With the tide of the black cavalry, the eldest brother finally returned home.

As he crossed the threshold, he felt a complicated sadness.

In order to re-enter this threshold, he had to pay so much.

Now, the corpses everywhere in the town are the price he has to pay.

He felt the torment of his conscience, after all, some of these corpses were people who had watched him grow up, some who had been nice to him, some of whom he had admired, and some of whom he had sworn to repay his kindness.

He couldn't help but feel a little resentful even towards his father. If it weren't for the fact that his father was so ruthless and unrighteous to him, and refused to see him on his deathbed, and refused to forgive him when he was dying, how could he have been forced to make such a decision, and was forced to make such a desperate gamble and create such a bad karma.

He looked at his father's coffin and the layers of white sacrificial banners in the lobby, and asked in his heart, "Father, do you really love me?" Did you really love my mother again? If you don't love her at all, why did you give birth to me again? If you don't need a concubine at all, why did you give birth to me?! ”

Tears filled his eyes.

"Fathers, fathers! Are you my fathers or fathers? Or will it always be just the ancestors of the devil! ”

The flames that rose into the sky reflected his eyes red. Now, he looked like the whites of his eyes had turned blood-red.

He turned in the direction of the flames. He saw my little building. He walked involuntarily in that direction.

(b)

My eldest brother was standing in front of the small building where I lived.

Its doors and windows were locked, and it was in flames, unable to get close.

He stood there for a while, imagining what I was like inside, and I couldn't help but think of me in my infancy, the scene of him playing with leaves and riding a bamboo horse in the yard with his back when I was a child, the scene of us swinging together and setting off fireworks, the scene of him going to the village with my father for the first time, giving me the first pair of head jewelry, and quietly bringing it to me.

In this life, he has walked to this small building countless times since he was a child. He really wants to be nice to me, wants to make me happy, and wants to spend this life with me! But he just couldn't. He has to do so many despicable things, and only when he does such a thing will he have the slightest chance of getting me. He obviously got me, but why did he have to burn me in the end? He didn't understand why things were the way they were.

For a moment, he thought that such a flower and moon would be burned to a hideous and scorched face, and he felt that he had done too cruelly.

But then, his heart hardened again: "She killed my son!" She wanted to kill me too! She ruined all my hopes! She is a vicious woman, and she deserves such punishment! ”

At this moment, his legs were suddenly hugged.

He was held by a young servant woman with a disheveled head, and when she saw her eldest brother enter through the door, and that all the enemy troops would not harm him, she had a glimmer of hope. She called out to her eldest brother for help: "Big son! I'm Cui Ping in my aunt's room, please save me, help! ”

Before the eldest brother could reply, several Begi soldiers rushed up, grabbed her by the hair, and forcibly dragged her away from the eldest brother's feet despite her desperate howls.

Her long cry made the muscles on her temples jump.

At this moment, he heard the sound of flames burning behind him, and when he turned his head to look, he saw that the soldiers of the Beji people had already set fire to the curtain on his father's funeral hall, and his father's coffin was in flames and black smoke.

The eldest brother suddenly became frightened.

He ran to the yard where his mother lived.

At the gate of the courtyard, he saw his mother, almost naked, crawling out of the door with difficulty, followed by several Begi soldiers, who kicked her in the buttocks with the spikes of their riding boots and laughed obscenely.

The aunt looked up and saw her son, and was stunned. Immediately, she screamed in despair, covering her face with the remaining rags on her sleeve. Then she got up like crazy and rushed towards the well in the courtyard.

The eldest brother screamed: "Don't! He threw himself at his mother as fast as he could.

He grabbed one of the corners of his mother's skirt, and the cloth on the skirt ripped and broke with a thud. Gripping the torn piece of cloth in his hand, he watched as his mother ran past him and plunged headlong into the well.

He heard a thud.

He let out a heart-rending wail and threw himself at the mouth of the well.

He saw a blood-red ripple in the water of the well.

He lay at the mouth of the well and cried hysterically: "Mom! Mother! Mother! ”

(iv)

At this time, he saw Hesse coming out of the backyard door. Hesse held a shawl of white fox fur in his hand. It was the one that my eldest brother gave me on my aunt's birthday.

The eldest brother turned back from the mouth of the well, gritted his teeth and said to Hesse, "You promised me!" You promised you wouldn't touch this house! You promised not to move my family! Why don't you talk about faith?! ”

Hesse looked at Jingyun and slowly opened his mouth. He burst out laughing.

Hesse looked at him with a sneering look on his face, and he said to the other soldiers: "Do you see where the old woman is written on her body that it is his family?" ”

The soldiers let out a wild laugh.

He said to Jing Yun in blunt Chinese: "You tell me about faith? Who are you, a man who has betrayed your own people, to speak to us of faith? ”

He said, "How do I know who your family is with this yard full of people?" I didn't move your home, I just moved the valuable things inside. If you can't move away, I'll set fire to it for you, so that you don't feel comfortable facing an empty house. ”

Jing Yun's face turned red. He pointed to Hesse and said, "You Begi are not human beings!" You will have retribution! ”

Hesse looked at him contemptuously and said, "These people are all dead because of you." These things happen because of you. If there is retribution, it will certainly not be me who will be the first to be rewarded. ”

He said: "We, the Beji, have never looked down on those who betrayed our people. You can betray and kill even your own family, and who can believe that you will not betray and betray us again in the future? ”

"In our eyes, you're a dog," he said. ”

The eldest brother's blood rushed to the top of his head at once, and he didn't know where the strength came from, he rushed over, snatched a knife from the hand of a Begi soldier, and stabbed it at Hesse.

He paused a step away from Hesse.

He looked down at his chest.

Hesse's saber pierced through his chest, the tip of his knife sticking out of his back.

Blood gushed from the corners of Jingyun's mouth, and he was poked there by Hesse while holding a knife.

Hesse said contemptuously: "That's how we Begi treat traitors!" ”

In Hesse's contemptuous words, Jingyun's body fell to the ground.

He lay there on his back, round eyes that were dead.

In this way, he ended his short life.

Now, the things he longed for no longer had anything to do with him. All the deliberations are empty in an instant. Hesse wiped the blood from his saber and, with Begi's soldiers, trampled over his corpse.

Nothing but death is what we can really get.
