463  Bonus Chapter Song Que (2)

Even if I couldn't earn a lot of money, it would still be enough to feed my family. It would still be enough to fill the stomachs of Mother and my younger siblings.

Unfortunately, it was useless no matter how much I regretted it.

Mother and Yun'er wouldn't be able to come back anymore.

There was only one thing I could do. I would bring Ye'er along and live on…

I had a feeling that the drought would only get worse and worse, and the people of Brook Falls Village would most likely flee.

My leg couldn't move freely, and Ye'er was still young. We wouldn't be able to catch up with them.

Moreover, even if we followed them, there was a high chance that we would be abandoned and left to die on the road when there was insufficient food.

Therefore, I planned to bring Ye'er to town.

Going to town would be the only chance for Ye'er and me to survive.

Before that, I had to make some preparations.

I had to bring everything that could be eaten and could be used.

After we left, we would not consider coming back anymore.

However, before we had finished preparing, disaster struck again.

The locust plague arrived.

The locust swarm that blocked out the sky and earth flew towards Brook Falls Village.

The locusts did not only eat the crops in the fields, but also the vegetation in the mountains. Even the thatch on the roofs of the villagers' houses was not spared.

The roof of our house was covered with thatch.

When the locust swarm came, the locusts headed straight into the house.

There were too many holes in the house and the building could not stop them at all.

I could only use the tattered blanket at home to cover Ye'er and myself.

On such a hot day, no matter how hot it was, we did not dare to remove the blanket.

We survived amidst the sound of locusts flapping their wings, hitting objects, and gnawing the thatch on the roof.

Perhaps we should be grateful for the locust plague.

Thanks to the locust swarm, Ye'er and I caught many locusts.

And those locusts became our food for a long time thereafter.

After the locust plague ended, I realized that I could not wait any longer.

I dragged my crippled leg and crawled to Mountain Spring Town with Ye'er.

Yes, I crawled there like an abandoned stray dog.

After arriving at Mountain Spring Town, we became beggars and begged on the streets.

We abandoned all our dignity and lived like abandoned dogs.

Occasionally, we would bump into my former classmates.

Some of them would mock me, and some would pity me, but none of their words could aggravate me anymore.

Oh no. Some words were still aggravating.

However, my heart was already numb.

That kind of aggravation no longer had as much of an impact on me as before.

When I was begging, sometimes I wished I could meet them.

This was because after they humiliated or sympathized with me, I would ask them to give me some copper coins or food.

And they were more desirous of preserving their dignity.

Regardless of whether they were willing or not, they would at least give me some money for the sake of their dignity.

As for me, I had to rely on that little money to raise Ye'er and survive.

After that, I did not know how much time had passed.

I only knew that there was a sudden uproar that night.

A large number of mountain bandits armed with weapons appeared on the streets.

Those mountain bandits killed anyone they saw and even broke into houses to kill people.

I covered Ye'er's mouth tightly and hid in a junk pile with him and managed to escape.

Those terrifying sounds tortured us the entire night.

In fact, the nearest murder scene was right next to our hiding place.

After the mountain bandits killed the people, they went elsewhere to continue killing. We spent that night next to the corpses.

Ye'er and I didn't dare to sleep. We didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

In the middle of the night, I heard some faint sounds.

I knew those were rats.

The soft sounds came from the rats gnawing on the corpses.

That was right. I had seen beggars who starved to death before. As their corpses were not dealt with in time, they were eaten by rats.

After the famine, it was not just people who were starving. The rats were also starving.

The next day, Mountain Spring Town fell into the hands of the mountain bandits.

The whole town was put under a curfew.

I couldn't bring Ye'er with me to continue begging. We still had to hide from those mountain bandits who were searching everywhere.

Fortunately, I led Ye'er away and changed our hiding spot in time, thereby evading the first wave of the mountain bandits' search.

Following that, a curfew was imposed for several more days.

After this, the mountain bandits finally allowed the commoners to go out and forced the merchants to open their doors for business.

This was a great thing for us.

Only when there were people on the streets would Ye'er and I be able to get food and survive.

Unfortunately, I was soon targeted.

That day, the mountain bandits suddenly captured me and wanted to take me away.

Ye'er tried to save me. As a result, he was killed by one of the mountain bandits with one slash of the saber.

At that moment, my whole world completely collapsed.

I didn't know how I was taken away.

By the time I regained my senses, I had already been cleaned up and they had put resplendent clothes on me. Thereafter, they sent me to the bandit leader's room.

That repulsive thing actually…

Naturally, I refused to submit, and I eventually threatened to end my life.

The bandit leader then locked me up and punished me.

It was also at that time that my body was destroyed.

A few days later, I learned from the mountain bandits guarding me that the Imperial Court's army had attacked. The mountain bandits might have to retreat.

I realized that this might be my last chance for revenge.

Thus, I finally relented and proposed to go and meet the bandit leader.

The bandit leader was naturally happy. After seeing me, he said that he was willing to listen to everything I said.

And the first condition I mentioned was that he had to kill Ye'er's murderer.

The bandit leader was hesitant at first, but I only smiled and was able to make him agree.

The next day, I saw the decapitated head of the murderer.

After that, I continued to pretend to be compliant with the bandit leader.

I dragged out the charade until nighttime and then found an opportunity to kill him as well.

Thereafter, I worked with those few mountain bandits who kept watch over me in prison and we surrendered to the Imperial Court's army.

They wanted to live, and I wanted revenge. It was a happy cooperation.

Later on, I found out that the commander of the Imperial Court's army was actually the Second Prince.

This person held an extraordinary position in the hearts of the people of the Great Jin State.

The Second Prince personally summoned me. After learning of everything I did, he was full of admiration for me. He finally proposed to take me in as an aide.

At that point, I was all alone and had nowhere to go, so I chose to accept.

After that, my life began to change.

I quickly became the Second Prince's most valued aide.

Following that, I even moved to the front of the public eye and became an official.

Thereafter, I became the Second Prince's most ruthless saber.

I helped him pave a blood-stained way through, eliminating those against him and removing obstacles for him.

In the process of dealing with those people, I also rose step by step.

Not long after the Second Prince ascended the throne, I became the new Prime Minister of the Great Jin State.

The Prime Minister's post was occupied by my Grandfather previously.

After Father fell seriously ill, he passed away from depression. He regretted that he could not help to exonerate his own father.

However, when it was my turn, I managed to do it.

Not only did I achieve that, but I also became the Prime Minister and restored the Song family to its former glory.

Then again, so what if I did that?

The Song family had long been destroyed. Other than me, no one else in the Song family was left.

There was also the Liu family. My two younger cousins were still around at that point.

However, in the confrontation between me and the Jia family, they lost their lives because they were threatened by Jia Kun.

I was probably a jinx to everyone.

Anyone who was close to me would become cursed and end up dead.

First, it was Grandfather, then it was Father, followed by Mother and Yun'er, and then Ye'er.
