Chapter 1: Encountering the East after the catastrophe
Blood, eyes full of blood, surrounded by relatives and neighbors, at this moment, they have all quietly "slept", under the light of the remnant sun, the picture looks extremely hideous. There was obviously not the slightest sound, but Qin Tian's ears echoed with all kinds of roars and wails.
The village of more than 1,000 people was still peaceful in the morning, but at this moment, only Qin Tian was left. In the 110th year of the Tianli calendar, the border of the Great Yan Dynasty, Laotian Village, was slaughtered.
In the Nine Heavens Continent, such tragedies were not uncommon. The mountains and rivers on the mainland are vertical and horizontal, and it is naturally divided into nine territories, called Kyushu, and the nine dynasties are divided into Kyushu. All of them are ambitious, the great powers are vying for hegemony, the heroes are competing for the deer, the wolf smoke is everywhere on the mainland, the beacon fire is continuous, and the people are not able to make a living. It is not uncommon to slaughter the people, plunder money and food, and make war exploits, and it is difficult to distinguish between soldiers and bandits.
Qin Tian, this nine-year-old boy, this scene in front of him may be staged on the mainland at any time. Just because he secretly drank his father's soju today, he couldn't wake up, and fell asleep next to the pyre, and when he woke up, there were already two corpses crushed on his body, and the blood stained his clothes and eyes. I wanted to break free, but my limbs didn't listen to the command, and I wanted to shout, but I couldn't make a sound. In this way, he watched the familiar figures fall one by one; In this way, he survived.
The strength of the wine was gone, Qin Tian got up with difficulty, all this seemed to be just a dream, he hoped that it was just an illusion after being drunk. But no matter how unwilling he is to accept it, reality is still reality, no matter how cruel, it is there.
He wept aloud and scolded the heavens, and would not manifest himself; Asked the earth, but there was no response. Blood and tears were mixed together, wetting the clothes, and it was impossible to tell whether it was blood or tears.
I cried enough, buried my relatives, the night was deep, the moon was like a hook, hanging on my heart, and arousing blood and hatred. Live, no matter what, live. Only by living can we get revenge; Only by living can we protect; Only by living can we find the light.
Wiping away his tears and looking for the starlight, an emaciated figure disappeared into the vast night. No matter how many changes in the world have passed, the sun will still rise on time, under the city of Le'an, a lonely thin figure, curled up in a corner by the city wall, until the sun shines on his body, he slowly opened his eyes, those eyes, full of bloodshots, but extremely bright. I tried to open and close again, repeating it several times, as if every time I opened my eyes, I expected to see something, but I didn't see anything. In the end, he shook his head helplessly, stood up with difficulty, and walked towards the city gate. Such a scene has been going on for more than a month, to live, no matter what, to live, even if it is to beg like now, to live, only by living, there will be hope, this is his only belief now.
"Poof" in the crowd entering the city, suddenly a person's money bag fell to the ground, just at Qin Tian's feet. He hesitated, but picked up the money bag, and hurried forward, calling out, the owner of the money bag. It was a middle-aged man, about 1.78 meters tall, with a face like a crown of jade, a nose like a gall, graceful, fresh and handsome, quite inconsistent with this chaotic era, as if he had long been out of the world. "Thank you." The owner of the money bag politely thanked Qin Tian, and did not slack off because Qin Tian was a beggar, and his voice was as clear and melodious as his appearance. He opened the money bag again, took out a gold coin from it, and handed it to Qin Tian to show his gratitude. One gold coin is equal to one hundred silver coins, and it is also equal to ten thousand copper coins, for Qin Tian, this is indeed a huge wealth, and now Qin Tian is also penniless, begging for a living, and needs money very much. But he didn't hesitate too much and refused, picking up the money bag was what he should do, not for payment.
"Not being confused by interests is commendable. My surname is Dongfang, you can call me Mr. Dongfang. Why don't you go to a place like this, I need to go to a place, and I don't know the way, so please help me lead the way, and this gold will be your reward, how about it? The middle-aged man said gently. I don't know where you're going, and I don't necessarily know the way. Qin Tian really wanted to make this money, but he still answered truthfully. Laotian Village. Mr. Dongfang said three words softly. γγγ "Qin Tian unconsciously gasped, and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with shock, why is it Lao Tiancun? Is this a coincidence? Or is there something else going on? But no matter how shocked Qin Tian was, Mr. Dongfang still looked at him calmly, waiting for his reply, and he couldn't see a trace of abnormality.
"Okay, I know the way, I can take you there. Howeverγγγ there is no one left in Laotian Village. Qin Tian seemed to have made a huge determination and agreed. This gold coin was very important to him if he wanted to live, and he also wanted to know what this stranger with extraordinary appearance was going to do in Lao Tian Village.
Mr. Dongfang nodded, as if he didn't pay attention to whether there was anyone in Laotian Village, and then he took Qin Tian to the city to hire a carriage and headed in the direction of Laotian Village. Originally, Qin Tian naturally followed the carriage, but Mr. Dongfang invited him to sit in the carriage together, and he did not dislike him in the slightest because of his dirty appearance. Don't divide people by being noble and low, don't avoid being far away because they don't have clothes, detach themselves from the ordinary, and treat all beings equally, this is Qin Tian's impression of Mr. Dongfang at this moment. The character of the gentleman can be seen, and he must be a model for his worship.
The speed of the carriage was still very fast, about noon, they were almost to Laotian Village, there were still two or three miles to go, Mr. Dongfang said that he had been sitting for a long time and wanted to go, so he paid for the carriage and asked the coachman to drive the carriage back, and he and Qin Tian walked slowly towards Laotian Village. After more than a month, I came back again, the place that was once full of laughter and laughter has long been a matter of people, I don't know if they are in heaven, are they okay? Qin Tian's mood was indescribably complicated, his footsteps became extremely heavy, his hometown was even more timid, his steps were especially staggering, and the building was empty, leaving only the grass and trees deep.
Lao Tian Village is already in sight, as if the children are still playing in the streets, the adults are still working hard, the scenes of the past are still vivid, but when I retract my thoughts, I only see a lot of white bones, and there seems to be something wandering in the distance. γγγA long howl came, and Qin Tian only felt that his scalp was numb, and he immediately found that it was not good. It turned out to be a pack of wolves wandering in the distance, and in an instant, they had already surrounded them, the hungry wolves had already eaten up the corpses left in the village, and a pair of fierce eyes stared at Qin Tian and the two of them, full of greed and desire, and let out a whining roar from their mouths, revealing their saliva fangs.
