Chapter 25: Screenwriter
Chen Wen was silent for a moment and then announced the end, in the crowd that ended, Chen Wen did not find the figure of the Taizhou man who must come every day, but he saw Li Ruixin again.
I'll go to him tomorrow afternoon, and I will hurry up and talk to Li Ruixin today, if I can talk about it, there will be one more rider.
"Brother Li, do you have time today?"
When Li Ruixin heard Chen Wen's voice, he immediately frowned and replied, "Mr. Chen is a scholar, why are you looking for a martial artist like me?" ”
Where did I offend him?
Chen Wen thought for a while and said with a smile: "Don't hide it from Brother Li, my family lives in Beizhili, and I heard that Brother Li is from Liaodong, so I want to get closer to him." ”
is also from the background of northerners, and in Siming Mountain, the boundary of Zhejiang, the environment surrounded by southerners will naturally be more cordial.
But hearing this, Li Ruixin suddenly became excited. "Mr. Chen, I have heard people talk about the battle of the Hunhe River you talked about, and I also know that some Liao troops do things not authentically. However, I hope you understand that not all Liao people are cowards, at least not my father, brother and me, nor is Yasukuni! ”
The Yasukuni Gong in Li Ruixin's mouth is not Yuan Zongdi, the former Shunjun general canonized by the Yongli Emperor, but the Yasukuni Gong Huang Degong, who was canonized by the Hongguang Emperor.
It was because of this that Chen Wen suddenly felt like he was lifting a stone to hit his own feet.
Seeing that the crowd that had come to listen to the ancient lecture had dispersed, Chen Wen's gaze was out of contact with Li Ruixin's angry gaze, and he turned to look up at the sky, as if he was remembering.
"I remember the first time I talked about the ancients here, I used to say that when I was young, I was stubborn and had no interest in reading, and this is not a humble statement, but a fact."
Li Ruixin, who was waiting for an answer, looked at Chen Wen inexplicably, he didn't understand what the person in front of him wanted to say.
"At that time, I only knew how to mess with my neighbors and partners every day, and I didn't want to improve. After the enlightenment, it became even worse, and once he even lit a fire to burn his beard while Mr. was napping. ”
Chen Wen didn't do the thing of burning Mr. Beard, because most of his teachers were women when he went to school, but there were things to play around all day long, especially after contacting the computer, and skipping school was also occasional.
"One day when I was eight years old, my father told me that if there was a guest in the house, he would stay for a while, and he asked me to be honest. As a young man, I didn't think much of it, and it wasn't until the day the guest entered the door that I learned that it was a close friend of my late father's family who lived in Koyang and his daughter, who was my maid of arms. ”
When he was in school, Chen Wen once liked a sister paper, but people were not interested in him. However, this does not prevent Chen Wen from making up stories for Li Ruixin as a person who has come over.
"She stood in front of me that day, within reach, but I couldn't say anything as if I was stupid. It was an empathetic girl, she knew a lot, and was able to quote scriptures, although most of them were not very esoteric allusions, but she could always attract the admiration of her elders. But even so, she never showed off in front of me, because she knew I didn't understand, and she didn't want to embarrass me. And in front of her, for the first time, I felt ashamed of myself. ”
Li Ruixin listened to all this quietly, without the slightest idea of turning around and leaving, although he still didn't understand why Chen Wen said this.
"The next year, her father brought her to my house again, and she was still standing in front of me, still within reach, and I still didn't know what to say, although I knew that she was destined to be my wife from the moment she was born, and that her father had brought her to my house only so that we could cultivate some affection, but I felt that I was not worthy of her."
"That year, after she left, I began to study hard, but I couldn't read anything about the imperial examination. Until one day, when Mr. Yue Wang's "Man Jianghong" was talked, I finally opened my mouth, I read and write, even if I don't take the imperial examination, I can read history books, so that she and I can also have a common language. ”
In the impression of modern people, ancient Chinese etiquette was strict, and the defense of men and women was extremely heavy. But reading all over the history books, love stories of men chasing women and women chasing men abound, giving endless imagination to the majority of screenwriters in later generations. But Chen Wen's story is a hodgepodge, because he has little experience in love.
"Another year, I was ten years old, and she was ten years old, and we sat in the little pavilion in the back garden and talked in the study until night was approaching. She told me that as a reader, there is something more glorious than the title of the gold list, which is to complete a history book. She told me that even if you get the top prize, you will be forgotten one day, but a history book with detailed history can be passed on to future generations. ”
Since then, this has become my dream, for which I study history books every day, and she comes to stay for a month every year. Every month, I meditated hard and wrote hard, she grinded with her own hands, and her red sleeves added fragrance. We know that such days will continue until the twelfth year of Chongzhen, because that year is the marriage period, and from then on we will be one flesh forever. ”
Everyone has a dream, even if it can't be realized, everyone has love, even if it's just a dream. Chen Wen saw in the literature, film and television works of later generations that once these two beautiful things are integrated, one plus one is bound to be greater than two.
"However, it was all a dream for me. In the eleventh year of Chongzhen, the Tatars broke through the pass, and the troops stationed in Gaoyang County fled when they heard the news, leaving behind a city of people. Soon, the Tartars surrounded the county seat of Gaoyang. At that time, the emperor Sun Gelao, who had the opportunity to escape to Baoding Mansion, was indignant at the cowardice of the officials and soldiers, and resolutely stayed to advance and retreat with the people. ”
"In that battle, there were not even half of the officers and soldiers in the city, there were only Sun Ge's descendants, family members, neighbors, friends and the people of Gaoyang County, and the one standing behind them was the seventy-six-year-old Sun Chengzong Sun Ge Lao."
The battle soon ended, the Tartars broke through the county seat of Gaoyang, Sun Ge Lao was captured and did not disgrace himself, and the men of the Jiayue family died in the city, and the women all committed suicide by throwing themselves into the well. My wife, however, is an exception. ”
Hearing this, Li Ruixin's heart couldn't help but panic, a beautiful story eventually became a tragedy, but he didn't want this story to become more tragic, because his family was also one of the tragedies caused by this troubled era.
"After the fall of Gaoyang, I spent a lot of money to hire someone to find out the news, and a month later, the person who inquired came to my house with a family member who escaped from the Yue family and ascended to heaven, pushing a coffin, and it was my wife."
With that, Chen Wen turned around with his clumsy acting skills, wiped his eyes, and then took a deep breath, as if to suppress the tears from continuing to flow, and then turned around again and looked up at the sky.
And there she lay there, dressed in the gown she was going to use for the wedding, as if she were asleep. And the gap in her chest was very obvious from the dagger, and I think it must have been caused by the dagger I gave her. It was only then that I finally learned that when the city was broken, she put on a dress in advance, sat in front of the dresser, and sent the dagger into her heart for the sake of protecting her name. ”
"The next day, I buried her in the name of my wife in the ancestral grave of the family, and after everyone was gone, I took out the history books we had written together and burned them in front of her grave, because without her, this dream would have no meaning."
Seeing that Li Ruixin had been infected by the sad emotions he had weaved, Chen Wen said to Li Ruixin:
"I've never told anyone this story, not even Wang Jingluo. Brother Li, whether you are cowardly or not is not by talking, but by doing. I have heard about your deeds, and I have heard about the deeds of your father and brother, and I know better that the Yasukuni Duke is loyal and unyielding. I'm sure none of you are like that. ”
Seeing that Li Ruixin's face had eased a little, Chen Wen suddenly asked loudly: "But you think this is enough, right?" ”
In the eyes full of shock, Chen Wen continued as if he was releasing anger: "I know that you have been looking for your mother, sister-in-law and sister for many years, and I also know that you often go down the mountain to attack and kill the Green Battalion soldiers, do you think that if you do this, you can be worthy of your father, brother and the spirit of the Yasukuni Duke in the sky?" ”
"Now Liu Liangzuo, the traitor who killed the Yasukuni Gong, is still alive, and the traitors Tian Xiong and Ma Degong, who betrayed the Hongguang Emperor, are also alive. Maybe you plan to follow Yu Rang's example of assassinating Zhao Xiangzi, and then find an opportunity to kill them when they can't remember that there is still someone like you in this world. But is that enough? ”
Seeing Li Ruixin's eyes widen, as if he had guessed what was on his mind. Chen Wen couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, did he really plan to do this? But the history books say that Liu Liangzuo and the others all died at the end of their lives, could it be that the person in front of him also died in the catastrophe more than a month later?
Putting aside these senseless thoughts, Chen Wen continued to ask sharply: "Why did Liu Liangzuo kill the Duke of Yasukuni?" Why did Tian Xiong and Ma Degong betray the Yasukuni Gong and betray the Son of Heaven? And why did your family leave their homeland and live in Guannai? Have you thought about it all these years?! ”
The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, just because he hasn't reached the sad place.
Looking at Li Ruixin's eyes full of anger that had gradually welled up with tears, Chen Wen suddenly felt that he was a little too much, but he knew very well that at this moment, he was ready to send an arrow and had to send it.
"Whether you think about it or not, but I think it clearly. In September of the tenth year of Chongzhen, the Tartars broke through the pass, and the Lie Emperor was promoted to supervise the Qinwang Army of the world with the governor Xuan, Da and Shanxi military affairs Lu Gongxiang. Governor Lu was a well-known soldier in the world, and he rarely lost in the face of Tartars or rogues, and this appointment can be said to be successful. ”
"Governor Lu fought against the Tartars in front of the Emperor Lie when he entered Beijing to face the saint, and finally Yang Sichang, the master of peace, could not tolerate it, so the traitor Yang Sichang colluded with Chen Xinjia, the squire of the military department, and Gao Qi, the eunuch of the prison army, to plot to frame Governor Lu. After Governor Lu sent troops, Gao Qiqian led the Guanning army to go alone, while Chen Xinjia did not give the officers and soldiers of the three towns in Shanxi received by Governor Lu food. Seeing this, the dog thief Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Datong Town, immediately fled. ”
Even so, Governor Lu still led the officers and soldiers of Xuanfu Town and Shanxi Town to pursue the Tartars. Governor Lu led the army to chase Julu, and finally caught up with the Tartars, and the Governor Lu sent Yang Tinglin, the head of the military department, to ask for help, and at this time, the commander of the Guanning army, Gao Qiqian, who was less than fifty miles away, plundered the people, and completely ignored Governor Lu's request for help. ”
"When Governor Lu pursued him to the Artemisia Bridge, he was finally surrounded by Tartars. and the battle, the general soldiers of Xuanfu and the two towns of Shanxi fled from the battle, and the governor of Lu died in battle. After the death of Governor Lu, the tens of thousands of Guan Ning troops were defeated without a fight. ”
"I once thought that if Yang Sichang didn't frame Governor Lu, if Chen Xinjia distributed food and salary, if Gao Qiqian led the Guanning army to accompany Governor Lu, if Xuanda Sanzhen didn't leave the battle and escape, if all this didn't happen, then Governor Lu would definitely be able to relieve the siege of Gaoyang County, and neither Sun Ge Lao nor the Yue family would die at the hands of the Tartars!"
"I know very well that it is these traitors who are not loyal and good, these dog officers and soldiers who are experts in robbing the people but can only flee in the face of the Tartars, it is these Tartars who kill a thousand knives, it is they who killed my wife, they are the ones who made me abandon my dreams, and it is they who disturb the world and make my father die depressed."
Hearing this, Li Ruixin's tears in his eyes could no longer be suppressed. He is not crying for what happened to Chen Wen, but for the uprooted hometown over the years, for the family who died and separated in this troubled world, and for the fact that he still can't take revenge to this day.
He squatted on the ground, holding his head and crying loudly, as if he was releasing the grief and resentment that had accumulated in his heart for all these years, and it looked extremely desolate in the dark night.
Looking at all this in front of him, Chen Wen knew that he was not far from success. In modern times, many people know that the best way to bring people closer to each other is to sympathize with each other, and he knows it.
At first, Chen Wen thought that his lack of archives and interpersonal relationships in this era was a great disadvantage, but after these days, he suddenly discovered that he was such a "black household" that was actually more convenient to make up his resume according to his needs.
After more than ten days of preaching, Chen Wen found that his eloquence was much stronger than before, even stronger than when he was doing sales. He even felt that if he had the current eloquence when he first went to Dalan Mountain, he would never be led by Wang Jiang so easily and said so many things that should not be said.
Chen Wen knows that for now, all he has is history and eloquence, history is a resource, and eloquence is the way and means, and giving better play to these strengths will be his greatest reliance before he leads an army alone.
"After burning the history books, I began to study the war books, because I wanted to put an end to this troubled world with my own hands, kill these dog thieves, and avenge my father and the woman I once loved so much. I believe that one day I will get what I want, and I am willing to sacrifice myself for this! ”
From the beginning of the ** war to the defeat of the world's number one power by the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea with a national situation waiting to be rebuilt, the Chinese have suffered too much humiliation and paid too much blood and tears in those years, and the culprit of all this is the Manchu Qing!
Chen Wen firmly believed that if it had not been for the massacres and ignorance of the Manchu Qing Dynasty year after year, with the world-renowned diligence and wisdom of the Chinese, China would never have been reduced to the point of being slaughtered by others in a few hundred years.
During his time in Siming Mountain, Chen Wen heard too much about the suffering of this era. He believed that there must be a reason why the taxi had brought him to this age, and that reason was that it would be for him to put an end to the suffering of the Hereafter.
This sense of mission lit a bonfire in Chen Wen's heart, which he had prepared for a long time, and he was convinced that he would be willing to do whatever it took to end the rule of the Manchus.
