Chapter 0124: Coming Enemy
Time was constantly passing, and when it came to August, Miao Gang came up the mountain again, and his face was very ugly.
"What's going on? Hey, those Oriental people have been very arrogant recently, and some time ago they even made fake news about Wanbaoshan, which caused a riot on the Bangzi Peninsula.
"I've heard that a lot of people died. Those who used to do business on the Bangzi Peninsula ended up fleeing and returning covered in blood, so that they could be regarded as saving their lives.
"But all their possessions were taken away by the Orientals on the Bangzi Peninsula. The newspapers have been talking about this all day long, and it's really miserable. The young marshal is not here, so I will be offended!"
After a detailed inquiry, Lao Dao and Gray Qingyan also figured out the situation.
It was the Orientals who instigated the sticks to make trouble and caused the tragedy of expelling overseas Chinese from the Sticks Peninsula. In order to make trouble, the Orientals directly fabricated fake news in the newspapers that hundreds of sticks had been killed in China.
With this propaganda, it diverted the contradiction of its own annexation of the Bangzi Peninsula and transferred the anger of the sticks to the country. Plotted the sticks on the peninsula to attack the overseas Chinese.
Gray Qingyan is still lamenting that Oriental people are shameless in doing things, but Lao Dao has already begun to remind his nephew to be cautious in the next time.
"How is it prudent?" not only Miao Gang couldn't understand, but Gray was also confused.
Lao Dao's expression was serious: "I estimate that these eighty percent are Orientals who are tempting." The young marshal and the elite outside the customs are not there, and the Orientals are afraid that they will take advantage of the weakness. After Fenqiang went back,
"Remember to keep the door open and don't go out. If nothing happens in the next 2 months. Wait for the snow to fall in the winter, and there will be no risk this year. But next year, we need to be more vigilant. ”
Miao Gang remembered Lao Dao's instructions and went down the mountain with things, and Lao Dao said to Ash lightly at night: "Eventful, eventful!"
After this incident passed, Lao Dao and Gray Qingyan also returned to their daily busy state.
When the first snow falls on the mountain, the whole mountain is covered in white. Another winter is coming.
Gray Qingyan is now familiar with life in the mountains, collecting fuel, collecting food, collecting grain, and following the old way to make wine this year. It is used with wild fruits from the mountains.
This is still the inspiration after going to the night beach and drinking Western wine and fruit wine.
Gray Qingyan specially made up for this brewing knowledge, and Lao Dao bought special koji and rock sugar, and ordered wine barrels.
Anyway, many blueberries in the mountains will eventually spoil with the seasons if they are not eaten in time. It's completely in vain to make these good things, it's better to make wine.
After more than half a month, the first batch of blueberry wine was successfully brewed.
A pure rose-coloured fruit wine with a sweet and tangy taste. Lao Dao was full of praise after tasting it, and even finally drank too much because he couldn't control the amount of alcohol.
Ash was also impressed by blueberry wine, and fell in love with making blueberry wine in the mountains. Compared with the foreign wine and fruit wine on the night beach, the professionalism is definitely not as good as others, but it can't bear the fullness of the fruit on the mountain.
After pure fermentation, the result is an extremely mellow blueberry wine. In the following years, Gray Qingyan gradually became perfect due to familiarity. More careful thinking, and constantly improve the formula.
Within a few years, he and Lao Dao worked together to improve the delicious blueberry wine.
Since then, I have not made blueberry wine every year, and I feel uncomfortable all over my body, no matter whether I am old or gray. And this specialty wine has become a major feature of the mountain.
As soon as the heavy snow stopped the following year, Lao Michi and Gray received the shocking news from the beard outside the mountain: the Toyo people launched the Wicker Lake Incident on September 18 last year.
Then there is a full-scale attack by the Oriental people outside the Guanwai, it is said that in the New Year of the Gregorian calendar, the Oriental people even captured the gateway to the Guanwai Jinxiu City, completely blocking the way of the young marshal to enter the pass.
“...... Some time ago, the newspaper also said that the Oriental devils also sent warships to attack the Night Sea. It is said that there was also a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and the elite troops in the center were defeated.
"Some time ago, these little Oriental devils also helped Emperor Xuantong out and announced that they were going to establish a barbarian state. I heard that many old and young people have been recruited, and they have the idea of blackmailing the Son of Heaven to order the princes.
"In the future, outside this pass, I'm afraid I'll have to listen to the fingers of these Oriental dwarfs! Our big boss also said that in the future, the mountain will not be peaceful, I'm afraid that there will be a time to bother the old fairy you!"
Gray Qingyan now understands that Lao Dao's position in the hearts of these bearded people is completely due to the added value brought by excellent medical skills.
The bearded men were born to fight for their lives on the back of a dead horse, and no one could say when they would be injured. Befriending a doctor with excellent medical skills is definitely right at all times.
After returning to the Taoist temple on Black Bear Ridge, Lao Dao and Gray couldn't speak for a long time, so they were silent.
"Hey, master, what you said to Brother Fenqiang last year really came true. These little Oriental devils really did it before winter! I don't know if Brother Fenqiang's family is okay?"
Lao Dao sighed and waved his hand: "In this matter, we can only count on the will of heaven." When the soldiers are in danger, they can't say anything. I really didn't expect these little dwarfs to have such a good appetite!"
After some explanation, I understood that Lao Dao's initial judgment was that these Orientals took advantage of the absence of the young marshal and the elite troops outside the Guan, and then expanded some territory to take advantage.
I didn't expect these Oriental dwarfs to have such a good appetite and directly swallow the entire Guanwai. And the reaction of the young marshal and the government is also very surprising, losing such a large territory in a short period of time.
Moreover, according to Hu Zi, there was no fierce resistance from the hundreds of thousands of troops outside the Guan, and they were almost crushed at the touch of a button.
However, in just half a year, the huge land outside the gate was lost, and countless factories, banks, and mines were all lost to a small number of troops of the Orientals.
"Hey, we can't do anything about such a national event, let's think about how to live! Now that the Orientals are here, I'm afraid that this Black Bear Ridge may not be a peaceful paradise. ”
Since the old Tao has said so, of course Gray Qingyan chooses to believe it.
If nothing else, at least the necessary precautions must be arranged. All kinds of traps and traps, as well as obstacles, were laid out one after the other.
Anyway, the Black Bear Ridge itself is remote enough, and the mountain is closed by heavy snow all year round. It's okay for a few people to walk around, but it's very difficult to move around freely on a large scale.
Even if there are Easterners to investigate, there will definitely be no large troops, and only a small force will come to deter them.
Gray said lightly that he had strengthened his cultivation and intelligence gathering to ensure peace and tranquility on the mountain as much as possible. But what should come is still not avoided after all.
At noon in July of this year, Gray Qingyan saw a shadowy procession coming up along a treacherous mountain road.
"Master, master, what should we do? I've seen that those people are wearing khaki military uniforms, with a lot of weapons and ammunition on their bodies, and plaster flags, they should be a small detachment of Orientals. ”
"How many people are there?" Lao Dao was not alarmed, but he also grabbed Shui Lianzhu and walked out with Ash as soon as possible.
Gray Qingyan recalled slightly: "There were about 6 or 7 people, all carrying spears. There wasn't much weight on his body, and it looked like he was coming straight for us. ”
"Hmm, that should be the leakage of the surrounding beards. Let's go, let's go and meet these Orientals for a while. ”
In fact, Lao Dao guessed correctly.
These little Oriental devils who rushed over were indeed in a sweep a few days ago, annihilating a group of beards nearby and learning the news that there was a Taoist temple on the mountain.
In the spirit of the thief not going empty, he hurried over again, wanting to find out the situation here.
Rushing over was a small detachment with the machine gun group removed, only 7 people. The leader is the squad leader Pig Head Wunan.
This is a short, stout fierce fellow who has participated in almost all military operations that swept through the gates. At this moment, it is a time of complacency.
In his opinion, this neighbor around Toyokuni is simply vulnerable. Just a casual bayonet stab can kill everyone's spirit.
This time he came to explore Black Bear Ridge, he also took the initiative to attack, and he didn't even have time to report to the top. Originally, he was given the task of appeasing the bandit forces in the surrounding places.
In the previous battle, at the cost of only 1 seriously injured and 2 slightly injured and not killed, he knocked out the beard of dozens of dozens of bandits' dens.
After learning that there was a Taoist temple on Black Bear Ridge, he left the wounded and the members of the machine gun team behind, and personally led the rest of the soldiers to rush over.
It is said that the Taoist priests here are very good at healing the sick and are also good at treating the wounded. In order to prevent the seriously injured from dying of their injuries, the pig-headed man wanted to rush over to catch Lao Dao and treat their injuries.
By the time Gray Qingyan led the old road over, the pig-headed man who was not familiar with the mountain road was still leading a few little devils to stagger.
The mountain road in Black Bear Ridge is not easy to walk even if there is no heavy snow to close the road now. If you are not familiar with the terrain here, it is not so easy to enter the mountains.
"Master, what should we do?"
Lao Dao poked his head and looked at it carefully, and then frowned: "I'm afraid that the person who came is not good!"
Gray can't see the depth, but Lao Dao is very familiar with the Orientals. Obviously, these people are in a battle forward formation, and they definitely don't come to the mountains to make friends.
After thinking for a moment, Lao Dao turned his head and looked at Gray lightly and said very seriously: "Disciple, do you think we want to endure humiliation and learn from Han Xin?"
Ash was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to his senses.
After years of continuous learning with the old way, he has been able to understand a lot of allusions. Obviously, Lao Dao's current meaning is to let him choose between the humiliation of the crotch and the destruction of the boat.
For Gray Qingyan, who has long been unaccustomed to looking at Orientals, this is simply a multiple-choice question: "Master, then let's leave them in Feishan." ”
"Oh?
"It's hard for us to say anything else, but on this mountain, they can't help but be arrogant. You see, I'm sure they'll not come and go!"
