The setting sun dyes the mountains.

Near the thousands of mountains, on a winding dirt road, three donkey carts full of goods and livestock drove in the distance.

The donkey carts were in a series of mud, and the potholes continued, and it was not long before the tightly bound goods on the carts were shaken crookedly, and the cattle wailed and howled.

All the way to this point, the chickens and ducks in the cage jumped up and down, and the old sow on the cart also lay down on the cart, crooked there vomiting.

Dragging such a group of beasts, the three donkeys pulling the cart were tired and parched like donkeys.

They were accompanied by only one person, sitting on the cart in front of them, holding a whip to drive a donkey, looking at the mountains in the distance, with no sorrow or joy on his face, as if there was nothing beside him.

Slowly, the donkey cart drove into a mountain col, and further on, there was the only mountain peak in the vicinity that could be named, Yangshan.

At the foot of this Yangshan Mountain, there is a village called Yangshan Village, where dozens of families have been working in the fields for several generations.

But now, this Yangshan village has long since lost its usual peace.

When he was less than a mile away from the head of the village, the eyes of the girl sitting on the donkey cart suddenly flashed with waves.

She stood up and looked into the distance, until she saw the dilapidated and almost dissipated scene at the entrance of the village.

When did my hometown become like this?

In the past, the children who gathered at the entrance of the village to frolic, the adults who returned from farming and chatted, the merchants who came and went to sell goods, and the vaguely visible in their memories stood at the entrance of the village when they left home to bid farewell to their parents with tears in their eyes.

It's all gone, desolate, ruined, overgrown with weeds, mud houses blown down by wind and rain, everything is different.

"Daddy... Mother......"

The girl suddenly had tears in her eyes, jumped off the cart, ran into the village, the streets were full of bones, and the houses around her flashed by, following the familiar village streets in these memories, and soon came to a ruin with only a few broken walls.

With trembling hands, he pushed open the courtyard door and walked in.

I closed my eyes and came to the hall of my memory, but it was already a place with roofs and walls. Clods of earth, bricks and tiles were piled up in piles of broken wooden piles, and the only thing that remained was a dusty chair.

The girl wiped it and sat down, and the two lines of tears immediately flowed uncontrollably.

This is her home, a home that carries countless memories.

Night.

The cold wind was wanton, waking up Hua Ying, who was asleep on the back of the chair, she shook her body, rubbed her eyes and stood up, when she saw the dilapidated scene around her, her heart was sad again.

Although the tears have long since dried up, the feeling of feeling sad and self-painful, and the mood will inevitably be lost again.

"Food shortage, plague, thief famine, why is it so difficult for people to live?"

Once she left home, goodbye was goodbye, Hua Ying couldn't help but sigh that the world was ruthless, in just one year, she experienced too much pain.

First lost the master, and then lost the family, such a blow, let alone a teenage girl, I am afraid that it will be difficult to accept someone else.

"From now on, what a home."

Hua Ying looked up at the endless starry sky above her head, and inadvertently remembered Master's words before her death, and couldn't help but show a miserable smile, "Master, in this world, there are no more relatives in the apprentice. ”

She didn't know how Master felt when she said this that day, I am afraid that it is the same as her own now.

However, if you talk about it now, only Yinger and Zhi'er are also two.

Just when Hua Ying was trapped in this grief and couldn't extricate herself, the words of the master that day suddenly sounded in her ears, as if someone was whispering, which made her feel excited.

"Senior Sister ......"

The figure of a beautiful girl came to mind, the woman who had been with her for several years, and she was meticulous, Hua Ying murmured, and suddenly woke up.

Yes, my sister is still waiting for herself. Go back, go back to Qingya Mountain, and stay by Master's side with Senior Sister forever.

"Father, mother, forgive the child for coming back late and not being able to see you for the last time."

As soon as she thought of this, Hua Ying took advantage of the moonlight, knelt heavily on the ground, kowtowed a few times in the direction of her parents and brother's room, and only got up after a long time, and then went to the scattered ruins inside to find some clothes for her parents and brothers.

Now that the bones could not be found, she prepared to make a mound for her family so that they could come back to worship in the future.

Solemnly packing up the clothes full of memories, she casually found a tool for digging the soil, and then prepared to go to the back mountain to find a place with good feng shui.

However, at this moment, there was an extremely loud howl from the direction of the entrance of the village.

Hua Ying frowned slightly, and said in her heart, didn't the livestock she brought was attacked by the beasts in the mountains?

With doubts in her heart, she put aside the matter of making a mound for the time being, and went to the entrance of the village first. Those animals are gifts for parents and villagers, and they can't be given to Huohuo by wild beasts.

Carrying a sword, however, as soon as she arrived at the entrance of the village, Hua Ying found that something was not quite right, and it was dark outside the village, as if there were a group of people standing, about forty or fifty, all on horseback.

"Hey, where did I think I came from, it turned out to be a human beast."

She couldn't help but secretly say bad luck in her heart, she was already in a depressed mood, and at this moment she bumped into this gang of horse thieves, and dared to touch her own goods, how could she let it go.

What's more, listening to the old steward of the car rental shop, this gang of horse thieves has been rampant and domineering in the ten miles and eight townships of Qingyang Town in the past year, and they have done all kinds of evil, and the officers and soldiers can't clean it up, maybe these people have also come to bully the villagers in Yangshan Village.

Thinking of this, Hua Ying is even more unforgiving.

A bunch of horse thieves at the entrance of the village were counting the goods on the donkey cart, and the leader instructed his men to move quickly, and did not forget to ask about it.

"Li Lao Liu, you will be considered a great merit to intercept such goods today, and you will be allowed to pick one of the things in it after you go back, and then the brothers will divide it."

The leader sat on his horse and laughed at a skinny monkey-like man in his thirties and forties, apparently very satisfied with the flying goods in front of him.

"The boss is mighty, the boss is wise, and I just happened to go out in the afternoon to inquire about the news when I saw a woman carrying three donkey carts alone, so I followed in curiosity. I never thought that the woman would come alone in this col where birds don't, hehe......."

Li Laoliu bowed his waist, smiled proudly, and said slowly.

The leader was astonished when he heard this, and asked, "You mean, you only saw a woman driving the car?" No one else in the car? ”

"I didn't see the second man, but the woman. I'm afraid that she won't dare to get too close when she notices, looking at that age, it doesn't seem to be very old, and I don't know how she dares, don't you know whose territory this Qingyang Town is? Li Lao Liu said truthfully.
