Chapter 12 The sun and moon in the mountains are long

The capital of the god Luoyang,

The snowflakes covered up the ugliness and pains of the world, and also covered up the hard and thin body under the corners of the streets and walls, hugging each other in groups to keep warm.

With the soldiers running around the streets and crying and scolding of house searches, the series of accidents in Luoyang have ended for some people and can return to the false comfort of singing and dancing, but for others, with the new round of orders from the riots, it is just the beginning of nightmares and regional torture.

Because of too many circles of royal families in charge of living, Li Rui, Zong Zhengqing, ushered in his 107th birthday. Although his birthday was particularly deserted and lonely because of the dilapidated and chaotic city, his children were absent, and there was only a group of equally old and unable to walk, waiting by his side with his trembling old arms and legs.

He stammered and said auspicious words and compliments, and then gave him a cup of it, even if it was a birthday celebration.

My teeth have not yet fallen off and I can still chew the paste of the paste of the old mutton soup. If it is in the peaceful times, it will be a sign of a blessing for any emperor to be kind and rewarded.

As the oldest elder in the royal family, he has witnessed at least eleven emperors of the Tang Dynasty, with ups and downs in life, the longest of which was just a lewd and indecent struggle for seventeen years, and the shortest was less than six months, and he died of terror and depression on the throne.

But almost every generation of emperors will undoubtedly be like a passing vortex, carrying a large number of royal family members and close ministers as burials and victims of the late emperor.

Despite this, the huge population of the royal family accumulated by the genocide still increased like rats in the imperial city warehouse.

Although he changed his name and character many times because of the taboos he received after the ascension of the throne, from Li Yunrui to Li Mingrui and to Li Rui; he was undoubtedly the luckyest person in the royal family, and his low-key and uncontested nature made him well-continued as a Zong Bo who was similar to the decoration.

It is simply because when the power changes his throne, he, like the royal clan leader, endorses all kinds of acts of usurping and abolishing the establishment and acts as a fig leaf that is dispensable to some extent.

During this period, five of the seven sons were dead, and only one of the dozen or so daughters left by their legitimate and illegitimate daughters were left. Some grandchildren and grandchildren had also died, but he was still a tenacious person and a witness to the real era.

In this dynasty that falls behind the power of the last days, as the royal family that only exists in name only, it is undoubtedly a painful and desperate burden. Countless people would rather leave their posts and become one of the common people they had looked at in the past.

But more people do not have enough courage to break the cage created by the royal family identity, and continue to struggle with the barely guaranteed and false sense of security, and sink day after day. It is not that no one has ever thought about changing the status quo.

However, their ending was either to become missing people, to become one of the many people hanging from the city, or to some unknown corpse in the mass grave.

But Li Rui has survived stubbornly, and even lived longer than most of his children. If nothing unexpected happens, as a sign and appearance, he will continue to live longer.

Then, taking the treatment and rations that were given to the emperor, the most preferred ones were given, and on the throne of the New Emperors, who were several generations younger than him, under the threat of power and reality, with the will of those who were in power behind the scenes, on the stage called the Great Position and the Court, they could not help but continue to do the out-of-line puppet dance until they were completely destroyed and replaced with a new one.

The shouts of hustle and hustle were interrupted by his meditation and memories.

In the Sixteen Kings' house, the disrepaired gate was knocked open and fell into the dust with the roar of open fire. The remaining servant could not dodge and escape, and was chased and killed between the corridors of the Tingzhu. Countless artifacts were knocked down and trampled on their feet.

He suddenly realized that they did not even need this decoration of their own.

But at least, as the oldest clan, I still try my best to use the last little resources to make arrangements for the last little blood heir of my relatives, and the only thing left is praying and waiting.

I heard that a group of people escaped from the water gate in the east of the city. When he thought about this, he suddenly became a little nervous.

In the sword light that was approaching, he suddenly remembered the situation where the powerful minister's father, holding his young descendants, asked him to bless him with a humble knee.

I couldn't help but burst into tears and sang the lyrics of "Xiangyao" in the white drama "The Emperor's Flower" that was popular hundreds of years ago:

"Fallen flowers are covered with moonlight

Borrow a cup and recommend it to the phoenix platform

The Emperor's Flowers Burst incense with Tears

May I die and return to Xie's parents

Secretly looking

He is sad with tears and tears

I'm half scared

I am afraid that the prince consort will be cherished by the phoenix

Not willing to die for love with me

I hope to be buried together

Couple of mandarin ducks snuggled together

A new room is set up on the spring platform

Find Pingyangmen Lane in the underworld in the underworld..."

Using the last words of "I hate myself for being born in the imperial family" as the ending and the aftermath, Li Rui ended his 107-year-old life on his birthday.

Taking the experience of this Zong Bo as a microcosm, there are only a few lines of words in the historical books: "I think of my home, and I will slaughter thousands of the royal family."

For others, this is just the curtain that the new era has begun.

...

After eating for 80% full, I rubbed a few handfuls in the wood ash, cleaned up the oil stains on my hands, and began to hold the wooden beams with both hands to do some simple physical exercises.

After a sufficient diet and attention to exercise, my body's fit and potential seemed to be slowly recovered. For example, the control of strength by agility in thinking and nerve reflexes, at least I am very satisfied with the striped abdominal muscles that this body has, rather than the originally elastic belly.

When the sweating was almost the same, I began to apply the linen to the cold water in the pottery basin to test my body.

During the past month and a half in Liangshan, I have been wandering a lot in various corners. However, there is no hidden attributes to the old man who passes his skills, or a mysterious figure who is dying to send treasure maps, nor does it happen to see a soft girl taking a bath.

But those big guys who are covered in dirt and have a smell of the smoke, or those who speak like the sound of nature, with the same residue and the same color as the shredded vegetables, should they have as much as they want.

This made me, who was accustomed to modern hygiene habits, always avoided it like a defeated dog. Therefore, after having a clean water source next to the warehouse, even though I was so cold that my whole body was shaking, I insisted on taking a shower every day.

You should know that modern people who are used to bathing and uninterrupted hot water supply for twenty-four hours have the inconvenience and awkwardness of reentering the wilderness. The dirt that is easy to accumulate and the parasites such as ubiquitous fleas and lice are enough to be impressive.

There is a trickle of mountain spring next to the scattered warehouse, which has become one of the main factors that I have just solved my stomach problem and moved here. After all, according to the conditions on Liangshan, taking a bath is not a relatively luxurious thing.

But it is really hard to ask me to stand in the water room with a group of rude men with hairy bodies, take the risk of picking up soap to fish in the troubled waters; or run to the cold river with the children who are closed and accept the attention and attention of the surrounding people.

On the other hand, when you live with other people, you will meet more people. The so-called "multiple people" and some living habits and language mistakes can easily attract other people's attention or cause unnecessary trouble.

Every day, I cook a pot of water to steam, burn and disinfect clothes and other daily necessities. If there are no detergents and insufficient replacement, this is very important. You can also make drinks to replenish water, or as a need to prepare processed food.

Parasites and infectious diseases are also the most common causes of disease and death in this era of famine and turmoil. After all, a good sanitary environment and personal living habits require social order in a stable period to be implemented and maintained.

In order to avoid getting in the way, I cut my hair above my temples and wrapped it in a piece of plain cloth so that I won't be too different from others...

In addition to food and clothing, the amateur life of this era is also monotonous. It is said that the senior executives of Liangshan also have some kidnapped or bought music to relieve boredom and leisure.

I can only exercise my body through some simple props and gymnastics until my whole body is sore and swelling and sweating doubles to maintain a relatively stable physical condition. This can avoid the probability of getting sick. Once there is one day in the future, I can persist for a longer period of time.

Then we make various records, copy the memories from this body, and also record some things that I came from later generations that might be useful, but worried that I would be forgotten over time. In addition to traditional brush and ink writing in this era, there are two more common cheap alternatives:

Small characters written with reed poles or bird feather tips and dipped in ink are said to be imported from overseas vassals; or large characters written with special hard charcoal strips wrapped in bamboo tubes. However, because toner is easy to fall off, wax and reinforce them on the paper is an invention from the Tang army hundreds of years ago.

After finishing all this, it was another day with nothing to do. Seeing that winter had arrived, although the snowflakes had not yet come down, people's outdoor activities were greatly reduced due to the cold. Therefore, the business of this miscellaneous warehouse basically stopped. I started to blow "The Original Scenery of Hometown" with a flute made of tree leaves. This is considered to be a rare entertainment for myself in the monotonous and lonely life in the back mountain.

Because of the cold, even the sound of birds disappeared, and only the sound of flutes was left in the sky. In this moment of tranquility, I remembered the moments of life in Luoyang again, and then I remembered that those women were finally rescued, but now they were in such a state of mind, so I couldn't help but get some adjustments.

But this silence was quickly broken by some slight movement.

I pricked up my ears, heard the noise in the grass, and sighed. This weather actually came again. Then I saw a big mushroom, a big mushroom walking on the path behind the bushes, and couldn't help but say hello, "Hi, Suna",

The huge mushroom head is actually a veil that covers the entire head, which is in sharp contrast to the petite figure below, just like the Mario Brothers' two-dimensional mushroom, which is coming to reality. So I gave it a nickname - Suna.

Although it is located in a remote corner, when I give a private snack, I occasionally attract extra random visitors. For example, this pair of mysterious ones, ones, ones, ones, and ones, are purely coming to listen to my story.

Although the other party seems to have no threat, the negative force value even gives people the illusion that it is easy to bully, it is difficult for people standing by the "Mushroom" to mess with. He is a strong and dark-skinned old man. When he stands silently, he naturally has a tough aura that is not triggered.

The first time I met, I was to crush a piece of log that was ready to chop firewood. It was solid pine wood as thick as a sea bowl. Then, like breaking sugarcane skin, I broke the cracked log into thinner strings of firewood with bare hands. So I no longer lacked firewood that day, and by the way, I also had a pair of listeners.

Well, this is a chaotic world, and the ancient version of the masters among the people, I told myself so much. But what I am even more curious is that in this, the human body and potential can be trained and strengthened to what extent.

Liangshan is not just a mountain, but a small mountain surrounded by water. In addition to armed forces and auxiliary personnel, it also has several special guests.

From ancient business - kidnapping. Of course, unlike ordinary bandits who can only make small fuss, those who can invite visitors to Liangshan are all luxury figures with corresponding identities, high-ranking officials with great backgrounds, or wealthy businessmen.

To a certain extent, protection fees and ransomware of various names are one of the important income channels that complement each other. You will receive preferential treatment, and you may even find small ingredients for personal tastes. As long as you have enough power or wealth background, temporary difficulties will be just a passing cloud.

In addition, some VIPs who have business dealings will also settle down in the mountains, but it will not take too long. After all, the main business here is still a robber's nest.

However, this pair of master and servants is a very exceptional existence. I don’t know where the identity emerges from it. The mysterious ones and the people of Liangshan are very polite and courtesy to them far exceed the level of ordinary "guests", but they strictly limit the scope of their personal activities, which is limited to this back mountain.

Overall, my personal sense is that it is more like a strictly protected VIP than a certain object of restraint.

Not to mention, this is a very handsome temperament and appearance between children and young people. Compared with the rough, violent, tough or unrestrained, it is really too conspicuous among the crowds of Liangshan, who are both rough and violent, tough or unrestrained. It is like a carefully cultivated koi, placed in a mud full of sludge that can only be drilled into holes and eels, and it is annoying like wandering and freely.

Or a small peacock with distinct feathers accompanied an eagle, mixed in a group of quails, playing house games with an almost swaggering presence. Especially, I was nicknamed "Suna", a big mushroom, who was nicknamed "Suna", was wearing men's clothing, but spoke softly, and was more inclined to be a sissy or weak-shouta.

Before I was sent to this back mountain, they had been in Liangshan for a long time, and I seemed to have become part of their fun in search of leisure and boredom.

But does this have something to do with me? At least their appearance will bring me some convenience and preferential treatment.

At least that old follower with wrinkles on his face would almost be regarded as a mute person. He has considerable authority in Liangshan. At least among the people I can meet, he greeted him respectfully in person. He basically said whatever he wanted and did everything he wanted.
