Half-mountain village, as its name suggests, is half mountain and half water, surrounded by green bamboos and beautiful scenery. The life of the villagers is full of comfort. The ancestors have found this cave sky in the mountain for more than three hundred years to escape the wars of the world.
But on this day, Banshan Village ignited a raging fire. The heavily armed army launched a tragic and humane massacre on this paradise. The corpses of innocent villagers, men and women, young and old, full of wolves...
All this coincides with the old saying: Every man is not guilty, and he is punishable by the wall!
The valley where Banshan Village is located is flushed out of a natural dome by a big river. The two ends of the valley are connected by two countries that have been at war for 20 years, Hulan and Dawei.
Hulan State is located in the hinterland of the Great Wei Dynasty. It is within 400 miles of the Great Wei imperial city. It has rich resources and makes people jealous. However, it is a pity that the Hulan Mountain is so dangerous that only Tianmen Pass can be entered. All stopped at Tianmenguan.
In the end, the emperor Wei has his destiny. Whoever can lay Hulan, the land here will be his fief. If the prince lays Hulan, he can be the crown prince of Wei. Mountain village, head straight to Hulandu City.
The four princes wiped out the cowardly Hulan in one fell swoop. He should have spared the Mid-Levels villagers who led the way, but who made Mid-Levels rich in gems? In order to monopolize this group of amazing wealth, the fourth prince did not hesitate to light up the butcher knife.
This move was also forced by helplessness. Although the fourth prince led the battle of annihilation of the country, the credit can only be attributed to the prince. Because the strength is not as good as humans, the prince finally won Hulan and was named the prince. The prince only got a place outside the mountain, the area is not small, but the population is only 30,000, and the available soldiers are less than 3,000. In order to protect himself in the future, and even become the big treasure, the four princes have to kill the killer, seize this amazing wealth, and store food to support the army.
It's just that no one thought that the villagers in Mid-Levels were not killed, but a child who was only seven years old ran away.
The mountain people are not stupid. Looking at the appearance of these fighters, you know that they have coveted. When the massacre began, a dozen children jumped into the river under the cover of the blood and life of the people, and went straight into the concealment. The third waterway exit.
The children are not bad in water, but the waterway is too long, there are not more than ten who can escape...
"The kid wakes up."
A kind old woman patted a child's back vigorously. The child's life was so good that he passed the winding passage alive, and he was the only one.
Under the beating of the old woman, the child opened his mouth and spit out the water in his stomach: "Whose child are you? How come you fell into the river? If it weren't for me to wash the clothes today, then you would be dead."
"My name is Sanwa." The child's name is Sanwa, the third child in the family, and there are two older brothers on it. "Mother-in-law, is that?"
"This is Qingzhu Town." The old woman saw that Sanwa had regained her sanity, watching that his clothes had been scratched by the stone, and his body was still bleeding: "I will take you home and take care of the injury first."
Sanwa nodded, and the old woman continued to ask, "Where are you from?"
"do not know."
The third baby really didn’t know. The old woman asked carefully and found that the child didn’t know anything. It should have been too much stimulation to cause amnesia. However, the old woman lived alone in a bamboo house in the village and used textile fabrics to sell for some money. Originally there was a son, but after years of war, the husband and son were buried in a different country. It's a good thing that such a child is sent to me now, at least someone will talk to my old woman in the future.
When the third baby escaped, she carried a tarpaulin bag with him. It contained a book given by the old village head. As for the book, the third baby didn’t know what the book was. The old village head told him to protect the book anyway. , Can't let anyone watch.
Sanwa often had nightmares. In his dreams, he saw his parents and brothers being killed by that evil spirit, and his home became a huge tomb, but where was his home? Sanwa didn't even know.
"Don't be afraid of the child, what's wrong with you?" At this time, the old woman always stroked the head of Sanwa with her kind hand: "Don't be afraid, mother-in-law is here."
The Sanwa often had nightmares, and the old woman was always kindly caring. The villagers curiously discovered that there was an extra child in the old woman's house. However, the villagers were simple and the children soon played with the Sanwa, but the Sanwa was often alone. Shaking, as if afraid of something.
The third child has books, but he did not go to school. Where does the old woman have money to pay for the tuition? She is getting old, and the money she sells for spinning cloth is only enough for a small amount of money. Even many times she has to rely on the villagers to help her. The fields are already deserted without people who can farm, and it is not easy to clean up again.
"Sanwa, this is a bracelet. You can sell it in town."
The old lady tremblingly took out a cloth bag from a hole in the wall with a pair of copper bracelets inside. She could see that Sanwa wanted to go to school like other children, but she was too poor, how about money
"Grandma, what do you sell it for?"
Sanwa is very sensible. The village head told him that the book must be learned, and only after learning can we get revenge. So Sanwa is eager to go to school more than anyone else, but if he is old and young, he can’t even eat enough, can he go to school? But he has his own way. He grows in the big river and has the best water quality. Moreover, there are a lot of fish in this river. Every day he buys some fish to sell. It is enough to save a year to pay the tuition.
"Grandma, I can catch fish, and selling it every day is enough for us to eat."
In fact, how much can a copper bracelet sell for? This family is too poor. Sanwa will go to the river to fish every day, and the fish must be delivered to the store in the morning before the restaurant opens. There is a ten-mile road between the village and the town. Sanwa has to go back and forth every morning.
This run lasted for a year. This body is getting stronger and stronger. Sanwa is very good at fishing, but he wants to go to school more, so he ran to discuss with her husband on this day whether he could use the fish to pay for the tuition.
"what's your name?"
Mr. Yi is very green. This is the private school of the villagers. Everyone pooled together money to ask Mr. to teach the children. They all hoped that someone would get a champion.
"My name is Sanwa."
After hearing this, the husband couldn't help but smiled. The children in the village are all named Big Dog, Ergou, Stone, and Shovel, but the mountain people are ignorant. What good name can they give
Seeing her husband’s smile, Sanwa immediately said, “Sir, I can catch fish and sell them for money, and then come to your class, can you say yes, sir?”
"Haha, no need." The gentleman had a handsome face, and looked different from ordinary literati: "But it's not bad to have fish, so be it."
"Thank you, Mr., the student must send the biggest fish to Mr."
The life of the Sanwa is not happy. The children's games are sometimes cruel. The Sanwa is only seven years old. Where is the opponent of those tall children? He was often beaten all over his body, but he never talked to his old wife about being beaten. He just cleaned the dirt on his body and continued to do his own thing.
Every day, Sanwa will get up as soon as the chicken crows, and go to the river to bring the fish soaked in the river water to the town. This was touched the night before. Sanwa is really good in water. He can sink in the water for a long time without showing up. It's amazing that this child can lie on the water and sleep.
The teacher kept observing the child and nodded inwardly. The private school only has half a day, but it is in the morning, so the third child is very tired and must get up very early. He kept his promise and gave the biggest fish he touched to his husband every day, and he went to the field to pull grass and level the farmland in the afternoon. .
Originally a child of a farmer, the life of this kind of land was taken from the mother’s womb. The land that had been barren for a few years was finally sorted out and planted with rice. A few months later, this old woman finally ate the growth of her own land. The rice in front of him, and the dish in front of him is big carp, all made by three children. This child is smart and bears hardships and stands hard work.
How many fish can you touch? So what Sanwa most eagerly wanted was to buy a fishing net, but it was too expensive and cost a few taels, so Sanwa still had to fish, and only three or four a day. After all, the river is so urgent, that’s his water. Only the children who grew up here have this ability. Although this village guards the river, no one dares to go fishing, because a boat is destroyed when a wave is photographed.
"Sanwa, don't go fishing."
The old woman’s eyes are blind, because she always spins the fabric in the dim light and misses her man and son who died in battle. She cried blindly. The money saved by the three children was spent, but this eye just couldn’t. treatment. At this time, the river is covered by heavy snow, fish can only break the ice, and the water drips into ice outside, and the north wind is whistling outside. Adults dare not go out, let alone children
"Mother-in-law, I go to school, not fish, the heavy snow has blocked the river."
The third baby deceived the old woman. There is still food in the house, but the oil and salt are gone, and the old woman has a fever and has to buy medicine, but this requires money.
Sanwa borrowed an iron pick from the uncle blacksmith’s house and shoveled the ice hard. His thin clothes appeared so thin under the north wind, and the old woman did the same, but work always made her body hot. The slower the ice was, the ice was too hard. After a long time, the Sanwa still didn't cut it, and reluctantly shrank in a corner sheltered from the wind to rest.
It’s really cold, Sanwa also needs money, and his ability to make money is to fish, and he is cooking. He suddenly heard something in the forest wailing. Sanwa walked over to see that it was the hunter’s hunter. The beast clip caught a snow-white little fox on the hind legs, and the bright red blood made the Sanwa dizzy, as if the swordsmen had surrounded him.
"Don't be afraid, little fox, I'll let you out." Sanwa comforted the little fox, but the little fox stood up with his hair and pointed his teeth to Sanwa: "Hey, I let you out, don't call it, otherwise Zhang Lie will Trouble with me."
The little fox seemed to understand the words of Sanwa, but he was still vigilant. Sanwa finally opened the trap of catching animals: "Go away, or you will be killed if you are seen."
The little fox dragged his leg and wanted to walk, but the leg was broken and he couldn't walk anymore. The third baby picked him up: "I put you at home first. Don't call it. It will be troublesome if someone finds it out. Go buy medicine for you. Hey, but I have no money."
Sanwa hid the little fox in the wood house. Only he would come here. The old woman was blind now and would not walk around easily. Sanwa put the little fox back home and looked at it. She was surprised to see the old woman die. She was thirsty and wanted to get water, but she fell and hit her head on the corner of the table. The funeral was still handled by the villagers, and the carpenter was asked to build a coffin into the earth for safety.
"Sanwa, do you remember to pay back the money, my family still counts on that money to live." The carpenter was worried.
