Volume 2 - Mingyue Academy Chapter 199: Old Wang Teahouse (22) No Regret

"Fourteen, I didn't expect that your previous life was 'Mr. Zian'. In front of you, I am undoubtedly doing my best." Lao Zhou said very modestly.

"Sir, you are exaggerating. Compared with your influence on modern times and even modern China, I really pale in comparison!"

"That's true. It's not an exaggeration to say that the most magnificent period of Chinese literary circles was led by you!"

"Okay, if you two continue to flatter each other like this, today's wine tasting party will not be sustainable!" Upon seeing this, Wang Mu quickly broke the atmosphere of hating each other.

"Sorry, sorry!" the two literary giants in Chinese history said in unison.

"I believe you have many questions to ask Lao Zhou! So today's story meeting will be changed to an interview." Wang Mu suggested.

"This is a good suggestion. To be honest, I've been holding it in for a long time." Situ Yuner also couldn't hide her excitement.

Although Lao Zhou is a little reluctant, he still needs to bow his head in other people's territory. "It's the last time anyway, so I will tell you everything I know."

"Old Zhou, how did you awaken and become a world traveler?" Situ Yun'er asked, "I know that the opportunity for a world traveler to awaken is mostly due to strong regrets in the previous life. What are your regrets?

?”

"Well!" Lao Zhou thought for a while and said, "At the last moment, I did have two unfulfilled wishes. At that time, I saw China in dire straits, but I couldn't do much by myself. I really hope to see China

A day to rise again.”

"This reminds me of Lu Fangweng's saying, 'Master Wang sets a day for the Central Plains in the north, and he never forgets to tell Nai Weng for family sacrifices.' You must have been in the same mood at the time!" Shi Shisi said lightly.

"Yes, but in that darkness, I did see the light of hope. And the current New China has indeed not disappointed me."

"Then Lao Zhou, what is your second wish?" Situ Yuner continued to ask.

"Second wish?" Lao Zhou took a sip of rice wine and showed a little sadness on his face, "Actually, I have always wanted to meet again with the mentor who has had the greatest influence on me. It's a pity..."

"Is it that Fujino Yankuro?" Shi Shishi's reaction was not unusually quick.

"Who is this Yan Jiulang?" Er Shuang blinked his eyes and asked.

"Shuangshuang, you should really read more books in the future!" Shi Shisi couldn't help but complain.

"I know! I'm uneducated, that's all!" You both rolled your eyes at Shi Shishi, and drank to yourself.

"Yes, it's Mr. Fujino." Lao Zhou continued, "It's a pity that I woke up at the wrong time and at the wrong time. In this era, Mr. Fujino should have passed away! And..."

"And what?"

"According to what I have learned in the past two years since my awakening, in fact, not long after my death, the island country began to fully invade China. I was thinking that Mr. Fujino would not be involved! Although he has never discriminated against us Chinese students.

, but many times I can’t help myself..."

"Lao Zhou, are you afraid that Mr. Fujino's image in your memory will be destroyed?" Situ Yuner asked.

"Yes, this is what I am most afraid of. Sometimes, the most precious things are better to stay in your own memory."

"Old Zhou, it seems you didn't wake up for long!"

"It's really not that long, almost two years! Moreover, the pace of this new society is so fast, and it took me a long time to adapt. Thanks to Boss Wang's help during this period!"

"So Lao Zhou, you still don't know about Mr. Fujino's follow-up, right?" Shi Shishi asked.

"I don't know. To be honest, it's not easy for me to understand the past history now. I have to go online everywhere. This is not easy for me as a person from the old society."

"Lao Zhou, do you know what kind of person you are in Mr. Fujino's eyes?"

"What kind of person?" The expression on Lao Zhou's face was a little complicated.

"Actually, in his eyes, you are just an ordinary student. And a student with poor grades."

"Well, I think that's the case. At that time, I caused him a lot of trouble, and in the end I failed to live up to his hopes." Hearing this, Lao Zhou seemed a little disappointed, "Later, I asked my friends from the island country to find him.

Several times, but there is always no news. I guess he has forgotten about me, a useless student!"

"Lao Zhou, don't take it seriously," Shi Shishi said with a smile, "Actually, Mr. Fujino still remembers you."

"Is this true? Fourteen, you didn't lie to me?"

"It's the truth this time. In fact, Mr. Fujino's life was not satisfactory later on. After hitting a wall several times, he could only practice medicine in a small clinic in his hometown of Fukui Prefecture."

"When you became a star in the Chinese literary world, Mr. Fujino also saw your masterpiece. And he also knew that you included him in the work. He was also very surprised. He did not even expect that it had such a great impact on you.

"

"Mr. Fujino probably treats every student like this."

"At that time, he was living in poverty. Knowing that you were successful and famous, he naturally didn't want to contact you. He once said that with his current status, how could he claim to be the teacher of a great Chinese writer?"

"Mr. Fujino is really..."

"So by some strange combination of circumstances, we never contacted you again. In fact, when Mr. Fujino found out about your passing, he regretted it too much." Shi Shisi said, took out his tablet, clicked on a webpage and handed it over.

, "This article is probably what you want to read the most!"

Lao Zhou looked at his tablet and saw that the title of the short article above read "Remembering Mr. Zhou Shuren". He was so excited that he burst into tears and his hands trembled before he finished reading the entire article.

"Teacher, he has not forgotten me."

"Not only that, but after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Mr. Fujino was also a rare friend of the island country who stood on the side of the famous Chinese people."

"Are you telling the truth?" Lao Zhou's cloudy eyes showed a little light.

"It's true. After the Japanese army officially invaded our country, the price of medicines in the island country soared. Mr. Fujino's clinic had a lot of medicines. When the drug dealers bought them at high prices and prepared to send them to the front line of the invasion of China, Fujino was in financial constraints.

The gentleman decisively refused."

"In that case, Mr. Fujino must have withstood a lot of pressure."

"Mr. Fujino once said to his son: 'China is the teacher who taught China its culture.'" Shi Shishi continued, "He has always had a heart that is grateful to China."

"So that's it!" Lao Zhou stood up, turned his back to everyone, and said nothing for a long time.

The "separated people" present here were very wise and did not disturb him.

Finally, after time had frozen for a long time, Lao Zhou said with relief: "This is the best news I have heard in so many years since my awakening. Now my wish is fulfilled, and I no longer have any regrets."

Lao Zhou turned around, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. "On a cold autumn night, wine warms the heart! Boss Wang, and all my friends, thank you for your hospitality."

"Lao Zhou, are you going to go in the end?"

"That's right, it's time to give your life back to him."

"But, but!" Situ Yuner said reluctantly, "Mr. Zhou, don't you think that the existence of a literary giant in this world is more valuable than an ordinary mortal?"

"Miss Yuner, your words seem to be biased. I feel that I am not qualified to judge." Lao Zhou said lightly.

Situ Yun'er was stunned for a moment, and his face suddenly became a little stunned. "Old Zhou, you are right. I seem to have become you in "A Little Thing"."

"That's the truth."

"But Lao Zhou, now your articles are slowly withdrawing from the stage of history. Many children may not have the opportunity to read your works in the future!" Situ Yuner said disappointedly.

"This is the law of history, and it is also what I hope to see." Lao Zhou adjusted his shabby gown, "Everyone, next time we meet, maybe I won't be the one who travels through the dust."

Lao Zhou picked up a yellow paper umbrella and walked slowly to the door of the teahouse.

"Old Zhou!" Shi Shisi suddenly stopped him.

"Fourteen, what else can I do?"

"Will you regret your decision today?"

"I saw what I wanted to see, and I have no regrets!" After finishing speaking, Lao Zhou walked into the autumn rain without looking back.

"Brother Fourteen, why didn't you try your best to stop him this time?" Situ Yuner asked in confusion.

"Because I think he made the right decision."

"In fact, with his status and the help of the Dust Crossing Union, it is clear that everyone can prevent him from forgetting."

"Do you think we're forgetting him?"

"Isn't that so?"

"'Take the essence and discard the dross', 'Save the children', 'Look at thousands of people with cold eyebrows, bow your head and be willing to be a coward'. These will not be forgotten as time goes by." Shi Shishi said with a smile,

"These have been integrated into the blood and spirit of the Chinese nation. They do not need special explanations and will be passed down from generation to generation."

"Some people are dead, but he is still alive." Wang Mu sat at the table and took a sip of rice wine and said, "It's a pity that I can no longer drink this cup with Lao Zhou."

"It's okay, I'll accompany you. Now I think this wine is really good!" Er Shuang said with a smile.

"I know, the remaining bottle is yours too."

"That's what I've been waiting for." Er Shuangshuang said, happily running towards the kitchen.

"Brother Fourteen, what are we, the world-crossers, then? Shouldn't we exist in this world?"

"The existence of everyone and everything has a purpose. Since God makes us awaken, there must be a reason. Therefore, I will be a world traveler with peace of mind. Because I secretly feel that there is always some mission that requires us

Go finish it!"

"Brother Fourteen!"

"Yooner, what's wrong?"

"You are right, I really want to thank you!"

"Good wine! Really good wine!" Er Shuangshuang's voice came from the back kitchen.

"Shuangshuang, you are not allowed to eat alone, leave some for us!" Shi Shishi and Wang Mu quickly ran to the kitchen, leaving Situ Yun'er, who couldn't drink, staring there.

Time flies, and Lao Zhou soon becomes like the small blackboard in the corner, seemingly forgotten by the few people who are "connected to each other". However, people rarely mention him anymore.

Until one day, Situ Yuner ran in panting. "You all, read today's newspaper!"

"Who reads newspapers these days!" they both said in surprise, "Today's newspapers are just carriers of advertisements. If you want me to read advertisements, forget it."

"Who told you to read an advertisement? Look here!" Szeto Yoona said, pointing to a news story with pictures in the corner.

Shi Shishi and others came over to take a look. The title read: "A man who has lost his memory for three years returns as if he has been away from another world. His family wept with joy and finally enjoy a happy family."

And the man in the picture with a happy face, who is it if he isn’t Lao Zhou?

"Great, really great!" Wang Mu said happily.
