Chapter 211 Lou Yuxiao
Lou Yuxiao, who took advantage of his identity to fool the soldiers and then ran away with his father in the middle of the night, couldn't help but sneeze and rubbed his nose. He knew without thinking that it was his father and sister who were talking about him.
"I've been running away for quite a while, you can't send soldiers to chase me, right?"
In fact, Lou Yuxiao also felt guilty - the bravest thing he had ever done in his life was to be lazy when his father asked him to practice martial arts. This was the first time he had ever done such a thing as running away without saying a word.
Yes, that's right. The second son of the Lou family, who appears to be indecisive and useless, actually has a rebellious heart and a hidden rebellious nature.
When he just ran out, the night was as dark as ink, and the stars were twinkling. Lou Yuxiao quietly climbed onto the horse, and felt his heart beating wildly. The horse under his crotch neighed, as if it also knew about his risky move.
The moment he raised the whip, all one could hear was the rapid sound of horse hooves and the violent beating of the chest.
At this moment, he felt both nervous about the unknown future and happy to be free from the shackles. Without telling his father and sister, he finally broke through the cage built by the barracks.
There is no pressure from his family, no disappointed look from his father, and it has nothing to do with his family's honor or disgrace, or his identity as the second son of the Lou family. At this moment, he is just a young man who wants to do something for his ideals. Between his rapid breaths, he seems to have the real feeling of being alive.
The sound of horse hooves broke the silence of the night and the hesitation in his heart. Fear and excitement intertwined, like an invisible net, tightly entangling Lou Yuxiao's thoughts.
But the Su Shui in the distance, the headquarters of the Zhitonghui, which was secretly praised as the "ideal holy land", was like a burning flame, which made Lou Yuxiao throw himself into it without hesitation.
The wind whistled in his ears and his hair fluttered, it was the feeling of freedom. However, every step away from the barracks, guilt followed him like a shadow. But as the sky brightened, Lou Yuxiao left all of them behind. His heart yearning for his ideals drove him to keep moving forward.
He had no interest in his family's unique skills, had no ambition to become a general and lead troops in battle, and had no natural talent in martial arts.
He thought, he was just an ordinary person and had things he wanted to do.
The family wanted to relieve the pressure of only one successor, but he didn't seem to be able to bear it, so why not give it to his sister? What did it matter if it was a girl? His sister was much better than him.
He liked the elegant lyrics in the book, used the setting sun as his writing brush, longed to drink the wine, waited on a boat for the east wind to blow, and imagined seeing the immortals traveling thousands of miles a day and watching the stars and the sky glowing together.
However, the ups and downs of the court and the world were always far away from him. He accidentally opened the book "Opening the Eyes in the Ming Dynasty", which was called a "banned book" by Dayong. The heroic deeds of self-sacrifice for ideals in the book made his chest burn hot. His somewhat confused heart seemed to have some inexplicable signs.
This was the first time he came into contact with the things of the Zhitonghui - a banned book with a corner of it burned, their works.
The editor column reads "Many Leaders", and only the names of a few publicly known members of the like-minded association and the instructor are written casually - from the handwriting inside, it can be seen that this book is the result of many people's efforts, not just one person.
The content contained the handwriting of many people, but the language was all terrifying and pungent as if it were poisoned. Every word was like a pearl, and it exposed the truth of the world nakedly, awakening the ignorant and the stubborn, and enlightening the deaf and the dumb. Lou Yuxiao felt as if he had been hit on the head with a wake-up call. After reading only a few pages, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
He suddenly understood why Dayong had listed it as a banned book. The book completely peeled off the fig leaf of the imperial court and aristocratic families, and trampled on the faces of those hypocritical high-ranking officials without leaving any leeway. The words were filled with bewitching and inspiring power - wisdom, this book was to bring wisdom to the readers!
Lou Yuxiao looked at the page for a long time, and finally turned it over - he realized that there was nothing to see when he went out, and the plain was covered with bones. A liter of rice cost 300 coins, and a rat cost hundreds of coins. People ate algae, Chinese toon leaves, and Daojin, and their bones had no remaining teeth.
Only then did I understand that people nowadays, unaware of the sufferings of all living beings, only think about ascending to the top of the world, and foolishly seek fame and fortune.
Only then did I realize how many people are full of knowledge but also so naive.
He suddenly felt that something seemed different in his heart.
The last page of "Opening Eyes in the Ming Dynasty" has only one sentence.
"My heart is as solid as a rock. I am now throwing my insignificant body into the flames. I am so happy."
It was as if a fire was lit in his heart, burning hotter and hotter - his heart was beating violently, as if telling him: "I know what I am going to do."
He couldn't help but inquire more about the deeds of the like-minded associations, their slogans, their purposes, their thoughts... Everything about them impressed and attracted him.
It turns out that they have the right to pursue fairness, and they can also break the vanity of worldly power.
Therefore, he wanted to go to Su Shui. He wanted to see for himself what kind of people could write "Opening the Eyes in the Ming Dynasty".
Lou Yuxiao was afraid that his father would send cavalry to chase him, so he rode as fast as he could, not daring to stop for a moment. In order to keep things light, he only brought some spare clothes, money, and a sword for self-defense.
Looking at the road ahead, he suddenly felt very ambitious. He tightened his grip on the horse and sped up a bit.
"Su Shui! Here I come!"
(Lou Yuxiao is fifteen or sixteen years old, ahem, exactly the age of middle school.)
------------
The fierce wind blew up the snow particles, but the tent could not keep out the cold black armor.
The raging snow and wind covered the sky, the hazy stars were white, the barren hills stretched out to the edge, the thick clouds stopped people from walking, the strong wind could not push forward, rotten trees lay among the gravel, twisted branches and wild grass spread across the ground, the flying snow buried many broken bones, the pile of white bones was so eerie and terrifying that countless people were there.
The broken arrows on the battlefield were like firewood clusters, charring stumps, and the black smoke made people cry. Lin Yue silently drew back his knife from the enemy's belly. The knife was red, with thousands of fishy spots. He frowned and suddenly felt disgusted for no reason.
"How long will this war last?"
"Who knows? We are worthless anyway, so why would those big shots care?"
"We are so frustrated. We only fight against the grassland people when they come to us, and we always retreat and leave the city..."
"Be careful with your words. If General Yan or his men hear you, be careful to be punished with military sticks."
......
Several soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield were whispering.
"Deputy General Lin, do you want to go and remind them?" asked General Wang who was following him.
Lin Yue waved his hand: "They are not wrong. We always withdraw our troops and hand over the city to others."
General Wang vaguely heard the dissatisfaction with his superiors in his boss's tone and did not dare to respond for a moment.
(To awaken the ignorant and startle the stubborn: to shock and enlighten the ignorant and stupid people)
(To awaken the deaf and the dumb: to awaken confused and numb people with words and phrases, to make them sober up)
(There is nothing to see when you go out. The plain is covered with bones. A liter of rice costs 300 coins, and a rat costs several hundred coins. People eat algae, Chinese toon and locust leaves, and leeks. There are no teeth left on their bones.
When I went out, I could see nothing but bones covering the fields. A bushel of rice cost three hundred coins, and a mouse cost several hundred coins. People ate algae, Chinese toon leaves, locust leaves, wild violets, and even cannibalism. There was no flesh left on the bones.
(Will you feel bored with this kind of plot? The main reason is that these few chapters will be written from several perspectives. The protagonists will appear relatively later, and the Dayong camp will also be written. The main purpose is to quickly end the uprising in the mortal world and turn to the battle between immortals and demons.
The prince at that time, now the emperor Mu Yijun, will die a miserable death. I promised to write about the young deer, but it will be written later.)
