Chapter 164: Cause

Four years of Qingli. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

For some reason, this year's winter is particularly cold, and this cold pierces the bone marrow and makes people numb with cold.

Although Yongzhou has the title of the state of fertile soil, it is full of displaced refugees after the war.

The war has not only destroyed countless families, but also dehumanized countless people.

After the war, food and winter clothing became the most scarce goods in the market, and due to the inflation caused by the war, many banknotes issued in the money houses were reduced to waste paper, and people did not believe anything but the real money in front of them.

Without food, they will starve to death; Without clothing, they will freeze to death.

But for most people, they had neither food nor clothing for the winter, and they were all dead, so they chose to riot.

Although the Sword Mansion of Tianzhi Village in Yongzhou is also receiving refugees, because the damage caused to Yongzhou by the Second Kyushu War is too serious, Tianzhi Village cannot accommodate too many refugees, so many people are all turned away from the walls of Tianzhi Village.

People know that the richest place in Yongzhou is Tianzhi Village, because the taxes and grain collected every year in other villages in Yongzhou will be concentrated in Tianzhi Village.

To say that these belongings were obtained by the efforts of various villages in Yongzhou, but at the moment, Tianzhi Village has no plans to share them.

In fact, the governor of Yongzhou also understands this truth, since he can climb to today's position, how can he not understand the reason?

The truth is that it is right to do that, but the truth is the truth, the reality is the reality, and he is not able to do that.

If Yongzhou's supplies are sufficient, would he not want all the refugees in Yongzhou to eat and wear cotton clothes?

There were so many refugees, but supplies were limited, so he had to make an appropriate choice.

Either give up some of the old, weak, sick and disabled, and leave the materials for those young and middle-aged, or take out the materials and enjoy them together, and then everyone will die together.

Or, waiting to be attacked by other big states and destroy the state.

Although the Second Kyushu War had just subsided, the whole of Kyushu was not so stable, and although several large states participated in the war, the war was not fought in the territory of the main state, so some large states took this opportunity to make a lot of war money.

As the governor of Yongzhou, he understands how big the burden is on his shoulders, although he also wants to be in the same boat and get through this disaster with the entire Yongzhou villagers, but the facts are facts after all, and he can't act with feelings.

The war destroyed most of Yongzhou, and now all kinds of plagues have broken out again, and the weather is particularly bad this year, so many people are on the verge of life and death.

The future is uncertain, so it is now necessary to quickly assemble a team capable of resisting external enemies and protecting the interior.

Or, what they need now is a force capable of invading the outlands and suppressing the interior.

So the governor of Yongzhou finally issued an order that chilled the hearts of countless people, and all kinds of old, weak, sick and disabled people were rejected from the defense line, and only young and middle-aged people could enter Tianzhi Village.

However, where there is oppression, there is resistance.

Outside the line of defense, a riot finally broke out.

Countless villagers flocked to it, all rushing towards the south gate of Tianzhi Village, they took advantage of the large number of people, and wanted to break through the defense line and enter Tianzhi Village.

In fact, most of the villagers are easily satisfied, as long as they are given food and cotton clothing, so that they can survive this harsh winter.

However, even the most basic survival requirements such as surviving, Yongzhou could not meet them, starving to death and freezing to death, and the riot still had a chance to live.

However, the rebellion was quickly suppressed, and many of those who led the rebellion were executed.

Because of the large number of people involved in the riot, Tiannomura could not kill all of them, so they had to make an example of the monkeys, kill some people, and save some people, so as to calm everyone's anger.

Most of the people rescued were children, for the simple reason that they didn't waste food and had little ability to resist.

These children were selected from all the children and were very strong, which was also to prepare for the cultivation of seedlings for the Sword Mansion in the future.

Most of the children who entered the Heavenly Village were living a decent life, at least no one wanted to escape from here anymore and live the kind of life where they faced death all day long.

But among these children, there is one child who has always been very special.

He refused to accept the food or the cotton clothes, but kept shouting to leave the Heavenly Village.

Many people asked why, and the boy did not speak, but other teenagers said why.

It turned out that the boy had a younger brother, and the boy was brought into the Heavenly Village because of his strong body, but his younger brother was very weak, so he was left outside the Heavenly Village.

The boy's purpose in clamoring to leave the village of heaven was to go outside to find his brother.

The swordsman in the village was very busy at that time, and how could he take care of this little guy, so the boy went out to find it by himself, but he strayed into the sword mansion and got into a big disaster.

As a result of the boy's treatment, the final decision of the Sword Mansion was the death penalty.

It was also on that day that a man came to the village of heaven, rescued the boy under the sword, and took the boy out of the village to find his younger brother.

Although when they saw their brother again, the two brothers had already been separated from each other, but the boy couldn't help but be grateful to the man.

At least because of his appearance, he can help his younger brother be buried, and he can protect his younger brother, so that he can no longer be so cold in this world full of snowflakes, and he can sleep peacefully.

In that snowy world, the boy looked at the man's distant figure and ran frantically to chase after him.

"Wait...... Wait......"

The boy shouted.

The man didn't stop, but waved his hand lightly.

A short sword landed in front of the boy.

"If you want to follow me, you have to die for me in the future, I will teach you the best swordsmanship, but you also have to sell your life for me."

The boy looked confused and picked up the dagger with both arms.

Since then, the boy has followed the man to wander the rivers and lakes, crisscrossing Kyushu.

Later, there was another boy and girl in the team, and their backgrounds were also very pitiful.

Qing Yu, who has always regarded the short sword as his life, saw the death of the man he was going to follow for the rest of his life, and cut off all his thoughts of survival in his heart.

Regardless of whether he can kill the other party alive to avenge him, Qing Yu has decided to leave this world.

Because in this world, there is no one worthy of his nostalgia anymore.
