Zhongzhou, Wanli Dongting Lake, due to the season, the boundless reeds are as blue as the sea, and it seems that the color of the lake is close to each other.

The first floor by the lake stands through the ages.

Throughout the year, Yueyang Tower is never short of tourists. Today, under turmoil and war, Dongting Lake is a holy place, and for thousands of years, it has never suffered from the scourge of war. For many, this place is the best place of refuge.

As a result, thousands of people came with their families and mouths. They have set up temporary houses on the shore of the lake, or outside the town, and have taken up their homes.

Thatched huts have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, overcrowded, crowded and noisy.

No matter when or where, as long as there are too many people, there will be problems.

With so many people huddled together, friction and contradictions inevitably arise for the sake of residence and trivial matters in life.

When the quarrel does not solve the problem and the conflict escalates, they will move and speak with their fists.

At the beginning, the people were quite restrained, after all, they had a sense of awe for Dongting Lake. But when the contradictions accumulate too much, after a long time, everything will be forgotten.

The people who take refuge in Dongting Lake are diverse, including rich people, poor people, people of various professions, and thieves and gangsters.

How can we get along well if we are mixed and there is no stable order to maintain?

Coupled with the inhabitants of the original place, they are certainly simple by nature, but suddenly such a large group of strangers came running, noisy and noisy, and it was not pleasant to change anyone.

Then, the main food problem broke out.

When a person is hungry to a certain extent, he will become a demon.

For thousands of people, the daily consumption of food is extremely staggering. The source of water is convenient, Dongting Lake is vast, the water source is inexhaustible, and the key is to eat.

As the saying goes: rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water. There are mountains and rivers in the Dongting Lake area, and this large group of people has eaten up the dry food they carried, so they can only fight the idea of this landscape.

So, I went up to the mountains to hunt and went down to the lake to fish.

However, to do this, you need to have certain skills and tools, and you can only drink the northwest wind empty-handed.

Originally, the residents of Dongting Lake fished with customs. First of all, you have to choose a day, not every day, and then you have to worship, and then you have to cast a net.

Now it is good that the strangers who flock here are like robbers, not only cutting down trees at will, but also hunting and killing everywhere. In a short period of time, the place with beautiful mountains and rivers has been ruined.

"This is a great disrespect to the Dragon Monarch!"

Seeing this, an elderly resident shouted angrily.

"If you anger the Dragon Monarch and blame it, what should I do?"

Many people ran to the lake and wept bitterly, asking Lord Longjun for forgiveness.

However, the lake is rippling, and there is nothing unusual. In this way, people who were still apprehensive became even more unscrupulous, for whom they had to live first and then talk about faith.

Dragon Jun is just a legend.

After so many years, who has really seen it?

The lake is sound, and the pavilion is silent.

I don't know who took the lead, some refugees who really couldn't find a place simply ran to Yueyang Tower and lived directly in ready-made ones, I don't know how much better than those simple huts.

Some people live in it, and they are safe, but when others see it, they suddenly feel unbalanced, and they want to move in.

Although Yueyang Tower is magnificent, it is just a pavilion, how many people can it hold?

There were many people in disputes, making trouble, and even fighting each other, and blood was splashed on the floor and walls, which was shocking.

Strife happens every day, and crowds come and go. It's just that no one noticed that upstairs in Yueyang, a hunchbacked old man suddenly appeared.

The old man was not known how old he was, and his face was old, and all of them were cracked, like the mottled bark of a weathered tree.

He appeared upstairs, his eyes coldly sweeping the crowd all over the building, without saying a word. The strange thing is that other people don't see his existence at all.

"How many years......"

The old man sighed faintly: "Why did you become like this?"

As he spoke, he raised his head and looked.

The direction he was looking at was the far north, but his gaze seemed to have some kind of inexplicable magic, penetrating thousands of miles.

Swish!

In sight, a thick cloud appeared. The color is so bewitching that eye contact with it is immediately repulsed.

The old man only felt that his pupils were pierced by a sharp weapon, and he was faintly surprised, so he quickly closed his eyelids, his face changed slightly, and he muttered in his mouth: "Tribulation, really calamity." ”

After a pause, he sighed again: "It's going to change the sky......

He staggered, turned away, and disappeared into the crowd.

Not long after the old man left, a master and a servant came to the downstairs of Yueyang.

Seeing the noisy Yueyang Tower, which was as noisy as the market, the boy's eyes widened, his face was full of disbelief, and he stumbled and said: "How did you become like this when you revisit the old place? ”

"What did you say, no kid?"

A black man who lived in Yueyang Tower heard it and immediately shouted.

The servant hurriedly guarded the son, and said in a deep voice, "What are you doing?"

When the black man saw that he was quite burly and seemed to know martial arts, he snorted twice and stopped paying attention to it.

The boy sighed, "Ah Feng, what should we do next?"

Ah Feng scratched his head, his eyes showing a blank look: "Childe, I don't know." ”

This master and servant are none other than Ye Rongtong from Yangzhou and his son and bodyguard A Feng. Ye Rongtong is a well-known talent in Yangzhou, and he won the second place in the township examination that year, and he was inferior to Chen Sanlang, and then went to Beijing with Chen Sanlang to participate in the examination, and he was also a high school jinshi. After returning to Yangzhou, he became an official in the local area, not big, civilian, and better than idle.

It's just that the days of freedom didn't last long, Shi Pojun rebelled, and then Yuan Wenchang also rebelled.

Ye Rongtong's father was an old-school Confucian student, and he couldn't see the things of the rebels and thieves, so he was angry to death. Ye Rongtong was unwilling to help Yuan Wenchang do things, so he tried every means to escape. There were many ups and downs along the way, and I read all the warmth and coldness of people, but fortunately, Ah Feng knew martial arts, so he was able to keep it thorough.

It's just that the world is so big that there is nowhere to stay.

After thinking about it, Ye Rongtong thought of Dongting Lake, and felt that it must be clean there, so he could come and live in a house and be a hermit who escaped the world.

Where did I think that I had gone through a lot of hardships to get to the ground, and when I opened my eyes, I saw that this place was no longer the Dongting Lake of the past.

Ye Rongtong was disappointed and sad, and felt even more confused. The coils they were carrying had long since been exhausted, and there was not much dry food left, so they couldn't go anywhere else.

How to survive has become an urgent matter.

"Live?"

Ye Rongtong thought blankly, and couldn't help but feel sad: "I might as well jump into the lake and die......

For a while, I was sad and sentimental, and I couldn't help crying.
