Chapter 30 Redemption(1/2)

It was late at night, and the people who shouted like tsunamis were roaring and shouting reluctantly until they were exhausted.

Chen Wen and Sun Yu walked together on the way back to the Sun family. The two of them had a tacit understanding and said nothing. Until they entered the house, Sun Yu bombed his younger brother who was pretending to be studying to the north room, and then they were about to say something to Chen Wen.

Chen Wen began laying the foundation work as always. This order is definitely the four words "just" for him. Since he just graduated and worked as a promotional agent, he believed that instead of telling others what his products were like, he would try to make others believe that the results would be better.

After these days of brainwashing, Chen Wen believed that Sun Yu would not be too disgusted with going to Fujian. However, before he could finish his preparation, Sun Yu's words completely disrupted his thinking.

"Brother Chen, I heard everything you said to Li Ruixin yesterday, and it's just a word."

Chen Wen looked at Sun Yu's expression, which was not like a fake, which made him breathe a sigh of relief. Based on yesterday's experience, since Li Ruixin was able to be convinced, Sun Yu, who had been with him for so long and had worked countless times, should be more likely to be convinced.

Maybe he was ready to go to Fujian with him, but Chen Wen couldn't help but feel complacent when he thought of this. He was ready to listen to Sun Yu's loyalty.

"I had already reported these words to Wang Jingluo and Wang Deputy Xian this morning. The two Shangguans admired Brother Chen's talent very much."

As soon as this statement came out, Chen Wen was like falling into an ice cellar.

In ancient China, the blessing of Mr. Kong's literacy rate was always much higher than that in other regions. Even after the Industrial Revolution, Britain was once crushed by China in terms of literacy rate. However, the peak period of ancient China, which was no more than 30% literacy rate, was still like a slag.

In modern times, if a person does not know how to read, he will be ridiculed as illiterate by others, but in ancient times, it was normal for a person not knowing how to read. In this era, if a person knows how to read, he will be respected as a scholar in the envious eyes of others.

Because of this, from the plan to go to Dalanshan to exchange intelligence for money, Chen Wen knew that if he didn't want to be dispossed by a few taels or dozens of taels of silver, or if he didn't want to be severely tortured, the role he wanted to play must be a scholar.

But things have always been two sides.

In the current situation where the Qing Dynasty occupied 80 to 10 China, most Han scholars either chose to live in seclusion or chose to participate in the imperial examinations of the Qing Dynasty. Scholars like Chen Wen who are still willing to serve the Ming Dynasty are so commendable.

Chen Wen felt that if he was Wang Yi from the perspective of others, he would try to recruit such a talent, even if he, a scholar, could not get the imperial examination at all.

As the saying goes, the three armies can seize the commander, but ordinary men cannot seize the aspirations.

Chen Wen believed that Wang Yi and Wang Jiang could be called gentleman. Even Feng Jingdi, whom he had never been to meet before, did not think that he would be a despicable villain, because the book recorded their deeds, which gave him this feeling.

Therefore, when he first touched Wang Yi, he did not hide his intention to go to Fujian. After all, he felt that besides being an official of Canny Ming, Wang Yi was also a scholar who believed in the teachings of saints. Emotionally, he should be able to understand the mentality Chen Wen was trying to show, so as to realize his plan to stay away from dangerous places before the Qing army encirclement and suppression.

However, all of this must be when Chen Wen did not show any strong abilities.

Chen Wen knew very well that if he had not shown any ability, Wang Yi's personality would have given him some money to allow him to go to Fujian because he had no knowledge of his information. But now after Sun Yu did this, Wang Yi and Wang Jiang would definitely pay attention to his talents because he knew very well what he said that night.

In Chen Wen's eyes, his behavior was like a young man with a talented but influential nature. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, he was in the packed conference room of the Military Intelligence Bureau and shouted that I wanted to vote for something, and Facebook's ending!

Sun Yu, you are harming me!

"Brother Chen, I know that I am very despicable to report you to others without your consent. I also know that with your talent, it is not difficult to stand out even in the Zhongxiaobo army. Although your plan is incredible, you will definitely have a chance to succeed if you are there."

Speaking of this, Sun Yu said to Chen Wen in an extremely sincere tone: "Even so, I still hope you can stay. Fujian already has heroes like Zhong Xiaobo, and Zhejiang has always been a place for good soldiers. Isn't your talent here going to be more effective than going to Fujian?"

Sun Yu's words did not play any role in Chen Wen. He forced himself to suppress the fear and anger in his heart and asked in a low voice: "Brother Sun, how much have you said to Wang Jinglei and the others? Please answer me truthfully."

After learning that Sun Yu only mentioned the theory of temple calculation and military constraint between Wang Yi and Jiang, Chen Wen's anger began to gradually dissipate.

Although for Chen Wen, the joke about hiring a wife was just a lie made up for tightening the distance, Sun Yu obviously believed that this was Chen Wen's privacy, so he did not tell his two Shangguans truthfully.

Although Sun Yu did not explain this, Chen Wen was able to believe him through his understanding of each other.

Since he came to the Sun family, Chen Wen knew what Wang Yi and Wang Jiang meant. Sun Yu had to pay the price every day. If you talk about surveillance, it would be too much of a joke to rely on his wife and younger brother. Therefore, he felt that Wang Yi and the others must hope that Sun Yu could influence him.

After this period of time, Sun Yu's own ethics and understanding of Dalan Mountain gradually deepened, which indeed changed Chen Wen's impression of the Ming army in Zhejiang that Wang Yi personally led.

But can just change the impression be a reason enough to support him to stay?

Chen Wen took a deep breath and said to Sun Yu without any doubt: "Brother Sun, since that's the case, I will tell you why I came to Dalan Mountain..."

Then, Chen Wen told Sun Yu truthfully the invasion plan of the Qing army, and told him without any concealment about the results of Wu Dengke and others' recruitment and his attempts to recruit Sun Yu. Looking at Sun Yu's shocked expression, he knew that Wang Yi and Wang Jiang would not tell anyone about this, even Sun Yu who came to contact him, would be the same.

"When I left my hometown, I had already decided to go to Fujian to join the army. If I hadn't received the news when I was passing through Nanjing, I wouldn't have come to Dalan Mountain. Brother Sun, let's go with me. In more than a month, this is the hell on earth. If I stay here, I will definitely die."

Seeing Sun Yu, whose brain was hit by a large amount of data, Chen Wen said bluntly: "Be patient for a while, take a step back and the sky is wide open. Let's go, only when you are alive will you have a chance to take revenge."

The revenge of revenge woke Sun Yu up again, but he did not think about it for a moment, and then agreed immediately, but instead became more intense.

Sun Yu stood up, supported the table with both hands, and asked Chen Wen: "Brother Chen, even if we leave with you, we can avoid the Tartars' military attack. Then, tell me what the people here do, can they just wait for death?"

Then what are you going to let me do?

Hearing Sun Yu's words, Chen Wen was furious.

When he first made that plan, he did not fail to consider whether he could rewrite this history by relying on his own efforts, but the answer he got after thinking about it was no.

During the Qing army's encirclement and suppression of Siming Mountain in history, the local Ming army caused extremely limited damage to the Qing army, and many of them chose to surrender to the Qing army. Because of this, he did not feel that he had the need or ability to bring these pig teammates to brush this epic dungeon.

Why do you know that you can't do it?

Chen Wen was still sitting there, and said to Sun Yu with a blank expression: "You should ask Wang Jingluo this! I had already notified him and Wang Deputy Xian for half a month ago and urged him to both of them. Brother Sun, do you think I, a naked outsider, can you do anything else?"

Looking at Sun Yu who was speechless, Chen Wen then asked, "Since things cannot be done, I can only save those who are willing to trust me. Brother Sun, if you can trust me, then go with me. Only by leaving your life can you seek justice for the living and hate the dead."

And this last sentence was what Chen Wen always comforted himself.

In Chen Wen's eagerly anticipated gaze, Sun Yu thought for a moment, and finally shook his head. "Brother Chen, thank you for your kindness. It is said that it is the salary of the people and ask for your life. Although this is not my hometown, if the Tartars want to poison the people here, I will stop them even if I try my best to do anything!"

Eat the people's salaries and ask for their orders.

Chen Wen never suspected that Sun Yu would be quarrel about this matter, but in his opinion, such a person should have a bigger stage, rather than dying here in obscurity, so even though he knew that Sun Yu had made up his mind, he still decided to struggle for a while.

"Have you never thought about your wife and younger brothers? Have you never thought about those fellow countrymen who came with you? Their lives are not lives? If you die here, how can you avenge your parents, your children who have been born before you are born, and the Supervisor Zhu Dadian who once trusted you?"

Sun Yu took a deep breath and said to Chen Wen: "I have already thought about it. Before the Tartars encirclement and suppression, I will ask Brother Wu to take someone to escort Neizi and Son back to his hometown, and leave a book to ask them to go to Xiamen to join Brother Chen. As for those deep blood hatreds..."

Speaking of this, Sun Yu walked up to Chen Wen, knelt down on the ground, and hit the ground heavily. "I hope that Brother Chen will remember to uphold justice for me and the people who have been killed by the Tartars over the years!"

Listening to Sun Yu's words as if he was explaining his funeral, Chen Wen suddenly felt inexplicably sad and self-blame. He quickly helped Sun Yu up, but no longer knew what to say.

After Sun Yu got up, he bowed and left the west room, leaving Chen Wen alone at the table.

……………………

It was already late at night, the lights in the north room had already gone out, and Sun Yu's younger brother did not return to the west room. Chen Wen knew very well that Sun Yu was giving him a chance to leave.

Chen Wen put out the oil lamp in the room, placed the book he had just written on the table, and pressed it with the oil lamp. Then he put on his back with clothes, silver and mobile phone bags, and left the Sun family. As for the manuscripts, they were kept, as a souvenir.

Walking on the way to the town to the south to find Li Ruixin and go south together, Chen Wen was still shrouded in the sadness brought by Sun Yu's last words. Soon, he arrived at the threshing ground in the south of the village, the speech venue that was crowded a few hours ago.

Even though he knew that time was precious, Chen Wen chose to sit on the stone mill platform in the threshing farm for a short time. Because he knew that he might not come back for more than ten years, or he might never have the chance to come back for a visit in his life. This was his first time enjoying the cheers of everyone.

Sitting on the platform, touching the cold stone mill, the experiences over the days seem to be vivid in my mind...

In the dilapidated temple next to the official road, a man leaned against the wall, gnawing on the dry food stuffed with teeth, and was dreaming of spring and autumn.

Before entering the mountain, he relied on the Ba Method of Yong to play a guest appearance as a teacher once, and used a power bank as a paperweight for a day to exchange for dry food.

On the way to Dalan Mountain, he was held hostage by the guerrilla general and then escaped with the mobile phone in his bag.

When he arrived at the old camp, he was attacked by the rushing attack by the archway gate.

When the old nutrition was injured, the old doctor Lu and his grandson depended on each other and loved each other.

When he was at the Sun family, Sun Yu's ice face, Yi's nerve knife cooking skills, and Sun Yu's young brother's homework every day.

There are also people who cheered and cheered in ancient times.

There are also village chiefs who always bring crabs every now and then.

There is also the storyteller who secretly brought firewood to the threshing ground every day to steal the skills.

And..., too many.

They shouldn't just die here. They all have their own family, love, and friendship. They all have dreams of big or small. They are also willing to fight for their families and dreams, and to change their living conditions and social status. They are all living people, not one cold number after another.

Although Chen Wen also had the idea of ​​Sun Yu's food and pleading for the people, after years of patriotism education, he firmly believed in one truth, that is, if the invaders want to take away what belongs to us, they have to exchange their lives for it!

Just like the song "Guerrilla Song" once sung:

We grow here,

Every inch of land is our own,

No matter who wants to take it away,

Let's fight him to the end!

That's it. Even if you are unable to compete, you must save these people's lives. In this way, they will always have a chance to regain everything that belongs to them.

At this moment, Chen Wen, who had received years of materialist atheism education, looked up at the starry sky and stared at the sixth of the Big Dipper, as if he was muttering the lyrics at the Wuqu Star Lord of Kaiyang Palace represented by the star.

"Qi Shaobao, this is the land you once protected. I, Chen Wen, am determined to be a hero like you. Please bless me to save the people here, and then drive away the barbarians, clear the Huyan in the country, and rebuild China!"

The next second, in Chen Wen's eyes, the sixth star of Beidou seemed to have really flashed, as if responding to his request.

……………………

That night, although Sun Yu was exhausted both physically and mentally, he could not sleep.

Even so, he still got up from the bed as usual. After putting on his clothes, he walked out of the north room and pushed open the door that was not locked that night in the west room.

Touching the cold bed and reading Chen Wen's Shu Shu, Sun Yu took a deep breath, as if he wanted to suppress some emotions he shouldn't have. Then, he had returned to his cold appearance as before, stuffed Shu Shu Shu into his arms and walked to the kitchen opposite.

In the kitchen, Sun Yu took out the "living expenses" that Wang Jiang had allocated to Chen Wen two days ago. Under the surprised gaze of Sun Ming, who was sleepy, he put it back on the donkey's back.

In his opinion, this was given to Chen Wen by Wang Jiang. Since Chen Wen had left, these things should still be returned to the public.

After having breakfast in a hurry, Sun Yu pushed open the yard door and lowered his head and was about to take the donkey out.

Only when he heard him, Sun Ming shouted loudly: "Brother Chen, why are you sitting outside with a bag on your back?"
