Chapter Fifty-Six: The White Lotus Sect Rebels (The title of the book will be Conquest of the Four Seas.)
To everyone's surprise, the little girl didn't say anything, she kissed Yang Lin's white face, and said with a little shyness and embarrassment: "Big brother is so good to Amin!" ”
Suddenly, the smiles of some people around appeared, looking at this harmonious scene. In this strange and inexplicable scene, Zhao Min's performance was like a clear spring, easing the tense confrontation.
Although there are many words, the events are very short, just a few tea times.
Yang Lin touched the place where Zhao Min had kissed with some surprise, some wet, some warm, and even more unique to the little girl's breath, and suddenly the sweetness on his face loomed. And the little girl was already embarrassed to cover her face and buried herself in Yang Lin's arms.
Zhao Min's playful actions have won the love of more people, especially Yang Xiao. came over and kept sticking to Zhao Min and asked for a kiss.
While touching Zhao Min's head, Yang Lin turned to the two old men and said, "We didn't bring many things, and we gave you a lot yesterday." There is no store in the front of the village, and there is no supplement. Therefore there is not much that can be given to you, otherwise we will not have anything to eat, and we will not be able to travel any longer. ”
"That's it, we can only help, let's let the women and children of you come over first, and after a while, we will raise the stove to wash rice and cook, and eat a full meal with us, and then we will go our separate ways, old man, do you think this is good?"
The two old men hesitated, but only for a moment. After all, Yang Lin's words and deeds are already benevolent and righteous, and he can't ask others to help without reservation, and contribute all his own things, regardless of his own food in the future, right?
After a short period of words of gratitude, the two old men went back. When the old man conveyed Yang Lin's meaning, there was a brief commotion in the group.
At that moment, there was joy, dissatisfaction, and grumbling in the crowd. Finally, for some reason, the crowd quieted down again, and gradually subsided, and with the help of several young men, the crowd obeyed the arrangement of the two old men.
Subsequently, Yang Lin's words quickly spread among the victims, and children, women, old and weak women and children gradually flocked to the center from all sides under the arrangement of the two old people, and Yang Lin and others waited for a resting place.
By the time no women or children came, Yang Lin's garrison was already overcrowded, full of ragged people, echoing the moans of hunger, and the noise of children, which made Yang Lin frown frequently, and he didn't like it.
The entourage has been busy for more than two hours, and I don't know how many pots of rice have been cooked. It was approaching noon, and they had not eaten breakfast yet, and they still did not stop their work, still cooking porridge and cooking.
The only thing that comforted the entourage was that the women who had eaten were not idle, and out of gratitude, they began to help with the cooking, so that they could rarely rest and have some food.
At this time, under Yang Lin's instructions, Zhao Min happily walked through the victims, distributing rice porridge, smiling and lingering. The personality has become much more cheerful, without the previous loneliness, and gradually came out of the shadow of losing relatives.
What is strange is that the victims of other ages around have not eaten for two or three meals, and they don't show any signs of being ready to move, just chewing green grass in their mouths, looking here from time to time, looking at Yang Lin and his party.
Yang Lin sat on the ground, among the old men who had just come to negotiate, and asked, "Old man, where are you from?" What happened to your hometown that made you willing to abandon your family and business, and leave your hometown like this? ”
One of the old men was very satisfied with the rice porridge in the bowl, and said with a sigh: "Hey~, most of us are from Hubei, and we have fled here." To be honest, we don't want to leave home until we have to~. ”
"What do you mean, old man? Haven't you heard of any natural disasters lately? Yang Lin asked.
At this time, another old man also finished drinking the rice porridge, swallowed it, and said slowly: "This little young master, do you know that there was a **** in our Hubei, and a rebel army named the White Lotus Sect appeared. ”
"This is nothing, many of the White Lotus Sect's sects are some peasants, and there are no family owners. We, the common people, don't have anything, so they don't do us much harm. However, after the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect, the local corrupt officials and corrupt officials also had a reason to exploit us and force us to sell our sons and daughters. The old man just now took over and said.
"Like us, the people who are on the streets, some of them are strong, some of them are strong, some of them are strong, or they go up the mountains to rob passers-by; Or join the White Lotus Sect, go against the imperial court, enter the state capital, and win a moment of abundance. ”
"Hey, bad old men like us can only wander around, begging for a living."
The two old men, you and I are still talking, mixed with a trace of information. There is lament that it is difficult to live in troubled times; There are all kinds of hometowns, many are well, and they are reluctant to give up; Or curse those corrupt officials and thieves, and leave them no way to live.
Yang Lin had already lost his mind, thinking about things in his heart, and he had hints from the two old men. At the same time, some things that he recalled last night appeared in Yang Lin's mind again. The White Lotus Sect began to rebel and revolt.
At the same time, Yang Lin also thought of a rebel army in Hunan, which came to the rebellion of the Miao people. These are only larger, forming a certain scale, and there are some other rebellious forces, scattered like stars in the night sky, all over the place.
In the late Qianlong period, social contradictions intensified, corrupt officials and corrupt officials were rampant, and the people were struggling to make a living. As a result, various sects or rebel armies have sprung up in various places, and they have entered the government, occupied the treasury, and rose up.
When Emperor Jiaqing took over the throne, the Qing Dynasty was already in decline, and its national strength was extremely weak. After the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect, it has been in a slump ever since, and Britain is even more eyeing and coveting the huge market of China.
Yang Lin was still thinking about it, and was woken up by a burst of calls, and his consciousness returned to reality.
"Little master, what do you want~?"
"Little master, wake up~!"
I saw two old men looking at Yang Lin and calling in turn.
Yang Lin's spirit was shocked, he completely sobered up, and said softly: "It's nothing, listening to you say this, I remembered something for a while." ”
"By the way~ two old men, do you know her life experience, do you know her?" Yang Lin pointed to Zhao Min, who was still serving food for the victims in the distance, and was very busy.
The two old men shook their heads and said in unison: "I don't know~!" ”
One of the old men explained: "Among our people, there are not only Hubei, but also some Guangxi. Even if you come from the same province, you don't necessarily know each other. ”
"Moreover, the reason why those people in Guangxi also left their hometowns was that they were afraid that the flames of war there would burn to them, so they fled to avoid the scourge of war."
Then the three of them stopped talking, and Yang Lin had another guess in his heart about where Zhao Min's hometown was, that is, Guangxi in the middle of Fujian and Hubei.
Yang Lin thought about it, looking at Zhao Min not far away, like a flower butterfly flying happily. Although the clothes are a little tattered, it does not affect her pure and sweet appearance.
is just getting along for a day and a night, and Yang Lin has already regarded Zhao Min as his sister. Although there is no blood relationship, the affection is more like brother and sister.
