On the night of March 18th in the 17th year of Chongzhen, Princess Zhaoren died under the sword of her father.
When the sword fell, she heard the man choke and say: "Why did you give birth to my family?"
When she opened her eyes again, she was lying on the haystack of the ruined temple, covered in blood, but still alive. The eunuch who escorted her out of the palace had died. Before he died, he gave her a jade pendant: "Look for... Look for..."
She found a hunter in the mountains.
He is taciturn, has dark skin, his hands are covered with calluses, and he cannot even read a word. He saved her probably just because of the jade pendant - and a moment of compassion.
When the Qing soldiers came to chase her, it was he who carried her over the wall to escape.
In the vast rivers, they mingled among the refugees and begged for food; in the Southern Barbarians and Beidi, they hid in mountain villages and chopped firewood. When he taught her archery, he said, "What if I'm not here anymore?" She grabbed his sleeve and said, "You won't be here anymore."
Later, the anti-Qing rebels discovered her identity - the princess of Emperor Chongzhen, a living princess! They knelt before her and begged her to raise the Ming flag.
She looked back at the man who had been on the run with her for ten years.
He knelt down on one knee and performed a military salute: "Whatever you want to do, I will accompany you."
At that moment, she suddenly wanted to ask - Brother Ayan, who are you?
But she didn't ask in the end. No matter who he was, he was the one who carried her out of the dead in the past ten years. That's enough.
From then on, there were no more homeless orphans in the world. From then on, there was only the empress and the man beside her who was always silent.
——She only knows his last name? ? , But she didn't know that this "Brother Ayan", she could scream, but she couldn't.
Purpose: I spent my whole life answering my father's question, "Why were you born into my family?" - I was born in this troubled world not to survive, but to give people in this world a chance to breathe.
