Volume 1 Shrine Chapter 2
Five years ago
Run!
As a scream came into his ears, a large group of people scattered and fled, Lin Ji interspersed in the crowd, and fled with the crowd,
"Drive" da!
As the sound of the horse's hooves got closer and closer, the people became more nervous, and in a panic, Lin Ji ran into a mountain and took refuge between rocks, which allowed him to escape. He watched in the shadows as the soldiers killed the people, the elderly, the children, and the women.
"This herd"
Lin Ji clenched his fists, but then smiled self-deprecatingly,
"I'm really a wasted person, as a hot-blooded man, but I can only survive for a long time, life is better than death,
If, if you can,
I also want to calm the troubled times, but unfortunately I'm just a mortal, but what! ”
Wait until the soldiers have finished killing the civilians and left. Lin Jicai slowly came out and returned to his village.
When he came to the entrance of the village, Lin Ji saw a large group of people pointing and pointing by the river.
"What happened?"
Lin Ji slowly walked to the river, walked through the crowd, and saw a woman with a disheveled hair falling by the river, but none of the onlookers around dared to check, they were all afraid of getting into trouble, watching all this
Lin Ji slowly walked to the woman who fainted by the river and tried to breathe,
"Still alive"
After saying that, Lin Ji asked people for help,
"Who's going to help me"
However, in response to him, there was indifference, so Lin Ji took her back to his village, and when she walked to the village, the villagers first greeted him, and then saw him holding a woman and hurried over to help.
A few days later......
Pretty eyebrows blinked,
"She's awake, go and inform Lin Ji"
A villager said, and after that, a villager walked towards Lin Ji's house.
Shouted "Lin Ji, the woman is awake"
"You saved me,"
"It's just a gesture, mainly the villagers help, if it weren't for them, I wouldn't know what to do,"
"Thank you anyway,"
"By the way, I found you by the river, why are you there,"
Seeing that she was silent, ...... thought that there was something unspeakable, so he comforted, "It's okay, if you don't want to say it, don't say it,"
"Oh yes, my name is Lin Ji, what's your name?"
"Just call me Xiaoyu,"
"Light rain?! Xiaoyu, where is your home? ”
"I ...... I don't have a home anymore," "Xiaoyu, do you have any friends?"
"No, my family is dead"
"Sorry, I didn't mean to......"
"It's okay"
"Then why don't you look at this, it's very chaotic outside now, why don't you stay here for the time being, and treat this place as your home,"
“…… Home"
From that day on, Xiaoyu lived in the village, and usually went to help Lin Ji, because Lin Ji was older than her, so she called Lin Ji her brother
Winter goes to spring,
The two gradually developed feelings between them, and in the next month, the two walked together and made a loving couple, Lin Ji was handsome and chic, Xiaoyuhua looked like the moon, and was called a talented woman by the villagers, because Linxi Village was located in a relatively private place in Hanzhong, so it was not affected by the war, so the villagers of Linxi Village also maintained that simplicity,
Five years later!
The flames of war raged, and a figure that was not strong rushed into the flames of battle in Linxi Village......
One hundred and ten years of Anyuan!
Linxi Village, Hanzhong – Soldiers attacked the village, none of the villagers survived, and the village burned down......
At this time, on a mountain fifty miles away from Linxi Village......
A woman stood on the top of a mountain with a baby less than a month old, looking at the fire in Linxi Village, her eyes blank......
"Brother Lin Ji, fellow fathers and fellow villagers, you go well" After the woman said this, she got a wooden plank from nowhere,
Inserted on the top of the mountain,
Facing is the burning fire of Linxi Village,
And this woman is Xiaoyu's mother and son who escaped from Linxi Village, Xiaoyu found some stones around the plank, and then she found another sharp stone,
carved the tombstone on the wooden board, and after carving, she slowly knelt down with Zixuan in her eyes full of tears, bowed to the tombstone and Linxi Village three times, and then Xiaoyu suddenly got up, she wiped away her tears, hugged Lin Zixuan and turned away.
Spring goes to autumn, in an instant, five years have passed,
Chang'an City!
On Chang'an Street, people come and go, even after years of war, such a big city is still very prosperous.
Most of the people here are high-ranking officials, either they have official positions, or official descendants, or businessmen who travel to and from various countries, but there is also a group of people, refugees, beggars, most of these refugees and beggars are affected by the war, so they come to these big cities to take refuge.
"It's time for soup kitchen! Soup kitchen! "At this time, the door of a shop opened, and there were several large cauldrons in front of the door, and the pots were filled with some thin rice, and the people who spoke were the men who gave soup porridge.
Hearing this, the refugees and beggars scrambled with their bowls to beg for porridge, and after a while, the porridge was snatched up, and some of the refugees and beggars devoured all the porridge in their bowls after they got food, but there was a woman who took the porridge in her arms and walked towards the city gate.
Outside Chang'an City, next to the ancient road, there is a broken house, outside the broken house,
There was a little boy about five years old on the ground with a small wooden stick to write some vague words, look closely, only one of them is probably recognizable Lin characters, the other two words are crooked and unclear, the little boy muttered while writing,
"Why hasn't my mother come yet?" said the little boy as he continued to write his crooked words,
After a while, a woman in tattered clothes and a dirty face walked towards the dilapidated house, not knowing what she was holding. After the little boy looked at the woman, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he ran crookedly towards the woman, shouting as he ran,
"Mother, you're back" The woman saw the little boy running over, her face also showed a smile, she put down the things in her hand, picked up the little boy and said, "Xuan'er, when your mother is away, have you run around obediently" After hearing this, the little boy said to the woman as if he was invited,
"Mother, Zixuan is very well-behaved, I didn't run around after listening to my mother's words, hehe"
After hearing this, the woman gently scraped the bridge of the little boy's nose with her hand, and said, "My Xuan'er is the most well-behaved" "Mother, you brought something delicious back this time, won't it be porridge again?"
The little boy said, looking at the woman's cloth-wrapped object
After the woman heard this, she touched the little boy's head distressedly and said, "Mother promises you that next time I will bring you a baked cake."
"Really, my mother doesn't lie?"
The little boy said that after the woman heard this, she scraped the bridge of the little boy's nose with her hand, and said to the little boy angrily and with a smile, "You, when did your mother lie to you?"
"Let's go, let's eat," said the woman, opening her bag of porridge and eating it happily with the little boy.
It is the mother and son of Linxi Village in Hanzhong.
They were displaced for three years because of the war, and finally settled in Chang'an with a large group of refugees, but fortunately, they found this dilapidated house in a place where there are few people, and temporarily had a place to live.
And there are some good people in Chang'an City who will give porridge every day, and Xiaoyu will go to Chang'an City every day to ask for porridge, so it also solves the problem of food and clothing, and stays here for two years.
The Four Forces!
In a dark palace, a thin man with evil eyes stood in the center of the palace as if waiting for something, and sure enough, after a while, a mysterious man wearing a black robe and wearing a skull mask appeared in the main hall.
"You're coming," the man said to the mysterious man,
"Fifty boys and girls under the age of ten will be given once every three years" The mysterious man's voice was hoarse, and it sounded extremely harsh.
"Don't worry," the man responded,
"Remember, you don't have much time, and if there's a mistake, hmph, I don't need to say more about that adult's methods," said the mysterious man.
"Yes, yes, don't worry, I won't disappoint the adults," the man lowered his head and said in horror when he heard this.
By the time he raised his head, the mysterious man had already disappeared, and looking at the disappeared mysterious man, the thin man's eyes flashed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
