Chapter 32: The World Is in Turmoil

Updated: 2013-11-11

I don't know how long it took, Deng Yun came back to his senses first, only to feel numb and numb, a feeling of electric shock, his face turned red, and he secretly wondered what was wrong, and then beat his spirit and walked to Hongying's side. Hongying's heart was also a deer, and she hurriedly turned her head, carried Deng Yun on her back, played with her fingers, and listened to the footsteps that were getting closer and closer, her heart was beating faster and faster, and she didn't know what to do.

"You're here."

The familiar voice suddenly remembered, Hongying pursed her red lips, and felt that someone was sitting down next to her, remembering today's grievances, she deliberately straightened her face, and said angrily: "Where am I, what does it have to do with you?" ”

Deng Yun smiled slightly, looked into the distance, and said in a low voice: "Every time you feel uncomfortable, you will be here." The brothers of Daxingshan all thought that I was extremely smart, but in fact I was not. A lot of things, I'm clumsy. If I offend you somewhere, don't blame me. ”

"Enemies. Why don't you know my heart? Where am I willing to blame you? Deng Yun's gentleness made Hongying's eyes unmistakable, and she silently secretly paid in her heart, and her tone was much looser, and she asked softly, "Do you think I hate it?" ”

Hongying's question made Deng Yun couldn't help but look stunned, and suddenly remembered the scene just now, and hurriedly replied, "Of course not." Not only are you skilled, but also smart and hardworking, and you are very good at treating your brothers in the mountains, and everyone treats you as a good brother! ”

Deng Yun's answer made Hongying's heart even more confused, Hongying was already anxious, and suddenly turned her head, the pair of starry eyes looked at Deng Yun tightly, and interrupted his words: "No! Don't think of me as a man, I'm a woman. ”

Maybe Hongying was too serious and nervous, and she didn't realize that she was getting closer and closer. Smelling the faint fragrance coming from the red tassel, Deng Yun's heart became more and more flustered, but he couldn't help but say the truth.

"As a woman, although you are arrogant and strong, sometimes you will be vexatious. But you are beautiful and generous, diligent and serious, kind and heroic, which is what I have ever had... I have ever seen the most beautiful and haode woman. ”

"Really!?"

When Hongying heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, her heart was anxious, and she rubbed it again, and the faces of the two were between half a foot, and they almost felt each other's breathing. When the two of them found out, they immediately seemed to freeze. Suddenly, Hongying reacted, like a frightened wild cat, exclaimed, and pushed Deng Yun away, Deng Yun was unguarded, and fell back suddenly, but fortunately he reacted in time, supported with his right hand, and bounced up with his strength, otherwise he would fall off the cliff and fall to pieces. Hongying was also in a state of confusion, seeing that Deng Yun stabilized his figure, he was ashamed and panicked, and hurriedly said, I want to go back, so he jumped up, cast the body method taught by Deng Yun 'Cloud Ladder Vertical', and flew away.

"Where did I offend her? No wonder it is often said that a woman's heart is a needle, no matter what era it is, women are elusive. Looking at Hongying's rapid departure, Deng Yun looked at a loss again, scratching his head and muttering.

Since that day's conversation, Hongying has been in a good mood every day, and in front of Deng Yun, she is also as tame as a sheep. This frightened Li Jin and the brothers of the Zhongyi Society again, and Li Jin even secretly sighed that Deng Yun was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and he had the skill to treat 'women'.

And as the number of unreasonable troubles of Hongying is getting less and less, Deng Yun's life is becoming more and more comfortable. After all, in the entire Daxing Mountain, except for the red tassel, no one will make trouble for him. First, both groups of people respected Deng Yun, although at the beginning, a small number of people disliked Deng Yun for being young and difficult to take on a big responsibility. But as Deng Yun took care of the affairs of Daxing Mountain in an orderly manner, the leaders of the two groups of people learned their skills from Deng Yun, and in addition to admiration, they would cooperate more, and that small group of people gradually changed their views. Moreover, Deng Yun's martial arts are superb, he had defeated Niu Gao earlier, and even shot Bai Gu, naturally no one dared to provoke, and Deng Yun Lixian was a corporal, fair and strict, and as time went by, the two groups of people gradually became accustomed to obeying Deng Yun and treating him as their master.

These days, Daxingshan is quite peaceful, but throughout the world, the situation is becoming more and more tense. The Zhao dynasty seems to have come to an end, due to the six thieves in power, taxes have been repeatedly increased, and the people everywhere have complained and the people are not happy. In order to satisfy the greed of the six thieves, the prefectures and counties withheld the fields and forcibly requisitioned the people, and the people were miserable, and life was worse than death. I heard that even the villagers outside Kaifeng City are mostly cut off from cooking smoke, and their families have no food for overnight stays, and the same is true of the imperial capital, let alone other places. At the beginning of the lunar month of this year, there were several heavy snowfalls. The people are hungry and cold, how can they say all the miserable words!?

At such a time, Zhao Ji did not hesitate to spend a huge amount of money to hold the annual night lantern very solemnly. This extravagant festival of the Imperial Garden lanterns has been prepared since September and October of the first year, and the lanterns have been put out before Chinese New Year's Eve. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival begins. In fact, people of insight in the world understand that Zhao Ji is like this, but he just wants to cover up the fact that the country is weakening day and night.

Zhao Ji also has six thieves, who want to use prosperity that is absolutely contrary to the facts to tell the people of the world, such as peace today, and peace and security for the country and the people. At the same time, I also want to tell the people of Jinbang Liao that the Song family has not been lonely in the world, and it is still as strong as ever. It's just that this move makes them more ignorant, cruel and crazy. Not to mention that the Liao people of Jinbang don't believe it, even the people of the Song State understand that this is a cover for the dying court of the Song Dynasty.

The people were already unclothed, hungry, and difficult to make a living, but they were oppressed by the officials and the court. As soon as the disaster came, the imperial court not only did not allocate funds for disaster relief, but instead made a lot of extravagance for the ignorance and face of Zhao Ji. Public grievances are accumulating deeper and deeper.

Some people heard that on the fifteenth day, there were thousands of lights in Bianjing City, and sheng songs were everywhere. Inside and outside the royal family, the torch candle sky, the orchestra is all around, the lanterns are ten thousand lights, bright as the stars, illuminating the end of the door as bright as day, showing luxury, but I don't know how many people are paved with people's fat and ointment.

Whenever a court collapses, the most miserable people are the people. Fortunately, Deng Yun, Niu, Huang, Liang and others had already discussed setting up a 'righteous stack' in the area of Daxing Mountain, and this matter had been done since Deng Yun took over Daxing Mountain. On this day, Li Jin hurried over, saying that a large number of refugees had fled from the local area, and most of those refugees were unclothed, with vegetables on their faces, and there were many wounded and sick people. What's more, at this time, the cold winter is over, the weather is cold, the land is freezing, there is a food shortage in various places, the people in the countryside are miserable, and the officials of the state capitals and counties are all greedy for life and afraid of death, and they are timid and afraid of things. At first, these refugees were relatively small in number, but because they were often oppressed and humiliated by the officers and soldiers, and because people fleeing the famine were everywhere, they gathered more and more like locusts. Although the government and the army are afraid of drastic changes, although they dare not bully too much, the more difficult it is for the refugees to beg for food, and the severe cold and hardship they endure are unbearable, and I heard that there are corpses and bones everywhere. In recent days, I have heard that a few people have taken the lead, and as soon as they ascended to the heights, they formed a gang to fight against the rich people of the government, asking for food everywhere, and if they did not give it, they would make trouble, and they would not give up. So the young and strong ones all joined into a gang, and instead of becoming the sworn enemies of the officials and the army, they became robbers in the eyes of those rich people. The most pitiful are the old and weak women and children, who have endured the severe cold, and have been displaced halfway for many times, and there is no place to bury them.

Deng Yun listened, couldn't help but be excited and indignant, only to feel full of anger, nowhere to go, first suppressed the anger, and Li Jin said: "These refugees are forced to helpless, if there is a place to live, there will be no trouble, I discussed with you before, these refugees will be placed in Daxing Mountain first, fortunately this place is wide, and your brothers are willing to work hard, Yizhan can be prepared for seven or eight, and it is not a problem to accommodate 10,000 people." Now that things are not getting bigger, do you think, can we start opening up the righteous stack? ”

When Hongying heard this, her expression was shocked, with a little eagerness in her eyes, and she said, "The sooner this happens, the better." If Brother Yun has any orders, I will do it immediately. ”

Zheng Ming and Li Jin glanced at each other and nodded their heads, all of them should be the same. Zheng Ming then opened his mouth and said: "Although we have purchased a lot of grain earlier, there is still a lot of grain in the two villages in the mountains. But once the Yitan is opened, refugees from all over the country will inevitably flock to it when they hear about it. On weekdays, I also have some friendships with several wealthy people in the nearby villages. I thought it would be better for us to take the lead and then invite these rich people to do this good deed. ”

When Deng Yun heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Brother, this proposal is good, then please leave quickly." ”

"I also have a few acquaintances who are in charge, they are all loyal and righteous people, and they also have a lot of property in the family, and they are willing to go down the mountain with Brother Zheng to match this matter together."

Li Jin took a step forward and arched his hand.

"This good deed is not afraid of many people, but afraid that others will not want to. After all, the door of goodness is hard to open. It would be much easier if we could gather some people first and then convince other rich people. The matter of the righteous stack will be handled by me and Hongying. The two brothers don't have to worry. ”

Li and Zheng heard this, bowed, and left quickly. Deng Yun then discussed the details with Hongying, and taught the brothers on the mountain to step up the construction of more 'righteous stacks' in case of emergency. At the same time, he ordered a group of brothers to go to the nearby area to gather the refugees. Another group of brothers prepared cauldrons, coarse grains, and bowls, and when the refugees arrived, they began to boil porridge and put it away.

At noon, as soon as the news of the opening of the Yitan in Daxing Mountain came out, nearby refugees immediately rushed to it. Deng Yun and Hongying led the brothers down the mountain to maintain order, and these refugees were hungry and cold, and many of them were impatient to wait, eager to rush up the mountain. Fortunately, Deng Yun arrived in time, persuaded him, and ensured that there was enough food on the mountain. These refugees, who have been bullied and oppressed, are already chilled, but when they saw Deng Yun and others treating each other politely, they had already heard that these righteous bandits in Daxingshan were loyal and righteous, and they were willing to obey the arrangement. Deng Yun first taught Hongying to gather the old and weak women and children together, arrange them to the nearest Yizhan, and then divide his brothers into a team of ten people, and then divide the refugees into batches and go up the mountain in an orderly manner. Before leaving, Deng Yun instructed everyone, there are many righteous stacks in this mountain, and they must be enough to distribute, if they don't listen to discipline and leave the team without permission, three times as an example, but if there is exceedance, then they can only go down the mountain, and they will not be accommodated.

Although Deng Yun is small, he has an extraordinary bearing, and those refugees and righteous bandits have great respect for him, and they all promise to make a mistake. Most of these refugees are poor and kind-hearted, and if they are not desperate, they will never cause trouble. Of course, there are also many bandits nearby, who heard that Daxing Mountain opened a righteous stack and wanted to fish in troubled waters, these people have bad intentions and will inevitably do evil.
