: See the foolish again

After assisting Hu Hanmin in solving the problem of arms entering the city, Wu Shaoting became more and more idle in the next few days. He rested at sunrise and sunset every day, and even when he was working, he was bored most of the time. Because of this, he would buy a newspaper every day to read it, and occasionally even find newspapers about the revolutionary party propaganda and revolution in the newspaper.

In 1908, the most railway news was the most. Three months ago, the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway was opened, the Zhuping Railway was nationalized, and the Taiwan Railway was officially opened. In May, the Juyongguan section of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway was also dug.

Railways are epoch-making vehicles, but for this increasingly corrupt country, they have become the carrier tool for the extended sphere of influence of the great powers.

In addition to the news of the Celestial Empire, Wu Shaoting also learned that in April, Sun Yat-sen arrived in Hong Kong and planned an armed uprising in Guangdong and Guangxi provinces at the same time. This armed uprising seemed to be very large, with Huang Xing directly leading more than 200 people from the Tongmenghui, and the three county towns in Qinzhou, Lianzhou and Shangsi, but in the end it was a slash.

Qin Lian Shangsi Uprising was a news that Wu Shaoting saw in a regular newspaper, but the report was not detailed. After inquiring, he found out that the Qing army sent three battalions to suppress the troops, but in the end he was defeated by two hundred revolutionaries in segments. The government naturally did not dare to report such a shameful battle situation. As for how the uprising failed, of course, the news reported in the newspaper could not be believed, but this matter suddenly became silent.

Only then did he realize that Hu Hanmin invited him to dinner last month was that Qin Lian Shangsi Uprising had just failed. It seemed that the revolutionaries were unwilling to be disappointed this time, so they had to plan to do some damage in Guangzhou City. At the same time, he was also very impressed by Huang Xing's courage. Huang Xing had just finished the uprising in Guangdong and Guangxi's border leaders, and then ran to Guangzhou City to have dinner with him. He could still pretend to be nothing. It was really not simple.

The weather has been getting hotter recently, and it is now the weather is getting hotter, so it is really a test of the back of the whistle being arranged to guard the city gate this month. A few days ago, two incidents of soldiers suffering from heatstrokes occurred. Wu Shaoting had to change the duty sequence. He canceled his post standing on the city tower, divided the four teams into two groups, and replaced them to stand guard at the city gate every two hours.

One day in mid-July, the blazing sun drove away everyone on the streets and alleys of Guangzhou City.

The soldiers on duty on the back of the mail were all squatting inside the city gate, leaning against the hole wall, looking drowsy.

When Wu Shaoting saw this situation a few days ago, he scolded the soldiers. He allowed the soldiers to hide in the doorway and had enough to open the net. Now they are still half dead and throw away all the soldiers' appearances. But later, he no longer cared about it. Anyway, no one came in and out of the city gate at noon, so it would be better for the soldiers to rest for a while.

He sat under the shed, holding a newspaper from seven days ago in his hand, looking for any texts he hadn't read before. In the era of lack of information transmission, it was so difficult to obtain spiritual food.

At this time, Li Wenqi yawned and walked out of the door hole shakingly. He came under the shed, poured a glass of water from the teapot on the table and drank it all in one breath, lost a long breath, and said, "Sir, is there any news?"

He is illiterate, and Lord Wu has read the news to himself after reading the newspaper these days.

He always admired Wu Shaoting for not only being able to understand men, but also being able to understand at least two foreign languages. The day before yesterday, he picked up a newspaper full of foreign languages ​​on his way to buy jelly. After he took it back for Wu Shaoting to read it, he realized it was an English dialect, and the chapter of the Nobel Prize in Literature "Fighting for the Contents of Spiritual Life" reported above.

Wu Shaoting sighed and said, "I'm sorry, I asked you to buy a newspaper the day before yesterday. You'll have been there for an afternoon, and the ones you bought are still expired. I've read the advertisements in the newspaper three times. It's a news, it's a new one." He threw the newspaper on the table.

Li Wenqi looked aggrieved and said, "Sir, this is the western suburbs. They are all poor around. They are illiterate at all. Of course, those who sell newspapers will not come here to sell them. The day before yesterday, Beizhi ran four miles away before meeting a small grocery store. Beizhi couldn't read, so how could he know that the newspaper was expired."

Wu Shaoting shook his head helplessly. It turns out that he is really terrible to be uneducated.

Li Wenqi suddenly remembered the revolutionaries' trouble in April and murmured: "Sir, the Communist Party of China wanted to make trouble on Qinlian a few months ago, and it made such a big splash. Do you think they would come to our Guangzhou to make trouble?"

Wu Shaoting smiled and said, "It's hard to say. The Communist Party is everywhere now. They can make trouble everywhere. No one can predict it, right? In recent years, the Communist Party has become more and more troubled, and they are in panic all day long."

Li Wenqi showed a sad look on his face, sighed, and said, "It's a good thing, why are the clubs making trouble? Changmao has made trouble before, but it's not a good ending. As I said, just go home and live your own life with peace of mind. What's there to make trouble?"

Wu Shaoting glanced at Li Wenqi. This was the ideological quality of the Chinese people in the late Qing Dynasty. Those who were uncivilized were like Li Wenqi. Those who were spiritualized were Sun Yat-sen, Hu Hanmin and others.

"Oh, why do you tell me about you? If you can live a good life, a genius will cause trouble. Now the situation in China is that people are living in poverty, and many people cannot live a good life. In addition, foreigners bullied us, and no one wants to be a slave to the country." He said slowly, his tone seemed very deep, as if an old scholar was talking about learning.

"Mr. Wu, is there such chaos in the world as you said?" Li Wenqi was a little disbelief.

"Of course you don't know in the city. You are wearing official uniforms, eating official grains, and living in public housing. You don't have to worry about anything. Naturally, you won't believe me. Now there are countless poor people who are worried about the meal. You will know slowly." Wu Shaoting said slowly. He did not expect Li Wenqi to understand his words quickly. Anyway, history is moving forward, and the truth is around everyone.

Li Wenqi was silent for a while. After a while, he quickly let out a sigh and said, "Forget it, I won't talk about these things anymore. This topic is too sensitive and may even cause trouble. Alas, Beizhi is just an ordinary person. He only wants to eat three meals a day and have a place to sleep at night. He doesn't care about other things, and he can't take care of them."

Wu Shaoting smiled and said, "You are a real person, but what you said is also right."

Li Wenqi laughed and said, "Is that true?"

At this time, the sound of cars driving came from the distance of the street.

Wu Shaoting and Li Wenqi both looked at the other side of the street and saw a very familiar car coming quickly. In this era, there were not many cars, and everyone could record the same car at a glance.

Immediately, Li Wenqi blurted out: "It seems to be Mr. Zhang's car."

Wu Shaoting was not surprised. He had dealt with Miss Zhang when he was on duty at the city gate on the first day. Although this deal was not good, nothing unexpected happened.

"Yes, what's the point?" He said with a calm smile.

"Sir, aren't you worried that the Zhang family sent someone to cause trouble for you?" Li Wenqi asked cautiously.

"If you were Mr. Zhang, would you come to trouble me in such a luxurious car? If you want to ask for trouble, Mr. Zhang went directly to the Army Yamen to sue me, or found some little hooligans and gangsters who came to attack me. You must know the price of this car, which is worth the lives of all of us." Wu Shaoting said indifferently.

"Is it really so valuable?" Li Wenqi was stunned.

"Nonsense, if it's not worth it, then buy one and give it to me." Wu Shaoting said with a smile.

Soon, the black sedan was approaching from a distance, but it slowed down when approaching the city gate.

Li Wenqi suddenly became nervous again and said repeatedly: "Sir, sir, it seems that he is about to stop."

Wu Shaoting looked at the car and ignored Li Wenqi.

The black sedan really stopped in front of the city gate. Wu Shaoting could see two people sitting in the car in the shed, one was the driver, and the other was still the little loli beauty Miss Zhang, I met last time.

Miss Zhang was wearing a short-sleeved dress today, with her fair and slender arms exposed, and her pink and tender skin looked quite attractive, which induced a feeling of hunger. She poked a hand out of the car window, pointed directly at Wu Shaoting under the shed, hooked her index finger, and signaled Wu Shaoting to come over.

Li Wenqi quickly looked around first, then leaned into Wu Shaoting's ear and whispered: "Sir, Miss Zhang probably didn't bring anyone here, don't worry, if you have any situation, you will definitely rush forward."
