Wen San'er

Chapter 8

Chapter 62 Gone

In the spring when San'er was 19 years old, he left Mangshan Mountain. After going down the mountain, he returned home, and the first "person" to greet him was his father's tablet.San'er was just like that, looking straight at the words on the wooden sign, plopped down on his knees and kowtowed three times.When Liu'er came back from the outside, what he saw was a dusty man, kneeling in front of the memorial tablet, and the moment he turned around, Liu'er saw his long-dead brother, standing there with tears streaming down his face in front of them.

As for why he came back from the dead, San'er didn't explain too much to Liu'er, but said that he was robbed that day, Chengyu and the bandits thought he was dead, but he was rescued by an old farmer who lived in seclusion in the mountains by luck, Rest and recuperate so far.He didn't want to tell Liu'er what had happened to him. After all, Liu'er was just an ordinary farmer, knowing that he might not understand it, and it wouldn't do him any good.He told Liu'er that he didn't want to stay in Ganzhou to continue living, but wanted to go to the north to survive, and asked Liu'er if he would.The boy who was only 13 years old but already strong enough to support a family thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

On the tenth day of the fourth lunar month, the first king died, and King Rong ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.A few days later, the Li family and the Zeng family in Ganzhou joined forces with several bandits to rebel, among them were Ren Changfeng and the Mang bandits.On April [-]th, Li Chengyu, king of Hongnan, was captured by rebels to threaten the emperor.Four days later, Li Chengyu died in the camp of the rebels. It is not known whether the rebels failed to coerce him or the emperor gave up his son.Two days later, San'er heard the news. He didn't sleep that night, his eyes were bloodshot, and he sat at the corner of the street and burned paper all night.

Beginning in May, the anti-king army marched northward, and cities were captured one after another.In September of the same year, the rebellion against the king failed and Jiangning was besieged. The rest of the people were either killed for resisting or captured and beheaded by Ling Chi.When San'er heard about this from Liu'er, she was busy packing her moving luggage, she was so startled that she didn't hold on to the cloth shoes in her hand, and fell to the ground with a slap, and when Liu'er picked up the shoes in surprise, she got up At that moment, I saw the back of my brother running out.

Uncle Wang was having dinner at home when the door was knocked open from the outside with a bang, and the reckless young man who opened the door and barged in was San'er who had already arrived at the foot of Mang Mountain but didn't know the way up the mountain.Uncle Wang put down his bowl and chopsticks in surprise, turned around and quickly picked up the bench, acting as a defensive gesture.

"Who are you looking for?"

San'er looked at the old man's vigilant posture, and realized that he had lost his composure. He straightened his clothes subconsciously, and said in a panic, "You are old man Wang, right? I'm looking for you... I, I want you to tell me, Shangmang mountain road."

Uncle Wang was startled when he heard this, and looked at the young man vigilantly, but he seemed unwilling to help.

"I'm old and I can't go up the mountain anymore, so go find someone else."

While speaking, he gestured to push San'er away, but instead, San'er grabbed his arm and pulled it recklessly and forcefully.

"Old man, you know that no one else knows the way to this village except you to deliver food to Mangshan. Please tell me and help me, my friend is on the mountain..."

As San'er spoke, he conveniently pulled the old man's arm and knelt down with a bang.

"Who is your friend?"

"Ren Changfeng."

The old man sighed and shook his head.

"Then there is no need to go up the mountain. There are no men on the mountain, and the women, children, old and young have already moved away. Why do you go up the mountain?"
