"What is this?" The Fifth Prince was a little confused. If he was pleasantly surprised that his junior sister had given him something just a second ago, he was now completely bewildered.
"This is a map of my village. The village chief gave it to me because he was worried that we wouldn't be able to get back after we came out. Behind this mountain is the ancient Qiang people, and it is through the ancient Qiang people that we can reach Tubo."
Year after year, everyone in this village works as porters, their lives hanging by a thread, a chance to rise to the heavens in a single step.
When the Fifth Prince heard this, he understood. He hadn't expected his junior sister to be assigned here. His elder brother was being a bit petty.
Back then, his junior sister was also caught in a situation against her will, and he still can't let go of her after all these years. Of course, he can't let go either.
"Then I'll tell you all to leave?"
"Of course not. If we leave, what will happen to the villagers? If we leave, who will look after this place?"
You must understand that if we take a step back, they will take a step forward, and our land will belong to others.
Fifth Prince, you've lived in Xikang for so many years, haven't you noticed this problem?
Xikang is a very complex province because it is inhabited by Tibetans, ancient Qiang people, and another ethnic minority. They all live around Erlang Mountain. And on this side of the mountain is Mo Yan's village.
"Then what should we do?" The Fifth Prince was somewhat helpless. He hadn't expected that before they could even catch up, his junior sister would get down to business. "If you hadn't run into me, who would you have told these things to?"
“Magistrate, I will find you in two months, but instead I met you, and you just happened to say that I am still your junior sister.”
Senior brother, would you be willing...?
Before Mo Yan could finish speaking, the Fifth Prince spoke up.
"I'm willing." I'm willing to do anything, no matter what it is.
In fact, the Fifth Prince felt that his fiefdom was located here, which he believed was a sign of his elder brother's distrust of him.
But now he's even brought his junior sister here. Is he making room for his son? But isn't it a bit too early?
Keep in mind that he still looks quite energetic. He should be able to live for at least another ten or twenty years without any problem.
Mo Yan: "..."
“I want to build roads,” Mo Yan said directly. “My master once said, ‘To get rich, build roads first.’ To overcome this difficulty, we must build roads.”
If we don't repair it, our descendants will have to, so why not start sooner? Let the burden become a memory of our times.
“Alright, let’s build the road then. I’ll send someone to survey the terrain, and I’ll go myself. Junior sister, we’ll be working together again after all these years.”
Just like back then, they fought side by side and went through all sorts of things together.
"But junior sister, I've always wanted to ask you, back then..."
"Senior brother..." Mo Yan looked at the Fifth Prince and found him utterly ridiculous. "Wasn't it you who let go first?"
The original owner never loved that Nan Dahuo. To put it bluntly, they had never even met, so how much love could there be?
Her sacrifice for the South China Sea fire was nothing more than a performance, but as the performance went on, it became real, and she had long forgotten her original intentions.
The original owner was never favored. Whether it was his father or his senior brothers, in their hearts, there was only the game of strategizing with the world as the chessboard.
The original owner's father believed that the original owner would cause the emperor and the fifth prince to kill each other, so he married the original owner off under the pretense of being drunk.
The emperor and the fifth prince tacitly agreed that the original owner of the body had been drugged.
From then on, she acted as if she had no family, neither asking for help nor wanting to go back.
That man, that father of hers, for the sake of the world, for the common people, for his two students, he truly went to great lengths. He was willing to sacrifice his own daughter.
The Fifth Prince and the Emperor thought the original owner would run away, but she didn't.
They eventually accepted it by default.
“We’re not children anymore. We’ve all left our grandparents behind. It’s a bit ridiculous to talk about the past.”
Now I also want to have the world in my heart, for the sake of all living beings, isn't that good?
However, she wouldn't sacrifice others for the sake of the common people; if anyone should be sacrificed, it would be the Fifth Prince, wouldn't it?
He relinquished the relationship back then for the sake of his grand plan.
The Fifth Prince fell silent after hearing this. Yes, it was his fault, his very fault.
"Junior sister is right." They're all getting old; talking about the past is too sentimental.
"After you've read this, you can send someone to find me. We'll be leaving now."
Mo Yan walked past the Fifth Prince.
"What are you doing this for?" He didn't believe in anything about the common people!
"In order to live more comfortably in the future, I later learned that one cannot live for others, but must live for oneself, and only then can one be happy."
While I was in that village, I had to think about my future safety.
Mo Yan's icy tone silenced the Fifth Prince.
The family bought what they needed and then went home.
On the way back, no one spoke.
Mr. Gao was very curious, but he also knew he shouldn't be.
So none of them asked.
After returning home, Mo Yan had them take out the meat and cook a sumptuous meal for everyone.
With the kang (heated brick bed) in place that night, everyone slept very comfortably.
Seeing the effect of the kang (heated brick bed) in Mo Yan's home, everyone in the village made the same one.
The snow started falling again the next day, and Mo Yan asked them to organize all the things she had bought.
Mo Yan took her two sons and went with the villagers to survey the surrounding terrain.
Mo Yan unexpectedly discovered yams and kudzu roots. Just as she was about to have her two sons dig them up, the villagers spoke up.
"These are inedible. One will make your hands itch so badly you'll want to scratch yourself to death after you dig it out, and the other will make you foam at the mouth after you eat it."
The villagers would try anything, otherwise there wouldn't be enough food, but these two kinds of food were really inedible.
"That's because you haven't found the method. You two hurry up and come with me to dig."
Mo Yan and her two sons dug up the yams and kudzu roots. Actually, it was because she had good eyesight; at this time of year, the yams had no leaves left, just a vine, and the kudzu roots were in the same condition.
After digging it out, they prepared to go back. The two sons understood how dangerous this place was. The humorous road could only be crossed by hugging the cliff, and they dared not go across it at all.
This place is really scary.
When they returned home, the cotton-padded coats had already been made, and the women were also planning to make purses, so at least they could earn some money.
The granddaughters are in charge of cooking, and now they have to learn to do everything themselves.
After reading it, the Fifth Prince thought about going to find Mo Yan, but he learned that the mountain was closed due to snow and he could not get there.
If you want to go there, you can only wait, wait a few months.
Even when it snowed, Mo Yan and the others didn't stay idle. They followed the villagers to make traps, sent their two sons hunting, and had their granddaughters learn to do chores.
Mo Yan was going to continue exploring the terrain, and the villagers also had a guard team to patrol. Without hesitation, Mo Yan sent her two sons and grandson with her.
As for Wang and her son, they ran away last night.
