Literary Heroes of the Republic of China

Because Britain openly sold opium in Shanghai for huge profits by taking advantage of the privileges of the concession, there were many opium smokers in Shanghai at that time.

Some people have money, but they smoke all the time, some people have no money, or they smoke and run out of money, and there are many people who end up living on the streets and becoming beggars.

The man in front of him has not yet become a beggar, but he is not far away.

Dr. Fu tried to persuade him, but he didn't appreciate it. He said angrily, "Aren't you rich? You are willing to give others medicine, why don't you give it to me?"

As he was talking, he burst into tears again, begged, and grabbed Doctor Fu: "Doctor Fu, you are a good person, please, give me some medicine..."

Dr. Fu took a step back, but instead of catching Dr. Fu, he fell headfirst to the ground.

But it was all like this, he still didn't give up, and crawled towards Dr. Fu again.

Seeing Dr. Fu frowning and looking at the people on the ground, Mu Qiong was afraid that Dr. Fu, who had a good temper, would soften his heart, so he said immediately: "Dr. Fu, let's go!"

Dr. Fu took a look at Mu Qiong, and followed Mu Qiong forward.

And behind them, the person who asked Dr. Fu for "medicine" was still rolling on the ground. It was unknown whether he knew that Dr. Fu would definitely not want to give him the medicine, or because he couldn't get up, he didn't follow.

"Doctor Fu, you must not pay attention to this kind of people, and you must not soften your heart to them, or they will pester you." Mu Qiong said.

"I know." Doctor Fu nodded.

Mu Qiong didn't quite believe it. Was it because Dr. Fu had given him something out of soft-heartedness that the man asked Dr. Fu for medicine?

Dr. Fu saw Mu Qiong's doubts, and explained: "I have a painkiller made of morphine. I usually don't give this medicine to people, but some patients are terminally ill and suffering, and I will also give it to people. How many of them... When this man's grandma came to me for treatment, I gave some. I don't know how he took the medicine, and found that the medicine could suppress his opium addiction, so I started pestering him I want it, I've been pestering it for days, but I never gave it."

Morphine is extracted from opium and is also a drug, but at this time it is often used by Western medicine as a pain reliever, and Western medicine even uses morphine to help others quit opium.

But in fact, morphine addiction is more terrifying than opium addiction.

A certain young marshal in history suffered a lot from his morphine addiction.

In the middle and late period of the Republic of China, the United States, Japan and other countries were jealous of Britain making so much money from opium, so they began to sell morphine and other drugs to the Chinese to make money... This history is actually a history of blood and tears for this country.

Thinking of this, Mu Qiong felt a little heavy in his heart, but he quickly cheered up and changed the subject: "Doctor Fu, I want to thank you for speaking for me at the beginning... Let me treat you to a hamburger from our western restaurant! "

After buying the pen, he didn't have much money on him, but it was still affordable to treat Dr. Fu to a hamburger.

"Burger?" Dr. Fu was puzzled.

At this time, hamburgers probably haven't become popular abroad yet... Mu Qiong said, "It's just two slices of bread with a piece of fried pork cutlet sandwiched between them."

"So it's like this...you don't need to ask, I just buy it and try it myself." Dr. Fu said.

"Doctor Fu, just let me invite you. I still have something to ask you." Mu Qiong said.

"What do you want to ask?" Doctor Fu asked.

Mu Qiong asked: "Dr. Fu, have you ever studied abroad? I want to know something about foreign countries."

"I have been abroad for several years, and I just returned to China," Dr. Fu said, "Do you want to go abroad?"

Mu Qiong shook his head: "No, I just want to know a little about the situation outside and broaden my horizons. Dr. Fu, how are the overseas students living abroad?"

"It's time to learn more about the world." Dr. Fu looked at Mu Qiong appreciatively: "As for the foreign students abroad... Don't look at the foreign students who came back from abroad, but in fact, most of them didn't have a good life when they were abroad. good."

Mu Qiong also felt uncomfortable, but it was not surprising.

Even in modern times, Chinese people will be discriminated against abroad, let alone this time.

"I've already had breakfast, and I'm rushing to the hospital, so I don't need a hamburger. Let me tell you something about foreign countries along the way." Dr. Fu said, and then he started talking.

He talked about the life of some international students abroad. For example, an international student was really not used to eating foreign food. He tried to start a fire by himself, but the oily smoke was too much and he was kicked out by the landlord. He also talked about the campus of a foreign university. What is the hall like...

Mu Qiong listened carefully, and before they knew it, they walked to Gongji Hospital.

Doctor Fu smiled and said, "Goodbye."

Mu Qiong waved his hand: "Goodbye, Doctor Fu!"

After saying goodbye to Dr. Fu, Mu Qiong immediately ran to the western restaurant.

It was after nine o'clock when he arrived at the western restaurant, which was quite early, but there was already a long queue at the entrance of the western restaurant.

They have eaten the hamburger Muqiong in the western restaurant. In fact, it may not be very delicious, but it is fresh and interesting, and it is in line with the taste of Chinese people.

Lettuce can’t be bought in Shanghai now, so they don’t put lettuce leaves in their burgers, which is difficult for Shanghainese to accept at that time. Crispy pork chops that definitely don't taste bad.

At this time, people rarely have entertainment, and they are willing to see something new. No, not only people who come to the concession come to buy it, but even people who live nearby come to buy it, and wait for the line to line up...

Many passers-by saw this scene and naturally came to ask. After asking, many people lined up directly...

As soon as Mu Qiong entered the store, he saw Boss Chen, who was very drunk yesterday and talked a lot of nonsense, standing behind the counter, collecting money with a smile on his face, and greeting some people he knew in the line.

He looked as usual, and it seemed that he was not the same person who was crying last night.

Xiao Wang and the others were also working energetically. Probably because of the good meal last night, they all seemed to have endless energy.

Mu Qiong found a cabinet to put down the things he bought, and then got busy.

At noon that day, they didn't have time to eat. In the end, they took turns eating an egg burger and some toasted bread before continuing to work.

This busy work lasted until four o'clock in the afternoon, and at this time, all the things they prepared were sold out.

"Today there is nothing to eat in the store, so let's ignore the food. I will give you a dime each, and you can go out and buy something to eat." Boss Chen said, took out some silver coins, and gave each of them a dime.

Everyone is smiling.

You can only eat a hamburger in a western restaurant for a dime, and even those who eat a lot of food can’t get enough, but they can eat well outside, and you can buy more than a dozen meat buns.

Of course, most of them will not go out to eat.

It would be nice to eat something casually at home and save a dime!

But Mu Qiong didn't save this dime—he bought two burgers in advance, one with fried pork chops and the other with eggs.

Boss Chen gave him an internal price, which added up to just a dime.

He planned to take the egg hamburger back for Zhu Wanwan and Mu Changyu to taste. As for the pork cutlet hamburger... Mu Qiong wrapped the hamburger and took it to Gongji Hospital.

He had inquired that Gongji Hospital went to work very late, but got off work very early, and the working hours were from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] pm.

As for being on duty at night... At this time, most doctors don't need to do this. At most, they are called to see a doctor at night when a certain important person is unwell.

When Mu Qiong ran to Gongji Hospital, some medical staff were walking out.

There are foreigners working in the hospital, so the security guards at the gate are always on guard and don't allow people to approach at all.

In fact, no one came close, and the common people were always full of awe for such a place.

Mu Qiong stood by and waited for a while, and then Dr. Fu arrived.

"Doctor Fu!" Mu Qiong greeted with a smile.

Dr. Fu was a little surprised to see him, and then smiled: "Why are you here?"

"Doctor Fu, treat you to a hamburger." Mu Qiong gave Dr. Fu the hamburger wrapped in paper.

Dr. Fu was taken aback, then accepted the burger: "Thank you. What else do you want to ask?"

"I'm rushing home today, so I won't ask any more." Mu Qiong waved at Dr. Fu and left.

He actually wanted to ask, but Dr. Fu has been busy all day, and he must be rushing home for dinner now, he doesn't want to waste other people's time, so I'd better ask next time when I have time.

Speaking of which, just a hamburger is actually a little too much to give away, but he is temporarily unable to give it away... Even if Dr. Fu doesn't like it himself, he can give it to others.

Moreover, Dr. Fu should not be against eating fried pork cutlets, he has come to the store to eat twice.

Dr. Fu, who does not dislike eating fried pork chops, watched Mu Qiong leave, looked at the hamburger in his hand and smiled.

He lived not far from Gongji Hospital, and it took only 10 minutes to walk there.

He stood in front of an old wooden door, knocked on the door, and someone opened it.

Not only is the door old here, but the house is also a bit old and quite small.

When entering the door, there is a small courtyard of about ten square meters. The courtyard is paved with stone slabs and a well is drilled. Walk through the courtyard for a few steps and you will find the main room.

In the center of the main room was a table for the Eight Immortals. At this moment, steaming four dishes and one soup were already set on the table.

The four dishes are two meat and two vegetables, namely sweet and sour fish, braised pork, garlic leaf tofu, and mushrooms stir-fried vegetables. As for the soup, it is cabbage and chicken soup, all of which are still hot.

Dr. Fu took a glance and asked, "Where's Fu Huai'an?"

"Fourth Young Master hasn't come back yet." Someone said respectfully.

"Bring him back to me." Dr. Fu said flatly.

"Yes." Someone answered and went out.

Dr. Fu didn't wait for anyone, he sat down at the table, scooped himself a bowl of soup and drank it slowly.

The chicken soup was stewed with old hens, and the cabbage inside was filled with cabbage hearts. It tasted very good. After he drank a bowl of soup, someone immediately brought him a bowl of rice.

"No need." Dr. Fu said, took out the hamburger and took a bite.

The hamburger was cold and not as good as it first tasted, but it was not bad.

Dr. Fu slowly ate the hamburger and the vegetables, and when he finished eating, the man who had gone out before pulled a boy with a childish face, but was very tall, and watched the boy who was about [-] or [-] years old come back.

The young man has delicate features, red lips and white teeth, which is very attractive to middle-aged women.If there were no scars on his face and his expression was not so fierce.

"Fu Yun'an, what do you mean? Why did you tie me back?" The young man named Fu Huai'an said angrily. If someone hadn't pulled his arm, he might have rushed to fight his brother.

Dr. Fu, that is, Fu Yun'an, didn't take him to heart at all: "Fu Huai'an, since you've come to Shanghai, you have to listen to me... As I said, you have to go home before five o'clock."

"It's not that I want to come to this ghostly place! Also, my name is not Fu Huai'an!" the boy said with his neck stuck.

Fu Yun'an didn't even look at him, took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and said to the people around him: "I'm done eating, you guys share the food."

"Yes." The man answered and removed the dishes.

"I haven't eaten yet!" Fu Huai'an said angrily, but others ignored him.

When Fu Yun'an entered the room, he said: "Show him to me, don't let him out."

"Fu Yun'an, you are torturing me on purpose, right? I must tell Dad that I want to go back!"

"I can't wait." Fu Yun'an said lightly.
