Chapter 590
Cheng Dalei and Little White Wolf set off together, riding on one horse, quite at ease.
In just a few days, they travelled from Qingzhou to Youzhou. After the great war, Youzhou had not yet recovered. Everywhere they looked were barren grass and drought-stricken lands, there was no sign of human life for miles.
When the cavalry of the Rong Clan stormed in, human lives were worth less than animals, most people violently met their end under the blades of the Rong Clan. Those who were lucky escaped to the south, barely surviving. The remaining people, lacking money, power, or connections, hid in the wilderness, becoming wandering spirits disowned by heaven and earth.
Underneath the withered grass and yellow earth, one might just stumble upon a skeleton. In the wild woods, there could be dishevelled savages hiding.
As Cheng Dalei and Little White Wolf passed through this region and remembered the events of that year, they became deeply moved and reflective.
