Chapter 25 Screenwriter

Chen Wen was silent for a moment and announced the end of the show. Among the crowd that ended, Chen Wen did not notice the figure of the man from Taizhou who must come every day, but once again saw Li Ruixin.

I'll go find him tomorrow afternoon. I'll hurry up and talk to Li Ruixin today. If I can get it, there will be an additional cavalry general.

"Brother Li, do you have time today?"

When Li Ruixin heard Chen Wen's voice, he immediately frowned and replied: "Mr. Chen is a scholar. What should I do with a martial artist like me?"

Where did I offend him?

Chen Wen thought for a while and smiled and said, "I'm not hiding it from Brother Li, my family lives in Northern Zhili for many years. I heard that Brother Li is from Liaodong, so I want to get closer."

The same background of northerners, in the Siming Mountain, Zhejiang region, the environment around them is naturally more friendly.

But after hearing this, Li Ruixin suddenly became excited. "Mr. Chen, I have heard of the Battle of Hunhe that you mentioned, and I also know that some Liao troops are unreasonable in their work. However, I hope you understand that not all Liao people are cowards, at least not Xianfather, Xian brother and I, nor Jingguo Duke!"

The Duke of Jingguo that Li Ruixin mentioned was not Yuan Zongdi, the former general of the Shun Army, who was conferred by Emperor Yongli, but Huang Degong, who was conferred by Emperor Hongguang.

It turned out that it was because of this that Chen Wen suddenly felt like he was shooting himself in the foot.

Seeing that the crowd who came to listen to the ancients had dispersed, Chen Wen's gaze broke away from Li Ruixin's resentful gaze, and turned to look up at the sky, as if he was recalling.

"I remember the first time I talked about this in ancient times. I once said that when I was young, I was unbearable and had no interest in studying. This is not a humble statement, but a fact."

Li Ruixin, who was waiting for the answer, looked at Chen Wen inexplicably. He had no idea what the person in front of him wanted to say.

"At that time, I only knew to hang out with my neighbors and friends every day, and not seeking progress. After the enlightenment, I became even more aggressive. Once, I took advantage of the time when my husband was napping and burned my beard."

Chen Wen has never done anything about burning his beard because when he was in school, most of his teachers were women, but there were some fun things all day long, especially after getting in touch with computers, he also occasionally missed classes.

"One day when I was eight years old, my father told me that if I wanted a guest at home, I would stay for a while and asked me to be honest. I didn't care about it when I was young. It was not until the day when the guest came in that I realized that the friend and his daughter who were from my father who lived in Gaoyang, who was the one I married. "

When he was in school, Chen Wen once liked a girl, but he was not interested in him. However, this did not prevent Chen Wen from making up stories for Li Ruixin as a person who had experienced it.

"That day, she stood in front of me, within reach, but I seemed to be stupid and couldn't say anything. She was an understanding girl. She knew a lot and could quote scriptures. Although most of them were not very profound allusions, she always attracted the praise of her elders. But even so, she never showed off in front of me, because she knew I didn't understand and she didn't want to embarrass me. And in front of her, I felt ashamed of myself for the first time."

Li Ruixin listened quietly to all this without any thought of turning around and leaving, although he still didn't understand why Chen Wen said this.

"The next year, her father brought her to my house again. She was still standing in front of me, still within reach, and I still didn't know what to say. Although I knew that she was destined to be my wife from the moment she was born, and her father brought her to my house just to allow us to cultivate some feelings, I felt that I was not worthy of her."

"That year, after she left, I began to study hard, but I couldn't read any books about the imperial examination. Until one day, when my husband talked about Yue Wang's "Manjianghong", I finally realized that I read and read. Even if I didn't take the imperial examination, I could read history books, so that she and I could have a common language."

In the modern impression, ancient China was strict with morals and men and women were extremely defensive. However, there were many love stories about men chasing women and women chasing men, which gave the vast number of screenwriters of later generations endless imagination space. However, Chen Wen's story is a hodgepodge, because he had no experience in love.

"Another year, I was ten years old, and she was ten years old. We sat in the pavilion in the back garden and talked about everything, and in the study, we talked until the night was approaching. She told me that as a scholar, there was something more glorious than a title on the Golden List, and that there was a history book over there. She told me that even if I passed the top scorer, I would be forgotten one day, but a history book with detailed historical materials could be passed down to future generations."

"Since then, this has become my dream. For this reason, I have been studying history books every day, and she has come to live for a month every year. Every month, I have thought hard, writing hard, grinding her bare hands, and adding fragrance to her red sleeves. We know that such days will last until the twelve years of Chongzhen, because that year is the wedding day, and from then on we will become one forever."

Everyone has dreams, even if it cannot be realized, everyone has love, even if it is just a dream. Chen Wen saw in later literary film and television works that once these two beautiful things are integrated, one plus one will inevitably be greater than two.

"However, all this is just a dream for me. In the 11th year of Chongzhen, the Tartars broke through the pass and entered. The troops stationed in Gaoyang County fled and left behind a city of people. Soon, the Tartars surrounded Gaoyang County. At that time, the imperial teacher Sun Ge Lao, who had the opportunity to escape to Baoding Prefecture, was indignant of the cowardice of the official army, and resolutely stayed to advance and retreat with the people. His family was a friend of the Sun family, so he also stayed."

"In that battle, there was not even half of the official army on the top of the city, only Sun Ge Lao's descendants, family, neighbors, friends and the people of Gaoyang County. Standing behind them was the 76-year-old Sun Chengzong, Sun Ge Lao."

"The battle ended soon. The Tartars captured Gaoyang County. After Sun Ge Lao was captured, he was not humiliated. The male members of the family and Yue died in battle at the top of the city, and all the women jumped into the well and committed suicide. However, my hired wife is an exception."

Hearing this, Li Ruixin couldn't help but panic. A beautiful story eventually became a tragedy, but he didn't want the story to become even more tragic, because his family was also one of the tragedies caused by this troubled times.

"After Gao Yang fell, I spent a lot of money to hire someone to find out the news. A month later, the person who found out the news brought a servant who escaped from the Yue family and rushed to my house with a coffin, and it was my hired wife."

After saying that, Chen Wen turned around with his poor acting skills, wiped his eyes, and took a deep breath, as if suppressing tears to continue to flow out, then turned around again and looked up at the sky.

"She was lying there, wearing the dress she was about to use for the wedding, so quiet that she seemed to fall asleep. And the gap caused by a dagger on her chest was particularly obvious. I thought, it should be the dagger I gave her. Until then, I finally realized that when the city broke, she put on her dressing table in advance, sat in front of the dressing table, and sent the dagger into her heart."

"The next day, I buried her in the family's ancestral tomb in the name of my wife. After everyone left, I took out the history books we wrote together and burned them in front of her grave, because without her, this dream would have no meaning."

Seeing that Li Ruixin had been infected by the sadness he knitted, Chen Wen said to Li Ruixin:

"I have never told anyone this story, even Wang Jingluo has never known it. Brother Li, whether you are a coward is not by saying it, but by doing it. I have heard of your deeds, and the deeds of your father and brother, and I know more about Duke Jingguo's loyalty and unyieldingness. I believe you are not those waiting."

Seeing that Li Ruixin's face had calmed down a little, Chen Wen suddenly asked loudly: "But do you think this is enough, right?"

In the shocked gaze in front of him, Chen Wen continued as if releasing his anger: "I know you have been looking for your mother, sister-in-law and sister for many years, and you also know that you often go down the mountain to attack the Green Camp soldiers. Do you think that you can be worthy of your father, brother and Duke Jingguo's spirit in heaven?"

"The traitor Liu Liangzuo, who killed Duke Jingguo, is still alive, Tian Xiong, who betrayed Emperor Hongguang, and Ma Degong is still alive. These bastards who have ruined your family are still alive in a rich and graceful manner. Maybe you plan to imitate Yu Rang as if he assassinated Zhao Xiangzi, and you can't remember that there are people like you in this world before you find a chance to kill them. But is this enough?"

Seeing Li Ruixin widened his eyes, as if he had been guessed something. Chen Wen couldn't help but be shocked. Did he really plan to do this? But the history books say that Liu Liangzuo and others died. Is the man in front of him also dead in the catastrophe more than a month later?

Putting aside these meaningless random thoughts, Chen Wen continued to ask sternly: "Why did Liu Liangzuo kill Duke Jingguo? Tian Xiong, why did Ma Degong betray Duke Jingguo and betray Emperor Hongguang? And why did your family leave their hometowns and wander in the pass? Have you ever thought about it over the years?!"

Men don’t cry easily because they have not reached the sad place.

Looking at Li Ruixin's angry eyes that were gradually gushing out of tears, Chen Wen suddenly felt that he was a little too much, but he knew very well that at this moment, he was already on the string and had to fire it.

"No matter whether you have thought about it or not, I think it clearly. In September of the tenth year of Chongzhen, the Tartars broke through the pass and entered. Emperor Lie was promoted to the governor Xuan, Da, Shanxi military affairs Lu Gongxiang to supervise the world to serve as the king's army. Governor Lu is a well-known soldier in the world. He rarely suffered defeat in both the Tartars and the bandits. This appointment is a success."

"When Governor Lu came to Beijing to face the Holy Emperor, he insisted on fighting the Tartars in front of Emperor Lie. In the end, Yang Sichang, the Grand Secretary of the Lord of War, did not tolerate it. So the traitor Yang Sichang colluded with Chen Xinjia, the Minister of War, and Gao Qiqian, the eunuch of the army, to plot against Governor Lu. After Governor Lu sent troops, Gao Qiqian led the Guanning army alone, and Chen Xinjia refused to give the officers and soldiers of the three towns of Shanxi received by Governor Lu. Seeing this, Wang Pu, the general of Datong Town, immediately fled."

"Even so, Governor Lu still led the officers and soldiers of Xuanfu Town and Shanxi Town to pursue the Tartars. Governor Lu led his troops to Julu and finally caught up with the Tartars. Governor Lu sent Yang Tinglin, the head of the Ministry of War, to ask for help. At this time, Gao Qiqin, who was responsible for commanding the Guanning Army, plundered the people less than fifty miles away, and ignored Governor Lu's request for help."

"When Governor Lu chased to Haoshui Bridge, he was eventually surrounded by Tartars. During the battle, the generals of Xuanfu and the second towns of Shanxi fled at the last minute, and Governor Lu died in a fierce battle. After Governor Lu's death, tens of thousands of Guanning troops were defeated without fighting."

"I once thought that if Yang Sichang did not frame Governor Lu, if Chen Xinjia distributed food and salary, if Gao Qiqian led the Guanning army to accompany Governor Lu, if the three towns of Xuanda did not escape from the formation, if all this did not happen, then Governor Lu would definitely be able to rescue Gaoyang County, neither Sun Ge Lao nor Yue's family would die at the hands of the Tartars!"

"I know very well that these treacherous and shameless charity, these dog officers and soldiers who plunder the people but only flee when facing the Tartars, these Tartars who killed thousands of swords, they killed my wife, they made me abandon my dreams, they disturbed the world, and made my father die in depression."

When the story was heard, Li Ruixin could no longer hold back the tears in his eyes. He did not cry for Chen Wen's experience, but for leaving his hometown over the years, for his family who died and separated in this chaotic world, and for his revenge until today.

He squatted on the ground, hugged his head and cried loudly, as if he was releasing the grief and resentment that had accumulated in his heart over the years in one breath, and under the dark night, he seemed particularly desolate.

Looking at all this in front of him, Chen Wen knew that he was not far from success. In modern times, many people know that the most close relationship between people is to share the same illness, and he also knows it.

At first, Chen Wen thought that it was a great disadvantage for him to have no archives and interpersonal relationships in this era, but after these days, he suddenly discovered that it was actually more convenient for him to fabricate his resume according to his needs.

After more than ten days of ancient times, Chen Wen found that his eloquence was much stronger than before, and even stronger than the time he was in sales. He even felt that if he had the eloquence he had when he first went to Dalan Mountain, he would never have been led by Wang Jiang so easily and said many things he shouldn't have said.

Chen Wen knew that now, all he had was history and eloquence. History was a resource, and eloquence was a way and means. Better play to these strengths would be his greatest reliance before he led the army alone.

"After burning those historical books, I began to study military books, because I would end this troubled times with my own hands, kill all these dog thieves, and avenge my father and the woman I once loved deeply. I believe that one day I will get what I wish, and for this I am willing to sacrifice myself!"

From the beginning of the ** War to the resistance to the United States and aid Korea, defeating the world's number one major power with a power to be renovated, the Chinese have endured too much humiliation and paid too much blood and tears in those years. The culprit of all this was the Qing Dynasty!

Chen Wen firmly believed that if there were no massacre and ignorance in the Qing Dynasty year after year, and with the hard work and wisdom that the Chinese are famous for, China would not have fallen to the point of being slaughtered by others in hundreds of years.

During these days in Siming Mountain, Chen Wen heard too much of the suffering of this era. He believed that there must be a reason for the taxi to carry him to this era, and this reason was that he would end the suffering of future generations.
