Dongjun Gucheng, the beginning of spring.

After a misty spring rain, the bamboo leaves all over the mountain are verdant, and the bamboo shoots are sprouting tender tips.A boy in common clothes was carrying a bamboo basket, stepping on the wet and soft soil, digging young bamboo shoots along the road.Seeing that the back basket was almost full, the boy wiped off his sweat and could go home in a short time.

At this time, a familiar call came from afar. It was his mother calling him home from the foot of the mountain.So the boy put away his hoe and ran down the mountain happily.

Cooking smoke curled up, and the aroma of rice wafted from the hut.Before the boy reached the door of the house, he saw his elder brother waiting for him in front of the door.The elder brother always wears a green shirt, plain and gentle, but today he smiles a bit far-fetched.The carefree young man didn't notice it, and happily showed off today's harvest.

"This box of young bamboo shoots can be sold in the city tomorrow morning for [-] yuan."

Wei Shuyu didn't care about money, but asked his younger brother if he was tired, and carefully twirled the cocklebur from his robe.Every time my younger brother went to pick in the mountains, he would come back covered in these little thorns.

"Brother, you are so considerate. If I were a girl, I would rush to marry you!"

"It's too early for brother to get married. We'll talk about it when you grow up." In fact, he has already reached the age of marriage, but he has no energy to spare to take care of people other than his younger brother and mother.

After a while, my mother smiled and brought up the meals, which were all wild vegetables from the mountains, which were light and delicious.Occasionally, the younger brother would hunt one or two rabbits and pheasants back, so that the whole family could have a meal of meat.

"Brother, is there anything fun in the private school today?" Wei Nange asked while eating, gobbling it up, no matter what he ate, he ate deliciously.

"They're all silly kids, nothing fun to do."

The mother saw that the eldest son had no appetite, so she worried, "Is there something on Yulang's mind?"

Wei Shuyu shook his head, not wanting to worry his mother.He had just learned from the village chief that Duke Cao had recruited troops on a large scale again, this time even the remote Gucheng was not spared.Officers and soldiers will come to Gucheng to recruit people in two days, and every adult male must apply.

Their Wei family was originally a family of soldiers. Father and son have been soldiers for generations. Their ancestors cannot have household registration in counties and counties, and their status is even worse than that of the lowest civilians.After Wei's father was conscripted, he never came back.The mother took the two young sons to hide in Tibet, and finally hid in Gucheng after several twists and turns.

In order to get rid of the fate of being soldiers for generations, Wei Shuyu refused to practice martial arts, but picked up books.After studying hard for more than ten years, he has made some small achievements, but his status is so humble that he cannot enter the court.So he became a teacher in Gucheng, with a meager salary, but he was respected by others.

After dinner, Wei Shuyu and his younger brother went back to the room to wash up.Wei Shuyu carefully wiped his back with a towel as his younger brother squatted in the steaming wooden tub.Unknowingly, my younger brother has grown up so much. Although he is only 14 years old, he has the figure of an adult. He has caught up with his elder brother who is seven years older, and he is stronger and more vigorous.

"Brother, the water is a bit hot..."

"Ah...is it hot?"

Usually, the two brothers would take a bath together, making noises while washing. Wei Shuyu would always tell his younger brother how naughty the bad boys in the private school were, and they couldn't be taught.But today Wei Shuyu was absent-minded, when asked by his younger brother, he didn't answer a single sentence.

Wei Nange had a pure heart and didn't care about his brother's abnormality. After washing, he changed into clean clothes and dragged his brother to bed to rest.Elder brother has an elegant fragrance of ink, which he likes to smell the most, and he can fall asleep soundly every time as long as his elder brother is by his side.

Wei Shuyu looked at his younger brother in his arms, stroking his temple hair with his hands, and didn't close his eyes all night.He couldn't imagine that if he was conscripted to serve as a soldier, how would a weak woman and her younger brother survive in this troubled world?

After thinking about it, Wei Shuyu made a bold decision.

In the middle of the night, Wei Shuyu sneaked into the kitchen, picked up a kitchen knife, and mustered up the courage to chop off his own calf.He fell to the ground miserably, watching the blood gushing out, knowing that he must be crippled, he laughed happily.Those officers and soldiers would not recruit a cripple to serve as a soldier, as long as he can be with his family, he would rather be a cripple!

The next day, his family found out about his injury. Wei Shuyu lied that he had accidentally injured him. His mother and younger brother were heartbroken, and his younger brother even went to the mountain to collect medicine for him.

On the third day, the officers and soldiers came aggressively, checking the list door to door.All the adults in the village responded, and the old and weak, women and children in the family cried together.

When Wei Nange was changing his brother's dressing and bandaging, two officers and soldiers broke into the door. Seeing Wei Shuyu who was injured and lying in bed, he was very suspicious. After all, some people would pretend to be disabled in order not to join the army.

"I injured my leg at this time, what a coincidence?" The officers and soldiers looked at Wei Shuyu, and suddenly poked his wound with the handle of a knife, causing Wei Shuyu to cry out in pain, sweating profusely.

"Brother!" Wei Nange's heart ached terribly, seeing that the white cloth he had just put on was immediately stained red with blood, he was a little at a loss, and turned his head to glare at the officers and soldiers.

When the mother saw this, she knelt down and begged bitterly: "My son is weak, and now his leg is seriously injured. He is not expected to be a soldier at all! Please do me a favor and let my son go!"

The officers and soldiers didn't care about the women's words, but locked their eyes on Wei Nange, "This kid has a strong figure and a clear bone. He looks like a good embryo for a soldier!"

"Don't! The official is holding your hand high, the child is not yet fourteen, you can't enlist him!" The mother begged while grabbing the trouser legs of the officer and soldier, but was kicked away mercilessly.

Seeing his mother suffer, Wei Nange raised his fist and was about to strike, but was grabbed by Wei Shuyu.He looked into his younger brother's eyes and shook his head forbearance.They are just the lowest level of civilians, what qualifications do they have to fight against the ruler who is in charge of life and death?

Wei Shuyu tried to reason with the officers and soldiers, but the other party didn't have the patience to listen at all, and only uttered a harsh sentence: "Your family must produce one, or the whole family will be executed!"

In desperation, Wei Nange had no choice but to enlist in the army.

Wei Shuyu regretted it very much. If he hadn't intentionally hurt his leg, the person who died on the battlefield would not be his younger brother.It was his cowardice and selfishness that harmed his dearest relatives.

"Nango, brother, I'm sorry..."

"Stop talking, it's not my brother's fault."

Wei Nange forced a smile, and just went with the conscription team. Before leaving, he only said to his brother and mother: "I will definitely come back, wait for my reunion!"

But how many people fought back in ancient times?The mother washed her face with tears all day long, and became haggard and haggard day by day.Wei Shuyu was also depressed, and went back to the private school to teach on crutches.He often recited it, but he didn't know where he was reading, and his words were inconsistent, and he was ridiculed by a group of children.

Time flies, four years have passed in the blink of an eye, Wei Nange has never heard from him, and none of those who fought together have returned.

Wei Shuyu is 25 years old, his legs have been permanently disabled, and he still walks with a limp.But the mother was seriously ill, so she entrusted a matchmaker to match her son with a girl from the Zhang family in Lincun, hoping that he could leave a queen for the family.

He didn't want his mother to die with hatred, so he reluctantly agreed to the marriage.Not long after, the family received food and bank notes from officers and soldiers.It turned out that my younger brother was brave and good at fighting, and was promoted to Duke Cao's lieutenant general. He specially asked someone to send these things back all the way.

The mother and son looked out with joy, embraced and wept.As a result, her mother's condition improved, and Wei Shuyu politely declined the marriage.He planned to go to the battlefield to meet his younger brother. He missed him very much and wanted to see how heroic his younger brother was when he was an adult.

But the frontier battlefield, how could a commoner like him go there if he wanted to?

For two years, he has been looking for news about his younger brother, and every time he heard that Cao Jun was defeated, he was so worried that he couldn't sleep all night.His mother also passed away during this period, and his last wish was for him to find his younger brother and bring Erlang back to offer incense to her.

In the 18th year of Jian'an, the Ruxuwu war broke out, and Wei Nange's team seemed to be captured by the Wu army.

Wei Shuyu found an opportunity just at this time, and was called to become the counselor of King Wu, and was able to enter Stone City.But because of his humble background, he was squeezed out by many advisers, and no one wanted to talk to him.After inquiring for several days, there was no news about my younger brother.

However, it is reported that Cao Jun spies have been infiltrated in Stone City.King Wu was suspicious by nature, so he hosted a banquet for all the advisers and generals in the Stone Palace, and asked everyone to point out suspicious people on the spot.

Wei Shuyu sat in the corner, wearing a shabby square scarf and green shirt, which should have been the most inconspicuous.But at this Hongmen Banquet, someone pointed the finger at him!Innocent, he was dragged out on the spot. King Wu had no impression of him, so he drew his sword to take his head indiscriminately.He was frightened and slumped on the ground miserably, not knowing what kind of fate was waiting for him.

At this time, Wei Nange, who was disguised and mixed in the banquet, realized that the man in green shirt was actually his elder brother.Although he thought about it day and night, his elder brother was too thin at this time, and after another six years of separation, he hadn't recognized him at all before.

How could my elder brother, who was thousands of miles away, appear in this land of right and wrong? !

Seeing King Wu raise the sword and fall, Wei Nange rushed forward with his sword, and stabbed King Wu's chest with his sword.Everyone was caught off guard, Wei Shuyu suddenly got up and stood in front of King Wu.Only in this way can he gain the trust of King Wu, and only when he is respected can he find out the whereabouts of his younger brother.

But it was too late, the sword hit his heart, and blood spattered out.

"Brother!!" Wei Nange cried out heart-piercingly. He never expected that the reunion that he had been looking forward to for six years would be broken in such a way.

He tore off the disguise on his face, shouted his brother's name, and stretched out his hand to put him in his arms.But at this time, the surrounding soldiers had already killed them, and for a moment, swords, lights and swords were shadowed, shouting to kill.

When Wei Shuyu fell down, his hand unintentionally grabbed the gauze curtain, and the gauze curtain floated down to cover his face.He heard his younger brother calling him, he wanted to hold his younger brother tightly and say sorry, let's go home together, but he didn't have a chance to speak.

This nightmare is so real...

As a spy of Cao Jun, Wei Nange was not beheaded on the spot, but was taken to the dungeon and tortured to death.After his death, his soul turned into a ghost, and he was imprisoned in this dark underground palace forever, and he never saw the person who haunted his dreams...

Who would have expected that 500 years later, the two brothers would still meet in the form of ghosts, and the younger brother almost killed his elder brother by mistake again. Fortunately, God finally opened his eyes.

After hearing the story of the two brothers, Luo Yesheng was very moved, so he asked Yun Xiuli, "Is there any way to make them still be brothers in the next life?"

"It's simple, just say hello to the King of Hades." Yun Xiuli took out the divine book and wrote down his appeal on the page. But halfway through writing, he froze for a moment, crossed out the word "brother" and rewritten it as couple.In this way, the two can stay together forever in the afterlife and create a happy family again.

The two brothers looked at each other happily, and then bowed together to thank them.

At this moment, roars came from outside the dungeon.A few people hurried out to see, it turned out that the ghosts of those soldiers had killed them, and the army was advancing rapidly, like a black tide.

Yun Xiuli went forward to meet them, and pulled out the flag on his waist, trying to control them again.But the ghosts were even more bewildered and didn't listen to his instructions at all, so he had to draw his sword and fight recklessly.

Luo Yesheng was about to go to help, but Wei Nange stopped him, "Stop fighting, all the soldiers in Stone City are just waiting for a word."

So Wei Nange jumped onto a stone house, waved a flag and shouted loudly: "Brothers, the war is over, everyone can go home!"

All the ghosts were stunned for a moment, as if they couldn't believe the news.Wei Nange continued to shout: "It's over, go home—go and meet the people you miss!"

Relieved, the ghosts threw down their weapons one after another. Some cheered and applauded, some beat their chests and feet, and some embraced and bid farewell.They looked at the sky, one by one turned into evil spirits, and dissipated one after another.

At the same time, the heavy night dissipated, dawn broke, and the sun was shining.

Wei Shuyu walked under the stone house, and the person on the roof reached out and said, "Nange, let's go home too."

Wei Nange smiled brightly, opened his arms and jumped down, throwing himself into his elder brother's arms to touch his forehead, just like when he was a boy in Chunshan.The moment the two hugged each other, their figures also dissipated, leaving only a little bit of broken light.They will go to the underworld to reincarnate, and then start a wonderful fate in the next life.

Luo Yesheng waved at the place where the two disappeared, silently blessing in his heart, wishing that you will love each other in the next life and never be separated.At this point, he suddenly understood a certain meaning of being a night watchman, that is to listen to the voices of ghosts and help them get relief.

Yun Xiuli walked over and stood side by side with Luo Yesheng, facing the bright sun.Luo Yesheng looked back at him, and the two smiled at each other. They made an appointment, and they will patrol together day and night from now on.
