Xianmen does not ask about the mundane

The sky tonight is extraordinarily bright, and a full moon hangs high in the sky, as if it wants to illuminate all the filth in the world.

During the national mourning period, the usually bustling streets were deserted early on. It was originally dead silent, but under the moonlight, it added a sense of tranquility.

It's a pity that under the moonlight, a circle of fully armed soldiers with cold expressions surrounded the Imperial Teacher's Mansion neatly, cutting off the quiet street with a knife.

However, outside the mansion is such a scene of swords and swords being tense, but inside the mansion is peaceful and peaceful, even a little quiet.

You Huan and Qiu Huijun were sitting opposite each other in front of the tea table, and You Huan was concentrating on playing with the tea set in front of him with his head down.

In front of Qiu Huijun, he didn't always frown slightly with a little self-imposed seriousness like in front of others, and his eyes were as sharp as sharp knives. On the contrary, he was more like someone who was always worried about his younger siblings. Stern but gentle brother.

Qiu Huijun watched him fiddling silently without saying a word, and after a while, a cup of freshly brewed tea was placed in front of him.

"How long has it been since the two of us sat drinking tea together like this? Five years? Seven years?"

You Huan was the first to break the silence and asked, and then, without waiting for anyone to answer, he laughed at himself, but also without any emotion, and then said: "It's been too long, I can't even remember."

Qiu Huijun stared at the steaming tea cup in front of him with a sinking face, and said calmly: "You and I have different political views, so it's natural to avoid suspicion."

"Really." You Huan ignored the thorns in his words, saw him looking down at the teacup in front of him, and said with a lonely expression, "I remember you used to drink this Dahongpao the most."

Qiu Huijun said: "I used to drink because you always liked to drink, but now I'm the only one left, so naturally I don't like to drink."

You Huan was silent for a moment, and then said with emotion: "Yes, indeed, there is only one person left, and you haven't called me 'big brother' for many years. I didn't expect that even Hui Jun is estranged from me. "

As he spoke, he took a sip of the hot tea in front of him and asked, "Do you still remember how we came to Fu'an?"

Both Qiu Huijun and You Huan were from the old Nanyue Kingdom and Kangcheng.

The two lived on the same street and grew up together, so good enough to wear the same pair of pants.You Huan is only slightly less than half a year older than Qiu Huijun, but his personality has always been straightforward, decisive, and bold in his actions. At such a young age, he has the posture of an adult, and he often comes forward to solve some difficult problems that children see Therefore, Qiu Huijun has always admired him, and never hesitated to respectfully call him "big brother" with other friends.

The year when the Beiyan army invaded the border, the two were less than ten years old, and they were the most playful age. The day before Wu Lie led the army to attack the city, the two happened to go to the mountains outside the city to play together. When it rained heavily, he was forced to spend the night on the mountain.

At that time, the two innocent children were still worried about whether they would be scolded by their parents when they went back. After the heavy rain stopped the next day, they ran down the mountain non-stop and returned to the city. How did they expect that what was waiting for them was neither their parents looking for The voices of shouting and cursing were not the figures of neighbors watching the fun, but the real purgatory on earth.

In a huge city, looking around, there are only flesh and blood stumps everywhere. The corners where I used to jump up and down with my friends are stained with a disgusting scarlet, and the original color cannot be seen. Among the mountains of corpses and the sea of ​​blood, no familiar faces could be recognized.

"I remember that before you could cry, you knelt on the ground and vomited. As a result, your hands were covered with blood on the ground, and you were so scared that you almost fell into a pool of blood, crying and screaming there. , I almost thought you would go crazy." You Huan recalled, "By the way, what was I doing at that time."

Qiu Huijun had no intention of telling him these things, but after listening to his description as a bystander, he unconsciously substituted it into his memory, recalling the scene at that time and said: "You are running around in the city, I hope you can Found a living person, but there is no survivor in the whole city except us."

The two furry kids who were just going out for a night of fun and didn't come home lost everything overnight.

"Yeah, I remembered. There are scattered corpses everywhere on the streets of the city. When you run, you will trip over someone's arm, and you will be covered in blood when you fall to the ground. I want to go home and have a look, but I dare not, I am afraid that they died in such a miserable state that even I could not recognize myself, so I kept running around the city until I couldn't run anymore and was paralyzed in a pool of blood. I almost thought that I was dead like them .”

Obviously it was something that he had personally experienced, but You Huan's tone was so flat that he was more like a bystander.

"From then on, I swore that I must take revenge and take back everything I lost."

When people face sudden and unbearable major changes, they usually have two reactions. The first is to immediately enter a hysterical state and vent their inner fear by crying continuously. Accept the reality calmly and quickly, but in the future life will often be recalled because of some tiny things, and then the hatred in the heart will be infinitely magnified by the backlog of emotions, and You Huan obviously belongs to the latter.

After the two experienced extreme despair and pain in the deserted city, they burst out with an unprecedented strong desire to survive. They no longer felt afraid, and began to live on the things they picked up from the pile of corpses.

They knew there was no hope of staying in Hekang, so they left with the food they collected from an old man's house.They didn't know where to go, they only knew that there used to be their family and their home in the south, but the north was the home of the person who made them lose their home, so they went south with a dull head.

It's a pity that they didn't know that the further south they went, the more intense the war, and there were so many homeless people like them who were persecuted by the war.As soon as the two arrived at the place where there was smoke, they were robbed of all the food on their bodies by other refugees.

It is not easy for two half-grown children under the age of ten to survive in this troubled world, how can they fight against those adults who are already hungry.Just when the two were about to fall into despair, they met the person who changed their lives - Chun Yushuo.

Chun Yushuo has always been kind to the people and loved things. He originally opposed this war, but after hearing about the massacre of the city, he felt even more unbearable. Therefore, wherever he went, he would try his best to help the innocent people who were implicated because of the war.

However, there are too many refugees, and there is no way to rescue them one by one until the war is over. There are devastated places everywhere along the way. Chunyu Shuo is already a little numb. Seeing that these two people are too young to help each other, he doesn't want to hear that they actually They were people from Hekang City, so they kept them by their side out of guilt.

At first, the two of them didn't know his identity, and they followed him gratefully as if grabbing a life-saving straw. But it didn't take long for them to discover to their astonishment that what they had been receiving all along had been charity from their enemies.
