[Tianxia 3][Ghost ink X Wumeihou] I can't see the sky

Many stories in novels begin with the sentence "Once upon a time, there was a scholar", and You Huang's story is no exception.

The scholar in Youhuang's mouth is the same as the scholar in many stories. He has great ambitions. He has studied hard for more than ten years without winter or summer, but he has never met his talents.He didn't even have the qualifications to take part in the imperial examinations, because of his background - Taoli Hualin is known to several villages near and far, the scholar's mother was not a woman, and she was [-] years old when she was unmarried and conceived, giving birth to a wild child without a father .

In the closed and conservative countryside, such behavior can be regarded as deviant, and the neighbors regard the mother and son as shameful.Even though the scholar is talented and ranks first in almost every subject in the academy, no teacher has accepted him as a student for many years, and it is like a gift that he can study with other people in the same class.In this way, on the day of the scientific report, there was no one to recommend, and even the surname could not be determined, so he was naturally excluded as a miscellaneous untouchable.

Seeing that more than ten years of hard work have been paid off, and the ambition in my heart has not yet begun to be stifled, the scholar is already depressed.However, to make matters worse, his mother had been in poor health since giving birth, and suddenly became seriously ill on that day, and the Danshi decoction could not be stopped after that.Seeing a doctor for his mother exhausted all the scholar's savings, and soon, even if he copied scriptures for others and sold calligraphy and paintings all day long, he still could not make ends meet, and gradually became impoverished.In the end, the rice jar at home couldn't even scoop out a single grain of rice. She couldn't hold on any longer, so her mother called the scholar to the bed and told him her life experience.

It was a clichéd story with a clichéd ending.

A general was seriously injured in a certain battle, and was rescued by a woman living nearby when he fled to Taolihualin.The general stayed at the woman's house, got along with each other for a long time, and gradually fell in love with each other, and the two decided to spend their lives privately, engaged in husband and wife affairs, and lived a period of time like honey mixed with oil.After the general recovered from his injuries, he naturally had to go back to the army first.Before leaving, the man vowed that the woman would wait for his three matchmakers, six women, and eight palanquins, but several months passed, and there was no news of him.At the same time, the woman suddenly found that she was pregnant, and her figure gradually became bloated.This was a very bad thing at the time, so the woman quietly left the house, inquiring all the way to find her husband.

Needless to mention the hardships and dangers along the way, she finally found it, but her heart was like falling into an ice cellar.Right in front of her, the man walked past another woman with his arms around him, with an intimate and intimate demeanor.It turned out that the general was married a long time ago, and even had a son a long time ago.Seeing this scene, she was immediately disheartened. Instead of looking for the general, she returned home silently, insisted on giving birth to the child, and brought up the child alone.

In You Huang's memory, when she was young, mother and child depended on each other for life, were displaced and often bullied by others.It wasn't until they moved to the current residence that the villagers were relatively simple and lived a peaceful life.At that time, my mother was lying on the bed, weak and weak, and she just held his hand and said softly: "After all these years, I no longer expect that man to care about the old kindness. But no matter what, Azhu, you are He is a father and son, and his flesh and blood are the most affectionate. You must admit it. Or, with him, you can sign up for the imperial examination and show your ambitions—go find your father. His surname is Ding, and he is currently stationed in Mudu by the Dynasty Army. Supreme commander of the town."

After the scholar settled his mother, he set out to find his father.What he cared about was not his qualifications for the imperial examination, but he just thought that if there was a one in ten thousand possibility, maybe his father would be willing to lend a helping hand and give some silver taels to save his mother's life.

But he was wrong.When he got to his father's house, he saw only one side of the man, and he was beaten out before he finished speaking.The father's wife is the niece of the prime minister of the current dynasty, she has a noble status, and she can't rub a grain of sand in her eyes.The scholar rushed in so recklessly, and almost revealed the old things in a few words, so naturally he would be silenced.

Behind the narrow dark alley, those thugs hit the scholar with sticks one after another, making a loud noise.How did people who have only touched scrolls experience this?For a moment, he felt pain all over his body, his throat was sweet, and his blood was surging, thinking that he was going to die soon, but at the moment before he fell into a coma, someone stepped forward to stop the atrocities.

All the thugs immediately stepped back and saluted, and each of them respectfully and flatteringly called the man "Elder Prince".The man was tall and heroic, looking back, his face was five points similar to that of a scholar, but he was much more mature, and with the fortitude unique to a soldier, he smiled and said: "You are what they said today to look for relatives That person? I am your elder brother, and my name is Tianlie."

The scholar was stunned, not knowing how to answer such a straightforward self-introduction.

Tianlie asked again: "What's your name?"

"... Qianzhu." The scholar said, "My name is Qianzhu."

"Qianzhu...Azhu, what an elegant name, a scholar is a scholar." Tianlie said, stretching out his hand to help the scholar up from the ground, carefully pressing his wound, "From now on, you will be my younger brother, I will take care of you."

Later, Qian Zhu once asked Tian Lie why he believed in him at that time.Tianlie thought for a while and said, "In addition to your similar appearance, I also saw your eyes."

"……Eye?"

"The heart of a child is unobstructed. Your eyes tell me that you will not lie."

Qian Zhu smiled, and there was a little bit of shattering light in her jet-black pupils.

Later, Tian Lie settled Qian Zhu in an inn in the town, found a doctor to treat his injuries, and collected a sum of money for him to take back to buy medicine for his mother.Before leaving, Tianlie took Qianzhu's hand and said regretfully, "Father didn't want to admit it, but I recognized you as my younger brother. The Ding family has owed you mother and son too much over the years. If you have difficulties in the future, don't forget Here in Mudu Town, there is another brother."

Qian Zhu nodded and said: "Today's kindness will never be forgotten. If my brother encounters any difficulties, Qian Zhu will definitely repay it."

Tianlie smiled, didn't seem to care about it, and waved him out of town.

The mother took the medicine and her condition improved.Qian Zhu let go of her heart and stopped thinking about the imperial examination. She just stayed quietly in the village, taking care of her mother and working part-time as a teacher in a nearby private school to make a living.But Tianlie's son and stepfather joined the army, and was soon sent to Bashu to fight against the Shuzhou rebels who colluded with demons.

The days passed like water, until one day, an anxious hunter broke the usual calm.The Orion hurriedly came to Qian Zhu with a letter, saying that he accidentally shot down a strange bird in the woods, and the strange bird was a messenger from some family, and something like a military newspaper was tied to its foot.Orion was illiterate, fearing that he would delay some important military situation of the dynasty, he hurriedly asked Qianzhu to interpret it.

However, Qianzhu recognized the strange bird as Guhuo Bird, who often served as a messenger in the Youdu demon army. The military report was written by Youdu demon general Luo Hui to Zhang Xianzhong, the leader of the bandits in Shuzhou, saying that he would take advantage of a certain day in a certain month. Together with the power of demons and bandits stationed at the former site of Jiange, they captured Wangchuan Town.Wangchuan Town is an important town in Bashu, a traffic fortress. If demons occupy it, the Jianmen Pass and Shuzhou City in the west and Tianhe Pass and Jiuli City in the south will all be cut off and fall into crisis.

Qianzhu knew that if the general reported to the garrison of the Jiangnan Dynasty, not to mention those low-level generals who neglected their duties and left their corpses without meals, it would be a question of whether they could pay attention to this information. The whole army has been lazy for a long time and has a complicated organization, submitting it layer by layer Not to mention that the year of the monkey and the month of the horse can only be passed on to the garrison in Shuzhou.By that time, the whole Bashu might be razed by demons.So after thinking about it again and again, Qian Zhu bid farewell to her mother, led a horse and set out on the road alone, and decided to send the letter to Shuzhou by herself.
