Synopsis
Following the Feng Dynasty to the parallel end of the Han Dynasty when the Yellow Turban first emerged, the pawnshop system in troubled times is bound to the pawnshop system. The iron law is clear: only pawn the life-long obsession and never trade personal freedom. Death is a lottery, which only relieves the mental prison of self-conflict for half a lifetime. It does not change the memory, does not erase the person's character and stance, does not let down the humanity, and can come and go as he pleases. Chen Gong traveled all over Jiuzhou to draw a map of disasters, and discovered in advance that the Yellow Turbans were coming to chaos. All the officials and families in the world laughed at the falsehood. Only the successor took the charcoal: I believe in your prediction. Chen Dao, a Hanmen tiger general in Yingchuan, was the best in his hometown for his bravery in charging and breaking through the formation. However, when the aristocratic family withheld food, grass and armaments, when the Yellow Turban broke out, he had no fists to protect his neighbors, and he spent the rest of his life trapped in the self-remorse of being unable to save the world. The reclusive Wu family in Mount Tai abides by the ancestral precepts of thousands of years of hiding from the world. The people of the clan have their own shackles: Wu Xing, the most senior clan elder, is proficient in water conservancy and farming, and has the ability to calm the people and help the world, but he can only watch the flow behind closed doors. The people died of starvation everywhere, and all their unique knowledge was useless; the patriarch Wu Cang, as the leader of the clan, abided by the ancestral rule that "the Wu family will not be in charge of the army or be an official" throughout his life. He dared to raise his clan to fight, but watched his loyal servant die for his only son. He could uphold the ancestral etiquette, but could not save the lives of his people; Wu Cang's son Wu Xu grew up with his cousin Wu Meng. Wu Xu had the talent of a commander, but was trapped by the ancestral rules and was unable to protect his home; Wu Meng was good at coordinating materials and resettling refugees, but had no say in the clan and could only watch the fleeing people being displaced. Yuexian, a lone medical doctor in troubled times, travels all over the mountains and fields to save lives and heal the wounded, but she cannot survive the disasters in troubled times and save all the dead souls everywhere; the orphan, the third child, has been wandering around since childhood, longing for a stable home all his life. Nine people gathered in the deep valley of Mount Tai to build the pawnshop's first temporary refugee ark, which was the original foundation of Wubao. In the following years, defeated troops, traitors, frustrated generals, down-and-out counselors, homeless farmers, and people fleeing from the south and north of the Yangtze River took the initiative to surrender in the valley. Group after group of people pawned their obsessions and joined Wubao. The narrow valley gradually formed a contiguous network of temporary settlements in Wubao covering the northern mountains and wilderness, and only accommodated stateless refugees. Advisers predicting troubled times, tiger generals who regret losing their homeland, Wu clan members who are trapped in the ancestral teachings, medical girls who cannot be saved, homeless orphans, generals and counselors who are burdened with the past, and thousands of ordinary people who have no choice but to find a safe place to return to that they can protect and follow their hearts. The aristocratic family slandered her for her trickery and deceiving the world, the officers and soldiers suspected that she was secretly hiding her life, and the Yellow Turban hated her for sheltering refugees. Only the thick cloth unmarked flag sewn at Taniguchi's layers proves that the nine founders carved their own unique marks, and later countless followers added weapons, farm tools, vegetation, and simplified marks. All the people in the world have abandoned themselves in the troubled times, but this pawnshop takes them all in. Death is a lottery, the internal friction of obsessions is over, this life is worth living, and you can come and go freely. Purpose: 2. The core of governing the world: Stability in troubled times does not depend on seizing power, conquering, and enslaving people. Equality, coexistence, and mutual support among refugees are the eternal peace that the people at the bottom truly long for;
