In the dream, the sky was gloomy and the rain was accompanied by thunder.
In the thunderstorm, the girl was running desperately. What was louder than the thunder was the rolling horseshoes. The girl fell to the ground, covered in mud in the rain. She got up and continued running. In the hazy light and shadow
, the cavalry and the soldier line snaked around like a crescent from the depths of darkness.
So he suddenly sat up in the hut. He should not have been able to see the scene in front of the hut, but at this time he was looking down. The girl covered in mud was still running this way, and the rear troops were advancing. He heard the sound of hoofbeats.
, fumbled for a knife and gun, and opened the window to the back of the cabin. Through the window, he saw his horrified wife in the distance. The wife tried to run over, but was immediately knocked unconscious by the guards following him.
He sat in front of the window and waved.
Then there was a piece of broken memory, the crying girl standing in front of the hut with her hands open, the cavalry that rushed towards him and stood like a mountain in front of people, the door he pushed open, and the light in the violent storm.
The light and sound "boomed"... the light emitted, the knives, guns, fists, and the huge blade that danced from the side. The girl wearing a veil wielding the blade slashed the body of the war horse with the spray of blood.
Split in the air, fierce quarrel...
When I opened my eyes, it was still dark outside.
He lay there, struggling out of the hustle and bustle of his dream, quietly feeling the tranquility of this moment. On the other side of the screen, Xiao Chan was lying on the narrow bed, turning his body. Outside, there was the sound of insects before dawn, and the city
The pulse of is also trivial. This is Hangzhou.
For the first time in a few days, I dreamed about what happened a few days ago.
In the chaos on the night of July 13th, he and the many guards around him were scattered by the troops who attacked the camp and fled. His consciousness was also hazy. A few days later, he woke up slightly and managed to save his life, but
Wound infection is very harmful to the body, and what follows is still an extremely weak physical condition. In fact, if he had not exercised his body well before, he might not be able to survive this injury.
During this period, the few soldiers who were still with him had also dispersed. The only ones who were still following him after leaving the team were his wife Su Tan'er, maids Xiaochan, Juan'er and the young lady who had been loyally protecting her.
Geng Huyuan and Xing'er were unable to follow that night, so they probably returned to Fuzhou with the large army, which was a great blessing among misfortunes.
Then came the things that I had just dreamed about again. When they failed to return to Huzhou and hid in a nearby area, they were finally discovered. Xiaochan and he couldn't hide, and finally had to face the enemy head-on. At that time, because of his wife's
He was behind the house with Juan'er and others. When he discovered the enemy, Geng Huyuan knocked Su Tan'er unconscious and ran away with Juan'er.
After thinking about it, if Fang La's army had persisted and continued to sweep forward, Geng Huyuan and others would have had no chance of escaping. But those people stopped after seeing him, and there was a quarrel. Someone wanted to kill him.
Some people seemed to want to protect him. After a period of confusion, the two sides almost fought. Then the girl named Liu Xigua also appeared, wielding a giant blade and coldly stopped everyone. He was also weak at the time and just let go.
A shot was fired, but after seeing this, he and Xiaochan were finally caught together, and then they woke up in Hangzhou.
,……………………………………,…,
After the gray weather, there was a burst of heavy rain, plunging the entire morning in Hangzhou into a blue haze. Pedestrians, soldiers, and vendors coming in and out near the city gate wore bamboo hats and raincoats, making the city lively after the war.
It brings back a somewhat relaxed atmosphere.
A few ships docked at the wharf of the Qiantang River near the south of the city. The boatmen were unloading and unloading goods. The peasants, accompanied by soldiers, left the city and began to prepare for harvesting this year's rice. In places that had been severely affected before, one by one
Houses and wooden sheds are being built. In the slightly lively street market, female soldiers and workers are building shelves and various decorations for the parade of the coronation ceremony.
Today's Hangzhou city uses the new order established by the rebellious soldiers and many soldiers for the privileged class as the basis of rule. The way of life is naturally very different from before. A few lively places are extremely lively, and the rest are extremely lively.
Most positions are in chaos and depression. Of course there is so-called tranquility, but in fact, no one has a bottom line in their hearts, and no one can really feel at ease.
In a small courtyard on one side of the city, there was the chaotic sound of reading, mixed in the heavy rain, and it was muffled.
This is an academy. There are lush trees inside and outside the academy. Next door is a medical hospital, and next door is a dilapidated courtyard occupied by soldiers who don't know where. The medical center is very lively, and there are often voices of cursing soldiers coming over.
Fangla's rebellion was ultimately a peasant uprising in nature. At the beginning of the uprising, their most straightforward behavior was to kill all the privileged classes, officials, landlords, wealthy businessmen, and those scholars who looked down on them. But on the other hand, they also wanted to become a privileged class.
Classes, such as becoming an official, becoming a landlord, becoming a wealthy businessman, these are difficult to describe, but the brightest among them can naturally be a scholar.
Everywhere they invaded, if they encountered scholars who were unhappy with them or who were not on the same side, they would naturally scold these guys for being incompetent and kill them without hesitation. But if there was anyone with foresight and ideas, they should be killed.
With such conditions, they still hope that there will be scholars in their families who will be successful. This is the value brought about by Confucian rule for thousands of years. People always think that only those who are educated can truly do great things.
For this reason, even if there are many people in mourning after the war, there are always some people with power who protect some students, either as staff or as the masters of disciples at home, giving them shelter. For example, the family in front of you is the one in Hangzhou these days.
The only academy in the city was said to have several military generals as its backers. After the city was destroyed, the food supply was extremely tight, and some Confucian scholars who were originally powerless and not "reputed in evil" like the four great families, but had some knowledge, came to the city.
After the accident, he was lucky enough to survive and was assigned to be a teacher here.
At this time, there were not many disciples in the academy, and the students' families would have some background, but they were not high. If you really reached the status of Shi Bao, Wang Yin, etc., if you want to find a teacher for the disciples in your family, you would naturally grab a certain great scholar directly.
.
Although there are not many students, there are quite a few gentlemen. Some of them were in Fang La's army before. They have adapted to the situation and were placed here after entering the city. Most of them are arrogant. They have some relationships with the generals in the army before.
There are many benefits to be gained, and they will no longer be persecuted: The other group is naturally the Confucian scholars who originally belonged to Hangzhou. This group of people can be regarded as the "defeated". No matter how knowledgeable they are, they can only lower their heads and watch the situation pass.
The salary they could get was not much, just enough to make ends meet every day. Of course, in Hangzhou at this time, it was already a good job. Occasionally, they were provoked. Considering their wives, children and people who needed care at home, they had no choice but to act with a little care.
The scholarly character endured it with a straight face.
"Ahem... class, my surname is Ning, and I will tell you about "Historical Records"..." The rain on the roof woven curtains, blocking the outside world. In the morning, the students were still slapping their wet clothes among the tables and chairs and whispering to each other. They were a little too young.
The man sat down on the podium, knocked the table with his pointer and opened his mouth slightly sickly. His words were short and plain.
The people below were noisy, chatting and laughing, while the young gentleman above was talking about his lessons. The young gentleman was frail and frail, and even the students below who seemed to be sick were unlikely to be in awe. Among them, he was tall and strong.
Several of Shuo's children even interrupted the husband during the quarrel and asked directly: "Hey, what is the most fun place in Hangzhou?" The husband then smiled and mentioned a few places to visit.
This was the situation on the first day of Mr. Naning's arrival in the academy.
This is a corner of the chaotic Hangzhou.
It was a simple morning as usual. After most of the morning, the students dispersed happily. The young man who had taught a lesson returned to the teacher's room and said hello to several of them. At this time, the gentlemen here
It can be regarded as a mixed bag of dragons and snakes. Most of the people who were in Fang La's army had their own things to do. Most of the people who originally belonged to Hangzhou were worried and taught peacefully without asking too many questions or talking.
One of them recognized him and said: "Ning Liheng..." He cupped his hands but didn't say much. It was probably a tacit understanding. The situation was difficult and it was not easy for everyone, so he was not in the mood to chat about trivial matters.
.
The rain was still falling, and after half a day of classes, the academy became a little quieter. Going around the leaky eaves, Ning Yi took a small half bag of brown rice from the administrator of the academy, and a handful of it.
The green vegetables were today's reward. When the scholars dispersed outside under the misty rain, Ning Yi walked towards the back of the academy.
A large part of the wall behind the academy has collapsed, and it is connected to the hospital next door and a simple small courtyard behind it. There are only two or three single rooms in the small courtyard now. At the door of one of the rooms, Xiao Chan
So she leaned there timidly, waiting eagerly for his return. When she saw his figure, she held up a broken umbrella and ran into the rain...
………,……,……,……,…,
For Ning Yi, even he himself cannot tell what the current situation will be like.
When he was brought back to Hangzhou, his body was weak to a certain extent, and he was then placed in the medical center at the front. But then, except for two guards with swords who had been watching him nearby, he looked like a
Except for the prisoners, no one else came to deal with him. It was as if the person who protected him just left him in Hangzhou and then...forgot about him.
Xiaochan has been following him to take care of him. The little maid has never left his side since she was captured and brought to Hangzhou with him. She dressed herself up ugly. It was only after Ning Yi became sober that she became a little more stable.
According to her, Su Tan'er, Juan'er and others should not have been caught, but Huzhou was in chaos at the time. Under the protection of Geng Huyuan, it is difficult to determine whether these people can return to Huzhou at this time.
Su Tan'er is a stubborn person. What will happen to them next has become the thing that Ning Yi misses the most these days. But miss is miss, people are here, can't run away, so they can only accept the situation, at least
There is also Xiaochan who needs to be taken care of.
After gradually recovering from his injuries over the past few days, he and Xiaochan were placed in a small room behind the hospital.
Living in the courtyard, one master and one servant are not clearly restricted from movement, but at this time when people with no background go out and wander around, what they can see is probably not a pleasant scene. Hangzhou has been short of supplies recently, and the two
As prisoners, people were provided with two meals a day, which they could take and cook themselves.
I don’t know who owned the small courtyard before. Most of the household items were gone, and most of the ones left behind were a bit dilapidated. Since the earthquake, some of the houses collapsed and it was not easy to live in. Xiaochan was quite happy to tidy it up a few times.
A few days ago, the old doctor came over and asked Ning Yi what he did before. Ning Yi thought for a while and answered teaching, so he was called to the academy that day to make the best use of his resources and resume his old career.
