Yu Xiang was not in the mood to enjoy this beautiful night scene, he was extremely depressed, and his heart was also broken: in that society, he couldn't be promoted, he couldn't share a house, and he couldn't get married. I crossed over, almost died twice a day, and killed people.

Yu Xiang found a vacant space and sat down. He was going to be quiet. The woman in red didn't say anything, just sat silently beside her.

The moonlight shone obliquely on their shoulders, overlapping their figures. The red lady looked at the figure on the ground, thinking blankly about the girl's thoughts.

After a long time, Yu Xiang asked, "Your name is Red Lady?" ”

"Well, that's my stage name, that's what I call it on the rivers and lakes, my real surname is Mu, and my name is Matchmaker." The woman in red replied softly.

"Mu-Hong-Niang, Red Lady." Yu Xiang silently recited in his heart, a familiar name. A question came to my mind: "What year and month is it?" ”

"Chongzhen ten years in March," the red lady replied.

Yu Xiang was shocked, could it be her? "Ten years of Chongzhen at the end of the Ming Dynasty - Red Lady - Li Xin - King Chuang", is she the Red Lady who rewrote the fate of the Ming Dynasty?

If it weren't for the Red Lady, Li Xin would not have defected to King Chuang, without Li Xin persuading King Chuang to "respect the virtuous and courteous, eliminate the mob and compassionate people" to buy people's hearts, Li Zicheng would not rise in Henan so quickly, and the Ming Dynasty would not have been destroyed so quickly, the history of the Ming Dynasty may be another way to write, the Red Lady in front of her, is she really the Red Lady who rewrote the history of the Ming Dynasty?

Yu Xiang decided to confirm the identity of the woman in red, so he changed the way of inquiry: "This is in the border of Henan?" ”

"Yes!" The red lady replied.

"Do you know how to rope?" Yu Xiang continued to ask, his heart beating faster.

The red lady was surprised: "Do you know me?" My rope skills in the acrobatic class were the best. ”

Yu Xiang finally affirmed that the red lady in front of him was the legendary woman who once rewrote the history of the Ming Dynasty. Yu Xiang also has the novel "Li Zicheng" in his mobile phone, he is very interested in the history of the late Ming Dynasty, and there are several books of the late Ming Dynasty stored in his mobile phone, is this really providence!.

The history of the end of the Ming Dynasty is really miserable, according to historical records: "Chongzhen ten years leap April, the north of the drought, the Central Plains, the red field for thousands of miles, starvation all over the wilderness, the people are not happy, and the local officials are still * grain urging department, exploiting the people, the village has no barking dogs, ten rooms and nine empty. Huang'ai Chidi, the countryside is a few people; White bones and green phosphorus, night after night like a ghost. In order to survive, the common people fled one after another, which led to the rise of displaced people and the surging peasant uprisings. The Ming Dynasty is stormy. ”

He is now in Chongzhen for ten years, which means that he is about to face the tragic fate of starvation, Professor Yang said "to * heart and stomach problems" did not expect a sentence to come true, he faintly felt that this crossing may have some kind of relationship with Professor Yang.

Yu Xiang can know that in this era, the common people can cause disaster, taking Shaanxi as an example, in the late Ming Dynasty important minister Ma Maocai wrote to the imperial court in "Preparing for Chen's Great Hunger", the disaster situation in Shaanxi at that time was described in great detail, and every time I read it, it makes people shudder: "Yan'an Mansion, the minister's hometown, has no rain for 1 year since last year, and the grass and trees are scorched. In August and September, the people compete to pick the grass in the mountains and eat. Its grains are like chaff skin, and its taste is bitter and astringent. If you eat it, you can only prolong immortality. After October, when the tree is exhausted, the bark is stripped and eaten. The elm bark of the trees is not good, and the bark of the other tree is used for food, and its death can be delayed a little. At the end of the year and the bark of the tree is exhausted, it digs up the rocks in the mountains and eats them. The stone is cold and fishy, and if you eat less, you will die of bloating and falling in a few days. Some of the people were unwilling to eat stones and died, and they began to gather together as thieves, and one or two people who had a little accumulation were robbed, and looted without a trace. …… The most pitiful one, such as the place where there is a city of Ji on the west side of the city of Ansai, shall abandon one or two babies in it every day. There are those who cry, there are those who call out to their parents, and there are those who eat their dung. By the next morning, the son who had been abandoned had no life, and there were those who had abandoned him. What's even more strange, children and loners, as soon as they go out of the city, there is no trace. Later, when I saw the people outside the door, I cooked human bones for salary, and cooked human flesh for food, and I knew that the people before me were all eaten by them. And the cannibal will inevitably die of red and swollen eyes and dry heat in the next few days. So the deceased was resting on his back, and the stench was so bad that several pits were dug outside the county, each of which could accommodate hundreds of people, to cover his remains. When the minister came, he had already filled more than 3 pits, and those who could not hide it a few miles away did not know how many of them. …… There is a division that is bound by the strictness of the merit order, and has to be strict in urging the department. The only remaining remnant is only one that escapes. Flee here to the other, and flee here again. If you flee, you will become a thief, and the reason why this thief is all over Qinzhong. In terms of Qin, north of Qingyang and Yan'an, the famine was extremely tenth, and the thieves were slightly secondary; In Xi'an and Hanzhong, thieves are as high as ten, and famine is secondary. Although this is the situation in northern Shaanxi, on the border of Henan where he stands, a rare drought is about to break out, and the common people are afraid that it will be worse than this. Yu Xiang's mood was suddenly extremely heavy, and it was conceivable that in the near future, he would have to face the cruel scene of famine and cannibalism.

Thinking of this, Yu Xiang looked at the red lady beside her, at this moment she was meek like a cat, looking at their shadows in a daze, silent. Yu Xiang knows that she is not an ordinary mortal woman, she is a red lady who commands thousands of troops on the battlefield and makes opponents fearful. In the novel, she is resolute and strong, and she uses soldiers like a god, Yu Xiang always thinks that she is a fairy soldier and female general who does not eat fireworks in the world. Unexpectedly, in today's dealings, she is actually a shy and gentle girl. What kind of hardships did she have to go through to become a famous red lady in history.

The figure of the red lady is too similar to her girlfriend Yang Lili, in fact, in terms of personality, they are also so similar, in the opposition of Yang Lili's family, she will never give up on herself, and resolutely stay with herself Yang. And the red lady in history also dared to love and hate, and made the amazing move of kidnapping Li Xin* to get married, how similar is Lili and the red lady's character who dares to love and hate. When others treated Yu Xiang as a mustard, only Yang Lili regarded him as a treasure. And this red lady, who looks like a very beautiful woman, is the only person I know when I come to this new world, this feeling is tantamount to the warm feeling like a relative, and it is the warm feeling I got from Yang Lili. A sense of pride surged from the bottom of his heart, and Yu Xiang was determined to do his best to protect her, and never let him fall into the grass, so that she could eat and not go hungry in the upcoming famine. Although he himself has no confidence to do this, after all, he is just a helpless otaku now.

Yu Xiang remembered that she was still injured, and after a fight just now, he asked with concern, "Does your shoulder hurt?" ”

"It doesn't hurt, your medicine works, it feels better." The red lady replied.

At this time, a gust of mountain wind blew, it was already the middle of the night, and the night breeze in March carried a biting coolness, blowing Yu Xiang a clever. He saw that the red lady was thinly dressed, with thin shoulders, trembling slightly in the night wind.

Yu Xiang took out the thin down jacket from his backpack and draped it on the red lady's body, the red lady did not dodge too aggressively this time, and silently accepted Yu Xiang's kindness.

"Dress warmer and zip up." Yu Xiang said.

The red lady obediently put on her sleeves, but she would not use the zipper. I fiddled with it for a long time, but I couldn't figure it out.

Yu Xiang said, "I'll help you? ”

The red lady nodded in agreement, Yu Xiang turned on the wolf's tooth flashlight and handed the flashlight to the red lady.

The red lady was startled and hurriedly dodged the light of the flashlight.

Yu Xiang now knew that the ancients were afraid of lightning, just as the apes of the same kind were instinctively afraid of this light when they first came into contact with fire.

Yu Xiang put his hand in front of the flashlight and said to the red lady: "It's okay, this light doesn't hurt people, you can stretch out your hand and try it." ”

The red lady was very curious, she also stretched out her hand, the flashlight illuminated her hand clearly, although her hands were full of plaster and blood, but she could still see that it was a pair of slender hands, which made people have a kind of ** that they wanted to hold.

Yu Xiang these lewd. Of course, the trivial thoughts were not revealed, he handed the flashlight to the red lady and asked him to follow it, the red lady meekly took the flashlight, and turned the flashlight according to Yu Xiang's instructions, and Yu Xiang quickly helped her zip it.

Yu Xiang asked, "Do you still feel cold now?" ”

"It's not cold, it feels so warm!" Although the red lady has a small voice, she can hear it clearly.

"How did you kill Gu Badao? His martial arts are high. The red lady still couldn't help but ask curiously.

"It's all thanks to this wolf's tooth flashlight, I used this flashlight just now to make the short man's eyes go before I had a chance to get close to him, and he picked him up and fell to his death." Then Yu Xiang introduced the front and back to the red lady, and the red lady listened to it with half a doubt.

Yu Xiang said, I'll give you an experiment, you will know, he shook the flashlight at the eyes of the red lady, and the red lady suddenly felt a dazzling light in front of her, illuminating her eyes white, and she couldn't see anything clearly.

The red lady exclaimed: "This is better than the most powerful secret weapon, no wonder Gu Tyrant will be hit, you can use it as a hidden weapon for self-defense in the future." ”

Yu Xiang listened to it and felt reasonable, people in this era don't know about hand electricity, so they are still very afraid, and it may be useful in the future. However, the flashlight is just a strong lighting tool, and if this layer of window paper is pierced and others have prevention, this flashlight is nothing.

So Yu Xiang said to the red lady: "It may be useful to keep the flashlight for self-defense in the future, but please keep it secret, if you let others know that the flashlight is just an ordinary lighting tool, it will not play a role in deterring the enemy." ”

"What you're saying is that it really needs to be kept secret!" The red lady replied.

At the end, Yu Xiang sighed and asked, "Let's find a place to stay for one night, I'm here for the first time, and I'm not familiar with the place, so I'll have to trouble you in the future." ”

"It doesn't matter, I'm familiar here, there is an abandoned Guan Gong Temple on the top of the mountain, we can go there to rest. Tomorrow morning, I live in Mujiazhai, and then over two mountains to arrive, about half a day's journey. ”

"Okay, then let's go to Guan Gong Temple for one night first, and you can lead the way." Yu Xiang handed her the flashlight.

The red lady took the wolf's tooth flashlight and shone it in front, the road in front was immediately clear, she felt extremely surprised, her steps easily led the way in front, and Yu Xiang followed behind.

The red lady who walked in front obviously had too many doubts, she couldn't help it, and asked, "Who are you and where are you from?" Do you have a lot of such novelties? ”

Yu Xiang replied, "My name is Yu Xiang, and I come from a far away place, where there are not only many such things, where people live in abundance, no one is hungry or cold, everyone has food to eat, everyone has clothes to wear. ”

The red lady was extremely envious, "Is there really such a place in this world?" I heard that the rebels would take poor people to such places, but I didn't expect this to be true. ”

Yu Xiang hurriedly said: "It is impossible for the rebel army to take ordinary people to such a place. As for why, I'll tell you why later. ”

Yu Xiang said again, "When I have time in the future, I will tell you about our affairs, but now I must keep the secret of my identity, otherwise, I am afraid that it will bring you and me the disaster of destruction" Yu Xiang knew that if someone knew his identity, he was afraid that he would never be at peace from now on.

The red lady seemed to understand and agreed: "Please rest assured about this, I will definitely keep my mouth shut in the future." ”

Yu Xiang believes she will do what she says. Not long after, they reached the top of the hill and saw a dilapidated adobe house.

The red lady said: "It's here, this is Guan Gong Temple." Yu Xiang pushed open the dilapidated wooden door, he shone it with a flashlight, there was a statue of Guan Gong inside, like the body of the mud tire has fallen off, obviously this temple has not been presided over for a long time, but Guan Gong sat on the altar, twisting his beard, still so majestic.

Yu Xiang stood respectfully in front of the statue of Guan Gong and bowed. Then in the corner of the house, I found a place with a weed pile, where the former street sleepers had stayed. Yu Xiang flattened the haystack and let the red lady lie on it, and then covered her with grass, which was considered a quilt, and the red lady lay down obediently, obviously tired, and she soon fell asleep.

Xiangtou wondered in his heart, the famous red lady, why did she listen to her own words, so that she could do whatever she wanted, and she was not defenseless at all? What an ordinary person! Thinking about it, a wave of tiredness hit me, and I fell asleep in a daze.
