Traveling through troubled times, he fled with his stepson

He Gousheng spent his entire life being abused and beaten.

He knew from childhood that he was born into an unfortunate family. His father was the worst person in the whole village, he was a drunkard, violent, addicted to gambling and lustful, but even so, his mother did not dare to leave him.

She was afraid that once she left her father, not only would her reputation be tarnished, but her family would also be in trouble. She was even more afraid that her son would be beaten even more badly because no one would protect him.

She has always been patient, and as far as she can remember, her mother has never been intolerant.

This patience allowed her to survive the peacetime and also the most terrifying times.

He started wandering with his father and mother. His father's identity as a gangster, once despised by everyone in the village, became the best identity in the chaotic period.

Doing all kinds of evil and having no bottom line can help you survive.

When the idea of ​​exchanging children for food or eating human flesh was first proposed, he and his mother tried their best to oppose it, but they could not resist the beast who finally brought a few people to kidnap a woman.

He treated that woman in the most beastly way, and in the end... shared her food.

At first he didn't understand why his mother tried her best to stop him from eating and even slapped him when his father was eating meat.

The mother was beaten for this.

It was not until he ate meat several times that someone came to cry and make a scene, and the tacit understanding was exposed. He vomited in fear, and even though life in Jiguanshan was so good later, he could not eat meat.

He Gousheng is just like his name, the son of He Sangou, destined to be a beast.

He knew that his mother could not endure it any longer. If she did, his father, who was becoming more and more powerful, would beat her to death.

He relied on his status as the only son, so although he was not beaten to death, he was still severely beaten.

He Gousheng is already a person with his own ideas. Suffering makes people mature and scheming precociously.

He wanted his mother to run away and he also wanted to kill his father. This was his only thought after he had no other options.

But fate favored them, and they were taken to Jiguan Mountain by the boss. The refugees turned into bandits.

He became the son of a bandit.

He didn't understand why he gradually became happy after being a bandit's mother for a few days.

What his mother said most to him was: "Jiguan Mountain is a good place. The people there are all good people, especially the eldest master and Madam Wei. They are all very good people."

A very good person.

But he accommodated his father.

But beasts are beasts wherever they are, and they do the things of beasts. He talked nonsense, and was sent to the back hills by Madam Wei to do the lowest kind of work.

It was his fault alone, but he dragged his mother into suffering with him.

After being beaten black and blue again, Uncle Bao couldn't bear it anymore and stepped forward to save him. This rescue led to his mother and father divorcing.

He was extremely grateful to Madam Wei. If he had known it was so easy, he would have ignored his mother's objections and went to ask Madam Wei for help earlier.

His father was dragged away like a dog, and he thought he would never see him again in this life.

The disaster was brought about by that beast.

If he had known that something like this would happen after his father was taken away, he should have solved it himself. If he had known that his mother would die sooner or later...

He Gousheng was taken away under someone's arm. He turned his head hard to look, but all he could see was a huge flame rising into the sky. His mother was reduced to ashes in that horrible scene.

It was a long time later, when He Gousheng grew up and became a university student, that he was finally able to describe his mother's last moment state.

That was reduced to ashes.

There is no place to bury the dead.

It is also the best thing his mother can leave for him.

She is such a patient person. If she had just been a little more patient, help would have arrived.

Just a little more time.

But she just needed that little bit of time.

But she was destroyed when he was most powerless and weakest.

He Gousheng couldn't explain how he felt at that moment. The earth-shaking sound shattered everything, and he fell to the ground, with a young and strong body pressing on him, pinning him down firmly.

Protect him well.

His mother is dead.

There is no other woman in this world who will comfort him and tell him that he is doing well.

No one would protect him anymore. This was what he thought before.

When he saw that the back of the older brother who was protecting him was blown to pieces, the sky gradually brightened.

He was being led by someone, but he refused to leave. "He's still alive, he's still alive, save him..."

Someone carried the two of them away. From a high place, he saw Li Yuan leading the battle in the front, and saw the fire burning the dry grass behind him.

That day, the light was brightened up by his mother's explosion, as if to say that his future path would be bright.

But his path was destroyed.

When He Gousheng woke up again, he was in a place far away from Jiguan Mountain. He had heard about this place from those who were on missions before, because many people often came here to rest before continuing on their journey.

It was in this place that the marching military doctor covered his face with a thick layer of white cloth.

One of his eyes was covered, and the severe pain came from there.

"Don't move. Do you want something? I'll get it for you."

He Gousheng raised his eyes to look at the voice beside him. With only one eye, his sense of direction was not very good, but he could still see the face of the person who was speaking clearly.

He is the person entrusted by my mother.

It was the one who pinned him down.

"Hey - don't cry, don't cry, otherwise the wound will open again. If you can't see with one eye, don't you want another one? Stop crying, I know it hurts and you have to bear it and overcome it."

Hearing this voice, He Gousheng's tears immediately flowed down his eyes.

It hurts so much.

I don't even know where it hurts.

The military doctor happened to pass by here, and when he heard the noise, he scolded them severely.

Then they changed the dressing again.

No one mentioned the woman who suddenly cut off their connection, and no one mentioned the boy's sad story.

The days passed uneventfully, and some people were sobbing quietly.

The wounded, the disabled, the elderly and the weak lay there for a whole day, and five fireworks were heard in succession in the distance.

"Won!"

"The city lord has taken down Jiguan Mountain—"

Five fireworks meant a great victory. The city lord led his men back and captured Jiguan Mountain.

Everyone cheered and jumped for joy, and moved quickly.

When He Gousheng heard news about the city lord again, he heard people's praise and admiration for him.

Because Li Yuan not only took back Jiguanshan, but also destroyed all the strongholds around Jiguanshan, completely bringing Jiguanshan into the sphere of influence of Yizhou City.

The people who stayed behind in Jiguanshan were either killed or wounded, and some were captured and imprisoned.

"Why don't we kill them? Why are we being so nice to them?"

He Gousheng said with murderous intent, he is obviously just a child, but he is full of hostility and resentment.

"We have never been treated like this before when we were arrested!"

The man next to him glanced at the child, then explained nonchalantly: "The city lord has other uses, so we just listen to him."

But the boy didn't listen to him. His eyes were fixed on the bound hands and feet of these people.

They are powerless now, even he can kill them.
