Winter 1909. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Heilongjiang River, the northern foot of the Xiaoxing'an Mountains.

During the Qing Dynasty, it was a frontier land. However, Zheng Ze, the Taizu of this dynasty, took advantage of the Hongyang Rebellion to raise the army, expelled the Tartars, established the Great Qi Empire, and recovered the territory ceded by the Manchus to Tsarist Russia in one fell swoop, and Heilongjiang became an inland river.

Even in the mainland, after decades of immigration, the "Great Northern Wilderness" is still not densely populated, and a large number of wetlands have not been reclaimed. After all, the imperial court has expanded its territory in Central Asia, Northeast China, and the South Seas, and there are all kinds of fertile land, so why bother to compete with God and transform what swamps.

With the passage of time, the Chinese population has become more and more abundant, and it has gradually become more and more populous. The wilderness, which was abandoned like a shoe, has now ushered in batches of pioneers.

Among them were desperate peasants, and there were also criminals issued by the imperial court.

In the ward of Shengshan County Hospital, such a sinner is lying.

His real name is Jin Tong, the word leaf seal, and the allusion of "Tong Ye Feng Brother". The dynasty abandoned many traditions, such as taking characters, and the name and character of the doll could be registered on the household register as soon as it was born.

At this moment, the seventeen-year-old body was awakened by a completely different soul.

This lonely ghost comes from another world.

Whether it is taking away or merging, he devoured the memories of the original owner of the body, and even felt the emotion; The bits and pieces of life in the 21st century are also remembered clearly and reliably, but the only thing that has been forgotten is the original name.

"Jin Tong, Jin Tong...... From now on, I am Jin Tong. ”

So, he opened his eyes.

The first thing that caught my eye was a dirty little face, and the red eyes couldn't hide the anxiety and anticipation.

It was Jin Jing, his eleven-year-old sister, nicknamed "Jing Jing".

Jin Tong opened his mouth to speak, but only let out some meaningless screams.

"Uh-uh-cough-"

"Brother!" Quietly leaned on his chest and cried, his voice hoarse.

Jin Tong exercised his laryngeal muscles hard, and tried for a long time before saying the first words that came to this life.

"Water - Drink water."

Jing Jing hurriedly wiped her tears, got up and came back with a thermos bottle at the door, and poured a cup of hot water.

Jin Tong had regained some strength and tried to sit up. He exerted a little strength and was a little dizzy, and said weakly: "Help me, get up." ”

Jin Jing carefully served him to sit at the head of the bed, took two pillows as backs, and offered the enamel jar.

Jin Tong drank most of the hot water from the tank, and let out a long breath, feeling that there was nothing wrong with his body, and there was no problem with the control of his limbs.

He turned his head to look around.

It was a clean ward, cramped and shabby. The windows were closed, shielding them from the howling wind. Four beds were covered with white sheets, but he was the only patient.

Thinking about the cause of admission, Jin Tong can quite understand the isolation arrangements of the hospital.

He fainted after being hit on the back of the head with a stick.

Luck sucks!

His father, who was a patrol officer in Dijing, died in the line of duty six years ago, and his mother and two children opened an inn on the three-story building facing the street. Perhaps it was because of excessive worry and hard work, and my mother died of illness last year.

After the funeral, Jin Tong gave up his studies and took over the inn business. He considered himself a new young man, and immediately renovated it after taking over, turning it into an upper-floor hostel and a café on the first floor.

But within a few months of reopening, the Military Intelligence Agency came to the door.

In 1909, the most famous news of the Great Qi Empire was the "three major cases" of the remnants of the Iron and Blood Alliance, which burned Tianzi University, blew up the statue of Chengtianmen Taizu and attempted to assassinate the prime minister.

The terrorists acted arrogantly and had no sense of secrecy and were quickly arrested. Where were they caught?

A café called "Time Travel".

Where do these people plan and commit crimes?

The hostel upstairs of the "Time Reversal Journey".

Who is the boss of "Time Reversal"?

Jin Tong.

The hotel was seized, Jin Tong was arrested, and his sister was saved from living on the streets thanks to the care of her neighbors.

In the closed courtroom, Jin Tong spoke eloquently, trying to prove his innocence, but he was never able to clear his name of harboring the crime, and accepted the sentence of ten years of exile.

That winter, the government executed five of the first offenders. Jin Tong and 23 other members of the remnants of the "China Liberation Front," including nine girls, were forcibly escorted and put on trains.

The path of exile is too long to see an end in sight.

The government arranged for them an entire train box, which was an expensive sleeper first class.

A first-class ticket from Dijing to Shengshan County costs 40 yuan, and the reason for such a lavish cost is that the case has attracted worldwide attention, and the revolutionary party is too hateful. If the prisoner is not separated from the people, if he is killed by the righteous and brave men, he will laugh at his friends.

The exiles rarely get out of the car to breathe, and they are not in the mood to enjoy the scenery, so they try to keep a low profile, except for Jin Tong and his sister.

Jin Jing was not exiled, and the prisoner who harbored the crime was only Jin Tong.

The "Time Against Brigade" was fined and confiscated into the official, and all Jin Tong's personal property was also put into the official.

The Imperial Law on Marriage and Inheritance provided for half of the inheritance rights of men in the house. Although the law is often overlooked, the judge could not pretend not to hear Jin Jing when he protested in court that Jin Jing's personal property should not be confiscated since the verdict was not a raid.

The court found that the hostel and the Jin family's savings were the joint property of the brother and sister, and after the hostel was confiscated, Jin Jing should be compensated 4,000 yuan and had the right to withdraw 800 yuan from the savings.

The hostel is discounted by 12,000, which is also fair.

For an 11-year-old girl, 4,800 yuan is a huge amount of money, enough for her to finish middle school and buy herself a decent dowry. How should Jin Jing, who has no home, live?

The ancestors have been dead for many years, and Jin's father has a single lineage, and Jin Tong is never worried that his young sister will defect to distant relatives. In these years, people's hearts are not ancient, and there is never a shortage of stories in the newspapers about "orphan girls fleeing with money, and relatives seeking money and killing people".

The brother and sister can only go to the north together.

Diesel locomotives tow dozens of cars through one small station after another, city after city. People support the old and the young, carrying large bags and small bags into the carriages, and there is always a queue on the platform.

The exile's box was isolated, and no one entered or exited.

Jin Jing doesn't like to be quiet, she loves to laugh and like to be lively. She always made a fuss, pulling her brother to look out the car window at the unsurprisingly ordinary people, the sky.

At the end of the pole, there is an uncertain future, and only her smile can dispel the fear of the unknown.

At night, the lights of the world flew backwards along the way, and she supported her with one hand, letting the breeze flutter the bangs in front of her forehead, as if contemplating the great proposition of the universe and life.

This scene taught Jin Tong mixed feelings, and gradually felt at ease.

As long as the brother and sister are together, what is there to be afraid of?

But if I ask my sister what she is thinking, I am afraid that her answer will be either kidney bean rolls or mung bean cakes.

After three days and three nights of rail travel, the young revolutionaries were silent.

Jin Tong, who was innocently implicated, looked at their listless appearances one by one, and became more and more angry.

Although he did not know what kind of poison these college students had fallen into by starting the "Liberation Front" without reading good books, he had heard a little about the anarchism of the Predator and understood its determination to pursue social progress, and he could be regarded as a revolutionary sympathizer.

Therefore, when he was about to arrive in Shengshan County, he simply held the "Shelley's Poems" and read "Ode to the West Wind" aloud over and over again.

On the fourth time, the revolutionary hero finally lifted his spirits, and recited the most famous verse with him, and his voice grew louder and louder, and finally he shouted:

…… Just the voice of my heart, like ashes and sparks

From the unquenched fire to the world!

Let the prophecy trumpet pass through my mouth

Wake up the slumbering earth! Oh, O west wind,

If winter comes, will spring be far away!

The passionate poetry brings the hearts of the reciters together. Although they didn't say a word, in the meeting of their eyes, they had regarded Jin Tong as their own.

Unfortunately, the group got off the train with high morale, and when they walked out of the train station, they were surrounded by more than 100 local middle school students.

The hot-blooded students raised their sticks and shouted the slogan "Kill ****" and swarmed up, and the escorted bailiffs had no time to stop them.

The prisoners reacted quickly and ran to the train station when they saw that the situation was not good. Jin Tong pulled his sister and walked behind, but at this time it was exposed.

He turned around and tried to flee when he was knocked unconscious by a stick.

Then, it's time to wake up in the hospital.

Jin Tong memorized his predecessor in his mind and went through it in just a few seconds.

He looked at Jin Jing, "How long have I been in a coma?" ”

"It's been a whole day! From yesterday morning to now, it is almost twelve o'clock at noon. Jing Jing worried, "Brother, are you hungry?" I'll buy you something to eat. ”

"Don't worry, what did the doctor say?"

"The doctor said that you are not seriously injured, and you should have woken up a long time ago. I didn't wake up for some reason, but it scared me to death! As she spoke, she stroked Jin Tong's forehead, "Brother, are you okay now?" Does it still hurt? ”。

Jin Tong sighed secretly, he didn't wake up because there were two souls merging.

"It's okay! I'm all right, it doesn't hurt at all. He smiled and replied, "What happened to our good friends?" ”

"What a good friend! The bad guys were the fastest, and they didn't touch a single hair. Quietly puffed up.

"And where are they now, do you know?"

Bailiff Li said that they all stayed in the hostel. When you wake up, let's go to the care ground. ”

"By the way," Jin Tong suddenly remembered, "Jingjing, we haven't lost our luggage, right?" ”

"No loss, no loss!" Quietly proud, "I'm watching it closely." ”

"Okay, you go and call the doctor, I'm going to be discharged. Well, let's go wash my face first, and I'm crying like a little flower cat. ”

Jin Jing obediently ran out. It didn't take long for the doctor and Bailiff Li to enter the ward together. Jin Jing followed, her face washed clean, revealing a small and delicate face.

The doctor gave Jin Tong a brief examination and confirmed that there were no sequelae of the concussion and allowed him to be discharged.

Jin Tong asked about the medical bills. Bailiff Li said that the student who beat him was caught, and the parents paid 100 yuan and sent him to the hospital. Because his symptoms were abnormal, there was basically no medication for treatment, and the hospital finally refunded 70 yuan.

"Earn seventy after being beaten back, no loss!" Bailiff Lee joked.

"If you can avoid it, you can avoid it." Jin Tong smiled bitterly, "How is that student?" ”

"Patriotism is not guilty," Judge Li said lazily, "I lost 100 yuan yesterday and let it go home." ”

Jin Tong shook his head helplessly.

Out of the hospital, Jin Tong invited Bailiff Li to the restaurant. He was really hungry.

Jingjing had barely eaten since yesterday, and when she entered the restaurant, she began to feel weak and almost fainted.

This frightened Jin Tong a lot, and hurriedly asked for a bowl of millet porridge, and let his sister take a small sip and slow down.

I ordered the meal, and the pot-fourried tofu, stewed mushroom and dragon soup, crucian carp soup, and pancakes were served on the table, which was not sumptuous, but it was also affordable. After eating and drinking, of course, Jin Tong paid the money.

Bailiff Li returned to the hostel with the two siblings. Although it was a sunny day, the snow was swept up by the cold wind from time to time, flying in all directions, and the cold air was also drilled down the neck and ankles to the body.

Jin Tong was so cold that he couldn't do it, so he went to the cloakroom to buy a fur hat, scarf, cotton coat, and leather boots for himself and his sister accompanied by Bailiff Li.

After solving the problem of keeping warm and then returning to the hostel, there were still a few hundred meters away to hear the noise of people, Jin Tong looked at the lively crowd, but saw one or two hundred angry young people with banners outside the hotel.

Cries such as "The thief comes out", "Get out and die", "The turtle with a shrunken head", "There is a kind of heads-up" and the like come and go.

Jin Tong pulled her sister and turned her head and walked back, "Bailiff Li, I still think the hospital is safer." ”
