20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 62 Leopard Change (·Final Chapter)
In the 29th year of Guangxu's reign, Jiang Xiaodao, an orphan from Liaoyang, broke into the royal residence in Nancheng at night, which led to some unjust encounters. Finally, he carried his "picked up" daughter-in-law Hu Xiaoyan on his back, followed his adoptive father Jiang Chenghai to live in Fengtian, and became a disciple of Zhou Yunfu, the leader of the world.

All kinds of absurdities have been experienced during this period. The speaker has no evidence and the listener cannot believe it. What a coincidence!

In March or February, Jiang Xiaodao's young man's vision was spent wandering around the city, rivers and lakes, barren mountains and green forests, involving thieves, bodyguards, beggars, human traffickers, government servants, landlords, thieves, foremen, prostitutes, smokers... men and women... Young and old, all kinds of people, each has his own way of coming, and each has his own way back.

But to him, those people hurriedly passing by were just silhouettes, like a donkey shadow puppet show, separated by a piece of paper, no matter how lively it was, and no matter how obsessed they were, it was not their true colors after all.

Three points of pride must be seven points of helplessness, half of being upright can hardly hide the other half of insidiousness.

He has never seen the colors of the human world before.

However, there is no need to be impatient. The mountains and rivers are broken and the world is in chaos. How can he control his wish whether he sees it or not?
Since meeting Zhou Yunfu, Jiang Xiaodao, under the guidance of his father, has gradually restrained his past eccentricity. Although he still has a naughty side, at least he can understand good words and bad words, and he studies and practices diligently with his uncles all day long.

His father taught him marksmanship, his second uncle taught him fishing and hunting, his third uncle taught him poetry, his fourth uncle taught him martial arts, his fifth uncle taught him rules, his sixth uncle taught him Buddha Hands, and his seventh uncle acted like a fool and just watched the fun.

Jiang Xiaodao went to complain to his father, saying that his seventh uncle refused to teach him An Qingzi.

Gong Baonan repeatedly complained and said bluntly to Xiaodao, there is nothing to teach about concealed weapons, just one word, practice!Have you seen the slender willow tree in front of your door? Just take the stones, stand in the yard, throw them at it, and hit it three hundred times a day. After one year, replace it with a knife, and after two years, replace it with a knife. The iron picks will be replaced with iron nails after three years, and you will hit the dead things to the living things. When you can hit the bird, your kung fu will be complete.

Therefore, among several uncles, he is the one who teaches the most easily, which often makes people hate him.

As for whether the uncles have no reservations and teach everything they have, only they themselves know.

Although Jiang Xiaodao is willing to learn, after all, he is at a playful age, and it is inevitable that he will cheat and play tricks sometimes. It would be okay if he does it in the hands of other uncles, but if he does it in the hands of his fourth uncle or fifth uncle, he will definitely get a meal. Beat hard.

Every time after being beaten, Jiang Chenghai would definitely call Xiaodao over, not asking if it hurt or why, but only asking if he accepted it.

Jiang Xiaodao always said, "I don't accept it!"

Then, Jiang Chenghai would roll up his sleeves, smile, and leave with peace of mind.

Where to go?

Of course, he was going to meet his daughter-in-law who had never been married!

On weekdays, Jiang Xiaodao practiced the moves with his fourth uncle during the day, delivered food to his wife at noon, and went to practice Buddha's hand with his sixth uncle on the way. In the evening, he had to go back and read stories to his father. He was so busy that he hit the back of the head with his foot.

After Hu Xiaoyan had been freshened up, her aunt Xu Ruqing gave her some jewelry from time to time. She polished it and applied powder on it. She didn't look very beautiful, but she looked dignified and had the face of a natural daughter-in-law.Even with her disability, there was a kind of regretful beauty.

Jiang Xiaodao thought it was just average, but considering Jiang Chenghai and Xu Ruqing's age, they really liked it.

How much do you like it?

Let's put it this way, no matter how much trouble Jiang Xiaodao caused outside, Jiang Chenghai would always make things right first and then teach him. He never beat or scolded him.

Counting from the beginning, Jiang Chenghai only hit him five times. The reason was for no other reason than that Jiang Xiaodao's foul mouth made Hu Xiaoyan cry.

Dad would just do it if he didn't fight. Once a fight started, it would be shocking and make the gods cry. Even if the six uncles worked together to encircle and suppress him, they might not be able to stop him.

That day, everyone gathered at Haijia in Jiangcheng to eat hot pot. Xiaodao insisted on drinking wine. After two cups, he couldn't help sighing.

Xu Ruqing was curious and asked him what was wrong.

Jiang Xiaodao suddenly hugged his head and cried, shouting: Auntie, I have changed from a son to a son-in-law!
Everyone laughed and went to pick up food for Hu Xiaoyan.

Ever since the little girl met Jiang Xiaodao, although she could not be said to have "became a master as soon as she looked back on it," she changed her life and naturally felt grateful for her kindness all the time. Not only had she already memorized the names of her uncles, she even remembered them. Their birthdays and preferences are also well known in their hearts. Whenever there is a festive birthday, they will always remind Xiaodao what gifts to prepare.

Jiang Xiaodao always said that people in Jianghu don't pay attention to these things!
If he refused to buy it, Hu Xiaoyan would use the pocket money given by Jiang Chenghai that she had saved in daily life to ask her sixth uncle to buy it, which often made Guan Wei sigh that Xiaodao was lucky.

Every time Xu Ruqing saw the two children Jiang and Hu, he couldn't help but say to Jiang Chenghai, Brother, we people have done too many bad things. If there is a hell in the world, we will definitely go there.But looking at the two of them, I always feel that we have done a good thing, right?

Jiang Chenghai pondered for a moment, then said, I don't know, maybe it's a good thing, maybe it's a bad thing...

Perhaps those older uncles all have Xu Ruqing's mentality.

Doing evil for half your life and doing good deeds are all because of guilt.

After autumn, Tsarist Russia sent hundreds of thousands more troops and horses, marched southward, and deployed heavy troops to garrison the front lines of Fengtian, Liaoyang, and Lushun. They forced many rural villagers to dig trenches, seize grain and grass, and build barbed wire fences along the way.

By this point, even the villagers and old women could tell that a war was about to begin.

Along the coast, people are fleeing north one after another.

The Qing court decided to sit on the sidelines, but in fact it wanted to use the hands of the Japanese to drive away Mao Zi.

Although there is a wonderful move on the chessboard, the pain of abandoning the piece is inevitable.

In the year of Jiawu, the Japs came... In the year of Gengzi, Maozi came... Now, they are here together... The white mountains, black water and green gauze tents are used as a stage with people.

…………

In the 29th year of Guangxu's reign, the Lunar New Year, it snowed heavily.

Jiang Chenghai took Xiaodao out of the city to practice riding horses.

"click click..."

"click click..."

The long-haired horse walked slowly and briskly on the snow, going round and round.

Jiang Xiaodao held the reins in his hand and looked nervous.His posture was a little skewed, but he quickly corrected it. After being so familiar for a while, the tight string in his head finally relaxed.

"Dad! It's done! I can ride!"

Jiang Chenghai stood in the snow curtain, wrapping his sleeves as usual, watching from a distance.

"Dad! This thing is not difficult! Hahaha!"

Jiang Xiaodao was proud, squealing, showing off, and wanted to ride faster, so he kicked the horse's belly hard with his heel, waved his whip, and shouted: "Drive! Drive! Drive!"

"Dad! How's it going? Are you okay?"

"Why didn't you say anything? Did you let your son calm him down?"

"Dad? Dad?"

Jiang Xiaodao turned around hard and looked back.

It turned out that without realizing it, he had gone too far.The snow curtains were thick and the wind was raging, making it difficult for him to open his eyes.In the mist, Jiang Chenghai's figure seemed to be there or not, seemed to be still there, and seemed to just think he was still there.

The heavy snow is merciless, and the sky and the earth are white.

I can’t tell where I am now...

He was a little panicked and quickly grabbed the reins. At this moment, he heard a shocking loud noise coming from the distant mountains, as powerful as thunder!

The Russo-Japanese War began.

In an instant, the horses were frightened, turned around and ran wildly, almost madly. It was obviously beyond the power of human beings to contend with!
But he refused!

Just dissatisfied!

There was no one around. He gritted his teeth and tightened the reins desperately in the wind and snow...

However, despite his best efforts, it was still to no avail.

Gradually, the thin figure was gradually swallowed up by the wind and snow.

For a long time, for a long time...

suddenly!

In the wind and snow, I heard a neighing sound soaring into the sky, but I saw a red-maned horse leaping out of the snow curtain like a dragon emerging from the abyss!

Turn around and open your eyes again!
Ho!
What a handsome young man, only then did he realize that his future life is to be feared!
He was wearing a black robe and mandarin jacket, with a white Western hat on his head.Looking around, the wind is so cool!When you raise your hands and feet, you look majestic!

There is a saying: The branches are low under the weight of snow, but even though they are low they cannot touch the mud; once the red sun rises, they are still level with the sky!

Dear readers, do you still recognize who he is?
