An Ordinary Path to Immortality
Chapter 11 A young man searches for his family alone, a hell on earth
When he came out of the village and reached the entrance, he saw an old man standing in the cold wind and looking at him.
Fang Ping's heart skipped a beat. After all, he was a young man. He had planned to appear and leave without leaving a trace, so that no one would find him, lest he be linked to the fire and murder at the Wang family, and then attract the attention of the government.
But he was still found out.
"Grandpa Village Chief!" Fang Ping walked over with a stiff upper scalp.
Since he was found out, it was meaningless to continue hiding.
At the same time, he felt extremely complicated and didn't know how to face the old village chief.
"Child, are you leaving?"
The old village chief didn't ask about the Wang family, and spoke as kindly as usual.
"Yes, I'm leaving."
"Where are you going? It's too dangerous for a child like you to go out."
"To Daliang State, to find my father." Fang Ping answered truthfully.
"Is your father from Daliang?" The old village chief was shocked at first, then he said with a look of sudden realization: "Oh, that's it!"
Since the mother and son went to Wangjiagou to seek refuge with relatives, Fang Ping's mother has never mentioned a word about her husband to anyone.
Now he finally understood that Fang Ping's father was actually from the enemy country.
Wangjiagou is located in the border area, only more than 200 miles away from Jianmen Pass, the first city on the border.
Jianmen Pass is located in the south and faces the north, and is the throat of the two countries.
Looking from the north gate, it is the territory of the enemy country Daliang.
Since the two countries established their countries, there have been years of war, no matter how big or small the battle is, there has never been a year of rest.
Jianmen Pass, which was the first to bear the brunt, has been breached by Daliang many times, and the surrounding villages and towns have suffered from war from time to time.
Even Wangjiagou, which is located in a remote area, has been visited by the Daliang army, burning, killing and looting.
The young and strong in the village have military experience, and many people died in the war between Zhou and Liang.
The hatred of the people of Wangjiagou for Liang State cannot be explained in just a few words.
If the villagers knew that Fang Ping was a descendant of Liang State, it would be difficult for them to stay in Wangjiagou.
"Well, be careful on the way to Daliang State. This is a pass to ensure that you can pass through Jianmen Pass without any obstacles. However, how to enter Daliang State depends on you."
The old village chief took out a blank pass and a brush, dipped his saliva in his mouth and wrote Fang Ping's name and hometown.
"Thank you, Grandpa Village Chief, I'm leaving." Fang Ping bowed to the old village chief.
"Go, I haven't seen you tonight, and you haven't seen me either. You and I don't know anything about Wang Yuanwai's family."
After that, the old village chief waved his hand to let Fang Ping leave.
Five days later, Fang Ping, carrying a bag full of bread and two water bottles, met a group of refugees on the official road leading to Jianmen Pass.
They dragged their families, dressed in rags, and hurried to the south.
The team was very long, and there were children crying from time to time.
Fang Ping didn't understand why, so he asked a few people, but no one was willing to pay attention.
In desperation, Fang Ping had to take out three breads and learn the whole story from an old man with two children.
It turned out that just a few days ago, the neighboring Liang State suddenly raised an army, with 150,000 troops, and the front line was directly pressed against Jianmen Pass.
At the same time, a large number of Liang State troops sneaked into the territory of Da Zhou from the mountain trails, burned, killed, looted, and penetrated into the territory of Da Zhou, forming a siege on Jianmen Pass.
The defenders of Jianmen Pass were attacked from both sides and could only temporarily close the gates, defend Jianmen Pass, and wait for reinforcements.
The Liang army generals who sneaked into Da Zhou obviously would not let the reinforcements of Da Zhou come so easily.
So he sent troops to wreak havoc in the Jianmen Pass area, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil, and threatened that if Jianmen Pass was not taken, 10,000 people of the Great Zhou would be killed every day.
At the same time, they also sent people to drive the people south, blocking the official road, and delaying the time for the Zhou army to provide support.
These refugees were basically the people in the Jianmen Pass area who left their homes and fled south after receiving the news.
They were just the ones who got the news faster and left earlier.
Behind them, there were more refugees heading south.
Hearing this, Fang Ping was worried and looked to the north, not knowing what to do.
However, God will not let down those who work hard. After learning Fang Ping's purpose, the old man asked for a few more cakes and copper coins and pointed Fang Ping to a hidden mountain road leading to Daliang.
So Fang Ping set out again, staying away from the official road where refugees gathered, and taking the mountain forest trails where few people went.
But even if he took the trail, he could still meet groups of refugees on the road.
They brought their families with them, and looked panicked. Some of them were covered in blood, and some were even wearing mourning clothes.
He also passed by a village and wanted to find some water to drink.
But the village was full of corpses, and there were bodies of people being hacked and killed everywhere, even the elderly and children were not spared.
If it were not the deep winter, these bodies that had been dead for who knows how long would have already rotted.
He also saw a small group of Liang soldiers stop refugees from robbing valuable supplies and food, and insulting women of the Great Zhou in public.
He did not show up to stop them. On the one hand, he had no confidence in his skills, and on the other hand, although he was kind-hearted, he also knew that it was better to have less trouble than more.
He also encountered a conflict between two groups of refugees, just to grab half a bag of white flour, but more than 20 people died on both sides.
Similarly, he was surrounded by a group of brutal refugees, who were ready to kill him for meat.
As a result, Fang Ping did not hold back. With his agility, he used the dagger he got from Wang Jizong to slash the necks of two people, providing two pieces of fresh meat for the group of refugees.
What he saw along the way was like hell on earth, subverting the boy's understanding of the world. 33 Novel Network
Let him deeply experience the suffering of mortals.
Sometimes the innocence and kindness of young people made him want to help these people.
But the various tragic situations he saw along the way made him extremely rational.
The more rational he was, the more he felt powerless, and he was eager to stop all this from happening one day.
Sometimes he wondered if the immortals in the sky had the ability to change the status quo.
"Even if immortals can't change it, at least immortals can stay away from it and don't have to suffer such hardships."
Finally, after hiding, walking and stopping, and walking more than a hundred miles for half a month, disguised as a refugee to ask around, he finally found the mountain road that the old man said.
In fact, he didn't need to disguise himself at all, because at this time he was ragged and dirty, and his body was thin. When he stood in the crowd, he looked like a refugee fleeing famine.
