Ding Volume Chapter 1 Yixiaolou

After half a month of falling, the plum rain finally showed signs of a stop. When the morning sun shone into the Shikumen house, Han Xianfeng stood in front of the shrine in the living room and prayed devoutly. More than a month ago, every time she burned incense on the first and fifteenth day of the day, she didn't know what she wanted. Now she has nothing to worry about. Life is just a play, and she can only act according to this role. As for which day she will be able to wait until she steps off? She felt that she could not wait for that day. However, these ideas suddenly changed one day more than a month ago. Since then, she felt that she had something to ask for and fear, and now she only hopes that he is safe.

Because of the newspaper's repeated articles about the Revival Society, Han Xianfeng already knew who he was; looking at the righteous confessions of the revolutionary parties published in the newspaper, she even understood what he was going to do. She hoped that he could get better soon and lead the revolutionaries to save the fragmented revolution...

"Miss. That foreigner is here..." Every time she saw the Frenchman, Xiaozan's voice trembled a little. It was difficult for her to understand why people's eyes could be blue, why their hair was yellow, and why they had so much hair on their bodies.

"Are you here? Then ask him to come in." Han Xianfeng inserted the incense into the incense burner, then gently tied up her hair, and then left the yard. She was not well-versed in foreign languages, just smiled at the kind Frenchman, and blessed with a little blessing, and then welcomed him into the hall in scattered steps.

Berian was actually a private doctor. He was in his fifties and mainly served the French in the concession. Of course, as his fame expanded, he would also serve patients in some other countries. As for the Chinese, he had little contact with them because of his language barrier. Han Xianfeng, or rather, the man in Han Xianfeng's house, was his first Chinese patient. At the beginning, he thought it was this beautiful and elegant lady who was sick, and later went to Qifeng's Book House. He realized that the patient was a man. At that time, the man was in a very bad condition. His long-term coma had caused his fluid to be seriously unbalanced. For this reason, he had to take his carriage and go back to the French concession. He brought his special infusion equipment. After several tossings, the saline water was transferred to the patient's body.

When he was rescued, Berian did not pay attention to who the patient was and why he was injured. It was only when he returned to his residence that the wound on the man's back was a gunshot. Since it was a gunshot, it must be a criminal. But when he was waiting for the patrolman in the police room, the news about the revolutionary party and the reward portrait of the governor's room in the newspaper made him suddenly change his words when facing the British police officer. He claimed that his money was stolen, and then he left the police room. The revolutionary party was not a criminal, they were a group of people who could sacrifice their lives for their ideals. The Revival will be the revolutionary party in China, and the patient was the leader of the revolutionary party. With this idea, Berian told himself that he must treat him well, which was a reverie that praises the revolution and is born romantic.

Following Xianfeng into the living room, Bailian did not drink tea downstairs, but went directly to the second floor. After taking his body temperature, he nodded to Han Xianfeng, indicating that everything was normal, and made a two gesture, asking the patient if he had woken up twice. Han Xianfeng shook his head and made a three gesture, indicating that it was three times.

In fact, what they said about waking up is not completely awake, but a kind of half-sleeping and half-awake dream. Recently, Yang Rui often makes some noises or calls a few strange names that he doesn't understand. However, this is enough for the doctor and Han Xianfeng. The situation is constantly improving. Maybe a week or three days later, the patient will be fully awake.

Bailian saw Han Xianfeng making three gestures with a smile, and he smiled. He carefully hung the silver pot containing salt water on the head of the bed, picked up the silver needle in front of the tube with one hand, and then picked up the patient's arm with the other hand, found a position without a needle hole, and carefully inserted the silver needle into the vein. He noticed that when the silver needle pierced the skin, the patient's hand seemed to shake, and he couldn't help but nodded. The patient was indeed about to heal, and had no response to pain before. Bailian put down the patient's arm, immediately looked at the pocket watch, and according to the amount of water in the silver pot, the needle could be removed in about three hours.

Although intravenous infusion was invented very early, before 1940, intravenous infusion was a completely extremely dangerous operation and an emergency response to critically ill patients. And only doctors have the right to do so. At the same time, during the infusion process, the doctor must observe and wait on one side. This is actually why Bryan chose to come in the morning, but this waiting time was boring, so he had to read the newspaper and pass the time.

The hottest thing in the newspaper is that the revival that had just been suppressed will rebel. In the war in Hangzhou on July 2, according to the official news of the Qing Dynasty, about 3,000 rebels were shot dead, and more than 4,000 rebels were captured. Seeing this, Bailian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Many news from the Qing government was false, such as the revolutionary army in the song. The Qing government promoted in the newspaper that it had been eliminated, but according to the news from the consulate, the army was not completely defeated, and all the remaining people fled to Taihu Lake... Skip the false numbers, the following is the news of the arrested revolutionaries, among which Cai and Zhong had the greatest influence, and there were 102 core members of the revolutionary party. Except for Cai who committed suicide and was not killed, everyone else had been executed after the trial...

Berian swept through these words and looked at the somewhat confused execution photos. He quickly turned the newspaper one page, and there was news about the revolutionary party on the other page. However, the article was not about the Revival Society, but about the leader of the Tongmenghui who organized the failed Chaozhou Uprising. Sun.Yat-se, and the Revival Society in the United States, and they jointly delivered a speech condemning the Qing government in Los Angeles, the United States. Sun said in his speech,

The soldiers and nobles of the country (Manchus) massacred innocent citizens in cities such as hangzhou, shao, and haining. These citizens only helped the revolutionaries do some work and were tragic revenge from the government. In his speech, Sun called on all Han people to riot to oppose the barbaric Qing government, and claimed that his organization Tongmenghui and Revival Society had merged, and when the leader Cai was arrested, he would take on the task of continuing to lead the revolution...

When Berian saw sun.yat-color, he immediately found a pen to write it down. He learned that his patient was a revolutionary leader. Berian always wanted to contact the revolutionary organization called the Revival Society, but the news he saw in the newspaper was not optimistic. Many revolutionaries affiliated with the Revival Society betrayed the revolution. They published them in the newspapers and would no longer participate in any revolution in the future and confessed their crimes to the Qing government. At the same time, the Revival Society was in the longmen hotels in various concessions, and the China Times was sealed by the concession authorities at the request of the Qing government. Faced with such a situation, Berian really didn't know who he should trust...

When Bailian was reading the newspaper, Han Xianfeng made a cup of tea for him, and then sat upright and pulled up the erhu. This was her way of repaying Bailian. The music was melodious. However, when Han Xianfeng pulled the famous song to Shanghai, she was disturbed by a slight rhythmic "bang" sound. When Bailian thought it was the servant downstairs doing it, Han Xianfeng threw the erhu and ran to the bed quickly. She knew that it was him who woke up!

Yang Rui was pulled back to this world by a familiar music in the darkness. After he was shattered by the whirlpool, he thought he had traveled back. However, this process of traveling seemed endless. After a long and long time of asceticism, the music made him find the direction. However, when he reached reality, he found that his eyes could not be opened no matter how hard he was. After he was sure that he was hearing music, he began to pound the bed in a hurry. However, after a long illness, his body was very weak, and even if he hit, his voice was very small.

"You're awake!" A woman's voice said. Yang Rui didn't have the energy to listen to who this voice was. The woman's voice said, and it was another foreigner's voice. He was not speaking English and could not understand a single sentence.

Yang Rui didn't have the strength to speak. He couldn't tell where this place was. It was in 2013 or 1906. When he was about to beat the bed again, his hand was held by a delicate and fragrant hand. The woman's voice said again: "The doctor said that you will not be able to see when you wake up, but it will be cured after a while... This is Renheli. You were very injured at that time. I found a foreigner to cure you. Now the foreigner said you need to rest. You have been sleeping for almost a month and you have to wait for your health to recover before you can go out and walk outside... It's very good here. No one knows you are here. The police officers have searched here, but they didn't find you..."

In the gentle words of the woman, Yang Rui gradually calmed down. He seemed to feel that he was still in 1906. At the same time, the people around him were not any of his acquaintances. In addition, he felt that there were still many things in his mind that he had not remembered, but when he was about to think about it, the whirlpool in his mind swallowed him up again.

Seeing Yang Rui's breathing calmly, Han Xianfeng and Bai Li'an quietly left the bedside. When they walked outside, Bai Li'an picked up the Sino-French New News, pointed to the photo of the execution of the revolutionary party, shook his head at Han Xianfeng, and made a gesture of silence. His meaning was very clear. Although the patient was awake, his injuries and long-term bed rest made his body extremely weak. If he was subjected to any intense stimulation, it would be very unfavorable for the patient's recovery. Han Xianfeng looked at the photos of the murder and beheading, and felt cold in his heart, but the smart one understood Bai Li'an's meaning and nodded heavily.

Yang Rui woke up again at midnight. At this time, Xianfeng came back outside. The room was bright and the fire was bright. When she was taking off her makeup in front of the dressing table, she heard a little noise on the bed. She hurriedly got up, sat on the side of the bed and held the swinging big hand and said, "Are you awake? You are really awake."

Hearing this familiar voice again made Yang Rui feel relieved, especially the slender hand made him feel that he was still alive and could move, but all he could do was this. After Xianfeng spoke for a while, he fell asleep again. It was not until the next morning after intravenous infusion that he woke up again. After feeling that the people around him could be trusted, he tried his best to say a pretty complete sentence, "Jiang Hai Chaozong... Yixiaolou... Table 44... Order... Four corners and four-point tea, secret code... He said 1314... You answered 1413... and in your pocket... half a dollar..."

Han Xianfeng took a lot of effort to write down all the intermittent words. When she repeated the retelling again, Yang Rui had already fallen asleep, and all his efforts were spent on these intermittent words. Han Xianfeng watched him fall asleep. He found the half-Yen Yuan piece from the stack of money left before. When he turned around and wanted to go downstairs, he stopped. She could be sure that this was the communication code of the revolutionaries. As long as she went, she would be able to find the revolutionary party immediately, but if she really found the revolutionary party, wouldn't he be taken away by them?

Thinking of the panic when she first met, the shame of wiping the man for the first time, and... and the anxiety of seeking medical treatment on rainy nights... She felt that she had been together for a month and could not live without this man. If he had just left like this, would he remember himself? He had never seen his own appearance before... Han Xianfeng thought about these things and couldn't help but stay at the door for a while. Until she came back to her senses again, she turned around for a few more times, and then made up her mind. She changed into a less silly shirt, put her hair down, and then went out like this. Although she was sitting in a sedan chair, when she reached the intersection of Sima Road, she asked the sedan chair to go back and walked to the smile building with her girl Xiaozan.

Jianghai Chaozong Yixiao Building is a famous teahouse in the British Concession. However, no one has ever sat on the No. 44 table because there is no such location in the entire teahouse. Besides, most people don’t want this location if they are unlucky. And four-corner tea is completely expensive. The average tea is three or four cents a cup. Even in the Japanese tea house with 28 Yaoji, the tea source is only two or three. When Han Xianfeng saw a more mature guy asking for No. 44 table, she seemed to feel that this guy

Her body seemed to shake, and then she took her to the teahouse with a smile on her face. It was a private room. After she ordered four-point tea, the guy brought the tea in a short while. In addition to the tea, he also brought a lot of snacks. When she had eaten for half a minute and wanted to leave, a sweaty oriental coachman rushed in quickly. When he saw Han Xianfeng and the others were stunned, he then pretended to be calm and asked: "Customer, are you satisfied with this tea one, three, and four?"

The visitor was wearing the coachman's clothes, but he didn't look like a cart puller at all. Han Xianfeng's time to compensate for the game was not short, and the dress of all kinds of people was very clear. Seeing that he put the secret code in his words, he also said: "It's just 1413."

As soon as she said this, the person who came to take out half of the remaining coins from his arms and put them on the table in panic. Then he looked over eagerly. Han Xianfeng seemed to be able to understand the things in the eyes of the person, and took out the half coins from his carry-on, and combined them with the half coins on the table. The two looked perfect. Seeing this, the person who came to the house took a few steps back eagerly, bowed deeply, and said, "Miss, where is the person first?"

Looking at the joy of the visitor, Han Xianfeng felt uneasy. Looking at his expectant face, she said for a while: "I saved your people, then you have to help me..."

The one who connected with Han Xianfeng was actually Mu Xiangyao, who was in charge of the special department. He heard that someone was placing a table of No. 44 in Yixiao Tower, so he ordered the shop to keep the person. He wore a Toyo coachman's clothes and pulled a Toyo car to Yixiao Tower. Finally, he arrived. After everything met, he felt like he wanted to cry. Han Xianfeng asked them to help, but it was not expected by Mu Xiangyao. He replied happily: "Girl, as long as I can do it!"

Mu Xiangyao answered too quickly and said too much. He paid 10,000 yuan for the money to redeem Han Xianfeng. This was basically the half-year activity fund for his special department, but he was eager to find someone and no longer cared about the money. But when Han Xianfeng brought him into the house and was about to leave with Yang Rui, Mu Xiangyao was in trouble. After finding Yang Rui, he didn't want any strangers to approach the gentleman, but Han Xianfeng's original intention was to be with Yang Rui.

Mu Xiangyao was unwilling to agree, but when Han Xianfeng accidentally mentioned the doctor, he thought that without this girl, the gentleman would probably not be able to survive. Besides, the husband's illness had not been cured yet, so he rashly transported him back to Tonghua, fearing that the bumpy journey would deepen. On the safe side, it would be better to recover the injury in Shanghai first and then go to Tonghua. At present, Han Xianfeng was no longer rejected. After all, the doctor was invited by her. She just asked to change her residence to the French Concession, which was the only safe place in Shanghai.

The news that Xianfeng moved away from Qifeng Shuyuan came to Shanghai that day. Everyone guessed that Shuyuan's mother was crazy about money and a money tree was gone. In fact, Qifeng Shuyuan's mother didn't want to buy it. Mu Xiangyao said it became so hot that she touched her waist and axe chopped on the table. She was so shocked that the powder on her face dropped down. She didn't recognize Mu Xiangyao, but she recognized this kind of axe. During this period, many white-eyed people in Shanghai were cut to death by this axe. It was Guifeng's love in Shuyuan. Guixin, such a person who could eat everywhere, was frightened by the Axe Gang and fled to somewhere. Mu Xiangyao also saw her mother's fear, sneered, threw out a stack of silver coupons, and then took Han Xianfeng to the French Concession.

When the gentry in Shanghai lamented about the loss of a prostitute, the entire Revival Society would be filled with a boiling disaster. The shadow of the defeat in Hangzhou suddenly dissipated a lot, and Tonghua immediately sent military doctors to Shanghai to help heal the wounds. However, some people were happy, some were unhappy. Chen Qimei, who received a telegram from Mr. Zhongshan in the United States, was very crazy and had plotted so much. Cai Yuanpei was captured before he died, and the Revival Society's army was almost wiped out. But in a blink of an eye, Yang Jingcheng, who thought he was dead, came back alive again. This was a great disadvantage to Mr. Zhongshan's ongoing Annexation and Revival Society's plan.

——During the period when Hangzhou was suppressed by the Qing army, the relationship between the Tongmenghui and the Revival Society was extremely harmonious. After all, the Two Sessions had a blood-collapsed friendship, and the members of the Two Sessions even went to difficulties together. This made the people in the Two Sessions feel a sense of sharing weal and woe. In addition, Cai Yuanpei finally sent a telegram to Sun Wen to agree to the merger of the Two Sessions. Therefore, when Sun Wen faced reporters in American newspapers, he promoted himself as the common leader of the Tongmenghui and the Revival Society. But now Yang Jingcheng is still alive, so he, the common leader, is not worthy of his name.

"Where is this Yang Jingcheng hiding?" Chen Qimei asked at Wu Naiwen in front of him. He remembered that Wu Naiwen had searched every house in the concession.

Wu Naiwen was also surprised to hear that Yang Jingcheng was still alive. He said, "Second brother, this news cannot be used by Revival to deceive people, right? Now they have experienced this great defeat and are about to get some news to boost morale..."

"So excited!" Chen Qimei's face turned distorted when she said this. "It was Zhang Taiyan from the Revival Society who said to Zhongshan in person. Now the merger of the two sessions will have to wait until Yang Jingcheng gets over..."

Taking advantage of the difficulties of the president of the Revival Society, the annexation of the Revival Society is the best choice for the Tongmenghui. At least, in Taihu and Yanzhou, there are still one or two thousand remnants of the Revival Society. Although these troops are defeated, they are established troops. If you want to integrate the revolutionary party in China and package it for foreign countries to "list", the Revival Society must not be missed. But now Yang Jingcheng has no control and slipped to the worst situation when the situation appears. It is really useless to make a plan! This is why Chen Qimei is most angry.

"Second brother, the most sensational thing in Shanghai now is that Han Xianfeng was redeemed." Wu Naiwen was angry when he saw Chen Qimei, and had to think of a solution. "And according to the old madam in Shuyuan, only 10,000 yuan was given to redeem the silver."

"What does it matter to Yang Jingcheng!" Chen Qimei was angry and had no intention of thinking about a famous prostitute. She only felt that Wu Naiwen was asking for trouble.

"Second brother. If Han Xianfeng redeems his body, he will have to be more than 100,000 taels. Now he is redeemed by 10,000 ounces of Yangyuan. There is a mystery in it. The madam dare not tell the public, but the servant below said that the reason why my mother agreed was because she was frightened by an axe, otherwise she would not agree if she died." Wu Naiwen consciously found the key himself, and his words were very complacent, but Chen Qimei's "bang" made his beard shake his beard's hand, and two of his beards were broken. Chen Qimei only heard a few words out of her teeth: "Axe Gang!"

The biggest force in Shanghai was the Qing Gang before last month, but this month it changed a different place. The old men who did not obey orders were all cleaned up by the Axe Gang. Especially the rest of Fan Gaotou, who was friends with Ying Guixin, were killed without leaving any other animals. Several leaders of the gang were killed by the axe, and then hung on a big tree next to the county yard one night. The servants in the yamen wanted to untie but were interrupted by a shot. The bodies were hung so staggered until the afternoon, until the defense troops from Wusong entered the city, they finally removed the bodies.

In addition to dealing with the Qing Gang in the Chinese world, the Qing Gang in the Concession also suffered a disaster, especially Xingwu Liu in the British Concession. Because he had helped Ying Guixin find someone, the old man Zhang Shanting was shot to pieces in his head when he went out to practice qigong early in the morning. The remaining disciples of the big-character generation were thrown into explosives in the room while discussing revenge for the master. After a loud bang, Xingwu Liu's leader was basically dead. Xingwu Si of the French Concession wanted to take revenge, but was flattened by the Axe Gang before he could do it. The remaining few people relied on the Huzhou Gang's Li Zhengwu's statement to save their lives. It can be said that Shanghai is now the world of the Axe Gang, and any other gang has a little dissatisfaction with all the lotus roots to the Huangpu River. It can be said that except for foreigners, no force can exist in Shanghai.

"Second brother, the Axe Gang is the peripheral organization of the Revival Society. However, although they have a great power, it is not that they can't find Yang Jingcheng." Wu Naiwen was still holding his beard. "Now, Yang Jingcheng was hiding in Qifeng's Book House. Han Xianfeng was a famous prostitute. Whether it was the policeman or the Qing Gang, he was still polite to her. He didn't go in and rummaged through the cabinets, so Yang Jingcheng escaped..."

Wu Naiwen was making a smart decision, but Chen Qimei was impatient. He shouted: "If you have farts, just let it go. Tell me. How do you find Yang Jingcheng?"

Wu Naiwen wanted to show his wisdom, but Chen Qimei couldn't wait, so he had to say, "It's hard to find Yang, but it's easy to find Han Xianfeng. Isn't Kuicheng's mistress Guifeng also the Chang San in Qifeng's Book House? She might have had a good relationship with Han Xianfeng, so it's easy to ask her to find Han Xianfeng."
