Chapter 1: Crossing the Southern Song Dynasty
It is said that there is a mountain range in the Central Plains, the mountains are reckless, the scenery is beautiful, stretching for more than 800 miles, north of Henan, east of Anhui, west of Hubei, is really the henchman of the Central Plains, is for Dabie Mountain.
Dabie Mountain is not a famous mountain and river, for a long time, it has been unknown, but in recent decades, when it comes to Dabie Mountain, few people do not know, after all, in that magnificent revolutionary era, Liu Deng's army "leaped thousands of miles into Dabie Mountain", which played a vital role in the liberation of the whole of China, and Dabie Mountain also left an indelible mark in the long river of history.
In fact, before Liu Deng's army jumped into Dabie Mountain, Dabie Mountain was a very important red revolutionary base in the Central Plains, because this mountain range is located at the junction of three provinces, the mountains are high and dense, the transportation is inconvenient, but it is very beneficial to the development of the revolution, so Dabie Mountain has also become a revolutionary base area in New China.
In the 70 or 80 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, all aspects of society have developed rapidly, and due to the inconvenient transportation and backward economic development of the old revolutionary base areas, the state has vigorously supported the development of the characteristic economy, re-embarked on the Long March road, and organized red tourism. After a lot of publicity, many people fell in love with the old revolutionary base area, went to dig up revolutionary stories, and explored the red traces, and Yang Congyi was just one of them.
Yang Congyi likes to go to places that are inaccessible, where there are few people and more natural beauty, every time he goes out to take some beautiful scenery photos, he can cause an amazement in the circle of friends.
As an ordinary college student, the usual studies are not heavy, the May Day holiday is here again, according to the plan, it is natural to go out to the old revolutionary area, looking for red relics, the holiday is not long, he decided to go to Huangmei, only three or four hours from Wuhan to drive, play for two days, and go back home.
After calling home, I set off alone to travel to Huangmei County at the southern foot of Dabie Mountain.
Huangmei County, a barren mountain that is not too high.
After walking for a long time on the mountain road, under a bamboo forest, a cool breath came to his face, and he was suddenly refreshed, Yang Congyi sat down, took out a kettle from his backpack and drank a few sips.
When I looked up, there was a hill in front of me, which was not high, but it looked very steep, and according to the villagers, there were hundreds of people stationed there during the revolutionary years.
Yang Congyi wants to go and see, it is estimated that he can climb up in half an hour, go up and come down again, one hour is enough.
He took out the atlas and looked carefully, the road from here to the bottom of the mountain should be more than ten miles, under normal circumstances, two hours is enough to go down the mountain, now it is more than a little, and it is no problem to go up the mountain.
After resting for a while, I continued to set off, got up and put the atlas in my jacket pocket.
The mountain road was difficult, walking and walking, the sky suddenly began to darken, Yang Congyi was in a hurry, so he accelerated the speed of climbing the mountain.
Finally climbed a ridge, and before he had time to rest, he quickly descended the mountain along the mountain path, the road was a little steep, and Yang Congyi was very careful.
"Kiss your face with a hint of breeze, bend a crescent moon to sleep with you, be a meteor and fall into your heart, send a love song to love you .....forever" The girlfriend's call rang suddenly, Yang Congyi quickly stopped, took out his mobile phone to answer.
"Hey, I'm hiking."
"Let's break up. I've thought about it for a long time, but it's still not appropriate for us to be together......" The voice of his girlfriend on the other end of the phone came, and Yang Congyi was immediately stunned on the spot.
Suddenly, several bright lights tore through the dark and dreary sky, followed by a deafening sound of thunder.
He was dizzy, his eyes were black, and he fell headlong and rolled down the cliff.
The phone fell to the ground, and a voice came: "You speak, and if you don't speak, you will agree." Hear no ......"
After May Day, Yang Congyi did not go home, and his parents could not be contacted, so they reported the case.
The investigators located the barren mountain where he fell through the mobile phone.
After searching under the cliff for a long time, there was nothing, only his backpack was found in the trees.
The Public Security Bureau could not find any clues about Yang Congyi, so they could only list him as a missing person.
Yang Congyi disappeared and never reappeared again.
********************************************
The forests in the mountains are bleak, and the mountains are undulating from afar.
Halfway up the mountain, in a slightly gentle forest, there were two people practicing martial arts.
"Uncle, teach me this Soul Breaker Gun." A young man in a coarse linen coat sat on the ground after practicing boxing, looking at the middle-aged man who was dancing a gun and said with a smile.
This young man is neither fat nor thin, his face is full of spring breeze, his face is ruddy, his eyebrows are thick, his nose is big, his eyes are bright, he is the missing Yang Congyi.
"What a soulbreaker gun, don't talk nonsense!" The middle-aged man's face was cold, and he finished a set of marksmanship and was ready to take a break.
"Your marksmanship is so fierce, isn't it a soul-breaking gun?" Yang Congyi smiled.
"This is just a very ordinary marksmanship, marksmanship is not fatal, it is still called marksmanship, it is better to call it a burning stick." The middle-aged man exhaled slowly.
"Anyway, I think this marksmanship is very good, can you teach me?" In the deep mountains and old forests, how can you do without something to defend yourself.
The middle-aged man thought for a while: "Okay, it's good if it can spread." I'll teach you today. ”
After several months of training, Yang Congyi already has some martial arts foundation, and it is not particularly difficult to learn this set of marksmanship.
It took nearly an hour to learn the whole set of marksmanship. However, he still can't clearly remember the whole set of marksmanship, and it seems that he can only rely on sweat to make up for the lack of talent.
On the way down the mountain, Yang Congyi looked at himself in ancient costume, and his heart was faintly sad.
Even though I've been here for months, I wake up in the middle of the night and wonder if it's just a dream. When he slapped himself and felt pain, he knew that he would never go back, and there was always a trace of fear in his heart at this time.
Heaven let him come here after falling off the cliff, and as for how to let him leave, Heaven did not make corresponding arrangements.
When he was rescued by his hunting uncle, he knew that it was now the Song Dynasty, and more than ten years after the Jingkang Rebellion, there was no doubt that he came to the Song Dynasty or the Southern Song Dynasty.
For his origin, under the repeated questioning of his uncle, he made up a lie, saying that he was from Eastern Rome, a descendant of the Tang Dynasty merchants, and that his ancestors failed to return to their hometown due to war in the early years, and that in his generation, at the request of his father, he spent three years all the way east, and when he arrived in Western Liao, he learned that the prosperous Tang Dynasty had long ceased to exist, and now it was the Song Dynasty.
And this hunting uncle was a reclusive man, and according to him, because his life outside was not going well, he simply came to the mountains.
After a few days of getting along, the uncle felt that the young man picked up in the ravine was very knowledgeable, not ordinary, and it could last three years without martial arts, and it was not easy to reach the territory of the Song Dynasty in the countries of the Western Regions.
After learning that Yang Congyi was unwilling to return to Eastern Rome, his uncle persuaded him to stay. In a strange world, where he had nowhere to go, he agreed.
Since then, the uncle has been training him, taking him up the mountain every morning, climbing, boxing, shooting, and archery, rain or shine.
A year has passed, and spring is coming again.
On this day, after practicing, the uncle said: "Cong Yi, you are still young, you shouldn't stay in the mountains for a lifetime like me, the martial arts you learn are enough to protect yourself, you can go down the mountain for a walk, the scenery of the Great Song Dynasty is not bad." ”
Yang Congyi smiled: "What are you doing down the mountain, isn't there enough prey on the mountain for the two of us to eat?" ”
The uncle smiled: "There are many prey, you can fight as much as you want." ”
After a pause, he said, "Actually, I want you to go to Lin'an to help me find someone and find out about him." ”
Yang Congyi smiled when he heard Lin'an, it was Hangzhou, Hangzhou's beautiful scenery is unparalleled in the world, the West Lake embankment, the Qiantang tide, the world is famous.
"It's a little far from here to Lin'an, there are no cars and horses, and I can't come back for a year and a half, and I don't know when I come back." Uncle, can you wait? "It's nice to be able to go out and have a look.
"There's nothing I can't wait, I don't want to go out of the mountain, just wait when I wait, forget it if I can't wait." The uncle raised his eyes to look at the distant mountains, and there seemed to be indifference in his eyes, but there was also nostalgia.
"Okay, I'll go to investigate for you, and by the way, I'll go to see the beautiful scenery of Lin'an." Yang Congyi smiled.
"I won't say the specific name of that person, I don't want to mention it. You go to Lin'an, ask the most powerful and famous one, if you die, report to me in time, if you don't die, then don't worry. "Uncle is in a gloomy mood.
Yang Congyi said with a smile: "Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely find out the news for you, and I will come back to you when the time comes." ”
The uncle said, "It's good if you can remember it." After speaking, he got up, raised his gun and said, "Let's practice again." ”
A few days later, Yang Congyi said goodbye to his uncle and went down the mountain, and before leaving, his uncle gave him some copper coins, although it was not much, it was also entangled.
When he came to the Song Dynasty, he only took the atlas with him, which he kept hidden, and he didn't dare to let his uncle see it. Of course, I won't take it with me this time, otherwise I will be asking for trouble. He had already found a dry cave while he was hunting, and kept the atlas in a safe place.
Since then, I left, this place is Huangmei County, Qizhou, Dabie Mountain.
