Chapter 56: The Funeral (Part II)

Ji Lun knew that she could use a gun, and when she was five or six years old, she stole a guard pistol to play, but unfortunately the first shot was an empty cartridge, and she dislocated her wrist and was found to have confiscated it...... Obviously, Colonel Ji and his wife knew the danger of their daughter and took precautions in advance, while Xiao Xiangsi was ashamed of this failure and worked hard to improve her military knowledge and skills, and no longer touched things she didn't understand.

At this time, Ji Lun checked around, and Ji Xiangsi followed up to report their history: "This silver sword is not ordinary silver, but the Yin Jia Empire...... It is the one where our ancestors crossed east to Yinzhou, and you can see that its sword spine is engraved with Yin Wen...... Square hieroglyphs, familiar, right?"

Ji Lun was stunned: "Yin Jia...... Inca Dongdu Yinzhou Yinwen?"

"Shang Dynasty writing, stupid brother is not good at learning history. Ji Xiangsi raised the silver sword and put it on Ji Lun's shoulder, she was like a queen to knights, showed a sly smile, and said: "Teach you to identify, this is the mountain, this is the sea, this is the show...... Shi is also the ancient word 'god', which means the sword of the mountain and the sea...... The ceremonial sword used for the sacrificial service, you can see that its blade resembles a feather, and the hilt is inlaid with obsidian...... The blackest natural substance in the world, not valuable, but symbolic, it is a pair of eyes, a bit similar to our ancient legend of Zhanlu, the black eyes of the heavens...... With feathers, it is a description of their sacrifice to the legendary Quetzalcoatl God, so its earlier original owner should not be Yin Jia. ”

Ji Lun was stunned when he heard it...... Huanqiu, and Yin Zhou...... What the hell...... I always feel that there is something wrong with this world.

"All in all, brother, you just need to know that this is a variant of the sacrifice to Haotian, this silver sword originally belonged to a Middle Yinzhou Empire before the Yinjia Empire, but unfortunately we can't spy on more cultures, the Yinjia Empire was destroyed by the tricks and tricks of the colonists of the Spanya Empire, the emperor was taken hostage for extortion, causing civil strife and disease epidemics, the priests died in massacres, and the text books were burned to destroy the evidence of the original owner since ancient times...... Now the remaining remnants are shrunk in remote mountainous areas, and they may not last long...... Those are our distant people, who share our fate......"

Ji Xiangsi sighed, she knew what was happening in the world through books, foreign studies, and newspaper exhibitions in various countries, but the general trend of the colonization of the states of the world by the great powers and the swallowing of the universe was not something that could be reversed by her little girl: "So the last owner of this silver sword is about ...... Well, Spanya's officer. ”

"Oh, it's not practical...... Ji Lun didn't hesitate to throw it aside, and picked up other small objects: "What about this?"

"Blood-colored tusks, one palm long, not ivory, carnivore, it should be very large, a bit of a saber-toothed tiger...... However, the Brietan Encyclopedia describes that this type of sword-ruler mammal must have been extinct long ago, and it has not been heard of in the naturalists...... Strange, I can't tell what animal it belongs to...... It may be a mysterious species, etc., it was mentioned in the journal of a certain priest who peeked at the adults before......" Ji Xiangsi opened her small suitcase and took out a silver-covered diary to flip through.

"Bloodline. Guillen muttered.

Ji Xiangsi was stunned, hugged the silver book to his chest, and said curiously, "What is that?"

"Forgotten. Guillen said.

Ji Xiangsi rolled his eyes: "Stupid brother......"

Miao Qingyun looked at her sister and brother with a smile, and after reading it, she introduced: "These are all Colonel Ji Jiang's trophies...... Some are mysterious supernatural enemies, special mercenaries belonging to the Great Powers. ”

Obviously, this colonel's father has a lot of foreign blood under his hands, Ji Lun bowed slightly, and was mentally prepared for what might happen to Ji Jiang's son in the future, and said: "Now the banks are all opened by foreigners in the concession, and in the future, our Ji family should be the object of their refusal to serve, right?"

Miao Qingyun was stunned for a moment, probably understood what he meant, and smiled: "The colonel once chatted with his wife, sarcastically saying that these vultures do not refuse any money, even if it is stained with their own blood...... This is the great powers, they are not moral. ”

Ji Lun nodded, familiar with this kind of rule.

Later, I listened to her continue to introduce that it was said that the original colonel's mansion was the property of the military, and now it has been recovered, including many free service personnel, and after consulting those people, they all said that they were unwilling to stay without Colonel Jijiang's mansion, so they took it back as usual.

Only Miao Qingyun herself was left, and her little sister Zhe Hanmei was later - the female orderly who commanded the soldiers to move furniture, shorter than Miao Qingyun, and her face was also neutral and handsome, with a mediocre chest, Ji Lun felt that if she put on makeup, she would probably be able to pretend to be a beautiful boy, or pretend to be an ugly ordinary man...... There is no malicious intent, just habitually thinking about military applications.

Miao Qingyun and the beautiful boy...... Oh, the little junior sister Zhehanmei, the two of them filled in the intention form to stay voluntarily, and it happened that two people were going to be left to take care of Ji Jiang's children, so they used them directly - there is no employment fee, it is according to the salary of the service soldiers, and the expenses of the new family are also exempted, and no one expects a teenager and a little girl to be able to support the family, so they have to take care of the province if they can.

There are still a lot of properties, which are not the focus of attention for the sister and brother at this time, and after browsing the military collection of the colonel's father, there is a lack of interest, and the elder sister Ji Xiangsi doesn't talk much.

"Report!"

A young handsome ensign stood at the door, 'snapped' and raised his hand in salute, in fact, when he was on the street outside, Ji Lun heard his footsteps, and the military boots were stepping on the regularity, some different soldiers, and then turned his head to observe.

This person has a small bullet mark on his cheek, a blue-black military uniform, a spear, a sword, and a salute with a raised hand, and the white gloves are very eye-catching, and he is a meticulous person.

"Are you?" said Ji Lun, stopping Miao Qingyun who wanted to speak.

I heard the second lieutenant himself report: "I am second lieutenant Jiang Shan, and I have been ordered to come to protect you...... This is the document, please see. ”

Ji Lun checked it, looked at the photo, looked at the person, and handed it back: "The person is more handsome than the photo." ”

At this compliment, Jiang Shan's expression was a little caught off guard and dissatisfied: "......"

"Poof......" Ji Xiangsi smiled and covered her mouth again, it was obvious that this captain was not good at joking, but he was not as mature as a teenager in this regard, she watched her brother interact with outsiders with great interest, and when she saw her brother, she asked again: "Is there anything else?"

Jiang Shan returned to his duties solemnly and stated: "Lu Hou has issued an order to award you the rank of second lieutenant, please report to the county in three days......

"Three days, report?"

Ji Lun felt the stimulation of a faint pain in the brand on his shoulder...... Lu Hou ordered, it should be little Lu Hou, and his father continued to be the object of allegiance, as for this Jiang Shan, I remembered that he was the last adjutant of Colonel Ji Jiang, or rather, his father's adopted son...... Beyond the mist of the garden seen from the mother's balcony, there was my father, and this young man Jiang Shan, who had bullet holes on his hands, so he wore white gloves all year round.

"Yes, Second Lieutenant Guillon, do you have any questions?"

Ji Lun sneered, and was about to say something, when his sister Ji Xiangsi pressed his hand, she also recognized the person, nodded and smiled: "Jiang Shan, weren't you a sergeant before? ”

Regarding the girl's interjection, she is not an active soldier, and on the surface she is only a ten-year-old girl, Jiang Shan can no longer keep a straight face, his expression eases, and says: "I have been promoted for a year, and this time it is an order from Shangfeng, in order to better protect your younger brother Second Lieutenant Ji Lun...... Please don't get me wrong. ”

What is the misunderstanding?Is it protection or surveillance?

Ji Lun's expression was noncommittal, but his sister reminded herself that she had just been discharged from the hospital and was not clear about the situation outside the Ji Mansion, and remembered Dr. Huang's reminder that it was best to choose to be cautious, so she raised her hand and returned a military salute: "Obey!"

Jiang Shan handed over the decree document to Ji Lun, and then his expression became much more natural: "From now on, we will be comrades-in-arms." ”

Two female orderlies went outside to fetch water from the well, preparing to clean the dust left behind by the removal of furniture, and the six or seven soldiers who had just come over to move the furniture on the last trip watched this scene and clapped their hands with a smile, like a torrential rain: "The two commanders are not short of manpower, and we can ...... too."

"You little bunnies, why are you so clever today...... Hurry up and get into the car for Lao Tzu, there are still things to do in the old house. Another lieutenant punched and kicked his subordinates out of the door, and waved to the door with a smile: "Two brothers, next time I have time, I will invite you to dinner." ”

Jiang Shan also beckoned, Ji Lun showed a smile and followed the action, Ji Xiangsi raised his head gently: "Brother, push me to the bathroom." ”

"Uh......"

Jiang Shan consciously stood at the door and did not move, Ji Lun pushed his sister's wheelchair to the bathroom, and when he was guarding outside, he heard the sound of water inside, mixed with her soft voice: "Brother don't believe Jiang Shan easily, there are still three days to report the order, and you should be careful." ”

"I will. Ji Lun thought the same way, but he didn't trust the person who suddenly appeared in front of him, this was the instinct of the traverser, in other words, he didn't trust anyone except his sister...... Including the adjutant of his father's son, he only experienced the test of blood and fire with his father, but not with himself.

So far, he has experienced ups and downs with him, so that he can confirm the authenticity of his feelings - and he is a living person, only his sister Ji Xiangsi is left, which is even more important than her blood-related relatives.

After lunching wordlessly, my sister and brother asked who made the dishes, and when they learned that it was Miao Qingyun, they praised Miao Qingyun's craftsmanship, and she was a little embarrassed to say: "Compared to Mrs., it's too much worse...... Uh......"

The orderly looked apologetic, and she remembered that her brother and sister were going to visit their mother in the afternoon......

After resting for a while, Ji Lun pushed the wheelchair and took his sister to the yard for a turn, and he could see that including the steps, had been transformed, and it was not temporary, maybe the family had prepared to welcome the return of his sister and brother.

After walking around, Ji Lun asked a little strangely, "Where is Steward Fei?"

"I don't know, I heard Zhe Hanmei say that the housekeeper went to the county town...... Maybe it's a task assigned by an adult?" Miao Qingyun said in an uncertain tone, and looked at the sky again: "But I should be back soon...... He was hired, and he always came to see Xiaolang. ”

Ji Lun sighed and didn't speak.

Ji Xiangsi was not interested in going around the empty house more, she said, "Let's go to my mother's." ”

"Good. Ji Lun nodded, for sisters and brothers, the place where their mother is there is a home, not a house.
