The entertainment tycoon of the Republic of China

Foreigners... do they all talk like this?

Some of the listeners here are from good families, but even if they have met foreigners, they have not had the opportunity to communicate with each other. Seeing Mr. Shun's serious and funny appearance, it is inevitable to be puzzled.

However, many foreign women seem to have this kind of expression when they speak, so listen to Mr., when all foreigners speak like this!

Everyone in the teahouse quickly decided to come and continue listening to the story.The foreigners in Hankou put a big pot on their heads unknowingly, and it was not until a long time later that they realized why those Chinese people who were afraid of them were secretly laughing behind their backs.

At this time, Xie Yan, who was still thinking about how to make up the follow-up story based on the audience's reaction, did not expect that the dubbed accent proposed for fun turned out to be the beginning of Hankou people no longer avoiding foreigners.

Aisha was tricked by her stepmother into a boat to China, and her stepmother's lover also accompanied her. Although the old servant was worried about Aisha, he needed to guard the garden and could not accompany him. Gadgets, just in case.

When she was on the boat, the stepmother used many methods to frame Aisha, but because Aisha always obeyed the old servant's instructions, she stayed in the cabin and didn't go out casually when she arrived in China, so all those tricks came to nothing.

Mr. Shun's narration is vivid and vivid, showing the viciousness and cunning of the stepmother and the innocence and loveliness of Aisha to the fullest. The mood of the listener can't help but fluctuate with the storyline. Every time the stepmother makes a trick, he will curse. Aisha is relieved to escape the danger .

Not only that, the lovely and kind-hearted Aisha has also been loved by many ladies in the concession and has become everyone's favorite.Seeing this, the stepmother was angry and hated, knowing that if she didn't act quickly, she would have no chance.

So after discussing with her lover, the stepmother bribed a priest in the church in the concession to announce that the devil had seduced a good man in the concession, and God was about to punish him.The stepmother secretly hid the bodies of dead mice and black cats in Aisha's room, and cut her arm with a silver knife, saying that she had been possessed by the devil.

The priest who was bribed took Aisha back, and soon announced that the devil had awakened and he could not exorcise the demon. For the safety of everyone, he wanted to put Aisha in a sealed cross coffin and sink it into the river!

"What the hell is a devil? That man can't even drive out ghosts, so he has the guts to be a priest?"

"I've been to the concession once before, and a group of people in robes in the church are so majestic, so they are all black-hearted ghosts like this!"

"Sink a seven or eight-year-old girl into the river? It's not so cruel to soak a pig cage."

……

From the nineteenth century to the beginning of the twentieth century, Western countries sent many missionaries to invade China. On the one hand, these missionaries were doing charitable teachings, and on the other hand, they were secretly collecting information to disturb the hearts of the people.

Xie Yan thought of this when making up the story, and slandered them by the way, as a reminder to the people of Hankou, don't trust those missionaries completely.

Mr. Shun saw that everyone was very interested in Western priests, so he stopped the book and told Xie Yan about a lot of half-truths and half-fake missionaries. There are good and bad. I was stunned for a moment.

"Everyone, we just mentioned that little Aisha was put into a coffin by the priest, and a total of 24 nails were nailed into it. They were carried to the riverside overnight and thrown away. Two flowers bloomed, each representing a branch, on the other side. , there is one more thing I need to explain to all of you." After Mr. Shun finished talking about the missionary, he returned to the topic without getting enough.

"You guys live by the pier. You know that there are generally three types of workers on the pier: those who follow the ship to and fro, those who unload and move things on the pier, and those who live on the pier to look at the goods at night. Today I want to say This person is an old man in his 50s, childless, and his poor leg is still lame, and he lives on the pier to watch the goods for his owner to eat."

"This old man is Yan Laowu. His parents died early and his life was poor. He finally married a wife in his 30s and gave birth to a girl. One day he went out to work, but when he came back, he found that his wife was bullied to death by foreigners. The girl who was a few years old was also strangled to death by the side. He went out to chase foreigners and wanted revenge. In the winter, he stepped into a hole in the ice and poked an inch-long steel needle into his foot. Fortunately, he was caught by a passing boat. After being rescued, they were dragged all the way to Hankou City."

"The world was turned upside down overnight, everyone. My wife is gone, my child is dead, and I have a crippled leg. This is the end of Yan Laowu's life." Mr. Shun sighed, his voice full of regret and hatred, "He didn't Money to go home, there is nothing to do when I go back, I wanted to die, but I didn’t repay my life-saving grace, so I simply stayed on the pier to help the boss who rescued him watch the goods, no wages, just a meal.”

"But the hatred in his heart hasn't disappeared after so many years. He thought to himself, if he was given a chance to meet another foreigner! He would definitely risk his life to kill him. He should report it to the underground wife and children. Enmity, and then the whole family will be reunited."

"But where did he get the chance? His leg can't walk a mile, and foreigners don't come to the pier where the goods are moved, so he can only think in his heart."

Mr. Shun's voice became calm again, and he said gracefully, those who have read the book know that the story is about to reach its climax—if it is this Yan Laowu who caught Aisha, will he save Aisha? ?

"I can't let go of the revenge of killing my wife and son!"

"The one who killed his wife and daughter was someone else. You can't just kill foreigners when you see them, right?"

"Little Aisha is only seven or eight years old. She was the same age as his daughter when she died. His wife and daughter died tragically. So how did little Aisha offend him?!"

……

The book readers started arguing again. Mr. Shun just said what little Aisha said vividly, vividly and kindly. Although he is a foreigner, he also made everyone who listened to the book love him.

She is just a little girl who pulls the curtain for the driver in a rickshaw to thank the driver, and makes faces when she sees waifs secretly stuffing biscuits. No matter how serious the sins of foreigners are, they should not be punished on her!

"Sometimes things in this world are so coincidental." Mr. Shun continued, "When Yan Laowu was in his hometown, he raised a big wolf dog named Heizi, but he never saw it again when he came to Hankou. He just saw it that night. Wan Huan was planning to go back to the house to rest for a while, when suddenly he heard a dog barking by the river, the barking was almost exactly the same as that of Heizi."

"Yan Laowu has never stopped homesick these years. When he heard the dog barking, his whole body became straight. Could it be that Heizi swam down the river to find him? He hurriedly dragged his legs to the riverside. , I didn’t see a dog when I got there, but I saw a reflective thing floating in the river, which seemed to be inlaid with silver.”

"What's floating in the water at night? Yan Laowu couldn't hold back his curiosity, and wanted to make a small fortune. When he was young, he made a living picking up goods for boats that got stuck on the pier. With a long iron hook, I hooked that thing with a clever effort."

"Things are getting closer and bigger. Yan Laowu's eyes are not working well at night. It was not until he went to the shore and took a closer look that he realized that it was actually a strangely shaped coffin!"

"What is this thing! Yan Laowu was covered in cold sweat on his back, rubbing his legs and wanted to run back. At this time, there was a knocking sound from inside the coffin!"

"Dong dong dong!" Mr. Shun knocked on the table three times with the handle of his fan, simulating the situation.

"Yan Laowu turned his head and looked. The coffin was wide in the middle and narrow at both ends. It was inlaid with a silver cross. It looked like something from a foreigner. The sound inside the coffin was still knocking, dong dong dong dong. , it doesn’t sound like a ghost but like a person.”

"Once upon a time, Yan Laowu heard from the old people in the village that once you see this kind of thing, you can't hide from it. The more you want to run away, the tighter it will be. If you are bold, it will not dare to mess around. Yan Laowu thought to himself , I’m already a dead person, so I’m still afraid of this foreigner’s thing? He gritted his teeth, picked up a big shovel at hand, and pried it down, and the top of the coffin was actually made a big hole!”

"Yan Laowu gasped heavily, staring at the coffin. When he started smashing the coffin, there was no movement inside. He wanted to see what was causing the trouble."

"The wind on the river kept blowing, and the clouds floated back and forth, covering the moon, and it became darker all around. At this moment, Yan Laowu saw a black figure emerging from the hole! He was shocked. , raised the shovel with a bang, and slammed it down on the black shadow's head—"

"If you want to know what's going on, please listen to the next chapter—decomposition!"

"Crack!" Mr. Shun slapped Xingmu hard, awakening everyone who was immersed in the plot.

"This is the end?"

"Then Yan Laowu caught up with little Aisha?!"

"He won't smash Aisha to death!"

……

Only then did the readers realize that the time was six o'clock in the afternoon, and today's storytelling is over.At first, the book readers who were listening casually were all unsatisfied, and asked Mr. Shun about the plot behind them.

Mr. Shun, who left a big book button, was cheerful, and punched the audience, "You will understand the story behind this tomorrow, you must leave some food for us."

In fact, the time was short today, Xie Yan only had time to tell him the story around here, and Mr. Shun himself didn't know what the plot would be like.

"Mr. Shun, I, Gu Junzhi, have traveled all over the world, and I think I have heard a lot of books, but this is the first time I have heard this Hankou Romance. Could it be a new book that you made up yourself?" A middle-aged man in a silk mandarin jacket stood up and asked.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone reacted and asked questions one after another. Although Hankou is known as Xidao, there are not many really good new books. They must first ask about the origin of this book before they can tell others.

Mr. Shun smiled when he heard the words, and looked through the ups and downs of the crowd to find Xie Yan who was holding a teapot in the corner. The two looked at each other, and Mr. Shun cupped his hands again, "This book is indeed a new one, but I didn't edit it. The person who wrote the book did not want to be named, but he has a nickname called 'Mr.

Xie Yan heard people around talking about who Mr. Awakener was and why he was so mysterious, so he didn't answer, and walked towards the back hall with the teapot in his arms.

When he proposed this morning, there were only shopkeeper Liu, Mr. Shun, Li Quan and himself in the front hall of the teahouse, and when he talked about the details later, he went to the private room on the second floor, so no one knew that he edited the book, thank you Yan also didn't want to make a big splash when he first arrived without any support, so he asked Mr. Shun not to reveal his real name.

The modern person means that he came from the modern age, so let's use this name as a substitute for himself to be famous.

Xie Yan put the teapot back in the back hall, took a big bun from Li Quan and took a bite. He is not a person with outstanding writing skills, but he is definitely a person who is good at making up stories, because he has seen too many people in his previous life as a lawyer. There are many real joys and sorrows, and too many characteristics of people with different identities are recorded.

The response of Hankou Qiyuan was much better than he expected. While watching at the teahouse today, Xie Yan had already made a preliminary judgment on the aesthetics of the audience in this era. Tomorrow, Mr. Shun will talk about the next content. He had to think more about designing the plot.

Xie Yan stretched his waist, and took another sip of hot water. Once he had something specific to do, he was full of motivation. I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but even his body improved a lot.
