His name is Qi Liang. [/Text first published,
Qi Liang was born in a war-torn era called the Spring and Autumn Period, but his fate was better than that of ordinary people. He was born in the family of a doctor (official), and lived a life of plenty since childhood. At least he had enough food and clothing in that chaotic era.
However, Qi Liang was not a sociable person since he was young. He could not get along with other noble children at all. In that era, human life was disregarded. In the eyes of the nobles, the lives of common people were worthless and the lives of the untouchables could be killed at will. But Qi Liang was indeed an exception. He did not think so. He had an idea that was very different from that of the nobles at that time. He wanted everyone to be equal and courteous.
However, this idea was only ridiculed by countless nobles, who laughed at him for being different and stupid.
Qi Liang always adhered to his ideal and has been helping poor people.
Meng Jiang'er is an orphan. She has been selling soup at the street corner for a living with her grandfather who took her in since she was a child. Although life is poor, there are sweet times in the bitterness. Until the day when Meng Jiang'er was eighteen years old, three ferocious-looking men with scars on their faces suddenly ran to the stall and said they wanted to marry her. How could she agree? She could tell at a glance that the guys opposite were not good people. So during the quarrel, her grandfather was knocked to the ground by these three men, and she herself was forced into a corner by these three men. Meng Jiang'er looked at the cold eyes of those people in the crowd and wished they could come out to help. However, they were just watching the fun. No one was willing to offend these bullies for a woman.
Until he appeared, Qi Liang!
Meng Jiang'er had been caught by the three evil men. She was in despair. Suddenly, a young man's voice came from the crowd: "Hey, what's the point of you three men bullying a woman?"
These words were like the sound of nature. Meng Jiang'er looked up and saw a handsome young man dressed in gorgeous clothes walking in. This man was Qi Liang.
Qi Liang was also eighteen years old at the time. He couldn't stand being bullied, let alone such a thing as robbing a woman. However, the three villains obviously recognized Qi Liang as the son of Doctor Qi, so they immediately let go of Meng Jianger's wrist, apologized, and turned away.
"Thank you for the rescue, young man."
After Qi Liang helped Meng Jianger up, Meng Jianger nodded politely, then hurried over to help her grandfather up. Qi Liang also hurried over to help when he saw this.
Meng Jiang'er had never seen such a person before. He was obviously dressed in gorgeous clothes and looked like a son of a powerful family, but he went to see a doctor and get medicine without telling his grandfather. It must be said that Qi Liang was really an outlier in that era. After settling Meng Jiang'er's grandfather, Qi Liang breathed a sigh of relief. After all, it was quite tiring to run around carrying an old man on one's back.
"Why don't you bully us?" Meng Jiang'er took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off Qi Liang and asked.
"Why should I bully you?" Qi Liang turned around and smiled at Meng Jiang'er. Meng Jiang'er was stunned. Yes, why should I bully us? Why can the rich bully the poor? Why can the powerful bully the powerless
"But those rich people bully us poor people, but you don't bully us. You are a strange person." Meng Jianger looked at Qi Liang and said.
"Because I am me, not them. I don't need to bully others to seek happiness. Helping others is also a kind of happiness. Don't you think so?" Qi Liang pointed to the sky and said, "You know what? I have a dream. I hope that all human beings can live together regardless of their status, poverty, and differences, instead of the wars and chaos like now."
"At that time, the rich would not bully the poor, everyone lived in harmony, everyone could walk on the street, the poor did not have to give way to the nobles, and the children of the nobles and the poor could study, live and get married under the same roof."
"They don't hate each other because of each other's image. They don't laugh at each other because of each other's wealth. They don't attack each other because of each other's customs. They can laugh loudly and become partners."
"I have such a golden dream!" Qi Liang smiled and looked at the ceiling, as if the picture of the dream in his heart had already emerged in his mind.
"wack."
Although Meng Jiang'er said this, she might not have realized that love had already begun to sprout in her heart.
After that, Qi Liang came to Meng Jianger's soup shop to help every few days. Qi Liang did not think too much about it at first, he just wanted to help, but as time went by, Meng Jianger little by little fell in love with this sincere boy, who might be the only nobleman in the world who would not bully others.
But Meng Jianger didn't dare to tell Qi Liang, because she was afraid that if she told Qi Liang, Qi Liang would leave forever, because there was a big difference between nobles and commoners, and it was impossible for nobles to marry commoners, so she buried her feelings for Qi Liang deeply. But she didn't know that Qi Liang was slowly falling in love with her, this silly and strong little girl.
Qi Liang will always remember the girl who gritted her teeth and kept silent even when she burned her hand while cooking soup. He will remember the girl who kept nagging in front of him, telling him about the interesting things she did with Ah Hong next door. He will also remember the girl crying when she fell from the tree while picking fruit for him. He will also remember how sadly this strong girl cried on the day she learned that he was leaving.
Qi Liang was about to leave. Qi Liang often helped the poor and was an outlier in the aristocratic circle of Qi State. He also offended many nobles and dignitaries for the poor. So someone recommended him to lead the troops in this war, and the military order had already come down, and he would go to the battlefield.
It was the fifth year that Qi Liang and Meng Jiang'er had known each other, and their feelings were very deep. When Qi Liang learned that he was going to the military camp to fight, he realized that he might never come back. However, he did not refuse, because he believed that his golden dream could only come true after all countries were unified, and he was a man of blood. He believed that a man should fight on the battlefield, and even if he died, he would die without regrets. However, if he had not met Meng Jiang'er, he might really have nothing to worry about. It was Qi Liang who took the initiative to ask Meng Jiang'er out that time, in a beautiful peach blossom forest outside the western suburbs where they often played together.
"I heard that you really left? You went to fight in the war, and you will never come back." Meng Jiang'er was already 23 years old at that time, and had long since become a mature beauty. There were countless people who came to propose marriage to her, but she rejected them one by one. Those people knew that she liked Qi Liang, but they all said that she was wishful thinking.
"Yeah." Qi Liang nodded. Qi Liang at this time was no longer the young man he was five years ago, but a mature and steady young man. However, he still adhered to his principle of helping others.
When Qi Liang looked at Meng Jianger, whom he had known for five years, he felt very reluctant to part with her. He didn't even feel that way about his father.
"Will he come back?" Meng Jiang'er asked. "I don't know. Maybe he will never come back in his lifetime." Qi Liang answered honestly.
"Really?" Qi Liang saw Meng Jiang'er's disappointed expression. He looked up at the peach blossom forest and said, "In one month, my father wants me to marry. The other party is also the daughter of a doctor. He wants me to leave a descendant for the Qi family. Will you come when I get married?"
"Yeah." Meng Jianger finally cried. Although she had known this day would come, she couldn't help crying. Qi Liang looked at Meng Jianger crying and suddenly had a bold idea. He gritted his teeth and said, "I will marry you."
"Ah." Meng Jiang'er was shocked when she heard Qi Liang's words, and looked at Qi Liang in surprise. You know, nobles at that time were not allowed to marry poor people, and if it was a serious case, they would be convicted, so it was no wonder that Meng Jiang'er was so surprised.
Sure enough, half a month later, Qi Liang and Meng Jiang'er got married. Meng Jiang'er never dreamed that Qi Liang would really marry her, so the two of them spent perhaps the happiest half a month in their lives, until the day Qi Liang was about to go to the battlefield.
Meng Jianger stood at the city gate, looking at Qi Liang wearing armor, and after tidying him up, she said, "You must try to get him back. I will always wait for you."
Qi Liang actually regretted his impulsiveness at that time. He did not regret marrying Meng Jiang'er, but he did not know whether he could come back. If he died on the battlefield, wouldn't Meng Jiang'er be a widow for the rest of her life? He was ruining Meng Jiang'er's life. However, Qi Liang still said, "If I can't come back, just forget me."
"How can I forget? I will never forget you in my life." Meng Jianger looked at Qi Liang and said through gritting her teeth.
Qi Liang nodded and said, "Wait for me to come back!" After that, he mounted his horse and left the place where he had lived for more than 20 years, and went to a strange but passionate military camp.
Just after Qi Liang left, Meng Jianger set up a soup shop at the city gate, just to wait for Qi Liang's return.
Qi Liang went to attack Ju at that time, but he was not valued when he arrived at the military camp. On the contrary, he was suppressed in various ways because he did not fit in with the aristocratic circle.
However, Qi Liang had been practicing martial arts since he was a child. In one battle, he led a hundred people to attack the enemy camp, killing and wounding half of the three hundred enemy soldiers, and returned with a great victory. From then on, Qi Liang became famous in one battle, and his reputation grew.
However, it is true that people are afraid of going out and pigs are afraid of getting fat. Qi Liang's immediate superior has always been Qi Liang's enemy. When he saw Qi Liang gaining power, he was afraid that Qi Liang would become powerful and deal with him in the future. So he issued a military order, ordering Qi Liang to take fifty people into the enemy camp to kill the enemy. He could not come back until all the enemies were killed. This was clearly an order to kill him. Although Qi Liang knew that someone was framing him, the military order was as heavy as a mountain, so he still accepted it.
However, his brothers disagreed and advised him not to go, saying it was clearly a frame-up. Some even asked him to kill his boss.
But Qi Liang shook his head and said, "I cannot put myself in an unjust situation, and I cannot harm you all. Military orders are as heavy as a mountain. Since the military order is like this, I will do it even if I am asked to commit suicide!"
Qi Liang had no chance to realize his golden dream. That night, Qi Liang led more than fifty people into the enemy camp.
However, there were tens of millions of enemy troops in the opposite camp, and his fifty men were like sheep walking into the tiger's mouth. Seeing the soldiers around him fall one by one, when Qi Liang was the only one left, Qi Liang began to cry. He was not crying because he was going to die, but because he could not go back to see Meng Jianger again. In the end, Qi Liang killed twenty-seven enemies and was finally surrendered and died tragically.
The next day, Meng Jiang'er learned that her husband Qi Liang was framed and died tragically. She cried day and night at the city gate. Finally, perhaps it was God who was moved, and the city gate collapsed. All the nobles fell silent for a moment.
I don’t know if it was Qi Liang’s loyalty or Meng Jiang’er’s infatuation, or perhaps it moved God, the two people who originally thought they would never meet again met again many years later in a place no one expected.
Naihe Bridge!
At that time, Meng Jiang'er was no longer called Meng Jiang'er, but Meng Po, and Qi Liang was no longer Qi Liang, but just a lonely ghost. When Qi Liang walked across the Naihe Bridge, he saw Meng Po, and Meng Po also saw Qi Liang. The two looked at each other and smiled helplessly.
"Do you still stick to your ideal? The ideal of equality for all." Meng Po asked.
"Persistence is called ideal, otherwise it is called fantasy. I have always persisted in my ideal." Qi Liang paused: "I have also always insisted on not forgetting you. Even though I have been a lonely ghost for so many years, I have never forgotten you."
"Why did you want to die in the first place?" Meng Po asked expressionlessly.
"Because of the words loyalty and righteousness." Qi Liang replied.
"More important than me?" Meng Po asked with a twinkling look in her eyes, "Is it worth it for me to wait for you for decades just for the two words of loyalty and righteousness?"
"Well, as a man, one should live up to the heaven and earth." Qi Liang's expression darkened as he spoke: "I live up to the heaven and earth, but I feel ashamed of you, Meng Jiang'er, no, Meng Po."
"Drink this bowl of Meng Po soup. You will forget everything after drinking it." Meng Po handed over a bowl of clear soup expressionlessly. Qi Liang looked down at the Meng Po soup and said, "Will you forget everything after I drink it?"
"Yes." Meng Po nodded.
"I said I won't forget it?" Qi Liang asked with a firm look.
"Impossible." Meng Po shook her head.
"Do you want to make a bet?" Qi Liang asked with a firm look.
"What bet?"
"If I haven't forgotten, you will marry me again and let me make it up to you in the next life."
"What if you forget?"
"If I forget you, it means that I am a faithless person, and you can kill me then!" After saying this, Qi Liang took the Meng Po soup, opened his mouth wide and drank it in one gulp, then turned and walked towards the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Meng Po looked at Qi Liang's back and said calmly: "If you forget me, I might really kill you."
