Chapter 1 First acquaintance and farewell
The sky was gray, as if there had just been a heavy rain, and on the muddy path, which was icy cold, waves of pedestrians who seemed to be in groups but were scattered in a hurry were walking forward tiredly.
This is an inconspicuous official road called Zhanlongling in the far western region. Because it is remote and few people pass by it all year round, it is surrounded by overgrown weeds and dense forests. No one knows what lies deep in the quiet forest.
This group of people, old and young, women and children, had sadness in their eyes, but there was no fear deep down. Instead, they had a sense of determination and fighting spirit. Yes, the people of Pingyi City in the southwest, even if they leave their homeland
, but the heroic spirit of our ancestors who once defended our country and fought bloody battles on the battlefield will never be extinguished.
"Tsk, tsk, the Jin Kingdom is on the verge of war again~" an elder sighed helplessly.
The Jin State, which is adjacent to the southern border of the Tang State, has always been sparkling. This time, the Jin State mourned and the undercurrent of the power struggle was intense. In order to establish prestige and meritorious deeds, the newly appointed emperor Yu Wenke took advantage of the Tang State's national policy of opening up business and sent dead soldiers in disguise.
Dress up and sneak into Pingyi City, cooperate with the inside and outside, and take advantage of our army's unpreparedness to send an elite cavalry regiment to break through the city gate and reignite the war.
Pedestrians walked slowly and talked quietly along the way, surrounded by a group of soldiers escorting them. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were separated from the people and had their own iron rules and character. However, the political ideology of the army and the people being one family was a tradition of the Tang Dynasty, and the people were never afraid of it.
They were serious soldiers, and they occasionally chatted with each other. One of the soldiers caught a glimpse of a child in ragged clothes. He said he was a young man, but he was actually about fifteen or sixteen years old. He was a little slower than ordinary people.
He looks a little mature for his age.
"Little guy, why are you so bored? Don't worry, if someone really kills you, I will definitely fall in front of you."
He paused for a moment, raised his head with an expressionless expression, and glanced at the old soldier who was speaking indifferently. After just one glance, he lowered his head and walked forward again.
An old man who was over sixty years old next to him said: "I don't know where this little guy came from. He just came to Pingyi City a few days ago. He is only in rags. I saw him once and gave him two steamed buns."
, Not to mention, although he is a little beggar, the material of the clothes is quite comfortable to the touch. It is probably not cheap. No one in our small border area has ever seen it. "
"With this behavior and expression, are you sure you are a wandering little beggar?"
"I guess it doesn't look like it, but it's true that it's unlucky enough. We were attacked by the enemy as soon as we arrived. Alas."
…
"Quick, quick, prepare for defense, protect the people!" Suddenly, a soldier shouted loudly, and saw three wild boars jumping out of the jungle. They may not be underage yet, not big and not fast, but they are tired of evacuation.
For everyone on the way, the threat was not small. It seemed that wild boars were also afraid of strong men. One of them actually hit the little beggar. After several attempts to dodge, the little beggar got separated from the crowd and ran in alone.
In the woods.
Fortunately, his skills were good, and the wild boar failed to succeed for a while. However, one person and one pig deviated further and further from the original direction. After all, his physical fitness was still a lot worse, and he gradually couldn't keep up with his physical strength. With a sigh, the little beggar couldn't keep up.
I was bumped when I was careful to avoid it, but I just groaned but didn't scream out. I leaned against the big tree next to me and continued to deal with the wild boar. I don't know how long it took before I finally fainted.
~~~
The sound of water rang in the ears. The little beggar, no, it was a boy, slowly opened his eyes in a trance. His childish ignorance and the white gauze all over his body made him feel particularly distressed.
"You're awake," the middle-aged lady who was wiping the boy's face said in surprise. The boy kept staring at the lady without saying a word. When the lady saw this, she began to guess about the boy's character.
Explaining, "When my men were out hunting, they happened to encounter you being chased by a wild boar. You two were circling around the tree. Later, you fainted and my men arrived and rescued you." The lady didn't give a damn.
Impatient, he wiped and talked as if he was looking after his own child.
"Thank you", two words came out of the young man's mouth with difficulty, and then he wanted to get up and look at his body.
"You can continue to rest. I can see that you have practiced some martial arts. Although there is nothing serious, you have been malnourished and overworked for a long time, and your body is weaker than ordinary people. I have studied medicine, so I brought you for simple treatment.
one time."
The woman's tone was gentle, her eyes showed some pity and sorrow, and her face was friendly and smiling. Looking at her, the young man would always inadvertently forget how he had survived in the past few years. The pain was replaced by warmth, and the bitter heart was replaced by tenderness.
Surrounded by a warmth.
The noble lady then went out and ordered people to prepare meals and medicinal soup. It seemed that there was no maid around, so she fed the boy herself. Time gradually passed, the sky also darkened, and the candlelight in the room swayed from time to time.
The young man stared at the lady for a long time and said, "Madam, give me a name, okay?"
The noble lady was stunned when she heard this. This child looked quite mature, his manners were well-educated, and his eyes were clear. There was no panic or fear in this situation. His family background should have some status, so why didn't he have a name? The symptoms didn't look like amnesia.
ah.
"I was kicked out of the house when I was thirteen years old. Now I am sixteen. I have been homeless for three years. You are very kind, and your eyes are like my aunt. I feel as if my aunt is looking at me again. I want to let go of the past and live with myself.
The hope given by you and my aunt can live again."
It was the first time that the young man said so many words. His expression remained unchanged but he was extremely sincere. The lady looked at him. After a while, she reached out her hand to touch his face. Her voice was slightly trembling, "You are so young.
You just left home, how pitiful you are, you said a few words without any emotion at all, how decisive your parents must have been back then!"
"Well, if you and I are destined, how about you be my adopted son? How about taking your adopted father's surname and calling you Qin Junze?"
The young man's cold face that had remained unchanged for thousands of years seemed to move, and he replied after a while: "Okay."
A few days passed by in the blink of an eye, and Qin Junze had already gotten out of bed, looking around and thinking, and occasionally chatting with his adoptive mother. It turned out that his adoptive mother came here to attend the funeral of an old friend, who seemed to have offended some force.
The entire clan was wiped out, and her compassion was greatly moved that day, which coincided with her stepmother's regret and sadness for her late nephew (the son of an old friend). It just so happened that his appearance reminded her of the past, maybe it was something from heaven or something.
Due to fate, I found a family relationship, and my adoptive mother also found a trace of sustenance.
It seems that this is also a very high-status lady. She was escorted by experts along the way, and her food, clothing, housing and transportation were carefully arranged. Qin Junze's already somewhat healthy body finally got better, and the relationship between mother and son also grew day by day. The two seemed to
They seemed to have a clear understanding of each other and never asked about the past. They were like real relatives. Qin Junze often sat next to his adoptive mother, reading and writing. He would occasionally ask for some superficial pharmacological knowledge and help his mother with some small housework. The two talked and laughed, and occasionally
Looking at the one who seemed to be the most powerful swordsman among the many guards, Qin Junze sometimes felt that he also had the urge to hold a sword, always protecting his mother and the blessed mother-son friendship.
Day by day, the group of people were getting farther and farther away from the border town where they met on their way back. The market in the past became more and more lively. They went from the small town to the big city, but they still did not reach the destination of Qin Junze's adoptive mother.
stand.
"Mom, I shouldn't have asked more questions, but the doubts in my heart still linger and I really can't bear it, so I thought..."
"Aze, I know what you want to ask. I do have some background. I live in the capital, and I also want to take you back to show me your adoptive father. Don't worry, our family is very harmonious. Although your brothers are not
I am a biological child, but they are all easy to get along with. You have a pitiful background and they will not bully you."
Sure enough, my mother came from an official family in the capital and was the daughter of a famous family. Her observations and guesses were the same as mine. I was originally a wanderer and acquaintance, with a humble and pitiful background. Now I am living in the care of others and doing nothing. I don’t even have the ability to protect myself in the world.
My mother will be treated unfairly because of me when she goes back. She treats me like this and is as gentle as an aunt. I can't hurt her. After thinking about it, although Qin Junze agreed with his mouth, he had already made a decision in his heart.
That night, a farewell letter with beautiful handwriting appeared on the table in the room. With some money and food, Qin Junze disappeared into the night. It happened that the guard did not pay too much attention to the child and left without anyone noticing.
The family relationship that lasted for more than a month was buried in Qin Junze's heart. He didn't know where he should go, that home? Or the end of the world as people often say?
