No Freedom

This is a story that happened deep in my mind... The two children walked through battlefields strewn with corpses, through swampy forests, and over rugged mountains, just to get a glimpse of Chang'an, which the old man had talked about before his death. "Little one, how can you run away from home and wander around the world without learning a trade? Ha! You will starve to death on the way. Do you know how expensive the things in that place are? You can't even afford the shit of a noble person. If you don't memorize the Huangdi Neijing by heart today, no one can save you." The old man fawned over the grandma while following her in the yard, turning around and cursing from time to time... This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
