martial law

This battle was fought in vain.

Significant.

At most, it has gained a meaning.

……

"Master, I can help you rub your shoulders and legs along the way, joking and amusing you.

It is also possible to handle some tasks such as lodging in a top-notch store, delivering letters and running errands, which is definitely not cumbersome. "

When Little Mushroom heard that Yang Lin was going on a long trip, and that he wasn't going to take her out with him, she almost cried on the spot.

With a look of unwillingness, he softly begged beside him.

"It's not like going out for a tour this time. When the time comes, bullets will fly across the battlefield and shells will explode randomly. Even if I want to protect others, it will be very difficult."

Yang Lin didn't let go.

"Then you underestimate people, young master..."

Little Mushroom put on a stance, and punched several times with both hands, making the air crackle, "I have been forging my bones for a while, and the plum blossom boxing and the iron line boxing go hand in hand. I also fought with Uncle Da yesterday. He has done nothing. Not me."

Uncle Da has already fainted in the toilet.

Yang Lin laughed and said: "It's not a matter of martial arts level, your sister Xianglian is at home alone, and she needs someone to accompany and protect her.

Don't think it's safe here, and don't take it lightly. "

"Don't worry, I'm fine here, and I don't like to go out, and no one else knows, so how can I target it?

Third brother, you should take the little mushroom with you, there is a caretaker on the way.

Didn't it mean that sister-in-law Xiulan and Tianbao were also brought back this time?It's really inconvenient if no one is looking after you. "

Karen had been silently packing her luggage and putting it in a big suitcase, but now she couldn't help but speak.

Her voice was soft and her eyes were soft.

Since arriving in Xiangjiang, her face has grown a little bit of baby fat, which is not obvious, and it looks a lot rounder.

It looks like a peony flower moistened by sufficient rain. It is fragrant and charming, and makes people feel calm when they see it.

"Okay then, little mushroom, you heard me clearly, you can't make your own decisions on the road, and you must obey the command in all actions."

Yang Lin was a little worried.

To be honest, little girl, it's not good to be too out of touch.

If you don't watch carefully, maybe you will go to the battlefield to kill Yuan Shuangcheng, don't think she can't do it.

She is very courageous, and whimsical ideas will appear in her mind from time to time.

When she was with Marilyn, she was able to suppress that shrewd and cunning little princess, making her deflate from time to time, one can imagine her ability.

No, he was almost persuaded by her.

In fact, when Yang Lin went out, Little Mushroom was already carrying a suitcase, wearing a peaked cap, and a vest, following behind him.

Behind him is the person from the Yang family seeing him off.

Karen stood quietly in the distance, not approaching.

It wasn't until Chuan Ying disappeared that he returned to Yang's house under the protection of everyone.

……

The boat docked.

Yang Lin didn't delay either.

The further north he went, the heavier his heart became.

Along the way, ten rooms are empty.

Occasionally, I saw someone and wanted to ask for directions, so I found it.

These common people, or their faces are numb, they kowtow and salute when they see people, and they can't even utter a single sentence.

Or, panicked as if encountering a man-eating tiger, they simply hid far away, not daring to show their heads at all.

However, one thing is the same.

All of them with rattails and skinny skin are just flattering them.

It was mid-autumn, and the upper body was still bare black and black, and it could be seen that there was only a layer of skin wrapped around the bony ribs.

It's not that I'm not full, it's that I don't have to eat at all.

Because, Yang Lin also saw that the bulge in some people's stomachs is actually silted mud and stones.

It seems that he didn't starve to death, but in fact, he couldn't live for too long.

"Prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer."

At the beginning, Yang Lin also gave some dry food on his body to some poor children he met on the road.

Later, I saw such children everywhere in the village.

There are even some adults with red eyes, looking at themselves like zombies.

So he fell silent, just walked forward in suspense, not wanting to look at him any more.

"Young Master, I heard that it was the same scene when the Ming Dynasty was about to perish. The people changed their children to eat, worrying about the next meal all day long.

In the past two years, there has been severe drought in Guanzhong, floods in the two rivers, reduced food production, and large areas of people starving to death everywhere.

The most serious thing is that there are too many corrupt officials, those landlords and officials only care about their own happiness, how can they care about the lives of the people..."

"So, every time the dynasty reaches the late stage, all kinds of strange things will happen, and disasters will emerge one after another."

As the little maid of Yang's mansion, Little Mushroom is not only a maid, she grew up with Yang Lin, of course she also works as a school boy.

Therefore, when the teacher was invited to teach, Yang Linyuan, that playboy, didn't learn any useful knowledge, but the clever little girl, Little Mushroom, learned a lot of knowledge.

It's useless, but her brain is very good, and she can draw inferences about everything...

Occasionally, Mr. Yang would drop a few pedantic words in the book bag, and she could quickly talk about the source and the implied meaning.

Let Yang Lin, a semi-literate person from later generations, feel a little ashamed.

In terms of literary background, even the maids can't compare.

This thing has a lot to do with human talent. Even if I have traveled through countless worlds and received too much knowledge in the illusion, but if I can't learn it, I can't learn it. There is no reason to say it.

Just like in the past in later generations, not to mention reading thousands of books, it can be said that the amount of poems I have read can not be overstated.

But if he were to recite a few poems in a serious manner, his eyes would be darkened, and he would not be able to recite them no matter what.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Yang Lin's knowledge is lower than that of the little maid.

This has nothing to do with literature, but has something to do with experience and IQ.

His vision of seeing problems and the way to solve them are much better than the little mushroom who stays at home and doesn't often go out.

"It wasn't in the late dynasty that natural disasters and corrupt officials appeared, but when corrupt officials and natural disasters appeared and the people couldn't survive, it was the late dynasty."

This is a question of inversion of cause and effect.

People who believe in the theory of destiny often blame the problem on the direction of fate.

But in Yang Lin's view.

It's actually a very random question.

All things are born to support people, and human beings live in the world, but every step of the way is bumpy.

If you can make it through, it will be smooth sailing, if you can’t make it, you will have bad luck...

What is there to say.

"Tian Xingjian, a gentleman strives for self-improvement, war is the most boring thing, if a flower is brought out in a civil war, will he become stronger?

In the face of foreign aggression, wouldn't he become cowardly and vulnerable. "

"So, I am willing to do my best to enhance national self-confidence and strengthen the nation, but I don't want to have blood on my hands on the battlefield of the civil war.

No matter which side, whether they are deceived or have beliefs and ideals, they are all suffering people.

They just want to be a soldier and eat a ration so that they won't starve to death. "

It's not that Yang Lin is unwilling to serve the country and the people.

It's because he doesn't know at all which country his own country is.

It's that embarrassing.

You can accuse him of not having faith and not persevering.

However, his beliefs are obviously not in this era.

In this era, there is no need for him to be an outsider to make decisions for others.

There is no need to be disgusted.

All the way to eat and sleep.

On this day, I finally came to Hankou.

Before I got close, I saw fleeing common people all over the mountains and plains.

Crying father and mother.

The city was already on fire.

From the center of the city, it burned through half of the city until it exited the river mouth.

The sound of guns was rumbling, and the sound of gunfire was like noisy beans, with screams and cries.

From time to time, people were burned torches and rushed out. While shooting, they were honeycombed by dense long gun bullets.

"Fellow townsman, what's the situation in the city? Why are half of the city's houses on fire?"

Yang Lin grabbed a fat businessman who was fleeing in a hurry and asked.

"It was the army of the six towns of the imperial court. In order to arrest the rebels, they set fire to the city and burned it all the way to the Han River, forcing them to jump into the river."

The businessman was sweating profusely, feeling Yang Lin's right hand like a pliers, he didn't dare to get angry, but suppressed his anger, and said with a smile: "Sir, run away.

These two sides are not good birds, Hankou City has been beaten into ruins...

It is estimated that those rebellious parties will flee to Hanyang, and then they will chase all the way and fight all the way into a mess.

I can't stay here anymore, I have to flee to the south..."

Yang Lin let go of his hand and let him go.

He also roughly understood the situation in the city. After the uprising, the imperial court counterattacked and dispatched troops to encircle and suppress those progressive people.

Of course, some military leaders headed by Yuan Shuangcheng are using powerful firepower to eliminate and oppress the southern forces.

At the same time, they sent people to negotiate.

I want the Southern Provisional Government to surrender and admit that it rules the country.

Where are you going to find your elder brother Yang Jizu?

The biggest possibility is to be on the front line of the battle in Hanshui.

Judging from the temperament of the elder brother whom he hadn't seen in ten years, he would never hide in the back.

He is a doctor. Where is the wounded soldier, he can probably be found there.

The situation in front of him was like hell, the stench of burnt corpses was so strong that Yang Lin, who had been through many battles, couldn't help but twitch in his stomach and intestines, and the little mushroom couldn't help but bend over and retch beside him.

I haven't seen such cruelty for a long time. Has this body become weak?

Yang Lin's eyes became cold.

He felt that these people actually had nothing to say.

Just pick someone up and go...

Chapter 220 The name of the person, the shadow of the tree

Yang Lin took the little mushroom and walked through Hankou City, carefully avoiding places where the flames were burning extremely violently.
