Chapter 31: Floating Like a Dream
If life is only as it first seems, there will be many differences.
For the strange woman in front of her, it was difficult for Mei Xiaohan to determine what kind of person she was.
"I didn't expect you to be a good person, and you are quite careful in doing things."
The girl said: "When the war starts, only the common people will suffer... I'm just doing my best! ”
"There are not many beautiful girls, and even fewer are beautiful and kind girls!"
For the so-called war, there are only cold numbers in the books, and there are not many detailed records.
History, like a dream... Walk through everyone's world, and float through everyone's dreams.
When history gradually emerges as it is, it is not just desolation and loneliness that is found.
Countless blood and passion have been drowned by lonely and dull years in countless days and nights, and in the rolling river, how many kind hearts have worked hard for their insignificant dreams.
In the eyes of others, living in the world of others, you will always be incomprehensible.
The so-called confidant is rare, and the wine is less than a thousand cups of confidant.
The most important thing for a person is not the understanding of others, nor the sympathy of others. It's about whether you can convince yourself, and completely convince yourself in your heart, the so-called peace of mind is never the approval or disapproval of others.
But... Born without believing in the so-called fate and the so-called fortune, peace of mind is one's own identification with oneself and understanding of oneself, not self-indulgence.
The world is so big, why care about other people's understanding...
The woman in front of her made Mei Xiaohan feel in a trance, although she had never met her, she was very close to her.
"Childe... Where are you from? ”
Mei Xiaohan said: "I don't dare to hide anything from the girl, I am a person who came here from the future!" ”
"Childe is really good at laughing! The future is coming..."
"You don't believe it?"
A girl from a big businessman shouldn't have shown her head like this, but this woman is a complete strange woman.
"Childe said yes, I believe you!"
The people regard food as their heaven, and the first duty of a person is to live, and those who want to live must have food to eat.
The influx of displaced people has directly pushed up the prices of Yangzhou City, which is logically a market law and is not unusual.
There are many people who want to make a fortune in the war, but there are not many people who can really seize such an opportunity.
Doing business in the midst of war is tantamount to licking blood at the edge of a knife, which is not something that ordinary people can do, although it is ill-gotten gains, but it is also obtained at the risk of life.
Displaced people are everywhere, and only a small fraction of them can be relieved, which is a drop in the bucket.
Before a new dynasty emerges, it is not unconscionable for society to have a major upheaval.
However, the world is so big and there are so many wars, and some problems cannot be solved by providing relief to the victims.
"That's right... Childe said you are from the future? Can you tell us where the future lies? ”
Mei Xiaohan didn't want to talk much, but she inadvertently said that she was from the future, which was tantamount to adding trouble to herself. The girl asked, but she didn't know how to answer.
The girl just thought that the future was a place name, which sounded very strange, so Mei Xiaohan asked again: "This place called the future that Childe said... It's a strange name! ”
"It's not like Yangzhou, it's just a small place... The girl hadn't heard of it, so it wasn't surprising! ”
"After all this time... I don't know what Childe's name is! ”
"In Xia Mei Xiaohan!"
"Mei Xiaohan?"
"I seem to have heard this name somewhere!"
Mei Xiaohan said: "There are people with the same name in this world, what's so strange!" ”
"That's right!"
As he spoke, a fast horse galloped quickly and went on a rampage. Samurai on horseback, dressed in armor, ran from one end of the street to the other.
"The Wau army is coming to the city... Yangzhou City is about to be breached! ”
The Wau Army is a wild tribe in the south, not a regular army, but in the past two years, the morale has been booming, and it is quite proud.
At this moment, a large army of 3,000 people was stationed thirty miles on the outskirts of Yangzhou, and it was possible to attack at any time.
After the first wave of attacks launched by the Wau-Wu army, the Yangzhou army was caught off guard. Most of the army originally stationed in Yangzhou was withdrawn, leaving only less than a thousand troops.
There was no certain quota for the garrison of the ancient city, but generally a large city would leave a part of the garrison, and a city like Yangzhou would naturally not be less.
At this moment, Yangzhou City is facing the dilemma of internal and external troubles.
"It seems that there is really going to be a war!"
"The common people are going to suffer again!"
A woman from an ordinary family, who opened and closed her mouth to talk about national affairs, did not feel the slightest fear of the grim situation she was facing, which made Mei Xiaohan really incomprehensible.
Mei Xiaohan hugged her fists and said to the girl: "I'm leaving, I don't know if the girl can tell her name!" ”
The girl smiled and said, "My name is Mengyao!" ”
"Well... Say goodbye to My Fair Girl! ”
Turning around, Mei Xiaohan left the "Tianfu Inn", walked out of this alley, and came to another alley.
The situation is chaotic, not to mention the skyrocketing prices, and it is difficult to buy even the most ordinary daily necessities.
Before the Wau-Wu army attacked, the city of Yangzhou was in chaos...
The gate of Yangzhou Mansion was closed at the moment, and some of the defenders were pinned down by the warlords and could not be mobilized.
Mei Xiaohan has no direction at the moment, and she doesn't know whether to advance or retreat, and she is hesitating. A column of unknown armed forces was marching here, and Mei Xiaohan collided with it.
The number of this team was not large, only about 300 people, and the clothing was not uniform, so it did not look like a regular army.
"Who's coming?"
"Why is it all of a sudden?"
The leader of the team, wearing a hanging knife at his waist, said, "Hurry up and leave, or I will cut you!" ”
"General!"
"The front is already under control, we can't march any further!"
"Fuck it!"
The man, who was called the general, scolded and said, "Drive out all the inhabitants of this five-mile radius!" Camp here! ”
"You... Get out of here! ”
A person who walked out of the army pointed his finger and pointed at Mei Xiaohan and said, "You doll, don't go quickly, this place has been requisitioned by our army!" ”
Mei Xiaohan has always eaten soft and is not afraid of hard, not to mention holding a pistol in her hand, so naturally she didn't take this noisy ragtag soldier in her eyes.
"You take your sunshine road, I cross my canoe, and you are too wide!"
"Good boy... It's quite arrogant! ”
The leading general was quite polite and said, "Little brother, the situation in Yangzhou City is not very clear now, I advise you not to be so impulsive!" ”
Mei Xiaohan said: "The road is on one side of the sky, you are bullying people today, you are not a hero!" ”
The general said: "You kid, it's really rushing, but I like it!" ”
"Don't talk nonsense with this kid, I'll chop him with a knife!"
The knife fell in his hand, and he heard a "bang!" Gunshots.
