: Early summer in China

boom--
The rain was shining and the lightning crossed the gloomy sky.
In the early summer season, the mountains in the Hengliang Mountain area have been covered by heavy rain. The mountains and rivers between the terrain, the shrubs and the exposed earth and stone are all covered in the heavy rain.
It seems that a small group of people is slowly moving through the heavy rain on the mountainside.
This mountainous road near the main vein of Luliang is difficult, and many places cannot find a way. At this time, the team in the mountains consisted of about thirty or forty people. Most of them were carrying heavy burdens. They were all dressed in robes and heavy burdens. It seemed to be a business trip in the past.
The northwest is desolate and the people are full of winds. However, during the period of the Western Army’s detention, there are some roads to go. In order to raise food at the border, the court adopted the method of letting the border people send the grain to be sent to the army barracks every year. Therefore, it is convenient to travel around the northwest. However, the Xixia people have recovered and have broken the original species. The large cities guarded by the family have even had several massacres, and the external situation has become complicated.
Qin Youshi is the leader of this team. He was a merchant in northwestern Pingyang. He sold winter clothes to the security forces at the end of last year. By the way, he brought some valuables such as private salt, and prepared to go to the border to change some goods back. ; The Xixia people attacked Yanzhou and separated him from the road. Although the heavy snow began to seal the mountain, but the east was in chaos, and he could not walk. He was stranded in the nearby village for several months. The situation in the northwest was already a mess.
The war spread and continued to expand. Not long ago, Qin Youshi heard that the species of the marshals would come back and still lost to the Westerner’s kidnapper. The soldiers of the Western Army collapsed, and the Xixia people raged around. He met many people who fled after the break of the city. After inquiring for a while, they finally decided to venture east.
The Central Plains has been in a mess. It is said that the Jurchens broke the city of Liangliang and ravaged for several months. The capital city is no longer the same. The Xixia people pushed the Hengshan again, and this day will be a big change. Although most of the refugees began to flee south to the west. However, Qin Youshi and others are not good. Although Pingyang and Zhangzhou are in the east, the Xixia people have not yet survived.
Their family is still there.
The land of the four wars in the northwest, but since the West Army was strong, the place where they lived has been peaceful for many years. Nowadays, Xixia people come to know how to treat local people and escape. When you are a good person, you have to go back to reunite with your family.
The Xixia army broke the Qingzhou and other places. At this time, it has already begun to intimidate around, but after all, the northwest is not small. The Xixia people can't grasp all the sites now. When the snow melts away, they begin to flee their residences on a large scale. People are getting more and more. To the south, to the east and west to the north, Qin Youshi inquired about it. Many of the goods with the winter smashed and the folks of the Chamber of Commerce began to go east. At this time, there are many Xixia troops in the east. The group was dodging and slow. Later, when I wanted to enter the ordinary mountain, I took the risk of encountering two strange young people in front of the team.
Say it from scratch. In the northwest, the Western Army, especially the breeder Ze, was deeply involved, and the man in the northwest was very impressed with his grace. When the army was killed, the cities of Yanzhou and other places in Qingyan City had undergone fierce smothering and rebellion. Although it did not help in the end, even if the ruined soldiers were scattered, many loyalists were organized to fight with the Xixia army.
So come. This winter, there are also many rumors and stories of the righteous people in the refugees who fled. Who and who are on the way to escape with the sacrifice of Xixia step, who is unwilling to flee. With the city dying, or who has assembled hundreds of heroes, to confront the Xixia people. These rumors are either true or false, and one of them is quite strange.
It is said that after the Qing Dynasty city of Yanzhou was broken, the displaced people were scattered. The Xixia soldiers rushed and looted all the way. One of the troops broke out from the mountains and covered the refugees to escape. In the winter when the snow is snowing, they will even help some refugees who have no property in their homes and send some food for them to escape. In fact, whether it is a dispersal army or a Greenwood righteous, it is not surprising to do these things. The strange thing about this team is that they make two words.
After the team rescued people, it is said that they would tell people something messy. The probably meaning may be that everyone is a Chinese citizen and should be watching and helping. This sentence is just right, it is not a big deal, but after that, they often come up with a book, let people write the word "Huaxia", it will not matter, they will teach people to write these two word.
Imagine that after the city was broken, the army saved the refugees on the mountains where the snow accumulated, and then asked them to write two words on the snow with the branches - how strange this scene is. But the rumors in the world are like this, vague and unclear. In such an environment, there are many things that people say, and they are often not allowed. Qin Youshi faintly heard this story twice. After he was thrown into the mind of others, although he later heard some versions, such as this army is the rebel army of the Wu Dynasty, this army is the family of the family. Wait a minute, etc., basically too lazy to go deeper.
However, when they were about to enter the mountain, they inadvertently merged with a team of escapers. Two of them saw that they were inquiring about the road in the mountains. They found it and said that they could give them directions. Qin Youshi was not the first time to walk outside. He did not know how to confess and be guilty. However, during the conversation, the young man headed by the two actually asked: "Do you know literacy? Will you write Chinese characters?"
Qin Youshi immediately remembered the rumor.
At that time, the Xixia people were blocking the roads around them. Qin Shishi’s choice was not much after all. Although he did not agree on the verbal, after entering the mountain, the two sides still encountered reads. The people of Qin Youshi’s hands are also the men who walked in the northwest, mostly with weapons. He made everyone vigilant and contacted the other side several times before the two sides walked together.
For Qin Youshi, this is also a helpless gamble. If you want to go home, there will be no guides for a while, and you will not be able to turn a few months in this barren hill. He recalled those rumors, and felt that these two people were not like the strong people who led people into the mountains and then lost money. After some conversation, they knew that the other side had the background of Qingmu Village.
Luliang Qingmu Village is quite famous in the merchants in the northwest. But the young man headed by the two is like a foreigner. This person is named Zhuo Xiaofeng, and he has a big knife. He is also very talkative. Combining a few words, I recall some trivial rumors that I have heard. In Qin Youshi’s heart, he organized some clues.
In the past half of last year, there was an anti-thief. Although the troops are in trouble, the northwest has not been affected. But it seems that this army has entered the mountain. It seems that they came out in the winter and killed several times with the Xixia army and saved some people. Knowing this, Qin Youshi is more assured, and he has heard that the thief may still have some taboos. At this time, he is not afraid.
The two sides went all the way, the man of Qingmu Village as a guide. With the young man named Zhuo Xiaofeng walking in front, Qin Youshi followed the conversation. This is the most desolate section of the junction of Luliang Mountain and Hengshan. The mountain is rugged and has heavy rain. It is hard to walk. When a group of people walks to this wild ridge, Qin Youshi looks at the opposite side of the mountain. I saw that the mountain was not good, but it was like a small road passing through, which is much better than this.
Qin Youshi’s heart was alert. Looking over there, he tentatively asked: "There seems to be a path on the opposite side." The guide of Qingmu Village also calmly nodded: "Well, it was close to the other side." "Why then..."
"I have previously played with the Xixia people." Zhuo Xiaofeng here answered. I pointed my fingers at the front and back of the mountain road. "A few months ago, the Xixia step stalked and killed. The army blew up the two ends. The snow on the mountain collapsed. The square was full of dead bodies. Now the mountain is loose. Very unsafe."
Qin Youshi was shocked: "West Xia?"
"West Xia step, it is very difficult to deal with." Zhuo Xiao nodded. Qin Youshi looked at the sinuous mountain in the heavy rain. In the distance, there are indeed traces of new movements, and I look at the mountains. I saw that the water was roaring in the rain, but I couldn’t see more.
In this place. The Western Army and the Xixia people have battles from time to time. For the Xixia people's army, they also know a lot about the well-informed people. The iron scorpion is unparalleled in the sky, but in the mountains of the northwest, the most frightening thing is that the Xixia's steps are elite. These infantrymen have been selected from the mountains and the mountains are crossing the mountains. On the way to the refugees’ escape, they may encounter the iron scorpion, and perhaps they can hide in the mountains. If they encounter a step, they will not be able to run anywhere. Their combat power is similar to that of the original Western Army. At this time, the Western Army has dispersed, and the northwestern land has no one to control.
For the origin of the "Huaxia" army, Qin Youshi has already had suspicions, but he has not thought about it. At this time, I want to come. This army is rebellious and comes to the northwest. It is really not a good thing. In such a mountain against the Xixia step, even the upper hand. The other side said an understatement, but his heart was secretly horrified.
At this time, the thunder of the sky came, and everyone was moving forward, and heard the loud noise coming from the front, and the rocks shook. On the opposite side of the hillside, the earth and stone rushed in the heavy rain, turning into a mud dragon in the twinkling of an eye, rushing along the mountain. This earth and stone flow continued to rush into the deepness in front of their eyes. In the mountainous area, the running water collided with these earth and stone, and it quickly rose high. The muddy water surged and rushed. Everyone looked at the mountain. In the heavy rain, I only felt that the heavens and the earth were so powerful that they were too small to say.
The scene of the mudslide continued for a long time before their eyes, and the explosion that caused the avalanche a few months ago shook the slope, and it only slipped when the rain infiltrated. After everyone read it, it would be a bit more prudent to move forward again, and there would be a few less reads. The group of people swayed in the mountains, and it was the evening of the day, the rain stopped, but it has also entered the main vein of Luliang Mountain.
This film is already close to the scope of Qingmu Village in Luliang Mountain. Due to the pioneering trade route, it has not suffered much in the war. The road ahead is not difficult. Zhuo Xiaofeng and the man of Qingmu Village followed Qin Shishi’s resignation. Seeing that the two helped this, they simply left, and Qin Youshi panicked. He took two dried out from the accompanying goods. The deer legs should give the other party a reward, but see Zhuo Xiaofeng take out the pen and paper from his arms: "Does the boss of Qin write?"
"Zhugongzi is saying..."
"Huaxia people are a family. Today, the situation is turbulent. It is time to watch and help each other. I am waiting for the same path with Qin boss. It is also a fate. It is only a matter of effort. Of course, if the boss of Qin really feels that he needs to be rewarded, he will write two on this book. The word is." He saw Qin Youshi still hesitant, smiled and opened the book, all the words of the Chinese character, "Of course, just two words, do not have to leave a name, just do a thought. If you have any trouble, just remember these two words. If I can help, I will try my best."
Qin Youshi was only slightly hesitant. At this time, he laughed and picked up the pen and wrote it on the book. His heart was doubtful. This outside thing, Shi Nianbao’s charity is not expected to report, he can understand, but this is what it means. Affirmed by the grace, writing a name is a name, but the name is not left, the Chinese word is written and then the iron skeleton is bright and big, what can it be?
He is also a far-sighted person. After writing the two words, he still insisted on sending the deer's legs, but the other party is reluctant to accept it. At this time, the weather was late, and everyone looked for the camp. Qin Shishi was in love with the two, and cooked a relatively rich meal of meat. They asked Zhuo Xiaofeng about the situation after they asked.
He went west this time. It was for the sake of doing business. The Jurchens were killed. Some of the precious things that were originally collected were actually useless. This line of action is a loss. But the loss is not a big deal. The most important thing is how to go backwards. This army can compete with the Xixia people. Although the reputation is not very good, but a good relationship, who knows if there is any need for them to help in the future?
This half-night conversation, the other side is also knowing everything, and Qin Youshi analyzed the dilemma in the future. The Jurchen is rampant, and the West Xia is coming. This situation is not possible, but the ordinary people will not be killed. In the past, the Wu Dynasty was still rich, and the rich households still had some surplus food. However, within one to two years, the Jurchen Xixia people must consolidate this site, purely to eat, and to kill the dead. He is a merchant, you may wish to change a little, do more activities, and shelter in the big forces.
Similar to Luliangshan Qingmu Village, after all, in the mountains, do not recommend, but there are several trades between the eyes and the Jurchen. The precious items he brought back this time may not be useful in the chaotic land. Qingmu Village may still help to transfer, and the mountains will be short of food. If he has too much grain, he may wish to go to the mountains to change some weapons. . Of course, it is just a casual suggestion.
Qin Youshi is not a person who has no opinion. The other party said that he only makes reference in his heart. On the second morning of the second day, I would say goodbye to each other and split up. Qin Youshi looked at the figure that went north, and remembered the word "Huaxia" written yesterday. He only thought that this group of people was really strange.

After saying goodbye to Qin Youshi, Zhuo Xiaofeng and the Qingmu Zhaizi named Tan Rong walked back through the rugged mountain road. When they could see the mountain where the earth and stone collapsed, they turned to the northwest again.
At noon, they saw the outline of the Xiao Cang River far away on the ridge. The river was so hurried that it extended to the mountain pass with a dam mark at the head of the field of view. There was also a sentry tower on the side of the mountain pass. Between the rugged valleys, a small group of shadows can be seen together. It is a child who comes out from the small Canghe settlement.
The sun is shining from the white clouds in the sky. The mountains are desolate, and only occasionally the sound of the wind is heard. Zhuo Xiaofeng and Tan Rong walk along the mountain road. (To be continued.)
