Shui Xinyue glanced at the plateau again, and then said: "Our hometown is a small mountain village in the west of Zhao Kingdom, and our parents are ordinary farmers. But Qin and Zhao fought fiercely, and then the Qin army fought there, so the vicinity of the village became the battlefield of Qin and Zhao, and our village and the village also changed hands back and forth between Qin and Zhao, even we don't know, since Si belongs to the people of that country, sometimes the Zhao army comes, sometimes the Qin army comes, they will collect grain and taxes from our village, and sometimes they will levy conscription, and because of the war every year, there is no way to farm well, and the life of all the families in the village has become very difficult, sometimes there is no food to eat for several days, It was also a common occurrence that people in the village often starved to death, and there were eight children in our family, but when I left, I had only five children left, and the other three were all starving to death. At that time, not only my family, but also other families in the village, as well as other nearby villages, were similar, so I took this life for granted. ”

Gao Yuan once heard Li Mu say that he found the young Li Yinghong in an abandoned village, when all the people in that village died in the war, and the houses were almost destroyed, and even Li Yinghong was dying at that time, Li Mu almost thought that she was also a dead person, probably the village that Shui Xinyue said.

"When I was six or seven years old, I had to go to the mountains every day to dig weeds, pick wild fruits, catch fish, and even hunt to maintain the family's life, Yinghong is the youngest daughter in the family, probably she and I are more compatible, so my favorite brother and sister is her, and Yinghong also likes to pester me since childhood, when I was two or three years old, she went out with me to find something to eat, sometimes I will dig up the weeds, pick the wild fruits to her secretly first eat, the result is to bring home less things, although my parents love us very much, but will still blame me, But I was willing. I remember one time, I grilled a fish I caught for her to eat, and I didn't take anything home, and my parents punished me for not being allowed to eat dinner, but when I went to bed at night, Yinghong secretly stuffed half of the fish she saved to me, and the two of us hid under the quilt and ate the half of the fish. ”

Although Shui Xinyue's tone was very calm, Gao Yuan listened to it with compassion, he couldn't imagine that Shui Xinyue and Li Yinghong would have such a hard time when they were children, just listening to Shui Xinyue talk about it, it made people feel sad, as Shui Xinyue said, I don't remember what happened when I was a child, but it was a lucky thing.

Shui Xinyue then said: "Not long after that, a few people came to the village, probably a small official of Zhao State, but in our village, it was a great person, but the official at the head proposed to my parents to buy me as his daughter at the price of five buckets of millet, although my parents were reluctant, but they still agreed, which was also a matter of necessity, because at that time, our family had been out of food for two days, and just starved to death a younger brother, if there is no food, there will still be people in the family who will starve to death, five buckets of millet, It's enough for our family to survive for three or four months, and staying at home is a dead end anyway, so it's better to exchange a daughter for food that can save the whole family, and I will be better off if I am adopted by that official than at home! No matter which parent it is, I believe they will make the same choice, and it is the absolutely right choice. There was nothing wrong with my parents, and I didn't refuse, so I got into the official's carriage and followed him out of my hometown, and Yinghong chased after the carriage, crying and screaming, until she was thrown far away by the carriage, until she could not see her for it. ”

Gao Yuan's heart sighed secretly, he could basically guess the plot behind it, there are not many kind-hearted people like Li Mu, with Shui Xinyue and Li Yinghong's current appearance, Shui Xinyue at the age of nine should already have the appearance of a little beauty, so the purpose of that little official is not difficult to guess, if it weren't for Li Yinghong who was only five years old at the time, I'm afraid even Li Yinghong would have taken it away.

Looking at the appearance of the plateau, Shui Xinyue smiled faintly and said: "You have already guessed it, for a poor girl who has never known her, the person who saved her from poverty does not exist, Li Mu may be one, but a good person like Li Mu is something that can be met but not sought, but I don't have anything to complain about, because if I stay at home, I will still starve to death sooner or later, so even if he has other goals for me, this is also a matter of course, before leaving home, my mother will sue me, when I grow up, I was only nine years old at the time, but I didn't understand these things, and I even decided in my heart that when I grew up, I would definitely serve him well, but unfortunately, he didn't wait for me to grow up. ”

Gao Yuan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but say, "What? You were only nine years old! ”

Shui Xinyue's tone was still calm, as if she was just telling a story, not talking about herself, and said, "Do you think it's strange? It's hard for you not to know that there is a kind of person who has such a hobby, but he likes little girls. If it weren't for the fact that he was in too much of a hurry at the time, and before he could get home, he wanted to do something to me halfway, and it was still in the carriage, maybe there would have been no follow-up, and I might have been tortured to death by him, or maybe he would have passed me on to someone else after he got tired of playing with me, and my fate was decided from the time my parents sold me the five buckets of millet. ”

Gao Yuan smiled bitterly and muttered in a low voice: "Lori, Wild, Che Zhen, it seems that this guy's taste is not ordinary." ”

Shui Xinyue said: "What are you talking about?" ”

Gao Yuan hurriedly snorted two haha and said, "It's nothing! Nothing! You go on, go on. ”

Shui Xinyue glanced at him again and continued: "If I had been fifteen years old at that time, of course I would have obeyed him, even if it was in the wilderness, even if it was in the carriage, because I was bought by him with five buckets of millet, and from a certain point of view, I am a thing that belongs to him. It's a pity that I was only nine years old at that time, and I still had an instinct to resist this kind of thing, so I fought desperately, and even jumped out of the carriage and ran away, but a nine-year-old girl, no matter how she ran, could not escape from an adult, not to mention that he had several subordinates, as a result, I was caught by them, tore off my clothes, and pressed to the ground, and I gave up resisting, ready to bear this qiē, but at this time, a man appeared, killed all his men, and pulled him away from me, until today, I still remember the first time he appeared in my eyes, dressed in black, with long hair, standing in a carriage, holding a halberd in his hand, with his back to the sun, and his face could not be seen clearly......

Gao Yuan said: "Is it Han Teng?" ”

Shui Xinyue nodded, and continued, "Yes." ”

Gao Yuan was a little surprised, he didn't expect Han Teng to still have this side, and he would actually uphold justice, punish evil and promote good, so he really didn't see it.

"It must be because God has pity on me, a helpless and poor little girl, so he was sent to save me,—— when I was in the village, I heard the old people tell such a story, God sent gods to the lower realm, to save the weak, to uphold justice for the world, it turns out that these are real things, I did think so at that time, aren't you ridiculous."

Gao Yuan shook his head and said, "No, I can imagine that in that situation at that time, if anyone else changed, they would have the same thoughts as you, it was Han Teng who saved you and brought you back to the Jiuli Clan." ”

Shui Xinyue said lightly: "He didn't save me, in fact, my idea at that time was really ridiculous, because just a moment later, this idea was completely shattered." Han Teng didn't save me, after he pulled that person away, he just threw a short sword in front of me and said to me, 'I won't save you, this is a world where the weak eat the strong, only the strong can survive in this world, you are bullied, not because you are poor, you are young, you are a woman, but because you are weak, even if I saved you this time, at the same time, I can't change this law of survival, the only way to save you is to make yourself stronger, Otherwise, you can only accept your fate', the stories told by the old people are not like this, is it? ”

Gao Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "This is like Han Teng's style, but it's still a little too cruel to let a nine-year-old girl do such a thing." ”

Shui Xinyue said: "This is not cruel, because what he said is the truth, the current world is indeed a world of the weak and the strong, the thief is punished, and the thief is the candidate, it is because those who can steal the country are the strong, so they can survive in this world, and they can also control the fate of most people, aren't you the most typical example?" What will fall from the sky, but it is all a deceptive trick, you can fight a piece of the world from your bare hands, just because you are strong, if you are weak, you don't know how many times you have died. ”

As she spoke, she pulled out a short sword, pointed at the plateau, and said, "From the time I picked up this sword, I understood this truth, at that time, no one came to save me, and no one would save me, and the only thing I could rely on at that time was this sword." ”

Chunyu Zhongxiu and the others watched from a distance, but they couldn't hear them talking, they only saw Shui Xinyue pointing at the plateau with a sword, and they were all startled, thinking that they were turning their backs, so Chunyu Zhongxiu hurriedly pulled Luo Huan and Jiang Mingxia behind him and was on guard. However, the two did not fight, and after a while, Shui Xinyue put away the sword again, and seemed to continue talking, and a few people were a little relieved.
