The day I just left home, I was very sad.

Originally, because of the grievances and anger generated by Yu Xiao'er's time, he was slightly diluted by a burden from his parents, and he felt more guilty and sad. With the thoughtfulness of his father and brother to his family, he would tolerate his departure from home at this time, which is a great concession; The mother's temperament is weak, and she doesn't know how many tears she shed; With the character of Aunt Gua and the first sister of the junior high school, when they go home in the future, they will have to be beaten violently; And Aunt Hong is even more gentle, now that she thinks about it, she will definitely not be able to hide it from her when she leaves home, and the reason why she has not been taken back is probably because her father has hindered her.

Although he was only fourteen or fifteen years old, he had already been on the battlefield and knew what the greatest doom would befall every family. The world outside the southwest is not peaceful, and if I really can't come back, how much suffering will my family endure. Just like the younger siblings in the family, if they happen to the battlefield one day, they will be so sad that they want to kill everyone.

At night, when I was in the post station, I felt a thousand emotions in my heart, and I couldn't help but want to go back immediately when I thought of my family, especially my younger brothers and sisters. Mother is probably still crying, and I don't know if my father and aunt can comfort her, Wenwen and Ning Ke may also cry, and they feel very distressed when they think about it......

Thinking about it like this, I couldn't sleep at night, so I climbed on the roof and sat for a long time. The night breeze in May is refreshing and pleasant, the small market that has developed from the post station is still lit up, there are some pedestrians on the road, the light of torches and lanterns is centered on the market, extending into a curved crescent, and the light of villagers' activities can be seen in the distant villages, and the sound of dogs barking can occasionally be heard.

Sitting in this state until late at night, most of the people had already fallen asleep, and there was a squirming movement in the room not far away. Ning Ji remembered the days of peeping at the little cheap dog in Chengdu, but then shook his head again, women are all bad embryos, what do you want her to do, maybe she is dead outside.

When the night was dark, he went back to lie down, tossed and turned for a while, and gradually fell asleep.

I got up the next day, and after a set of punches in the courtyard of the inn, it was another day of sea and sky.

Of course, it's good to go back, but this time I coaxed, and it will be difficult to come out for the rest of my life. He has been trained by a group of martial arts masters for so many years, and he has been fighting in a battlefield environment, he is no longer a child who can't think for himself, and his martial arts have reached a bottleneck.

After all, there is such a thing as martial arts and boxing, and the foundation of practice at home is very important, but after the foundation is reached, it is the actual combat full of malice again and again that can make people improve. There are many masters in the southwest family, and it is one thing to let go of the fight, and you will definitely not be able to beat it, but if you know the roots, if you really want to form a huge sense of oppression on yourself, it will become less and less.

Last year in Chengdu, Uncle Chen Fan took the opportunity of one hit three and deliberately pretended that he couldn't keep his hand before throwing such a punch. I thought I was almost dead, and when my whole body was highly frightened, I had the possibility of mobilizing all reactions in my brain, and after it was over, I benefited a lot, but in such a situation, even Aunt Hong, she couldn't do it now.

There are also many outlaws in the army, and they are the best at fighting to the death, but if you want to fight them, you may not be able to stop it. Hurting anyone is no small matter.

In martial arts, the kind of situation of experiencing the line of life and death and then improving oneself is called "stealing the sky". Walking high wooden stakes has this principle, and some people choose to practice boxing on the edge of a cliff deep in the mountains, which can fall to their death at any time, and the effect is better. It's the same on the battlefield, the mental tension all the time can make people mature quickly, but the situation on the battlefield has already been experienced.

When I was young, I just started to learn, the way of martial arts is like the boundless sea, how can I not see the shore, Aunt Gua, Aunt Hong, they have to use all their skills to resist, a few times they pretended to miss, hit the fierce and fast place "accidentally" cut themselves a sword, they want to be so afraid that they sweat all over. But these are all "traps" that they point to stop, and after those battles, they can benefit a lot.

After experiencing the southwest battlefield, killing many enemies with his own hands and then returning to the rear, this sense of fear has been rapidly weakened, Aunt Hong, Aunt Gua, and Uncle Chen are still powerful, but to what extent they are powerful, they can already see clearly in their hearts.

Later, on some occasions, he heard his father and Aunt Hong say that he was walking too fast and should not go to the battlefield. If you don't go to the battlefield, you can still improve for a few years before you can touch this boundary, after going to the battlefield, the mentality of actual combat has been solid, and the rest is nothing more than the strength improvement brought by the natural development of the body, and you can go forward for a while.

My father has rarely fought in recent years, but the theory of martial arts is of course very high.

The southwest is too mild, like its four seasons, and no one will kill him, and his father's wings cover everything. If he continues to stay, even if he keeps practicing, he will always be some distance away from Aunt Hong and Aunt Gua. If you want to cross this distance, you can only go out, go to the place where the tigers and wolves are waiting, and the wind and snow are roaring, sharpen yourself, and truly become the first dragon in the world...... No, rather.

As for Yu Xiao'er on that dog day - forget it, I can't scold her like this - she's just an excuse.

The young body is strong and energetic, and he has eaten half a table of breakfast in the inn, and he has done a good job of psychological construction. Even the hatred was put down a little, and he was really positive and healthy, only to chuckle when he paid the bill later. People who practice martial arts eat too much, and when they leave the southwest, they may not be able to eat openly, which is the first big test.

Leaving the inn, the warm morning sun had risen, and there were many pedestrians on the road outside the town.

A few roads from Zhangcun to Chengdu, Ning Ji has not walked for the first time, but at this time, he ran away from home, and he had a very different state of mind. He walked along the main road for a while, then left the main road and ran along the various paths.

The Chengdu Plain is mostly a flat river, the young man ran through the field, ran through the woods, ran through the ridges, ran through the villages, the sun flashed through the shadows of the trees, the yellow dogs of the surrounding villagers rushed out to pounce on him, he hahahaha dodged for a while, but there was no dog that could get close to him.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, I spent the night in the wilderness, and on the afternoon of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, I entered the suburbs of Chengdu.

With the ancient city as the center, from the southwest to the northeast, a busy commercial system has been built. In and around the villages on the outskirts of the city, new factories and workshops of all sizes have been built. Incomplete shelters and newly built compounds encroached on the original houses and farmland, and a large number of workers from other places lived in simple dormitories.

White lime can be seen everywhere, scattered on the side of the road, around the houses, although it is only on the outskirts of the city, but the road can still be seen often with red armbands of staff - Ning Ji feels friendly when he sees such an image - they go through the villages, to the factories and workshops to check the hygiene, although they also take care of some trivial public security incidents, but the main thing is to check the hygiene.

My father and brother's first requirement for the crowd was to keep everyone in good hygiene, and the workers who came in from other places were to undergo intensive training when they arrived, and they were repeatedly ordered not to defecate in the open around the factory. And if every factory wants to open, the first thing it needs to prepare is a unified public toilet and a disinfected lime reserve - these things Ning Ji had heard his father say a few times, and when he came back at this time, he saw the changes around Chengdu in the past year.

The roads leading to the city have now widened, but they are still lively and crowded. Due to the construction of factories in the villages on the outskirts of the city, there are also several lively markets outside the city, and some snacks that can only be seen in the city can also be bought here at this time, and the prices are cheaper than last year, so that Xiao Ningji is very lingering here for a while.

For the Southwest Huaxia Army, the biggest victory was the great victory against Jin in the past two years. This victory led to trade orders from various warlords, such as Liu Guangshi, and at the same time as a large number of official orders arrived, all kinds of civilian merchants also flocked to it. The price of goods in the southwest has skyrocketed, and the original production capacity has long been in short supply, so large and small factories have been launched rapidly. And at least for a year or two, Chengdu will be in a state where it can sell as much as it produces, which is not an illusion, but a reality that everyone can clearly see.

The west and south sides of the city have now been designated as official production areas, some villages and populations are still being relocated, and factories of all sizes are under construction, and many have already started production. There is a huge trading area to the east and north of the city, where most of the raw materials and finished products needed by the factory are physically delivered. This is a pattern that has gradually formed around Chengdu from last year to the present.

Due to the rapid development, the surrounding scene seems busy and chaotic, but for the people of this era, it is probably unparalleled prosperity and prosperity.

As for the interior of the old city wall of Chengdu, it is naturally still the political, economic, and cultural center of the entire Huaxia military forces.

Wealthy businessmen would come into the city to talk about expensive business, and perhaps only once when they needed to do a field survey. Love me

The Confucian scholars who were full of wealth and wealth were engaged in a war of words with people here, and the newsprint on this side had the most well-informed sources in the whole world, and also had the most free polemical atmosphere, and they sat in the inn, without even going out, and could enrich their knowledge of the world day by day.

Knights from all over the world will not miss this new and prosperous city, even if it is just a pawn of a peddler who has come from afar, they will not just stay outside the city and leave......

Ning Ji, who hadn't been here for nearly a year, entered Chengdu City after night on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and he could still remember many familiar places: the small courtyard of the little cheap dog, the liveliness of Yingbin Road, the small courtyard where he lived on Pingrong Road - it was a pity that it was blown up, the hot pot in the Squirrel Pavilion, the venue of the world's first martial arts competition, and the small medical hall where Aunt Gu was ......

He had the heart to take a walk around Chengdu again, and also to see Aunt Gu, who was still in the city at this time - maybe the little cheap dog suffered all the hardships outside, and ran back to Chengdu crying and crying, she was not a bad person after all, just stupid, dull, stupid, weak and unlucky, and this was not her fault, and the crime was not to death - but after thinking about it, it was all done.

Dad hurriedly returned to Zhangcun to deal with his own affairs, and now that he has dealt with it, maybe he will return to Chengdu. With his character, if he catches himself in Chengdu, he will probably have to put his hands on his hips and laugh: "Rabbit cub, I gave you a chance." "Even if you leave my father aside, it is very likely that my brother and sister-in-law will do this. Especially her sister-in-law, let her catch up and be beaten up.

It's no different from a thief's base.

He must quickly get out of this land of right and wrong.

According to the experience here last year, many caravans coming to Chengdu would gather in the market in the northeast of the city. Due to the fact that the outside world is not peaceful in these years, many caravans that run long distances will take some passengers along the way, on the one hand, they will collect part of the fare, and on the other hand, they will be able to take care of each other on the road. Of course, if there are thieves in the team at a time, it will probably be miserable, so there is often a selection of fellow guests.

In the past nearly a year, Ning Ji has received a lot of training in the army that can be used to go out, and it is not a big problem for one person to go out of Sichuan. But considering that on the one hand, there will still be a gap between training and practice, and on the other hand, a fifteen-year-old young man walking outside and carrying a burden, the possibility of being targeted alone is greater, so on the first trip out of Sichuan, he still decided to go with others first.

That night I went to buy a medicine kit and bought some medicines. The next morning, he went to find a caravan that had left today for fear of being targeted by the bad guys. In the morning, the team of 32 pack horses and more than 130 people fled from Chengdu......

……

"This brother, in Xialu Wenke, a native of Hongzhou, Jiangnan Road, I don't know where the little brother's name comes from......"

The caravan of more than 100 people mixed on the road to the northeast of the river, the flow of people was mighty, and after walking a short distance, a tall and thin scholar who loved to make friends next to him came over to greet him and exchange names.

Ning Ji has a cheerful and lively personality, and he is also a friend who loves to make friends, so he gave his hand at the moment: "In Xialong Aotian." ”

“…… What the...... Sky? ”

"Dragon! Proud! Sky! "Rather than a word.

The thin and tall Lu Wenke closed his mouth and took a breath, glared at him for a long time before he clenched his fists in admiration: "The name of the little brother is really atmospheric." ”

"That's what it says."

"Where's the little brother? Where is it going? ”

"Jiang Ning." Ning Ji said, "My hometown is in Jiangning, and I have never been there, so I want to go over and see it this time." ”

"Jiangning ......," Lu Wenke's tone lowered, "It used to be a good place over there, but now it'...... It's kind of bad. After the new emperor ascended the throne over there, the Jurchens slaughtered and burned the city in Jiangning, and their vitality has not recovered, and they have been making trouble with the fairness party recently, I am afraid that there are no more people......

"It's okay, it's a long way, and when you get there, maybe Jiangning has already been built again." Long Aotian smiled.

Lu Wenke's body was shocked, and he admired his fists: "Little Brother Long is really open-minded." ”

The road from Chengdu to Chuchuan stretches forward, all kinds of pedestrians and vehicles on the road are staggered, and in front of them is a family of four, the couple with their father, son, and mule do not know where to go; Behind is a charlatan with a cheeky face and a caravan dart master talking about something, and they let out a lewd laugh together, and this kind of laughter will also be made by Yao Shubin, who speaks meat words on the battlefield, which makes Ning Ji feel cordial.

The tall and thin scholar named Lu Wenke next to him was quite talkative, and after communicating with each other, he began to point out the country and talk about his harvest in Chengdu.

“…… In the southwest, although there are all kinds of deviances, what I have seen and heard in the past few months is truly miraculous. I was in Hongzhou, and I boasted that I had read poetry and books, but when I saw the Jurchen raging and the world was in turmoil, I felt that there was no way to think of it. But after coming to the southwest, I saw that the study of things and the method of management are so simple and thorough. After understanding these methods, I will return to Hongzhou, and there is a lot to do, Brother Long, the sea and the sky, the sea and the sky, Brother Long! ”

"Admiration, admiration, reasonable, reasonable......" Long Aotian gave his hand in admiration.

The road ahead is rather a familiar place. It will lead all the way to Zizhou, and then out of Zizhou, cross the Wangyuan Bridge, and enter the mountains in front of the Jianmen Pass, where he and the people of the Huaxia Army once fought bloody battles with the Jurchens at various nodes in those mountains, where the bones of countless heroes are buried - although it is also the burial place of many Jurchen invaders, but even if there are ghosts and gods, the victors are not afraid of them at all.

Further on, they passed through the Sword Gate Pass, and the world outside, Ning Ji no longer understood. The fog is rolling over there, or the sky is wide, and at this time, he is full of expectations for all this.

……

At the same moment, Ning Yi, the big devil who was dodged by the little chivalrous guest Long Aotian, was in Leshan at this time, caring about Lin Jingwei's injury.

This old man, who is not very capable of scientific research, is also the most outstanding official who has arranged the research work in an orderly manner under Ning Yi since the time of Xiao Canghe. At this time, due to the explosion of the boiler of the prototype steam engine, he was extensively injured and was engaged in a difficult struggle with death.

Thousands of miles away, a certain little emperor who would probably covet Lin Jingwei's position if he was in the Huaxia Army had also received a gift from the southwest at this time, and began to build a more functional Gewu Research Institute. On the southeast coast, the new emperor's innovations were generous and radical, but of course, he was also facing his own problems, which were beginning to emerge from the dark to the light......
