Book 2: Still a Tale of Family Ties: I suddenly felt a sense of relief and was about to close my eyes for a nap when I collapsed to the ground. I looked at my brother in confusion, only to see him kneeling on the ground, an arrow piercing his chest. I looked behind him and saw Emperor Yuanping riding a horse, bow and arrow in hand, the bowstring still trembling. I felt a little dazed, as if I were dreaming, dreaming that my brother was dead. But my brother was so invincible, how could he die? My brother… he was so powerful, how could he die? I crawled over in a daze, shook my brother's body, and called out, "Brother, aren't we leaving?" "Brother, why aren't you talking to me?" "Brother, brother, you promised you wouldn't be angry with me if I called you by your first name, why are you still ignoring me?" "Brother, weren't you going to take me home to find Mom and Dad? Why aren't we leaving?" Books 3 and 4: "... Brother Yong, I forgot my keys." "It's okay, you don't need to bring them."
