In the last years of Da Yin, the world was in chaos. Gu Liao, the king of Zhenbei, raised his troops and went south, slaughtering the city all the way. Twelve cities descended in the wind, and the Xuanqi of a hundred thousand cavalry pointed directly at the last gap in the north - Yanhui.
Yanhui is just a small town with a population of 14,000 on the Jingshui River. It does not fall. Because the people in the city summed it up: if you surrender, you will die, if you don't surrender, you will die. It is better to die standing and leave a city that does not kneel to this rotten world.
So before the siege, the city had a particularly long period of "peace".
Chang Mao, who is on watch every night, watches the watch every night; Jiang Wan, who works at the medicine shop, believes that good people will eventually be rewarded; Xiaoman, the gang leader, dreams of opening a Shaobing shop every day; Gou Quan, the coward, hides two ounces of money close to his body, waiting to buy a new pair of shoes for his blind mother outside the city; Qin Zhi, the guard, takes his scar and becomes the father of every child under his command. Everyone is living their own life, and everyone has their own scale in their heart.
But in troubled times, one kind of justice always crushes another kind of justice. Good people are dragged into the abyss by kindness, city defenders are pushed into betrayal by "guarding", those who cherish their lives the most surrender their lives, and those who want to live the most end up dying for others.
The geese come back every year. But no one in this city came back.
——Only the city was not destroyed. It lives in a child, growing year after year.
