Mangcang Mountain Range is located in the border between Yue and the Western Jin Dynasty, stretching for hundreds of miles in a radius full of barren mountains and wild mountains, and the mountain is steep, the terrain is biased, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the mountains are full of fierce beasts, except for some hunters who rely on hunting for a living live here all the year round, almost deserted, it is a natural barrier of the border of Yue country.

It is generally recognized in the world that the first dangerous place in the Endless Continent is the Heavenly Forsaken Mountain Range, followed by this Mangcang Mountain Range.

But at this time, this mountain range, which has been desolate for many years, is very lively.

Zhao Guoteng, a young soldier, wore heavy armor, surrounded the fire in the cave to warm up, and from time to time there was a scolding voice from his companions, Zhao Guoteng took a breath of cold, looked at the snow outside the cave, missed his hometown and relatives, and did not join them in the condemnation of the Western Jin Dynasty.

Zhao Guoteng was born in a barren mountain village in Yueguo, the ancestors of the family are relying on farming to make a living, to his generation, is the only seedling in the family, Zhao Laohan has always pampered his son, and regards him as the hope and future of the family.

The so-called Guoteng is to take off with the country, Zhao Laohan hopes that his son can have a career and walk out of this poor village with the unfinished ideals of his youth.

Zhao Guoteng is also very competitive, his family is poor and can't afford to read, so he ran outside the school to eavesdrop on some Confucian teachings, and he actually relied on his erudition to learn some knowledge, and he is much more talented than the students in the school.

Zhao Laohan watched his son grow up and be so promising, naturally he was also very relieved, and he was looking forward to his son reaching the age of marrying a wife, and he would soon be able to hold his grandson to live for a long time, but he did not expect that the Western Jin Kingdom raised troops to invade the border of the Yue Kingdom, and the army came down to arrest the strong men and captured the pillars of his family into the barracks.

Zhao Laohan couldn't cry when he cried, so he could only watch his son's figure fade away, and immediately fainted, thanks to the care of the neighbors, he didn't die on the spot.

The hopes and sustenance of his life are all in this son, and the hope and sustenance of the rest of his life is probably only waiting for his son to return to his hometown after the war is over.

This situation is repeated every day in many villages in the Yue Kingdom, and those rich sons in the city can naturally spend money to eliminate disasters, stuff some gold, silver and jewelry to the military camp to prevaricate, where can these poor peasant children get these silver taels and hand them over to the military camp?

There is nothing new in the world, and there is never fairness.

......

......

Zhao Guoteng looked at the snowy plain white world outside, thinking that his old father was worried about himself at home, whether the roof of the second aunt's house was leaking, and he didn't know who would repair it for her after he left, his father was old, and he didn't know if he could take care of the crops in the field, what should he do with the sowing after spring......

"Fuck the dog thief of the Western Jin Dynasty, is it uncomfortable to stay in your own country and guard your wife and children on the hot kang head, you have to find something to do in our country!"

"Now that the Chinese New Year is coming, the war has no intention of stopping, and it seems that the dream of going home for the New Year this year will not come true. ”

"Go home for the New Year, whether you can go back alive or not is another matter, don't think too much about Erzhuzi!"

"Alas......"

A deep sigh pulled Zhao Guoteng's thoughts back from Zhaojia Village to the Mangcang Mountain Range, he patted the dust on his armor, looked around and sighed: "When I was a child, I heard the gentleman in the village say that the great powers have no righteous war, and this time the Western Jin Kingdom has raised troops to invade, I am afraid that it is with the determination not to destroy the Yue Kingdom and not to look back." ”

"I've been lost in this bird place for three days, and I'm running out of dry food. Erzhuzi looked at Zhao Guoteng next to him dejectedly, and said: "Brother Teng, you have read, and you are the most knowledgeable here, tell me what we should do next." ”

Zhao Guoteng rubbed his hands, thought for a while and said: "Although the Mangcang Mountain Range is desolate, there has never been a shortage of wild beasts, and we now have fifteen people, all of whom have soldiers in their hands, and they can make a living by hunting. ”

"Yes, we can't sit still and wait for this snow to stop and go out!" A sturdy soldier got up and said: "Brother Teng'er has always recognized Lao Xiong when he speaks, Lao Tzu has long been tired of staying in this hole, only by going out, can we win a glimmer of life!"

"But......" a thin soldier raised his concerns, "but there are only fifteen of us, what if we go out and meet the big team of the Western Jin Dynasty, there will definitely be only one way to die with the outnumbered people!"

"There is still a glimmer of life when you go out, staying in this broken cave and not going out is really a dead end!" Zhao Guoteng said firmly: "Go north, as long as the direction is right, you will definitely be able to find our military camp in Yueguo!"

"Go north!"

Old Xiong laughed after speaking, but everyone present could hear the desolation behind the heroic laughter of this strong man.

They are all children from the lowest rural areas of the Yue Kingdom, because of this war, they were arrested and enlisted in the army, and they were used as death squads by those high-level generals to explore the terrain, but they were trapped in the cave by a heavy snowfall.

Only by moving forward, never looking back, can they win a glimmer of life.

Zhao Guoteng's eyes looked at the sky in the distance through the burning bonfire, hesitant and dazed, but more of a resolute determination to see death as home.

No matter what the situation is, you must have the courage to have that glimmer of vitality.

Father...... Waiting for the children to return home.

......

......

How many tragedies similar to Zhaojia Village have occurred in the land of Yue Country, Chen Linci does not know, Zhao Guoteng and others have encountered what desperate situation in the Mangcang Mountains is even more unknown, the Great Chu State has not had a war for hundreds of years, and the most painful experience Chen Linci has encountered is just the death of the drunkard old Taoist.

He just felt angry, the kind that he couldn't get angry again.

In the National Teacher's Mansion, looking at Yang Xiudao, who was no longer serious with a hippie smile, Chen still couldn't hold back his anger after all.

"You old guy, my little family pities you for being old and has no queen, worship you as a teacher, and you treat me like this?" He stepped on the steps with one foot, pointed to his face, and said angrily: "My little family went to Yue Country this time, in case you accidentally burp, your old guy will be killed!"

Smiling and watching Chen Linci learn to call himself "my old man" to call "my little family", Yang Xiudao Master Yang was not only not angry, but also felt very cordial, he looked at Chen Linci kindly, and said: "For the teacher to let you go to Yueguo, there is naturally a reason to be a teacher." ”

"Reason? Do you still have an old face to give me reason?" Hearing Master Yang Xiudao explain the reason to himself, Chen Linci was angry, so he had to move out of the original words of the drunkard old Taoist, "Living is the greatest truth!"

"I'm so afraid of death, your villain doesn't have the demeanor of my old man at all. Master Yang Xiudao looked at Chen Linci and asked rhetorically: "And you have a star soul protection like swallowing the sea and the sky, and you are still afraid of dying in the Yue Kingdom?"

"If the jade is not cut, the Mangcang Mountain Range is a terrible place, and sooner or later you will know the good intentions of my old man. ”
