The moon is dark, the wind is high, and the snow is rustling.
In Kaishi Village, the place of exile, a corpse lay on the ground in the yard at the edge of the village.
The smell of blood mixed in the cold air, and the smell was so thick it was nauseating.
Several figures stood with swords in the courtyard, wearing black night clothes and black scarves covering their faces. The swords in their hands shone with a cold light under the refraction of the dim moonlight.
"Boss, kill them all." A man in black lowered his head and reported to the man standing at the door of the courtyard, "The Wei Mansion has exiled sixty-seven people, not a few."
"Where's that little kid?" the leader said calmly.
"Dead." As he spoke, the man in black used his sword to open the corpse at his feet, revealing a little baby pressed underneath. He was about five years old, with delicate features. His little body was lying in the snow, lifeless.
The leader didn't say anything, and walked slowly closer to the little baby. He stopped and squatted down beside the little baby. He put his hand on the little face that was so pale due to the loss of blood. He saw the tiny tear mole under the baby's left eye. , just let go and stood up.
Qiang - A cold light flashed in the snowy night, and the gray clothes on the little baby's abdomen reappeared with a crack, which was as deep as the body skin. The gray clothes had been dyed dark by blood, and the color was indistinguishable.
"Send the sinner out of the palace by removing flowers and trees, thinking that you can escape the disaster by hiding him here, huh." The sharp sword was sheathed, and the leader's sharp eyes swept across the yard coldly, "The mission is completed, go back and resume your life."
"yes!"
In an instant, the men in black dispersed.
The cold wind is still whining, and the snowflakes are still flying.
Under the cold and dim moonlight, in the simple and dilapidated yard, there was only blood and corpses on the ground, buried by snow.
After a long time, a bird's nest slowly popped up on the roof of the thatched shed at the back of the yard. Its triangular eyes were rounded, "I'm going to go to your grandma, I just want to come here for some food, what's the matter! Let me see such a big scene, I'll be scared to death." Me!"
Du Buguo crossed his arms and felt depressed.
It was freezing cold, the wind was blowing, and the snow was heavy. Is it easy for him to go out? I just wanted to give Tianbao some good things, but the good things didn't come my way. Instead, I saw someone doing the job of exterminating the family.
Sitting on the roof of the shed, Du Buguo jumped around for a moment between touching the corpse and not touching the corpse, then spat and flew away.
A dead person's belongings are unlucky, can you give him a sweet treasure?
No more!
Shortly after Du Buguo left, a fire broke out in the courtyard, the flames shot into the sky, and all traces in the courtyard were burned away overnight.
Daylight arrives.
A cave in the barren mountain behind Kaishi Village.
The little boy lying on the old coat woke up faintly and looked at the rugged roof of the cave above, his eyes dull.
His facial features are extremely delicate and beautiful. There is a tiny mole under his left eye. His face is still pale. The tear in his clothes on his abdomen is very shocking. However, if you look closely, you can see that the tear is not stained with blood.
The little boy didn't know what he thought of, and his emotions gradually arose. His eyes gradually became red, and tears fell from the corners of his eyes.
"Grandfather, grandmother...eldest uncle...second uncle..."
A man covered in blood sat next to him. He was silent for a moment when he heard the muttering, and then tremblingly said, "Little Master, they are all dead."
The little boy turned his head to look at him, his eyes full of blood.
"This is Wei Guogong's choice and plan. The queen will not let the Wei family go. She ordered that she arrive at the place of exile early in the morning and eradicate the roots." Zi Yi endured the pain in her body and leaned against the stone cave wall to tell the cruel truth word by word, " The Duke knew that he was going to die, so he took advantage of this to set up a trap, made dangerous moves with his troops, and fed the little master a drug of fake death to help him escape."
The tears in the little boy's eyes became more intense, and his face was expressionless. He struggled to get up and staggered out.
Ziyi grabbed him and pulled him down, revealing the soft gold armor the boy was wearing underneath.
"Little Master! Where are you going!"
The little boy turned around suddenly, his eyes were as red as crying blood, and he screamed in despair, "Zi Yi, my mother and concubine are dead, my grandfather is dead, my uncle and the others are all dead, all dead!"
"So you have to live!" Ziyi hugged the little boy, with red eyes, and whispered in his ear, "So you have to live! The empress and Wei Guogong saved you with the lives of so many people, not to let you die. Yes! Little Master, only by living can you have hope and revenge!"
"Do you remember the last words your Majesty said to you? Don't let your hard work go in vain!"
The little boy's body was shaking violently in the adult's arms.
He remembered that the last words his mother-in-law said to him before sending him away was to keep a low profile.
After a long time, the uncontrollable trembling gradually subsided. Looking up again, the boy's eyes were as dark as a bottomless abyss. At the bottom of the abyss, there was overwhelming hatred.
…
Another year of spring and flowers blooming.
There is a vibrant scene at the foot of Tubei Mountain.
The ice floes on the Qinghe River have melted and the water is gurgling.
The reeds are green again, young grass grows on both sides of the loess road, and unknown small wild flowers sway gently in the wind.
The reclaimed fields on both sides of the river are connected into a vast area, and the scale is extremely spectacular.
Old man Su and his sons sat on the ground, surrounded by a large group of Tubei villagers.
The settlement at the foot of Tubei Mountain that once had no name now has a name, Tubei Village.
The entire village is gathered at the foot of the mountain, with more than 260 households.
"Hey, we arrived here last spring. At that time, there were only a dozen or so households living sparsely at the foot of the mountain. Unexpectedly, a year later, there were already too many houses at the foot of the mountain to count."
Old man Su sat on the hoe handle, his old face facing the spring sun, and the corners of his eyes were thin and dense.
"Uncle, not only did you not expect it, we guys also didn't expect that we could actually find a place to protect ordinary people in this place of exile during our lifetimes."
"In short, it is our blessing!"
"That's right, when I lived in Matongpo, I was always in fear every day. I didn't know when those bullies would come and destroy my home again. I couldn't sleep peacefully at all."
"You guys are just destroying homes, but here we are robbing people! Those who are connected to the big forces, press us to be tenant farmers, and live in Hulugou. Every year, many people are tricked into it, and in the end they end up being owed money for no apparent reason. We had debts that we couldn't repay, and our wives and children were snatched away to pay off the debts... Well, before our family made up their mind to come to Tubeishan, I was still worried that this would be another wolf den, but luckily we came!"
"The past things are over. Now that we are here, we are at peace. Don't think about the past things... Mr. Huo went to the city in the morning and said he was going to bring back grain and seeds. Do you think it can be done?" Some people are restless. , let’s bring it up to business.
Everyone living in Tubei Village hastily plowed open fields before the spring solstice. Now that the fields are available, the biggest headache for everyone is grain seeds.
In terms of the direction of the wind, the entire Tubei Village looks to the Xiao Su family.
If anyone in the village is sure to be able to plant a field this year, it must be the Xiao Su family.
With the support of Master Duandao, Mr. Du, Mr. Huo and Mrs. Huo, it is not difficult for the Xiao Su family to get grain and seeds.
People in the village heard about this yesterday. Mr. Huo went to the city to get grain seeds today. He was so excited that he didn't sleep well all night.
Although the seeds were obtained for Xiao Su’s family, it didn’t have anything to do with them, but it didn’t stop them from being happy.
I followed Old Man Su and others to the field early in the morning, chatting and waiting.
Li Xiaoxiao rubbed his hands and hesitantly approached Old Man Su and Su Da Su Er, "Uncle, Su Da, Su Er, your family will definitely be able to grow food this year. Hey, you guys pushed me over to discuss it, wait. When the grain is harvested after autumn, uncle, can you leave some more for planting? Then I can take things or save money to exchange for some seeds with you, okay? We don’t dare to ask for more, even just a small handful! Okay! ?"
