At the city gate of Taojiang County, on the border of Chu State, a group of refugees who had fled here were being roughly inspected by the soldiers guarding the city.

They were in rags, and they looked like mayflies on the road, and the soldiers defending the city didn't seem to want to make it difficult, so they turned over their burdens a little and let them go.

Immediately after these refugees entered the city, a group of soldiers came lazily and lazily to shout and greet the refugees, and gathered the refugees aside.

At this time, three people pushed a wheelbarrow carrying firewood and grass towards the city gate, and when they were pushing the cart and the refugees were only a meter away, suddenly, they pulled out their weapons from the firewood and grass and slashed at the soldiers in front of them.

And the refugees, who had seemed miserable a second ago, suddenly became fierce, and they rushed to the wheelbarrow, grabbed their weapons from the firewood and grass, and opened fire on the soldiers who rushed up to defend the city because of the mutiny.

The soldiers stationed on the tower of the city naturally hurried to deal with the sudden change under the city gate, and the archers immediately bent their bows and arrows to release arrows inside, and many soldiers bravely rushed down the city gate to kill these vicious refugees.

However, at this moment, a hundred meters away from the city, a team of soldiers and horses rushed towards the city!

It's just that the soldiers who are busy curbing the inside are staring at the inside of the city, where are they paying attention to the movements outside the city? Wait until

When the sound of horses' hooves was so loud that everyone noticed that something was wrong, this team of soldiers and horses had already come to the city!

"Soldiers and horses are coming! Close the gates! Close the gates! ”

The commander of the city guard shouted urgently, and the drums on the tower were also beaten, and everyone ran desperately to the city gate, trying to close the city gate.

But those "riot refugees" were extremely fierce one by one, killing all the soldiers who tried to close the city gates, and the surging soldiers and horses rushed directly into the city without any hindrance......

……

"Yu'er!" In the woodland, Yu'er rushed straight ahead, and Hua Rou chased behind: "Yu'er, you slow down, wait for me." ”

Yu'er suddenly stood up and turned to look at Hua Rou: "Don't mention what happened just now." ”

Hua Rou was stunned for a moment, and then smiled helplessly: "Of course I won't tell others." ”

"It's impossible for me to be with him." After Yu'er finished speaking, she hurriedly stepped forward, and Hua Rou chased after her in surprise: "Really? I think he still likes you very much......"

"What's the use of liking? I'm not the most important one in his heart, you know what that means? ”

"What?"

Yu'er stood and looked back at Hua Rou: "He will abandon me, for what he cares about the most!" ”

Hua Rou was stunned when she heard this, but Yu'er grabbed Hua Rou's arms at this time, and said excitedly: "I, I will never wronged myself!" If I don't get the most sincere love in this life, I'd rather not! Hua Rou, I advise you to be sober as well. ”

Hua Rou sighed helplessly: "Yu'er, Junwu is very good to me. ”

"What's the use of being good? If one day, you and his country become the opposite, if you want you, you have to give up the country, if you want the country, you have to abandon you, what do you say he will choose? ”

Hua Rou looked at Yu'er's eyes: "I hope he chooses Jiangshan." ”

Yu'er was stunned.

"To end the war, peace in the world is the best day, this is my common wish with him."

"You, you, you don't want love anymore? Can you do without him? ”

"Of course I want love, but I don't have to tie him to my side, and then give up what we care about most about each other is called love!"

Yu'er was stunned again: "What? ”

Hua Rou looked at Yu'er with a smile: "Loving him doesn't have to be possession, let alone ...... I will respect his choice. ”

"No, no, no, it's not right!" Yu'er shook her head vigorously: "Everyone is for themselves!" If people don't do it for themselves, heaven and earth will be destroyed! ”

Hua Rou grabbed Yu'er's hand: "But Master taught me to love my neighbor as myself, my mother wants me to remember that the world is always beautiful, and even you are in danger to help me." ”

"That's because I care about you! If you don't matter to me, I won't help at all! ”

"You're lying to yourself again, haven't you been taking care of Lord Feng these days? Is she important to you? ”

"I, I'm ......," Yu'er muttered, she didn't know how to refute.

Hua Rou smiled lightly: "Take a step back and say, if everyone is really for themselves, then how can you and I stand here?" Wouldn't I have been slain by you long ago? ”

Yu'er stared at Hua Rou with puzzlement and confusion in her eyes: "I really don't understand, why can you let go of your feelings so easily and let go of everything you care about most to others?" Don't you care about these ......?"

"How could I not care? In fact...... I'm afraid of losing, I'm going to be in pain, I'm going to fight back like you, I'm going to punish the wicked, but ...... I don't want to turn myself into a person who resents injustice and hates everything. ”

"Will you avenge your parents? Don't tell me you don't hate Meng Zhixiang! ”

Hua Rou was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "I hate him, thinking of the tragic death of my father, I can't wait to appear in front of him and kill him immediately!" But...... I can't live in the abyss every day because of this hatred! If I become only remembered for hatred, then my father and mother will not be at ease in heaven! ”

Hua Rou looked up at the sky after speaking, and the red sun was already slanting at this moment.

"Yu'er, think about it, have you ever been happy before?"

Yu'er bowed her head and said nothing.

"Whether you are happy or not, the days go by day by day, and the sun is not yet high in the sky, rising and setting day after day?"

Hearing this, Yu'er also looked up at the red sun in the sky, and she had to admit that the red sun and the red glow at this moment were reflected together, which was beautiful.

"You and I are surviving in troubled times, and it is not easy to live." Hua Rou said solemnly: "Why don't you treat yourself well?" ”

What Hua Rou said was her heart.

After her father's death, she encountered darkness and escaped all the way, her heart was not without hatred, but from childhood to adulthood, her father and mother told her that she must be kind, told her to live with a smile to meet every day, and told her to live bravely and treat herself and others well.

When she first arrived at Tangmen, she was bullied and cried silently at night, didn't she ever hate? Yes, but she did not forget the words of her mother who whipped her leg with wicker and made her recite it over and over again: "Hatred will stain the heart, don't let your heart change color." ”

At that time, she was still young, because the yellow skin bit the rabbit she raised, she beat the yellow skin to death and showed off to her mother, as a result, she was beaten for the only time in her life, and felt that she was wronged, and later her father told her that there was no end to hatred, and her parents did not want her to be taken away from the beauty of life by hatred.

She memorized these words, and worked hard to do them, and when she spelled out the things she didn't know through the codex, she finally understood why her father and mother had taught her so much—they wanted her not to be kidnapped by hatred, because they were afraid that her life would lose her goodness and not be at peace because she wanted to avenge them; They didn't let her read and write, because they would rather her be a mountain village girl than that she longed for the outside world and was discovered and arrested by the Tang Sect.

They are protecting her with the most simple love, how dare she not treat her life well?
