Lao Jinshan sighed and said: "We really don't have any food, so we want to stop the train and see if the passengers have anything to eat, money, let's get some to fill our stomachs!" ”

Lin Yuan heard Lao Jinshan's words, and instantly understood what he was doing, as soon as that little bandit opened his mouth, he was going to rob something to eat! But he also felt strange: "Lao Jinshan, they are bandits!" How could a bandit be without something to eat? So Lin Yuan asked, "You don't have anything to eat, so don't you usually have a grain of grain at home?" ”

Lao Jinshan shook his head painfully and said, "Our home was robbed by others!" ”

Although Lao Jinshan said with a sad face, Lin Yuan couldn't help it when he heard this, and laughed out loud and said, "You are bandits, only you are going to rob people!" Why did they rob you instead? ”

Lao Jinshan said helplessly: "There are many people in the family, there are guns, and there are cannons, you look at us again, sabers, spears, bows and arrows, the only firearm is the big smoking gun!" What do you say we are going to do with people? ”

Lin Yuan was about to ask, but he heard the little bandit at the beginning say on the side: "Lin Shuai, do you have anything to eat?" ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Bandits can actually do this!" It doesn't matter what others want to eat, are you called Hanako or bandits! Lin Yuan waved at the carriage and said, "Come out, your own people, take out a few boxes of compressed biscuits and send them a shot?" ”

The little bandit stared at the round eyes and asked, "Lin Shuai, are there only biscuits?" I want to eat roast lamb! Lin Yuan looked at the innocent appearance of the little bandit, and smiled again, who knew that the little bandit actually continued: "It's not cooked, it's okay to be raw, we can bake it ourselves!" As he spoke, he took out a small cloth bag from his arms and said with a smile: "This is the cumin I specially brought out, and it is fragrant when sprinkled on the mutton!" ”

At this time, Chen Fei and others had already moved out the compressed biscuits, and he heard the little bandit raise his hand and throw a bag of biscuits over, and scolded with a smile: "It's good to eat some!" Everyone laughed, the little bandit didn't care if he was ridiculed, he was about to tear open the bag after taking the biscuits, but Lin Yuan shouted: "Don't tear it yet!" ”

The little bandit looked at Lin Yuan with a stunned expression, Lin Yuan pointed at the corpse pile and said, "We are in the downwind direction of the corpse pile, and many bacteria will come over, so we can't eat it first." ”

Lao Jinshan asked, "Then what did Lin Shuai say?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "This is not the place to talk, let's go to the carriage first, go back to the camp, I have a lot of things to ask you." ”

Everyone then got on the carriage, and if the carriage couldn't fit in, they went to the railroad track laying car, and the war horse couldn't get on the car, so Lin Yuan asked people to follow behind with the war horse, and when they got on the car, Shen Wanqing said to Lin Yuan: "It's not okay to go back after coming out for a while, if you want to go farther, we need to get some transit bases!" But we need manpower to build a transit base, and we don't have manpower, so what should we do? ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Yang Changjun is now my subordinate, I will let Yang Changjun send people from the Governor's Mansion to establish a transit base along the railway." ”

Back in the car, Lin Yuan asked Lao Jinshan: "You said that your home was occupied, what's the matter?" ”

Lao Jinshan replied: "That's the case, at the end of March and the beginning of April, we heard that there was a civil uprising in Gansu, and it is not clear what is going on, and a few days later, there will be Qing troops passing by under our mountain, and those Qing troops are not the old soldiers of the green battalion, but the township regiment under Yang Changjun is practicing bravery, and the leading officer also fought with the twist back then!" ”

"Those soldiers are all foreign-made fast guns, and a few cannons, there are a lot of people, from under our noses, three days to finish, and then we learned that the past is the three township regiments to practice bravery, at that time we thought that the villagers who made trouble were finished, but after a few days, there was a rebellion of the three township regiments, and the news that Lanzhou Mansion was captured!"

"At that time, we were surprised that the villagers in this incident had such a great ability, and they actually pulled three elite Lian Yong over, and also knocked down Lanzhou Mansion! Later, we heard that the three branches of Lian Yong had an internal strife, today you beat me, tomorrow I will beat you, plus the peasants who started the incident, in Gansu made a person turn on their backs! ”

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "It seems that the situation in Gansu is still very complicated!" ”

Lao Jinshan said: "Of course it's complicated! Although we are illiterate and can't read, we like to listen to books, and after the peasant rebellion, most of them were fought between the government and the peasants, but now the situation in Shaanxi and Gansu is much more complicated than in the past. ”

Lin Yuan remembered the matter of the Hui people, so he said: "Is there a conflict between the Hui and Han people?" ”

Lao Jinshan nodded and said: "It can't be said that it is a conflict between Hui and Han, but a conflict between Hui and the government. But the government is different, and they don't look down on the Hui everywhere, so let's say that this brawl hurts people, if the Han people hurt the Hui people, the government will protect the Han people more; If the Hui hurt the Han people, the government will punish the Hui people severely! If it weren't for this, Xinyuan County would not have had an accident this time! ”

Lin Yuan asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”

Lao Jinshan said: "I also heard that this time there is a locust plague in three counties, what can be done from Xinyuan County?" Because most of the people living in Xinyuan County are Hui people, this disaster relief, Gansu Buzheng made a bowl of water uneven, and the disaster relief food in Xinyuan County is less than half of that in Beishan County and Yuanwu County! Of course, the Muslims made a fuss! ”

"Zhang Ningwei, the political envoy of Gansu, thought that the Hui people were deliberately causing chaos, and sent troops to kill them, and it is said that many people were killed, but the Hui people in the surrounding counties did not do it, so they cooperated to kill the political envoy of Gansu!"

Lin Yuan asked, "But there are few Hui people, how can they make such a big move?" ”

Lao Jinshan said with a smile: "It's not only the Hui people who are bullied, but the Han people are also bullied by the government!" Whether it is the imperial court allocating disaster relief funds or transferring disaster relief food, how many hands do you have to go from the top to the bottom? How many times have geese plucked their feathers! So there is not much food in Beishan County and Yuanwu County! When they saw that the Hui people had killed the political envoy of Gansu, they also started an incident and went all the way east under the banner of 'Juntian free grain'! ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Juntian is free of grain, and almost every peasant uprising in Chinese history will not leave this theme!" Lao Jinshan continued: "The people of Shaanxi and Gansu have always been poor, and the government bullied people too much, so everyone rebelled!" The team in this incident is snowballing bigger and bigger! ”

Lin Yuan nodded and asked, "Then who snatched your cottage?" ”

Lao Jinshan shook his head helplessly, and said: "It's a force of practice, they have four or five hundred people, fighting our cottage, we fought a bloody battle with them, and as a result, there are only so many more than 100 brothers left, and we don't know where to go, so we run to the east, isn't this passing by this village?" Only then did we find out that the people in the village didn't know who had killed the road, so we thought about guarding the railway, intercepting the train, and thinking that we could get some food. ”

"We knew that if we wanted to intercept the train, we had to stop the train first, and we wanted to dismantle the railway, but we didn't have the tools to disassemble it at all, so we thought about piling things on the tracks to stop the train."

Lin Yuan asked, "But aren't there pigs and sheep in the pile of corpses?" Why don't you eat it? ”
