(23) Oath
Listening to this child's words, Yang Shuoming remembered some historical facts of the era he was in now, and couldn't help but feel sad.
In the early years of the 20th century, 90 percent of China's inhabitants were still engaged in agriculture, and China's rural economy was on the verge of collapse due to the aggravating national disaster, the rural economy was in tatters, and hundreds of millions of peasants were struggling with poverty. The whole of China was in turmoil, and riots against rice and rent were constantly occurring, which further intensified social contradictions. As a relatively economically affluent region, the situation in Jiangxi Province is good, but in Yuanzhou Prefecture, where Shuanglong Town belongs, there have also been anti-rent and anti-donation riots involving thousands of people, while in Hunan and Sichuan, near Jiangxi, the situation is much more serious. Many peasants were unable to make a living, and in desperation, they went up the mountains and fell into the grass and became bandits. It is not for nothing that banditry is so serious in the western Hunan region and the border areas between Hunan and Jiangxi.
Looking at the three children in front of him, Yang Shuoming's heart was dripping blood.
Why do I meet such children in the future and in this era?
When Yang Shuoming returned home, it was almost noon.
What Yang Shuoming didn't expect was that waiting for him at home was not only Huang Yunzhi, who was restless, but also her male and female classmates, all of whom were the children of the local squire who were rescued from the rocky mountain last time.
Seeing that Yang Shuoming came back safe and sound, ignoring the presence of friends and classmates, Huang Yunzhi threw herself into Yang Shuoming's arms.
It may be the first time to see the inseparable intimacy of the husband and wife, these young men and women are blushing one by one, the corners of the boys' mouths are smiling, and some of the girls have already laughed out loud, and their eyes flashed with envy.
Yang Shuoming looked at the young students around him with some embarrassment, his body froze there for a while, Huang Yunzhi realized his gaffe, and then let go of him.
"Sure enough, it's 'a husband and wife'! What a personal envy! The big-eyed, round-faced, short-haired, slightly chubby girl in a white embroidered dress said with a smile, Yang Shuoming knew that her name was Zhao Xia, and she was the pearl of the old lady Zhao in the town. is also a beautiful lady, but her surname is much more cheerful than Huang Yunzhi.
Hearing her words, Huang Yunzhi's face flushed slightly, she glared at her good friend as if she was angry, and made a gesture to pinch her, Zhao Xia immediately smiled and hid behind another girl.
"Why did you think you were invited here at this time today?" Yang Shuoming asked Huang Yunzhi with a smile.
"We're here to make a haunting hole!" Zhao Xia replied jokingly.
"What nonsense are you talking about! I heard gunshots here, and I was worried that Eun Gong was in danger, so I came to help Eun Gong. A boy said, lifted the placket, pulled out a pistol from the holster at his waist, and showed it to Yang Shuoming.
Yang Shuoming recognized him as Mrs. Long's precious son, Long Yonghua, he looked at this sincere young man, knowing that he sincerely wanted to help him, and he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart.
"With Engong's ability, I still need you to help?" Zhao Xia deliberately made fun of him, "We have seen your young master Long's marksmanship, alas, don't mention it......"
Long Yonghua's face turned red all of a sudden, he held the gun in his hand, and wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.
Yang Shuoming got up and took the somewhat old Browning M1900 pistol from Long Yonghua's hand, checked it, and said to him with a smile: "It doesn't matter, if you want to learn how to shoot well, I'll teach you." ”
"yes, yes! Teach us! We are here to beg you for this today," Dong Yetang, another student, said, "I won't tell you the truth, that day in the mountains, watching you shoot the bandits' heads one by one, I was envious to death." ”
"You know what? Among the bandits who set fire to the town, there were thirteen who died at the hands of Engong. A girl named Zhang Ying said, "Just now, the security team copied De Hongshun and arrested the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper's confession said that a total of twenty-one bandits from Saishiling had only been mixed in. ”
"Engong should have killed twelve," Zhao Xia looked at Huang Yunzhi, blinked, and said with a smile, "One of them was killed by Yunzhi, right?" ”
"Really? Yunzhi, you're amazing. Zhang Ying looked at Huang Yunzhi and exclaimed, "It's incredible, Yunzhi is afraid of even small insects." ”
"Yunzhi married Engong and became braver than before."
"Don't be biased, you must teach us to shoot."
Listening to the conversation of her good friend, Huang Yunzhi remembered that unforgettable scene, she turned her head and looked at Yang Shuoming, her eyes were full of warmth and happiness.
Yang Shuoming looked at the young smiling and vigorous faces around him, and somehow a bold idea appeared again in his heart.
"Don't worry, I'm sure I'll train you to be top-notch sharpshooters." Yang Shuoming said. Hearing his words, several young men and women cheered one after another.
"By the way, what are you all majoring in?" Yang Shuoming asked.
The students were babbling about their majors, such as Long Yonghua majoring in law, Dong Yetang majoring in finance, Zhao Xia and Zhang Ying majoring in painting and calligraphy, and to Yang Shuoming's surprise, his new wife Huang Yunzhi majored in the major.
Huang Yunzhi majored in medicine and nursing.
Yang Shuoming admires the fact that a girl like her, who lives in a remote township, is interested in developing China's medical and health industry. But judging from the sad look that Huang Yunzhi unconsciously showed when she answered, Yang Shuoming knew that there was probably some story in this, but he didn't ask any more.
People are already married to him, and there are some questions, you can wait until the evening or something......
Yang Shuoming asked about the academic situation of these young students, because he had a big plan that had been brewing in his heart since he came to this era, but it was not yet mature.
And these young students, including their new wives, will become an important part of this plan to change history!
At the thought of changing history, Yang Shuoming's heart seemed to have a flame burning.
That's right, to change history!
As an outlier in that materialistic society who has not lost his character and bottom line, and has not lost his reading spirit and personality, since he has come to this historical time and space, even if he is going to die, he must change the course of history and social development!
In order to make millions of Chinese no longer live in a society that turns black and white upside down!
Let the Chinese no longer struggle in a society that eliminates goodness and stifles elites!
Let the Chinese say goodbye forever to the society where they must sacrifice their surnames in order to survive and become prominent!
At this time, Huang Yunzhi seemed to be aware of the flame in her husband's eyes, and couldn't help but shudder.
As the attacking bandits were defeated again, the entire town of Ssangyong was jubilant, and the people spontaneously held a celebration, as if it was a festival. In the evening, in the courtyard of the Huang family, Huang Shiyao, who is the mayor of the town, held a celebration banquet for the security team, at the banquet, the squires kept praising the merits of Xu Yuanjin and Yang Shuoming, and frequently raised their glasses to toast to the two of them, but at this time, Yang Shuoming was not as elated as others, but always maintained a modest attitude.
"What do you think?" Xu Yuanjin noticed that Yang Shuoming seemed to be a little distracted, and couldn't help asking.
"What are you going to do with those prisoners?" Yang Shuoming asked softly.
"Of course, the guilty ones plus Dehongshun's internal annihilation will be publicly executed, and like He Heidonkey, the corpses will be hung at the entrance of the town to show the public." Xu Yuanjin was stunned for a moment and replied, "Those little children, they didn't make any big deals, just give them money for the two travel expenses to go home." ”
"Oh." Yang Shuoming nodded thoughtfully.
"This time, if Mr. Yang hadn't killed those bandits who had infiltrated the town in time, the consequences would have been really unimaginable." Boss Long got up and toasted Yang Shuoming, "Old man is here to toast Mr. Yang." The child's life was saved by Mr. Yang, and if Mr. Yang needs someone in the future, although he says it bluntly, he will not disobey it. ”
Listening to Boss Long's words, several other squires also raised their glasses and agreed.
"Thank you very much." Yang Shuoming smiled faintly and raised his glass to drink.
Huang Shiyao seemed to glance at Yang Shuoming casually, as if he understood something, he smiled slightly, twisted his beard, and did not speak.
After the dinner, Yang Shuoming returned home, and as soon as he entered the door, Yinfeng told him that Huang Yunzhi was secretly crying alone in the room.
"Did she do that a lot before?" Yang Shuoming thought for a while and asked.
"Yes, but not often." Yinfeng said, "There were only a few times when the old lady was jealous of her birthday. ”
"I see." Yang Shuoming nodded and didn't ask again.
came to her room, Huang Yunzhi really sat alone on the edge of the bed and cried, Yang Shuoming stood at the door and looked at her, his eyes swept through the room habitually, looking for items that might cause her sadness, but he looked at it for a long time, and let the "super computer eye" scan it for most of the day, and he didn't find anything suspicious.
Yang Shuoming stopped the scanning work of the supercomputer eye with some frustration, looked at his new wife, and didn't understand why she was sad. At this time, she had already sensed his arrival, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and raised her head.
"Why don't you come in?" She whispered.
"What are you thinking about there again?" Yang Shuoming came to sit down beside her, and his hand naturally rested on her slightly twitching shoulder.
"Do you remember the dragon and phoenix candles lit in this room on the night we got married?" Huang Yunzhi did not answer his question, but asked rhetorically.
"Remember, what's wrong?" Yang Shuoming turned his head to look, but he didn't see where there was a dragon and phoenix candle.
