Chapter 39: First Sight
After Du Xinwu left, Wang Mengxiong was embarrassed to live in Mr. Sun's house anymore, and because he missed some friends he knew in Gu's class, he also said goodbye to Mr. Sun and Mr. Song and returned to Gu's class.
Sneaking in through the back door of the big world, Wang Mengxiong originally planned to go directly to the circus station. It's one of the liveliest theaters in the world, with a lot of people, especially children. Wang Mengxiong mingled among these children, looking inconspicuous.
As he was moving forward, a sneaky figure attracted Wang Mengxiong's attention. It was a thin man dressed in an ordinary cap who was reaching for the waist pockets of the two young men walking side by side in front of him. The two men were arguing about something as they walked, so engrossed that they didn't notice the thief's presence.
This was the case in old Shanghai, as long as it was a crowded place, there were inevitably thieves. Usually these thieves are in groups of three or five, gangs commit crimes, even if they are caught red-handed, someone will come out to cover, someone will rescue, and someone will be responsible for threatening the parties, so ordinary people hate and fear them and dare not provoke them.
Wang Mengxiong didn't want to care about such idle matters, but the name of Jiuru mentioned in the conversation between the two people caught his attention. After quickly flipping through the few historical memories in his mind, he finally determined that one of the young men named Jiuru was the later famous assassination king, his own family Wang Yaqiao.
Since it's him, he has to take care of it. Wang Mengxiong, who had made up his mind, squeezed through the crowd and quickly approached the three people. Before the thief could get his hands on it, he stepped forward and slapped the man suspected of Wang Yaqiao on the back.
"Hey, uncle! You're coming to see the circus, huh? “
Wang Mengxiong's interruption directly frightened the sneaky thief, hurriedly withdrew his third hand, squeezed to the side in embarrassment, and quickly disappeared into the flow of people.
"You are?"
The young man who was slapped in the back and turned his head looked at the child he didn't know, with a puzzled expression.
"It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that your wallet is still there!"
Wang Mengxiong's words made the other party wake up, and touched the pocket that was cut on his waist, but fortunately, the wallet was still there.
"Thank you, little friend! If it weren't for you, the thieves took away the rations, and today's dinner with Mei Jiu would not have been settled, thank you so much! “
In addition, the young man also thanked him repeatedly, and strongly invited the adults in Wang Mengxiong's family to come out and thank him in person. Wang Mengxiong waved his hand again and again: "This can't be done, he can't get out of it at all." Not to mention the little things, not enough to worry about. The two uncles should go to play and watch the show, just be careful, there is more than this thief here, just don't be targeted again! “
Wang Mengxiong waved his hand freely, and without even saying his name, he got into the crowd and went to the backstage of the circus. Wang Yaqiao said with emotion to the person next to him: "Sure enough, he is a hero and a teenager, I can't imagine that such a young child also has the style of a hero." It's a pity that he walked so fast that he didn't even have time to ask for his name. There is a vast sea of people in Shanghai, and I don't know if there will be a chance to meet again in the future! “
The full name of the person who traveled with Wang Yaqiao is Jing Dingcheng, whose name is Mei Jiu, and he is a professor at Peking University. However, this man is not an ordinary professor, but a veteran of the League and a member of the House of Representatives of the first Congress. Yuan Datou called the emperor, and the "Discussion of Yuan Shikai" he drafted was righteous and stern, and was known as "the first text in the discussion of Yuan Yuan". Because of this, he was also arrested by Yuan Datou and taken to Beijing, and was not released until Yuan Datou died. He and Wang Yaqiao are both members of the Shanghai No-**ism Research Group, and the two of them met to come to the big world to relax their minds, so they were met by Wang Mengxiong.
At this time, Wang Yaqiao was not the leader of the world-shaking axe gang and the king of assassination, so he was targeted by Xiaoxiao. If it was the identity that came later, I would not dare to do it if I borrowed ten dares from that thief.
After an interlude, the two men ran to the theater of the circus show. It's really popular, and although most of them are children, there are many adults. Some people are worried that their children will come with them, and some people have heard that the circus performance of the Gu family class is good, so they came to watch the show.
Just in time for the interval of the show, the audience shouted and sold soda, melon seeds, sugar-fried chestnuts, and even cigarettes, which were intertwined with the laughter of children and the gossip between adults, which made the temperature of the entire performance venue increase a lot out of thin air.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Yaqiao and Jing Dingcheng again argued about the topic they had just talked about on the road, that is, which was more suitable for the national conditions between the collectivist school of thorough public ownership and the individualist school of private property and free market.
This kind of ideological dispute usually does not take three or five years to pave the way, and the argument does not lead to anything. It's just that just as Wang Yaqiao's eyebrows danced, Jing Dingcheng suddenly stopped raising the bar with him, but looked straight at the stage with his eyes.
"Brother Mei Jiu, what's wrong? Have you been persuaded by me to agree with me? “
Jing Dingcheng raised his chin to the circus stage, "Jiuru, you look at the stage!" You also said that the vast sea of people does not know if there will be a chance to meet again, you see, the opportunity has come so soon! “
Wang Yaqiao hurriedly looked at the stage, no, wasn't the child standing with his back against the wooden plank just reminded him to guard against thieves?
"It turns out that he is also from the Gu family class, and his name is Wang Fan! I didn't expect that there were such young heroes among the reckless. It seems that the boss of this Gu family class, Gu Chuanbiao, can also be regarded as a character, so he can teach such a teenager! After they finish this show, you and I should go backstage and thank Boss Gu in person, so we can meet Wang Fan again! “
Although Wang Mengxiong was performing on stage, he had already seen Wang Yaqiao and Jing Dingcheng, and couldn't help but smile slightly, saying in his heart that these two were really here. The reason why he didn't leave his name and turned around and left was because he judged that the two would definitely come in to see the circus. As long as the two of them come to see the circus, they will inevitably recognize themselves on stage. In this case, leaving without leaving a name for doing good deeds can gain Wang Yaqiao's attention and favor.
After the performance, Wang Mengxiong was backstage with Gu Chuanbiao and Gu Chuanqi to talk about their parting, the door curtain clicked, and Wang Yaqiao and Jing Dingcheng walked in together.
Although Gu Chuanbiao didn't know who these two were, he saw that the two of them were obviously dressed with extraordinary bearing, and hurriedly gave up. "Two of you are hard, two of you are?"
Wang Yaqiao laughed and said, "Boss Gu, I'm glad to be there!" Brother Wang Yaqiao, this is Professor Jing Dingcheng, and the two of us are here to congratulate! ”
Gu Chuanbiao was a little confused, this is neither a New Year's Day, nor a festival, where does the joy come from?
Jing Dingcheng saw that Wang Yaqiao's headless and endless words made Boss Gu, who had been running for a long time, stunned, and hurriedly explained: "Boss Gu, what I mean in my brother's words is to congratulate you on your good teaching, even a seven or eight-year-old child in the Gu family class is extremely heroic, isn't it a gratifying thing!" ”
As soon as Gu Chuanbiao heard it, he understood who these two were talking about, and thought that Wang Mengxiong's killing of three bandits in a row had leaked out, so he hurriedly explained: "Two, just know about this kind of killing of bandits, there is no need to say it again, so as not to cause trouble to this child!" ”
"What?"
Wang Yaqiao and Jing Dingcheng's faces were strange and moved, they thought they were kind-hearted children, but they didn't know that they were still heroes who had killed bandits. This is the first time I have heard of such a secret thing, and my understanding of Wang Mengxiong is immediately much higher.
