After returning home, Murong Yao sat there staring at the rubbing, thinking hard about what he had missed out. He had been dwelling on the problem of the reversal of the heavenly stems and earthly branches. In fact, there was another problem that he had missed, and that was time! Because the people who entered the Rebirth Valley did not escape from bad luck, they had never considered the time factor. Would there be a time window? Murong Yao listed out the five words of the earthly branch alone. They were Hai, Yin, Chou, Xu, Zi. The corresponding time of Hai was from 21:00 to 23:00 at night; Yin's corresponding time was from 3 am to 5 am; Ugly corresponded to the time between 1 am and 3 am; The corresponding time for Xu was from 19 to 21 in the evening. The corresponding time of the word was from 23:00 am to 1:00 am. These five times were from midnight to dawn, except for the early hours of the morning. Hunters in the mountains usually went out early in the morning and went to bed early at night. No hunter would go out in the middle of the night. This meant that no one would be able to enter the mountain during these five days. Thinking of this, Murong Yao was excited.,
The meaning of the heavenly stems was easy to guess. Two hours meant two hours, a total of 120 minutes. There were ten heavenly stems, so on average, there were 12 minutes. However, in ancient times, the smallest unit of time was the quarter, which was 15 minutes. Thus, the quarter was the only unit of time here. Hai Yi should be at 21:30 PM, Yin Jia should be at 3:15 AM, Chou Wu should be at 2:15 AM, Xu Geng should be at 20:45 PM, and Zi Ding should be at exactly midnight. During these five days, no one would carry a torch and rush into the valley. Thinking of this, Murong Yao felt that it was almost the same as the truth. The only thing that was missing was to go to the Reincarnation Valley to verify it. However, it was already winter now, so he could only keep this thought in his heart and wait until next spring. At this time, Murong Yao felt that it was only a matter of time before he revealed the secret of going into the deep valley. However, what kind of power could control this window on time was definitely a bigger mystery. This was a series of riddles from low level to high level. He could only deal with them when the time came.
On the 12th of December, the news of Wuhu's fall reached Qingyang. This time, everyone felt that the wolf had come. Qingyang's cave door was wide open.
A heavy snowfall came unexpectedly and lasted for the entire night. Murong Yao woke up in the morning and saw the mountains and plains covered in silver. It was as if they were mourning the citizens of Wuhu who had died under the Japanese army's bayonet. In the morning, the snow that was drifting in the air began to lighten. During breakfast, Wan 'er and Tong' er didn't seem to be in a good mood. Murong Yao knew that Zhao Ming Yuan was trapped in Wuhu City, which was occupied by the Japanese army. The two girls were worried about their father's safety! "Don't worry!" Murong Yao comforted them. When I was in Wuhu the day before yesterday, I talked to Uncle Zhao about what to do if the Japanese army came. You two coming to Qingyang is also part of this arrangement. Uncle Zhao will protect himself. In two days, we will also go to Wuhu to investigate. It's snowing today. Don't go to the county town. I'll take you to the mountains to play when the snow stops in the afternoon.”Hearing Murong Yao's words of comfort, the two girls 'hearts calmed down a little. When she heard the wish to bring them out to play in the afternoon, her gloomy face finally brightened up a little. During this period of time, Murong Yao had been busy. When they came to Three Family Village, Murong Yao did not accompany them for a day. Today, Brother Murong was finally going to play with them!
There was a long trail of footprints in the snow. Murong Yao walked in front, and two girls wearing red wool hats and red cotton clothes followed behind. Wan 'er and Tong' er were moving very fast and were about to catch up to Murong Yao. Suddenly, Murong Yao felt a chill on his neck. Two snowflakes were stuffed into his neck. Murong Yao naturally wouldn't let himself be killed. For a moment, the three of them started a snowball fight on the snowy ground. For some reason, Murong Yao's hidden weapons skills were not up to standard today. They were not even close to the two girls. The snowballs kept blooming on his body and head. The snowball fight only stopped when Murong Yao begged for mercy. After that, the three of them started to build a snowman again. Murong Yao said,""Let's compete in building a snowman each!”"Let's build a snowman together," the two girls said.”The three of them worked together and quickly piled up a snow pile. Murong Yao rolled a big snowball and placed it on the snow pile to become the head of the snowman. He used a branch to stick his eyes, mouth, and nose. Tong 'er then tore off the scarf around Murong Yao's neck and wrapped it around the snowman. "Big Brother Murong, this is you!" Wan 'er said.”
Murong Yao examined it for a while,"Isn't this a little short?"”
"Not short! You're kneeling!"
Murong Yao was a little depressed. This Young Master was handsome, handsome, and loved by everyone! Why do you make me look like Qin Hui? Fortunately, in order to make these two girls happy, it's not a big deal for me to suffer a little.
Wan 'er and Tong' er held hands and stood in front of the snowman."Big Brother Murong, what do you think this looks like?”
"Apologize?" The two of them shook their heads.
"Kneel and pay respects?" The two shook their heads again.
"To accompany the two young ladies?" The two of them held back their laughter and shook their heads.
Murong Yao spread her hands and shook her head.”
"Silly brother, you're proposing marriage!”
The two rings of bells were like a gust of wind that blew into the distance.
Murong Yao was stunned for a moment before he chased after her.
Time passed very quickly. An afternoon passed just like that. Amidst the cheerful laughter, Murong Yao used his unique skill. He used snow to beat two wild rabbits and a wild chicken. Three small prey were caught on a tree branch. Wan 'er and Tong' er each held one end of the tree. The group went home for a walk, and Murong Yao followed behind.
Suddenly, the girl in front stopped and pointed at the pine tree beside her. She said softly,"Big Brother Murong, look!"
A small beige squirrel with a big tail was running among the branches of a pine tree. It was looking for pine cones. The pine nuts in the pine cones were the squirrel's favorite. They could eat and snack. The little squirrel did not seem to be afraid when it saw people and continued to play by itself. There were many small animals in the Flaming Mountain. Murong Yao had grown up here and was already used to it. After all, Wan 'er and Tong' er grew up in Wuhu City. They rarely saw such a scene, especially in the winter snow. They would even see small animals playing and looking for food.
Murong Yao asked softly," Do you like it?”
"Yes!"
"Do you want to catch it and raise it for fun?"
The two girls shook their heads firmly."The little squirrel is very happy! This was its home. We're not Japanese, we don't want to invade it.”
Looking at the two kind-hearted girls, Murong Yao thought that he would definitely work hard to protect them in this life and not let them suffer any harm, so that they could live happily in this world!
As soon as they entered the house, the two girls shouted,"Empress, Empress!" Yang Yunyue ran out of the house. My two babies, did you have fun at home?”
Wan 'er and Tong' er raised the prey in their hands."Niangniang, we can still make it if we want to eat the warm pot tonight!”
"There's still time, there's still time! Brother Murong didn't bully you, right?”
"Where? If we were the only ones bullying him, the Empress wouldn't feel bad, right?”
Yang Yunyue smiled and turned around to prepare dinner.
At the same time, at Niu Yunfeng's house. The atmosphere was a little depressing. Niu Yunfeng, Murong Qingshan, and Wei Yiqu sat at the table with heavy expressions.
Niu Yunfeng was the first to speak," Wuhu fell on December 10th. Actually, it wasn't really lost. Although there was no news from Nanjing, they only knew that the battle was still going on, but the outcome was not optimistic. The Japanese were serious this time, and there seemed to be no signs of stopping! Our country and our people are about to face a catastrophe. Things are already developing in the worst direction. All our previous preparations have to be activated! The guerrilla unit has been training for more than ten days. There are 400 people participating in the training this time, and they are all at the back of the Flaming Mountain. This time, it was different from the previous training. The weapons were all real bullets. This batch of concentrated training was originally prepared for a month. The second batch consisted of about 300 people, most of whom were from the Yangtze River. There are not enough people on the ship now, so we can only train them in batches. Some people from the trading company and Old Zhao are also coming to participate in the training. I'm going to put the second batch of them in the back yard. That place was remote! In addition, there are more than forty hunters who have joined our team. Including the ten hunters who came last time, six of them will go back to serve as the backbone and form a team. These hunters had experience living in the mountains and forests. They were all good at fighting against the Japanese. I have never told you about Old Zhai's identity. He used to be a battalion commander of the 19th Route Army. The 19th Route Army is the Guangdong Army. When I was in Huangpu, I got to know him because we were exchanging martial arts skills. He is a layman disciple of the Southern Shaolin Temple. His martial arts are better than mine. Five years ago, the 19th Route Army had suffered a lot during the 8.13 Battle of Songhu. However, he was treated unfairly by society after the incident. In a fit of anger, Old Zhai left the army and joined me. I arranged for him to stay at Huitouping.”
"The 36th Division has taken in nine more people these few days. One of them is an engineer company commander called Li Renguang. During the Songhu War Conference, the 36th Division had suffered heavy casualties. The engineer troops had entered Kuang Jiuxi's regiment as a replacement. None of these nine people are injured. I arranged for them to stay with Kuang Jiuxi. In this batch of training, they found more than 30 good seedlings, mainly hunters. They were good at shooting, so Kuang Jiuxi specially selected them for training. If the next batch still had more people, the two batches would gather together and follow Yao 'er's suggestion. Set up a secret service team to do the tricky things. In addition, 12 people with better culture were selected. Two of them were learning Japanese from Officer Zhu, and the remaining ten were forming an artillery class. Although I don't have a cannon right now, I'm thinking of a way. That's about all the preparation work I've done here. Qingshan, tell me about it.”
Murong Qingshan cleared his throat. The county government is still silent and scheming. A few days ago, Yao 'er spoke at the meeting. I wanted to reprimand him, but now it seems that he was right. A commissioner came over these two days and wanted to pull in a troop. The county party headquarters also supported him. With the current financial resources of the National Government, it was difficult to support the regular troops. Where would they find the money to organize the troops? They asked the local squires to contribute money and manpower, and they even wanted to take the troops away. How was this resisting Japan? He was clearly trying to take over the territory! They also came to find me. Fortunately, our Three Family Village had no big landowners. Without big landowners, there would be no squires. I told them that our Three Family Village only had the village chief and no landowners. No one could pay for it. Everyone lived in one household unless you recruited able-bodied men. However, recruiting able-bodied men also required money. Could the county government provide it? They fell silent after my explanation. They asked about the Four Seas Trading Company again. I told them that there were people in the village who worked in the Four Seas Trading Company, but the trading company was in Wuhu. If you want money, it has nothing to do with the village. I heard that the provincial government is moving to Jinzhai County on the other side of the Dabie Mountains. The county head and the county party secretary are in no mood to do anything. They are panicking and want to save their lives.”
Wei Yiqu said," My situation is simple. The cigarettes in Shanghai haven't been restored yet. We don't have much stock in the first place. We've basically cleared them out recently. Most of the ships in the fleet were hidden in Chaohu Lake and some harbors, waiting for this period of time to pass. Half of the supplies that they had agreed on last time had already gone to Huitouping. No one knew that Old Zhai had handled them alone. The other half was hiding in the mountains to observe the situation. I've already hidden the money. You can use it anytime!”
The three of them chatted for a while and prepared to break up.
At this moment, Wei Yiqu suddenly said,"Gentlemen! It's time to tell the children what I said last time!”
