I rely on talking to brush the copy

Le Jing's trip to Shanghai was originally scheduled for two weeks, but because he had to write an article to deal with Li Jingliang's sudden attack, the two-week trip ended up being delayed to more than three weeks.

As a result, "The Rise of Dynasties" was released for three weeks. In the end, "Beiping Novel News" sent a telegram almost every day, urging Le Jing to go back and write more articles.

When they returned to Peking from Shanghai, it happened to be the day before New Year's Eve. The reporters gathered in front of their house had already dispersed, and the street smelled of the New Year.

Le Jing did not return to the Li family's ancestral home in Fengtian, but spent a New Year's Eve in a small courtyard in Peking with Li Shuran that belonged to them alone.

Winter is the best time to eat hot pot, so the two brothers and sisters who stayed up late on New Year's Eve served hot pot in front of them.

They sat around the table and watched the milky white pot bottom bubbling, the green vegetables and the bright red beef and mutton rising and falling. It was really beautiful.

The sound of Xiaoni and Zhou's eldest son playing and laughing could be heard outside the house. Since Le Jing sent her to school, Wang Xiaoni has become more and more lively, and her eyes that sometimes seem unstructured are much more lively.

Li Shuran lowered her eyes, holding up her chopsticks and staring expectantly at the fragrant hot pot. When Le Jing said "Okay," she happily picked up a large piece of beef, blew a few mouthfuls, stuffed it into her mouth and chewed it with relish. The cheeks are bulging like a greedy squirrel.

Le Jing looked at her greedy look with a slight smile. In the past year, if the person has changed the most, it must be Li Shuran.

This shy little girl grew up rapidly during her studies and became the courageous, passionate, intelligent and decisive person she is today, who dares to love and hate.

"Shu Ran, what is your New Year's wish?"

Li Shuran swallowed what was in her mouth, thought for a few seconds, and then said with a smile: "I hope my brother and I will be safe and sound, year after year."

Le Jing smiled, but said: "My New Year's wish is different from yours." He looked out at the white snow outside the house, hearing the lively sound of firecrackers and the laughter of children, his eyes were slightly closed, covering up the Complex, "My wish...is to be free."

Li Shuran stared blankly at the young man wearing a red Tang suit opposite: "Freedom?"

"Yes, freedom." In the mist, the young man's face was blurred, and his voice seemed to come from a far away place. There was deep loneliness and indomitable determination hidden in the tone: "I am in the long river of time. Trekking, all I want is freedom.”

"Freedom is detachment, freedom, wandering, walking alone, the loneliness of going up to the west tower alone, looking out at the end of the world. It is also the kindness of the heart, and the courage to move forward without regrets even after nine deaths."

Li Shuran's heart suddenly beat loudly. She looked at her brother whose face was blurred in the mist and was speechless.

Although she didn't quite understand her brother's words, it didn't stop her from feeling an almost eternal loneliness.

Just like the delicious food in front of her, the laughter outside the house, and the festive Spring Festival, she and everything in this world have nothing to do with the young man in front of her.

The young man has his mountains and seas, his numerous mountain shadows, and his thousands of miles of waves.

If possible, give him the wind, give him the desert, and give him the sky.

It's the unfettered wind, the desert where it rains heavily, and the sky filled with stars.

Give him all things and set him free. 〖Note①〗

Li Shuran was silent for a long time. After a long time, the hot pot had lost its temperature and the sound of firecrackers sounded outside the house. She finally raised her head and looked at Le Jing. Her eyes were crying, but the corner of her mouth was smiling: "Brother, I wish you freedom."

There was a loud blast of firecrackers outside the house, and thousands of fireworks shot into the sky, leaving mottled light and shadow on the young man's face. The young man's face was as white as jade, his eyes were bright and dark, his smile complemented the fireworks outside the house, his lips opened and closed, and his voice was crushed in the wind by the sound of firecrackers.

Li Shuran read the silent words.

He was saying: "Shuran, you have to live well."

The sound of firecrackers marks the end of the year, and the spring breeze brings warmth to Tusu.

Amidst the crackling of firecrackers, the 14th year of the Republic of China officially came to an end.

The fifteenth year of the Republic of China came.

Li Shuran is 14 years old and Le Jing is 17 years old. In the year since he came to this era, he has experienced countless ups and downs, but this one year has been more exciting and fulfilling than his previous 16 years of life.

Sure enough, the most important thing in life is width, not length.

The Spring Festival in the 15th year of the Republic of China was the first Spring Festival that Lejing celebrated in this era. Compared with later generations, the Spring Festival in this era has a more New Year flavor. Red lanterns were hung on the streets and alleys, dragon and lion dance teams roared past the streets, and the air was filled with a faint smell of gunpowder smoke. Children wear new clothes and walk through the streets, and pedestrians returning with New Year's goods have happy expectations on their faces.

As Le Jing walked among them, he felt a sense of absurdity and dissonance as if he had mistakenly entered an old photo.

Until now, he still has not been able to adapt to this era. When I wake up from a dream in the middle of the night, I often have an unreal feeling like a dream.

The days passed slowly and orderly like this.

Nearly a month after opening the skylight, "The Rise of Dynasties" finally resumed serialization. The plot of the story has progressed to the point where Xu Wangmu rose up and called on the world's rebels to jointly resist foreign invaders.

Some smart readers have already guessed what happened. These days Le Jing has received many letters from readers asking whether Xu Wangmu will become emperor.

Book reviews of related ideas also appeared in newspapers.

Chi Yan then published an article in the newspaper: "The Chronicles of Xiang Yu" says: Emperor Qin Shihuang traveled to Kuaiji and crossed Zhejiang. Liang and Ji both watched. Ji said: "He can be replaced." "The current Emperor of Great China is ignorant and fatuous, and is not as talented or as wise as the First Emperor. Why should Xu Wangmu imitate Xiang Yu and replace him?"

This article stirred up waves with one stone.

For a time, the three factions of the "Emperor Faction", "Loyal Minister Faction" and "Hong Kong Hero Faction" made a big fuss in the newspaper.

Le Jing ignored the ups and downs in the newspaper and just wrote the article step by step according to the outline.

Although his new pen name of Maitian was revealed,

But the authorities remained strangely silent on this, and did not mention anything about the ban. Probably because "Wandering Adventure" did not touch on any sensitive issues. Therefore, Literary Newspaper pretended not to know anything and continued to publish the serialization of "Wandering Adventures".

"Wandering Adventure", which he defined as children's literature, eventually became an adult fairy tale. Fu Kemao later wrote a letter to Lin Zhongqi, asking why Lin Zhongqi mentioned himself in the preface of "The Rise of Dynasties". Le Jing thought for a few seconds and then wrote him a reply in a playful manner: "I am watching you."

These words, which were quite stalker-like, were interpreted by Fu Kemao, who received the reply, as Lin Zhongqi's deep expectations and encouragement for him. He was elated and even more convinced that he was a young hero and would definitely shine in the future, thus setting the young man on the road to success. On the road to lifelong charity. Of course, this is all for later.

The debate on filial piety triggered by the article "The Way of Animals" that he published under the pseudonym of the Night Watchman is still going on vigorously in newspapers.

When Zhou Dezhang and Zheng Yiliang came to visit him, they laughed and said that Le Jing had broken a hole in the sky.

Even when Zhang Xiguan came over to collect the manuscript, he looked at him with quite complicated eyes. From the joyful look in his eyes, it could be seen that he did not agree with "The Way of Animals", but in the end he did not say anything and just collected the manuscript in silence. The manuscript of "The Rise of Dynasties".

Le Jing went to school as usual. Only this time he became a complete celebrity in the school.

Many students in the class had witnessed the dispute between Le Jing and Li Jingliang before. Later, Li Jingliang exposed Le Jing's current school and class in the newspaper. Anyone with a brain will know what happened.

So Le Jing was surrounded by his classmates as soon as he entered the school.

"Le Jing, no, I should call you Li Jingran now. I didn't expect you to be the night watchman!"

"I admire you so much! You are the same age as us, but you can write such an outstanding article. You can only be described as a genius!"

"I have also read your book "The Way of Animals". After reading it, I really got goosebumps all over my body. It was a sunny day but it was so cold that I felt like I was stuck in a world of ice and snow."

Someone else asked Le Jing: "Will you still publish under the pseudonym Night Watchman in the future?"

Le Jing answered these chattering questions with a good-natured smile. It was not until Mr. Bai entered the classroom and the classmates around him dispersed that Le Jing finally had a moment of silence.

The warm welcome for Le Jing lasted for more than a week. After the students initially satisfied their curiosity, Le Jing's side gradually became quiet.

Then one day after school, Cao Wanying coyly came over to talk to Le Jing and said, "I have a friend who is also a fan of yours, so I want to meet you."

Cao Wanying's words before, "You, tell me, you're dead, you're dead, do you understand?" brought up Le Jing's long-lost memories. This sentence appeared too frequently in later anti-war dramas.

Of course, Le Jing also understood that this sentence was probably just a common Concord saying circulated in this era. Xiehe language refers to a hybrid language that introduced Japanese vocabulary and Japanese grammar into Chinese during the Japanese colonial period in Northeast China in the early 20th century.

But a little girl from Peiping suddenly said such a sentence, Le Jing couldn't help but look forward to it, so he went to test it out. The result also proved that Cao Wanying was an ordinary native of the Republic of China, not the time traveler Le Jing expected.

But it was precisely because of that experience that the relationship between Le Jing and Cao Wanying became inexplicably closer. They were already in such a relationship that they would not attract any strange looks when they walked out of school together.

So Le Jing readily agreed to Cao Wanying's request.

On the way, Cao Wanying briefly introduced the origin of her friend, "He is a Japanese, but he admires Chinese culture, so he came all the way to study, and he can also speak fluent Chinese."

Le Jing raised his eyebrows but said nothing.

Naturally, he does not have any narrow democratic tendencies. Although Japan committed numerous crimes in China during the war, they are too numerous to list. But there are also some righteous people among the Japanese who have unyielding conscience.

Japan and China are two countries separated by a narrow strip of water. The historical processes of the two countries have always influenced each other.

For example, the China Alliance was established in Tokyo, Japan, which sounded the death knell of the Qing Dynasty. Another example is that our party’s army includes many members of the Japanese Eighth Route Army and the People’s Liberation Army. In the years when Red China was established, young Japanese shouted, “Revolution is not guilty, but rebellion is justified.” , the Red Army troops swept across the island country in mighty force.

Cao Wanying laughed again: "This friend of mine is the strangest Japanese I have ever met. I don't know why he always hates his Japanese identity. He always dreams of joining the Chinese nationality and becoming a Chinese. It's a pity that he My parents didn’t agree, so I gave up.”

Le Jing sighed in his heart, in modern terms, this person must be an elite, right?

The two walked forward while talking and laughing, and soon arrived at the school gate. A short-haired boy wearing a gray Zhongshan suit was guarding the school gate.

He looked about the same age as Le Jing, also in his teens, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looked quite handsome, but there was always a hint of melancholy between his eyebrows.

When he saw Cao Wanying, his eyes lit up, and at the same time, his eyes could not help but drift in the direction of Le Jing, and he asked with some stammering: "This, this person?"

Cao Wanying smiled and said: "You want to meet someone, right? I brought him here, how should you thank me?"

The man was so excited that his face turned red. He walked forward with his hands and feet, stretched out his sweaty hand to Le Jing, and looked dizzy as if he was drunk: "Hello, Mr. Linlin Zhongqi, I am your crazy fan..."

Le Jing: ...? ? ? !

The author has something to say:

[Note ①] "The young man has his own mountains and seas,

his own shadows of mountains, his own waves.

If possible, give him the wind, the desert, and the sky.

It is the unrestrained wind, the desert with heavy rain, and the sky covered with stars.

Give him everything, let him be free." - Excerpted from the hot comments on NetEase Cloud

As for the Japanese Red Army in this chapter, I can't say anything. Use Baidu. Interested students can search for "山庄" by themselves. My TG is not a vegetarian. Back then, Southeast Asia exported revolution. Well, I can't say anything.

I have been writing this chapter from 6 o'clock to now. It is very stuck, very stuck, because the Republic of China chapter is about to enter the last plot point, which is also the ** part of this article. I want to shake off the foreshadowing in the previous article and then detonate it! I am about to write the brilliant chapter that I have thought about countless times before! ! !
