The night is dark and the wind is high!

Ancient trees, jackdaws!

"Qua, quack, quack..."

On the dead branches, a black shadow suddenly flapped its wings and flapped a few times, making the lonely dark night more and more cold.

At the end of the alley under the tree, someone curled up. An old man shook and hugged the little girl, his muddy eyes flashed with desire and hope. He hid at the entrance of the alley and did not dare to step out of the mine pool. There was a long street outside, and heavy footsteps were faintly heard.

"Grandpa, I'm hungry..."

The little girl in the old man's arms was having a fever. When she heard the footsteps, she muttered. The old man hugged the child hard and comforted him quietly: "Don't be anxious, there will be food soon. Grandpa has seen the figure of the soldier. They are walking towards this side."

The little girl opened her eyes hard and suddenly struggled to sit up. The old man quickly pressed her down and said with great distress: "Lying down and don't move. Don't sing music tonight. You are having a fever and can't blow the cool breeze."

However, the little girl had already struggled to sit up from his arms. Her sensible look made people feel sad. She coughed and said, "Grandpa, no, Nunu has to sing, otherwise she won't be able to earn a reward."

As he said that, he suddenly coughed violently, looked at the old man with anticipation, and said with difficulty: "Grandpa, will they give money tonight?"

Will you give money?

The elderly do not know the answer and cannot answer the children.

He could only try hard to lift his waist and help his granddaughter block the cool breeze in the alley. Unfortunately, his body was also very thin and he kept shaking when the cool breeze was blowing.

The girl fell asleep in a blink of an eye because of a violent cough. Her breath was very messy and her face was a bit red and hot.

There were still many dark shadows curled up in the depths of the alley, but when an old beggar was lying there, he suddenly said with difficulty: "Zhao Lao Gan, you can't hold on like this anymore. You must go to the doctor tomorrow, otherwise Nu Nu will not last for two days."

The old man's eyes became even more turbid, and crystal tears slid down. He thrust his hunched back hard, hoping to help his granddaughter block more cool breeze.

Go to see a doctor?

It's not easy to talk about...

I don’t have money to eat, so where can I get money to get medicine?

The old beggar in the distance trembled and got up, and suddenly reached out and raised his hand to the side. But when he heard two crisp sounds, he threw out two copper plates.

The copper plate rolled on the ground a few times, and finally stopped by the crack of the rock on the ground. The old man turned his head in a daze, but found that the old beggar had curled up.

The old beggar is older than him and can't withstand the cool breeze, so after throwing the copper plate, he quickly curled up. The night was deep, but when the old beggar panted, he said, "I'm lucky today. I'll get two copper plates. I'll lend them to you first to help Nunu overcome the difficulties."

"Brother Sun, I...!"

The old man's mouth trembled a few times, tears flowing in his turbid eyes. He reached out and picked up the copper plate tremblingly, and his mouth was already choked and unable to make a sound.

The two copper plates are smooth and oily, which is clearly because they have been rubbed for many years. These two copper plates are not obtained by the old beggar, but are things from his hometown that he has retained for more than 20 years.

"Brother Sun, this copper coin..."

The old man trembled and spoke, but he didn't know how to continue.

The old beggar curled up and smiled, gasping for breath: "We are both Han people and we suffer together. Since we have returned to our hometown, there is no hope, what is the point of keeping two copper coins? Take it and go find a doctor for Nunu tomorrow. We have no hope, but the child may still have hope. Zhao Lao Gan, we must leave hope for the child!"

The old man held the copper plate tightly, and the turbid tears flowed more.

Gratitude, grief, sadness, despair, countless emotions fill the heart, only two copper plates with heat.

But, where can two copper plates afford a doctor?

The Goguryeo people have always exploited and oppressed them to the extreme. When the Goguryeo people went to see a doctor, they might only have a dozen copper coins, but if they wanted to get medicine, they would have to accept ten of you just for consultation...

Dang chang!

Dang chang!

Suddenly there was a sound on the ground, and it was very crisp in the cold night. I saw copper plates throwing from afar. Many people curled up in the alley were helping me.

One!

Two!

Three!

Ten...

There were so many copper plates, and gradually I had thirty or forty pieces.

Every copper plate is warm and each copper plate is smooth. These copper plates are not begging, but are clearly the spiritual sustenance of these people who are far away from their hometown.

They were not willing to spend their copper coins in the most difficult time, but now for the sick slaves, these fallen Han people have unearthed their help.

The person who threw out the copper plate curled up again, and only the gentle voice of encouragement remained in the alley, and they laughed and said, "Zhao Lao Gan, take it, Nu Nu must live, only by living has hope. We are afraid that we will not be able to do it, but the child should still have a chance. Maybe, she can go back to her hometown to take a look!"

One of them is the oldest, and he was breathing with a faint breath of death. He also threw out his copper plate and looked at the night sky with difficulty: "If the child has the opportunity to go back, he hopes to bring our ashes with him. Even if he dies in a foreign land, he also hopes that the fallen leaves will return to the roots. We Han people cannot be wandering ghosts. Even if they die, they want to go back and take a look..."

Zhao Laogan's face was covered in tears, and he collected all the copper plates. Then he hugged the granddaughter in his arms and murmured in a low voice: "Girl, remember, don't forget for the rest of your life, don't forget for the rest of your life."

It was getting deeper and the wind became colder. However, Zhao Laogan regained his confidence and felt that his granddaughter had hope of living.

This is the Shinmaru Castle in Goguryeo. Their curled alley is called Hannu Land. There were many such alleys before, but in recent years it has gradually decreased.

More than 30 years ago, Emperor Yang of Sui conquered Goryeo three times and recruited millions of people, but suffered a great loss. The army lost and died directly. The people who transported baggage became slaves. From then on, they suffered from Goguryeo's exploitation and countless people died every year.

For more than 30 years, almost two generations in ancient times. Zhao Laogan was still a middle-aged man when he came, but now he is old. His three sons died of exhaustion in Shinmaru Castle. Before his death, they could not even find a wrapped reed mat. They were carried out of the city and threw it into the mass grave to throw it away at will.

It's all sad to think about it.

Fortunately, God can occasionally open his eyes. His younger son and a female slave are married. Although the Nunu born is a girl, he has left a pure bloodline.

Nunu is Zhao Laogan's treasure and his last hope for survival in Goguryeo.

tap!

tap!

The sound of footsteps in the distance gradually approached, and Zhao Laogan's hunched body suddenly shook. He subconsciously hugged Nu Nu tightly and looked out of the alley with anticipation.

There is also a curfew in Xinmaru City. During the curfew, no one is allowed to go to the streets. The people on the street are all soldiers, and Sun Laogan is waiting for them to come with anticipation.

Finally, the soldiers patrolling the street approached.

"Generals..."

Sun Laogan hurriedly spoke, huddled far away at the entrance of the alley. He tried hard to please him, and said carefully: "Generals are tired of patrolling the streets, should you stop and rest? You can tell everyone a story so that the generals can relieve their fatigue after hearing it..."

Unfortunately, Zhao Laogan's pleading was exchanged for a scolding.

"Do you want to die?"

A soldier rushed over and punched and kicked Zhao Laogan, scolding and scolding: "Get away, believe it or not, just kill you. Grandpas are not in the mood tonight. Who wants to listen to your long-winded stories?"

While scolding, there was another punch and kick. Sun Laogan was beaten with blood on his face and tried hard to protect the slave in his arms with his hands.

"hey-hey!"

The soldier suddenly had a lewd light flash in his eyes, and his eyes stared at the Nunu in Zhao Laogan's arms, and said excitedly: "This little girl is good, just for the men to have fun."

As he said that, he suddenly took action and pushed Zhao Lao Gan to the ground fiercely, then pressed Nu Nu directly with both hands, and wanted to tear Nu Nu's clothes.

Zhao Laogan rushed over like crazy. He hugged the soldier's thigh tightly and begged: "General, please spare me, please spare me, my granddaughter is only twelve years old, she is still having a fever now. She will die if you do this..."

"roll!"

The soldier flew up and kicked Zhao Laogan hard on the temple. The force of this kick was heavy. Zhao Laogan suddenly fainted and fell down. The back of his head thumped at the entrance of the alley, and a blood burst out from his mouth and nose.

"unlucky!"

The soldier cursed and continued to tear Nu Nu's clothes again. At this time, several more soldiers came over and made a sound of evil owls. Some people had already started to take off their pants, clearly trying to act at the entrance of the alley.

"Damn it, you are beasts..."

The old men curled up in the alley were extremely angry. Many people got up and rushed towards this side. But those soldiers were not afraid and pulled out their waists and slashed them directly.

In an instant, several old men fell in a pool of blood.

The soldiers laughed wildly. The first slut had taken off their pants. At this time, Nunu had woken up in a drowsy sleep. Unfortunately, he was seriously ill and had no strength to resist.

The dirty things of the miscellaneous soldiers were exposed.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a loud noise from the dark night, but it sounded like thunder, as if the earth was trembling.

"What's going on? Did the Earth Dragon turn over?"

The soldier grabbed Nunu with both hands and subconsciously turned to listen.

Boom!

There was another loud bang.

Another wave of earth!

Then……

It's the third tone again!

The third loud noise finally made the soldiers discover where the sound came from. It turned out that the entrance of the alley here was not far from the city gate, and the huge city gate could be seen from a distance between the dark night and deep.

Three loud noises just now clearly came from the city gate.

"Enemy attack..."

Above the city, someone suddenly shouted wildly.
