ideal era

20 The Wind 3

Li Xiangren is going up Mo. The Dan pool is nearly ten miles away from Hankou. In addition to the pond, this area is a rice field. When the rice was blown by the autumn wind, the golden rice waves were rolled up in the sun, and then the fragrance of rice came to the nose. It seemed to be a bumper harvest year. The busy old farmers in the field are sweating like rain, and there is an unhealthy dish on their open faces. In such a bumper harvest year, they still don't have enough to eat and wear warm clothes.

Li Xiang's footsteps did not stop, but silently thought about what he had seen all the way. This Xinhai Revolution is not just an asset revolution. Only when all strata of society form a united front can we truly realize the ideal of republican democracy. In the face of strong enemies inside and outside, even a short-term unification is better than fighting separately. As for the future class contradictions after unification, at least the conflict of force can be avoided, and the contradictions among the people can at most be to carry out some marches and demonstrations. Li thought that he was not naive enough to think that he could eliminate class contradictions. After democracy is realized, contradictions can be adjusted in a civilized way.

Li Xiang sighed for a long time, and there was a long way to go.

Li Xiang is not born with the great sentiment of patriotism and love for the people. Perhaps it should be said that it is forced by history. Living in modern times, he is so ordinary that the personality of passers-by will also fight for the flies and flies in the office. I haven't done any bad things that harm the interests of the country, but I have done a lot of things that harm others and self-interest. People like Li Xiang, who make small calculations all day long, are as many as cattle in this modern society full of material desire. Lixiang is just an extremely ordinary person among such a group of ordinary people.

Is it unfortunate or lucky that Li wants to travel through history under extremely accidental circumstances? He can't explain it himself. In modern times, he is a fool of life. He goes to work casually during the day, just one day, and at night, just one night. Life is such a relaxed and meaningless past. Life is full every day, and there is no extra time to lament life. Lixiang always arranges his time full. Even if he goes to do something meaningless, he is afraid that he will think nonsense when he calms down, and he will feel the loneliness and emptiness in his heart. He is afraid of facing his meaningless life, but subconsciously looking for these messy things to anesthetize himself. If he hadn't traveled through time, he might have lived his life like this. Such an ordinary life may be lucky.

People who lived in the early years of the Republic of China just want to live an ordinary life, but they can't get it. Li Xiang has a deep understanding after being involved in this history. Knowing the trajectory of history, can he still watch the tragedy repeat itself?

At first, Li Xiang just wanted to survive in this troubled world, but he didn't know that this world could eat people. I was forced to put on this skin. He also thought about drifting with the flow and with the light and dust. But when he witnessed the tragedy every day and put on the pain of others with his own hands, these were his compatriots, and it was really difficult for him to sleep.

In the face of this uneven world, there are always people who stand up. They consume their youth, and they dry their blood for the ideals in their hearts and for the revolution in China. Every time Li wants to see them, a hot current will gushed out of his heart, and the impulsive blood will slowly boil. Looking at the history of bloodshed in front of his eyes, and the inability to stop the history of bloodshed, it was difficult for him to sit still. The sadness of being a traveler is to know the cruel ending of history. Li wants to embark on this difficult revolutionary road, as if it is more a helpless choice. Fantasizing about changing history, how much effort it will take may not succeed.

Hankou was in sight. Lv Zhongqiu waited with his own company for a long time. He did not dare to ask Li Xiang what was delayed, but he was relieved to see that Li Xiang was sound.

Lv Zhongqiu followed Li Xiang's buttocks and said, "Master Liu has cleaned up his Liu's garden and is waiting to pick you up."

Li Xiang smiled and said, "He has a heart."

"It's not that the two battles fought beautifully. I think Master Liu's posture is to make Liu's garden for you." Lv Zhongqiu remembered that Liu Xinsheng first heard about the victory of the revolutionary army in Dan Pool, and even spoke politely to him.

"If he really gives it, I dare to accept it. But comrades have been working hard for two consecutive nights, and they must be well recomed today. Wuchang's first righteousness was successful, and the reward should have been done last night, but he was in a hurry to cross the river and was delayed.

"It's been a good fight these two days, and there's nothing hard." Lv Zhongqiu smiled. Because of the dark circles under his eyes hanging up late, he showed a tired physical state, but he was full of spirit. As a soldier, what could be happier than winning the battle?

"The reward of the whole army is a must. I have decided to hold an award ceremony for the meritorious comrades tomorrow." With both material and spiritual rewards, Li wants to establish the honor of the army. Also, how is Li Xiping's action in Hanyang? Is everything going well?"

"With the absolutely powerful threat of force, peacefully restore Hanyang." Lv Zhongqiu took out a telegram and gave it to Li Xiang.

Li wanted to scan the message casually and shook the piece of paper in his hand. "He gave me this paper and it's over. Aren't you ready to come over?"

Li Xiang has developed momentum in the past two days. With a casual question, Lv Zhongqiu seemed a little flustered. Come on, come on. After shaking the phone, he crossed the river. Now he should be almost at Liu's Garden.

"I'll just ask, what's so nervous about you?" Li wanted to see Lv Zhongqiu's nervous smile and said that Lv Zhongqiu's sweat unconsciously came out in the refreshing autumn.

The prosperity of Hankou is full of the taste of old Shanghai movies. There are old-fashioned trams that have arrived and driven, and there are also many classic cars. There are a lot of people who buy cigarettes, matches, newspapers, shoeshine shoes, tilas, and beggars. The advertising faction of the giant deputy's modern girl also hung on the top floor of the foreign building. In fact, the prosperity of Hankou at this moment is not inferior to the port city in Europe. But the wealth brought by the prosperity here is under the control of foreigners. Li wanted to fight with Liu Xin, but he just got some leftovers.

This is the land of China, Li Xiang said to himself more than once.

The luxurious Liu's garden is in front of you, and Liu's garden is the top of its name in the south of the Yangtze River. Although it is not as prominent as Yuan Shikai's Yangshou Garden, it has a different charm in the south of the Yangtze River.

Li Xiang did not come for the first time. He walked side by side with Liu Xinsheng, but Liu Xinsheng intentionally or unintentionally slowed down half a step, half a shoulder behind Li Xiang. Liu Xinsheng was not like this before. The business transactions between the two were on an equal footing. Seeing Liu Xinsheng now, a trace of ability flashed in Li Xiang's heart. Maybe he is holding a strong soldier now, and he really has some high power.

Walking through the gurgling bridge, even if it is late autumn, you can enjoy the infinite scenery in this garden, which shows that this garden is full of ingenuity.

Li Xiang stood under the fiery red maple tree, and somehow Liu Xinsheng also stopped and silently waited for Li Xiang to react. Seeing the silent Liu Xinsheng, he suddenly had a sense of irritability. How could he suddenly become so few speakers? On the way here, Lv Zhongqiu, who usually laughed and scolded with him, suddenly became afraid of himself, even Liu Xinsheng, who usually called himself. At first, I couldn't help being a little complacent, but now there is a emptiness in my heart for no reason. The cruel law of balance in the world, what you get is what you will lose.

Li Xiang's spirit in an instant has disappeared, but he lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Liu, you and I are friends of the New Year! You are honest in your business and loyal to your friends. I cherish the friendship between you and me. In any case, we are all friends. Don't alienate each other for anything.

Liu Xinsheng slowly turned away from the head that pretended to look at the scenery, and carefully stared at the big man who has now led the party. He was so young and capable, guarding today's achievements, but without any pride, and his eyes were as clear as ever. How far can such a young man go? The future is unlimited.

Liu Xinsheng looked up to the sky and sighed, "Brother Li, it may be the last time I call you like this. I know that your ambition is higher than the sky, and I also believe that you have this ability. You know, when you take this road, you can't turn back. You have to go down alone. You can't have too much care. It's a burden for you and a burden for others. You can't bear it, and others dare not bear it. When you pay attention, your concern is your weakness and the object of your enemy's every means. I know this day won't be too far away. I really don't want to be too close to you. I'm afraid! Your enemy will be very strong. Although he can't deal with you, he can deal with me.

Li Xiang was smiling slightly, slowly stiff, and finally cloudy. Liu Xinsheng is right. He is unable to protect the people around him until he realizes his ideals. Li thought of the last lonely Taizu, the desolation behind a generation of great people.

Do you give up now and give up the hard-won ideals? It's impossible. Li Xiang is not a saint. He has tasted the power in his hand. He really doesn't want to let it go like this. Maybe after China's independence, he is tired and wants to rest. Let's talk about it then. He is willing to undertake the obligation to save the country and the people. Now that I have been fighting for a long time, I have also raised some murderous spirit. I am thinking that I will meet the heroes of the world and play a game of hegemony in the world. Li wants to be very unaccustomed to the weak style of the capitalist revolutionary party. He is thinking about saving the country and the people, but he wants to fight with Yuan Shikai, a fat man.

Li wanted to shake his head. Did he read too many time-travel novels or the remaining feudal ideas? After traveling here, I finally found friends, slowly estranged one by one, and I was still in the mood to think about these messy things.

Li Xiang saw the fiery red leaves floating in front of his eyes, drifting away with the waves, and his left hand stretched out in front of him, but it was irreparable. Really irreparable?"

Liu Xinsheng's faint tone, "It's too cold to be high."
