Disasters always become a turning point in a person's life.
The following year, Jingzhe.
"Second brother, how should I twist here?" Zijuan tied her long black hair behind her with a rope, looking capable, holding a small spear in her hand. She was obviously still in the late spring cold, but she was already sweating.
"Your body is more flexible than me, so you should try this."
Xiang An turned around suddenly, his gun was faster than a man, and he suddenly pierced the wooden stake behind Xiang An, piercing the head of the wooden stake directly through.
Xiang Yu sat on the edge of the martial arts venue, holding his chest and nodded silently.
Xiang An's retaliation was getting more and more fierce.
"Second brother, handsome!" Zijuan gave Xiang An a thumbs up.
"Practice more, it's not easy to understand the gun. You have to work harder." Xiang An pulled out his spear from the wooden stake and touched the wooden stake's head.
"Yes!" Although Xiang An's words were a little harsh, they did not hit Zijuan's enthusiasm.
"But...Ahua, why do you want to practice martial arts?" Xiang An's expression was a little curious.
Zijuan, who was poking at the wooden stake with a gun, stopped and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
Her expression was not sad, but firmly.
"... When our village was hit by earthquakes and mudslides, it was my elder brother and second brother who saved me." Zijuan lowered her head and looked at the gun in her hand.
Xiang An did not answer, but just looked at Zijuan quietly.
"Grandpa is dead, father and mother are dead, and A Shu is dead." Even though she is strong, Zijuan still shed tears. Her hand holding the gun is trembling slightly, but she talks about the extremely cruel reality for herself.
"If it's not for luck, I must have...."
"Stop talking." Xiang An squatted down, hugged Zijuan, stroked Zijuan's head, "It's all over..."
"No, second brother, you misunderstood." Zijuan pushed Xiang An away, her eyes staying on the gun in her hand.
"The reason why you can stop the controlled Shanjun and rescue me from the ruins is because of powerful force." Zijuan is eight years old this year, but she said something very different from her eight-year-old.
"I will lose everything before, because I don't have the powerful force of my elder brother and second brother, so... in order to be able to keep everything now, I must make myself stronger!" Zijuan lowered her head, and Xiang An couldn't see her expression.
She gritted her teeth, her face was a little ferocious, her whole body was trembling, and tears flowed out of her eyes and fell to the ground.
"I have to, I have to..."
"Xiaojuan." He patted Zijuan on the shoulder with one hand.
"......ah?" Zijuan raised her head and met Xiang Liang's eyes.
"father?"
"Don't think so much." Gently stroked Zijuan's head, Xiang Liang's face had a gentle smile. Of course, Xiang Liang's face was already quite ingenious.
"...But!" Zijuan's eyes were still filled with tears, and her expression was a little fierce.
"Look at us, Xiaojuan." Xiang Liang grabbed Zijuan's shoulder with both hands, and behind him were the brothers Xiang Yu and Xiang An.
"We will support you, and you will not lose anything again, so... don't force yourself so much, okay?" Xiang Liang sighed and wiped away Zijuan's tears with a smile.
......
"Don't worry, little guy, there will be no problem in the future." Liu Ji rubbed the head of the little boy standing beside him and smiled.
"...I understand, Lord Liu." The little boy looked a little cold and just sat on a stool.
"I said don't call me Lord Liu..." Liu Ji sighed and scratched his head, "I can't raise you, I'm not married yet, I'll take care of my children or something..."
"So I can only ask the aunt from the other yard to take you first." After bounced Zi Huai's head, Liu Ji smiled, "You kid won't hold a grudge against me, right?"
"No, but you are the head of Sishui Pavilion, and it is natural to be called an adult." Zi Huai saluted slightly, "The aunt treats me very well, so Zi Huai thanks you very much."
"No matter what, living is a good thing." Liu Ji sat on the stone next to him, "After all, as long as people are still alive, they still have hope of hard work, right?"
"Yes." Zi Huai sighed coldly, sat next to Liu Ji, and looked at the sky silently.
Is it okay to be alive...
Grandpa, father, mother, sister Ah Hua...
Should I be the one who survived...
......
August.
Qin was still making progress, making Xiang Liang progress in despair.
Whether it is military power or the people's livelihood, it is developing in an orderly manner. Although there are occasional small frictions, it is harmless.
No other major events happened during this period. Xiang Yu and Xiang An were still angry every day. Zishu and Wu Juan remained high in blood pressure, while Zijuan worked hard in the martial arts field every day.
"Hey--!"
The spear head poked out and hit the wooden stake's body. The wooden stake was beaten in half with a "click".
Xiang Yu applauded and walked out from the side.
"Four days, I'm sure I've made a lot of progress than before."
"Brother..." Zijuan smiled while panting.
"Yeah, the well water is coming." Xiang An walked over with three bowls of cool well water, "Drink it quickly. It's hot summer now, and it's not good to have heatstroke."
"Thank you, second brother." Zijuan's eyes lit up, she responded casually, picked up the bowl and drank it clean, and then wiped the corners of her mouth.
"By the way, brother, have you heard of something?" Xiang An squatted on the weapon rack, but controlled his balance well and did not tilt the weapon rack.
"What's the matter?" Before Xiang Yu could finish drinking the well water, he glanced at Xiang An.
"Uncle San recently bought a horse, which is said to be a thousand-mile horse." Xiang An smiled, "But the horse is very fierce. Uncle San wanted to tame the horse, but he was directly thrown off. He is still lying on the bed!"
"Good guy!" Although Zijuan is a girl, she may be a little careless because she has been practicing martial arts for more than a year. In addition, she is a happy girl, so she looks a bit like a tomboy. "How are the third uncles?"
"I don't know." Xiang An shook his head, "But if you are all lying on the bed, it's probably a little bit of a problem."
"Xiang An, what you mean is..." Xiang Yu narrowed his eyes, with some interest in his eyes.
"Let's go and tame that horse!" Xiang An and Zijuan both came to Xiang Yu's side, "Anyway, Uncle San can't ride it, so you can't waste a good horse, right?"
Xiang Yu immediately stood up: "Let's go, let's go together!"
"Go quickly and go quickly."
"Oh, brother, second brother, wait for me."
Xiang Bo, who was lying on the bed and moaning, suddenly had a bad premonition and sneeze.
