Chen Xuan walked out of the house, and Xiao Er and Xiao Qi also followed behind.

"Where are you two going?"

"Where is Brother Xuan, we will go?"

"No need, two brothers, I'll go out for a walk, I'll be back in a while, if you two are bored, you can also go out for a walk, you can go wherever you like, come, this is for you."

Chen Xuan took out two oceans and threw them to Xiao Er.

"Thank you, Brother Xuan!"

"Didn't you tell you to play by yourself, why are you still following me?"

"Brother Heng has ordered, no matter where Brother Xuan goes, the two of us must follow."

Chen Xuan understood, and said why the two of them have been following him for the past few days, Xiao Er and Xiao Qi are the most clever and skilled of Sun Zhiheng's brothers, Sun Zhiheng should have told them to protect Chen Xuan when he left.

But Chen Xuan is going to pick up girls, how can he bring two tails, he was drunk the night before yesterday, how can he take them today? But no matter how Chen Xuan coerced and lured, the two of them were still tendons, and they followed behind Chen Xuan, not Chen Xuan was so angry that he couldn't do it, and jumped on the small truck while the two of them were not paying attention, and ran away, but when they arrived at the Dating Lotus Courtyard, they found that the two were sitting steadily in the carriage.

When I entered the courtyard gate, I saw a couple in their forties cleaning up the yard.

"Hello Aunt Juan, is Miss Ting He at home?"

Chen Xuan had heard that he called this middle-aged woman, so he also learned to call it that.

"Here, it's Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen, please."

Aunt Juan led Chen Xuan upstairs, but Xiao Er and Xiao Qi didn't follow each other, only to see Tinghe looking at him with a smile.

"It's rare that you didn't get drunk today? What do you have in your hands? ”

Tinghe teased.

"How can I drink every day, oh, for you."

Chen Xuan handed the flower pot in his hand to the low table by the window, and Tinghe walked over happily, carefully uncovering the paper bag on the flower pot.

"Oh, it's so good-looking, has Yiyang made a fortune recently?"

"Why do you say that?"

"You are now hugging back and forth, you should have a different identity!"

Listening to He's teasing, Chen Xuan rolled his eyes.

"Don't mess with me today, I'm depressed, be careful that I beat you."

"Ahh Really beaten? ”

"What a beating! Hit hard! ”

Chen Xuan pretended to be fierce.

"For my own safety, then I have to accommodate Yiyang today."

"A must!"

Tinghe took out a pair of tea sets and placed them on the low table, skillfully operated them, and the smooth movements were pleasing to the eye, and Chen Xuan was stupid.

"If you stare at me again, I'll beat you!"

"Really beaten?"

"What a beating, a hard beating!"

Listening to the lotus sneer, Chen Xuan had a good experience of what it means to look back and smile, and when he saw Chen Xuan still staring at him, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Then what's wrong with Yiyang today?"

"Tricked by an old fox."

"Then this old fox must be very smart!"

"He's smart? He's just taking advantage of my trust, otherwise he could have lied to me? Hum! ”

Chen Xuan strengthened his tone in order to show that he was very powerful.

"Then he's smart too, at least he won, isn't he?"

"That's because there's a reason!"

"But he still won!"

"Do you have to raise the bar?"

Chen Xuan leaned on the couch and looked at Tinghe's eyes with a threatening look, but his gaze didn't seem to have any pressure on Tinghe, and he was defeated first.

"Can you tell me?"

Chen Xuan naturally said what happened in the morning, and Tinghe didn't interject, just quietly listened to Chen Xuan's affairs, the two were like friends who had known each other for a long time, one was talking and the other was listening.

"There are a lot of things to do in Yiyang!"

Tinghe sighed slightly.

"You're not afraid?"

"Why be afraid?"

"Aren't girls supposed to be scared to hear about these weapons, guns, or whatever? Xiaohe is really not afraid? ”

"Should I be afraid?"

"Uh。。。。。。"

Chen Xuan didn't know how to pick it up, Tinghe sighed slightly, and then smiled again, but there was something in the smile, Chen Xuan didn't ask, who didn't have some stories? The two slowly fell into silence, and when he handed over the teacup, Chen Xuan drank the tea.

Although they didn't speak, they weren't embarrassed, both of them seemed to enjoy this tranquility very much, and no one wanted to break it, so they quietly listened to the birds and cicadas outside the window, and watched the dragonflies flying in the yard flying up and down from the lotus leaves in the pool, Chen Xuan's tiredness came up, and he slowly fell asleep.

"Miss, Mr. Chen?"

Chen Xuan woke up from his daze, and happened to see Tinghe who was asleep on the low table and screamed softly, and ran back to the room with a red face.

"Mr. Chen."

"Oh, it's Aunt Juan, what's wrong?"

Chen Xuan realized that it was the neat and neat middle-aged woman who was calling herself.

"Mr. Chen, your companion should come over and spread the word that someone from your family has arrived, so let you go back quickly."

"Oh, okay, thank you, Aunt Juan."

Chen Xuan rubbed his face with both hands, but saw Tinghe come back with a basin of water, put it on the low table, wring out the towel in the basin and handed it to Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan naturally took the towel and wiped it on his face, Chen Xuan didn't feel abrupt, and Tinghe didn't feel awkward, the two seemed to have cooperated countless times.

"Little Lotus."

"Huh?"

"I have to go back?"

"Hmm!"

"I'll come to see you in two days."

"Hmm!"

Tinghe watched Chen Xuan walk downstairs, walk through the courtyard, wave his hand at the gate of the courtyard, and slowly disappear from sight, Tinghe's mouth showed a hint of a smile, recalling that he actually fell asleep with a man in the living room inexplicably, and the shame on his face gradually surfaced, but he didn't find that Aunt Juan looked at her doting eyes through a trace of worry or what.

"Brother Xuan, Brother Heng is back!"

Xiao Er said excitedly.

"The wild cow is back, where is it?"

"I've gone to the escort team now, and I've brought a lot of people with me!"

"Oh good! Let's rush back now. ”

In the camp of the escort team, a noise came, it should have heard the roar of the small truck motor, and a group of people greeted him in a black pressure, I am afraid that there are not three or four hundred people, and the official Zhao Xuechu and others who are in the lead also let Chen Xuan's heart go down.

"Brother, I'm back!"

Sun Zhiheng ran to the front and said proudly:

"These are my senior brothers and my hometown blind dates, we can go and beat those bastards."

Sun Zhiheng pointed to the group of people who were pressed by the black, where was the group of people saluting nondescriptly, some people clasped their fists with both hands, some people bowed, and so on, Chen Xuan had a big head, these are some rabble, but he couldn't show it on his face, he greeted everyone one by one, and after a circle, people didn't remember a few, but they made themselves dizzy.

arranged for everyone to eat and drink well, and said a few more words, Chen Xuan dragged Sun Zhiheng to the house.

"How many people did you bring me, kid?"

"More than two hundred."

Sun Zhiheng pinched Nuo Nuo and said, looking at Chen Xuan with a little weakness.

"How much is two hundred?"

"Two hundred and eighty-five."

"Whew! Oh, my God! Didn't I tell you that it's okay to have thirty or twenty, you bring so many people, can we afford to raise them? ”

Chen Xuan held his forehead with his hand, and was speechless.

"Brother, I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't bring so many people here, but, but it's really too difficult at home, Hebei is in drought every year, and there is not much left after the crops are paid for rent, and the government is constantly collecting food and salaries to suppress bandits, and now the people in my hometown can't survive, the seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl doesn't even have to wear clothes, the old people starve themselves to death in order to save food, the little girl is okay, she can sell it to a big family as a maid, or even sell it to a brothel, and the boy is thrown away directly。。。。。。"

Sun Zhiheng covered his face with his hands and squatted down, and the unkempt young man of more than one meter and eight meters looked so helpless.

"What you said is true?"

Chen Xuan was completely shocked, he didn't expect that the things presented in the history books were real, after coming to this world, he has been living in Shanghai, and observed that although the people living in Shanghai are also extremely hard, at least they can live, but they didn't expect the people in the mainland to live so miserably!

"I didn't believe it was true at first, after getting off the boat in Tianjin, all the way to the north, the corpses on the side of the road continued, everywhere you could see wild dogs tearing, black crows pecking in the wilderness, people fleeing the famine one after another ran out of the pass, we inquired, a lot of people from Shandong, you gave us the ocean in addition to being useful in Tianjin, there was no place to use it along the way, all the way to the village hungry, only to find that my grandparents are gone, my uncle is gone, I heard my cousin say, Grandparents ran to the mountains by themselves to starve themselves to death, the uncle ate too much Guanyin soil and couldn't pull it out, suffocated himself to death, you gave me the ocean I left in addition to the travel expenses, all went to Li Dahu's house to buy food, but, but 1500 oceans, only bought 5000 catties of grain, Li Dahu's housekeeper told us, buy if you like to buy, if you don't buy it, get out! The grain was bought, and after walking less than 10 miles, it was robbed by the hungry people, and those hungry people were not afraid of death, thousands of people rushed up, and their left hand was cut off and grabbed with their right hands, and they did not let go, and we killed a lot of people, many people, and we were unable to raise our arms, and finally only grabbed a few hundred catties of grain back, and then those hungry people fought hard with each other, and hundreds of people died for this bit of food。。。。。。 It shouldn't be like this, brother, it shouldn't be like this! ”

Sun Zhiheng cried loudly, crying heartbreakingly, Zhang Jingyun, Bai Xunjian, Li Luqing beside him also had red eyes, Du Xin and Lu Xiaoyu also sobbed, Chen Xuan saw the ambition, anger and powerless sadness in the eyes of Sven and steady Zhao Xuechu, Chen Xuan himself was also depressed, how pale the words in the book were, when a living example is placed in front of you, no matter how hard-hearted you are, can you be indifferent?

"Yiyang, I'm sorry, I'm leaving!"

Li Luqing raised his head suddenly, said a word to Chen Xuan, turned around and walked away, and Bai Xunjian grabbed him.

"Where are you going so late?"

"I go to the League, the Manchus will not die, the Tatars will not be expelled, is there still hope for our country, is there still hope for our compatriots? The people of the League have approached me, I know where they are, I want to join the League, even if I am in a different place, even if I am broken, I will go, if I can't do something for my compatriots, I will go crazy! ”

"Let's go together!"

"Let's go together!"

Zhang Jingyun and Bai Xunjian said in unison.
