avalanche

Walking down the mountain, the snow finally stopped.

There is a large valley field at the foot of the mountain, and there are men from Ma Village clearing snow on the valley field. The snow removal work of men from Ma Village has come to an end, and the officials are arranging for men from Ma Village to leave in an orderly way.

In addition to the two officials, there were thirty Qin soldiers riding on the scene.

Because it is to shovel snow for the official road, there are many people, order needs to be maintained, safety needs to be paid attention to, and there are definitely not enough officials.

The cavalry didn't care much about these ordinary laborers, they just rode big horses to see the overall situation.

The official came over and asked Dachun to register his name. He took the name book provided by Dachun and checked it with the name book registered by the government one by one, and then began to roll the names to determine whether there were any missing men from Yangcun.

After all the men from Ma Village had left, the Xunshi cavalry turned around one after another and came to look at the situation on the side of the men from Yangcun.

Everyone couldn't look up at the cavalry's face, they could only look at the cavalry at the same level, and they could hear the rough sound of "puff--" from the horse's nose.

The horses kept moving, and the cavalry circled around the Yangcun tribe in a more casual manner.

The official took the roll and handed the list to an infantryman, who took it and handed it to the chief cavalry.

The first rider glanced at the roster casually, and then casually sized up the group of people. Suddenly, his eyes widened and he was attracted by one person.

Xue Fu immediately sensed the strangeness, and looked up at him, and the two of them stared at each other, and they both froze.

He waved lightly, and another cavalryman came over, and the two exchanged words.

After the first rider gave his orders, he beat his horse and left. The valley field is very big.

Snow stopped.

Ma Cun had just shoveled away the snow in the valley field, and he could see the horse riding the head on the flat and hard ground, circling in the valley field.

The cavalryman who was talking to the head of the cavalry walked up to the official, got off his horse, and asked a few words in the official's ear.

The official was startled, shook his head, and ran towards Dachun.

"Hey, I'm talking about the Patriarch of the Empress Xia Yang Clan, who is this person behind you? Look at the face?"

asked the official.

Dachun glanced at Xuefu, and said: "He is my slave, he has just been enslaved, Lord Youzhi knows about this, please trouble the official."

The official agreed, and ran to tell the cavalry. After hearing this, the cavalry got on the horse, beat the horse and ran to the valley field, approaching the head of the cavalry, and the two talked a few words.

The first rider raised his eyes to look at Dachun, and ordered something.

I saw the cavalry rode over to exchange a few words with the cavalry, and the cavalry lined up, all staring at the people in Yangcun.

Everyone knows that there must be a difference, and they are all waiting and watching.

The cavalry set up their positions, and then came to the positions where Dachun and Xuefu were standing.

Dachun's heart was pounding, why did the official come to ask Brother Xue who it was?Obviously, the officials had already named Brother Xue on the slave roll when they called the roll, so why did they ask Brother Xue again?

What made Dachun even more terrified was the first rider in the valley field. It seemed that it was possible that the first rider saw Xuedi first, and then gave the next order.

When Dachun saw the cavalryman walking towards him and Brother Xue, cold sweat broke out on his back.

Since the government dismissed the case, he always thought that brother Xue was fine, and the case of the slave donkey's skeleton was closed, so he felt relieved.

Da Chun thought that if Brother Xue's identity was recognized, he would not dare to think about the consequences.

The cavalry stopped in front of Xuefu, and a condescending voice came: "You, follow me."

Xuefu had already seen the first rider in the valley field.

When the surrendered rider stared at him, he had sensed something was wrong, and when he raised his head to look at the first rider, he was also stunned, but he was standing behind Dachun, except for the rider who saw his eyes, No one noticed his expression.

Under the guidance of the cavalry, Xue Fu stiffly raised his foot and followed the cavalry into the valley.

The first rider watched everything quietly, keeping calm from beginning to end.

When Xue Fu approached, the two were separated by a foot, the first cavalry waved his hand, and the cavalry retreated.

"I can guess that you are not dead yet. I have seen that skeleton. It is a donkey, not a horse." This was the first sentence that the first rider said.

Shav said nothing.

The first rider nodded to himself and said: "It turns out that you have been hiding in Weishan for more than a year, and you have become a slave?"

Schiff didn't look sideways.

"You stole the war horse, I will punish you with eighty lashes, is it acceptable?"

Xue Fu thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Submit..."

The first rider stopped talking, raised his hand and started whipping his whip.

The cavalry are all equipped with long whips, which have barbs, which can lift the flesh when they are drawn on the body.

Schiff kept his head up and his chest straight and looked ahead, trying his best to keep his body stable, although his footwork had loosened.

When the long whip fell, it made a huge crackling sound, and the sound echoed in the mountains, and the expressions of everyone present changed when they heard it.

Every time he whipped a whip, Dachun had to remember the number in his heart. He didn't know what Shouqi had said to Xuedi. It seemed that he had confirmed Xuedi's identity as a deserter. Was it necessary to execute the punishment first and then kill him?

Thinking of this, Da Chun's heart trembled.

When the No.30 whip was drawn, Xuefu was already unable to stand still, unable to maintain his figure, and fell down by the rolled-up whip bullets. As the whip whipped, he began to roll on the ground, whipping non-stop, and the luggage on Xuefu's back was also whipped Scattered, quilts, new shoes, scattered all over the place.

Dachun was so anxious that he was going crazy. He saw many holes in the thick coat worn by Brother Xue, and the cotton in the thick coat was flying.

When he counted the whips, he couldn't stand it any longer, thinking about dying.

"Stop...don't hit..." Da Chun shouted and rushed out.

At the moment, he can't care about the death penalty of contradicting the chief rider, at worst, he will die with Brother Xue.

The cavalry waiting at the side moved like lightning, and threw out a long whip. Da Chun just rushed forward, not knowing that there was a long whip behind him, and was knocked to the ground by the whip.

Two infantrymen rushed up, tied up Dachun, and handed the binding rope to the cavalryman who had whipped him.

Dachun didn't care about it and shouted at the first rider in the valley field: "Let him go...don't hit him...you will kill him..."

The sky was covered with silver, and Xuedi's face could not be seen clearly, only the first rider was waving his whip non-stop.

After falling to the ground, Xuefu lost his balance, allowing his body to continue rolling with the whip.

The long whip pierced the silence with a loud crackling sound.

The cavalry dragged Da Chun to the edge of the valley, and Da Chun fell to the ground and was dragged away by the cavalry.

The people of the Yang clan were frightened to death.

Dachun kept talking, and was still yelling: "Stop, stop beating..."

He felt that Brother Xue was going to die, but he suddenly realized that Brother Xue was begging to die, he was begging to die!

Thinking of this, Da Chunyou seemed to have fallen into the abyss of thousands of battles, and his whole body was so cold that he was unconscious.

The cavalry were unmoved, and they had no sense in the face of life and death.

If it was said that the clansmen were terrified when they saw Xuefu being whipped, at this moment Dachun provoked Lord Shouqi to make them feel extremely terrified.

After all, Xue Fu was a foreigner, or a slave, and was beaten to death, which had nothing to do with them.

But Dachun is the patriarch, and if the patriarch below commits crimes, they will definitely be implicated. The thought of gathering them in the field and being whipped together later, some people can't bear it.

The person at the end of the line turns around and starts running...

The penultimate person found out, hesitated for a moment, then turned around and ran away...

A cavalryman was the first to notice something was wrong, and with a yell, he rode his horse and chased after him.

Any change in the valley field will affect the whole body.

Master Shouqi turned his head and looked at the two people who were desperately fleeing, he didn't say a word, didn't move, and didn't give any orders, which was already the highest order.

The cavalry dragging the big toon also stopped.

Just as Da Chun stood upright, seeing all this, he knew how serious the consequences would be, so he mocked the two figures from behind and shouted loudly: "Don't run, stop..."

Those who were originally running away were cowardly, but now they stopped when they heard the patriarch's shout, and wanted to look back at the situation, but it was too late.

The cavalry who followed closely swung their long knives, and the two of them felt their necks go cold, and their heads were already in different places.

This is not an indiscriminate killing, the Qin law is strict, and those who escaped from the army will be executed on the spot, and in severe cases, their families will be harmed.

The rest of the men started to panic and were surrounded by cavalry, so they all knelt down to serve them.

Dachun thought to himself, it's over now.

……

After the eighty lashes were drawn, the first rider sat quietly on the horseback, looking at Xuefu lying on the ground.

Xue Fu slowed down and got up from the ground. He was about to wipe off the dirt on his face with his hand when he suddenly saw several blood marks on the back of his hand. The blood beads had already seeped out along the whip marks, and it seemed that more and more seeped.

He stuck out his tongue and slowly licked towards the wound, it was so sweet in his throat.

This smell seemed to wake up his sleeping memory, and he heard the sound of killing again, someone calling for help, someone shouting to kill, and weapons fighting together.

The taste of this mouthful of blood inspired his bloodiness, his bottomless eyes turned to the sky, he was originally a cold-blooded warrior, and he was used to living with blood for a long time.

He looked up and saw that Yang Dachun was tied up by the cavalry and standing in the distance by the side of the valley field in front of him.

He looked back again, and at the side of the valley, there were all the men of the Yang clan. Because of the beheading of two fugitives, they were all punished to kneel down and serve their orders.

Shouqi said indifferently: "Ignorant child, he will only run away when things happen. You know, the case of the five doctors withholding military rations privately and adding gravel to the military rations has been exposed by others, and the five doctors and his subordinates are all punished. The case is closed, and you have been cleared of your injustice."

His whole body trembled, and he shuddered, all of them subdued?Redress the injustice?

The first rider said again: "Your military registration has been cancelled. If you come with me, I can rebuild your military registration for you."

He didn't say a word, just stared at the oozing blood on the back of his hand, and went to suck the new blood.

It seems to have seen a night a year ago, when he said to someone: I seldom speak, and I don’t have any happy things in my memory that I laughed happily.

The past is like a flash, and the experience of more than a year is played back in my mind like lightning.

With blood in his stomach, his soul revived, as if he was reborn from the ashes, returning from Nirvana.

In the middle of the valley field, the first rider watched him quietly, waiting patiently.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then opened his eyes like torches.

"I can go with you, but there is one condition."

First ride: "Say!"

"The whole family of Xia Houyang in Xishan Mountain has 510 eight mouths, and the village was wiped out, leaving no one alive."

Shouqi looked at the members of the Xiahouyang clan who were kneeling on the ground, looked up at the village houses built along the mountain, and then glanced back at the tied patriarch Yang Dachun.

"Give me a reason to slaughter the village." The first rider asked.

His eyes were extremely cold: "If you want to add a crime, there is no reason to worry."

The first rider looked at him for a while, then suddenly burst out laughing, and while laughing, he slapped the saber on his waist, the laughter was full of vigor, and spread throughout the valley.

Everyone didn't understand what the conversation was like, what topic they talked about made Shouqi laugh like this, was this a good joke?

"Okay!!!" The first rider stopped laughing and said seriously: "I will give you twenty riders to help you search the village, as for how to kill..."

He said, "I will do it myself."

The first rider made a gesture, and a cavalryman came over. The man took the order, dismounted and began to take off his armor and combat clothes and military boots.

Da Chun saw Brother Xue swiftly take off the thick clothes that had been beaten to pieces with whips, put on the battle clothes and helmet, took the saber handed by the cavalry, and got on the horse.

Twenty Qin soldiers on horseback followed behind him, and the group marched mightily up the mountain path.

Everyone wondered what happened?Are you going to search the village?This kind of formation should be to search the village, but they didn't do anything wrong, so what is there to search for?

Twenty cavalry knocked on the doors of each house, and the left-behind villagers saw that it was Qin Bing, and they all walked out of the house consciously, and gathered on the dam at the head of the village.

The cavalry is well-trained, and all the people have been searched out in a short time.

Yang Ding and a group of uncles finally came out of the ancestral house, and they were all surprised when they saw that the first Qin soldier was actually Xue Fu.

"Hey, Shav, you are..."

Just as Yang Ding asked, but before he finished speaking, his saber pierced the sky, his neck felt cold, and his head was already in a different place.

The uncles were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

The first rider has no fear on his face, he has already beheaded these people in a short time.

The cavalry behind dismounted and picked up the head into a black sack.

The people gathered at the head of the village did not see clearly who the first rider was. They had all been beheaded. No one called for help, no one cried. Life and death were only a moment, and they died immediately.

After about two incense sticks, although the time was not long, the kneeling people felt that their knees were frozen and numb, and they didn't feel anything.

Dachun saw Brother Xue as the leader, and the following cavalry troop descended from the mountain trail with twenty cavalry. The horse that was tied at the end was the jujube horse in the barn of Yang Shisan's family. This horse was exactly when Brother Xue entered the village last year. The horse I rode.

Dachun saw that brother Xue's sword was covered with blood, could it be?impossible?No way……

When the twenty knights approached, they could clearly see that the black sack was bulging.

Dachun once heard from his uncles who retired from the army that Qin soldiers had black sacks, and every time they went out to battle, the sacks were filled with trophies, which were full of enemy heads. The number of heads was counted to determine what kind of military exploits to make. .

Those black sacks are bulging, what's inside?

Da Chun didn't dare to think about it.

The black sacks were thrown onto the grain field, and the cavalry dismounted and began to count the numbers.

Dachun only took a few glances, and his face was ashen. Frost, the heads were picked out from the sacks, and they were all clansmen.

The man with the bloody saber did not take part in the counting, but rode his horse and walked towards the members of the Yang clan who were kneeling on the ground.

Someone was so frightened that his face was ashen and trembling constantly. Yang Shiliu tried to move his stiff knee to stand up, but was whipped accurately by the cavalry beside him, and then knelt down again.

"You... you... why did you kill us..." A member of the tribe bravely said the last sentence in a trembling voice: "I, I have never been to the deer house..." The answer to him was to chop off...

No one dared to speak out anymore, and all the men kneeling on the ground were beheaded.

The cavalrymen who had finished counting came to report: "Including the two who escaped and were beheaded just now, members of the Houyang clan of Xishan Xia, a total of 510 seven heads."

At the same time, some cavalry told this number to the first cavalry master who had been standing in the field waiting for news.

The first rider asked the man carrying the saber: "You said there were eight people in 510; there was one left, did you escape?"

He raised his chin slightly, pointed at Yang Dachun who was tied to the side of the valley, and said indifferently, "I can't run away."

Da Chun's face was pale.

The birdcage behind it started to stop. Mynah seemed to be aware of the danger, flapping its wings violently and screaming.

Mynah's cry was rapid, as if he was in a dying struggle at a critical moment.

Everyone was attracted by this Mynah, and it was the first time they heard such a cry, and they seemed to be distraught.

Dachun was stunned, after all, it was the first time he heard the bird's cries in such a hurry.

This is... lamentation...

Da Chun looked at the divine bird, and for the first time in his life, he saw the divine bird cry in person.

Lord Shouqi waved his hand lightly, signaling to untie!

The cavalry untied the rope for Dachun...

He saw Brother Xue walking towards him slowly on horseback, and he saw that Brother Xue's long knife was still covered with blood.

The man walked up to him and looked down at him, his eyes were as deep as a bottomless black hole.

"Xue, it's just my nickname. I haven't told you my name yet. Listen carefully, my first name is my first name, and my surname is Baiqi. I'm just like you, a descendant of a descendant of a noble family. I entered you to avoid disaster. Xia Houyang clan of Xishan, you see that I am weak and humiliate me in every possible way, is it wrong for me to destroy your entire clan today?"

Da Chun only felt a little wet on his cheeks, and when he touched it, it turned out to be tears.

Bai Qi pointed to Gu Chang's head and said, "Do you know how they died? You only need to call Xia Hou Yang to come out. Your clansmen will come out obediently, dragging the family and children, supporting the old and the young." They line up and wait to die. If a dog is killed, it will bark twice, but they will not say a word, killing pigs and dogs is not as good as killing them."

Dachun wept with a "wow", covering his face and weeping bitterly.

Bai Qi looked at the solidified blood on the saber: "I hated war and killing people before, and wanted to find a paradise to spend my remaining life. It's ridiculous. There is no otherworldly place in the secular world, which is not bound by strict laws. Only Bottomless darkness."

Dachun burst into tears: "Let me follow you! Be a cow, a horse, a pig or a dog. You can sell me to the Xianyang Men's Hall, and you can come here once in a while."

Bai Qi made a cold decision: "The fate of this life is over, you can do it yourself! For the sake of you standing up when I was whipped just now, I will leave your whole body, and you will become a cow, sheep, pig and dog in the next life." Stay with me."

"What about you? I can't let go, I can't let go..." When Dachun said this, he couldn't stop crying.

Bai Qishen's eyes focused, and he looked into the distance: "Me? I will consummate the house with the Yin family, have a full house of descendants, and worship the generals. But you, you can't see that day anymore. , is also impossible.”

As soon as the words fell, there was a loud bang, and everyone in the valley looked up at the mountain.

Avalanche!

A huge avalanche broke out on the top of the mountain.

As the avalanche passed, houses were destroyed and buried like origami toys.

Dachun had never seen such a big avalanche, and all the houses in the village built on the mountain were buried by the avalanche.

The cavalry is well-trained, and they immediately mounted their horses and galloped.

In an instant, the entire village repaired by members of the Xiahou Yang clan was buried. The village was built more than 80 years ago, and all the houses were buried in an instant.

The cavalry only ran a few tens of feet away, the rumbling sound passed, and in a very short time, the avalanche had reached the valley field.

The clan heads piled up on the valley field were also buried.

Bai Qi held back the roaring horse, and used hand gestures to calm the horse's emotions. The horse had seen big scenes before, so it roared twice before calming down.

Da Chun was buried up to his chest by the snow.

The snow has stopped!

"When an avalanche comes, no snowflake is innocent." He looked down at Yang Dachun, who was half buried.

Dachun deeply regretted that the avalanche was in front of him, and neither of them moved a single step. If the avalanche was bigger, it would be great to bury them together.

Bai Qi led the horse and stepped out from the chest-thick snow layer, looking at the vast expanse of whiteness behind him.

The whole village is gone.

Yang Dachun knew that destiny was irreversible, but he did not give up: "You... have you ever... liked me..."

Bai Qi was silent for a while.

"I told you, it's not terrible to get used to the darkness, what's terrible is defending the darkness." Bai Qi said indifferently: "Since you were a lobbyist for Yang C, we have never been able to. When Yang Sixteen gathered people to treat me like that , I have made up my mind to escape, even if I die in battle in a horse leather shroud, I don’t want to stay in the summer and die like a maggot.”

After finishing speaking, Bai Qi stopped talking, the last gaze of the two was actually waiting for Yang Dachun to kill himself.

Knowing that this life is over, Yang Dachun stretched out his hand and pulled out the black iron hairpin from his hair, and stabbed violently in his chest, blood spurted out, and he drank it all in one gulp, without dragging his feet.

"Brother Xue... After I die, you leave the black iron hairpin as a backup for self-defense. There is my blood on the hairpin. I swear by my blood that you will be victorious in all battles and never lose...never die at the hands of the enemy." ...Sacred bird, you dedicate it to the King of Qin...I...cough...the only thing I can do is this..."

Bai Qi swung his saber and cut the birdcage in half with one blow. The divine bird was beheaded and killed.

Yang Dachun was almost breathless, his whole body convulsed, and it was difficult to speak.

Bai Qi said: "I'll keep the hairpin. This divine bird is your wife. A strong woman is not a second husband. Let your husband and wife go to hell together."

Tsubaki's eyes were fascinated.

He seemed to see a man in white clothes standing in front of the jujube horse. The man in white smiled slightly, cupped his fists and said modestly to him, "Big Chun? A thousand years is autumn."

Dachun shouted with the last strength in his body: "I...I am not willing...I will follow you for the rest of my life...I will wait for you on the road to Huangquan...In the next life...I will never let you down in the next life..."

Bai Qi said: "Don't wait, there is no spring and white snow in the world, and there will be no goodbye in heaven and earth..."

After the avalanche, the sun shone on the mountain, and as far as the eye could see, it was pure white.

Yang Dachun lost all five senses and died at the age of 24.

……

Bai Qi held the blood-stained black iron hairpin in his hand, inserted it into his hair, and walked towards the sun. A group of cavalry was tens of feet away in front of him.

The first rider was the jujube horse that was given to him.

Bai Qi returned the horse to the cavalryman, and got on the jujube horse himself.

Only a series of footprints are left behind.

The footprints will be covered by the next snow.

Bai Qi said: "Father, I have learned a lot in the past year, and I will not be arrogant when I go back this time."

Shouqi smiled and said: "My son is more mature. My Bai clan is only loyal to His Majesty the King of Qin, and my son will definitely make some contributions to our great Qin Kingdom's eternal dominance..."

***End of the full text***

Thank you guys for coming here...

To sum up the story line of "Avalanche"...

Yangchun Baixue met for the first time, and they have similar views, both are close to Confucianism, and believe that human nature is inherently good;

Everyone in Yangcun came out one by one, and they were all kind at first; when they knew that evil deeds would not be punished, or for their own self-interest, evil overcame good.

After Bai Qi was humiliated, he abandoned Confucianism and approached Legalism, believing that human nature is inherently evil; Chun still firmly believes that Confucianism is inherently good; their views diverge.

The deed of selling one's body is a watershed in the road. Chun's obsession with "Yangchun Baixue" is disintegrated, and Bai Qi is forced into a rage; he can't figure out why Bai Qi is willing to sleep with all men, but he is not willing to sleep with him.

It is no longer possible for the two to talk on an equal footing; the evil has become too big to be controlled, and Chun began to bully Bai Qi at will as the master.

The king of Qin opened a warehouse and distributed emergency food, which made Chun realize that they are no different. Under the imperial power, they are both poor people...

Love, let him decide to start over.

Forced labor interrupted the last time of the two, and Chun led the whole clan of men to go to force labor.

The first rider of the Qin army is Bai Qi's father, and he revealed that the desertion case has been cleared.

Bai Qi agreed to go back, on condition that he slaughtered the village.

When an avalanche strikes, no snowflake is innocent.

Bai Qi led the cavalry into Yangcun, and the entire Yang clan of Empress Xia was wiped out;

The fate of the two of them is over in this life, Chun commits suicide and dies.

Confucianism preaches that human nature is inherently good; Legalism believes that human nature is inherently evil.

Since the Emperor Han only respected Confucianism, the era when King Qin pursued the supremacy of Legalism has declined.

Is it good or evil? "Shang Junshu" is the first evil book?Still the best book?No comments here; dear friends have their own opinions.

……

There is also a postscript, I need to explain it, and I will update it later, thank you for reading, love you, yaoyada...
