The Red Chamber begins with a bastard

Chapter 295 The vicissitudes of life
Jia Huan smiled mysteriously and said, "I can't tell you this."

Mandarin was a little disappointed and said: "Why?"

Jia Huan shrugged: "Everyone has their own secrets, and so do you, right? When you are willing to share the secrets hidden in your heart with me, I will consider telling you." After that, he turned around and left. go.

Mandarin held her shield and followed uneasily, thinking to herself: "Did this guy see it? He is so smart... No, he is so cunning, he must have seen it. What if he forces me to make a weapon for him?" ? Absolutely, if he forces me to do this, I will run away, I don’t want to be a tool making a killing machine... Oh!"

Mandarin was distracted, but Jia Huan in front of her suddenly stopped. Mandarin was unable to stop her momentum, and she suddenly hit Mandarin. Strictly speaking, it was the back of Jia Huan's head that hit Mandarin's arms. For now, there is still a bit of a gap in height between the two.

Mandarin couldn't help but flushed, took a step back, and said slightly annoyed: "Why did you stop suddenly?"

"I didn't say you were unconscious yet!" Jia Huan said angrily, and subconsciously touched the back of his head. The soft and plump touch just now was so touching that it actually gave him the urge to do it again.

Seeing someone showing an unsatisfied expression, Mandarin's pretty face turned even redder, and she instinctively raised the shield to cover her chest.

Jia Huan couldn't help but sweat secretly. He coughed slightly to resolve the embarrassment and said: "Oh, I just suddenly woke up from something, and suddenly I forgot about it. I'll talk about it later when I think about it." After that, he turned around and continued moving forward.

Mandarin followed behind sullenly, her shield still raised in front of her chest vigilantly, probably because she suspected that someone just deliberately ate her own tofu.

The Western armed merchant ship slowly sailed into the dock of Chongmingsha. Feng Ziying and Zuo Dashou had already led a group of brothers who had landed on the island to wait in line. They all held their heads high and were extremely proud. After all, they conquered this island. , is their record and their supreme glory!

"See Mr. Huan!"

"See Mr. Huan!"

As soon as Jia Huan got off the boat, all the soldiers knelt down and saluted uniformly, their eyes full of admiration and respect, because the victory and glory they had achieved was brought by this gentle young man in front of them.

Admiration for strength is a common human psychology. Age has never been a problem. A truly capable person, regardless of age, will always win the heartfelt respect of others.

Just like the famous general Huo Qubing, he fought countless battles in his life and made outstanding achievements. However, few people know that this fierce man who left a strong mark in the history books was actually only eighteen years old when he debuted. He became a marquis after one battle and was only twenty until his death. He was only four years old, but in his short life, he burst out with incomparable brilliance, swallowing the stone and sealing the wolf to stay in Xu, becoming a legend of a generation and an idol admired by thousands of people. Therefore, age has never been a problem. The problem depends on whether you have extraordinary abilities. There is no doubt that Jia Huan has won the recognition of the officers and soldiers of the three armies with his own strength.

Jia Huan waved his hand in greeting and said loudly: "Brothers, please stand up. Well done. You are all my good sons and daughters of the Jin Dynasty, invincible warriors, and you will be victorious!"

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!" All the soldiers shouted Wan Sheng three times, and their voices reached the sky. Everyone's blood was boiling and their morale was high.

Jia Huan loudly said: "Let me tell you another piece of good news. The boat of the thief Kang Dayong has been sunk and he has now escaped to the land. I believe that this thief will be captured and killed soon, and Dulong Island will be uprooted in one fell swoop. Fulfill Mr. Lin’s oath that day.”

As soon as these words came out, all the soldiers shouted for victory again.

Jia Huan made a silence gesture and waited until the surroundings calmed down before continuing: "I keep my word. As long as Chongming Sand is captured, all the warriors who participated in the landing on the island last night will be rewarded with ten taels of silver. The injured will be rewarded according to their injuries." Qing will provide a pension of ten to fifty taels, and a one-time pension of one hundred taels for those killed in battle. In addition, a head will be rewarded with two taels of silver, and a prisoner will be rewarded with three taels of silver. Those who are willing to exchange the silver will be able to redeem it on the spot, and those who are willing to accumulate merit will be promoted. Yes, put it on the credit sheet.”

As soon as Jia Huan finished speaking, the whole audience burst into cheers. As a soldier, glory is a must, but money is the most real thing. Just shouting slogans is not enough. As the saying goes, people are like iron rice and steel. If you don't eat a meal, you will starve. No matter how brave the iron-blooded soldier is, he still has to support his family. If there is no future and no money, who is willing to risk his life to hang out with you?
For a soldier, it is undoubtedly a blessing to hang out with a commander who can win battles. If the commander is generous, it is even more of a blessing. Jia Huan is obviously This kind of person, he was honest, he immediately ordered the captured loot to be counted, and all the money that the soldiers deserved was distributed that night, and everyone was happy.

As a result, not only the soldiers who had the chance to land on the island were enthusiastic, but the whole army was gearing up and their morale was high, because everyone knew that Mr. Huan would do what he said, and he would do what he said and cut off a pirate's head. You can get two taels of silver just for your head.

Tonight is June 15th, a full moon night, and the white moonlight is scattered all over the ground. Jia Huan inspected the island and couldn't help but be filled with emotion. The island in front of him was deserted, dilapidated, and overgrown with weeds. But who could have expected that after more than five hundred years, the area here would increase dozens of times, and there would be tall buildings. Lin Li, extreme prosperity?

Previous life... Well, it should be regarded as a previous life. In his previous life, Jia Huan studied in the Department of History and Archeology, and he once specialized in a topic, that is, the historical changes of Chongming Island. Because of this, he still roughly remembers the tides of Chongming Island. The law of change. Under normal circumstances, the tide will rise around Chongming Island around two o'clock in the morning, reaching the peak around six o'clock in the morning, which is the so-called high tide. On the fifteenth day of every month, due to the influence of the moon's gravity, the peak tide is also the largest. of.

At this moment, it is another full moon night, and the sky is full of stars. Standing on this deserted island more than five hundred years ago, I recall the scene of myself walking through the bustling streets under the neon lights more than five hundred years later. Jia Huan couldn't help but feel a little dazed, and his eyes even became wet. People and events from the previous life came to mind bit by bit.

The universe is vast, time and space are endless, and human life is too short. By chance, I actually witnessed this vicissitudes of life. I don’t know if it’s luck or misfortune!

Mandarin's face was full of doubts, and she couldn't believe her eyes. Is this guy crying? This is impossible. Not long ago, he shot and killed a pirate in cold blood. Well, he must have been pretending. Look at how he bought the hearts of those officers and soldiers!

Mandarin tried to convince herself, but when her eyes touched Jia Huan, she still couldn't help but feel a throbbing. Damn it, this guy is obviously younger than her, but why can he show such a vicissitudes of life in his eyes, as if he has lived for hundreds of years? It seems like a thousand years, how strange!
