered with white stripes, the pond is frozen, and the carp in it have long been transferred to the house and kept in a fan-shaped water tank .Originally, given the location of the Land of Fire, winter is not so cold. I don't know what happened this year, and it even makes people feel like they are in the Land of Snow.
It is said that I was born in late autumn in November, the season when the leaves begin to fall. Winter has not yet come, and even the wind is soft and cool, far less bitter and icy than it is now.My mother can't sit in the corridor anymore, her belly is unexpectedly big, and she can't move around for a long time. She invited the doctor to see that she was twins. After hearing this, her parents turned their worries into joy. Probably because the more children there are, the stronger the future fighting power of the clan will be.
At this time, ninja babies are very precious, because the mortality rate of children is too high, no matter how many babies are born, it is not considered too many, and in many cases, adults can't live if they want to die.Anyway, this is the first newborn baby in my family after my generation, and everyone attaches great importance to it.
A few days ago, I listened to parents discussing what name to marry their unborn brother or sister. They filled a piece of paper and were still undecided. I peeled oranges and ate them.Unexpectedly, my father asked me to choose a name for my younger brother. I stuffed the orange slices into my mouth, wiped off the juice from my hands, and pointed at one with my sour-smelling fingers.
"Uchiha leaf..." the father pondered for a moment, "If both of them are boys, the other should be called Madara."
I think whether it is Ye Ye or Madara, they all sound good. I am a little excited when I think that there will be two soft dumplings for me to play with in the future.This excitement was seen through by Makoto Uchiha. He smiled and asked me jokingly if I am not worried that I will fall out of favor in front of my parents if I have a younger brother. Look, just thinking about it makes me tremble with fear.
My swordsmanship practice is still stuck in drawing the knife and swinging the knife, only one more forward thrust than before. I asked Cheng when he could chop wood. He glanced at me and thought about it. It will take another three to five years, haste makes waste, and you don't even think about how old those saber masters are called masters. I can't be in a hurry at such a young age.
I sighed and told him that I was afraid that I would not live to that old age, and that one day I might die on the battlefield before chopping wood.
Makoto Uchiha thought it made sense, so he simply told me how to practice in the future, telling me that there is only so much he can teach, and I have to explore the rest by myself.As for the sword moves and so on, wait for me to enjoy Sharingan and find him to copy.
Tsk, Sharingan is really a magic tool for cheating, and now I regret being blocked.
When the snow in the yard is more than four inches high, the New Year is here.I just came back from a B-level mission, and before I got home, I was greeted by Hui. He was wearing a blue scarf, the lower half of his face was buried in the scarf, and his clothes were changed into thick cotton padded clothes, black fabric. There is a big red and white fan on the back.Of course, no matter how thick the ninja's winter clothes are, they can't be much thicker. This is to prevent our actions from being affected.I haven't seen him for a while, and it's hard to meet him when I'm on missions. At first glance, I think he's grown taller, but his hair is still as short, and he's upturned energetically, holding a stack of greeting cards in his hand. Give me one when I arrive.
"What's this?" I was holding the card depicting the pattern of the mountain cherry leaf and was about to open it, but was stopped by Hui Wawa.
"This is a New Year's card, I'll see it when I go back!" I don't know if it was because of the cold wind, but his nose and ears were red from the cold, and he was staring at me and spreading his hands to me.
"...what are you doing?" I couldn't figure it out.
Hui's eyes doubled in size in an instant: "Where's my greeting card?!"
"Ah, I have to give it back," I muttered, "I'll give it to you tomorrow."
In the previous life, this kind of tradition was no longer popular, and I had very few friends. The only one who was more troublesome than me, naturally wouldn’t come here to send paper greeting cards like Hui. Well, I vaguely remember that it was Using a computer to send an electronic version... It's so rare, I still remember the term computer.
The technology tree in this world is very strange. There are electric lights and bathrooms, but most of the houses are penetrating and Japanese buildings made of wood. I have not seen such things as telephones and computers.Maybe ninjas don't need these two things. For communication, they still rely on primitive means such as ninja.
Hui also wanted to send greeting cards to other people, so he didn't have time to settle accounts with me, so before he left, he reminded him not to forget his greeting card.
Not long after we separated from Hui, Yazhi also came to see me.Possibly because the new year is approaching, she has shed her ninja bodysuit for a pink kimono and fluffy bunny headgear, which is very cute.Seeing me running over and leaving a row of shallow footprints on the snow, I can tell at a glance that I also used Chakra to control my walking strength.
When she saw the greeting card in my hand, she looked disappointed: "One step too late! Whose greeting card is this?"
"Hui's..." Before I finished speaking, I got another one in my hand. The pattern on it was the moon rabbit pounding rice, and the red background looked very festive.
Holding a stack of similar cards, Yazhi looked at me shyly, her face was blushing, she wore a snow-white fur collar, her skin was fair and her eyes were like black jade: "Remember to give me the first greeting card."
When I got home, I found that my mother had prepared greeting cards and brushes for me. I sat at the desk and thought hard, unable to think of what to write.Both Hui and Yazhi wrote a lot of words in their greeting cards. It would be too perfunctory if I just wrote a happy new year, but I can’t think of more. This is simply more difficult than asking me to swing a knife [-] times.Speaking of swinging a knife, I flipped through the third card at hand. There was a bright moon in the sky on a dark blue background, and the big characters were simple and clear: Happy New Year-Makoto Uchiha, with sharp pens and concise words, just like him as quickly.
The greeting card for him is also the best written, even the number of words has not changed, just change the signature to my own name.leftover……
I held my chin, staring at Bai Xue in the yard in a daze.That stupid koi was swimming up and down the desk. Pebbles and water plants were specially placed in the fan-shaped glass tank. Now this little red fish is hiding its body in the green water plants. Duan knocked on the glass, and it started to swim all at once, burrowing its head into the root of the aquatic plants in a panic, but forgot that its tail was still exposed.
This stupid picture reminds me of a certain fox, and the red hook jade is hanging around my neck, wearing it next to my body, providing a steady stream of heat in the cold winter.
Unknowingly, the pen moved with my heart, a fox appeared in the pen, with a fluffy tail, a blank expression, and two black bean-like eyes. I couldn't help laughing, feeling that I had accidentally painted it ugly, but It's still very cute, and I couldn't help but write a little fox next to it, Happy New Year.
I just put down my pen, looked at the first greeting card I wrote, and didn’t know who to give it to, so I simply threw it in the drawer, and the following greeting cards were all a blessing with a simple stroke and a sentence by analogy.
As a result, the day after the greeting card was sent out, someone came to the door.
Hui angrily waved the card in his hand at me, very dissatisfied: "How can I be so ugly!"
I almost forgot what I drew, so I snatched it up and took a look. The short prickly hair, the smirk on his face, there is no one else but him, I think it is quite expressive.
It's a pity that the person who was painted didn't think so. He insisted that I uglified him. The wise and mighty Lord Hui would never laugh so stupidly. I laughed a few times and pretended not to hear this sentence.
According to the custom, on the first day of the new year, we will go to the shrine in the southernmost part of the clan to listen to the bell and make a wish. I was called up by my second brother early in the morning, and I changed into a black kimono and put on a dark blue feather. The family crest of the Uchiha clan is painted on the fabric, and the second brother is also dressed similarly.He just came home yesterday, his hair should have been cut short by his mother, more like a hedgehog.Seeing me sniggering, he directly rubbed my hair.
Although the mother has a big belly, she still insists on going to the shrine. She tied her long hair behind her back, and a few strands of hair hang down her cheeks. The brilliance of motherhood makes her eyebrows gentle and soft, and she can't see the hostility of the ninja.In stark contrast to her are her father and second brother, especially the latter. He came back later than me. He had just come down from the front line. His bloody aura and murderous aura had not subsided, and he was blocked by his father—afraid of his murderous aura. Stimulate younger brother in mother's belly.The second brother had no choice but to retreat to the back and walk in a row with me.
Along the way, I saw the clansmen coming out one after another. Yazhi was supporting the great elder, Hui was holding his mother's hand, and the woman who gave me beans last time was holding her child. Everyone greeted each other and said blessings. Go to Nanhe Shrine.
I found that the people of the tribe all prefer dark clothes. When walking in the slowly increasing crowd, all they see are black and blue kimonos, no matter men, women, old or young, coupled with the iconic black hair and black eyes, it is really dark.Fortunately, everyone was very happy, talking and laughing while walking, which diluted the depressing feeling of this color.
The snow was very thick along the way, and the soles of the feet creaked and creaked. Everything around was very quiet, white, and the branches were covered with snow.The dark tiles of every household are covered with snow and the gray sky blends into one. Some elderly people say that it will snow tonight in this weather. Shimenawa ropes have been tied in front of every house, and the grass ropes are tied. The paper hangings are all cut out by the owner himself with white paper, in order to bless the gods.For ninjas, it should be the god of ninjas, Sage of the Six Paths. It is said that he himself is a monk who accidentally discovered the truth of Chakra and spread the teachings of ninja religion.
Not long after walking, I saw the bright red torii gate standing in front of Nanga Shrine.The torii is also covered with snow, wrapped in a thick cotton coat like a human being. Behind the torii, there is a pattern of red and white fans on the gate of the main hall of the shrine, which symbolizes that the shrine is owned by our family.This is rare in the entire ninja world. It symbolizes the powerful strength of the Uchiha clan from the side, and it is also the most important place for our clan. It seems that the discussions between the father and the elders are carried out in the shrine.
