After Sheng Liming decided to support Raja Homa Yade, Yixing Party also decided to support another Malay chief.
Naturally, the two parties choose to support different local governors for their own interests, and they don't know that the Chinese workers in the mine will be divided into two factions and fight with each other.
Three people have been working in the mine for a while, almost half a year. They have gradually become familiar with their respective jobs. For example, the dish fried by leaves finally meets the taste of the supervisor and has also been praised by the supervisor.
Only in the past few months, the mine has been filled with the smell of blood. From time to time, people come here to check, and the supervision of the mine has also increased a lot.
Huang Zhengchang was doing the same thing as usual, but he heard a colleague talk about a miner who died in the suburbs a few days ago.
The volume of their talk is not high, and Huang Zhengchang only vaguely heard some words about Haishan or Yixing, as well as moving knives and guns. Huang Zhengchang wanted to think, maybe it was just the hatred of a group of people, and he didn't care.
"Go!" Suddenly, a miner took the lead in gathering many people to the supervisor's big account.
Big account seems to be shouting some slogans, full of passion. Ye Zude quietly put his head into the tent and saw the supervisor uniting the people, raising his fist and shouting down the Yixing Party. He stayed in the mine for half a year and heard a lot about the dispute between the two sides of Haishan Yixing. Only this time, the supervisor is still holding a broadsword, which is more like preparing to kill someone. The passion of the masses has been unbearable, and they are determined to fight Jia to the end.
Ye is usually responsible for cooking and washing clothes, which can be said to be Jia's closest confidant in the mine. He ran all the way to find Huang Zhengchang and Ye Zude, and vegetables and leaves were stuck on his clothes. Out of breath, he said, "I ... heard that Jia Shanbi Sheng Liming decided to cooperate with a local chief named Raja Homayad ... War may break out soon!"
"what! ? "Huang Zhengchang just wants to work quietly, not to lose his life for these things. His mind is full of thoughts of running away quickly.
However, Ye Zude gave a different view on this matter. "Chang, I think we should join!"
Don't say that Huang Zhengchang doesn't understand, even Ye is confused. Be aggressive, don't fight with your own people!
"If the seamount side wins, can't we share more benefits? If you have made a meritorious military service, you have really succeeded! " Ye Zude is right. Under the present circumstances, if you want a better life, you have to struggle, and making friends with these people is the best choice.
However, Huang Zhengchang cherishes his life, and Ye knows that he doesn't understand swords and spears.
"Manager, Jia is here." A man came in and reported to the supervisor.
The supervisor drank a bowl of tea and picked up a broadsword. "Let's go! Brothers must not lose this time! "
A group of people came out of the tent and headed straight for the mine gate. Jia also changed into the official uniform of the Qing Dynasty and put on simple and convenient clothes. The man on the left, with a serious face and a fierce figure, is his general Liu. On the right is the deputy commander of this operation. He is also Liu's deputy.
Ye Zude joined the team without hesitation and picked up a big knife.
Huang Zhengchang and Ye looked at each other with strange eyes, thinking about the same thing.
The next day, war broke out. Hundreds of miners put down shovels, picked up spears and broadswords and rushed forward to fight. Haishan Party and Yixing Party were in a fierce battle, while Huang Zhengchang and Ye chose to save their lives and found a hiding place to hide.
"Where do you think Zude is now?" Ye took Huang Zhengchang to the kitchen where she usually cooks.
Huang Zhengchang glanced out of the window. "He should join Ah Loy Yap's team ..."
"There are people! I know them! They are seamounts! Kill them! " Suddenly, a man pointed a knife at the kitchen where they were hiding and shouted.
When he learned that his whereabouts were exposed, Huang Zhengchang, who had lost his mind, wanted to rush out of the door, but was caught by the calm leaf. He shouted angrily, "What are you catching?" Run! I've already killed my eyes outside! "
"You are silly! This is the kitchen! " Ye pointed to the burning firewood and cooking wine, and pointed to the window behind him.
Huang Zhengchang immediately understood, picked up the bottle and smashed it at the door, smashing several in a row. Ye also drew a firewood from the firewood. After Huang Zhengchang jumped out of the window, he threw firewood on the ground to make wine before fleeing, which instantly ignited a fire.
The kitchen was burnt down, and several people who wanted to break in stopped. The blazing flame also attracted the attention of the nearby Haishan Party and turned to the kitchen. Several people who nominally held a party were outnumbered, and finally they were killed and their bodies were thrown into the room.
Since they escaped from the kitchen, all they know is to run all the way forward. Shuangxi Wu Rong is no longer calm. Although the mine has been mined, there are still two factions fighting everywhere. Not only Chinese workers, but also two Malay chiefs joined the war.
There was chaos everywhere, and Huang Zhengchang remembered the situation when he fled the dock. He grabbed Ye and said to him, "Go! Let's escape to the nearby forest again! "
"Good ... good!" Ye was stunned for a while at first, but several people died by the sword, and she promised twice.
The clash of swords and guns surrounds every place in Shuangxi Wurong, and people's panic and screams can be heard all the time, but this can never douse the bonfire caused by the two factions.
The weapons of China workers are broadswords and spears. Witches' weapons include daggers and spears. And, of course, muskets.
I have been hiding in the forest for a whole month, and I still hear people fighting from time to time. Huang Zhengchang and Ye followed the sound of water and began to move into the forest. After running all day, they were in low spirits.
During this period, they all lived on wild fruits of the forest. Occasionally, they go out to look for some food, but today they are unfortunately lost in the forest.
Every step in the forest rustles of broken leaves. The two men are worried about revealing their whereabouts, because just now, they found several paths for people to walk in this forest. Because of this, it forces them to walk on tiptoe and try not to touch the ground directly.
"Chang, how can we find Zude?" Ye Jiayue brushed aside the cobwebs wrapped around his forehead, making him feel itchy.
Huang Zhengchang frowned and waved. "Don't be so big! It would be terrible if it were discovered later! As for Zude ... Go to him when the situation is more stable! "
Ye Jiayue kept silent, which means he acquiesced.
As we go deeper and deeper into the forest, the gurgling sound of running water becomes clearer and clearer. Ye saw the phosphorescence on the river, and she wanted to rush to the river bank with one step, but was stopped by Huang Zhengchang who was squatting on the side.
Huang Zhengchang pulled down his hand and motioned for him to squat down.
Ye Jiayue solemnly said to Huang Zhengchang: "You love to pull you! I didn't eat all night, there is nothing to pull! "
Huang Zhengchang blushed and patted Ye Jia's smooth head of Yin and Yang. He pointed across the grass to the other side of the river and said, "Someone! Fool! "
Looking in the direction of the finger, Ye couldn't see anyone at first, but as the other party seemed to step on the dead branch by mistake, he made a noise. He also found that someone was really moving, and it was a group of people.
Originally, I was still wondering if this was Yixing Party or a local chief, but Ye recognized a hat.
That is Jia Dai's official hat!
"Often, is one of their own! It's Sheng Liming! " Ye Jiayue stood up excitedly but immediately squatted down!
Huang Zhengchang surprised, "what's the matter! ? "
"It's ... it's ... it's a witch!" Ye Jiayue's legs are shaking.
Huang Zhengchang covered himself and Ye's mouth. He wants to observe the situation first, and then make plans.
"A will Dan! We seem to be lost! " A deputy is reporting the current situation to Sheng, who is really upset. The battle suddenly came and he was forced to fight in a hurry. Eventually led to this failure.
However, he wanted to go to Lu Gu Town to take refuge in Raja Homa Yade, but he didn't want to get lost on the road. Now he is preparing to return to Shuangxi Wurong.
He looked at his brothers behind him. Everyone was panting and hurt. Since there is a river here, he is going to have a rest here.
"I think we should leave quietly first ... I always feel that the two sides will fight as soon as they meet!" Ye pulled Huang Zhengchang's skirt.
But Huang Zhengchang, who always wants to save his life on weekdays, is also bold. For Ye, he always stays put and observes the changes of the situation before making plans. After all, you can't catch up across a river!
Ye's face is almost wrinkled, and I wonder if this Huang Zhengchang is crazy!
"A will Dan! Shit, we were ambushed! " A soldier shouted in panic.
Ming Sheng scooped up a handful of water by hand and took a sip. As soon as he heard that he was ambushed, he quickly spilled the water on his hand and picked up a big knife to guard against it.
"Protect Gabidan!" Everyone shouted and surrounded Sheng in the middle of the crowd.
Spears, like snake heads, slowly extended from the Woods, and a group of people were trapped by the river, unable to move. The approaching Malay army took advantage, and the warriors with spears snickered.
Soon, they will be able to make great achievements in this war.
Sheng Liming almost wanted to give up his resistance ... He led his cronies and some disabled soldiers, which were far less than the enemy of Malay in terms of numbers and combat power.
The Malay commander thinks this stalemate is meaningless. He is invincible anyway. With a loud shout, a spear was inserted into the heart of China's army. The comrades who fell to the ground vomited blood, covered the wound painfully, then rolled their eyes and died after a convulsion.
Sheng's side has obviously lost, and two Malay soldiers caught Sheng. Despite his repeated entreaties, his head was cut off by the enemy.
The two people squatting across the river bank have been blindsided. Huang Zhengchang regretted that he should have listened to Ye and took the opportunity to escape! If you get caught, won't you be beheaded, too?
"How about now ... willing to go! It is very difficult to die in a different place! " Ye has turned around and is ready to escape.
Huang Zhengchang also turned around, "line ... line! Run! "
Hold your horses, hold the chassis steady, and raise your ass slightly. ...
"Three ... two ... one! Run! ..... oh! " Huang Zhengchang ran around like a frog whose foot was cut off when he was about to take off.
Just as he was about to start, a gunshot happened, which really scared him.
Fortunately, the Malay soldiers followed the sound after hearing the gunshots and did not stay by the river for long.
Huang Zhengchang, who recovered, sat on the trunk and touched his chest, panting. Ye really panicked, and the whole person was shocked.
A group of people were shooting at a hut, with several bodies lying next to it. After identification, he was a member of Haishan Party, while Ah Loy Yap, the deputy commander, was hiding in the hut.
Ah Loy Yap, who was short, hid under the table to avoid bullets. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his thigh. He rolled up his trouser legs and found that the bullet hit his leg. Sweat on his forehead kept flowing, and he clenched his collar to hold back the pain.
He's in a charcoal burner's cabin. In desperation, he picked up a piece of charcoal and threw it into the grass in the east, successfully diverting the fire, while he reluctantly hid in the grass in the opposite direction and made a typical diversion.
Fortunately, the battlefield is in a remote mountain forest, and trees and grass are excellent cover. He crossed the grassland, through the forest, and fled all the way to Lugu town of Malay Coalition forces.
Helpless thigh injury, eventually fainted due to excessive blood loss. Before losing consciousness, he seemed to hear someone speaking Malay.
"Sana' ada Olang! (There are people there! ) "A Malay soldier suddenly found Ah Loy Yap fainted in the grass.
Knowing that he was Jia's second in command, one of the generals ordered him to be carried back to Lugu town for treatment.
Ah Loy Yap really fainted, but Xin Kui met friendly troops.
Ye Zude was also seriously injured and ran all the way to Lugu Town. His shoulder was stabbed, leaving a slender knife edge. Along the way, in order to escape the pursuer, he didn't rest and his lips were white.
Huang Zhengchang and Ye Jiayue stopped and walked all the way, just like crossing the river by feeling the stones, and they escaped from the battlefield where the two sides were at war. Ye Jiayue looked at the path on the ground and felt a little familiar. But I really can't remember myself, so I asked Huang Zhengchang to help him think together.
"Look, why is this path so familiar?" Ye jiayue wiped off a footprint that looked like an animal with his shoes.
Huang Zhengchang kicked him and said loudly, "How did you erase it?" ! ? "
When he took his anger out on Ye, he remembered the country road that Zhang Ming took them to Shuangxi.
"I remember! We came to Shuangxi Wurong from Lugu, which is the road! " Huang Zhengchang suddenly realized.
Ye suddenly became wary of the surrounding environment. He pointed not far away and said, "There is movement!"
Huang Zhengchang also heard the sound of someone shuttling through the grass. The two men bent down and walked slowly forward. Ye Jiayue relies on the noise that the man makes when he moves. It sounded like I was dragging something, and I walked for a stop, as if I was injured.
"Ah ..." Before the man finished, he fainted on the road.
Huang Zhengchang saw that this person's clothes were familiar, so he quickly checked, but it was Ye Zude! There was bright red blood on his face, and his hand tightly covered the wound on his shoulder. Ye began to panic at the sight of blood. He faltered and said, "Zude can't die! Often ... what now? "
"What to do ... you suddenly asked me what to do, and I didn't know what to do ..." Huang Zhengchang said, confused. ...
Zhao Yongde! Huang Zhengchang suddenly remembered Zhao Yongde in Lu Gu Town! Since Haishan Party chose TuMonsieur beaucaire in Lugu Town as its ally, Lugu Town should be a safe place! Huang Zhengchang made up his mind and decided to take Ye Zude to Lugu Town for treatment.
He took Ye Zude's arm with Ye Jiayue and spoke ill of him when he was still in a coma.
"You said this man deserved it! Let him hide with us, but he won't! Now something's wrong ... it's up to you and me to help! " Ye finished and spat on the ground, not caring about his status as a scholar.
Why is Zhengchang Yuzryha more beautiful than before? He scolded so happily, of course, he should add a few more words.
"Isn't it! He was hit on the head by a coconut! It's useless except that the limbs are slightly developed! It's a cow! And a bull! " Huang Zhengchang also secretly pulled Ye Zude's braid.
Ye looked happy and pulled a few times. How can you be worthy of yourself if you don't throw yourself at difficulties? Ye Zude is completely like a tiger in Pingyang, bullied by dogs.
On the way to Lugu ancient town, Huang Zhengchang said all the ugly words again, and Ye Zude's braid was pulled many times.
Maybe they just don't know, Ye Zude just squints all the way.
It's really difficult to catch up with an injured person, but after working in the mine for a period of time, Huang Zhengchang and Ye are indeed much tougher and stronger than before. Step by step, step by step, finally arrived in Lugu ancient town shortly after dark.
Zhao Yongde is lying on a bamboo couch, bathed in the moonlight coming in from the window, sipping Fujian tribute tea brought by her relatives from China a few days ago, and Fangshan is in bud. When he thought of this relative, he couldn't help sighing that he was old.
When I first arrived, I was broke. If I hadn't worked hard day and night in the foreigner's garden, I would have lived a stable life now. Think about it. Before I left, I looked at my hometown. It's really shabby, and I don't know if I've received the letter I sent home during this time.
"Tea is good tea ... the moon is not round enough tonight ... I hope people will live for a long time, thousands of miles away ..." The wrinkles around Zhao Yongde's eyes are like the testimony of his hard work in a foreign land.
Touch! Touch! Touch!
"Someone! Open the door quickly! "
Emotional Zhao Yongde was scared by the sudden knock on the door and spilled tea all over his body. The rapid knock on the door resounded through the sky, as if ready to open the door at any time!
"coming!" Zhao Yongde ignored his sleeping wife and children and shouted loudly.
After angrily pushing the door open, I stepped on the threshold with my front foot, feeling that I stepped on a pool of dark red blood. If I hadn't held the doorknob, I'm afraid I would have slipped to the ground.
"Zhao Xiong! Go and help Ye Zude! " Ye Jiayue shouted and gasped.
When Zhao Yongde saw that he was a friend, he saw Ye Zude covered in blood. In a short time, he asked two men to carry Ye Zude into the house and looked at the doorman again before closing the door. Zhao Yongde knew what had happened without asking more questions. He has learned about Shuangxi Wu Rong. A few days ago, many wounded soldiers fled to Lu Gu town.
Zhao Yongde said to them anxiously: "It's getting late now. I'll clean up the blood stains outside the door first, and then I'll ask my sister-in-law to dress Ye Zude. "
"Ok ... Thank you very much!" Huang Zhengchang made a fist to show his thanks.
Ye Jia Yue sat on the floor, leaning against the wall, and finally he was able to catch his breath.
"The black velvet in Shuangxi is so messy, how did you escape?" Zhao Yongde woke up his wife to dress Ye Zude and brought two cups of tea. Although I can't bear to give away the famous tea like this, I still don't care because of some mutual affection.
Huang Zhengchang respectfully picked up the teacup and took a sip, vividly describing the mess of Shuangxi Wurong to Zhao Yongde. As he said, the Chinese workers in the mine split and fought with each other, and the factions of the Zhongwu tribe formed alliances and fought with each other.
Compared with these, Jia Sheng's death shocked Zhao Yongde even more. Jia's death also means that the local Chinese community has lost its leader, and the situation may only get worse.
Yong-de zhao surprised one thing at the same time, "you said Ye Zude attended the party of seamount, and you escaped while the mine was in chaos! ? "
"Yes!" Huang Zhengchang wondered why Zhao Yongde's reaction was so surprising.
Zhao Yongde told him: "Stay at my house for a while, don't go out! The Haishan Party was defeated, and Ye Zude was also a member of Haishan Party. The situation is unstable, so take refuge here. "
Ye Jiayue put down the cup and smiled and said, "huh? Just what I want! "
Huang Zhengchang didn't ignore him. He is more concerned about Ye Zude's injury. He went to fight with others, but he ran away with Ye. He was ashamed of this and secretly blamed himself for disloyalty and injustice.
After dressing up, Mrs. Zhao said to Zhao Yongde, "Although the wound is deep, fortunately I didn't hurt my bones and muscles, but I must have a good rest. Tomorrow I will go to town to buy some medicinal materials. "
Zhao Yongde nodded, but later, in hindsight, he asked, "Don't you need the medicine I ordered with Zhang Ming?"
Mrs. Zhao looked around and didn't want to answer Zhao Yongde's question. Zhao Yongde felt that there was a problem and asked again, but Mrs. Zhao still didn't want to talk about it.
After repeated questioning, Mrs. Zhao could no longer conceal it.
Mrs. Zhao put her hand over her mouth and smiled gracefully because there was an outsider in front. "Just that batch ... the road is wet and all broken! Haha! "
"what! ! ! "Yong-de zhao jumped up with anger and could not help striking table. He then scolded: "didn't that bastard know how to protect medicinal materials when he sold them?" ! My money! And some of my good pigs! "He stamped his feet with anger, as if to dismember Zhang Ming.
Finally, Mrs. Zhao came forward to appease. Mrs. Zhao patted him on the shoulder and said softly, "Forget it, Zhang Ming is selling medicinal materials for the first time. Don't blame him too much! "
Zhao Yongde was speechless ... "Hey!"
Ye seldom sees Zhao Yongde as angry as a monkey. "Brother Zhao, is this tea the dew bud of Fangshan, Fujian?"
Zhao Yongde listened to Ye's story about the origin of tea, and immediately had a somewhat impression on him. Huang Zhengchang looks very unpleasant. Ye drinks a cup like a dog, licking a little at a time. He has already drunk three cups.
To him, what is a surf bud? The tea in my hometown is the best!
"You also have a rest first! I'll go upstairs with our old man first! " Mrs. Zhao helped the frustrated Zhao Yongde to go upstairs slowly. You can still see Huang Zhengchang's lips trembling slightly, as if he were whispering something.
He thought about it later. Anyway, it was not himself who sold him inferior drugs, but Zhang Ming!
Ye Jiayue took a sip of tea, but he couldn't get rid of sleepiness. After lying on the floor for a while, he fell asleep and snored. Huang Zhengchang is not sleepy. After checking Ye Zude's injury, he went to the open window.
Although there is moonlight, it is a pity that the moon is not round enough. Huang Zhengchang leaned against the window and looked at the moon. He couldn't help thinking of his distant hometown.
"Give me a little more time ... I can definitely go back to my hometown." Huang Zhengchang made such an oath to Chang 'e in the sky.
There was no way back to the mine, and he knew he had to find another way to live. It's just … I left Shuangxi Wurong and returned to Lugu Town. What can I do here to change my destiny?
"Ah ..." Thinking about the heavy problem, I yawned unconsciously and finally got sleepy. It's ironic that I want to sleep at the thought of hard work. No wonder so many people still live a muddled life today.
In the last chapter, where is Jia? Next chapter, new hope.
