Chapter 1: Downfall

In the 39th season, the sky is cold, the snow covers the earth, and the eaves of every house are hanging with crystal icicles.

Dressed in thick clothes, people hurried down the street, white mist snorting out with their noses, like a humming old cow, their eyes wandering, their expressions wary, always keeping an eye on the pedestrians around them.

This is not a peaceful place, and people often commit murder in the streets.

'Buzz~Buzz~Buzz~'

At noon, the sound of the bell suddenly sounded, echoing in the sky, and the goose feathers and snow in the sky kept swaying in the abrupt sound waves, flying all over the sky, like white flowers.

Most people are accustomed to this, and they just walk on their own, unwilling to stop for a moment.

However, there are still some people who can't help but look up, there is a huge tower in the distance, the black tower body is like an ancient giant tower, straight into the sky, the dark clouds like thick ink revolve around the tower body, forming a huge whirlpool, the clouds seem to have imprisoned the ancient beasts, from time to time there is a roaring sound.

'Ka~Ka~'

Some of the icicles under the eaves could no longer hold on to the impact of the sound waves, and smashed towards the ground.

'Meow~' A flower cat quickly jumped up, the ice pick grazed its tail and fell, stabbing on the ground fiercely, only to see the flower cat grinning, looking very angry, eager to tear the icicle to pieces and chew it.

At this moment, a thin young man hurried past the cat, quickly pushed open the door and walked in.

It was a very simple house, and the roof was overgrown with dry weeds, which swayed in the wind and snow, and could crawl down at any moment and be covered with snow.

The interior of the house is simple, with a round table, two stools, an old clay kang, and some miscellaneous objects piled up in the corner of the house.

"Mother, I'm going to find something, you can eat it quickly, it's cold, it's not okay if you don't eat enough!" The young man who had just entered the house held the food in his hand.

In front of him sat a middle-aged woman with a pale face and a weak breath, her long hair casually pulled back her head, and her eyes were full of melancholy.

This woman must have been extremely beautiful before, but at this time she was seriously ill, like the summer flowers that suffered the autumn frost, and no longer had the glamorous elegance of the past.

"Ling'er, is there still no news of her?" the woman shook her head and said, apparently without a taste.

The young man put his things down and exhaled violently, as if to vent the depression in his heart.

"No!" is just two simple words, but it contains countless emotions.

The woman moved her body slowly, suddenly coughed heavily, her face became even paler, she frowned, and said thoughtfully: "I have been restless these days, I am afraid that something ominous will happen, and she has not appeared, let's leave the He family!"

Hearing this, the man's expression was panicked for a moment, he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said: "Mother, Shu Yao and I are childhood sweethearts, and the two of us have a marriage contract, she will not leave me at this time, wait a minute!"

The woman stopped talking, and finally nodded slowly.

'Knock~Knock~Knock~'

As soon as the bell fell, the sound of drums came from the giant tower, and the rumbling was endless.

"I don't know where your father is now, or where the rest of your clan has gone. And the woman remembered many things of the past, and she spoke softly, and she was very distraught.

The young man's face was gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "They have their own natural appearance, don't worry about it!"

"Is the auspicious person in heaven? The result is that the family is ruined, and the clan is displaced!"

Hearing his mother's inaudible words, the man's heart was like a knife, and his mind was full of the past and distress.

My father's blood-stained body stood up to the sky, but it looked too tired, my mother was seriously injured and struggling on the verge of life and death, the blood of the people was gushing like a spring, and one by one they kept falling, and the corpses were lying in wait and bleeding all over the place, and their Yangzilou plaque was kicked down and collapsed to the ground.

When the building that witnessed the glory of the family turned into rubble, everyone in the Yang family seemed to have fallen into the endless abyss, their hearts were like ashes, defeated again and again, and almost slaughtered.

The curtain flashed through his mind as if it had just happened, when a blood-stained sword pierced his shoulder and threatened to die.

But between life and death, a woman with a few henchmen desperately rescued him and his mother, and the woman was He Shuyao, who was his childhood sweetheart and had a marriage contract.

"Shu Yao ......"

From time to time, the figure of the woman appeared in his eyes, she was elegant and vulgar, with a light and spiritual aura, delicate skin, leisurely demeanor, gentle smile, and indescribable gentleness.

"Brother Ling......" She always has a shy face and beautiful eyes.

This young man's name is Yang Ling, and he is now just a child of a down-and-out family.

On the earthen kang, the woman had already fallen asleep wrapped in a quilt, frowning, she should have dreamed of something bad.

Yang Ling quietly walked to the side of the kang and sat down, falling into the other side of the memory, where there was crying and laughing, happiness and sweetness, and more dreams and hopes.

Just as he was immersed in the past, the wooden door of the hut was kicked open.

I saw a fat man staggering in, holding a wine jug in his hand, and his face was full of anger.

"You damn things, occupy grandpa's nest, let grandpa and me freeze day and night, get out of ...... Get out!" he slammed the flask in his hand at Yang Ling.

The woman had been awakened, and the sight before her had made her face even paler.

Yang Ling's body shook, and he easily dodged the attacking wine jug, only to hear a crisp sound, the wine jug shattered, and the wine inside spilled all over the ground.

"Who are you? Are you a subordinate of the He Mansion? The subordinate can eat so fat, and his face is full of oil, it seems that he is also a cheating and trickster!" Yang Ling was amazed and deliberately teased.

Yang Ling is not a person who does not know how to count the number of courtesies, they are not doves occupying the magpie's nest, because He Shuyao made it clear to him at the beginning that this house is uninhabited, so they can take refuge with their mother and son temporarily.

And from the skin color and body shape of the fat man, you can also guess that the other party is here to find fault.

Besides, as soon as the other party entered the house, he used obscenities and started to commit murder, obviously the person who came was not good, so Yang Ling was so ridiculed.

The fat man scolded, shook the fat on his whole body and scolded: "Aren't you just relying on He Shuyao? If it weren't for saving her some face, I would have beaten you to death and fed the dogs! But you don't have a few days to live, maybe you don't know, He Shuyao is going to marry the Li family's son-in-law, and three days later will be a good day and an auspicious day, and after they get married, see who else is willing to care about your life or death! So I advise you to get out now, otherwise I will kill you!"

Hearing this, Yang Ling's face changed drastically, and his heart was terrified, but after a while, he seemed to be calm and relaxed again.

I saw him smile and scold: "You dead fat man has some ability, and you can use scheming when you are drunk, I see that you are drinking a fake bar?"

The fat man was slightly stunned, and then hiccuped and roared: "My brother is right, you guy doesn't cry when he doesn't see the coffin, just now, the He family has already begun to arrange the wedding, and in three days your woman will beg for mercy under the crotch of the Li family's man, hahaha......"

Yang Ling's heart was uneasy, and his originally firm belief began to slowly melt.

In the past few days, he has suffered from gains and losses, and he is always afraid that the He family will unilaterally cancel the marriage contract between him and He Shuyao.

He glanced back at his mother and asked eagerly.

"Shu Yao won't leave me, right? We have an oath that the white head will not be separated, and life and death will depend on each other forever!"

The mother nodded and said softly, "Yes, Shu Yao is a girl who values love and righteousness. ”

Yang Ling seemed to grasp a life-saving straw and nodded gratefully to his mother.

But the reality is embarrassing, and his mother's next sentence plunged him into an endless abyss.

"But what family would marry their own descendants to a son of a down-and-out family?"

"Could it be that the family's mission is so important? if it were me, I would definitely disobey the family's orders!" Yang Ling was categorical and sonorous.

The mother just shook her head, with a slight wry smile on the corner of her mouth, and no longer argued, but said lightly: "Go and see, if she really wants to marry someone, let's leave the He family!"

Yang Ling's face was cloudy, he took a deep breath, and then rushed towards the outside of the house, and when he passed the fat man, he didn't forget to hit the other party fiercely.

"You fat man, if you tease me with lies, I will cut out your tongue and feed it to the dogs!"

The fat man looked at the distant back, jumped to his feet and scolded, he rubbed his sore shoulders, eager to eat Yang Ling alive.

It stands to reason that he should have gone out to see a joke, but he did not leave at all, but walked towards the kang in good spirits.

And he was completely drunk, rubbing his hands and smiling lewdly.

"It's said that your stupid son has been stunned, you see that he was calm and humiliated me just now, but now he is like an ant on a hot pot, it's really sad and ridiculous. But he's cheaper for me to go, I'm a well-known beauty killer, especially like a sick beauty like you, who wants to struggle but can't do it when twisting under me, that pitiful appearance is really pitiful, but it makes me want to ravage you even more......"
