After a pleasant night on the kang at Odori, it was time for breakfast after washing up. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The government was responsible for arranging the transportation of the exiles, but did not pay for the prisoners' meals. In order to save money, the poor revolutionaries had to drink some rice porridge and nibble on cold and hard pancakes.

But Jin Tong will not wronged his sister and himself, how can he stand it if he doesn't eat well when he travels outdoors in cold weather?

When the two of them drank millet mung bean and jujube porridge and ate bacon flatbread, the others could only star, trying their best to hide their saliva.

Jin Tong swallowed the last bite of the burrito, picked up the porridge bowl, and sighed: "The flatbread is soft on the outside and crispy on the inside, and the bacon is fat but not greasy, it is really delicious in the world!" ”

Jin Jing tugged at his sleeve and reminded him to look at others.

As soon as Jin Tong looked up, he saw twenty-three pairs of angry eyes.

"Hey, I didn't expect everyone to be so envious, jealous and hateful. I feel your emotions - boss, serve the sauerkraut, and give everyone a mouthful. ”

And their eyes were green.

Jin Jing tugged at his sleeve again.

"Okay, okay - boss, give each of them a boiled egg!"

A pot of boiled eggs was brought to the table, and the anger in everyone's eyes was not extinguished.

"I've served you! Boss, two plates of bacon flatbread! ”

Jin Jing pulled harder this time, and Jin Tong almost spilled the porridge.

"What do you mean, girl? On three sets? We're sitting on a mountain of empty food now, and we have to save some money if we have money. ”

Jin Jing raised her hand weakly and stretched out a finger, "One plate, it's enough." ”

"Ahahahaha, you said it earlier," Jin Tong touched his head awkwardly.

"Boss, two plates of bacon flatbread!" Wu Rui hurriedly shouted, he turned his head to Jin Tong and said, "Brother Ye Fengxian is righteous and squandering money, thank you!" ”

"Thank you!" A group of people changed their faces very quickly, and they all gave fake and flattering smiles.

Jin Tong looked at his sister helplessly, "Look, he shouted both plates." ”

Jing Jing rolled his eyes, calculated his heart, and said to everyone: "My brother bought me a sack of books yesterday, you have to carry it for me!" ”

"Xiao Jing," Lu Tianxi said proudly, "Your brother said last night, these books are our public library, of course, everyone has to contribute!" ”

"Ah, how so?" Jin Jing was a little disappointed, and then stepped on Jin Tong's instep hard, "Brother, you are a loser!" I'm angry! I'm so angry! I've decided to ignore you for an hour! ”

The crowd burst into laughter. A girl pulled Jin Jing into her arms and rubbed her flushed face, "Xiaojing, you are so cute!" ”

Eight other girls also hugged him. Jin Jing was ravaged and yelled at her brother for help.

Jin Tong didn't move, "You have to promise not to get angry, I will save you!" ”

Jin Jing refused to give in, "I don't promise, I want to be angry!" ”

At this moment, the boss came over with two plates, "Here comes the bacon flatbread!" ”

The girls immediately let go of Jin Jing and ran to the food.

Jin Jing was liberated and glared at her brother fiercely, "Ignore you!" Three hours! Four hours! Eight hours! ”

"Good. It's decided. Eight hours! Jin Tong deliberately teased her.

"Don't talk to me!" Jin Jing turned his back and ignored him.

After breakfast, the bailiff informed them that the motorized convoy was ready and would leave fifteen minutes later.

A group of people panicked back to their rooms to pack their bags. Jin Jing took the initiative to hold her brother's hand, and said with a serious expression: "Don't run around, what if I get lost?" ”

Jin Tong patted her head, "A good boy won't get lost." ”

Jin Jing turned his head and snorted, then turned his head back, "I'll clean up with you." ”

Although the carriage had a roof and four walls, it could not protect against the cold and keep warm, and everyone put on cotton jackets and leather coats.

Each trailer is pulled by three horses, the tall horses are fat and strong, majestic, the load capacity is considerable, and the two trailers can be loaded with everyone. However, for safety, 25 exiles and 8 bailiffs, a total of 33 people, were in three cars.

The three owners of the car were all wearing leather jackets, pedals and mink hats. They watched the exiles frantically carry their luggage and get into the car in a hurry at the urging of the bailiffs, and they were a little impatient.

The Jin siblings will never be separated. Wu Rui, who was in the same car, and a girl named Li Xiaoyan sat together, and as soon as the two got in the car, they leaned close together, obviously having a personal relationship.

After the loading was completed, the captain of the first car shouted "go", and the driver shook the whip and exploded in the air, the car started slowly, and the horse trotted up.

The carriage was not slow, but it was still overtaken by several large trucks on the road, which was the convoy of the Xingliao Products Company.

The official road went east along the Xunhe River, passed through the two reclamation townships of Zengjiabao and Yuantun, crossed the ice of the Woniu River, and entered Xunhe Town, the seat of government of Xunhe County, before eleven o'clock.

Xunhe is a purely agricultural county with underdeveloped commerce. Xunhe Town was originally a hunting ground for the deer hunters (Oroqen), and later the Imperial Army set up a military horse farm here to establish its initial rule, and only set up a reclamation bureau ten years ago, and it was only upgraded to a county last year.

The convoy rests in the town at noon, and everyone needs to eat. Reminded by the bailiffs, most of the exiles bought supplies such as oil lamps, rice noodles, chopsticks, mosquito nets, and bedding in the town, and they exchanged every penny on their bodies for the necessities of future survival.

Of course, except for the little rich woman Jin Jing. Jin Tong only spent less than fifty yuan on her to buy all the daily necessities.

This resting place will be their last impression of the civilized world. They are going to turn south and enter even more ancient times.

There will be no buildings, banks, post offices, telegraphs, electric lights, bathtubs, flush toilets, and all traces of modern industry will disappear without a trace.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Bailiff Li beckoned everyone to get into the car. The convoy chose a gentle embankment by the river, carefully descended the slope, and slowly drove over the ice of the Sunhe River.

After crossing the river, we still follow the Xun River, and after ten minutes we encounter the Rapids. The Rapids River originates in the Xiaoxing'an Mountains and flows into the Xun River from south to north.

The convoy went against the tide along the rapids!

On the bank of the river there is a dirt road opened by deer hunters, which is often rough and slippery in summer. But now it's winter, and the road is covered with a solid layer of snow and ice, and the road is smooth.

The convoy drove through the newly established reclamation site in Xunhe County, Dagang Township. Jin Jing curiously opened the curtain of the car, but was attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of her.

But see the mountains on both sides of the river undulating, cliffs, strange peaks and strange rocks everywhere, primeval forests covering the sky and the sun, and the meandering and frozen rapids are like a white dragon hidden in it.

Jin Tong saw that there was hoarfrost on her eyebrows and refused to put down the curtain, and forced her head back, "Don't look at it, there will be opportunities in the future, make sure you get tired of it." ”

Before dark, the convoy arrived at the stronghold of the deer beaters, the new deer.

The government encouraged nomadic people to settle down, but it looked down on the deer hunters, who had a population of less than 20,000, and refused to allocate funds to help them build houses. Emperor Taizu once stumbled upon this incident and allocated 20,000 yuan of royal funds to build four trade points, and Xinlu was one of them.

The so-called trade points are nothing more than wood-carved flutes and horse rings, which are convenient for caravans to stop. After the trade point was built, the deer hunters gradually became accustomed to exchanging meat, furs, and herbs for food, salt, iron, and guns for the Han people.

With the normalization of trade, more than 100 hunters in Xinlu settled down the mountain, learned to farm and collect grain, and formed a village.

The convoy stopped, and everyone got out of the car one after another, stomping their feet to regain sensation in their frozen legs.

There is a watchtower outside the village, and when you see people coming, you will blow a birch bark whistle.

"Hula", dozens of dogs rushed out of the stockade, lined up to welcome the general blocking the way, and barked wildly.

Captain Fang was a little flustered. He barely calmed down, walked up to the horse and shouted, "We are from the imperial capital!" Is Ashku there? ”

The sturdy man on the watchtower descended the ladder neatly and drank the dogs back.

He greeted him and said warmly: "It's Captain Fang, I'm Ashku." Heck, I've been waiting for you for days! ”

Captain Fang was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that this deer fighter wearing a roe deer head hat and a roe deer skin robe was actually an authentic Shanxi accent.

Ashku laughed heartily, "I learned Chinese from a Shanxi veteran, and he also helped me get a Chinese name!" ”

Only then did Captain Fang remember that the hunter in front of him was an Imperial veteran.

Nine years ago, the Sino-British war broke out in the South Seas, and Lao Maozi was restless and wanted to take the opportunity to regain lost territory. Many deer fighters responded to the emperor's call to join the army, serve the country, and dedicate their blood and lives on the border line.

Thanks to the heroic counterattack of the Imperial soldiers, the Russians did not dare to go to war and retreated. Ashku was one of the combat heroes of the year. Five years ago, he voluntarily retired and returned to his hometown to become a pavilion chief in charge of village security. And the prisoners escorted by Captain Fang were to be handed over to Ashku's care.

However, the bailiffs must send the prisoners to a real "place of custody" before leaving.

The two confirmed the paperwork and arranged for the exiles to temporarily live in the trading grounds. The coachmen took the opportunity to start trading, and it was not easy to come in winter, and they could not return empty-handed.

There is a long woodcarved flute room in the field, which is divided into more than a dozen small rooms, which is a dormitory specially prepared for merchants, and there are no other caravans coming these days, but it is just right.

Each small woodcarved flute has an earthen kang that can accommodate four people. The small room has an outhouse with a stove for burning the kang. For the deer hunters, such housing conditions are quite good.

There are only women and children and a few men left in the village, and there is no concept of "cat winter" among the deer hunters, and even for the villagers who have settled down the mountain, winter is the hunting season.

Ashku took a few patrol officers to arrange for the guests to stay, and prepared a bonfire dinner for Captain Fang and them. The prisoners were not allowed to attend the banquet, but the deer beaters brought them dinner as guests.

Because there were well-walled and there were enough rooms, the bailiffs were more lenient and allowed to pick their own rooms. The Jin brothers and sisters had a wooden carved flute to themselves, which made Jin Jing very happy.

Sitting on the fiery kang, eating the deer-beating man's unique roe deer jerky stew and filling with serum (the serum of wild beasts is poured into the casing with salt and wild leeks), the brother and sister are very comfortable.

After the meal, Jin Jing once again asked where the "guarded place" was.

Jin Tong thought for a while, "The verdict only says 'Jiaoxunhe County Xinlu Township is in charge', and the specific location needs to be agreed between Captain Fang and that Ashku." I heard Bailiff Li say that we should go to the nearby forced development group. ”

"What is forced exploitation?" Jin Jing asked.

"Forced development," Jin Tong deliberately understated, "it is to go to the poor mountains and rivers that others don't want to go to." ”

He said it easily, but his heart was heavy.

"Ten years of exile! How can this be boiled. ”

"Do you want to take your sister as a fugitive? The empire has well-organized police agencies, and it won't end well! ”

"Obviously having a hundred years of knowledge beyond the world, you want to spend your best youth in the ravine?"

"History has changed beyond recognition, what about understanding the general trend? It is useless to be a scholar, and the theme of the twentieth century is war and revolution! ”

"Maybe there will be no revolution in Daqi, after all, the constitution has been established. However, the election of the two houses has been reduced to an aristocratic game, and the tide of fighting for the PU's election is bound to come. ”

"World War I broke out a few years later, and it was possible to say it was too late. China has also grabbed a lot of land and markets, and international contradictions have become more acute. The current emperor is not as scheming as Taizu, and his actions are a little tricky, how will he deal with it......"

"Well, what do you want to do with this? The most important thing now is to live! ”

"How to take advantage of the general trend," Jin Tong looked down at his hands, and was silent for a long time, "On the first day this world woke up, didn't you already think about it?" ”

Words are the bearers of ideas, and thoughts are the most powerful force of human beings. No matter what time and space in the universe, the best way to realize self-worth is to spread ideas!

Even if he is exiled, even if he is in the wilderness, can't these hands pick up pen and paper and write shocking words?
