Xianyu asked

Chapter 40
The setting sun dyes the mountains.

Near the continuous thousands of mountains, on a winding mud path, three donkey carts full of goods and livestock came from a distance.

The donkey carts were connected in a row, slowly moving forward in the mud, with constant potholes, and within a short distance, the tightly bundled goods on the carts were shaken skewed, and the animals were mourning and howling.

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 and vomiting.

Dragging such a group of animals, the three donkeys pulling the cart were so tired that their mouths were parched and they panted like donkeys.

There was only one person accompanying them, sitting on the cart in front of their heads, holding a donkey whip in his hand, and staring at the mountains in the distance, with no sadness or joy on his face, as if there was nothing beside him.

Slowly, the donkey cart drove into a mountain depression, and walking forward, it was the only mountain with a name nearby, Yangshan.

At the foot of Yangshan Mountain, there is a village named Yangshan Village. There are dozens of families in the village who have been farming and working here for several generations.

But now, this Yangshan Village is no longer as peaceful as it used to be.

When it was less than a mile away from the village, a wave suddenly appeared in the eyes of the girl sitting on the donkey cart, Gu Jingbubo.

She stood up, looked far away, and saw the dilapidated, almost disintegrated barren scene at the entrance of the village.

When did my hometown become like this.

The children who used to gather at the entrance of the village to play, the adults who came back from farming to chat, the peddlers who came and went to sell goods, and those who were vaguely visible in the memory, stood at the entrance of the village when they left home and bid farewell to their parents with tears in their eyes.

Everything is gone, desolation, ruins, overgrown weeds, earth houses blown down by wind and rain, everything is different.

"Mom and Dad."

The girl suddenly had tears in her eyes, jumped off the cart, and rushed into the village. There were bones on both sides of the street, and the houses around her flashed by. Following these very familiar village streets in her memory, she soon came to a There are only a few ruins with broken walls and ruins.

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

I closed my eyes and came to the main room in my memory, but there were already roofs and walls here.The clods, bricks and tiles were mixed with broken wooden piles into several piles, and the only thing left was a chair covered in dust.

The girl wiped it and sat on it. Two lines of tears immediately flowed down uncontrollably.

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

into the night.

The cold wind was reckless, waking Huaying who was sleeping on the back of the chair. She shook her body, rubbed her eyes and stood up. When she saw the dilapidated scene around her, she felt sad again.

Although the tears had already been shed dry, Ke Jingsi felt self-afraid, and it was inevitable that he would feel lost again.

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

As soon as she left home, seeing each other was a farewell forever, Huaying couldn't help lamenting that the world is ruthless. In just one year, she has experienced too much pain.

Losing the master first, and then losing the family, such a blow, let alone a teenage girl, I am afraid that it would be absolutely unacceptable for anyone else.

"From now on, what is your home?"

Huaying looked up at the endless starry sky above her head, inadvertently remembered what her master said before she was alive, and couldn't help showing a sad smile, "Master, in this world, this disciple has no relatives anymore."

She didn't know what kind of feeling the master had in her heart when she said those words that day, I'm afraid, it was no different from her now.

However, if we talk about the present, there are only Yinger and Zhier.

When Huaying was trapped in all kinds of grief and couldn't extricate herself, the words of Master that day suddenly sounded in her ears, as if someone was whispering softly, which made her tremble all over.

"Sister."

A figure of a beautiful young girl appeared in her mind, the woman who had been with her for several years and cared for her in every possible way, Huaying murmured, and she suddenly came to her senses.

Yes, the senior sister is still waiting for me.Go back, go back to Qingya Mountain, and together with senior sister, stay by Master's side forever.

"Father, mother, I'm sorry my son came back late, so I didn't see you for the last time."

With this in mind, Huaying took advantage of the moonlight and knelt heavily on the ground facing the direction of her parents and elder brother's room and kowtowed a few times. After a long time, she got up, and then went to the scattered ruins inside to find some clothes of her parents and elder brother.

Since the bones could not be found, she planned to make a tomb for her family, so that it would be convenient for her to come back to worship in the future.

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

However, at this moment, there was a burst of extremely loud hissing from the direction of the village entrance.

Huaying frowned slightly, thinking, could it be that the animals she brought were attacked by wild beasts in the mountains?

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

She raised her sword and went forward, but as soon as she arrived at the entrance of the village, Huaying realized that something was wrong. It was pitch black outside the village, and there seemed to be a group of people standing there, about forty or fifty of them, all riding horses.

"Hey, I thought it was a beast, but it turned out to be a human beast."

She couldn't help saying bad luck in her heart, she was already depressed, but now she bumped into this group of horse thieves and dared to touch her own property, there is no possibility of letting it go.

What's more, I heard from the old manager of the car rental shop that this group of horse thieves has been rampant in Qingyang Township for the past year, committing all kinds of crimes, and the officers and soldiers can't deal with it. Maybe these people have also come to bully Yangshan Village Folks.

Thinking of this, Huaying couldn't forgive her.

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

"Li Laoliu, it's a great achievement for you to intercept this kind of property today. After you go back, let you choose one of the things in it, and then the brothers will share it."

The leader rode on the horse, and laughed at a skinny monkey-like man in his 40s and [-]s beside him, obviously very satisfied with the flying wealth in front of him.

"The boss is mighty, the boss is wise. I just happened to see a woman driving with three donkey carts alone when I went out to inquire about the news in the afternoon, so I followed out of curiosity. I never thought that the woman was alone. People are here in the valley where the birds don’t shit, hehe”

Li Laoliu bowed his waist, with a smug smile on his face, and said slowly.

The leader was very surprised when he heard the words, and asked, "You mean, you saw only one woman driving the car? There was no one else in the car?"

"I have never seen another person, only that woman. I was afraid that she would not dare to get too close if she noticed it. She didn't seem to be very old at that age, and I don't know how she dared. Could it be that she didn't know about Qingyang Town? Whose territory is it?" Li Laoliu said truthfully.
