Oath

  After listening to the child's words, Yang Shuo Ming thought of some historical facts in his current era and couldn't help but feel melancholy.

  In the early 20th century, ninety percent of China's residents were still engaged in agriculture. Due to the worsening national disaster, the rural economy was on the verge of collapse, with tens of millions of farmers struggling at the poverty line. The cruel exploitation and extortion by the government (to pay back the Boxer Indemnity) and the invasion of foreign capital, as well as the continuous natural disasters, further pushed China's rural economy to the brink of collapse. The entire Chinese society was in turmoil, with frequent outbreaks of rice riots and rent resistance, which further intensified social contradictions. As a relatively economically affluent region, Jiangxi Province was considered good, but even in Yuanzhou Prefecture, where Shuanglong Town belonged, there had been anti-rent and anti-donation riots involving thousands of people. The situation in neighboring Hunan and Sichuan provinces was much more severe. Many farmers were unable to make a living, and in desperation, they went up the mountains and became bandits. The reason why the banditry in western Hunan and the Hunan-Guangdong border area was so severe was not without cause.

  Looking at the three children in front of him, Yang Shuoming's heart was bleeding.

  Why would I encounter such children in both past and present eras?

  Yang Shuo Ming returned home when it was almost noon.

  But what Yang Shuo didn't expect was that at home, waiting for him, were not only the restless Huang Yunzhi, but also her male and female classmates, who were the children of local gentry rescued from Luanshi Mountain last time.

  Seeing Yang Shuo Ming return safely, Huang Yunzhi didn't care about the presence of friends and classmates, and rushed into Yang Shuo Ming's arms.

  It was probably the first time they had seen a couple so affectionate and intimate, these young men and women all blushed, the boys' mouths were smiling, while some girls were already giggling, with a hint of envy in their eyes.

  Yang Shuo Ming looked around at the young students with some embarrassment, his body stiffened for a moment, and Huang Yunzhi realized her mistake and let go of him.

  "It's really 'a day as husband and wife, a hundred days of kindness'! I'm so envious!" said the big-eyed, round-faced girl with short hair wearing a white embroidered dress, who was slightly chubby. Yang Shuoming knew her name was Zhao Xia, the darling of Old Man Zhao in town. Although she was also a talented lady, her personality was much more cheerful than Huang Yunzhi's.

  After hearing her words, Huang Yunzhi's face turned slightly red. She pretended to be angry and glared at her good friend with a pinching gesture. Zhao Xia immediately smiled and hid behind another girl.

  "What made you think of inviting everyone at this time today?" Yang Shuoming asked Huang Yunzhi with a smile.

  "We're here to make trouble in the bridal chamber!" Zhao Xia joked back.

  "What nonsense are you talking about! I heard gunshots over here and was worried that Master En might be in danger, so I came to help Master En." A young man said, lifting his hem, pulled out a handgun from the holster on his waist and handed it to Yang Shouming.

  Yang Shuoming recognized him as Long Furen's precious son, Long Yonghua. He looked at this sincere young man and knew he was genuinely willing to help himself, and his heart couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion.

  "With Lord En's skills, do you still need to help?" Zhao Xia deliberately teased him with a sentence, "Your gun skills, Young Master Long, we've seen them before... alas, let's not mention it..."

  Long Yonghua's face suddenly turned bright red, he held the gun in his hand, wanting to say something, but didn't say it.

  Yang Shuo Ming stood up and took the somewhat old-fashioned Browning M1900 pistol from Long Yedang's hand, checked it, and smiled at him, saying: "Don't worry, if you want to learn how to shoot well, I'll teach you."

  "Yes, yes! Master, please teach us! We came to ask you about this today," another student, Dong Yetao, chimed in. "To be honest with you, that day on the mountain, watching you blow up the bandits' heads one by one, I was so envious."

  "Do you know? Among the bandits who set fire to the town, thirteen were actually killed by Master En. "A girl named Zhang Ying said," Just now, the security team searched Dehongshun and arrested the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper confessed that only twenty-one bandits from Sai Shiling had mixed in."

  "Master En killed twelve of them," Zhao Xia glanced at Huang Yunzhi, winked and smiled, "One of them was killed by Yunzhi, right?"

  "Really? Yunzhi, you're too amazing!" Zhang Ying looked at Huang Yunzhi, covering her mouth in surprise and exclaimed, "It's unbelievable, Yunzhi is usually afraid of even small insects."

  "Yunzhi married En Gong and became braver than before."

  "Master Wen, you're being biased again, you must teach us how to shoot guns."

  After listening to her good friend's conversation, Huang Yunzhi recalled that unforgettable scene. She turned around and gazed at Yang Shao Ming, with warmth and happiness in her eyes.

  Yang Shuo Ming looked at the young faces around him, full of smiles and vitality, and suddenly a bold idea emerged in his heart again.

  "Don't worry, I guarantee that I will train you all to become top-notch marksmen," Yang Shaoming said. Upon hearing his words, several young men and women all cheered in agreement.

  "By the way, what majors are you all studying?" Yang Shuoming asked.

  The students reported their majors one after another. Long Yonghua majored in law, Dong Yetao majored in finance, Zhao Xia and Zhang Ying majored in literature and painting, but what Yang Shouming did not expect was that his new wife Huang Yunzhi's major was...

  Huang Yunzhi majored in medicine and nursing.

  For a girl living in such a remote town to have ambitions for the medical and health industry in China, Yang Shuo Ming couldn't help but feel admiration. But from Huang Yunzhi's unintentionally revealed sorrowful expression when she answered, Yang Shuo Ming knew that there was probably some story behind it, but he didn't ask further.

  Everyone has already married him, there are some problems, can't wait until tonight what's up...

  Yang Shuo Ming inquired about the academic situation of these young students, for a major plan that had been brewing in his heart since he came to this era but was not yet mature.

  These young students, including his newlywed wife, will become an important part of this historic-changing plan!

  At the thought of changing history, Yang Shuo's heart seemed to have a flame burning.

  That's right, it's going to change history!

  As an outlier in a society where material desires are rampant, who has not lost his own moral integrity and bottom line, and has not lost his independent spirit and personality, since he came to this historical space-time, even if he risked his life, he would change the course of history and social development!

  So that hundreds of millions of Chinese people will no longer live in a society where black and white are reversed!

  Let Chinese people no longer struggle in a society that eliminates kindness and kills elites!

  Let the Chinese people bid farewell forever to a society where they have to sacrifice their humanity in order to survive and thrive!

  At this time, Huang Yunzhi seemed to have sensed the flames dancing in her husband's eyes and couldn't help but shudder.

  As the bandits were defeated again, the entire Double Dragon Town was jubilant, and the people spontaneously held a celebration, just like a festival. In the evening, at the Huang family's mansion, Huang Shiyao, as the town head, held a celebratory banquet for the security team. At the banquet, the local gentry repeatedly praised Xu Yuanjin and Yang Shouming's merits, frequently raising their cups to toast them, but Yang Shouming, however, did not seem as excited as everyone else, instead maintaining a humble attitude throughout.

  "What's on your mind?" Xu Yuanjin noticed that Yang Shuoming seemed a bit distracted and couldn't help but ask.

  "What are you going to do with those captives?" Yang Shuo Ming asked in a low voice.

  "The ones with heavy guilt, along with De Hongshun's internal traitors, will certainly be publicly executed and hung in the town entrance like Hei Lu. Xu Yuanjin hesitated for a moment before responding, 'Those few kids didn't commit any major crimes, just give them some travel money and let them go home.'"

  "Ah." Yang Shuo Ming nodded thoughtfully.

  "This time, if Mr. Yang hadn't killed those bandits who snuck into the town in time, the consequences would have been unthinkable." Long Boss stood up and toasted to Yang Shao Ming, "I'd like to offer a toast to Mr. Yang. My child's life was saved by Mr. Yang, from now on, if Mr. Yang needs anything from me, just let me know, I'll do it without hesitation."

  After hearing what Old Master Long said, several other rural gentry also raised their cups in agreement.

  "Then thank you all." Yang Shuo Ming smiled lightly and raised his cup for a toast.

  Huang Shi Yao glanced at Yang Shuo Ming unintentionally, as if he understood something. He smiled slightly, twirled his mustache, and didn't say a word.

  After dinner, Yang Shuo Ming returned home and as soon as he entered the door, Yin Feng told him that Huang Yunzhi was secretly crying alone in her room.

  "Did she often do this before?" Yang Shuo Ming thought for a moment and asked.

  "It has happened, but not often," Yin Feng said, "only a few times on the anniversary of the old lady's death."

  "I understand." Yang Shuo Ming nodded and didn't ask again.

  She had indeed come to her own room, and Huang Yunzhi was sitting alone on the bed, crying. Yang Shouming stood at the door and looked at her, his eyes habitually scanning the room for anything that might have caused her sadness, but no matter how long he looked, even with his "supercomputer eyes" scanning the room for half a day, he couldn't find anything suspicious.

  Yang Shuo Ming stopped the supercomputer's scanning work with a hint of frustration, looking at his new wife and not understanding why she was sad. At this time, she had already sensed his arrival, gently wiping away the tears from the corner of her eyes, and lifted her head.

  "Why don't you come in?" she said softly.

  "What are you thinking about again?" Yang Shuo Ming came to her side and sat down, his hand naturally resting on her slightly hunched shoulder.

  "Do you still remember the night we got married, the dragon and phoenix candles lit in this house?" Huang Yunzhi didn't answer his question, but instead asked back.

  "What's wrong?" Yang Shuo Ming turned his head and looked around, but didn't see Long Feng Wu anywhere.
