In the dusk, in Suzhou City, the boat is like duckweed, gathering and scattering.

"Third brother, Ah Shui has come back." A flat boat, like a swimming fish, seems to be slowly and quickly leaning towards the boat of the three fish.

A little girl of seven or eight years old, sitting at the head of the boat, singing, barefoot, swaying along the boat, playing in the water there. Seeing Sanyu, she stopped singing and waved one arm: "Abba, Abba, I'm back!" ”

The third sister-in-law heard Ah Shui's cry, and hurriedly went out of the cabin, and when she saw Ah Shui, she said angrily: "Ah Shui, it's cold, don't play in the water!" ”

"Grandma, it's okay." Ah Shui replied with a grin, and stirred up a splash even harder.

Sanyu just smiled, but he took out a fish from the fish basket and threw it at the young offspring who was holding the boat, "Boat life, go on." ”

The boatman smiled, didn't panic, inserted the boat's penny, grabbed the flying fish with both hands, and held it in his hand, "It's still the third brother, I know that I love this fish, but it would be better if the third sister-in-law cooked it." ”

"Dead boat, this is for Auntie." The third sister-in-law jumped over the boat and picked up Ah Shui.

The boat student laughed and threw the fish into the fish basket, "Third brother, Boss Zhou in the meeting called you to go to him when you are free, saying that the four sides have not been peaceful recently, and I want to sum it up." ”

Sanyu frowned, this will, referring to the Thousand People Association; This week's boss, named Zhou Tianbao, is the leader of the meeting. This thousand-person association was originally a peasant mutual aid organization in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but after it arrived, it became a good place for scoundrels in the township.

These three fishes, the head of the Suzhou branch of the Thousand People Association, are also quite famous in this area of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang water towns because they are anxious for justice and righteousness, and help the weak and slack money. It's just that over the years, thousands of people have lost their duty to help each other, and they have long ignored the things in the meeting.

This week, Tianbao suddenly called himself, what is the matter?

Sanyu thought silently for a while, and said to the boatman: "You go and tell him that I haven't been free for the past few days, and after this period, I will go to Changshu to find him." ”

The boatman also knew the temperament of the three fishes, agreed, and said: "If the third brother doesn't want to go, I will return to him." ”

"No, it's really not been peaceful lately, and I want to talk to him about it."

The boatman smiled, waved his hand, and said "Hunai", and the boat went.

The remnant sun gradually set, but it stopped at the lower reaches of the river, and the river was up and down, full of afterglow. The green bricks, the small bridges and flowing water, are all paved with a layer of faint red halo. The three-fish boat is slowly walking in this full halo,

"Ah Shui, what did Mr. teach today?" The third sister-in-law was cooking neatly in her hands, and at the same time turned back to ask her daughter.

Ah Shui didn't speak, but suddenly heard a quiet voice coming from the bank of the river: "Brother, I'm going to Shuyuan Lane, I want to take Brother's boat, don't you know how to stop?" ”

Sanyu looked up and saw a woman from a water town, holding a fiery red horse, standing on the shore, although she was only in her twenties, she was graceful and quiet, like a person who had gone through a lot of wind and rain.

"Listening to the girl's accent, it's from Shaoxing, right?" Sanyu smiled, "Ten miles and eight townships, they are all fellow villagers, where is there anything that goes along the way!" Get on the boat, and I'll send you there. But I can't carry your horse. ”

This woman is Yin Ruizhi. She said goodbye to everyone from Shanghai, galloped all the way to Suzhou, and when she got to Suzhou, it was almost dusk, she hesitated for a moment, but decided to go to the governor's yamen immediately to persuade Cheng Dequan to follow the righteousness.

"I don't know if I can come back. So let's keep the horse on a leash here, and if it's dawn, Brother will see that the horse is still here. I just can't come back. This horse will be given to my brother. ”

This was strange, Sanyu was slightly surprised, fortunately, he was a person who had gone through some ups and downs, and he knew that he had encountered right and wrong, but he didn't care, "Girl, money is something outside the body, and enmity is also outside the body." You're still young, don't be too obsessed. Get on the boat, I'll give you a ride. ”

Hearing Sanyu's words, Yin Ruizhi smiled, knowing that the boatman regarded himself as a person in the rivers and lakes seeking revenge, she didn't explain, tied up the horse, took off the long sword and short gun from the horse, and jumped towards Sanyu's boat, but it was like a white feather, and the boat fell silently.

"Good kung fu!" Suddenly, there was a sound of color on the shore.

Yin Ruizhi looked back, but it was a scribe, dressed in a white shirt, with a white horse behind him, slowly pacing over in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Yin Ruizhi turned around, according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, arched his hand, but did not speak, turned around and bowed his head into the cabin.

"Boat family, give me a ride, I'll go to Canglang Pavilion and want to see the five hundred ancestral halls. Just drop by. ”

Sanyu nodded, "People can, but horses can't be carried." ”

The scribe laughed and said, "If you go this time, you may become a sage, and money is something outside the body, what is it worth?" I also tie this horse here, and if it is dawn, I will not return to the horse, and I will give it to the ship's family to dispose of it as I please. ”

After the scribe finished speaking, he casually tied the white horse to the tree, took off his long sword, and fell into the boat, as light as a feather. Sitting on the bow of the boat with his knees crossed, leaning against the canopy, enjoying the twilight of the water and sky.

The three fish steered the boat, swinging leisurely on the river, sometimes cutting off a piece of twilight, sometimes walking in the shadows, and occasionally, a small bridge brushed by. The remnant sun gradually disappeared into the water, but the surface of the river was covered with a layer of broken red, and from a distance, it was floating and golden, and thousands of scales were enthusiastic.

"Ah Shui, what did Mr. teach today?" The sister-in-law paused for a while, still asking her daughter.

Ah Shui looked at the water in the distance, and said to Grandma: "Mr. taught a quatrain," followed by Ah Shui's recitation: "The moon is falling and the sky is full of frost, and Jiang Feng is sleeping." Hanshan Temple outside the city of Gusu, the bell rings in the middle of the night to the passenger ship. ”

"Yes, yes, Ah Shui is really smart." The third sister-in-law was very happy to see her daughter read a poem completely.

Yin Ruizhi looked at Ah Shui, as if he saw himself when he was young, leaning on the canopy of the boat, closing his eyes, but remembering the old days when he came to learn art with Qiu Jin.

The scribe sat at the bow of the boat, smiling slightly. The boat turned a corner, and suddenly there was a lute sound in front of the boat, and there was a song and harmony:

"Bianshui flow,

Surabaya Flow,

It flows to the ancient ferry head of Guazhou.

Si Youyou,

Hate Yoyo,

Hate until you return! ”

Hearing such a singing, Yin Ruizhi frowned, "snorted", and scolded, "It's really a businesswoman, I don't know the hatred of the country!" ”

When the scribe heard this, he shook his head, "What the girl said is a bit excessive, and now although there is some chaos in my Qing Dynasty, it is far from being a dead country." Besides, why should you be harsh about eating and drinking men and women, what people want? ”

Hearing the scribe's words, Yin Ruizhi knew that he had misunderstood what he meant, the death of the country he was talking about was the invasion of foreign Yi and the fall of China, but the death of the country that the scribe was talking about, but it was the death of the Qing Dynasty, the difference between the two, not to mention 108,000 miles?

However, misunderstandings are also good misunderstandings, and Yin Ruizhi also knows what kind of attitude this scribe has towards the revolution.

"I heard that now in Hunan, Hubei, Yunnan, Guizhou and other places, military governments have been established, that is, in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and many places have expelled Qing officials, isn't this a sign of the death of the country?" Yin Ruizhi said tentatively.

When the scribe heard this, he stared at Yin Ruizhi deeply: This is not something that ordinary people can say, this woman seems to be a person with a heart.

Although this anti-party occupies the center of the provinces, the vast majority of localities, counties, towns, and towns still have their hearts in the Qing Dynasty. What's more, the elite of the Beiyang New Army is far beyond the comparison of the armies of the South. I've seen it for so many days, and those routine disputes in the court must have ended. This chaos is only too long, and it will certainly not appear if there is such a long period of turmoil as Hong Yang more than 50 years ago. ”

"How did I hear that in the autumn exercises of the imperial court, the Beiyang New Army was repeatedly defeated?" Yin Ruizhi asked lightly.

If you want to talk about the front, it is just to make the scribe feel that Yin Ruizhi is a person with a heart, this sentence completely made the scribe right. People who even know the results of the autumn exercises of the imperial court will not be ordinary people. What kind of identity it was, the scribe had already vaguely guessed in his heart.

"So, the girl thinks that this great amount of clear air is exhausted?" The scribe asked rhetorically.

"Losing power and humiliating the country, corrupting and autocratic, mutilating the Han people, destroying the cultural context, all these things, if you still don't die, isn't it my Han people, too cowardly?"

"The girl said this, and I dare not agree." The scribe pondered for a moment, but said,

"If it is said that the loss of power and humiliation of the country, it is a sea ban, but this sea ban is a clear system, and the grievances cannot be cleared; At the beginning of the founding of the Ming and Qing dynasties, all of them had the merit of chasing the northern desert and expanding the territory, but the territory of the Qing Dynasty was far better than that of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the martial arts of the Qing Dynasty were better than Zhu Ming; If it is said that at this moment, the Yidi Rebellion in China, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were also Japanese robbers rampant in the southeastern provinces, and Zhu Ming was helpless for a while. It is still difficult for Zhu Ming to expel the Japanese rogues, not to mention that today's countries invade our country with the strength of the whole country? This skill is not as good as people, it is not as good as people, and there is no choice but to make the alliance of Weishui, and the history is endless, and it is not a crime of purity. ”

"To talk about autocracy is even more nonsense. In that year, Gengzi was in turmoil, and the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded the national capital, and the governors of the southeast region formed an alliance with each other, made peace with the Eight Nations, and did not participate in the Battle of Gengzi. From this point of view, where is the slightest bit of autocracy in this Qing Dynasty? And now that the Wuchang army is in turmoil, if it is really autocratic, then the Beiyang New Army will send Wuchang as soon as possible, why wait and wait? ”

"If it is said that the Han people are mutilated, there is a Qing Dynasty, and at the beginning of the founding of the country, there were indeed three massacres in Jiading in Yangzhou in ten days, all kinds of unbearable. But don't forget, Zhu Ming Daxing degenerate the people, Hongwu depreciates Zhang Chen's subordinates, Yongle degrades the Ministry of Culture, so far the southeastern provinces, there are still their descendants, the girl is a Shaoxing people, should know the suffering of the local degenerate people, what I said is true. In ancient times, the high and low were already shared. When the Han people were in power, they were more serious than those of the Qing Dynasty, and the history is endless. ”

"If it is said that the context is destroyed, in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the great Confucians of the Han family had many such ideas, and they also established the Han Liuyi lineage to inherit the unique learning. But since the Kangxi Dynasty, it has gradually dissolved, why? The Qing dynasty attached great importance to the Confucian tradition, which was no less than that of the Han people, and there was a Qing dynasty, the inheritance and development of Han culture, and the subset of economic history. Fifty years ago, Hong Yang, although he was a Han Chinese, created his own cult, burned classics, destroyed Confucian temples, and cut off the cultural context. If such people are really allowed to gain power, then the people of Li will look forward to the return of Zeng Huzuo and Li Zhugong to protect our Chinese Taoist ......"

The scribe made a big comment, but Yin Ruizhi felt annoyed. Without waiting for the man to finish, she interjected and asked, "Who are you speaking for the Manchus like this?" ”

The man sighed slightly and said, "Don't hide it, in Xia Delying, Manchuria is a white flag person!" ”
