Yang Deng hugged Xiaodouzi and dangled anxiously in front of the Western clock in the house, glancing at the hands on the big clock from time to time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As the pendulum swayed, the hands slowly but resolutely rotated along their tracks, and by this time, they were already pointing to 5:58.

The room was quiet, the three old men were there, Tang Qi, Lin Jingru, and Qin Jie were also there, Lin Jingru was holding Tang Qi with her left hand and Qin Jie with her right hand, and the hands of the three of them were clasped tightly together, and each other's palms were in cold sweat.

The atmosphere in the room was frighteningly dull, and no one spoke, and no one wanted to speak.

Everyone's eyes were staring at the long hands of the Western clock, and even Yang Yiyan pricked up his ears and quietly listened to the sound of the pendulum.

The little bean in Yang Deng's arms was surprisingly quiet today, he didn't cry or make trouble, he tied his two little arms and hugged Yang Deng's neck tightly, as if he was comforting Yang Deng.

It's just that people are not in the mood to tease Xiaodouzi at the moment, otherwise Xiaodouzi's every move would have become people's pistachios.

"When, when, when, when, when, when", with the sound of the spring clockwork, the Western clock rang a clear chime, breaking the silence in the room.

At this time, it was already six o'clock in the afternoon of the 6th of the Old Summer Palace time.

According to historical records, in the Second Opium War, the British and French troops bypassed the northeastern suburbs of the capital on the 6th of the month and went straight to the Old Summer Palace.

The French army was the first to rush through Haidian and stormed into the Old Summer Palace in the evening.

To be precise, the French army attacked the Old Summer Palace at about 17:40 on the evening of the 6th of the month, and met Ren Liang, the leader of the eight skilled eunuchs of the Old Summer Palace, led more than 20 eunuchs to resist stubbornly, and in the end, Ren Liang and more than 20 skilled eunuchs all died in Xianliangmen.

By 19 o'clock, the British and French forces completely occupied the Old Summer Palace.

However, at the beginning of the occupation, the British and French forces did not loot the Old Summer Palace on a large scale, and those British and French soldiers visited the Old Summer Palace in groups, and the loss of individual treasures was also secretly carried out in the form of personal theft.

It wasn't until the next day, after the leaders of the British and French forces entered the Old Summer Palace, that they tore off their disguised faces and officially opened the curtain of their frenzied plundering under an inexplicable pretext.

Hearing the bell, all the people in the room couldn't help but tremble.

After six sounds, Yang Deng couldn't stay calm anymore, she turned around and looked at the three old men and said, "It's already six o'clock, why haven't Douzi come back yet?!" No, I'm going to see the beans, maybe ......"

"No nonsense." Yang Yiyi stopped drinking, interrupting Yang Deng's maybe.

Lin Jingru got up from the sofa, she walked quickly to Yang Deng's side, hugged her Xiaodouzi tightly in her arms, and said comfortingly: "Deng, don't worry, Douzi will be fine, let's wait, wait." ”

What Yang Deng said just now was maybe, but he actually wanted to say that maybe he could help Tang Dou a little, but he was interrupted by Yang Yiyan and changed to another meaning.

Yang Deng stuffed the little bean in his arms to Lin Jingru, and said anxiously: "Mom, you help me hold the little bean, only I can go to the Old Summer Palace to help the beans, and I am also familiar with the Old Summer Palace, maybe he will come back as soon as he sees me." ”

"I'll go, you stay at home." , Tang Qi stood up from the sofa.

"Don't make a mess of it." Lin Jingru turned her head and yelled at Tang Qi.

You're wearing a one-way crossing ring, can you get it back when you go? Even if you can come back, do you want the beans to chop your fingers, or do you want the lamp to chop your fingers?

Tang Qi looked at Lin Jingru silently, one hand had already touched the crossing ring, and he was in a state of crossing at any time.

I go, I have no intention of coming back, if something happens to Douzi, I will accompany him to die, if Douzi is injured, I can desperately protect him from the Old Summer Palace, at least, I can help him block a bullet by his side.

"Don't even make any noise." Yang shouted loudly at each glance.

Don't look at Qin Yanpei in the family, who is the oldest and has the highest seniority, but Yang Yiyan is the backbone of this family, and now that he has spoken, all the people in the room have quieted down.

Yang Yan stretched out his hands to Yang Deng with a dark face: "Give me the little bean, you go to the Old Summer Palace to take a look, if you see that stinky boy and order him to come back immediately, just say that Lao Tzu said it." ”

"No", Lin Jingru interrupted Yang Yiyan's words without hesitation, this was the first time she openly opposed Yang Yiyan's opinion.

Lin Jingru held Yang Deng and Xiaodouzi tightly in her arms, glared at Yang and said, "Deng is your daughter, and she is also my daughter, I will never allow her to take risks at this time." ”

"In-laws, just let the lamp go over and take a look, maybe that stinky boy didn't notice the time." Yang Yiyi showed a sad expression for the first time, and the words he said also carried the meaning of explanation.

"Douzi has told me, no matter what, you can't let the lamp go to the Old Summer Palace, maybe, now the Old Summer Palace is full of foreign devils, and the lamp is a girl's ......" As she spoke, Lin Jingru couldn't help but close her mouth, but she hugged Yang Deng even more nervously, especially the hand that Yang Deng wore with the crossing ring.

Hearing that Lin Jingru's hypothetical Anglo-French army had rushed into the Old Summer Palace, Yang Deng was even more restless, she struggled with Lin Jingru vigorously, and pleaded with tears: "Mom, just let me go, let me help Douzi, even if I die, I will die with him." ”

Yang slapped the table with a bang.

The more he talked, the more unspeakable he became, but, in the face of this situation, the wise Yang was also helpless, he only hated, hated that the ring on Yang Deng's hand was not on his hand, otherwise he would have flown to the stinky boy to see what the stinky boy was doing if he didn't come back until this time.

Before Tang Dou crossed to the Old Summer Palace for the last time, he swore in front of everyone that as long as it was six o'clock in the afternoon of the Old Summer Palace time, no matter what happened in the Old Summer Palace, he would definitely cross back on time.

However, it was already 6:05, and the stinky boy hadn't come back yet.

In normal times, even if this kid is not home for a day, the family will not be anxious for him, and even when he comes back, they will tease him, and go to find an emperor to be happy.

Today, however, it is extraordinary.

This kid went to the Old Summer Palace, the Old Summer Palace that the British and French forces were about to set fire to.

What the hell is he doing now? (To be continued.) )
