August is fleeting. gratis

In late autumn, the leaves of Hangzhou are falling, piling up on top of each other on the road, and the wind has become warm and cool.

At this time in previous years, it is the best day in the south of the Yangtze River, Hangzhou merchants gather, lively and prosperous, people call friends and friends, go on a long trip, all kinds of literati poetry in the city will be endless, as if the banner of the teahouse restaurant is filled with the fragrance of ink, the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, the warbler song and swallow dance, all night long.

"Now it's just a matter of time."

Putting down the stone grinding plate used to exercise in his hand, Chen Fan clapped his hands and exhaled. It was still morning, and the man was shirtless, finishing his routine workout and putting on his clothes. The sun is shining down, and the leaves are falling in the wind.

As a disciple of Fang Qi Buddha who was above 10,000 people under one person in Fang La's army, although he was still in charge of the security of the entire Hangzhou City earlier, the courtyard where the man named Chen Fan lived at this time was not luxurious. There is even a hole in the courtyard wall on one side, and a small part of it has been repaired, but the dirt bricks and tiles are placed in the corner, and it seems that it has not been started for a long time.

Most people who are familiar with Chen Fan know the simplicity of his life—or those who are closer to him know that this may be called roughness—he doesn't pay much attention to things in life, and his greatest interest is to raise the bar with others, find faults, or fight. He has no family, the three subordinates in the yard are a family, the most intuitive name can be said to be the old man and the old woman and the fat aunt who is lame, even the fat aunt who is a nv child is in her early forties and has died of her husband. The three of them have been sheltered in Chen Fan's house for several years, although they are said to be subordinates, but in the eyes of others, it may be more like Chen Fan has just made do with them.

So for this kind of person who has always been on the verge of getting by, there is really no position to say the words that "have to". An Xifu, who came to find him, chewed the burrito, and his expression was a little disapproving.

"Life is still very good, today there are three poetry meetings in the south of the city, and these literati are very interesting to try. I heard them say that the girls in Wenjunlou are good, they are recently choosing a new Ākui, and they are also working hard in their performances, and there is a ...... Ye Zhi is still a girl called Ye Jun, there are a large number of generals to cheer every night, you have no share, but if you meet someone you know, you can go and rub it. ”

"It's more fun to find an excuse for everyone to be jealous and get into a fight."

"Everyone knows that you are in love, and they will not fight with you. I've been hearing you talk about the war in the north before, why don't you go now? ”

"It's almost over." After getting dressed, and then going to the well to drink a few sips of water, Chen Fan took a burrito wrapped in cucumber and rò on the side, and took a big bite, "What's more...... Recently, things have been more interesting at Wenlie Academy. ”

"You take the child's business seriously." An Xifu hesitated for a moment, and then laughed.

"It's different, it's interesting...... And I'm talking about that Ning Liheng, not that group of children. ”

An Xifu sighed: "I believe it, do you believe it?" ”

"Ha Luha, I believe it."

The two of them were talking, walking towards the courtyard mén, and when they came out of the mén, they met the fat aunt who was in the same courtyard as Chen Fan limping in, Chen Fan raised the burrito in his hand: "Aunt Yu, if you are free in the morning, take a bag of millet from the warehouse and go to the academy to beat it, I am afraid that it will not be able to take the turn if it is late." ”

"Yes, young master." Aunt Yu replied in a proper manner, "I'll take a few more bags and finish it today." ”

"Don't, people have to use it too, take your time."

Autumn is crisp, and everything that touches the eye seems to be a little comfortable. The two young generals in Fang La's army were talking as they walked towards the fine willow street occupied by the Badao camp not far away. Wenli Academy is located in the middle of the street, and when he passed by, Chen Fan pointed out for a while. An Xifu Zhilu said that he had been paying some attention to some of the things that the children in the academy were doing recently. ..., as An Xifu, since taking over Chen Fan's position, he has been busy, and he came here today to communicate with Liu Tiannan, the manager of the Badao Battalion, about some things.

Hangzhou is now a city occupied by the rebel army, and the peasants have risen, which is good to say for the sake of heaven, but in fact it is nothing more than burning, killing and looting. The army, accustomed to everything being held with its fists, is like a fire, and it is impossible for them to live in peace and obey the rules. Hangzhou is rich, like accumulating old carbon, if the unruly days continue, it will burn clean for half a month, even if Fang La speaks, it can't be pulled.

Chen Fan used his fists to speak at the beginning, the purpose was to let some people who were really too much converge, so that more people could have a way to live, but it was only a way to live. The same is true for An Xifu, but he does not have Chen Fan's background, even if there are countless people killed according to military law on the battle array, but behind this, others will not regard this taciturn young general as a thing, and the military law that people are afraid of is nothing more than the shadow of Fang Baisha behind An Xifu.

To be in charge of military law, he has to be cold and impartial, and he has not married too many people before An Xifu, Fang Baisha is kind to him, but he also understands in his heart that it is not a bargaining chip that can be taken out on the surface. His position in the army is actually very different from Chen Fan's, there are really people and generals with mountains, he basically can't move, but in just over ten days, he still branded the name An Xifu in the eyes of many people with a heart in another way.

Chen Fan's method of doing things is often to find a few people who are too much at a few key points, regardless of beating to death, killing a hundred people, so that everyone understands that he is a madman and understands his purpose. Although An Xifu has cut off countless heads on the battle array, he can't find someone to cut in Hangzhou City, in the past ten days, his method of making people remember is that whenever someone goes too far, he will immediately dispatch, and if the top can't move, he will catch the bottom.

Most of these people are involved in such unbearable incidents as blocking the luck of the water, killing people and seizing property, and fighting to kill people. An Xifu seems to be gentle when he is involved with people, but in fact, once he is caught by the Black Feather Guard, more than seventy percent of the people will have no way to live. If there is a backer, it is called a backer to protect, and it is possible to take people out earlier, and it is simply to release people with peace and blessing, and most of the people will die if they are a little later, and it is still the strict style of the military law team. This quiet young man will also respectfully apologize to the human, whoever comes to make trouble will apologize, but after all, no one dares to really draw a knife in front of the black feather guard who is in charge of military law, in the past half a month, the black feather guard has killed more than 100 people, and finally makes people realize that once it is committed in the hands of this young man, it is likely to be really "cherished".

They asked their acquaintances at the Mén entrance of the Badao Camp, and then they learned that Liu Tiannan was not here in the morning, and the two went to the academy for a walk. When passing by the medical hall next to him, Chen Fan said hello to the busy young man who was wearing a headscarf and dressed as a little fù person, and the young man was called Xiaochan, Chen Fan had been here a few times, and he also knew her.

"Ning Liheng's little wife." He introduced it to An Xifu like this.

"It's his maid." An Xifu nodded, "I know." ”

"Well, you're the one who caught them...... Fortunately, she didn't know what to do. Chen Fan whispered, and then raised his voice towards Xiaochan and asked, "Later, Aunt Yu will bring the millet over, the ...... at your house Does anyone use a ring? ”

Shao NV was serving yào inside, turned his face sideways and stroked his hair and sideburns, nodded and said, "Someone uses it, when I first came out, they were all chatting inside." ”

"Oh, what about me...... I'll go and get a seat later. ”

Most of the people in the Liu family's medical hall are wounded, and they are basically soldiers. After Chen Fan finished speaking, a man next to him who was injured leaned over and patted his hand: "Hey, brother, who is that little girl's mother-in-law, it looks really ......"..., Chen Fan pointed to his companion next to him: "His name is An Xifu." ”

"I'm asking ......" The man seemed to want to emphasize his question, but halfway through speaking, he seemed to realize the meaning of the name An Xifu, and changed his face slightly, Chen Fan had already turned around and was about to leave: "That chick is not something you can think about, and if you ask again, you will be killed." ”

After leaving the medical hall, An Xifu looked back, and Chen Fan said as he walked: "Grandpa Liu has no children and no NV, and Tǐng takes care of her." Ning Liheng also often came over and said something about how to treat injuries...... If it's funny, the old man doesn't treat him very well. Hehe. ”

An Xifu said: "I admire Ning Liheng a lot, I wanted to come over to visit a few more times, but unfortunately I have been a little busy recently...... It seems that you come often. ”

"That man...... Very interesting. Chen Fan frowned, then nodded, "He's gone...... Two things used to grind rice, one is called a hammer and the other is called a windmill. At first, everyone guessed that it was a wooden cow and a flowing horse...... Others are a little strange, but they are worthy of being married. ”

Chen Fan thought about it, nodded again, and whispered, "It's also terrifying." ”

"I've heard that." An Xifu nodded, "It's really rice milling?" ”

"It's true, the bread you ate before was made of milled wheat flour. You also know that it is difficult to peel wheat, and that kind of wheat flour is extremely expensive on the market, and he can peel and clean the two things casually......"

The two of them said, they had entered the academy, the sound of reading came from afar in the shadows of the trees in the academy, the two passed through several courtyards, and walked towards the back of the academy, in a room on the side, there were several men who belonged to the Badao battalion but they were already sitting here, the two things in the center of the room were running under the cào of the people, and the rest of the people were talking with melon seeds, quite a leisurely life. There were often conflicts between Chen Fan and Liu Dabiao, but he knew many people in the Badao Battalion, and when An Xifu came in, he greeted everyone.

In fact, there is not much estrangement between the men and men in the farm, although the Badao Camp was a knife-based mountain village before the incident, but most of the lives in it are still no different from the countryside. Among them, the fù people may be a little reserved before they get married, and the nv people who have really married and given birth to children often make men blush when they talk about meat, and there is no difference between men and women, at this time a group of people chatter about trivial matters.

One of the two things in the middle of the house is like a mill, similar to the stone mill structure, but it is a bamboo and wood structure, and the other is a windmill like a wooden ox, with a large belly and a hand-cranked fan in the middle. The two things are a ring, a windmill, the ringer peels the millet or wheat, and the windmill can remove impurities such as the husk or wheat husk in the rice grains, both of which Ning Yi and several students have come out of in the past month.

In fact, it is not easy to peel rice or wheat in the market at this time. It's not impossible, but it's extremely cumbersome. The south eats rice, and the north feeds on wheat, and most people eat wheat and "wheat rice" cooked without completely peeling it, which is very fragrant, but it is extremely unpalatable, and you have to pull half of it when you eat a bowl. Of course, it is said that the process is cumbersome, but it is not impossible, but the price is relatively high, Ning Yi was in Jiangning, and the Su family naturally ate jīng rice, but there was still a certain amount of wheat husk in the flour used by Yunzhu to pancakes. Ning Yi had been planning these two things early in the morning, and he was not in a hurry in the Su family before, but during this time, he had this leisure and took the things out.

Ning Yi had previously made Liu Dabiao and the others disgraced with fire, and he asked for nòng things, although others did not stop him, but naturally he was a little concerned. When I first knew the structure of the windmill on the road, everyone thought it was an artifact such as a wooden ox and a flowing horse, and Liu Dabiao asked someone, and Chen Fan was quite curious when he heard it. He was very concerned about Ning Yi before, but there was not much contact between the two sides, and then one day he passed by, he was curious, and came to see, he was a frank person, Ning Yi was adjusting the two things, so he asked directly, Ning Yi explained the idea, Chen Fan was dumbfounded when he heard it, he originally thought that the other party was extremely strategic, and he was a hero-like character when he put it outside, where would he make this kind of nonsense, but then chatted and chatted, but he also felt that the other party was interesting. …,

Everyone in the Badao camp originally had some respect for this Mr. Ning, he gave advice to the Badao camp and managed things, even if everyone knew the Tao, they only felt that this was a scholar, the mountains looked up, and they were high, but Xiaochan gave the impression of being approachable. But after the rings and windmills came out, someone tentatively asked if they could borrow them, and Ning Yi opened up the place.

After all, it is a new thing, and the ring is made of bamboo and wood, and it has broken a few times during the period, or needs to be adjusted, Ning Yi came over in person, and it took a lot of effort. He was gentle and witty, and the people came to regard him as a hermit, and although he was still in awe, he became familiar and familiar in the hearts of many.

Of course, what really made Chen Fan quite interested was not these things, but some things that had happened in the academy in the past half a month. These things are subtle and very interesting, at the beginning, that Ning Yi was just telling some stories in the academy and saying some truths similar to moral articles - this pattern has not changed from beginning to end, but I don't know what Lu Dao is for, those students who were originally born in mud tǐzi will be infected so quickly.

About ten days ago, some of the children in the academy who listened to Ning Yi's class did something. The reason was that one of the children heard about a tragic incident in which a soldier in the volunteer army offended his superiors, and his family was ruined, his wife was occupied and humiliated by the other party, and the family was almost dead, and he was also cut off by a hand. To be honest, after the city of Hangzhou was broken, all kinds of things that happened were not just outsiders bullying locals, most of the rebels were peasants, who had power in their hands, and it was common to look down on the people below, and similar things were not uncommon. The other party did it skillfully, and the matter did not cause too much bōlan, and the matter was supposed to pass like this, but at this time, it caught the eyes of these teenagers and children.

What happened then was simple, these children had a background in their families, and they actually started to investigate, during which they asked Ning Yi, and Ning Yi put forward one or two opinions. Soon after, they found two pieces of ironclad evidence, and the children gave the ironclad evidence to Hei Lingwei.

An Xifu must know the situation on the side of the Dao - from what he said before, he can know the Dao. With the evidence, An Xifu was not ambiguous, and arrested one of the eight hussars, the partial general under the Feishan general Retort Cheng, and when Retort Cheng arrived, the partial general had already been drained of blood through the opening of his neck - it was said to be a suicide. An Xifu desperately apologized, and Cheng Cheng lost his temper, but in the end he had to leave. For An Xifu, this was originally a thing that could not be done.

When the man with the severed hand came to the academy crying and shouting to bow down to this group of children, and when he saw the tǐng of those children and the shining eyes, Chen Fan knew that some things would be different in the future.

Some scholars have read moral articles all their lives, but they don't know what morality is all their lives. But there are some things that can determine a person's life just once.

These children are all from peasant families, and a few months ago, none of them knew how to read any moral articles, they were exposed to robbery and killing, they saw blood and panic, some had human lives on their hands, and some of them spoke in black words. Now they still don't read any moral articles, but after doing this, they even speak with a different spirit.

Chen Fan knew what this meant, when he was twelve years old, he worshiped Fang Qi Buddha as a teacher, when he was fourteen years old, he killed someone for the first time, and he was chivalrous and righteous, he saw an old man kowtowing in front of him, at that time he was at a loss, but he remembered that feeling. Later, he joined Manichaeism and shouted to others that the law was equal and inferior, but unfortunately the more and more battles were fought, and things became more and more helpless.

He didn't know what the children would be like, but things might have been a little different, and in a matter of days, the children had been paid for another soldier. And what sent the chill down his spine the most was the third thing that happened five days ago. At that time, these children were ready to make persistent efforts, they asked around where there were grievances that could help, and then listened to a pair of old parents, saying that a general named Han Wanqing killed his colleague and killed their son, but now no one cares. The children were ready to avenge the old parents, but at this time, another group of students in the academy who were originally more aimed at Ning Yi jumped out and stood on Han Wanqing's side and said that they had wronged the good people.

"I actually heard about Han Wanqing." An Xifu lowered his voice in the corner of the room, "He and that general surnamed Duan were originally good brothers. During the Battle of Huangshan, he wanted to save people, but he couldn't save them. The second elder of the Duan family didn't know what Lu Dao was doing, so he put the account on Han Wanqing's head, and this public case has always been very clear. ”

"I also know that the Tao is very clear." Chen Fan smiled, "But two groups of children,-for-tat, it's difficult to ride a tiger." Ning Liheng saw that they were arguing, so he came out and said, If we make a mistake here, I will pour tea with you and admit my mistake...... The most powerful thing is that he also knows it very well. ”

An Xifu frowned: "This matter, I haven't reported to my side for the past few days......"

"Of course, it won't be reported, everything is clearer in itself. I came over to tell Ning Liheng about this three days ago, and I knew what he said? He said I already knew the truth. The two sides looked for witnesses, laid out evidence, quarreled for an afternoon yesterday afternoon, and then sī ......" Chen Fan lowered his voice, "Ning Liheng poured tea with the child over there and admitted that he was wrong. ”

Then he said to the children, "You are wrong about this, but the most important thing is that you have not wronged anyone, and you must not lose your heart." The kids said, at least we're doing something, and the kids over there said, 'I'm doing a big thing.' Now these two groups of children have been divided into two factions, but the methods and principles of action are all taught by Ning Liheng, to talk about evidence, to be good people...... He has only been here for more than a month, and half of the people are still targeting him, but now these children are completely different. You go and see how they read, and they shake their heads, hey, who the wanted to read this before. Now they all want to be real heroes who help the world and save the people. ”

The two of them were talking about these things in the academy here, and outside the room, Xiaochan's figure walked over, and there seemed to be someone in the courtyard where Ning Yi lived, and someone came in with a suitcase. Everyone knocked on it, and the leader was indeed a beautiful and square nv. The three aunts and six women in the room whispered, but they said things like "Mr. Ning's confidante", "I've been here once", "I heard that the family is very rich". An Xifu frowned: "This person is Lou Shuwan." ”

"I know it." Chen Fan raised his eyebrows, "Her eldest brother has visited me a few times before, but if he can't visit, he will go to Bao Daoyi." ”

An Xifu nodded: "I've met once, and I've seen this NV once from afar, and I heard that the reputation is not very good." ”

"The NV in a big place is different from the one in our small place."

An Xifu looked at the temperament of the nv: "It may be like this......"

No matter what the identity of the person who spoke, gossip is gossip after all, the sound of rice milling and chatting sounded in the room, and soon after, there was a noise in the academy outside, and Ning Yi, who had finished class, also came over. In the autumn breeze, Lou Shuwan, who came to visit, was bright and natural, as a maid from a big family, Xiaochan, who is now a concubine and NV master, also greeted each other generously. Yellow leaves falling in the wind, all of these may be a rare symbol of leisure, whether it is the sound of rice grinding, chatter, Ning Yi's confidante or the two groups of students in the academy, all of them just symbolize a rare peace. But whether it is Chen Fan or An Xifu, or even Ning Yi, who is now only in contact with the internal affairs of the Badao Battalion, they can know from the data one by one that now that Hangzhou is the center, and within hundreds of miles around, such an atmosphere is not the mainstream.

The stalemate of the war, the people who are dying every day, the 150,000 troops led by Tong Guan from the north, the oppressive atmosphere that everyone inside and outside Hangzhou can know, and even the ongoing political struggle within the military department of the city Fangla, including the idea that many people want to kill Ning Yi, are just isolated by some beings within the small scope of the Badao Battalion, which makes people feel it for the time being, in exchange for a little leisure.

life, lecturing, "inventing" rice mills, inciting a group of children to engage in a-for-tat "good man" movement, and interacting with new "confidantes" a few times. It was also in this rhythm like autumn leaves falling that in early September, Li Tianyan returned to Hangzhou, and with it, a political change almost the entire Fangla military system followed. And because of Li Tianyou's hostility towards Ning Yi, it finally meant that a strong enemy who was enough to shake Liu Dabiao's barrier head-on appeared in front of him for the first time after Ning Yi returned to Hangzhou......

ps: As a rice mill, the hammer has basically disappeared at the end of the sixties of the last century, as for the windmill used to filter the husk and impurities, bananas and other young people born in the 80s may have seen it if they grew up in the countryside, and they should still be there in recent years, but there are not many of them.
