Chapter 60: A Chance Encounter with Du Yuming and Guan Linzheng

  At this time, a waiter brought over two large bowls and four old steamed buns.

  Jian Yu Mei and Lin Li were not strangers, they started to tear it apart. This Shaanxi lamb soup, tearing flatbread is a profound study, Jian Yu Mei and Lin Li both knew that.

  They slowly opened their eyes and then they heard two elderly people talking at the next table.

  "This is really a troublesome autumn!" said an old man who looked like a great uncle.

  "Yes, in this chaotic world of autumn, I'm afraid we Shaanxi people can only watch the trend!" Another old man said.

  "Look, it's chaotic outside, and it's the same here. Ma Bufang and Feng Yuxiang have left Shaanxi, their troops have all been changed to National Revolutionary Army, but this one here is still loyal to Beijing, I think it's not good!" said the man who looked like a big uncle.

  "Yes, it's just that you don't understand sometimes. These warlords are slippery characters. Who knows, one minute they're on our side and the next they've switched to the National Revolutionary Army! You haven't figured this out after all these years?" said Old Man.

  "Yes, thinking back to those years, our Shaanxi was in chaos during the early Republic of China. The White Wolf bandits had just entered Shaanxi, and then that beast Lu Jianzhang came to wipe out the White Wolf. Later, the people of Shaanxi rose up in a great rebellion, causing Lu Jianzhang to lose control of Shaanxi after his subordinates turned against him. But when this beast was leaving Shaanxi, he actually wanted to take away dozens of carts of jewels and furs! What a beast! Back then, it wasn't just him who plundered, but also his underlings, they were simply preying on the people of Shaanxi like fish in water! Those years are truly unbearable to recall!" The old man said.

  "Alas, yes, that era, really, the Republic of China was a disappointment, not as good as the Qing government. Look at how the Qing government was, it wasn't this chaotic. Alas, I don't know if this idea is good or bad! The Republic of China, the Republic of China... look at it now! Ah, never mind!" said the old man.

  "Don't talk about national affairs, the two of you, your mantou has arrived!" Just then, Xiao Er Ge came over and kindly reminded them before delivering their mantou and small dishes.

  "Eat mantou, eat mantou, I won't say anything else. I really hope that one day we can dispel this gloom and see the real light!" said the old man.

  "Eat, there will be some, wait, don't say anymore, eat buns, eat buns!" The old man shook his head.

  Jian Yu Mei looked at them with a thoughtful expression.

  "What's on your mind, young brother?" Lin Li asked.

  "As for those two, it's really disheartening!" said Jian Yu Mei.

  "Shidi, why?!" Lin Li asked.

  "When the Republic of China was first established, I was still young and didn't understand much. All I knew was that our queues were cut off overnight. Later on, when they talked about Lu Jianzhang's affairs, I couldn't remember them at the time, but later on, as I traveled to many places in Shaanxi, people would grit their teeth whenever his name came up. Now those warlords come and go like a revolving lantern in Shaanxi, but isn't it the same throughout China? Who is thinking of benefiting the common people? These warlords are all thinking about fighting for territory, grabbing money and wealth, leaving the people with nothing to live on!" Jianyu Mei sighed.

  He thought of those beggars on the streets, he saw that they were in groups, all of them were people who couldn't make a living.

  Jian Yu Mei sighed at this moment.

  At this time, several young people walked in and sat down at the table near Jian Yu Mei, "Boss, we want a few bowls of wontons!"

  "Here it is!" The little boy served them diligently and quickly brought over large bowls and old mantou.

  They started arguing there.

  One of them said: "Du Yuming, are we setting out tomorrow?"

  "Yes, Guan Linzheng, we'll leave tomorrow. I really long to arrive early and start a new life. I can't stay here for another day! Zhang Yaoming, isn't that right?" said Du Yuming.

  "Yes, let's go as soon as possible, Huangpu is our ultimate ideal! We will start our journey to save the country and people there!" said Zhang Yaoming.

  When Jian Yu Mei heard them mention Huangpu, his heart skipped a beat. He looked at these young people who were about the same age as him and saw the heroic spirit on their faces.

  Jian Yu's eyes widened in shock, and then he let out a sigh.

  "Junior brother, what are you sighing about? Are you thinking of going to Huangpu again?" Lin Li said.

  "Yes, it would be great if I could really go!" said Jian Yu Mei.

  "But don't you have other things to attend to? Let them handle national salvation and people's livelihoods, I think they're all quite capable!" Lin Li said.

  Jian Yu Mei looked at her senior sister, he didn't think his senior sister understood him so well.

  "I will also save the country and its people, but my way is different. I am taking a different path to achieve the same goal as them!" Jian Yu Mei said.

  "Alright, no matter what you do I'll accompany you. Anyway, I don't love money or treasure. The money we earn together, I'll give it all to you to do the things you like. As long as I can spend time with you, that's all that matters!" said Shifu Jie.

  At this time, their mantou had been served, and the children had already taken away the mantou they had broken into pieces, then put them in a pot to mix with mutton soup, meat shreds, seasonings, etc., and made delicious mantou.

  Jian Yu Mei looked at this Baozi, looking at the familiar lamb skewers and those small dishes, sighed.

  It's been years since they last met, and he knew he had grown up!

  "Brother, the buns here are really good! I haven't even eaten them yet, but I can tell they're better than the best shops in our county town! I want to try one!" Lin Li said.

  "Delicious! Really delicious!" Lin Li took a bite and couldn't stop praising it.

  "Yes, the buns here taste and are made quite well!" Xian Yu Mei smiled.

  At this time, the buns of those young people on that side were being torn apart. Xian Yu Mei looked at them and thought to herself, if she was that person in her previous life, then it seemed that she was destined not to go to the battlefield to fight in this life!

  At this time, in a daze, Jian Yu Mei saw some scenes. He saw that the young people opposite him had all become great generals. They were directing their subordinates to fight against the enemy.

  The screen was very blurry, but what made Jian Yu Mei remember the most was a place. Jian Yu Mei's mind always floated out with the name "Kunlun Pass". Jian Yu Mei saw that the young man named Du Yiming had become a middle-aged man, he was directing his soldiers to charge towards those hills, and the enemy's machine guns were pouring down like rain. Jian Yu Mei saw our soldiers falling one after another, but in the end, they still charged up the hill. Jian Yu Mei saw those soldiers putting bayonets on their guns, and engaging in a fierce melee with the enemies who had a red sun emblem on their heads.

  Finally, the setting sun was like blood, and all those enemies fell on the mountain. At this time, the whole mountain slope was full of corpses of enemies and the corpse of a soldier named Du Yuming. Among the corpses, Du Yuming did not say a word!

  Jian Yu Mei's thoughts were interrupted by Lin Li, "Younger brother, younger brother! What are you doing again!" Lin Li asked.

  "Nothing, I was just spacing out!" Jian Yu Mei's heart still racing from the images earlier, he had no idea what they portended.

  "It seems I still need to capture more!" said Jian Yu Meng Meng to herself.

  He ate buns while thinking, and soon he and Lin Li finished eating the steamed buns and those lamb skewers.

  At this time, he saw a person who walked in with some weirdness.
