Literary Heroes of the Republic of China

Chapter 43 Arriving in Shanghai

The firewood burning in the middle of the room made the room more bright. Seeing Fu Yun'an's expression slightly uncomfortable, Mu Qiong stepped back a little.

He has already discovered that this Dr. Fu doesn't like to have too close contact with people, and he should have cleanliness.

These days, because conditions do not allow, others wash together, but he never uses basins used by others—his assistant got two new wooden basins from nowhere to wash his face and feet.

He is also used to dressing up and sleeping neatly. Although he is not alienated from everyone, he will not get too close.

In this regard, Mu Qiong is not surprised. Many doctors have cleanliness, and Fu Yun'an's symptoms are actually considered mild.

Mu Qiong smiled and asked: "Doctor Fu, do you have a way to deal with that master?" The magic stick who hid in the countryside to swindle money and wiped out Mrs. Zhou's money called himself "Master", and everyone also called him "Master". Call him "Master".

As for why Mu Qiong wants to get rid of him, if this kind of person is left alone, I don't know how many people will be entrapped!

These days, the victims they encountered were not limited to Zhou Laosan's family.

For example, there is a family who gave birth to a son who was congenitally stupid. After asking the master, he was told that it was because their daughter had a bad life, and then the family abused their daughter in every possible way...

Another example is that there is a family whose mother-in-law always has leg cramps and cannot stand on the ground. After asking the master, she was told that it was because her daughter-in-law was incompatible with her. The daughter-in-law who had already given birth to two children was rushed home.

There are countless similar things.

This kind of magic stick actually has no skills. When cheating money, they like to talk nonsense and talk about life and death. Some people still believe in it!

Fu Yun'an glanced at Mu Qiong and smiled: "I have discussed with Missionary Edward. When I go back, I will go to the county town here."

"Dr. Fu asked the county officials to deal with this master?"

"They are easier to shoot." Fu Yun'an said: "Do you have anything else to ask?"

"What should Zhou Laosan and Feng Xiaoya do?" Mu Qiong asked again.If these two people stayed here, life would be difficult, especially if they planned to deal with the master.

When the master is arrested, Mrs. Zhou may go crazy...Mu Qiong never underestimates these brainwashed people.

"I plan to take them to Shanghai and find a chore for them to do." Fu Yun'an said.

"Doctor Fu, you are really a good person." Mu Qiong said.After speaking, he laughed again. These words... seemed to be sending out a good card.

Fu Yun'an, who didn't know that there was such a thing as a good person card, was quite useful.

"Mu Qiong, Doctor Fu!" Zheng Weixin suddenly called out to them.

"Is something wrong?" Mu Qiong asked.

"It's like this. The two of us discussed it. When we leave tomorrow, we want to leave some money for Feng Xiaoya and the others." Zheng Weixin said, "What do you think?"

"Teaching people how to fish is worse than giving them fish. Dr. Fu has already decided to take them to Shanghai and find them a job that can make a living." Mu Qiong said.

Zheng Weixin was originally worried that it would be inappropriate for him to give the money directly, so he asked someone, but now he was very pleasantly surprised: "It's still Dr. Fu who is thoughtful."

Everyone went to bed early that night, and early the next morning, they packed up their things and left with Zhou Laosan and Feng Xiaoya.

When the two heard that Fu Yunan was going to take them away, they were so grateful that they even offered to sign a contract of sale, saying that they would work for Fu Yunan for the rest of their lives.

Fu Yun'an disagreed: "It's a new society now, and there is no such thing as a contract of sale."

"Even if I don't, I will work for Dr. Fu for the rest of my life!" Zhou Laosan was sure.

Fu Yun'an smiled: "You just work hard and support yourself."

When they went back, Zhou Laosan was in the same carriage as Mu Qiong and the others. His legs were not healed yet, so he sat on the floor of the carriage, while Feng Xiaoya sat next to him holding the child.

Feng Xiaoya's child is as strong as a weed. At the beginning, his voice was thin and weak, and he looked like he might die at any time, but now he is hungry, and he can cry full of breath .

But he doesn't cry much.

Every time he moved a little, Feng Xiaoya would take out a piece of cloth to cover his face and his chest, and then breastfeed him, and as soon as he sucked, he immediately couldn't care less about crying, so that he never disturb others.

At this moment, Feng Xiaoya was breastfeeding the baby under a cloth cover.This cloth was bought by Sun Yiyao for her. In the countryside, women don't pay much attention to breastfeeding. They often just lift up their clothes and feed them anytime, anywhere.

On this day, after they asked about the location, they went to the county seat here first.

People in the countryside are very afraid of foreigners, but people in the county town are just the opposite, especially the officials here.

When he saw Edward and Mary, the flattery on his face made Mu Qiong feel a little ashamed.

Dr. Fu took out some documents, and after talking about the master, the official patted his chest and said: "Such a person must not be tolerated, I will find someone to arrest him immediately!"

As he spoke, he immediately handed over the address provided by Mu Qiong to the policemen under him to arrest them, and then warmly invited them to stay for dinner.

It was noon, and everyone was hungry, and Fu Yun'an, who was in charge of communicating with him, did not refuse. Then, they ate the best meal they had during their free clinic.

There is no shortage of chicken, duck and fish on the banquet, and they are all very delicious. That's okay, but the wine they drink is imported from abroad.

However, Mu Qiong always felt a bit dull while eating.This banquet was not comparable to the lard bibimbap that Zhu Wanwan made for him, and even less comparable to the chicken that Zheng Weixin bought a few days ago.

However, there was an interesting thing at the banquet—after eating, Zheng Weixin ignored the official's dissuasion and insisted that the meat and vegetables on the table be packed.

The coachman and Zhou Laosan Feng Xiaoya didn't eat with them. After Zheng Weixin got on the carriage, he gave them the stewed chicken that couldn't be tolerated.

They didn't dislike the leftovers, and they ate them clean. Feng Xiaoya chewed up some small chicken bones and swallowed them: "Mr. Zheng, you are really a good person."

Zheng Weixin, like Fu Yun'an last night, was very pleased to hear such a compliment.

They first went to Lin Shoufu's house, stayed there for one night, and then returned to Shanghai with the four volunteers who stayed there.

At this time, eleven days had passed since they left Shanghai.

"It's been eleven days. I don't know if "Study Abroad" has finished publishing."

"Definitely not. Lou Yuyu's book pays attention to details, and "Study Abroad" should not be that short."

"Jiang Zhenguo has already returned to China, I don't know what he will do after returning to China..."

……

On the way back, the volunteers discussed "Study Abroad".

Mu Qiong said nothing.

He figured it out, "Study Abroad" should have published that Dao Jiang Zhenguo met the person he likes... I'm afraid many readers are scolding him right now.

Mu Qiong was right.

The book "Studying Abroad" is definitely not as cool as modern cool texts, but compared with ancient scripts, it is already very cool. Jiang Zhenguo's life seems to be an upgrade.

As a result, when the readers were enjoying themselves, they came to this...

Although there were early omens, although it was quite realistic, many readers were still angry, especially those who simply read the story and did not pay attention to other things in it.

In a big smoke den in Shanghai.

At this time, many rich libertines smoke opium, and these libertines who smoke opium generally coincidentally have other hobbies.

Smoking, listening to operas, and reading scripts are basically their daily routine during the day, and at night, it's restaurants, casinos, and kilns.

At the moment, they each have a copy of the popular newspaper and are reading "Study Abroad".

After reading it, some people couldn't help cursing: "Is this Lou Yuyu mentally ill? She is such a beautiful woman, and she was sent to be someone else's concubine!"

"I can't read this book anymore!"

"Actually, it's okay. What is Jiang Zhenguo's status now? Without this, there are thousands of others!"

"That's true! You can marry a few more later."

……

There are quite a lot of dissatisfied people like this, but more people are not dissatisfied, but shed tears for the characters in it.

"This official is disgusting!"

"In the eyes of some people, a woman is an object, which can be given away at will."

"Mr. Lou Yuyu, are you trying to express the corruption in the officialdom?"

……

Sometimes what I think in my heart is what I see. Some progressive young people read this article, but they like this article even more, thinking that the author is satirizing reality.

After reading it, Mr. Qi said: "Nowadays, many wealthy families send their girls to study, not for the purpose of increasing the girl's knowledge, but for raising her social status so that she can It’s not ironic to marry a better family and sell it for a better price.”

Mr. Qi's words spread out somehow, and were even published in newspapers, which immediately aroused heated discussions.

At this time, Mu Qiong had already returned home.

The first thing he did when he got home was to wash himself well several times from head to toe.

After washing, he began to ask Zhu Wanwan and Mu Changyu carefully about these days.

When he was not at home, Zhu Wanwan and Mu Changyu lived in seclusion and rarely went out, so they didn't encounter anything these days, but they were a little worried about him.

"You don't have to worry about me, the law and order around Shanghai is good." Mu Qiong said.

"Brother, the security in Shanghai is better, don't you worry about us?" Mu Changyu said.

Mu Qiong: "..."

Mu Qiong quite liked Mu Changyu's energetic look.

That night, after he taught Zhu Wanwan and Mu Changyu some characters, he went to bed early, woke up early the next morning, and started copying "Seeking a Doctor".

During the free clinic, he wrote the first [-] characters of "Seeking Medical Treatment" one after another, and he has already revised it. Now it is enough to copy it once.

In the morning, Mu Qiong copied [-] words, and after lunch, he took the copied "seeking a doctor" to the editorial office of Dazhong Daily.

"Study Abroad" is about to be published, and when "Study Abroad" is finished, "Seek Medical" just keeps up.

Shanghai is still so prosperous, especially in the foreign concessions. After all, all beggars are driven out by the police, and no one can be seen.

Mu Qiong got off the tram and walked all the way to Dazhong Daily's editorial department. He was about to go up, but Fu Huai'an suddenly rushed out and stopped him: "Mu Qiong!"
