Introduction to "Survival in Troubled Times"
Zhongzhou is the granary of the world. The five hegemons fought each other and exchanged their sons for food.
Yu Jianwei ran down the mountain secretly, just wanting to be a hero respected by thousands of people. But what she saw was not Jianghu. It's a black pot where human flesh is cooked in a refugee camp, and it's a world where a child is exchanged for half a bag of moldy rice.
She met the down-and-out scholar Xi Chenbi, who knew no martial arts and could only count grain; she met the peasant girl Gong Yisang, who held a hoe and could survive better than anyone else; she met the young general Ling Jueyun, who carried the broken green flag and refused to let the people kneel anymore; she also met Ji Xueshou, a swordsman who was always protecting her in the dark.
Five people set up a living tent in troubled times, guarded Bailu Fort, collected refugees, and opened up wasteland. He does not strive for the world, but only wants people to have porridge to drink, land to plant, and lamps to light.
But there is Shen Zhaotang in the north who uses people as food, and there is Nanxing in the south who hides murderous intentions. Bailubao became the last bone that refused to be broken under the sword of the Five Hegemons.
In troubled times, heroes don't stand on the top of the city to be remembered. He squatted in the mud, his hands were full of cuts, and he was willing to give the last half of the cake to the homeless people he didn't know.
Later, some people died in battle, some became kings, and some went into seclusion.
Only the Nanhe River is still flowing.
The old flag is still in the wind, as if saying:
With a porridge and a meal, think about your way of survival; with a piece of clothing and a hoe, don't forget to return to your family.
Intention: Real strength is not about fighting, but about surviving in troubled times.
