Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 3 The Tartars Are Here
Soon after the Chinese New Year, Qiu Tianxing realized that something was wrong. He often saw a series of people fleeing to the south with their families.So, he asked some fugitives, and the reply he got was that the Tartars had gone south in a big way, and now they were almost passing Kaifeng Mansion.

Qiu Tianxing told Song An and Xiu'er the news, and they were very nervous.Xiu'er clamored to flee south with the fleeing crowd.But Song An was reluctant to part with the few houses on the mountain, which he had built with the money he had managed to save.If he gave up easily like this, he would feel very distressed and reluctant.

Song An had no direct contact with those Tartars from Liaodong, but he had heard many rumors about them.Song'an also had some relatives and friends who were taken captive when the Tartars entered the customs several times, and their lives and deaths have been unknown since then.For the tartars, Song An's hatred is no less than that of the thieves.But it would be very difficult for him to make a decision if he wanted to give up the life he had finally settled down to, and flee with the big guys and live a life of ups and downs.Because his son and daughter-in-law died in such escapes again and again.

A few days later, the crowd fleeing south became larger and larger, so large that even Qiu Tianxing was startled when he saw it.At this time, looking at the huge crowd, Song An also became flustered.He was wondering whether his decision a few days ago was wrong, and whether he should have taken his granddaughter and grandson-in-law with him to escape.

"Hey! What the hell is wrong with God? Why are we people so cruel! Can't we live a peaceful life? We don't ask much, as long as the wife has a normal bowl of rice!" Song Anwang Looking at the huge crowd at the foot of the mountain, he murmured weakly.At this time, his white beard wasn't as carefully groomed as it used to be, it was already tangled together and tied into a dead knot.

Hearing Song An's words, Qiu Tianxing didn't know what to say, he could only respond with deep silence.He couldn't answer Song An with the words of self-hypnosis he used in his previous life when his life in modern society was unsatisfactory.

"Good days are lived, and bad days are lived, anyway, they are all lived, so why talk about good or bad?" Qiu Tianxing couldn't say this kind of words.He knew that Song An didn't really care about good days or bad ones, all he needed was An Sheng's days.

For Song An, Qiu Tianxing felt that he was really a good person. He tried his best to entertain those passers-by who came to seek medical treatment when they were sick, and never disliked that others could not afford the medical expenses.It can be said that Qiu Tianxing thinks his medical ethics is just right.But it's such a sad thing that such a good person who has accumulated good deeds and dedicated himself to the sick can't find a good time and a peaceful place where he can settle down.

Looking at Song An's lonely and hunched figure, Qiu Tianxing thought of a sentence for a moment.

"Golden belt for killing people and setting fire, building bridges and paving roads without corpses."

Qiu Tianxing could no longer tell who was right and who was wrong.Are the wicked people wrong, the good people wrong, or they are all right, is this era wrong?
Under Qiu Tianxing's gaze, the crowd at the foot of the mountain rolled forward, carrying their families, children and daughters, with the only belongings in their arms, rushing towards the safe place in their hearts.But can they really reach their destination?On this road of no return, how many of them can survive in the end?
"Why, why would they rather die on the way to escape as ghosts in a foreign land than stay in their hometown and fight to the death?" Qiu Tianxing murmured.

Xiu'er behind Qiu Tianxing heard this, but she didn't know how to answer.She only knew that these people just wanted to live, just like her on the way to escape a few years ago.

After watching for a while, Song An went back to the house, and he decided to flee south with everyone.So, the three of them began to organize and salute.

Regarding Qiu Tianxing, both Song An and Xiu'er believed that he and themselves were family members.In fact, Song An wanted to marry Qiu Tianxing and Xiu'er years ago.But Qiu Tianxing thought that Xiu'er was too young, so he declined for two years.Therefore, although Qiu Tianxing did not visit the bridal chamber with Xiu'er, he was actually no different from a family.

Song An is very satisfied with Qiu Tianxing, the prospective grandson-in-law.This grandson-in-law is hardworking, honest, and very considerate to his granddaughter. His granddaughter will never suffer a loss when she marries him.But the only regret is that the grandson-in-law-to-be claims to be a scholar, but it seems that he doesn't understand stereotypes and doesn't like articles.After this, how do you go to take the merit test?For this reason, old man Song was still sobbing, and a few hairs turned gray.

Now, Song An doesn't have to worry about this anymore. He is worried that after going out to escape, he will live a life of poor food and clothing and wandering around.Just when Song An asked to bring more clothes, bedding, food and tableware for this trip, he didn't know that a killing scene had gradually enveloped him.

There is really not much to tidy up in the shabby home. In less than an hour, everything was tidied up.It's just that it's getting dark now, Song An thinks it's better to stay overnight and leave early tomorrow morning, anyway, this night is not bad.Years of fleeing experience made Song An think he knew a lot, but unfortunately, he miscalculated the target this time.Tartars are not stable natural disasters, nor are they thieves who walk on foot, but cavalry, and Tartars all have horses!
..............................

It was just dawn the next day, but Qiu Tianxing and the others were still asleep.At this time, there was a burst of crying and shouting in the distance, and countless people ran towards Xianshan, screaming and screaming.This huge sound directly awakened Qiu Tianxing and the others.

"What happened?" Qiu Tianxing stood up straight and said to himself, at this moment he had a very bad premonition.

"Could it be that the Tartars from the north came after them?"

Thinking of this, Qiu Tianxing quickly put on his clothes, got up and ran outside.At a glance, he felt that his soul was about to be scared out.

The ground not far ahead was illuminated by the rising sun that was turning the belly of the fish, and stumbling figures rushed towards him one by one.Behind this vast crowd, there are dozens of people on horseback flashing through the crowd.People ran desperately, cried and tried to stay away from these riders, but the reality was that no matter how these people pushed and ran, these riders followed behind them, as if they were tails hanging behind them.

Such a strange situation made Qiu Tianxing's scalp almost froze.He knew that it must be the soldiers of the Tartars who were chasing him.

"The Tartars are coming!" The roar of countless voices finally reached Qiu Tianxing's ears.This voice contained panic, shriek and despair, but there was no anger, no united will to resist!
At this time, the crowd was surging hundreds of meters ahead.But Qiu Tianxing stood at the door, too frightened to move.
