Origin Story
话说春秋战国时期，各国之间征战不断，百姓流离失所，哀鸿遍野。一个小村庄，原本宁静祥和，可自从邻国大军压境后，村里便再无宁日。家家户户门窗紧闭，夜里更是胆战心惊，生怕战火蔓延到村庄。男人们拿起武器，准备保卫家园，女人们则日夜祈祷，期盼战争早日结束。孩子们失去了以往的嬉戏玩耍，稚嫩的脸上写满了恐惧与不安。曾经充满欢声笑语的村庄，如今寂静无声，只有风声呼啸，仿佛在诉说着国无宁日的悲惨现实。田地荒芜，粮食歉收，许多人家都揭不开锅，饿殍遍野，生灵涂炭。战争的残酷，让这个小村庄变成了人间地狱。
In the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods of ancient China, wars raged between states, and people were displaced and suffered greatly. A small village, once peaceful and harmonious, knew no peace after a neighboring army invaded. Every household closed their doors and windows tightly, and nights were filled with fear that the war might spread to the village. Men took up arms to defend their homes, while women prayed day and night for the war to end. Children could no longer play carefree; their young faces were etched with fear and anxiety. The once joyful village was now silent and still, only the wind howled, seemingly narrating the tragic reality of a country without peace. Fields lay fallow, harvests were poor, and many families were starving, with famine and suffering everywhere. The cruelty of war had turned this small village into a living hell.
