Chapter 1062, Reading Newspaper

For the Yinglings, everyone quarreled with Ren Xiaosu, but they first recognized the premise that Ren Xiaosu was the next commander of the Northwest Army, and they never denied that the other party represented the future of the Northwest.

So after getting angry, everyone would calm down and seriously think about Ren Xiaosu’s proposal.

But just like what Commander Li said, if more than 200,000 Yingling army all become one person’s private army, then it is really hard to say where the Northwest will go in the future.

Therefore, for such an important decision, everyone would never make a choice easily.

In the following days, Ren Xiaosu still came to tear the newspaper every day, and the Yinglings were angry and cursed as usual.

This behavior of Ren Xiaosu’s insistence on mourning the Yinglings made many of the wall residents feel touched, and slowly, there were even people who followed Ren Xiaosu’s example of coming to the Bronze Bell Plaza every day to walk in a circle.

Of course, the ones who had this kind of daily free time were basically old people.

At first, the spirits cursed Ren Xiaosu for being shameless, but then the spirits suddenly realized that as people came to mourn them every day, their spiritual will instead became more and more solidified.

Realizing that they were originally only able to stay in this world because of the mourning of the Northwesterners, this showed that the mourning of ordinary people would indeed have an effect on them.

It was still a short period of time, so people couldn’t tell what exactly would happen to this influence, but it was always a better direction, right?

Just as Ren Xiaosu was preparing to continue living this leisurely life of two points and one line, Xu Xianchu suddenly came to inform Ren Xiaosu that Commander Zhang’s business had been completed, and the two of them would depart tomorrow!

Ren Xiaosu felt a little sorry in his heart, the more than 200,000 spirits were not abducted by himself in the end.

The next morning at 6 o’clock in the morning, Zhang Jinglin early in the copper bell square waiting for him, only to see Zhang Jinglin changed into a military uniform, carrying a marching backpack, standing in the morning thin fog.

Ren Xiaosu greeted him and smiled, “I’ve never seen Mr. Zhang dressed like this, what’s in the backpack?”

“This hike is planned for two months, so bring some change of clothes and rations to eat on the way,” Zhang Jinglin explained, “You didn’t bring anything.”

“Don’t worry,” Ren Xiaosu said with a smile, “I enter the wilderness just like going home, no difference.”

“Alright,” Zhang Jinglin nodded and said.

“On the contrary, Mr. Zhang, don’t you need to bring some bodyguards with you?” Ren Xiaosu curiously said, “Aren’t you afraid of encountering danger when you go beyond the northwest?”

Zhang Jinglin said calmly, “With you, the Wall Destroyer, by my side, what do I have to fear.”

“That’s true,” Ren Xiaosu said.

The two of them set off from the Bronze Bell Plaza, with no one seeing them off or witnessing it all.

Only Ren Xiaosu knew that more than 200,000 Ying Spirits were gazing at them, watching them leave.

“By the way,” Zhang Jinglin said, “I’ve heard that you’ve been coming to mourn the pioneers of the Northwest Army every day during this time? Why?”

Ren Xiaosu glanced back at the Bronze Bell Square behind him, then said seriously, “Because I admire the pioneers’ spirit of dedicating their lives to the Northwest, and you know, Mr. Zhang, that I’m a rather selfish person, so when I hear about their glorious deeds, I can’t help but be moved. I’ve been coming over to talk to them every day over this period of time, as if they were sheltering me by my side, living a very fulfilling and secure life.”

Zhang Jinglin froze for a moment, he didn’t expect Ren Xiaosu to give such a reply, in his impression, Ren Xiaosu didn’t seem to be a person who was moved by hearing a bit of honorable deeds ah.

However, he felt that this was a good thing, ever since Ren Xiaosu returned to the Northwest this time, she had always been able to give him some surprises.

Zhang Jinglin smiled, “Have a heart.”

However, just as Zhang Jinglin felt doubly pleased in his heart, the entire square was filled with sounds that ordinary people could not hear.

“Bah!”

“Bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah!”

“This brat can’t even blush when he says such things in front of us!”

“Shameless to the core!”

“Zhang Jinglin you widen your eyes and see, this kid is not a good thing at all! A belly full of bad water!”

At times like this, the Yinglings suddenly had the feeling that they used to listen to storytellers telling stories, for example, when people heard a story in which there was a treacherous minister disguised as a loyal minister who wanted to plot against the loyal and good people, and the listeners knew that the bastard was a bad guy but the protagonist didn’t, so the listeners could not wait to dive headfirst into that story and warn the protagonist that he must see this treacherous minister… …

As Zhang Jinglin and Ren Xiaosu walked farther and farther away, the Yinglings slowly became discouraged: ”You guys say that if we were summoned by this kid into the Yingling Temple, wouldn’t we be able to physically beat him up? If that’s really possible, I’m willing to accept his summoning!”

“Me too!”

……

The sun rose in the east, spreading its blazing rays across the entire northwest.

When the sun dropped to the west, the evening afterglow reflected the Copper Bell Square into a golden look, like a golden feather in covering the ground.

At 7:00 p.m., a thirteen or fourteen year old boy suddenly came to the square holding a newspaper, then found a place to sit down and read the newspaper word by word.

“On May 28th, Wang Clan’s group army broke through Zhou Clan’s northern defense line blockade and successfully took Zhou Clan’s abandoned barrier 71 in just two hours, at around 5pm, Wang Clan’s group army once again advanced to the south and is expected to arrive at barrier 73 tomorrow …… ”

“Northwest system reform presents a prosperous scene, people in the past are reluctant to carry a hoe to plant, but now the barren mountain is a treasure mountain, everyone lives in peace and works happily …… ”

The Yinglings felt a little strange under the bronze bell, why did this little boy suddenly run to the square to read the newspaper? What’s the situation?

But everyone did not have time to think too much, anyway, someone read the newspaper, then they just listen.

This is better than reading the newspaper as if we were at war, right?

For seven days in a row, the little boy came every day and didn’t leave until he finished reading the newspaper, and the spirits began to look forward to 7 o’clock every night, and the ordinary-looking little boy’s face became cute in their eyes.

I’m afraid the kid was the cutest person in the entire Northwest, in the eyes of the Inners.

Just everyone was curious, why would a small child suddenly come to read the newspaper, was it to practice his eloquence?

Until the seventh day, suddenly a middle-aged woman came to the square, she saw the child and asked curiously, “Son, why did you run here? What are you doing?”

The little boy seemed a little flustered to see his mom coming, “No, not doing anything.”

“What are you holding in your hand?” The middle-aged woman jerked the newspaper away from the child’s hand, then said suspiciously, “What are you doing with today’s newspaper, where did you get this newspaper from? Did you pick it up?”

A Hope Media newspaper costs two dollars, but the child’s monthly allowance is only ten dollars, so she didn’t think it was bought by the child himself.

The child hesitated for a moment and explained, “I bought this.”

“You bought it? Where did you get the money?” The middle-aged woman froze.

“The Major gave it to me,” the little child explained, “He said that as long as I came over to read the newspaper every day, he would give me three hundred dollars of pocket money a month, and if I could stick to it every day without interruption, he would give me an additional one thousand dollars after a year! But he has requirements, you can’t come during school hours, you have to wait for the evening after school, and he also requires me to get more than 90 points in each of my schoolwork so that I can get that one thousand dollars.”

The middle-aged woman froze, her family lives next door to the guest house, opened a small laundromat there, the Major would send his clothes to be washed every day, during the period with his own child is considered to know.

But she did not expect that before the Major General left, he even made such a deal with his own child.

The middle-aged woman froze for a long time: ”I said how you came home late these days, I thought you were playing outside. Just did the Major say why he made you do this?”

The child replied, “I also asked him why he wanted to read the newspaper at the Bronze Bell Square, and he said that the martyrs died protecting their homeland, so they have the right to know how prosperous the homeland they were protecting is today, and this is what they deserve.”

The middle-aged woman pondered for a moment, then smiled and rubbed the child’s head, “Then it’s not a big deal for you to tell us, can your father and I stop you? Alright, from now on, every day you read the newspaper before coming home for dinner, the family will be an hour late in cooking dinner from now on.”
