Chapter 49: The Flight (2)
On the eve of Yuan Shikai's proclamation as emperor, they met again at the Beijing District Court. Ah You resisted her master's rape and killed her by mistake, and the judge ruled that she was justified in defense and released her in court, but was taken away by the heir to the master's family, the small county king of Ordos Doro, Mongolia.
Two years have passed, they have grown taller, Qin Beiyang has become stronger, and Ah You is already a budding girl.
"Reunion of the old people! You talk about the old days first, and I'll go to the gate of the temple to take a look. ”
Qi Yuanshan, who was quite knowledgeable, walked out with a gun.
Qin Beiyang, who stayed in the Daxiong Treasure Palace, didn't have time to ask Ah Youshu for warmth, so he first briefly interrogated the four bandits before learning that they planned to tear up the ticket at midnight. The reason why the guards on the top of the mountain were so lax was because no one would have thought that rescue soldiers would fall from the sky.
After five months in Shanghai, among the employees of Dharma Mountain on the sea, Qin Beiyang has learned a stumbling Wuyue dialect: "The old and many antiques in the wing room are from the scattered places?" ”
"Digging ......"
"Gravedigging?"
The bandits looked at each other and admitted. They not only bullied the living, but also the dead, and concurrently engaged in tomb robbery business, digging up the leftovers in the imperial tombs of the Southern Song Dynasty. However, those tombs have been dug many times since ancient times, and there are not many treasures left.
Suddenly, fierce gunfire rang out outside the mountain gate.
Qin Beiyang locked up the bandits and asked Ah You to hide under the eaves and not move, and he went to the mountain gate to help Qi Yuanshan. It turned out that the bandit brigade halfway up the mountain accidentally found a huge oval egg on the top of the mountain, so they went up the mountain to check the situation. Seeing that there were more and more bandits, bullets whizzed past their cheeks.
From the rooftop, Qian Ke shouted: "The airship is ready, let's go!" ”
They shot back as they climbed onto the airship pod. Qin Beiyang asked Ah You to climb the soft ladder first, and the fourteen-year-old girl was as light as a swallow and quickly got into the pod. Qi Yuanshan then climbed up, and the last one was Qin Beiyang, who had used up all his bullets.
American technicians lift anchor and lift off. At this time, the wind direction was favorable, and the airship gradually left the top of Huiji Mountain. Chanco turned on the propellers and let the airship speed away. Below there was a steady stream of gunfire from the bandits.
The technician warned that once the soft airship airbag is hit by a bullet, it will detonate hydrogen, which is very dangerous. The pod had already been hit by a few bullets, but fortunately, another gust of wind swept in and flew up between the bright moon and lotus clouds, exceeding the effective range of the bullets.
In the airship pod, the Qian father and son bowed to Qin Beiyang and Qi Yuanshan to thank them. It was so crowded that they stood as if they were tied together, and their bones ached from each other's bones. The American technician said that he could not distinguish the terrain at night, and it was impossible to fly back to Shanghai, so he had to find a place to land as soon as possible. And on the black plain, the only light is Shaoxing Fucheng.
Ah Humor was silent, this airship made her tremble, and Qin Beiyang protected her with his arms all the way. The airship crossed the ancient city wall, causing panic among the people in the city, and countless people came out with lanterns to watch. The technician and Qian Ke operated together, found a vacant lot in the city, the large school field behind the government office, and there were lights around to guide them, and slowly landed.
Qi Yuanshan was the first to jump off the ground, found the Qinggang brothers in Shaoxing City, and notified the government to properly protect the airship.
The Green Gang arranged for them to stay in the fast garden in the city. Although the garden is dilapidated, it is the place where Zhang Dai lived in his later years, and he wrote "Kuaiyuan Daogu", each article has a few words, but it is like "The World Says New Language", well-read and widely remembered, eternal and witty. Most of the local youth gang brothers are men in black felt hats who are rocking awning boats, opening the red urn jar of their aged daughter, and feasting guests to drink and suppress their horrors. Famous figures of modern Chinese new culture: Qiu Jin, Xu Xilin, Cai Yuanpei, Jiang Menglin, and the three brothers of the Zhou family all came out of this city, both men and women have a strong temperament, and Jiangnan can also throw spears and daggers in their dreams, just like this wine, this crab, and this good man......
Qin Beiyang tasted river crab for the first time, and couldn't help the stamina of Huadiao, and he was so drunk that he couldn't help but be short of breath.
When it was almost dawn, the wine woke up.
Qin Beiyang opened the window lattice and looked at the autumn moon in the mountains. In ancient times, Lu You, Wang Yangming, Xu Wenchang and Zhang Dai were all illuminated by this same round of the moon.
A small beast-like figure appeared in front of the window, with a small pigtail dragging behind it. With the strength of the wine that has not yet dissipated, he still thinks that the nine colors have appeared. Qin Beiyang turned over and jumped out, only to find that it was a fourteen-year-old girl.
"Ah You, why don't you sleep?"
Qin Beiyang took off his coat and put it on her. The two sat side by side on the steps, watching the moonlight on the whitewashed walls and tiles together.
"Brother, you haven't asked me why I haven't seen Beijing for two years, but I'm in the bandit's den on the top of the mountain."
"I want you to talk about it later."
Actually, Qin Beiyang was embarrassed to ask, he was no longer a child, and he had heard about some men and women. A fourteen-year-old girl, tied up in a bandit's den, if something happens, wouldn't it be a sore spot if she asked? Ah You has a strong temperament, in order to protect his innocence, he did not hesitate to stab to death the master who wanted to rape him, what if he went to find a short meeting this time?
"Brother, I know what you're thinking, but my body is still clean, I don't believe you can come and check it."
Ah You rested his head on his shoulder, and said with a big blow, and the big braid also fell behind him.
"Where do you want to go? I ......" Qin Beiyang hurriedly moved away, and was clumsy for a while, "Sister, I'm happy for you!" Sincerely! ”
"Brother Beiyang, do you still remember that in the winter of two years ago, at the gate of the Yamen of the court in Beijing, I was taken away by the little county king of Ordos Doro and rode on a camel to say goodbye to you?"
"I will never forget it for the rest of my life!"
"I followed the camel caravan of the little county king, crossed the mountains and mountains, crossed the Great Wall, walked through the snow-covered grasslands and barren beaches, and crossed the Yellow River on a sheepskin raft. On the first day of Ordos, there was a rebellion, and it seemed that other princes were vying for the throne, and many Mongol knights came to attack the palace. The little prince fled on horseback, the old prince fell into their hands, and the palace was full of corpses. I heard that the Beiyang Army stationed in Yulin came to the rescue, and the rebels took me away when they fled. ”
"Hey, Ah You, it's the first time I've heard you say something long."
Qin Beiyang also found that her speech had become crepe, her Henan accent had been changed to official dialect with a few words of Shaoxing dialect, and the past "I" had also become the current "I".
"In the past two years, I have had to learn to deal with people, and I have learned to read and write on my own. Not only can he write the word 'Ayou', but also the word 'Qin Beiyang'. For many nights, I was alone to the moon and wrote your name on the sand with a branch. I believe that one day, you will appear in front of me. ”
"It was a fateful day. Ah You, what happened later? ”
The girl said lightly: "The rebels wanted to flee to Outer Mongolia, but I took advantage of their lax guards and escaped alone. I couldn't tell the direction on the grassland, and I didn't know how to walk in Ordos, and when I was about to starve to death after walking for many days, a nomadic herder rescued me. The kind Mongolian grandmother raised me for a few months, and later entrusted me to the Shanxi caravan that ran to Kulun. In this way, I returned to the mainland, first to Shanxi, and then to my hometown in Henan. Later, I begged for food with Hanako, and almost starved to death in the winter, and almost died of illness in the summer. But it seems that my life is the greatest, and everyone else dies one by one, either being thrown into the river or eaten by wild dogs. I was the only one who survived, crossing the whole of China from north to south. ”
