Chapter 2
In Hexi Town, there is a blacksmith named Feng, a dyer named Qin, and a pharmacist named Hu. They used to be content with their duties, not causing trouble, doing business in a lawful manner, and being down-to-earth people. However, because the townspeople colluded with bandits to kill the outsiders, they were implicated and were beaten down on the riverbank by the outsiders.
There were 108 people in Hexi Town, men and women, young and old, and everyone who was at home suffered the disaster. Only three children survived because they were visiting relatives.
These three kids are Feng Tianyu, Qin Dagang, and Myolie Wu.
Why did the three children all go to visit their relatives? It turns out that the Feng, Qin, and Hu families are relatives. The Feng and Qin families are cousins from the same aunt, and the Hu, Qin, and Feng families are cousins from the same uncle.
That is to say, Boss Feng and Boss Qin are brothers-in-law, and they married Boss Hu's two sisters together. This time, Mrs. Hu, who lives in an old house in the countryside, celebrated her 60th birthday, and she brought her three children to play in advance.
Three children, Feng Tianyu, 8, Qin Dagang, 7, and Myolie Wu, 5, were saved by Mrs. Hu. Some said it was God's will. Mrs. Hu fainted when she heard it.
Why? Mrs. Hu said that the damn outsider killed her one son, two daughters, one daughter-in-law and two sons-in-law. How unfair!
Having lost so many relatives at once, Mrs. Hu was almost in despair. The elderly bury the young. Her 60th birthday turned into a sad one. It was truly a case of "misfortunes come to you when you are at home."
But seeing the three little kids①, Mrs. Hu could not despair. She wanted to raise them to adulthood.
One by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one
①Xiayazai: A nickname for children given by Jiangxi people.
However, Gui Shunxing and Fan Dongsheng were not spared. When they led their troops to attack Yuhua Mountain, they were attacked from both sides by bandits.
It turned out that Du Xianzhi of Yuhua Mountain and Xiong Hanzhong of Shenghua Mountain were sworn brothers. Du Xianzhi couldn't beat the outsiders, so he asked his senior brother Xiong Hanzhong to help. The two gangs had more than 200 people in total.
Gui and Fan had only forty or fifty men under their command. No matter how strong they were, they were killed one after another when attacked from both sides.
The disparity in strength was only one reason. Another reason was that the bandits fought with Gui and Fan at night. The bandits were not used to fighting at night, while Gui and Fan's men were used to fighting at night.
It is daytime now, and the bandits from Yuhua Mountain are hiding in the sturdy fortifications again. Of course, their fighting power cannot be underestimated.
Many of Xiong Hanzhong's men were experienced bandits, so the outcome of the battle was decided in less than an hour.
All of Gui and Fan's men died in front of Yuhua Mountain. Even a few soldiers who tried to surrender and save their lives were shot dead by Du Xian.
Gui and Fan were captured and set on fire in Hexi Town by Du Xianzhi.
Only after Gui and Fan were set on fire did people dare to bury the innocent dead on the riverbank.
More than a hundred new graves were added to the hills behind Hexi Town, and Hexi Town once became a desolate place.
Feng Tianyu, Qin Dagang and Myolie Wu attended the funeral. They were old enough to remember things, so the atrocities committed by the foreigners (Nationalist troops) were deeply engraved in their minds and could never be erased.
The three little kids lived a happy life under the careful care of their grandmother (grandmother).
In the first year, they were still young and their grandmother didn't let Feng Tianyu and Qin Dagang do farm work, so the three little kids played like crazy for a whole year.
Among the three, Feng Tianyu is the oldest and the most mischievous; but in front of Qin Dagang and Myolie Wu, he always appears as the older brother.
For example, when they went to the mountains to chop wood, he would finish first, then help Xing'er first, and then help Dagang. After all three of them were done, they would rest together!
For example, when they went to the creek to catch fish, he would be the first to go in. His hands were very deft, and he would pull out fish after fish, often making Xing'er giggle.
Qin Dagang was one year younger than him, but he was taller and stronger than him. He was particularly concerned about Xing'er, for example, when Xing'er couldn't carry the firewood, he would hang Xing'er's firewood on his own (Xing'er couldn't carry much anyway).
After all, my grandmother was in her early sixties and not in good health. Coupled with the sorrow of losing a loved one, she fell ill within a year.
When a person is too sad and falls ill, the disease will come on violently. In less than half a year, Mrs. Hu passed away.
The three children became orphans with no one to take care of them.
At that time, the people lived a very hard life. They could only squeeze out a little from each family to help the three orphans and prevent them from starving to death.
Mrs. Hu said: Heaven is unfair! Heaven is unfair!
One day, a man came down from Yuhua Mountain. He found the head of the Hu family and said to him: The damn Du Xianzhi is blinded by money and wants to sell the three orphans to human traffickers.
The Hu clan leader was helpless and could not watch Du Xianzhi sell the three orphans to human traffickers. Who dared to stop Du Xianzhi from doing what he wanted to do? And who could stop him?
We must find a solution quickly.
Someone gave the Hu clan leader an idea: he could let the three of them be taken away by their relatives.
This is called "dispersed transfer".
It is also called “many hands make light work.”
The Hu clan leader thought this was a good idea. After all, it was a hundred times better to have the child taken away by relatives than to sell him to human traffickers.
The Hu clan leader spread the news.
Unfortunately, after a few days, no relative came to claim the child.
Later, someone revealed that the three families all had relatives, but none of them dared to come forward because they knew the consequences of going against Du Xianzhi.
They could only watch Du Xianzhi sell the three orphans to human traffickers.
One morning, a carriage came. In addition to a driver, there was also a rider on a black horse.
The man riding the black horse wore a black hat, a black suit, and a pair of black riding boots. He looked very handsome. Overall, he looked like a very handsome "knight".
The "knight" introduced himself: My name is Lin Xiner, and I am the cousin of these three little boys.
It turns out that she is a female "knight".
The Hu clan leader couldn't believe it. What if he was not a relative but a human trafficker? He asked the Hu clan members, but no one had seen him.
When asked again, Qin Dagang said he had never seen such a relative. Then Feng Tianyu said he had seen this female "knight" when he was five years old. His parents received her.
What you said makes sense.
A five-year-old should be able to remember things. What Feng Tianyu said should be true.
So the Hu clan leader prepared to let this "cousin" take her away. There was no other way!
My cousin was a very righteous person. She took out a hundred dollars and asked the chief of the Hu clan to pay for the burial of Mrs. Hu. The rest was distributed among the Hu clan members to thank them for their care for her three cousins.
Seeing this, the Hu clan leader had no choice but to accept it. He had this idea that if Du Xianzhi didn't let the three kids go and wanted him to take responsibility, he could just use the money to deal with it, and it would also be a way to save himself.
So, the three little boys got on the carriage. The female "knight" clasped her hands, said to the clan leader, "See you later," and followed behind the carriage.
