Literary Heroes of the Republic of China

Fu Yun'an was ill for several days.

A few days later, the rash on his body completely subsided, leaving only faint dark marks that would disappear in a few days, and he looked more energetic than before he fell ill.

In the past few days, Mu Qiong has been staying in the hospital, accompanying Fu Yun'an, and writing novels by the way.

He has finished writing "Silk Township".

He didn't break apart this book to write down all the members of Zhu's family in detail. The whole book is less than 20 words, so he wrote it very quickly.

Of course, there is another reason why he can write so fast, and that is that his writing speed is getting faster and faster.

When he first came, even if he had a lot of ideas in his mind, he could only write seven or eight hundred words with a pen in an hour, but now, he can write more than 1000 words for an hour with full concentration.

Of course, the handwriting must be a little bit scribbled, and some traditional characters with many strokes will be missing arms and legs when writing.

But these don't matter, in fact, at this moment, many people will do this. Those who take notes in class, sometimes only they can understand the notes they make.

Mu Qiong's handwriting is considered pretty good, at least the person who copied it never made a mistake when copying it.

In the finale of "Silk Township", Fu Yun'an is the first reader.

Zhu Si, who returned to Zhu's house, had seen all kinds of filth, and learned that her second uncle who always praised him wanted him to die, and her heart hardened.

He collected the power of the Zhu family, drove away the Zhu family who wanted to harm him, and hired some young and strong men to form a guard team, and then started from the common people to change the silk industry.

As for Xiao Sang, she was out of tune with the wealthy Zhu family, and she also had a gap with Zhu Ju who regained her memory and no longer put her first. Zhu Si couldn't make it to the end.

She was a little depressed and moody for a while, and it was at this time that she found out that she was pregnant.

Being a mother is strong, Xiao Sang completely abandoned the original complaints and began to work hard for the child in her womb.

Not only did she find someone to teach herself how to read, she also bought many rare things from Shanghai by means of red silk, and then sold them among women she knew to earn the difference.

With money in her hands, her spirit improved, and then she began to think of more ways to make money.

A few years later, Zhusi was successful, and his factory produced raw silk and gorgeous silk of the highest quality.

Xiao Sang's achievements are not as good as his, but she has also changed.

When she first arrived at Zhu's house, she didn't understand anything, made a lot of jokes, and felt inferior because of it, and now, she still doesn't understand a lot, but she is confident enough that she doesn't care about those at all.

She and Zhu Si finally reconciled as before.

When someone asked Zhu Silk why he fell in love with Xiao Sang who was born in the countryside.

Zhu Silk said: "Our country is now in the mud. Compared with the great powers, it is the difference between a village girl and a famous lady, but I still love her and try to make her better. Why can't I like my wife? "

"My wife has been working very hard. I believe that she will get better and better, just like I believe that my motherland will get better and better."

In the previous books, Mu Qiong wrote about feelings, but basically they were all in one stroke, but in this "Silk Township", he wrote the relationship between Zhu Ju and Xiao Sang very well.

From the sweetness at the beginning, to the entanglement in the middle, to the mutual acquaintance at the end, Mu Qiong wrote very delicately.

"Your feelings are well written this time." Fu Yun'an couldn't help but said.

"That is, after all, I have someone I like now." Mu Qiong laughed.

Fu Yun'an's heart skipped a beat.Mu Qiong is very good at talking about love, he always feels that he is a bit overwhelmed.

Then he was kissed.

Mu Qiong kissed someone, and said again: "Yun'an, I'm going to the Dazhong Daily editorial office today, you should rest well in the hospital."

"Okay." Fu Yunan said.

Mu Qiong tidied up and left, and as soon as Mu Qiong left, Fu Yun'an called Sun Dalin and asked Sun Dalin to hand over the matters that needed to be dealt with.

"Didn't you receive a letter from Mr. Tianxing?" Fu Yunan asked curiously.

"Third Young Master, no." Sun Dalin said.

Fu Yun'an was a little helpless, but it was hard to say anything.

At this time, Mu Qiong had already hailed a rickshaw and headed to the editorial office of Dazhong Daily.

Editor-in-chief Li of Dazhong Daily's editorial department burst into laughter when he saw Mu Qiong.The "Silk Township" written by Mu Qiong this time is much more popular than the previous "Wanderings", and it has increased the sales of Dazhong Daily and the discussion has also increased a lot... In his eyes, Mu Qiong is just a trick Cai doll.

""Silk Township" is over." Mu Qiong gave the [-]-word manuscript he had written in the past few days to Editor-in-Chief Li.

"So fast?" Editor-in-Chief Li was a little surprised. He hoped that Mu Qiong could write "Silk Town" as long as "Wandering", but...it ended so soon? "What is the new book, do you have any ideas?"

"Already have." Mu Qiong said: "The new book is about a woman as the protagonist, and the name is "Metamorphosis"."

The protagonist of the book "Metamorphosis" is a woman born in the countryside, named Axiu.

She had a hard life since she was a child, because she was treated harshly by her parents because she was a girl. Later, in order to raise money for her younger brother to go to school, she was sold by her parents to a wealthy family as a maid.

Because she was good-looking and of the right age, she was finally able to accompany the young lady of their family.

Miss has the opportunity to read and write, but she doesn't like it, but Axiu likes it very much.

She always remembered that when she was young, Grandpa Zhou, the most respected person in their village, said that if you want to change your destiny, you have to read books, and there are everything in books.

She wanted to know why she was born inferior, so she kept studying hard. However, the "Women's Ring" she read from the young lady kept telling her that women were inherently inferior.

And she disagrees.

Later, the young lady got married and married a new-style person.

Axiu has a lot of deviant ideas, but her young lady is a very traditional woman, she doesn't know how to please people, she has learned a lot of rules, so her husband naturally doesn't like her.

Axiu tried her best to make the young lady change, but the young lady reprimanded Axiu and alienated Axiu. Axiu, she was lucky enough to read a few books that her uncle kept at home and read some newspapers, which opened up a new world. vision.

Unfortunately, she is not in control of her own life.

She was extremely beautiful and loved reading, which aroused the jealousy of the young lady, who was afraid that she would rob her husband, so she married her to a son who was in charge.

This book, Mu Qiong has written here for the time being, Axiu's life has just begun.

"Your book must be liked by many people. Of course, there must be many people who don't like it." Editor-in-Chief Li read the beginning and said, Axiu in this book is very likable, and some of the things she said The words are also thought-provoking.

For example, Axiu once persuaded her young lady to study. She felt that reading must be useful, otherwise those men would not try their best to study.

For another example, Axiu feels that the value of a woman is not just to bear sons.If a woman only knows how to give birth, how is it different from a sow?

She even felt that when a man binds a woman's feet, he actually wants to break the woman's feet so that the woman cannot leave the house.

"I know." Mu Qiong said: "I don't ask everyone to like it."

Editor-in-Chief Li already knew about Mu Qiong's temper, and he also knew something about Mu Qiong's book.

No matter how much those old-fashioned scolds, they can't stop Mu Qiong's book from being popular... This world is slowly changing.

That being the case, Mu Qiong can write whatever he likes.

Mu Qiong kept both the ending of "Silk Township" and the beginning of the new book, and when he left, he took away his manuscript fee.

He was quite happy after making a fortune... Taking the money, Mu Qiong first went to buy a melon cap, a fur coat with a stand-up collar, put on a pair of sunglasses, and then went to a restaurant for dinner.

It was only around ten o'clock in the morning when he arrived at the restaurant. There was no one in the restaurant, and the owner's son and waiter walked around him very attentively.

Mu Qiong gave him one yuan and asked him to buy some food for himself, and then went to the silk shop to get a package.

The shop waiter went there immediately, and after a while, he brought back what Mu Qiong wanted.

In the package from the silk and satin shop, Xilin was put... Mu Qiong asked for a basket to pack it together, walked out of the hotel gate, and then wandered aimlessly, wandering around in secluded places.

No one followed him.

There are no high-tech means such as bugs these days, and tracking can only be done by real people. If someone is following him, even if he can't find it in the downtown area, he will definitely be able to find it in a secluded place.

Now that nothing has been found, it means that no one is following him.

Speaking of which, what he did just now was too careful.

Since Third Young Master Huo promised not to investigate him, he would definitely not do anything more. As for the others, they would not pay attention to him at all.

Mu Qiong took off his clothes and hat and went to the house Jiang Xinchun gave him.

After he received this house, he has never seen it in the future.

At first, he wanted to find Fu Yun'an to come and see it together, but he was too busy to forget about the plague... Until now, he has never told Fu Yun'an about this house.

When Mu Qiong arrived at the gate of the house, he saw that the door was open. He was a little surprised and walked in.

This house is a small two-storey western-style building. It is not big but very beautiful, and the design is extremely exquisite. As soon as Mu Qiong entered, a middle-aged man in his forties greeted him.

"You are Mr. Mu, right?" When the man saw Mu Qiong, he immediately nodded and bowed with enthusiasm.

If Mu Qiong had encountered this situation when he was reborn, he would definitely not be used to it, but now he has traveled through time for a long time, but he is already used to it.

Rickshaw drivers on the road, servants in other people's homes, waiters in shops... There are too many people who will show such a flattering look when they see him.

After Mu Qiong asked a few words, he learned that this middle-aged man was the housekeeper of this house.

When Jiang Xinchun gave him this house, he also gave him a family of servants - the middle-aged man in front of him is the housekeeper, his wife is the cook, and his two children are the male servant and the female servant.

Jiang Xinchun has already given them a year's salary for this family, and if Mu Qiong is satisfied with them, he can keep them, and if he is not satisfied, he can drive them away.

They wanted to stay, so when facing Mu Qiong at this moment, they seemed too obsequious.

The house is very clean, and what surprises Mu Qiong is that the house is fully equipped with bedding and utensils, even the bedroom on the second floor is equipped with a safe.

The so-called wallet is a safe, the most stylish these days is to hang a gun on the waist, and the second most stylish is to hang a wallet key on the waist.

Mu Qiong originally planned to put the penicillin that was not needed for the time being here, but now he put it in the safe, and then locked the master bedroom, so that the housekeeper surnamed Qian could not enter it.

Butler Qian repeatedly said yes.

Seeing this, Mu Qiong left the address of the orphanage to Steward Qian: "If you are willing to work in the orphanage, I will give you another salary. As for this house... you can live here at night, and you can live there at any time." Just clean it up."

"Thank you, Mr. Mu!" Qian Butler said gratefully.

Their family has no land, and they don't earn much as housekeepers, but their expenses can't be reduced. In Shanghai, buying rice is much more expensive than elsewhere.

His son needs a bride price when he marries a daughter-in-law, and his daughter needs a dowry when he marries a wife. He is very willing to have an extra job.

Mu Qiong is also very satisfied with this situation.

This family went to the orphanage. Although they needed to be paid, they didn't need to pay too much... It's good.

Mu-joon puts down the penicillin and leaves.

He can't use this medicine for the time being, but it may be useful in the future. After all, judging by Huo Ying's appearance, he doesn't plan to sell penicillin publicly for the time being.

This is quite normal. Even if Huo Ying's factory can already mass-produce penicillin, the supply must be in short supply for the time being.

Mu Qiong went back to Ping An Hospital after finishing all the chores, and when he went back, Fu Yun'an was talking to Sun Dalin.

"Mr. Mu, you are back." Sun Dalin greeted Mu Qiong with a smile: "Mr. Mu, there is good news, the plague has been brought under control!"

This plague broke out quite suddenly, and so far, five or six hundred people have been infected.

In the past, there should be more people who get sick, and then hundreds of people die. Of course, people don't take it too seriously these days.

But this time is different. Now, the plague is not spreading much, and only three of those who got the plague have died so far.

And these three people...even if they don't get scarlet fever, they might die.

Of these three people, one was a baby who was still in the swaddling position and was so hungry that his head was big and his body was small because his mother had no breast milk. After he got sick, he didn’t want to eat. Although he was injected with penicillin, he died soon.

One was a five or six-year-old girl whose father loved beating people. When she was sent to the ruined temple, she not only contracted scarlet fever, her ribs were broken, and she was out of breath.

The last one is an old man. He is also in very poor health, and he really can't get better.

As for the rest of the people... most of them didn't get injected with Xilin at all. Huo Ying fed them protein-rich food every day and gave them a piece of vitamin C every day. These people's bodies slowly recovered by themselves.

Of course, some patients were seriously ill and couldn't get better by themselves. Those patients were all injected with penicillin.

After injecting penicillin, these people improved quickly.

After suffering from an illness, the condition of the patients in the ruined temple seems to be better than before the illness.

Before, they didn't have the opportunity to eat meat and eggs every meal.

"Mr. Mu, those people are all grateful to Second Young Master Huo!" Sun Dalin looked very happy.

"Second Young Master Huo is really good." Mu Qiong said, then frowned and glanced at Sun Dalin.

Sun Dalin admired Huo Ying very much, which made him feel weird.

Sun Dalin didn't notice Mu Qiong's strangeness, and said: "Too many people saw those patients in the past, and some of them accidentally got sick. They wanted to buy Xilin from Huo Ershao, but Huo Ershao prescribed it. Not to mention the high price, they are also required to inject on the spot..."

Mu Qiong knew why Sun Dalin was so happy, and he was also very happy to hear the news.

He can guarantee that among those people, someone must have contracted the disease on purpose and wanted to use Xilin for research, but as soon as Huo Ershao came and made such a move, their plan fell through.

Huo Ying can't hide Xilin for too long. People from other countries will be able to research Xilin sooner or later.

After all, penicillin is not a difficult thing to cultivate. Let’s talk about their country... When New China was first established, their country had to import penicillin, but within a few years, they were able to produce it themselves.

However, if those countries don't grab what Huo Ying has, they will definitely not be able to mass-produce penicillin in the past two years.

Historically, in 1928, some scientists discovered penicillin, but they could not be purified. It was not until 1942 that an American company could produce it in large quantities.

Sun Dalin said a lot of things before leaving, and as soon as he left, Fu Yun'an looked at Mu Qiong: "My illness is cured, you don't have to guard me anymore."

Mu Qiong has been staying in the hospital, and it is inconvenient for him to do things here, and it may not be convenient for Mu Qiong to do anything himself.

"I know, but Yun'an, when you recover your health, come and practice martial arts with me." Mu Qiong said.

Fu Yun'an probably agreed to what Mu Qiong asked before.

In fact, he didn't know how to maintain a relationship, so he just followed Mu Qiong.

But this time...he didn't agree.

"I don't like to practice martial arts." Fu Yun'an said, when he was abroad, he had learned how to use guns and practiced on purpose, and then he found that he really didn't like these things, and he didn't have the skills.

He is very busy, and if he wants to practice martial arts, he must make time for it. In this way, he is doomed to sacrifice his sleep time. He will be too tired after exercising, and it will also affect his work——When he was exercising, his body would instead It got worse.

Of course, he doesn't object to walking with Mu Qiong for half an hour every day.

After being with Mu Qiong, he would set aside part of his time every day to spend time with Mu Qiong.

"Your body is too weak." Mu Qiong looked at Fu Yun'an disapprovingly.

"This matter... Let's talk about it later." Fu Yun'an said.

Fu Yun'an is obviously very repulsive to exercise... Mu Qiong is not easy to force, after thinking about it, he finally decided to take Fu Yun'an for more walks in the future.

The plague incident had some impact in Shanghai, and of course, it mainly affected people at the top.

Some regretted their lives. After learning about the plague, they ran away with the old family. They didn't run back until the plague was under control. At the same time, many people with diseases that needed penicillin to treat came to Huo Ying's medical team bought penicillin to treat himself.

Fifteen silver dollars per injection, the price is clearly marked, and the injection can be given with the money... Huo Ying's medical team has made a lot of money in just a few days, and they mainly treat syphilis.

Almost every day, well-dressed men and women, wearing masks and hats, ran to the shanty town, and then asked Huo Ying's people to inject them with penicillin.

These men can do everything, and these women are mostly prostitutes in Shiliyangchang, and of course there are also wives who were accidentally infected by their husbands.

Mu Qiong just heard about these things, but didn't care about them.

What he has to do now is to celebrate the New Year and birthday.

In the blink of an eye, it's December again, not to mention, it's the end of the year.

And his birthday is the nineteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

At this time, older people pay attention to birthdays, but young people don't celebrate birthdays very much. Mu Qiong's birthday last year, he himself forgot, but Zhu Wanwan, even though she was busy studying in Ping'an Middle School, she still missed him. He made a bowl of longevity noodles, but nothing else.

But this year's birthday, Mu Qiong planned to have a good time.

People in Shanghai like to talk about false age, but he has developed a habit in modern times and likes to talk about his first birthday, and after this birthday, his body will be eighteen years old.

He was finally an adult.

Mu Qiong planned to book two tables in a nearby restaurant and invite those close to him to come over for dinner.

On the one hand, he celebrated his own birthday, and on the other hand, he also celebrated Fu Yun'an's recovery from illness.

On the day of Mu Qiong's birthday, eight days have passed since Fu Yunan fell ill, and it has been two or three days since Fu Yunan recovered.

Early this morning, Mu Qiong and Fu Yun'an walked to the hospital together. After arriving at the hospital, he asked Fu Yun'an to go to work while he went to practice martial arts.

After practicing for an hour, Mu Qiong went to Fu Yun'an to take a shower, and instead of going back to work in the editorial department of Education Monthly as usual, he went to find Jiang Fengming.

After Mu Qiong asked Jiang Xinchun to help deal with Mu Yongxue and Zhu Boyuan, he got in touch with Jiang Xinchun, Jiang Fengming and his son.

And not long ago, Mu Qiong ordered a gun with Jiang Fengming.

When Mu Qiong first practiced martial arts with Huang Yang, he wanted to buy a gun.In this era, it is necessary to prepare yourself with some self-defense weapons.

But he never found the right one.

At this time, in the market, a gun can be bought with dozens of silver dollars, and the cheapest twenty silver dollars is enough, but most of these guns are very simple domestic guns, and Mu Qiong really doesn't like them.

What he wants is a gun that is not small in power but small in size, and this kind of gun needs to be imported, and there is no way to buy it.

He could follow Huo Ying's way to buy it, but he never understood why Huo Ying treated him differently without knowing that he was lucky, so he didn't do that-if he went to Huo Ying, Huo Ying Most likely they would send him off, but that would be indebted to Huo Ying.

Knowing Jiang Xinchun and Jiang Fengming is different now... Mu Qiong went to Jiang Fengming a few days ago and offered to buy a gun and matching bullets.
