Ten Days End

The three of us lowered our heads, and no one spoke.

It seemed that everyone could not accept that this day had really come.

Brother Aries saw that we had been keeping our heads down and silent, but he stood up with a smile and said, "Actually, I don't want to go out either, but I've been here for too long... It's time to go out and take a look."

"Brother Yang..." Uncle Hu said in a low voice, "I, I said it a long time ago... You should leave when you want to... You don't have to care about us... After all, we are all burdens..."

This sentence was like a pen dipped in ink, deepening the feeling of loss in our hearts.

"You are not a burden, on this "train"... You are my family." Brother Aries said, "I'm leaving soon, and I don't want to hear sad speeches before that."

"Brother Yang..." Uncle Hu's voice was a little choked, "It is said that once you become a "sky", you can come and go freely here... But we don't know each other's appearance or each other's name... How can I find you? How can I know whether you have gone out or come back? ! I..."

"Tiger, I promise you. "Brother Aries said, "I will definitely come back to see you after I become the "sky". When I come back here... I will definitely leave a mark for you. I will draw sheep horns everywhere I walk and guide you in the direction of progress."

"Really...?" Uncle Tiger asked.

"Really." Brother Aries nodded, "If you are already the "earth level" by then, then I will go to visit your game in person to see your progress."

"Okay!" Uncle Tiger stood up suddenly, "Brother Aries! Let's make a deal... If I become the "earth level", I will not kill anyone for a day without hearing from you."

"Ha!" Brother Aries smiled bitterly, "Tiger, are you punishing me or yourself?"

"I don't care!" Uncle Tiger waved his hand, "Anyway, we have a deal! I will always wait for your news!"

"Okay. "Brother Aries nodded.

After saying this, Brother Sheep turned his head and looked at Uncle Snake.

He was silent for a while, then took out a thick notebook from his arms and handed it to Uncle Snake.

"Brother Sheep...what is this...?" Uncle Snake asked.

"I owe you something." Brother Aries said, "so I also paved a way for you."

"What...?"

"I wrote down a hundred difficult questions." Brother Aries said, "If you can write down all the answers one day, I will definitely come back and find a way to make you a "earth snake."

"A hundred difficult questions..." Uncle Snake took the notebook and lowered his head silently, "Brother Sheep...are you really not trying to comfort me? With my brain...how can I answer all the puzzles you wrote?"

"One day I will." He smiled at Uncle Snake, "This is the agreement between you and me, and we have agreed on it. "

Uncle Snake smiled bitterly: "Brother Sheep... You are obviously leaving, but you still care about us... Are you afraid that we will lose the motivation to move forward...?"

Brother Aries did not answer, but shook his head and said: "I need you two to promise me one thing."

"What is it...?"

"Help me take good care of Rat." Brother Aries pointed at me, "Remember what I said, only we can teach her a lesson in this world, no one else can do it except us."

I finally couldn't help it after hearing this.

My tears kept flowing in the mask, making me very uncomfortable.

Brother Aries is leaving.

This brother Aries who gave me food, gave me a place to live, didn't despise me for not being able to make money, and helped me out is leaving.

I will never see him again.

On this train, no other "zodiac" will love me so much.

"Brother Aries..." I stood up, crying so hard that I couldn't breathe, "Brother Aries... Can you tell me your name... Can you tell me what you look like..."

Uncle Tiger and Uncle Black Sheep ignored me, and now Brother Aries was leaving too.

He slowly came over, gently touched my head, and then held me in his arms.

"Okay, Rat... Don't cry." He said softly, "You don't need to know what I look like, nor do you need to know my name, because when I see you, I will recognize you immediately, and then you will find that I don't have the goat-like voice I have now."

"But I don't want you to leave..." I grabbed Brother Aries' clothes tightly, and I felt that if I let go this time, I would have nothing.

"You should grow up." Brother Aries said, "If you don't have me... Can you earn the "Tao"? "

"I... I can..." I kept sobbing, feeling so uncomfortable in my heart.

"Then don't cry, I'll give youA good thing. "Brother Aries said as he took out two "Tao" from his arms. The two "Tao" looked like they had been there for a long time and had turned a little black. "Rat, these two "Tao" are my lucky charms. They were given to me by my two best brothers. I have been carrying them with me all these years. Now I give them to you."

"Lucky charm...?" I reached out and carefully took the two "Tao", as if I had taken my whole world.

"Next time we meet, return ten of them to me with interest." Brother Aries said with a smile, "Then we can have a good chat. Can you promise me?"

"I can!" I nodded vigorously.

That night, we watched Brother Aries cross the entire train. Even Uncle Black Sheep, who had not seen him for a long time, came out to pay him a salute.

All the "Zodiac" walked out of the door respectfully and stood on both sides of the corridor to welcome the birth of a "Heaven Level".

Their eyes were very complicated, and only I was crying all the time.

We saw with our own eyes that Brother Aries disappeared in a burst of golden light, and he completely left the "train".

Uncle Tiger hugged me and whispered: "Little mouse... I will be promoted to the "ground level" as soon as possible... I will send you snacks every day in the future... Wait for me for a few more days..."

I buried my head in Uncle Tiger's belly and cried very hard.

The three of us lost our teacher, and I lost Brother Aries.

After that, Uncle Tiger, Uncle Snake and I were sent to different new teacher's rooms.

Looking at the large group of strange brothers and sisters, I felt very uneasy in my heart. I am a person who can't earn "Tao" every day, so naturally I can't be liked by the new teachers.

In such a place, only Brother Aries will not dislike me.

I miss Brother Aries all the time. The two remaining "Tao" in my hand are all my sustenance. I often stare at them in a daze.

Brother Aries has been gone for more than ten days...

He should have returned to the real world now, which is great... I... I am happy for him.

Although I said I was happy... but I felt like crying for some reason.

Brother Aries... what do you look like and what is your name?

When we meet again, can you let me hear your real voice?

By then, Uncle Tiger and Uncle Snake will also become "earth-level", right? I wonder if we can continue to eat at the same table? By then... will Uncle Tiger still give me chicken legs?

I was distracted, but I saw two men and two women coming from a distance.

Ah ah ah! It's a participant!

It's the first group of participants after I perfected the rules!

I have guests here!

Brother Aries! You wait!

I will definitely earn ten "Tao" and will never embarrass you again! I will definitely scare you when we meet next time!

I am Shu Hua... no, I am a human-mouse.

I am Brother Aries's most beloved student, and I am about to start my "test"!
