Mountains and Rivers is a very strange book, with a strange title and strange writing. But it was a pleasure to read!

According to the conventions of Internet literature, this book should be titled "So-and-so Escort Bureau", or "The Last Escort Master of the Qing Dynasty", but the word "swa" in "mountain and river swab" has become the eye of the whole book, which has a different meaning.

"The whole land is still at war, who will decide the Central Plains after all." The mountains and rivers are broken, the family and the country are suffering, and there are knights who step forward to wipe away the wounds of the mountains and rivers and the pain of the nation. "I want to fly up, float straight up, and wipe away the shadows of the mountains and rivers.

"

Is this book about a bodyguard? Is it about chivalrous people? Yes and no, it is actually about the awakening of a nation. The protagonist transforms from a chivalrous knight to a national hero who goes into danger for the country. This should be

It is the true thought that the author wants to express.

It is easy to be a knight who "kills one person in ten steps", but it is difficult to be a soldier who dies for the country. What kind of story happened during this period? There are too many foreshadowings in this book, and there are too many historical figures involved.

, I wonder if the author can manage such a large structure! Let us wait and see!

…………

Almost all the most popular historical fiction books take the fictional route.

Because fictional writing is particularly enjoyable, both enjoyable to write and enjoyable to read.

Are there any rules for fiction? There are no explicit rules, there are "unspoken rules". Anyone who reads fiction knows this.

The protagonist needs to constantly level up, from weak to strong, then from strong back to weak, and then strong again.

As Fan Wei said, turn right, turn right, turn right again, it turns out to be a circle.

Recently I am reading a new book "Mountains and Rivers".

At first I thought the author’s writing was more orthodox and used many real historical figures.

There are many stories arranged for these characters, and many of them are inextricably related to real history.

This is a book based on real people and real events. For example, the reform movement, such as the revolution led by Sun Wen that overthrew the Qing court.

For example, in the battle between masters, there are moderate exaggerations and reasonable fictions, but they never go beyond real history.

Does this count as arrogance? Of course it does.

Because these historical events in the book are not the main theme, but more of an introduction or annotation. The author uses real historical fragments to build another possibility, allowing people to develop rich associations. If history was like this

…

Isn’t it very cool?

Isn't it great to allow readers to participate in the author's imagination?

It's not the protagonist who is traveling through time, but the author taking the readers along with him. Isn't it cool?

Taierzhuang in March is particularly bright and elegant due to the nourishment of the spring breeze. On both sides of the canal, the willow trees are green and the spring flowers are yellow. It is not as good as the south of the Yangtze River.

This is the sixth spring that Wu Jin has spent in Taierzhuang, and it is also the first spring that she has cut off her braids. The Qing Dynasty is gone, the Republic of China is here, and everything is as fresh and vivid as spring.

Wu Jin walked out of the back door of his "Suhang Silk and Satin Store", walked through the narrow alley full of green bamboos, and walked to Shunhe Street. Shunhe Street was very quiet in the early morning, and the canal was also very quiet. Slowly walking along the river bank

As we walked forward and passed the gate office, two watchmen squatted on the river bank and smoked by the fire. They greeted him politely, "Mr. Wu, would you like to smoke a bag of cigarettes?"

"It's so steamy, isn't it cold? The water in my village is boiling. Come over and have a cup of hot tea." Wu Jin replied with a smile.

"No, there were soldiers in the city at night. Did you not sleep well, or did you get up early?"

"The war has been chaotic for these years. I have long been used to it. I slept well." Wu Jin continued to move forward. When he was approaching Yujia Pier, a figure suddenly appeared in the T-shaped street and rushed towards the canal. Seeing

He looked like he was about to jump into the river.

Wu Jin rushed forward in panic and hugged the man from behind. It turned out to be Liu Xiaozao, a Shanxi native who ran a grocery store on Dingzi Street.

"Shopkeeper Liu, why are you going? Going to the river to catch fish?"

"Ah, it turns out to be Mr. Wu. Why are you hugging me?"

"You are not the number one in Lanting Bookstore. I don't care about hugging you. It was obviously you who bumped into my arms." Wu Jin said with a smile.

"Ah, I'm here to apologize to you. Mr. Wu, please let go and don't let you get into trouble."

"There's nothing unlucky about being there so early in the morning. A new noodle shop has opened at the south end of Yuehe Street. The shopkeeper is you, a fellow from Shanxi Province. How about inviting me to have a bowl of noodles?"

Liu Xiaozao said with a sad face: "Mr. Wu, please stop making trouble. I don't have a penny on me now. A group of gangsters who came from nowhere last night robbed all my shop. They worked so hard all their lives in vain.

Alas, living in this world is really meaningless."

"Is there such a thing?" Wu Jin was doubtful. His silk and satin shop was good, and the bank next door was also good. Why did he only rob the Liu family's grocery store?

Hearing someone talking by the river, Mr. Xiu, who runs a wine shop, opened the window on the second floor and said: "Shopkeeper Liu, the person who robbed you is not a soldier. It's probably a few second-rate guys who did it. Go and report it to the official."

Maybe I can get it back for you."

"Second Master Xiu, how do you know it was a second-rate man who did this?" Wu Jin asked.

"I was leaning against the window on the second floor, listening to the noise. It took a long time for the soldiers to pass by, and then I heard the sound of banging on the door on the T-shaped street. I guessed that someone was fishing in troubled waters."

After hearing this, Liu Xiaozao put Wu Jin aside and ran towards the direction of the Inspection Department. Wu Jin shouted: "In the Republic of China, there is no Inspection Department. The police station is located at the garrison!"

Mr. Xiu closed the window and went downstairs to close the door. Gradually there were more people walking on the street and more boats on the canal.

Wu Jin stood on the river bank, looking at the quiet river water in trance. He didn't know where his cousin's boat had arrived, but it was a smooth journey. Mr. Xiu's youngest daughter Lianpeng went down to the river to fetch water with a wooden bucket, and passed by him and said: "Wu

Sir, how about the scenery?"

The lotus pod was no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, but he already knew how to use incense. The faint fragrance of osmanthus spread on the river bank. Wu Jin couldn't help but think of a poem and blurted out: "It's not a human species, it's suspected to come from the moon."

Zhonglai. If Guanghan is fragrant, it will bloom all over the bank."

Lianpeng covered her mouth and smiled: "Mr. Wu's silk and satin shop is really close to Cuiping Academy."

"Are you laughing at my fake politeness?"

"I don't dare, you are really knowledgeable."

"Lian Peng, don't talk nonsense with Mr. Wu." Mr. Xiu came over with a tray in his hand and two small wine glasses on the tray: "Mr. Wu, did Shopkeeper Liu want to jump into the river just now? A wife like that in the stall,

The owner who usually makes small profits and then loses money, this time the loss is so big, it’s really enough for him to drink a pot!”

"Shopkeeper Liu is probably just trying to scare his wife. He really wants to die at this time." Wu Jin pondered for a moment and then said: "If it is really the work of a few gamblers in the city, it will not be difficult to solve the case. It's just that

I'm afraid it was the work of a passing bandit."

"Bandits and rogues would not pick his grocery store to attack."

Wu Jin pondered some truth, nodded, stared at the tray in his hand and asked: "Is Mr. Xiu going to sacrifice to the river god?
