1075 BC.

Emperor Yi of the Shang Dynasty died.

The Shang Dynasty was in turmoil, and Emperor Xin ascended to the throne.

King Dixin was handsome and mighty, governed the country well, and loved the people like a son.

He once thwarted the hegemonic act of religious interference in court politics, destroyed the underworld forces of the aristocracy, and made indelible contributions to consolidating the national strength and people's livelihood of the Shang Dynasty.

In order to usurp power and seize the throne, King Wu of Zhou spread rumors, slandered and smeared Emperor Xin, and was called the King of Shang by later generations.

After King Dixin succeeded to the throne, the treasury was extremely scarce, internal and external troubles, and all countries and foreign tribes were eyeing each other, and there was a possibility of launching an attack and invading at any time.

In order to enrich the national treasury revenue and enrich the country and strengthen the army, Minister Bigan advocated reducing taxes and forced labor, encouraging the development of agricultural and animal husbandry production, and advocating economic development such as mineral exploration, smelting and casting, and jade carving.

At that time, jade was a precious treasure, and wearing jade ornaments was a symbol of the status of emperors and generals; It can also facilitate the trading and circulation of goods; Taking control of the jade mine is equivalent to mastering one of the lifelines of the economy.

In the Funiu Mountain area, which is 600 miles away from the Shangdu, a very rare jade resource was discovered, Meihua Jade .......

Since then, this scarce jade species has been up and down in the world.

Until the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the beginning of the year, in the spring of the first year of Ping (190), a thrilling battle for mining was launched, and a brutal and inhumane killing ...... was launched at Funiu Mountain.

The plum blossom jade mine was tragically occupied by thieves, and the mine keepers fought to bury the mine cave with death. The last two opponents with strong martial arts, after Bian Zhuangzi, Bian He fell into the abyss and his life and death were unknown, and the thief Zhu Li was ......dying.

It's a discoloration.

However, every ten and a half years, a group of mysterious treasure hunters appear in this area, either fleeing for their lives or mysteriously disappearing ....... This insoluble mystery is puzzling, who are these murderous murderers?

So far, no one knows the exact location of the plum blossom jade mine, and no one dares to ask about it anymore.

Until the end of the Qing Dynasty, people in the vicinity settled here in the name of escaping war.

Among them, there is an uncle Chang, with a cloth towel tied around his waist, his legs bandaged, and his sharp eyes reveal an aggressive murderous aura, although he has reached the age of being pleasant, his vigorous body and that deep and unpredictable expression make people shudder.......

Another family is also surnamed Chang, according to legend, is the descendants of the royal jade carver, until the Shang Dynasty Emperor Xin was overthrown and destroyed by King Wu of Zhou, in order not to lose their carving skills, they escaped the pursuit of officers and soldiers, and several generations of people hid incognito in Lixia Village in the West Bureau.

As everyone knows, there is a hidden murderous machine here, and the undercurrent is surging, and the Chang family in Lixia Village is cautious and does not dare to act rashly.

According to the complex texture structure of plum blossom jade and carved a rare and beautiful carving of the Chang family, there is no way to perform.

They multiplied, settled two villages in the ravines, reclaimed wasteland, raised livestock, worked at sunrise and lived in the sun, and seemed to live a plain and peaceful farm life.

Chang Yongde waited in the heavy snow, he rubbed his hands, with an expectant smile on his face, but his eyes kept looking at the window of the thatched house, he stomped his feet anxiously, turned his body, and seemed impatient for this moment of joy.

He thought to himself, this time his wife must have given birth to a male baby, it must be, this is already the fifth child, and the fortune teller also counted, it is a male baby, he was extremely excited, the big yellow dog next to him was as excited as him, looked up at him, turned his face around him, and the thick tail was like a reel on a well, constantly swaying, it was called "rhubarb".

Clicking...... a bolt of lightning swept through the sky to the rocky hill on the opposite hill; A long blast of thunder rolled on the ground until it disappeared into the sky, Chang Yongde looked at the sky with disdain, and he didn't care about this rare spring thunder, still twisting his hands and staring at the dilapidated window tightly.

With a burst of baby crying, the midwife pushed open the door of the house with a bang, looked up and glanced at Chang Yongde contemptuously, and shouted very angrily: "It's another girl-" and hurriedly walked up viciously, suddenly her feet slipped, and she sat on the ground with a bang, Chang Yongde hurriedly rushed into the house without looking, he couldn't believe it was true, anxiously and rudely untied the swaddling clothes, pinched the baby's calf and neck, lowered his head to look, and suddenly closed his eyes very disappointed and painful.

The midwife got up from the snow with difficulty, and in the direction of the window, said angrily, "Hmph, wreck." Then he went out again and disappeared into the snow.

Chang Yongde walked to the noodle jar with a heavy heart, glanced at the empty bottom of the noodle can, and then resolutely walked to the bed, picked up the baby girl in swaddling clothes, stood in front of the door, looked up at the snowy sky, and used his thick fingers to pinch the extra cloth horns to cover the baby's little face, and walked towards the village step by step. The baby girl was very calm, and the strong dazzling snow light made her blink her eyes vigorously, as if she wanted to see her father's every move, Chang Yongde couldn't help but feel excited.

Behind him, his wife's heart-rending cry came: "Yongde...... Rise...... Rise...... Ang ......", the voice gradually weakened until it disappeared as Chang Yongde opened the distance step by step.

The snow is getting heavier and heavier, the whole world is white, and it is almost impossible to see the mountain road in front of him, Chang Yongde glanced at the baby girl who was gradually sleeping, the snowflakes slowly fell and fell on the little face, and soon turned into crystal water droplets, he once again covered the swaddling cloth corner for the child, and stubbornly walked forward step by step.

He has hatred in his heart, this hatred makes him miserable, he never cares about boys and girls, they are all human babies, they are all meat that has fallen from his body, why does this "desperate" hat have to be firmly buckled on his head? It's like a mantra.

Why do you want to be inferior just because you don't have this "handle"? He hated his father; hating their own mother; hating all who despise themselves with strange eyes; I also hate this world that is as cold as the merciless snow.

"Don't come into this house until you give birth to a boy for me." Chang Yufu clenched his fists, angrily pounded the ground with his cane, and his white beard was also pouted angrily, shouting viciously: "If you don't give birth to a male baby, you will continue to give birth to me, or if you still have a female baby, you will be carried to the rocky hill, and if you don't raise your mouth, cough cough cough ......, ah——, cough cough cough ......." ”

"Blame who? Look at it, regret it-" Zhang Guizhi hurriedly picked up his wife, pulled him into the house, still turned around unrelentingly, looked at his son Chang Yongde, who was not angry, and shouted: "If you marry someone else's girl, it won't be this kind of result, disobedient, eat the consequences, give birth to a girl, and another girl or a girl?" Look at other people's girls, now they have three fat boys, and they are all lovely. ”

Chang Yongde didn't dare to think about it anymore, and the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt .......

This is the first baby girl he is about to throw into the rocky hill with his own hands, his own daughter, he is distressed, like the ten thousand arrows piercing the heart; The heavy snow on the hillside was mixed with a whirlwind, he couldn't see the road in front of him clearly, but he felt the general direction, and it was difficult to walk, and the oncoming wind and snow wrapped around his body and legs, and he was still iron-hearted, strong and walked forward without flinching......

He freed his left hand and blocked it in front of him, feeling that when he arrived at this rocky hill, he looked down and found a black stone as big as a mat, wet, snowflakes gently floating on it, slowly melting, and a faint small round stone pit with wisps of mist, he guessed that this was the stone pit that had just been struck by lightning, how could he have the heart to take care of these.

In the tragic pit of Ranshigang, I don't know how many bones of infants and young children have been thrown here, and the ...... who died young, died of illness, and drowned as soon as they were born. He didn't dare to look around, lest he see the dazzling white bones that made people tremble, and cold sweat broke down his spine when he thought about it, he was a timid farmer who was afraid of things.

He bent down, stretched out his hand, touched the slightest warmth, and he panicked to remove the small stones in the small stone pit on the side of the stone, just enough to put the baby down, in order to let the baby girl live a little longer, not to freeze to death soon, he also put a few stones beside him.

Chang Yongde lowered his head in frustration, looked at the ruddy little face, the kind and lovely smile, couldn't help but stretch his neck, leaned up and kissed it, closed his eyes in distress, shed tears, turned around and couldn't bear to take another look, stretched out his hand to put the baby girl in the small stone pit, let go of his hand and slowly stood up, wiped a handful of tears, and walked away without looking back.

Suddenly, the baby girl cried, as if she had been stung by a wasp, her voice was harsh, Chang Yongde was shocked in his heart, stopped his steps, the snow was getting bigger and bigger, and the snowflakes were like steel needles, stabbing on his face and hurting in his heart, and he still left without hesitation.

He stretched out his hands, and suddenly saw that his hands were stained with blood, and he felt extremely frightened and afraid, and the heart-wrenching cry lingered in his ears all the time. He ran like he was almost mad, and he froze between the rocks and thorns in a panic, and he fell, and he got up again, and fell again.......

He finally returned home in a frightened state, and suddenly, the scene in front of him made him weakly paralyzed on the snow, and his wife fell to the ground at the door, her eyes stared straight ahead, one hand pierced open and held it hard, and the other hand firmly grasped the threshold, and a pool of black blood ...... under her body.

Chang Yongde desperately crawled up and grabbed his wife's hand, which was already cold to the bone.

He vigorously broke his wife's hand holding the threshold, held it in his arms, warmed it with his face, and shook it with his hands, but he didn't react in the slightest.

"Gnaw, gnaw, gnaw—ang, ang, ang—someone—save my wife—"

Chang Yongde opened his mouth, crying hysterically loudly ......, holding him tightly in his arms and shaking, looking around helplessly and anxiously, but here is still two kilometers away from the big village, his shouting seems powerless, he hugged his wife's body vigorously, and walked towards the village step by step, drops of blood, sprinkled on the white snow.......

Suddenly, the soles of his feet slipped, he lay on the ground with his back face, and his wife rolled out of his arms, and he hurriedly crawled over and hugged her.

He gritted his teeth, looked up at the sky, beat his chest and feet, and shouted, "Heavens——。 Another gust of cold wind buried the heart-rending cry, staring at the snow in the sky, and the mind was like a blurred sky.

Large snowflakes drifted in front of him, staggering to the ground, he didn't know what to do now, crying helplessly, and gradually became indifferent into a dull expression of wanting to cry without tears.

He stretched out his hand to gently smooth his wife's dead eyes, ...... quietly, and sat quietly on the snow.

The "rhubarb" waded through the snow, through the woods, and ran towards the mountain, sniffing everywhere in the direction of the smell, walking back and forth anxiously, searching, as if it had inexhaustible strength, and was very energetically searching.

Finally, it heard the cry of the baby girl, "Rhubarb" wagged his tail excitedly, walked over gently, stretched out his long tongue and licked the baby's face, and gradually, the baby girl opened her eyes peacefully, blinking at the long mouth of the big yellow dog.

"Rhubarb" tried his best to shake off the snow off his body, curled up his legs and lay down ...... the baby girl.

There are often wild beasts in this area, not to mention that the heavy snow is about to close the mountain, and the cruel and hungry beasts are in danger of rushing over at any time.
