"Daddy!"

"Child, you must live well."

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old child was clutching the hand of a middle-aged man with a pale face, crying silently. The man was lying on a messy pile of weeds, and this room was a place for storing grain and grass, because of the perennial war, this granary for logistical supplies had been abandoned for a long time.

"Changsheng won't let Daddy die..."The child choked up and cried, today is a rainy day, the house is cold, the man's hands are cold and terrible, Changsheng has wrapped him in I don't know how much hay, but there is still a feeling of dampness.

Suddenly, there was a cry, and a few black birds flew in, standing on the windowsill and chirping a few times. Before Gu Changsheng could drive them away, they quieted down, just staring in the direction of the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man is dying.

"Changsheng, you were only three years old back then, and Beiyan and I were in the first time of the Great Wei, but Beiyan still kept making small moves, and in the turmoil again, your mother took the first step, and I was also a dark disease that fell at that time, I am afraid that I will not be able to survive this time." Saying that, Gu Anguo coughed twice, and his face became even paler.

Gu Anguo raised his hand with difficulty and touched his son, he knew that this time he would be left alone in this suffering world, and the small actions of ten years ago could only be small actions, and in the past half a month, Beiyan's provocation has become more and more blatant, and he can't help but worry in his heart.

"Eternal life, after I die." Gu Anguo looked at the crow on the windowsill and told Gu Changsheng.

"Dad, you're not going to die! I'm going to get you something to eat now, boy. Gu Changsheng wiped a handful of snot in panic, and before he could get up, he was pulled by his father, Gu Changsheng only felt that the weak hand in the past actually caught himself a little painfully this time.

Gu Changsheng couldn't help but flash that sentence in his heart, and he returned to the light.

"Changsheng, you listen to your father, after I die, burn my body and bury it next to your mother's grave, can you hear clearly?!" Gu Anguo knew that his fate was not long in coming, and his tone became more and more hurried and stern.

"The child understands, but daddy..." Before he finished speaking, Gu Changsheng was interrupted by Gu Anguo, who knew what he wanted to say.

Everyone in the world says that when you are buried, the corpse is burned to black ashes, how can you be safe. It's just that Gu Anguo didn't have time to explain, because he didn't expect that this spring rain would directly crush him, and what he had learned had not been completely handed over to his son.

"Changsheng, remember, after everything is arranged here, you must go south, wherever you go, be a teacher with peace of mind, and live a peaceful and happy life." Gu Anguo's voice became smaller and smaller.

Before Gu Changsheng could stabilize his mind, he was on the verge of collapse again.

"Changsheng, remember, go south!" Gu Anguo used his last bit of strength to go.

Gu Changsheng lay on his father's corpse and wept bitterly, the crows on the windowsill here were still restless, the food in their eyes couldn't move, just wait for Gu Changsheng to walk away, they could eat a delicious meal.

Although Gu Changsheng is only fifteen or sixteen years old, he does all the heavy work on weekdays, and he looks sturdy, and Gu Anguo is a teacher in the village, although he is living a poor life, he is not hungry.

It's just that a few days ago, somehow, a team of dozens of horse thieves entered the village, and Gu Changsheng fled frantically with his father on his back, only then did he know that many of the villages on the border had already been empty, and he found a granary to live in a hurry, but he didn't expect his father to survive after all.

I don't know how long it took, the escape in the past few days made Gu Changsheng tired, and he actually fell asleep deeply, and when he woke up, those crows had already landed not far away.

Gu Changsheng picked up the wooden stick next to him and drove it away, and the crows flew back to the windowsill.

Gu Changsheng endured his grief and shouted, "You miscellaneous birds, get out of here!" ”

At night, the spring rain has become much lighter, leaving only the sound of water droplets falling on the ground.

"Daddy..."Gu Changsheng had already followed his father's instructions, but the fire fold in his hand did not fall for a while, Gu Changsheng looked at his father's face for a long time, and finally lit the weeds. Sorrow came from it, but there were no more tears.

"Go all the way." Gu Changsheng's eyes were red, the fire burned for half the night, Gu Changsheng took the clay pot he found in the corner of the wall to hold wine, and put the ashes and ashes into the clay pot with one hand.

Busy until the sky was slightly bright, Gu Changsheng kowtowed three times, sealed the ashes and held them in his arms. He wanted to find something to eat, he hadn't eaten for two days and two nights, and after some changes, if it weren't for his father being a teacher, students would be filial piety and meat on weekdays, and most of them were in their stomachs, Gu Changsheng was afraid that he would have to go to half his life at this moment.

Gu Changsheng searched for a long time, and finally found some rice husks, also called Mi Ying, which were already covered with dust, Changsheng carefully put down his father's ashes, and then rubbed them with both hands and stuffed them into his mouth to chew.

Mi Ying was a little sharp, and her mouth hurt from scratching, but Gu Changsheng didn't care.

Finally feeling full in his stomach, Gu Changsheng tore off a few strips of linen, grabbed Mi Ying, tied them and put them in his arms. Gu Changsheng walked on the streets of the village, he only felt that this village was much worse than the village where he used to live, a main road was still full of potholes, and wooden sheds and stalls were everywhere.

Gu Changsheng shook his head, recognized the direction, and before he could lift his feet, Gu Changsheng's heart tightened, and he casually saw a room and drilled into it.

Tread, step, step

"Boss."

"Search!"

"Yes!"

Gu Changsheng hugged the ash altar tightly, staring at the outside through the crack in the door, he couldn't figure out how these horse thieves could stare at him as a flat-headed commoner.

The horse thieves were separated left and right, but the leader approached the hut where Gu Changsheng was hiding step by step.

Gu Changsheng looked left and right, and found that there was nothing around, so he suddenly glanced down and made up his mind.

The leader of the horse thieves lowered his eyelids and whispered.

"Come out, your great footprints have betrayed you." The horse thief's hand was already on the knife.

One-step.

Gu Changsheng held his father's urn on his side, his hands trembled violently, but his eyes were never as ruthless as ever.

Two steps.

The horse thief is getting closer and closer, and the prince of the Great Wei was ordered to come here secretly, in order to take charge of the army in the north of the Great Wei, but because of the turmoil in the court at the moment, he came quietly, but the rumor was still heard, which is also the purpose of the horse thief's coming this time.

According to intelligence, although this prince has an extraordinary strategy in governing the army, no one knows what his force is, and he doesn't want to kill anyone, but he folds in first. Therefore, the leader of the horse thieves first tried it, and when his own people came over, he naturally attacked it in groups, and it was foolproof.

Gu Changsheng didn't know why the horse thief stopped, but his heart was beating wildly, rushing to his throat.

Just when he was sweating profusely, he didn't know that a dark shadow was standing behind him.

"If you don't come out, I'll rush in!" The leader of the horse thieves had a change of heart, and with his own force, there should be no problem in dragging it out for half an hour.

As soon as he finished speaking, the horse thief used his hands and feet together, and as soon as the door was kicked open, the blade in his hand was already slashed off his head.

No one!

The horse thief vigilantly opened the wooden door with a large knife, and when he looked inside, there was no one in sight.
