(42) Change guns and visit at night
"Those two of yours are not as good as mine." Yang Shuoming smiled, turned the gun in his hand and held it well, then flicked it on the gun with his fingers, flattened the gun body, and suddenly aimed at the woods in the distance, and pulled the trigger.
The muzzle of the Mauser pistol instantly spat out a long tongue of fire, and with the crisp sound of gunfire, ten bullets were fired in succession, flying into the dark forest, followed by a series of screams in the forest.
Yang Shuoming's sudden firing action surprised Tang Jing, Tang Jiumei's reaction was the fastest, and she stepped forward in front of her father, grabbed the gun in her hand, and aimed at the woods, while several knights behind her immediately rushed into the woods.
"There are assassins! Protect the master! One of the leaders of Yunshi Village shouted, and the surrounding knights immediately raised their guns and protected Tang Jing.
At this time, Yang Shuoming had already quickly refilled the box cannon that had run out of bullets, but he did not seem as nervous as Tang Jiumei.
Just as he and Tang Jing walked near the woods, Yang Shuoming's "super computer eyes" that had been constantly observing the surroundings gave an alarm, showing that there were ten suspicious figures in the woods, and they were all carrying guns. Due to the urgency of time, Yang Shuoming didn't have time to warn Tang Jing and the others, so he took the opportunity to give Tang Jiumei a gun and fired before the other party could make a move.
With the prompting and help of the "Super Computer Eye" aiming and positioning system, the shuttle bullets shot by Yang Shuoming just now all hit the target, but he can't be sure now whether the other party has hit the vital point.
After all, in the state of continuous fire, even the most powerful sharpshooter with advanced sniper rifles in later generations wants to hit the gun, it is almost impossible to do it, let alone hit the vital point of the target.
Soon, the two knights who had rushed into the woods returned, and behind their horses, one of them was dragged by a rope like a dead dog, and as the two horses rushed through the rocks and grass in front of the woods, the two men who were dragging on the ground let out a cry of pain.
"There are ten people in total, and these two are still alive." A knight came to Tang Jing, and while reporting, he peeked at Yang Shuoming, "The rest have been beaten to the vital point, and they have already choked their breath." ”
"Have you asked where they're from?" Tang Jing looked at the two assassins who were dragging on the ground and asked quietly.
"I've asked, they are Yao Changkui and Liu Haozi's subordinates, and they are specially here to assassinate the big boss and Mr. Yang." The knight replied.
"Take them down, don't kill them, I'll ask them when I get back." Tang Jing ordered, "Pass the word, let the leaders of the cottages everywhere be in good spirits, and send more people tonight, but try not to alarm the villagers." ”
Several knights took the order. At this time, Tang Jiumei had already put away her two guns, she turned her head to look at Yang Shuoming, this time, her eyes were not hostile and vigilant, but full of admiration and gratitude.
Yang Shuoming made her look a little embarrassed, he laughed dryly, and handed the box cannon in his hand to her again.
"I changed this gun to be able to fire both single and burst, just turn the knob once." Yang Shuoming said, handing the gun in his hand forward again, "When shooting in bursts, the muzzle of the gun jumped hard, remember to shoot at the end of the gun." ”
Seeing Yang Shuoming's movements, Tang Jiumei changed her appearance and looked a little embarrassed.
"If it weren't for Mr. Yang's sharpshooter this time, we would have suffered a big loss." Tang Jing looked at Tang Jiumei, and said, "Ninth sister, go on." ”
Listening to Tang Jing's words, Tang Jiumei's face turned red, she rode forward slowly and came to Yang Shuoming's side, and took the repeating box cannon handed to her by Yang Shuoming with both hands.
"Thank you for your kindness, how about Mr. Yang lingering in my Tianyun Mountain?" Tang Jing said, "Mr. Yang's proposal that we go down the mountain to adapt, I, Tang Jing, will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation." ”
"It's fine." Yang Shuoming hesitated for a moment, nodded and agreed, "Then I might as well be respectful." ”
"This is my gun," Tang Jiumei pulled out a box cannon she had used from behind her and handed it to Yang Shuoming, "You take it first, you can't do without a gun." ”
Yang Shuoming looked at this Mauser box gun, which was also an original German product, and just hesitated, the little girl immediately widened her eyes.
"Take it!" She seemed to be a little angry, but not as loud as she used to.
Yang Shuoming involuntarily took the box cannon with bright red silk tied to the handle, Tang Jiumei watched him put his gun into the magazine, pursed her lips and smiled happily, and put the gun that Yang Shuoming gave her into her own magazine.
After the inspection was over, the group returned to Yunshi Village, where Tang Jing arranged a place for Yang Shuoming and the others to live, and went to interrogate the two injured assassins who had been caught.
Tang Jing arranged a delicate and elegant upper room for Yang Shuoming, and the furnishings in it were not much different from the new room that Huang Shiyao gave him, and what surprised Yang Shuoming was that there was a bookshelf full of all kinds of books in the room.
Yang Shuoming walked to the bookshelf and flipped through the books on it, these books are some novels in addition to classical poetry and Confucian classics and thread-bound books, among those novels, Yang Shuoming found a book called "New China", he couldn't help but be very strange, he opened the book and read it, and was immediately attracted by the content inside.
The author of this "New China" is named Lu Shimo, and "New China" should be regarded as one of his masterpieces. The reason why this novel amazed Yang Shuoming was because in the Internet era, he was used to reading novels with alternate history, but he didn't expect that after traveling to the past, he would be able to read works with similar themes written by his predecessors.
Written in the first person, the novel is a fantasy work based on dreams, and the content is bizarre and full of fantastical imagination. The book depicts China's development and social outlook 40 years after the implementation of constitutional government, and Yang Shuoming is surprised that many of the major events written in the book have become reality in the future, such as the book mentions that the "World Expo" (World Expo) was held in Pudong, Shanghai, in order to hold this grand event, the Chinese political axe specially built the Pudong Iron Bridge and the cross-river tunnel in Shanghai, and also built the subway (called the tram tunnel in the book)! Interestingly, the book also recounts that there were disputes of different opinions when discussing the construction plan for the construction of the tram tunnel. After many discussions and listening to a large number of opinions, most people thought that the construction of elevated railway trains in the city was too noisy, and the elevated iron columns would affect the city's appearance and people's lives, and finally decided to build an underground tram tunnel.
Yang Shuoming did not have any impression of Lu Shimo, he only knew that the story "Feng Wanzhen" included in the middle school textbook with the background of resisting the invasion of the British and French forces was written by him, and was received in the "Qing Barnyard Copy", and as a result, many people in later generations used this story as a historical material and cited it in many ways. What he didn't expect was that he still had such excellent imaginative works handed down.
In fact, the Chinese nation has not lacked imagination and creativity at any time!
The reason why China has lagged behind the West since entering modern times is more the result of the accidental convergence of various historical reasons.
The progress and development of history is always full of accidents!
It can also be said that it is an accident of history that he appeared in this era!
And will you substitute this era into the new China depicted in this book?
Just as Yang Shuoming was immersed in the infinite reverie brought to him by the new China depicted in Lu Shimo's book, the footsteps of two people came from the door.
"Mr. Yang hasn't slept yet?" The visitor saw the candlelight in the house and asked outside.
"No, I don't." Yang Shuoming turned around and opened the door, and what he saw was a tall middle-aged man who looked like a scribe wearing a plain gray robe and holding a white paper fan, about forty years old, and behind him, it was Tang Jiumei who was standing.
"It turned out to be Mr. Fu and Nine Girls." Yang Shuoming recognized this person as Tang Jing's military master Hongru, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, a little strange why he and Tang Jiumei visited him at night.
During the day, when Yang Shuoming and Tang Jing talked and patrolled the mountain, Fu Hongru was not present, and Yang Shuoming did not see him when he first met Tang Jing's father and daughter, but he later learned after investigation that Tianyun Mountain could have the current scale, and this Fu Junshi played a great role in it.
Yang Shuoming let the two into the house, moved chairs for the two of them, and invited them to sit at the boxwood square table. At this time, Yang Shuoming noticed that Tang Jiumei had changed into a beautiful and elegant silk dress and did not bring a gun. After Fu Hongru took a seat, she did not sit down, but stood behind Fu Hongru respectfully. At this time, she changed from the tricky and arrogant during the day, but had some beautiful demeanor.
"Mr. Yang is really a well-educated person, and he is still studying so late."
Fu Hongru couldn't help but smile when he saw Lu Shimo's "New China" by Yang Shuoming casually on the table, obviously he had also read this book.
"What does Mr. Yang think of this book?" Fu Hongru asked with a smile.
"It's very good, it's not enough to pass it on." Yang Shuoming nodded and said.
"Does Mr. Yang think that the new China depicted in the book 40 years after constitutionalism will really be like that in the future?" Fu Hongru asked again.
Yang Shuoming remembered the era in which he used to live, and couldn't help but feel a little gloomy in his heart.
"Possibly, after all, none of us can run to the back to see." Yang Shuoming didn't want to infect the two people in front of him with the dark emotions brought about by the afterlife experience hidden in his heart, so he smiled and replied.
