Exile

Spring swallows return to their nests in the woods, but the swallows in the world cannot find their way home. The war was raging and the bones were exposed. Gongshi Dong picked up a girl among the mountains of corpses and sea of ​​blood. The girl was all white, even her eyelashes were white. She looked like a jade-carved Bodhisattva in the moonlight. She opened her lavender eyes and asked him: "Are you here to save me, or are you here to eat me?" In his eight hundred years of life, Gongshi Dong was asked this question for the first time. Later he learned that there was a kind of person in the world who was born called "Bai Zi". They are not monsters, they are living sacrifices in the year of disaster. Spring swallows return to their nests in the trees. They don't know that the forest is gone. Last winter, the army and the rebels fought on this hillside for three days and three nights. The pine trees were burned to charcoal, and the charcoal was blown away by the wind, leaving only black ash on the ground. Spring is here, and the grass emerges from the ashes. It is thin and yellow, as if it has been hungry for a long time, and even the green is no longer green. The swallows circled on the black gray, once, twice, three times. The nest they built here last year was in a tree. When the tree disappeared, the nest was gone. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
