Another chapter and a cultural lesson
The brick kiln was very dilapidated, and it felt like a large tomb to Gao Yuyan.
There were some dry wormwood at the entrance of the brick kiln, and it was dark inside.
If it were summer, these wormwoods would have grown extremely lush and charming. Wouldn't a vixen suddenly come out of them? Gao Yuyan, who has a rich imagination, immediately thought of "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio". She was so frightened by her imagination that she couldn't help but tremble. No wonder the two people refused to come in.
She quickly glanced at Shang Zhen, and Shang Zhen also looked very cautious, raising his feet high and lowering his feet to the ground, as if he was afraid of disturbing the goblin inside.
This undoubtedly made Gao Yuyan more worried.
However, next, Gao Yuyan realized that she was wrong, just because Shang Zhen had already said: "Be careful, don't step on the wormwood. It will be bad if outsiders see people entering here."
Just when Gao Yuyan thought about it, she saw that Shang Zhen only took two steps and disappeared at the entrance of the dark brick cave.
Shang Zhen's actions undoubtedly gave Gao Yuyan courage, and she followed suit.
In fact, the brick kiln was not as dark as expected. After getting used to the dimness inside, you could see almost anything inside, so naturally there wouldn't be any goblins.
After observing the situation of the small brick kiln, Shang Zhen sat cross-legged in the darkness next to the entrance of the cave, with the twenty-gun box cannon placed on his lap.
Gao Yuyan was still somewhat worried about the brick kiln. She didn't dare to stay too far away from Shang Zhen, so she sat opposite Shang Zhen.
Shang Zhen's eyes naturally turned to the outside of the brick kiln, but Gao Yuyan's eyes naturally did not fall on Shang Zhen.
Shang Zhen was a man of few words, and he didn't care that Gao Yuyan was looking at him up and down.
The two of them stayed like this quietly for half an hour. Finally, Gao Yuyan broke the silence, but she chanted in a very low voice: "The silver saddle shines on the white horse, rustling like a shooting star.
Kill one person in ten steps and leave no trace in a thousand miles.
Hello.
When I was leisurely passing by Xinling to drink, I took off my sword and stretched my knees forward. "
"Huh?" Shang Zhen couldn't help but look back at Gao Yuyan.
Since Gao Yuyan's voice when reciting poems was very low, Shang Zhen only half-understood what he heard. However, what caught Shang Zhen's mind the most was the phrase "kill a person in ten steps".
Shang Zhen is a soldier. It cannot be said that he is interested in killing people, but at least he is more sensitive to killing people than ordinary people.
"Are you a commander?" Gao Yuyan asked Shang Zhen again.
"Consider him a company commander." Shang Zhen answered casually and then asked, "Can everyone in your family memorize poetry?"
Gao Yuyan said "hmm" and then raised her voice slightly and said, "I think you look like a hero sitting here now!"
"Hero?" Shang Zhen was surprised again. He understood what the hero meant, but he didn't know how Gao Yuyan connected himself with the hero.
"This poem was written by Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty." Gao Yuyan explained. She was worried that Shang Zhen wouldn't understand, so she explained in detail, "It talks about a great knight who has great martial arts and specializes in doing chivalrous and righteous things. , you can kill an enemy with very quick movements.
After he killed all his enemies, he left far away without announcing how much he had done, as if he had never been here, and there were only legends about him in the world, but no trace of him.
And where is he at this time? He is sitting cross-legged like you, with tea in front of him, but on his knees is the sharp blade he uses to kill the enemy, and he is also holding a short gun like you. "
Gao Yuyan's speaking voice is very nice, and her voice is not entirely Northeastern accent, presumably because she has lived in the south for a long time.
But even though she tried to explain it in simple terms, it still had a bookish air.
Listening to Gao Yuyan's explanation, Shang Zhen couldn't help but look at the box cannon at the crook of his knee, with a smile on his face, and said: "Let you put it like this, it's a bit similar, but I'm not what Hero, I’m just a soldier.”
At the mention of Xiaobing, Shang Zhen's eyes flashed before his comrades who had died in battle, including Li Fushun, Hu Biao, Lao Huotou, Wang Zhuang, Er Hanzi, as well as the famous and unknown members of the Northeast Army and other Chinese factions. soldier.
Shang Zhen is no longer the literate soldier he was before.
People are growing up, and most people will always seem to suddenly understand many truths at a certain period or moment in the process of growing up, which is to establish a world for adults.
Of course, there are also a very small number who never grow up, and that is what later generations call "Mama's babies."
"Kill a person in ten steps, leaving no trace for a thousand miles. When the matter is over, leave behind, leaving no body or name behind", that is a legendary figure with the aura of a hero.
But Shang Zhen knew that he was not, no matter how good he was in fighting, he was just a soldier, an ant who was lucky enough to survive the gap between his toes when God's big foot stepped down on him.
Gao Yuyan looked at Shang Zhen curiously. She didn't know what Shang Zhen was thinking.
She could tell that Shang Zhen was very young, not even a few years older than her.
This person is very good at fighting, very polite to others, this person is also very thoughtful, and he doesn't like to make great achievements.
Suddenly she felt that Shang Zhen should be a person with a lot of stories, and her curiosity became more and more intense.
So, she began to recite in a low voice: "When I was drunk, I lit up the lamp and read the sword. I dreamed of blowing the trumpet in the company camp. Eight hundred miles away, my subordinates were burned. Fifty strings were sounded outside the Great Wall. The soldiers were ordered in autumn on the battlefield."
Shang Zhen was attracted by Gao Yuyan's chanting and took back his thoughts, and then he was attracted by Gao Yuyan's "poetry".
Soldiers are destined to like military works, and only boys and girls in the ivory tower who have never experienced the world will like romance.
Gao Yuyan smiled slightly when she saw Shang Zhen began to listen carefully again, and then recited: "Lie in a lonely village and don't feel sorry for yourself.
Shangsi is the country's garrison platform.
Lying down at night listening to the wind and rain,
The iron horse and the glacier come into my dream. "
The iron horse glaciers fell into sleep, this is also a matter of being a soldier, Shang Zhen pondered.
At this time, Gao Yuyan began to tell: "Whether it is Xin Qiji, the author of the poem, or Lu You, the author of the poem, they are both from the Southern Song Dynasty." However, as soon as she said this, she asked Shang Zhendao, "Do you know the Southern Song Dynasty? ?”
Gao Yuyan really underestimated Shang Zhen, but Shang Zhen also behaved well. He thought for a moment and asked: "Isn't it the dynasty of Prince Yue?"
"Yes!" Gao Yuyan then realized that he had made a mistake. The story of Yue Fei's resistance to the Jin Dynasty was widely circulated among the people.
"Our Han people's territory was occupied by the Jin Kingdom, and then the Southern Song Dynasty came. People with lofty ideals in the Southern Song Dynasty wanted to regain the lost territory, so no matter Lu You or Xin Qiji, they hoped that the court could regain the lost territory.
This situation is the same as the three northeastern provinces being taken over by little devils.
Lu You also dreamed of regaining his lost territory, so Iron Horse Binghe came into his dream.
Xin Qiji was both a lyricist and a martial artist. He once led dozens of people into the Jin army's camp and captured the traitors alive.
Of course, according to the current theory, the traitor is a traitor.
The reason why I memorize these two poems is because the Song Dynasty at that time was very similar to ours now.
Later, the Southern Song Dynasty destroyed the country without regaining the lost land, but we are different. At least we can still fight against the little devils. I think you can also become a hero like Prince Yue Fei! "
Shang Zhen saw Gao Yuyan looking at him with eager eyes and even a hint of worship. He couldn't help but smile bitterly. How could he compare with Yue Fei?
However, he was very happy to listen to the poems Gao Yuyan recited to him, so he said: "You know so much, tell me more."
"What are you talking about?" Gao Yuyan asked.
"Say whatever you want." Shang Zhen replied.
"Oh." Gao Yuyan responded, and then really started talking, while Shang Zhen listened to Gao Yuyan's story and observed the movement outside the brick kiln.
Gao Yuyan did know a lot, she told Shang Zhen a lot and it was very complicated.
Such as family, country and world.
For example, in the Tang Dynasty, China was the center of the world. At that time, it was a majestic China waiting for congratulations from all directions.
For example, the backwardness of a nation is not only the backwardness of science and technology, but also includes the ignorance of people.
For example, the root of a nation is actually culture and belief.
For example, Japan originally wanted to come to China to worship, but after they developed industrial civilization, China could no longer do so.
etc.
Shang Zhen listened very carefully during Gao Yuyan's narration, and of course he did not forget to continue to observe the activities outside the brick kiln.
If time and space change, future generations will find it strange to see such a scene. The reason is naturally that future generations will understand what Gao Yuyan said.
But after all, people cannot travel through time. Never underestimate a person's spiritual pursuit. Even those people in later generations who think they are very educated can only feel their own humbleness when facing real masters.
Shang Zhen originally just instinctively felt that he wanted to fight the Japanese to the end and return to his hometown, but now under Gao Yuyan's narration, he felt as if a brand new window had been opened in front of him. Next, he vaguely felt that this world seemed different from the world he knew before?
