Daqin is located in the cold land of Beizhou, cold in winter and cool in summer, from childhood to adulthood, the nurse will always prepare the warm honey locust water before I get up, or hug, or pull, or coax me to the wooden basin 'tricked' to the front of the wooden basin, wash up, and then serve me a steaming breakfast.

Today, the basin is empty, presumably, yesterday's events are true!

I staggered to the table where I was disarmed, and on the table, there was a strip of rag paper, two brute heads, and a plate of pickles. I remembered what the nurse said before parting, wiped away my tears, and while gobbling up the food, I picked up the strip of cloth, only to see the note left by the master that said: The old man has passed away, Zhangwu Mound Ruins, lift your spirits, and start a new journey. Don't go out, don't read, wait for me to return!

When the curfew began again in the city, I was still sitting on that earthen bench.

The moon is the sun, the lonely son is the door, lonely and helpless, it is difficult to look back yesterday, and the grass house is very cold this night.

When the moon set on the west wall, a familiar figure appeared in front of him, and the master slowly returned with heavy steps.

Seeing that the master's shirt was still the same and his hair was in good condition, I quietly wiped away my tears and happily ran to the master, who smiled gently, handed me the roast chicken in his arms, and walked into the house with me in his arms.

At the meal, I eagerly asked the master, "Teacher, how is the nurse?" Are you healed? ”

The master did not answer my question, unusually, slowly tore the roast chicken into small pieces, chewed it slowly, and did not make any noise when I asked it.

Although the master is quite talented and scheming, he is very bad at hiding his expression in front of me, and when I see this, I know that things are not good.

So, I hurriedly grabbed the master's arm and shouted, "Master, what is going on?" ”

The master took a sip of hot water and looked out the small window, his eyes full of unwillingness and affection.

"This morning, joy is gone! Forever! Listen to the master's words, after eating this meal, let's go, with the master's ability, this small Zhangwu City can't trap you and me. It's also a good thing for the master to find a pure place for you for the rest of your life! Few people can explain the things in the world clearly. ”

I didn't expect that a person like him, who is determined to calm the world, would also have a day of discouragement.

I was unwilling, my emotions were out of control, I cried bitterly, and cried unscrupulously, "That..." What about the nurse? Just died in such an unknown way? What is the plan behind this great plague? Is it a natural disaster or a man-made disaster? You have taught me since I was a child that there is no right and wrong in this world, wouldn't it be too sad? ”

The master sighed lightly, "Child, in this world, black and white are too dazzling, and it is not easy to keep gray all the time. ”

Then, while touching my head and gently comforting me, the master said softly, "Child, tell you a story, have you heard of Zhangwu Fan's family?" This Fan family is the Three Kingdoms Shu Han Shangshu after Fan Jian, Zhuge Ke once commented that Fan Jian 'is not as talented as Zongxuan, and his elegance is excessive', and the Fan family is a family full of Confucianism. In 295 AD, the Han Shenwu Emperor Liu Chen fought with my Great Qin, and after returning from a tragic victory, he ordered Fan Jian's grandson Fan Cheng to guard Zhangwu County and educate the people. After Fan Cheng's death, his son Fan Tingnan succeeded to the position of county guard. ”

I choked up and asked, "What does this have to do with today's events?" ”

The master wiped away my tears and said slowly, "There are only three generations of rich and poor, and after all, the Fan family has been an official for five generations." With Liu Yan's accession to the throne that year, the Gongsun family, which was in Zhangwu County with the Fan family, made a contribution to the dragon, and then reversed the decline and prospered again. One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, and the Gongsun family, who may covet the position of the county guard, is already impatient. Perhaps the Fan family felt that their family's position was in jeopardy, and they urgently needed something to strengthen their position. ”

My eyes were dazed, and I sat down on the kang with a dejected slump, and after thinking about it, my voice suddenly cold, "So there is today's plague, right?" Therefore, the corpses and bones everywhere in Zhangwu City are man-made disasters, right? So, my nurse, she deserves to be a victim of their struggle for power, right? ”

The master didn't answer, he was silent for a while, put a chicken leg into my plate, and said lightly, "Eat quickly, child, after eating, let's take a nap, tonight, we'll go." As a teacher, I have already thought about it, and I will take you to Yizhou in the southwest of the Han Dynasty, where the mountains and rivers are good, and it is far away from Daqin, which is the most suitable for self-cultivation and seclusion. ”

I held back the tears from my eyes and gulped down the drumsticks.

Master, this chicken leg is so hard! It's not as good as one of the tens of millions made by the nurse!

In the dead of night, my master and I sat in silence, immersed in the last days of our stay in Zhangwu.

Looking back at the hometown thousands of miles away, don't say anything to anyone?

There was a creak in the courtyard, breaking the silence between me and my master.

The master frowned slightly, glanced at me deeply, and then looked out, his fingertips moved slightly, and then sneered and laughed, "Heh, such a big battle, I actually sent six masters who broke the city realm at one time, and I am afraid that there are only a few princes of Great Qin who can come up with such a generous hand!" ”

Speaking of this, the master leaned over to look at me, the coldness in his eyes gradually turned into tenderness and expectation, he gently stroked my hair bun, and said kindly, "Child, the chasing soldiers have arrived, judging from the other party's lineup, today's events may not end well." For the teacher to lure them away, you go and hide in the kennel, remember, no matter what, don't make a sound, don't come out! Wait for the opportunity to escape, child, besides me, there is another person sent by the empire to protect you in the shadows, and this person can protect you for half your life. ”

After some encouragement, the master said to me earnestly, "Child, remember, but there is ambition, no longer Angelica, if you want to be a hermit, you need to keep to yourself, endure all the unbearable things in the world, if you want to be an emperor, you need to win over helpers, restrain capable people, and don't judge things with mood after ascending the throne." Also, the sages and sages do not agree, and the source is also to be waited, if you want to return to Great Qin to compete for the throne, you must find an appropriate time. The fate of you and me in this life is here! ”

Before I could reply, the master resolutely rushed out of the door and never came back, I hid in the dog cave and did not come out for a long time.

When I was seven years old, I read Cao Zijian's "Luo Shen Fu", and with a stroke of my pen, I wrote: The bitterness and happiness in the world are all what I want, joy and sorrow, can be drunk!

Since then, I have been praised and loved by my father, and eventually my brothers have turned against each other!

Presumably, in my life, I should be like Cao Zhi, unaccompanied and alone!

The stars are divided into bullfights, and the early spring night is cold.

The chill brought by the earth made me shiver, and suddenly brought my thoughts back to the world, and I looked through the gap in the dog's cave at the dilapidated and warm hut, and my heart gradually hardened.

The fist and heart of the master and the nurse must not be disappointed, I must live!

I endured the heartache, and after thinking about it, I smeared the dog shit on the ground on my face, tore my clothes indiscriminately, rolled on the ground a few times, and instantly turned into a beggar. Then, I quickly climbed over the earthen wall, and secretly moved to the south of the city, because of my short stature and dexterity, I successfully avoided the night patrol of the county soldiers, and when I reached the city gate, a voice suddenly came from the dark, "The boy does not move, wait for the opportunity, and go out of the city with the herald the next day." ”

At a critical juncture, the person who secretly protected me as the master said finally opened his mouth.

I didn't hesitate at all, and immediately committed myself to the dark alley.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, at noon, I had been hiding all night in the broken grass near the south of the city, and I had not slept all night, hungry and cold, and I did not dare to sleep or move.

Just when I was about to fall into a coma, a hurried voice came from the darkness again, "Boy, hurry, use your nursing strength and run out!" ”

I didn't have time to think about it, so I used all my strength and ran towards the south gate. At this time, the south gate was opened like a ghost, and a group of people on the opposite side slowly walked towards me, led by Gongsun Haojin, the third son of the Gongsun family, accompanied by old and young, eagles and dogs, and even a bald little stream.

I didn't look carefully at the strange combination in front of me, I just ran around, but halfway through, my legs suddenly went limp, I was suddenly frightened, and the secret was not good: in the cold day, my body had already been frozen and stiffened, and there was no food in my abdomen, so I was powerless at the moment, and it was difficult to move forward an inch.

But just when I ran out of ammunition, I only felt that I was engulfed by a stream of heat, the wind was under my feet, and my whole body was full of strength, and I immediately sprinted, and ran much faster than usual.

The soldiers defending the city stepped forward and tried to use the wind and fire to roll at me, but I was sensitive and bowed my head.

The opposite group saw my foul-smelling beggar coming, and involuntarily flashed a way, and was about to pass by, when a young man with thick eyebrows and goose face suddenly stretched out his hand, and a handful of fruit appeared in his hand, I quickly grabbed it, and immediately flashed out of the city.

As soon as I left the city, I vaguely heard a man with a sword behind him say, "Mother! This is a master! ”

I don't know how long I ran south, and a mountain appeared in front of me, and after making sure that there were no pursuers behind me, I sat at the foot of the mountain, mouthful of fruit, and looked at the city coldly.

The mountains are slightly cloudy, and the sky is even declining grass. The master and the nurse left me nothing, and I left endless hatred for this city.

There is a long time and an end to the sky, and this hatred is endless, no! Break off! Time limit!

Hearing the muffled croaking of beasts in the mountains, I walked towards them.

I swear: When I succeed, I will be overwhelmed by the army, slaughtered all the martial arts, and all the people here will be buried for the master and the nurse!
