See you in the world

Chapter 339 Only 'strong' up!
Leading clouds, cold wind, dead branches and white grass, and winter snow...

On the loess road, Yunjing stopped slightly and looked up at the sky, reaching out to catch a piece of white snow, his hands were cold.

Feeling the cold snow melting into water in the palm of his hand, Yun Jing pulled out the oiled paper umbrella hanging on the side of the bookcase with his backhand and opened it.

This umbrella finally came in handy.

"Brother Yun, are you unhappy?" Ye Tian asked curiously when he saw that Yunjing was suddenly in a low mood. He also held up an oilcloth umbrella when he was talking. His umbrella was so big that it opened like a dusty mushroom .

Shaking his head, Yun Jing said: "I can't say whether I'm happy or not, but I just think that when I was young, people would freeze to death in the snow village every year, so I can't get excited."

"Oh, actually, I don't like winter either. Whenever it snows, every family gathers around the fire, and I'm alone. I hate snow." Ye Tian suddenly fell into a low voice when he heard Yunjing say that.

At the side Liu Neng got a bamboo hat from somewhere, and murmured slightly: "Every year it snows and tears every year, every family hangs streamers and every family is sad. If the sky is empty for thousands of miles, how can a new grave be added overnight... ..."

Ye Tian was taken aback when he heard it, he didn't understand at all, he curled his lips and said, "I don't know why."

"You know what a fart", Liu Neng replied habitually.

Did Mr. Liu write impromptu poems out of emotion?
Regardless, Yun Jing doesn't have a talent for poetry, so he can't judge whether Master Liu's four sentences are good or bad, but his poems describe the human tragedy after the snow falls very well.

"Let's go, there is a small town in front of us. Let's stay there for one night today, and we will start our journey tomorrow. I hope there is still a way to go." Yunjing looked forward and walked forward.

Keeping up with the pace, Ye Tian said in amazement: "Brother Yun, it's not yet noon, you can continue on your way."

"I forgot to mention that there is a person I want to visit in that small town. Regardless of whether I can visit smoothly or not, today's time will probably be delayed."

"Then let's go quickly, don't delay Big Brother Yun's business..."

Wearing a bamboo hat, Liu Neng curled his lips. The old man has been with you for so many days and you don't ask me for advice, but you have to visit some guys who don't have much ink in their stomachs. You really don't know the real master.

Today, Yunjing is less than three hundred miles away from the real border battlefield. In fact, it can be said that he has come to the periphery of the war. to the enemy team.

War has never been a place where you can show that chariots and horses meet head-to-head, with roundabouts, assassinations, harassment, and so on, all kinds of methods are used...

The small town in front of them was not very big. Yunjing had known about it before. It was smaller than Niujiao Town in his hometown, but the town had a population of tens of thousands.

In this bitterly cold place in the north, there is a town with a population of tens of thousands, which can already be regarded as an important town, even bigger than some county towns.

In fact, that town is really an important town, leading to many places in the north, and it exists like a transportation hub, so it is naturally bigger than many county towns.

Before Yunjing and the others encountered many refugees, they all gathered here from many places in the north, and then went south.

The snowflakes fell in pieces, getting bigger and bigger, and the distance began to become hazy.

There were crowds of refugees on the road. They were shivering from the cold, dragged their families southward, and encountered winter snow. Many of them were desperate and cried to the sky for God's mercilessness.

Walking through the refugees going south, Yunjing and the three of them were like fish swimming against the current.

Looking at the cloud scene in front of him, and at the endless stream of refugees on the side, Liu Neng's eyes flickered. After staying for so many days, he suddenly felt the desire to leave.

In previous years, there was a truce at the border at this time, but now there are so many refugees going south, the situation at the border can be imagined.

Although he, Liu Neng, has lived for hundreds of years and is used to all kinds of things in the world, he is still a living person, a master respected by countless people in Dali. He goes to the front line, where he has more important responsibilities and obligations...

"But when you leave, you have to take that evil kid away. No matter what method you use, you have to kidnap him. It doesn't matter why, I don't want to waste such a talent..."

Thoughts flickered, Liu Neng secretly thought about it.

As we approached the small town, although the road could not be called a flood of refugees, it could be said that there was an endless stream.

If you can still live in your hometown, who will leave your hometown to seek a living in a distant place?
The town is called Sitong Town, so it is named after the land extending in all directions.

When they entered the town, Yunjing and the others didn't encounter any difficulties, and they were allowed to go through the normal inspection of household registration and guidance, but the inspection was stricter than other places.

Yes, Sitong Town has a city wall. After all, it is located in the north. The city wall is necessary because it must be ready to deal with the enemy's sneak attack at any time, and the gatekeepers are not policemen but soldiers. This place has been taken over by the army. It can be called an important military town!
The city wall is not high, only less than three meters. The loess and stones are tamped, and there are traces of repairs in many places, which are still fresh.

When he entered the town, he looked at the city wall for a while, and Yun Jing couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat. There were dark red blood stains in many places on the city wall, and there were even broken arrowheads stuck on it, and there were even traces of chopping with knives and axes.

Obviously, there has been a lot of fighting here, and it's not just a small fight in the rivers and lakes!
In this case, there is no other possibility except to fight against the enemy country.

Has the enemy country's small group of rebellious troops penetrated so far into Dali?

Entering the town, the streets are full of refugees with nowhere to rest their souls. They look helpless and face the cold winter. No one can guarantee whether they will wake up normally tomorrow.

There are occasional bonfires burning on the street, and there is a circle of people on the third and outer floors. Perhaps in this cruel winter day, only that bonfire can bring some comfort.

As he was walking, Yun Jing's heart suddenly trembled, his nose was sore and he almost shed tears.

He had seen with his own eyes what he had only heard about in legends.

On the side of the street, some adults looked at the passers-by with longing eyes. They put their hands in their sleeves and squatted on the side of the street, smiling expectantly.

And in front of these adults, there are some thin and small children, some of whom are still barefoot in winter, with shocking cracks on their feet.

What made Yunjing's heart tremble was the straw on the heads of these children!
That straw showed that the children were being sold on the street like cattle.

The most unbearable thing in the world is now "bloody" in front of Yun Jing. Maybe the people here are used to it, but this is the first time Yun Jing has encountered it. He doesn't know what words to use to describe himself worrying...

His fists were clenched.

Yun Jing is temporarily unable to help these people, he looks slightly to the north, the war must end as soon as possible!

"Xiaoyun, anger can't solve the problem, and sympathy can't solve the problem, because you are 'strong' enough, no matter what aspect, as long as you are 'strong' to a certain extent, then your light words at that time are better than what you are now Give everything," Liu Neng said calmly beside Yunjing.

At this moment, Liu Neng no longer wanted to show off around Yun Jing, but was really reminding him.

Nodding his head, Yun Jing said, "Your younger generation understands the principle of being successful and benefiting the world at the same time."

"Well, it's good to understand," Liu Neng said calmly, but he was also slowly chewing Yunjing's words of "benevolent and beneficial to the world" in his heart. Listen to the so-called "scholars".

Anyway, I don't know why, Ye Tian felt that the old man Liu Neng was less annoying than before.

Walking through the streets of the town for one or two ten minutes, Yunjing looked up and saw an inn on the street and said, "Just live here."

"Brother Yun, there are better inns over there, why do you want to stay here? I know you usually save money and don't like extravagance, just curious", Ye Tian couldn't help asking.

Smiling, Yun Jing said: "It's nothing, I just feel that the name of this inn is kind."

"What kind of visitor is that?" Ye Tian pursed his lips while looking at the inn and muttered. He still doesn't know many words, and he can't recognize the four words 'Yuelai Inn'.

Although it can be said that Sitong Town is overcrowded, the occupancy rate of the inn is not high. After all, most of the towns are refugees and have fled. Who has the money to spend money to stay in an inn?
After opening three rooms, putting down his luggage and settling down, Yun Jing left the inn alone, and took the greeting card to find the person he wanted to visit.

The person Yunjing is going to visit next is Ran Liang. This person is in his thirties, and he is well-known in the north. However, this person's fame does not come from his knowledge, but his reputation through fighting for justice.

According to Yunjing's understanding, Ran Liang used to be a county magistrate, but within two years of his tenure, he became jealous and went to suppress bandits alone many times, which resulted in the abandonment of the county magistrate.

After losing his official position, he seemed to be released from the shackles and went directly to the world. However, he is a real scholar, he can mix well in the world, and the circle of scholars is also very popular.

Yun Jing did not visit such a rebellious person to learn anything from him, but it would be good if he could discuss knowledge and martial arts with him.

The snow kept falling, and the sky and the earth were already white. Walking on the road with an umbrella, the footsteps were soon covered by snow.

When passing through an intersection, it was very lively, hundreds of refugees gathered there, crowded towards the center.

Seeing the situation in the center through the crowd, Yun Jing was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and continued walking towards Ran Liang's house.

In the crowd he saw an acquaintance.

Bai Zhi, who had been separated for many days, was actually in the crowd, distributing steamed buns and porridge to the refugees with a woman about her age, welcoming countless people to thank Dade.

It was supposed to say hello, but the other party was busy, so Yun Jing would not bother him for the time being.

Although the world is bitter, there are still moments of warmth occasionally.

In the bitter cold winter, there are countless refugees. Isn't the figure distributing steamed buns a beautiful landscape?
Ran Liang's house is on the edge of the town, a large courtyard.

When Yunjing came here, he found that the gate was closed, but the courtyard was quite lively...
