Chapter 20 Saving the Suffering on the Way to School
The old priest of the primitive Catholic Church, Prussian, lived in Erliang Village, a village populated mostly by the Li people, who made a living by weaving cloth and selling fish.
Although most of the Li people live on Hainan Island, there are still many Li people in Guangdong.
In addition to selling their brocade to the Tan family, even the natives on the land also like it, their social status is so higher than that of the Tan family, and the degree of accession to the WTO is naturally deeper than that of the Tan family, so the Li people often act as a buffer.
They will resell the firewood, rice, oil, and salt of the Turen to the Tan family, and they will also buy the catch of the Tan family in large quantities and resell it to the Tu people on land.
Their business acumen is more active than that of the Tan family, and compared with the natives, they do not discriminate against the Tan family, so they can turn around at both ends.
Prussian temporarily lived in the village of the Li people, in order to ask the old people in the village about the efficacy and usage of various medicinal herbs, etc.
This kind of folk remedies are all private secrets, and they are rarely confided to outsiders, let alone such a ghost guy as him.
However, the paradox is that it is here, not only did the villagers refuse, but they saw that Chen Mu sent the injured Prussian back, and they were also grateful to Chen Mu, as if they regarded Prussian as a distinguished guest, which also made Chen Mu feel very puzzled.
However, Chen Mu accepted Prussiantown's proposal in the end, and in the future, in addition to collecting medicine, he would come to Erliang Village to learn Western from Prussiantown.
Xu was influenced by Gong Fuzi, Chen Mu was more repulsive to foreign languages, just for revenge, in order to find out the death of his father and brother, in the future, he had to contact foreigners and learn some simple foreign languages, which was still very necessary.
However, Prussian did not despise this matter, he was like a teacher, explaining to Chen Mu from the simplest letters.
What surprised Chen Mu was that the textbook used was actually the "Holy Oracle Guangxun" published during the Yongzheng period!
Chen Mu is an open-minded and studious person, and when he encounters something incomprehensible, he let go of the mustard in his heart, dissolves the knot that Prussia is a foreigner, and humbly asks.
Because the wording and tone of the Divine Teachings are similar to the tone of their preaching and preaching, some people have translated the Teachings into Latin and French.
So Prussian did the opposite, and since this book could be an introductory material for missionaries to learn Chinese, its translation could naturally become an introductory textbook for Latin and French!
After all, Chen Mu is only a teenager, and he has ten years of hard study, whether it is comprehension, hard work or even rote memorization, it is enough to impress Prussian.
Later, Chen Mu was also thirsty for knowledge, in addition to picking herbs to study, he would secretly run out at night, for Chen Mu's "overtime", Prussian Town not only refused to leave, but warmly received.
One is thirsty for knowledge, the other is teaching each other, plus Chen Mu is eager for revenge, and his heart and mind are all new knowledge, and the level of foreign literature is growing day by day.
That night, Chen Mu sneaked out again, but when he passed by the water village, he was attracted by a burst of laughter.
During these days, he followed the old way to practice martial arts during the day, went to collect medicine in his spare time, and secretly went to Erliang Village to learn foreign literature in his spare time, and even sneaked out at night, Chen Mu had no time to think about other things.
It wasn't until he heard the familiar prodigal laughter in the water village that a face appeared in his mind, not Honggu, but herring!
Chen Mu was accustomed to such a rotten and languishing laughter, and he was just passing by in ordinary times, but today, Chen Mu stopped.
Because of these laughter, mixed with screams of fear and helplessness, and the intermittent sound of begging for mercy, Chen Mu is very familiar, or rather, he has been looking forward to this voice, it is the voice of the herring!
Chen Mu quickened his pace, and when he arrived at the shore, he saw the scene on the big row of boats, several sons and brothers were actually surrounded by a group, and they were teasing unscrupulously, and the person who was surrounded was not a herring fish!
Qingyu is almost fourteen years old, and it is said that it should be the year of marriage and marriage, and in the water village, it is inevitable that he will lose his innocence, and no one will care about a little girl.
But Chen Mu cares!
How can a person who practices martial arts not have half a catty of blood, when Chen Mu fled for his life earlier, he was born to be chivalrous and righteous, and he fought against Lao Dao, not to mention that now he has been following Lao Dao to learn martial arts for such a long time, and it is Qingyu who has been insulted!
Chen Mu didn't care about it, so he immediately shook the boat, boarded the row, jumped onto the deck, and shouted at the group: "Stop!" ”
After being drunk by Chen Mu like this, everyone stopped, one by one drunk, their faces were red, and they looked at it and found that Chen Mu was just a thin posterior, and they couldn't help laughing.
Qingyu took advantage of this opportunity to hide behind Chen Mu, who clenched his fists as if facing a great enemy.
After this period of getting along, he also has a certain trust in Lao Dao, and the double knife is not carried with him, but hidden in the Tianhou Palace, but the shirt book is still carried with him, also in order to be able to remember the characters in it at any time.
At this time, Chen Mu was also bare-handed, and the opposite side were drunk adults, and when they moved, they were afraid that no one would have the rationality to show mercy to their subordinates.
"Ahhh
"Hahaha!"
"I said why can't this girl let go, it turns out that she has a lover for a long time, no wonder she is so wild......"
"I don't know if these two little things are stolen, if so, this girl is not a soup, but a soup......"
"Isn't it, just give it a try?"
"Hahaha, reasonable!"
These people obviously didn't take Chen Mu in their eyes, all kinds of vulgar and unbearable words sprayed all over their mouths, Qingyu was also embarrassed and indignant, and Chen Mu was even more angry!
"Disembark!" Chen Mu turned his head to Qingyu and said this, and the latter wanted to get off the springboard, but the group of drunks became angry.
"You dare! The old men all spent money! ”
With that, several people rushed over!
Although he didn't have a double knife in his hand, Chen Mu had learned Dahong Boxing for many years, and he followed the old way to learn the same method of yin and yang in the near platoon, feeling that martial arts had made great progress, and he was worried that no one was practicing his hands, so he was also eager to try, and he blasted out with a punch, and the person in front of him was spurting blood from his mouth and nose!
"Blood! It's blood! The man wiped his face, but he wiped the blood from his hand, and he was immediately shocked and angry!
"Call me! Killed the count! With such a roar, everyone gathered around and punched and kicked Chen Mu!
Chen Mu was able to cope with it at first, and returned a few hands, quickly, accurately and ruthlessly, several people saw blood, but two fists were hard to beat four hands, not to mention that Chen Mu did not have the intention of killing, and gradually messed up his hands and feet, and his fists and footprints fell on him like raindrops!
In the end, Chen Mu only had to parry, where could he fight back!
In the confusion, I don't know who it was, took an oar and shouted: "Go away, I'm done!" ”
Saying this, everyone quickly separated, and the oar hit Chen Mu's head!
"Boom!"
As if drilling into a roaring drum, Chen Mu's ears just buzzed, but the figures around him shook and blurred!
Chen Mu touched the back of his head, but wiped off a hand of blood, and the herring fish behind him also screamed, Chen Mu finally couldn't hold it anymore.
At this moment, Chen Mu heard a loud shout: "Stop it!" ”
Hearing this, Chen Mu finally put his mind at ease, because it was Lin Sheng and Lin Sanye, who had not seen him for a long time, who spoke out!
Xu is finally settled, there is no need to worry about Qingyu being humiliated, Chen Mu's vision darkened, and the whole person fainted.
When Chen Mu woke up, he was already lying in the cabin, but neither Qingyu nor Honggu was with him.
Lin Sheng sat cross-legged in front of the lamp, and the head spread out in front of his knees was Hong Shuntang's shirt book!
Chen Mu sat up suddenly, and he didn't care about the pain in the back of his head, so he hurriedly snatched the shirt book back!
"You want me to visit you for this thing, right?" Lin Sheng's face was gloomy, perhaps because he was annoyed that Chen Mu had dragged him into such a big case.
"Third Master...... It's also helpless to implicate you, the kid is really desperate......" Chen Mu couldn't hide, so he could only admit it.
"Don't worry, I haven't seen this thing, you can go quickly, just because I haven't seen you tonight." Lin Sheng pondered for a long time, and finally sighed and turned his back.
Chen Mu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded at Lin Sheng: "Thank you, Third Master!" ”
Saying this, Chen Mu walked out of the cabin, but just after he came out, he turned his head to Lin Sheng and said, "Third master...... Herring she ......"
Lin Sheng also smiled bitterly: "You can't protect yourself, and you still think about that little girl, the Chen family is really a romantic embryo, don't worry, the master didn't bring enough silver today, and I can help you redeem her in two days." ”
Chen Mu was also shocked, although Lin Sheng's family has a big business and wealth, but a girl like Qingyu is the most valuable, how can she say that she will redeem it, this is a lot of money!
"Third Master...... I...... Just wanted you to take care of ......."
Lin Sheng was annoyed: "She is in the kiln of the water village, how else can I take care of it, what kind of place should you be!" ”
"I only ask you, do you want me to help redeem it, if you twist and pinch it again, this matter can be done, my Lin family's silver is not falling from the sky, let alone planted in the field, you are not happy, the third master, I am also happy to save a sum of silver!"
Hearing this, Chen Mu hurriedly said, "Redeem! Redeem Redeem! Then thank you to the third master, and I will borrow it from the third master......"
Lin Sheng also couldn't cry or laugh: "When do you plan to pay me back after you borrowed it?" ”
Chen Mu was also stumped: "I don't know either, but I will definitely pay it back!" ”
Lin Sheng also laughed and said: "You are a scoundrel and a bachelor, okay, hurry up and leave, then I will help you watch the little girl." ”
Chen Mu didn't say much anymore, he hurriedly got off the boat, and when he arrived at the gangplank, he almost collided with Honggu, and the two looked at each other, which was also meaningful, but in the end they still passed by, but they didn't say hello.
