In a gloomy room, on a wooden bed by the window, there was a woman with sunken cheeks, dull eyes, and a very bad complexion.

"Mother, are you better, do you want to drink water?" asked the young man as he walked to the bed, holding the woman's bony hand.

"Mother doesn't drink water!" The woman on the bed squeezed out a smile on her face, but it looked terrifying, "Mother just had a dream, I dreamed that you married Xiaoqing, and gave birth to a big fat boy, which woke me up laughing happily......!

"Mother, I won't marry Xiaoqing!" the young man interrupted the woman impatiently, "I'm going to the city to make money to treat you, and I'll marry my daughter-in-law when your illness is cured!"

"You stupid child, why are you so stubborn!" The woman's emaciated face showed a trace of abnormal flushing, and she took a few breaths before saying, "Son, my mother's disease can't be cured, it's tuberculosis, no matter how much money you spend, it can't be cured, my mother has no other wishes now, I just want to see you marry a daughter-in-law and have children, cough cough ......"

"Mother, don't talk!" The young man stuffed the woman's hand into the quilt and turned out of the room, walked until he walked outside the door, turned his head to look at the dilapidated thatched house, and coughed a few times while clutching his chest.

"Brother Wuji!" A twelve or thirteen-year-old girl in cloth ran over with a medicine bag and handed the medicine bag to the young man, her cheeks were flushed, and there was a faint sweat on her forehead, "Brother Wuji, this is the medicine that my father brought back from the town, you can boil it for Auntie to drink!"

The young man hesitated for a moment and took the medicine, and said with a somewhat ugly face: "Xiaoqing, I don't have any money for you for the time being!"

"Then don't give it yet, hehe, it's my father's money anyway!" said the girl with a grin as she stuck out her tongue.

"I'll pay it back to you then!" The young man took the medicine and was about to enter the house, but after thinking for a while, he said, "Xiaoqing, I want to trouble you with something, okay?"

"Okay, okay, what does Brother Wuji want me to do?" the girl suddenly became happy.

"I ...... I'm going to the city, I want you to take care of my mother!" the boy said with a little embarrassment.

The girl looked at the young man in surprise, her face changed from excitement to surprise and puzzlement, "Brother Wuji, you ...... You're leaving, when will you be able to come back?"

"Maybe it's winter!" the boy looked out of the mountains, put the medicine bag in his hand on the girl's hand, and walked away without looking back.

"Brother Wuji, you must come back, I'll wait for you!I'll take care of Auntie too!" The girl watched the young man's back slowly disappear into the end of the path on her tiptoes, shouting in her mouth, a trace of clear light in her eyes spread, and slowly turned into two lines of tears and fell down.

……

"Little beggar, get out of the way, this is not the place for you!" Outside a restaurant, the guy standing at the door drove away an unkempt black-clothed teenager.

"Uncle, I'm not asking for food, I just want to find a job to do!" the young man stood stubbornly at the door of the restaurant.

"Go, go, you don't have a shortage of buddies!" A middle-aged man in a gorgeous robe walked out of the restaurant.

"The shopkeeper said, you don't need a man, don't get out of here!" the man kicked the young man in black into the middle of the road, almost knocking over a stall on the side of the road.

At this moment, several tall horses came through the street, and soon stopped at the door of the hotel, on horseback, several big men in strong suits surrounded a woman with a black veil and jumped down, one of the big men looked at the young man in black who was getting up from the ground, and casually threw him a few big coins and said, "Help us tie these horses to the horse stake!"

After finishing speaking, a group of people walked into the restaurant, and one of them shouted: "Shopkeeper, hurry up and bring up the good wine and food, we have to hurry up!"

The young man in black looked at the few big coins on the ground, his eyes lit up, he quickly picked up the money, and then pulled a few horses to the horse stake next to the restaurant, and finished squatting in the corner and counted a few big coins, a full eight, that is, eighty yuan, golden and bright, and suddenly let him forget about the hungry and beaten in the city a few days ago.

Since then, the black-clothed boy squatted at the door of the hotel every day, every time he saw someone riding a horse to the hotel, he warmly greeted him to help tie the horse to park, and more or less he would get some rewards, as little as one or two pennies, and as much as thirty or fifty wen, and the shopkeeper and the guy of the restaurant were too lazy to care, so they simply called the boy as a guy who did not pay his salary, and arranged for him to do this and that from time to time, and the boy did not refuse.

……

The boy walked alone in the wilderness with an iron sword on his back, his eyes blank and aimless.

A disabled father, a seriously ill old lady in bed, since childhood, has been a poor family with four walls.

The boy doesn't want to die in this small mountain village like his father and mother for the rest of his life, so he is full of coldness and even disgust for everything in the mountain village, Xiaoqing likes him very much, and he doesn't hate Xiaoqing, but if he marries Xiaoqing, then he has to take care of her for the rest of his life, this is a responsibility, then he will be trapped in the mountain village for the rest of his life, like all the people in the village.

In order not to bear this responsibility, then you can only leave.

Away from the small mountain villages, go to the farthest places and pursue your own freedom and ideals.

"Brother Wuji, will I marry you when I grow up?" I can cook and wash clothes for you, and I can also give you a baby......" A three-year-old girl, wearing a cloth skirt, has a pair of bright big eyes.

"Xiaoqing, I'm sorry, if there is an afterlife, my brother will definitely marry you and take care of you!" The young man had a trace of guilt in his eyes, but there was a hint of seriousness and loneliness on his face, he took a deep breath and strode along a potholed road to a farther place.

……

"Bang Bang Bang ~ "

In the moonlit and starry night, suddenly a rapid sound of horses' hooves came from a distance, accompanied by the whistling of bows and arrows and the screams of people, mixed with the crash of several heavy objects falling to the ground.

Soon, two fast horses galloped from the wilderness, and in the night only the rough breath of the horses and the splashing of dirt and gravel could be heard.

"Woo Woo Woo ~ "

A few sharp arrows burst through the air, rippling through the night, a fast horse neighed and fell, kicking up a sky of sand and grass debris, the horse man flew out and fell into the thick grass, while the other horse galloped away without stopping, and after a few breaths, several more horses roared, all of them were masked men in black clothes, armed with crossbows.

A black-clad masked man jumped off his armistice horse, and the rest continued in pursuit.

The man in black soon spotted the man lying in the grass, reached out and drew the long knife behind his back, carefully clearing the weeds, revealing a man in a strong suit, with an arrow stuck in his chest, and blood gushing out of his mouth and nose.

"Is it him?" The black-clothed young man was hiding in the big tree above the grass at this time, and by the bright moonlight, he was only two meters away from the ground at this time, and he could almost touch the head of the black-clothed masked man with his hand, and he saw a face in his frightened eyes that he remembered deeply.

It was this big man who threw him a few big coins at the door of the restaurant and asked him to help tie up the horse, and it was those coins that allowed the boy to survive the most difficult time without starving to death.

Watch as the black-clothed masked man raised the long knife in his hand.

"I can't just watch my lifesaver die...... In the story, it is said that the grace of saving lives will be reciprocated!"

The young man trembled nervously and picked up the iron sword, and jumped down the moment the masked man's long knife slashed down, and the iron sword in his hand slammed into the masked man's shoulder.

Although the blow was not fatal, the masked man screamed and was knocked to the ground under the violent impact, and the boy rolled over and got up, and stabbed the masked man in the heart again.

"Uncle, how are you?" the young man's face turned pale, and he forced a tremor to help the big man sit up from the grass.

Blood was gushing from the big man's mouth and nose, and he opened his eyes with great effort to look at the young man covered in blood in front of him, and used all his strength to take out a fist-sized animal skin bag full of mysterious patterns from his arms, "Little ...... Little brother, this thing is very heavy...... Important, help me deliver ...... Send it to Qin...... Qin ......"

Before the big man finished speaking, his body was soft and there was no breath, no matter how the young man shook and never woke up, and at this time, the sound of horses' hooves was heard again in the distance, and the young man did not dare to stay longer, picked up the animal skin bag and quickly got into the thorn bushes, and soon disappeared into the vast night.
