Guan Yifei and Xie Yuan both looked at him, but Shen Liuzhen just held his sleeves and looked at the sky, with no sad expression on his face... Xie Yuan and Guan Yifei didn't know what to say for a while.

Shen Liuzhen felt the silence of the people around him, turned to look at them, and instantly knew what they were thinking, so he said calmly:

"What are you looking at me for?...Because I haven't seen it before and have nothing to recall, so why should I be sad?"

Guan Yifei was a little moved when he heard this. He also looked at the sky like him, as if he was remembering something. After a while, he said:

"According to what you said, I can't tell whether I am lucky or unlucky for a moment."

He paused and said: "...I am a bastard."

Both Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen looked a little unnatural. Xie Yuan said hesitantly: "...Isn't this what those people scolded you that day? Why did you say that about yourself?"

"...It's a curse word, but it's also true. My mother is from Northern Yi, and her parents were Hu people who migrated south following the Jin Dynasty's policies. I heard from her that the Central Plains was rich and prosperous, and the Hu people who migrated from the north at that time Most of the people worked as slaves for the Han people. Therefore, the Hu people were inherently despicable in the eyes of the Han people.

Although the law does not say that intermarriage between Han and Hu is prohibited, it is almost impossible. The best treatment for a Hu woman is to be a dancer or concubine for a Han man."

As he spoke, a proud smile appeared on his face, and he recalled:

"But my father and my mother really love each other. My mother said that my father is a very kind-hearted person. He does not treat others differently because they are barbarians. He is equally polite to everyone.

One day, my mother and my grandfather were pulling a cart of black charcoal. While we were walking on the road, the cart overturned and half of the car fell off. At that time, people walking on the street were not sure whether they disliked the dirty charcoal or disliked the lowliness of the foreigners. The only one who helped was my father. He passed by and straightened the half-overturned car, and also helped pick up the scattered charcoal.

He left after picking it up, but my mother remembered him. Whenever she had free time, she would wait on the street that day, hoping to see if she could run into him again.

Later, she was made to wait for a year before she finally met him walking down the street that day. My mother said that she was so excited that she was so excited that she could hardly breathe. She just stood there, stupidly. He stared at my dad. He looked at me inexplicably.

So my dad walked over to her and asked her with a smile, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

My mother waited for a long time, and naturally thought about it countless times in her heart, what should I say if we see each other again. All she could think of was to say, thank you for helping us carry the car and collect the charcoal that day, thank you Such nice people and so on.

But she was so excited that she was afraid that he would leave and never see him again next time.

Somehow, I blurted out, "Lang Jun, I've been waiting for you for a year."

…My dad was stunned at that time.”

Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen smiled unconsciously as they listened. Xie Yuan smiled and said:

"Your mother is still telling you this? How nice. My parents never tell me about their relationship, but maybe there is nothing to say. They were married by the orders of their parents and the words of a matchmaker. They got married. I have never met each other before, not as good as your parents... um..."

Her eyes rolled to one side, but she couldn't think of any good adjectives.

Shen Liuzhen took the words with a smile and said, "...so warm."

"Yes, yes... Xie Yuan quickly echoed, and turned to Shen Liuzhen and gave him a rather fond smile.

Shen Liuzhen suddenly felt a little embarrassed: A Yuan often disliked him, but this was the first time that he looked up to him because of his merits.

He was secretly happy here, but Xie Yuan's mind and eyes had long returned to Guan Yifei and asked:

"What happened next?"

Guan Yifei smiled bitterly and said: "Then we naturally got married. My father had no father or mother at that time. Fortunately, he didn't have to worry about filial piety. He just went against the eyes of the world and resolutely got married to my mother. We were married by a matchmaker and registered in the household registration.

In fact, when my father was alive, they never told me what happened between them, but later, when my father died, she often thought of him, so she always told me about these things..."

After saying this, Guan Yifei's face showed a nostalgic smile, and there were faint tears in his eyes:

"When she talks about him to me, she always smiles and talks about my dad over and over again, how they looked when they first met, and how she felt after waiting for him for a year. Tell me how handsome my father looked when he walked toward her..."

When tears were about to burst out of his eyes, Guan Yifei sniffed and swallowed all the tears in his eyes. Then he lowered his head, covering up the sadness on his face, picked up a stone and started scribbling on the ground. explain:

"Hey, it's a pity that good people are not rewarded. Later, it seems that a Hu general rebelled against the Han people and started fighting and killing people everywhere. Hu people killed Han people, and Han people killed Hu people. They were regarded as incompatible with water and fire.

One of my parents is a Han, and the other is a Hu. They usually suffer from the looks of contempt from both the Hu and the Han. When a war breaks out, there will be no way to survive.

When the barbarians invaded the city, they dragged my father to death with a horse in front of my mother. When the Han people came back, they vented their anger and killed my mother...I was still young at the time and had my face painted, so I couldn't tell. Whose people are they, who luckily took advantage of the chaos and escaped?"

Xie Yuan frowned and suddenly felt his eyelids sting...

Although Guan Yifei said the ending in such plain words, it was hard to accept.

It was so warm and beautiful just a moment ago, why is this happening?

Shen Liuzhen was also shocked... He had read about this period of history in history books. It was an extremely tragic period of history. However, no matter how tragic the words in the history books were, he still felt distant and had no real feeling.

He even saw it and put it behind him without causing any disturbance.

But now after listening to Guan Yifei’s words, I realized...

The so-called "more than a million casualties"... Those who died were all living people with stories and families...

In particular, Guan Yifei's parents were both kind-hearted ordinary people, but they died in the long-standing hatred between the Hu and Han tribes...

This shouldn't be the case.

When Guan Yifei turned around and saw their painful and shocked expressions, he suddenly smiled and said:

"You two are good. You didn't bully me because of my appearance. You are like my father, a kind-hearted Han Chinese. There are not many such people."

He paused and then said:

"In fact, sometimes I resent them. If only they were all Han or all Hu, I wouldn't have to carry the identity of a bastard and be looked down upon by others, causing the Hu and Han people not to want to see me. In that case, Maybe they can still be alive..."

Shen Liuzhen knew that at that time, the two sides fought back and forth, and so many people were killed and injured, and no one on either side would have an easy time...

Thinking of this, he raised his eyes and looked towards the north... For the first time, he felt something different about war - something very disgusting.
