Chapter 5: The Appearance of the Inner Ghost (Revision)
After Li Chengbing left, Xu Bin felt no sleepiness, and quickly walked out of the room to a mountain pass next to the cottage. Looking at the mountain shrouded in moonlight and starlight, it seems so mysterious and quiet.
Compared with the time and space before his rebirth, he had also seen such a night scene by starlight on the snipered Junfeng Mountain, which made Xu Bin, who felt a little lonely, look at this somewhat familiar and unfamiliar mountain, and feel a little more home.
There is a saying that 'fallen leaves return to the roots', and now Xu Bin, who came to this time and space by resurrecting the corpse, looked at the looming farmhouse lights in the distant village below the mountain, and a deep sense of intimacy welled up in his heart for some reason.
Although he couldn't understand why he could be reborn in this plane and kingdom after being sniped. But he is very sober in his heart, as long as he is really willing or works hard to do something practical for these people of Longhua Country who have the same skin color and accent as in his previous life, or the hometown people with this body, he really has the ability to change something.
The province of Gannan where he is now is also an inland province like his hometown of Tay Giang in his previous life. As an inland province of Longhua country, its unique geographical advantages and climate environment should have been known for its rich products and humanities, and it is known as "the treasure of things and outstanding people".
But at this time, Gannan, which was under the control of the foreign warlords, did not let the people enjoy the benefits of these advantageous geographical environments. On the contrary, the Liuyang warlord who controlled Gannan used this place as his rear base for food supplies. Not to mention the wanton looting of the people's fat and ointment, the people of Gannan were forced to be displaced.
Although Xu Bin has no interest in paying attention, now that warlord is the governor of Gannan, he knows one thing very well, if the situation in Longhua Kingdom continues to be so chaotic, the people on this side may inevitably be affected by this protracted war.
Although the time and space in which he is located is different from his previous life, it is due to the sensitivity of a soldier to the aura of danger. Xu Bin seems to be able to imagine from the silence of the night a scene of people being displaced and the originally peaceful villagers being destroyed. Because Gannan Province is victorious in producing rice, it is bound to become a base for war-ready grain depots that those domestic ambitious warlords are vying for.
In the previous life, people jokingly called Xu Bin's hometown Xijiang Province as the old revolutionary area, but his understanding of this old area was that it was 'always a poor and backward area'. In his opinion, if there had not been several wars in Xijiang in the previous life, and there were people who could resist the little devils in the years of the War of Resistance Against Japan, I believe that after China truly entered the unification, the people there would also live a happy and peaceful life!
If Gannan is really the Xijiang of the previous life, then who dares to guarantee that in this land, the kind of tragedy in the previous life will not happen?
As a pure soldier, Xu Bin doesn't like to talk about politics, because that thing is full of intrigue in his opinion, he is a straightforward and a bit of a short-term person, and he still likes to engage in simple military work.
But at the same time, he understands a truth very well, if the history of Gannan continues to develop like the Xijiang in the previous life, then in this land that still seems peaceful, there will also be countless human tragedies in the history of Xijiang in the previous life.
Then Gannan, who is abnormally imagined in a different time and space and Xijiang, will the tragedy of Xijiang's hometown in the previous life also happen?
Xu Bin, who felt that he seemed to be a little more mysterious the more he thought about it, was suddenly interrupted by a nightingale flying out of the mountains and forests in the distance, thinking that he hadn't even managed a bandit village now. I was worried about these borderless things, could it be that after I crossed over, I still had paranoia.
You must know that this is not the Republic of China period in China, but the warlord melee period in Longhua Kingdom. A lot of history is only afraid of being different from the history of the previous life, so he needs to change the preconceived ideas of the previous life as soon as possible. If the historical trajectory of the previous life is rigidly applied to this space, it will really be a big mess.
Xu Bin, who knew that he was thinking too far and too complicated, put aside those national events that did not need to be considered for the time being, and began to think about the difficulties in front of him. Only by solving the hidden dangers in the cottage can he rely on this small bandit den to accumulate financial strength little by little.
Even if he can't accomplish any important tasks that change the world, he can't become a national hero who stands up to the sky. But Xu Bin is still very clear about how much ability he has to do many things.
Just when Xu Bin was about to go back to the place where he lived, he found the third uncle who was in charge of managing the property and logistics of the cottage, and took a good inventory of the capital that he could freely dispose of in this life. In the mountain forest just now, a few nightingales suddenly flew out in a row in a row.
Due to the professional sensitivity of the army in his previous life, Xu Bin suddenly realized that the situation in this forest was a little wrong. It can be said that a nightingale flies up from a resting place, if a continuous group of nightingales escapes from a resting place overnight. Then there was only one possibility, and that was that there was something in the woods where they roamed and enough to scare them away, or rather people.
Someone wants to sneak up on the cottage at night?
Thinking of this possibility, Xu Bin hurriedly bent down and carefully observed every move in the woods. Although the moonlight is good at night, it is still somewhat difficult to see the situation in the forest at least 100 meters away. But Xu Bin didn't think about seeing who it was at all, he just needed to confirm that there were people in the forest.
Those people who don't sleep at such a big night and run to the forest next to the cottage are not here to visit!
Just as Xu Bin was lying on the ground observing the movement in the forest, a kind of elongated and short syllable "Ou Ou Ou" suddenly sounded in the forest. Xu Bin, formerly known as the Southwest China Falcon Special Forces, is really a big knife in front of Guan Gong in the dark forest. This is learned from the owl's code, he is a special elite who is proficient in jungle special operations, how can he not tell whether it is a bird or a human call.
The other party may not have imagined that the code originally issued to prevent exposure would expose them to Xu Bin. After knowing that there was indeed an enemy in the forest, Xu Bin's first reaction was to inform the brothers in the cottage to get ready. Otherwise, if you touch the enemy of the cottage in the middle of the night, a careless one may really bring them unpredictable dangers.
Xu Bin, who was about to leave quietly, suddenly heard a slight and obviously suppressed footsteps on the mountain road leading to his hideout.
Why didn't anyone rest at such a late hour? Could it be that it's the inner ghost you guessed? Joining forces with these enemies hiding in the woods?
Xu Bin, who had countless questions and speculations in his mind, quickly burrowed into the weeds on the side of the road like a ghost, waiting for the light-footed man to walk in front of him. Xu Bin was a little incredulous, wiped his eyes, he couldn't imagine that it would be him who might be the enemy in the forest.
Through the memory in the boy's mind, this guy was called the Three Monkeys by his father, and it is not clear what his real name is, only that this bandit who is not a few years older than him has been responsible for finding out news and intelligence for the cottage since he was rescued by his father a few years ago. Could it be that this person will be the one who betrayed his father and copycat brothers this time?
Whether the three monkeys are ghosts or not, the facts no longer allow Xu Bin not to believe it, and he saw the three monkeys and the people in the forest below the mountain sending out a code. Xu Bin really wanted to kill this wolf-hearted white-eyed wolf immediately, but reason told him to hold back the anger in his heart, and quietly left the side of the road and quickly ran back to the cottage.
When he returned to the cottage, Xu Bin immediately found Li Chengbing and told him to whisper to the brothers in the cottage. Take advantage of the fortifications that built the Haode cottage in the early years, and give these guys who dare to attack their ideas and turf to catch turtles in an urn.
Hearing that Xu Bin inadvertently distracted, he actually found the enemy who was touching the village at night, and also arrested the three monkeys who he had ruled out the suspicion of ghosts. This made Li Chengbing, who learned the news, also feel embarrassed.
Previously, in Li Chengbing's view, the three monkeys have survived until now, completely because of the benevolence and righteousness of the cottage master, and when he went down the mountain, he was pitiful and took him in until now. This kind of life-saving grace is impossible for the three monkeys to betray the big boss.
But who would have thought that the three monkeys, who are usually regarded as righteous sons and trusted by the big bosses, would do such a heartless betrayal of the cottage and the life-saving benefactor.
Out of secrecy, Li Chengbing called the bandits out of the room, and did not tell them that the three monkeys were internal ghosts, because he knew very well that these brothers who thought the same way as him, if they knew that the three monkeys were the internal ghosts who betrayed their big boss, they probably would not calmly wait to ambush the enemies who robbed the village.
Li Chengbing, who is familiar with the situation of the cottage, is in charge of the formation for the time being, and Xu Bin can rest assured that the third uncle, who has a trace of worry on his face, is hiding in the backyard. Xu Bin quickly returned to the room and took out two brand-new box cannons from the drawer.
This barge gun with a capacity of 20 rounds is ideal for use in close combat situations. This is also when he learned to shoot, the cheap father specially bought it for him to defend himself. You know, the price of this gun is not cheap, and ordinary people are really reluctant to buy it and can't afford it.
Perhaps Xu Bin, who had not felt the blood of gunpowder for a long time, thought that he would have the opportunity to relive the joyful feeling of bloody fighting when he was in the Falcon Special Forces at night. The confusion at the beginning of the crossing soon disappeared without a trace with the first battle after the crossing.
