In the middle of the night, a crescent moon crept into the clouds, and the stars hung sparsely in the sky, but through the faint starlight, it was still evident that at the foot of the mountain, there was a river meandering by, and along the top of the river, rows of houses of different sizes were scattered.

There was not a single light in the whole village, and it was as if even the village had fallen asleep, but it seemed a little more peaceful and peaceful than in the daytime.

At this time, an old-fashioned bamboo building in the middle of the village suddenly moved, and with a "squeak", the door opened, and a small head poked out from behind the door, looked at the sky, looked around, and then said softly: "Sister, there is no one, and there is no moon." ”

"Jin Yang, do you hate the eldest sister?" Another girl's voice rang out in the room.

"Don't hate, it's better to die clean, anyway, if we don't die, my brother will be beaten to death by my father if he dies, and he will die left and right, and he will die early and be reincarnated early." The girl named Jin Yang said angrily, after speaking, she paused, and asked weakly, "Eldest sister, do you say that people really have a next life?" ”

There was only a sigh in response.

"Second sister, I'm also afraid of my father's beating, and I don't want to live anymore." Another, more childish voice rang out.

"Okay, let's go, I'll carry the golden calf on my back."

After a moment of staggering, a short, thin figure stepped out first, followed by a slightly taller figure staggering out with a child on its back, and a smaller figure at the back.

"Jin Yang, you hold Jin Liu." The figure carrying the child on his back shouted to the girl in front.

The girl named Jin Yang stopped, holding the girl behind her with one hand and the hand of the child on her back with the other.

"Big sister, Taurus is still so hot." Jin Yang asked.

"It's okay if it's hot or not, it's all dead anyway, it's good to be dead." There was helplessness in the eldest sister's voice that did not belong to this age.

"Well, it's good to be dead." Jin Yang followed and stopped talking.

A few small figures left the village and walked straight to the river at the east end of the village.

Unbeknownst to them, shortly after they left, a black dog came out of the house, and the black dog followed them.

At this time, the beauty of another bamboo building at the east end of the village leaned on, and there was a young man of fifteen or sixteen with a harmonica in his hand, lying on a chaise longue looking at the stars above his head in a daze.

The young man's name is Li Xiang, he is fifteen years old this year, and at this moment, the young man's face also has a melancholy that does not match his age.

It turned out that this Li Xiang had just finished the high school entrance examination, and with his usual grades, he could go to the best high school in the county, but the problem was that the high school was in the county seat, and he had to stay, and he didn't want to leave his only grandmother, and there was another point, this high school was not compulsory education, and this tuition fee was also a heavy burden for his grandparents.

As a result, Li Xiang encountered the first big problem in his life, whether to continue his studies or learn from others to go out to work to support his family?

Thinking about it, Li Xiang couldn't sleep, but he couldn't find anyone to talk about these things, so he could only look at the sky above him in a daze.

Suddenly, there was a sharp barking of a dog in the distance, Li Xiang turned over and sat up, as if thinking for a while, and then got up and walked to the railing, looking in the direction of the dog's barking.

Looking at it, Li Xiang suddenly strode downstairs and ran out of the house, shouting as he ran, "Someone jumped into the river, someone jumped into the river." ”

Eager shouts cut through the silence of the night, some turned on the lights, some rolled over and muttered "crazy" and went to sleep, and some put on their clothes and came out to watch the movement.

Li Xiang ran all the way to the river below the mountain, a fierce man plunged into it, first swam to the nearest one who was fluttering his head, and soon brought the girl to the shore, at this time, someone had already rushed to the shore, the boy handed the girl over to the comer, and soon returned to the river and rescued another fluttering figure.

"Big sister, big sister." Jin Yang shouted in a daze.

"Come down, everyone, there's one more person." Li Xiang shouted.

"And the eldest sister and the younger brother." Eight-year-old Jin Liu was frightened and cried with a trembling body.

"It's the four children of the Dashan family, as well as Jinzhu and Jinniu?" Someone recognized Jin Liu and knew that there were two more missing.

"Over there, there's someone over there." Someone pointed to a dark shadow not far away.

Li Xiang had already seen it, and swam over, it turned out to be a dog, the dog's mouth was biting the clothes of a four or five-year-old boy, the boy did not sink, Li Xiang saw it and quickly dragged the person and the dog to the shore, and when the people on the shore took the person and the dog, Li Xiang plunged into the water again to find the girl named Jinzhu.

Similarly, it was also a summer night, the dark clouds covered the moon, and the noisy palace was full of joy, and today was the day of King Kang's great joy.

King Kang is the third son of the emperor, and the third brother of the current saint, King Kang because of the filial piety for the emperor for three years, delayed the family affairs, therefore, the emperor in order to make up for him, specially designated a good family affair for him, the woman is the daughter of the famous founding general Jin Ruiyu of this dynasty.

Since this marriage was personally designated by the emperor, and the emperor personally deigned to come to the palace to congratulate him, what does this mean for the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, who does not know?

Therefore, the guests who ushered in the congregation were endless, and it was not until late at night that the palace gradually quieted down, and King Kang, who had drunk three rounds, pushed away the support of the personal servant, and staggered towards the new house, just when his hand was about to push open the door of the new house, there was a sudden movement in the courtyard, and one by one the black-clothed guards came out of nowhere and held down King Kang.

"King Bold Kang, the Holy One treats you well, you dare to deliberately win over us and others to rebel, the emperor has an order, and everyone will be punished for those who are rebellious."

As soon as the other party's words fell, a sword stabbed King Kang's body, and King Kang slowly fell to the ground, holding the end of the sword, his eyes widened, as if he didn't believe everything in front of him.

At this time, the bride sitting in the house heard the unusual movement outside, and she didn't care about her identity, so she lifted her hijab and ran out to see what was going on.

"Daddy, daddy, big brother, this, this, what's going on?" The bride stared at the man in black in front of her with wide eyes.

"Lord Wang, Lord Wang, what's wrong with you?" The bride didn't wait for her father's and brother's answer, and hurriedly squatted beside King Kang, wanting to check King Kang's injuries.

"Okay, a good plan, this king never thought that this king would, would, would fall into such a fate, I knew that this was the case, this king fought hard back then, so the country is not sure who it is."

"King Bold Kang, you still haven't woken up when you are dying, and you still say these rebellious words?"

"Lord Wang, you, you, don't speak, I, I'll stop the bleeding for you." The bride trembled and pulled a silk handkerchief from her body, and eagerly pressed King Kang's chest, trying to pull out the sword for him, but King Kang pushed his hand away.

"Zhu'er, it's useless, you go back with your father." Another man in his forties shook his head and looked at the two men on the ground with a sad expression.

"No, I'm not going back, Daddy, Daddy, tell me, what the hell is going on?" The bride burst into tears, and she couldn't figure out how her father and brother could kill her husband on their wedding night.

"Child, dad can't help himself. You, don't blame Daddy, let's go, go home with Daddy. ”

"Home? Do I still have a home? A traitor's wife, do I still have a home? Family? "The bride is not a childish child who does not know the world, and she quickly understands what is going on.

"Sister, you, how can you say that? You're a meritorious man, yes, sister......" A man in his twenties shouted bitterly, squatting down and picking up the bride.

It turned out that the bride took advantage of everyone's unpreparedness to pull out a dagger from her body that she had been defending herself since childhood, and also inserted it into her chest.

"Lord Wang, the only thing the concubine can do for you now is to accompany you on the Huangquan Road, and when you arrive at the Yin Si Difu, the concubine will atone for her father and brother." The bride looked at King Kang on the ground with tears in her eyes and said.

"Sister, sister, why are you so stupid?"

"Daddy, eldest brother, if there is an afterlife, I would rather be born in a poor country house, without calculation, without conspiracy, the real father and son are filial piety, brothers and brothers." After the bride said this sentence intermittently, she glanced at the groom dressed in red next to her, and slowly closed her eyes.
