Rebel Demon King

Chapter 573

(I'm sorry everyone, my mind is a mess, I'm deep in Calvin, I'll make it up when I'm in a better state)

Gujing Street is located a little below the intersection of Huangxing Road Pedestrian Street and Renmin Road, the busiest place in Star City. It has a unique style, very unique.

When Cheng Mo walked from the crowded pedestrian street to the entrance of Gujing Street, he happened to see Bai Xiuxiu and Gao Yuemei getting off a white Toyota Alpha nanny car. After five o'clock, the setting sun was already half-disabled, and the crimson color smudged the entire ramp. The ginkgo trees that had lost half of their leaves cast swaying tree shadows in the cold wind. Everywhere is a very strong ancient line extending towards the Renaissance.

Bai Xiuxiu was wearing a white women's suit, her long hair was slightly permed and draped over her shoulders like slightly undulating waves; Gao Yuemei was wearing a black tweed skirt with a light brown leather jacket, and the two tall and graceful people stood together. In the sunset, it looks like a pictorial girl who came out of a silent movie. The contrast between the two is just like the scene in front of me. One is graceful and charming;
Cheng Mo saw many passers-by couldn't help but stop and linger, as if admiring the supreme scenery, they also stopped, but the sharp-eyed Gao Yuemei spotted him, and waved to him with a smiling face, Cheng Mo suddenly Feeling the attention of countless eyes, he could only walk over with a handful of Bai Yueji in his arms, handed the flowers to Bai Xiuxiu under the watchful eyes of many passers-by, and said with a smile: "Bai Dong, happy birthday."

Standing on the sidewalk, Bai Xiuxiu stared at Bai Yueji handed over by Cheng Mo, but she quickly realized that she smiled calmly at Cheng Mo and said, "Thank you."

Gao Yuemei naturally couldn't think of why Bai Xiuxiu was in a daze, let alone "Lin Zhinuo" had a complicated relationship with her sister-in-law in private, so she gave Cheng Mo a look of approval, and took Bai Xiuxiu's arm coquettishly: "Sister-in-law, I've known him for so long. He never gave me flowers once, and I didn’t tell him today, and he also knows that he really cares about you by buying flowers for you.”

Bai Xiuxiu handed the flowers to the driver in a black suit, and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, I haven't received flowers for a long time."

Gao Yuemei was a little surprised, "How come? There should be quite a lot of people chasing you!"

Bai Xiuxiu shook her head without explaining why.

Gao Yuemei said: "Hey, yes, most people only dare to look up to such an excellent woman like my sister-in-law, how can they have the courage to chase after her?"

Cheng Mo controlled his muscles and smiled and said: "I think there must be someone who has the courage to chase after him, but Director Bai may not be interested."

"You take care of your own affairs, don't worry about me." Bai Xiuxiu didn't look at Momo, but said lightly.

If someone else had heard Bai Xiuxiu's cold words, she might have been silent, but Gao Yuemei had always had a good relationship with Bai Xiuxiu, and she was Bai Xiuxiu's sister-in-law. She didn't feel the coercion of Bai Xiuxiu deeply, so she blamed her: " Why don't you worry, my parents hope that you can find a good man!"

Bai Xiuxiu knew that Gao Yuemei was always nervous, so she said helplessly, "Let's not talk about this, we went into the restaurant and chatted."

Gao Yuemei said "Oh" and walked towards Gujing Street with Bai Xiuxiu on her arm. Cheng Mo fell behind a little behind and followed two attractive women across the ancient well at the entrance of Gujing Street. There was a red octagonal pavilion on the ancient well. There are four gold characters "Old Spring Legacy" hanging on the top, and two ginkgo trees about a hundred years old are planted on both sides. Most of the branches are bald, and scattered yellow leaves are hanging on the branches trembling. Qing Dynasty-style dwellings, with red beams and black tiles, window lattices covered with white plastic paper, and red lanterns without light shaking slightly under the eaves.

The three of them walked back and forth into a narrow alley, with green brick walls and black wooden doors on both sides, Bai Xiuxiu's high-heeled shoes knocked on the stone road, and there was a sound in the quiet alley, Cheng Mo followed behind, wearing The high-heeled Bai Xiuxiu is as tall as Gao Yuemei, and the backs of the two are extremely beautiful. Gao Yuemei has a slightly slender body line, slender waist and long legs, full of youthful vitality; Bai Xiuxiu is more plump, with a straight back and hips, walking Swaying.

Cheng Mo has no evil thoughts, he just thinks that looking at beautiful things can really make people feel happy.

Looking at the winding alleys, Gao Yuemei felt as if she had traveled through time, and sighed, "I didn't expect there to be such an antique place near the pedestrian street!"

"It used to be the site of the 'Xiangjiang Review Printing Office'." Bai Xiuxiu said.

"The former site of Xiangjiang Commentary Printing Office?" Gao Yuemei was a little confused by this little-known place.

"Xiangjiang Review was a progressive publication during the May Fourth Movement," Bai Xiuxiu explained.

Gao Yuemei let out an "oh", and saw a gold plaque with a black background of "Baihuayuan No. 31 Mansion" hanging above the Moon Cave Gate not far away. There was also a metal plaque on the side of the Moon Cave Gate that read "Star City The immovable cultural relic site, the former site of the Xiangjiang Commentary Printing Office, began in [-]." Gao Yuemei asked doubtfully: "Is it appropriate to change the immovable cultural relic site into a restaurant?"

"This place is private now, as long as it roughly maintains the original style." Bai Xiuxiu said.

Chengmo glanced into the door opening. Inside is a typical hall-well structure. The houses on all sides are connected to each other. The roofs overlap and tightly surround the small courtyard in the middle. Because the eaves are high and the courtyard is small and shaped like a wellhead, it is also called It is called a courtyard. The courtyard of the courtyard is not very big, but it is very elegantly decorated. The surrounding buildings are wooden structure embroidered buildings, and there is a small pond of koi in the middle. He said lightly: "It is meaningless to keep it or not."

Gao Yuemei, who had already stepped into the yard, turned her head and asked, "Why?"

Cheng Mo said in a low voice: "The old site of Xiangjiang Review's printing office is valuable because the great man wrote the inaugural declaration for the first issue of "Xiangjiang Review" issued in July 1919. The real Xiangjiang Review's printing office was reduced to ashes in the fire in 7. This place was built on the ruins later, just like Tianxin Pavilion.”

Gao Yuemei looked up at the wooden corridor that had lost some paint and looked very vicissitudes. Although the exquisitely carved railings were brushed with tung oil and glistened in the sun, they had an ancient charm. The cyan mold stains do not seem to be newly repaired at all, "Isn't it? I think the things here are very antique! It feels like it's been a few years, and it doesn't look like it was repaired later."

Cheng Mo also raised his head to observe the building, and said after a while: "The owner of this place has put some thought into it. I guess the whole building was moved from Xiangxi, right?"

Bai Xiuxiu also looked back at Cheng Mo, and was about to speak when a woman in a cheongsam came out from the room on the right, clapped her hands three times, and said with a smile: "Excellent, I have so many guests here, are you I can tell at a glance that this building was moved from Xiangxi."

Cheng Mo followed the voice and looked over, there was a graceful woman standing beside the vermilion door carved with plum blossoms, her plump breasts lifted the silk cheongsam high, her legs in flesh-colored stockings were exposed from the slits of the cheongsam It was quite long, and some light makeup was applied on the face, but the lipstick on the lips was relatively red, and the complexion was very fair, not as beautiful as Bai Xiuxiu, not as pretty as Gao Yuemei, but she is also a rare beauty .

Cheng Mo just glanced at it, then looked away. He didn't mean to look any further, and he didn't answer. He only heard Bai Xiuxiu say: "Wen Xi, aren't you in Thailand? Why are you here?"

The woman named Wen Xi by Bai Xiuxiu walked towards the three of them gracefully, her eyes lingered on the faces of Cheng Mo and Gao Yuemei for a few times, and she said with a smile: "It's your birthday today, come to my place for dinner, even if I'm the lady boss. You have to come back from Antarctica!"

"It's not that you don't know, I never celebrate my birthday, today I just wanted to chat with my Xiaomei's boyfriend," Bai Xiuxiu said.

Wen Xi looked at Bai Xiuxiu and sighed: "To be honest, it's fortunate that you don't have your birthday. Your birthday is really a blow to others. It makes people feel that time makes people old, but time only loves you. It makes you younger and younger. In the next few years, you will really become fine."

Bai Xiuxiu smiled lightly and said, "You have such a mouth! It's so sweet that you won't pay for your life!"

Wen Xi patted Bai Xiuxiu lightly, and joked: "That's right, if I don't want to be sweet, I'm afraid you won't pay attention to a vulgar fan like me."

After a pause, Wen Xi was afraid of neglecting Gao Yuemei and Cheng Mo who were on the sidelines. Before Bai Xiuxiu could introduce her, she immediately grabbed Gao Yuemei's arm and looked her up and down, "Is this your sister-in-law, Miss Gao? She is so beautiful , most people always feel vulgar with a beautiful word in their name, but when it is placed on Ms. Gao, it feels spiritual."

Then Wen Xi glanced at Bai Xiuxiu again and said, "Just like your sister-in-law, the word Xiu is considered vulgar to others, but to your sister-in-law, it feels like a word full of fairy spirit."

Although Gao Yuemei is very used to being flattered, the other party is a gorgeous beauty, and it is the first time that she has been compared with her sister-in-law. In fact, Bai Xiuxiu is the object of Gao Yuemei's admiration, which makes Gao Yuemei His face was reddish, "Sister Wen Xi can really talk"

Xi turned her eyes to Cheng Mo who was standing a little behind Bai Xiuxiu, measured the distance between Cheng Mo and Gao Yuemei, and saw Cheng Mo's handsome and flawless face again, her eyes lit up, "This is Xiaomei's Miss Gao's boyfriend, right?"

Gao Yuemei half turned around and stretched out her hand, "Lin Zhinuo."

Wen Xi said with a smile: "Miss Gao and Mr. Lin are such a beautiful couple made in heaven, they are really enviable."

As soon as Gao Yuemei said this, she immediately had a good impression of Wen Xi, who had just met, and was thinking about how to respond, but she heard Bai Xiuxiu say: "What are you talking about standing at the door? Go to the private room!"

"The second floor is like a dream order, let me sit with you first." Wen Xi said.

The four of them walked along the corridor to the end, and went up a slightly narrow wooden staircase. On the second floor, they saw a private room with a wooden sign of "Like a Dream". The porcelain is all old objects, and it is obvious that they have spent some effort to collect them.

Wen Xi asked the waitress in a cheongsam to serve tea, then looked at Cheng Mo and asked, "How did Mr. Lin know that my building was moved from Xiangxi?"

Cheng Mo asked, "Ms. Wen Xi is a descendant of Mr. Wen Mian?"

Wen Xi's complexion changed slightly, and she said in surprise, "How do you know this?"

Bai Xiuxiu and Gao Yuemei were also very surprised, their eyes turned to Cheng Mo's direction.

Wen Xi’s grandfather, Wen Mian, used to be the curator of the Shonan Museum and was also in charge of the cultural work in southern Shonen. Both sets of books have been read by Cheng Mo.

"I guessed it based on your name. In fact, I can't be sure. I just thought that Mr. Wen Mian once said that the most cherished thing is the 'Wenxi Fire'. In addition, this place is private property. You have spent all your time Xin Xin moved the second-floor Yinzifang in Xiangxi, naturally he is very fond of historical relics, so I guess you are a descendant of Mr. Wen Mian." Cheng Mo talked to people like Wen Xi, and he unconsciously became polite .

Wen Xi looked at Bai Xiuxiu and Gao Yuemei in disbelief, and said three words, "It's incredible!"

Bai Xiuxiu looked away from Cheng Mo's silent face, and thought: No wonder so many people failed to discover the secret of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum, but he was able to. This reasoning ability is too strong.

Although Bai Xiuxiu thought so in her heart, she refused to admit Cheng Mo's power, and said lightly: "It's not difficult to guess! The Wenxi fire burned 90.00% of the entire Star City. Of course, your building was built later. After liberation, there are few people who can buy this kind of position, right? Besides, your name is Wenxi, so it’s strange that you can’t guess it!”

Wen Xi glanced at Bai Xiuxiu with a strange look in her eyes, and said with a smile, "It's not as easy as you said."

Bai Xiuxiu immediately realized that she shouldn't have said that. Wen Xi is a person who is very familiar with her own style, so she could tell right away that this was not what she usually said to the younger generation. The cup went away, but fortunately Gao Yuemei interrupted at this time, and turned to ask Cheng Mo: "What is Wen Xi Dahuo?"

Cheng Mo said calmly: "As an ancient capital with a thousand years of civilization, Xingcheng has no old buildings at all. This is all thanks to the fire 80 years ago, that is, the Xingcheng fire in the middle of the night on November 1938, 11. At that time, Xingcheng was a national One of the most important strategic bases of the government, it reserves a large amount of strategic materials. In response to the invasion of the Japanese invaders, the national government formulated a "scorched earth war of resistance" policy, planning to burn Star City, that is, the Japanese army invaded less than 12 kilometers away from Star City. At that time, the materials and facilities that could not be taken away were set on fire and burned to prevent them from being used by the Japanese army. However, the Japanese invaders did not enter Xingcheng, but the fire broke out, which eventually killed more than 15 people in Changsha, and more than 30000% of the city The houses were burned down, making Star City, along with Stalingrad, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the most severely damaged city in World War II. It was one of the three major tragedies in the history of my country's Anti-Japanese War, together with the Huayuankou embankment and the Chongqing air-raid shelter tragedy. one"

"For Star City, it also suffered an irreparable loss. This fire destroyed the cultural accumulation of Star City since the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, and the cultural relics on the ground were destroyed to almost zero. As one of the few ancient cities in China that has remained unchanged for more than 2000 years, It's such a sad thing"

Although Cheng Mo's tone was calm, it contained a sense of pity and regret, which suddenly made the atmosphere heavy.

No one spoke for a while, and after a while, Bai Xiuxiu said: "Although Jiang XX shot Wen Chongfu, Xu Kun, and Feng Ti to death afterwards, there is no doubt that these three people are responsible for the blame. These three people are Huangpu He came out of the military academy. Mr. Feng and my grandfather knew each other. He was Jiang’s favorite student in the first class of Whampoa. He served twice as the director of the Political Department of Whampoa Military Academy. He was a core member of the Fuxin Society. At that time, Mr. Feng left his wife and children in Chongqing to express his determination. , I went to Star City, the focus of the War of Resistance, by myself. With the garrison commander's distinction between public and private, he refused all promotion arrangements for relatives and friends. It can be said that Duke Feng is a very responsible and responsible person. After the death of Duke Feng, Zhang Zhizhong presented Feng Ti Madam 5 yuan, Zhang Zhizhong's heavy family Feng's family, may have been specially instructed by Jiang. There is no doubt that Duke Feng's death was paid on behalf of the master. At that time, Duke Zhou and Guo Moruo were both in Xingcheng, and they were almost burned to death."

Wen Xi nodded and sighed: "Every time I talk about this matter, my grandfather is heartbroken, and he gave me such a name. No matter how many people are shot, this matter will not clear up the invincibility of the Kuomintang. There is no reason for it."

Bai Xiuxiu turned her head and asked Cheng Mo: "Lin Zhinuo, if you want to be in Jiang's position, what should you do?"
