In the second year of Emperor Song Xiangxing, Kublai Khan to the sixteenth year of the Yuan Dynasty, Song Zhang Hongfan destroyed Song in Yashan, Lu Xiufu took the emperor and threw himself into the sea, and the harem and the ministers, the army and the people were mostly from the dead. On the seventh day, more than 100,000 floating corpses went to sea.

Wen Tianxiang, who was imprisoned in Dadu, would rather die than bend and calmly take justice. After his death, a poem was found in his belt, which was for "The Inscription of the Belt of Clothes": "Kong said to be benevolent, and Meng said to take righteousness." Only its righteousness is exhausted, so benevolence is the best. What do you learn when you read the books of the sages? Now and then, Shu is almost worthy of it. ”

Song extinguished Yuanxing, and decades later, the Yuan family passed to the late emperor Huizong, also known as Emperor Shun.

In a family on the banks of the Yellow River, a child who had been ill for a long time woke up from a coma. Ignoring the joy of the people in the room, he looked at them one by one with wide eyes in disbelief. Every face, familiar and unfamiliar. There were two different memories, mingling in his mind. One from the republic after a thousand years, and one from the essence of this body.

In the classroom, where the windows are bright and clear, the teacher talks endlessly. In the thatched hut, the private school gentleman with his hands on his back shook his head and recited poetry. In the bright night, singing and dancing are leveling. The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the smiling tartars enter the village. Uncle Liu at the head of the village died of starvation last winter. Sister Xiaocui in the next village was snatched away by the county town last month and became the thirteenth concubine. A teenager, riding a lamb and wielding a wooden knife: "Kill, kill, kill!" ”

He clenched his fists tightly, not knowing whether it was the fear of new memories or the fear of being cut off from the old familiar environment. He was sweating profusely, like waking up from a nightmare, and then falling into a nightmare. The people in the room, panicked, called the doctor one after another, and a pair of rough hands gently patted him, stroked him, and comforted him.

The moment the body touches, the memory of the body takes over.

The middle-aged man with an anxious look on his face was his father, and the strong man on the side who was fierce and sincere worried was called Deng San, and his father was a sworn brother. The young man who knelt on the side of the bed, holding his hand, staring at him blankly, and clumsily trying to wipe away the sweat for him was his small hair, and his name was Zhao Guo.

His father gave everything he could to provide for him to go to a private school. Deng San hunted wild game, brought it with great interest, and teased him to call him uncle with fragrant meat. On the day Xiaocui was snatched away, he was very sad, Zhao Guo would not comfort people, and he was like today, he accompanied him blankly, accompanied him for two days and two nights. The bits and pieces of warmth and affection appeared in his heart.

He slowly calmed down, and his gaze passed over their faces one by one, and his eyes were very different. He let go of his hand, the sweat fading away, and he heard the noise of the room, the wind and rain outside.

Outside the window, it was raining heavily. The river roars in the distance.

On both sides of the Yellow River, there are many displaced people who can't survive, they are invincible, and in the past few years, they have made a great name, which is a later story, not to mention for the time being.
