Although the new * is gradually emerging, and women are no longer as conservative as they used to be, it is really not a good idea to go out and walk around at night.

It's a shame that the Song family is not an ordinary family, and Song Zhenshu is still accompanied by two horsemen, so walking at night is nothing.

It was not easy to walk this night, Song Zhenshu and Yang Yuning were not feudal women, so they let Chen Mu get into the carriage, but fortunately, the carriage was very spacious, and the three of them did not seem very crowded.

But after all, the space is limited, full of daughter's fragrance, although Chen Mu didn't dare to talk about it, but the journey was also a kind of enjoyment.

The good times are always short-lived, and it doesn't take long to reach the entrance of the concession.

Perhaps there was a riot, and the guards of the concession were even more strict, and Bertrand personally led the patrol people to guard the entrance of the concession street.

The carriage was quickly stopped, Chen Mu got out of the carriage and greeted Bertrand, who did not have the usual enthusiasm, but frowned and persuaded Chen Mu: "Chen, the situation is turbulent, it is better to move less......

Saying this, he cast his eyes on the carriage, Chen Mu didn't care, opened the hidden door, and introduced Bertrand.

"These are two local socialites who are also midwives at Santa Maria Thanks' Hospital, Miss Isabella is not feeling well, let me take them to see ......"

"Miss Isabella's guest?" Bertrand was a personable person, it was always bad to stare at the woman in the carriage, so he didn't search the carriage, but he didn't fully trust Chen Mu, but whispered a few words to the musketeer behind him.

The musketeer nodded, and went to the consul's manor, presumably to ask Isabella for confirmation.

"Chen, in extraordinary times, you must be cautious, please forgive me."

Chen Mu also smiled generously and said, "This is your duty, it should be." ”

Although Chen Mu was light and light, Song Zhenshu was also calm, but Yang Yuning was pale and restless, after all, she was involved in the riot, and if people recognized her, they would arrest her at any time.

In fact, Chen Mu didn't know the bottom in his heart, after all, this matter was completely his own initiative, and he had no prior agreement with Isabella, so it was easy to get into trouble.

Fortunately, the musketeer quickly trotted out and nodded at Bertrand, who apologized to Chen Mu, "I'm sorry, you can go in." ”

Chen Mu also breathed a sigh of relief, and the carriage drove straight into the consul's manor, taking Song Zhenshu and Yang Yuning to the living room.

Isabella estimated that she was about to sleep, wearing a nightgown inside, a jacket on the outside, her hair scattered, barefoot, casually nestled on the sofa, lazy.

"Miss Isabella, long time no see."

Chen Mu hadn't explained the situation to Isabella yet, and Song Zhenshu had already stepped forward and greeted Isabella quite warmly.

Isabella's eyes also lit up, and she said with a little surprise: "I thought this guy Chen was going to do something, but it turned out to be you!" ”

With that, she stood up, grabbed Song Zhenshu's hand affectionately, and pulled Song Zhenshu to sit down.

Chen Mu didn't expect that these two people would have such a friendship, and he didn't understand in his heart, since he had such a good friendship, why didn't he come in by himself and let Chen Mu lead?

When Chen Mu was still surprised, he heard Song Zhenshu and Isabella turn their heads at the same time, and said to him almost in unison.

"You go out first."

"Men go out first."

The two of them had such a tacit understanding, and they didn't care about the speechless Chen Mu, they looked at each other and laughed.

Chen Mu was just about to turn around, and then he heard Song Zhenshu say to Yang Yuning: "You can also go out and wait." ”

Yang Yuning looked at Isabella, who was also looking at her, but her eyes were very vigilant, Yang Yuning was weak-hearted, so she followed Chen Mu out of the living room.

The water in the courtyard had stopped, but the spring water was still falling from the angel statue, ticking and ticking.

Chen Mu and Yang Yuning just stood like this, facing the dark night outside, somewhat embarrassed.

For a woman like Yang Yuning, Chen Mu's heart was annoyed and a little admired, in short, he couldn't say disgust.

"If you're like this, doesn't the family care about you?" Chen Mu is a man after all, so he should be more generous, but when he asked this sentence, he always felt a little harsh.

Yang Yuning didn't dodge, lowered his head, bit his lower lip, and then raised his head and replied to Chen Mu.

"It's not something to be ashamed of, why is it so unbearable?"

Chen Mu also smiled bitterly: "I don't mean anything else, just ask, if you don't want to say it, forget it......"

Yang Yuning looked at Chen Mu, and after a while, he continued to speak: "My Yang family was originally a business name of the Thirteen Banks in Guangzhou, and later did a sea transaction. ”

"Why do you want to travel across the ocean to study? Is that foreigner's thing really so attractive? ”

Yang Yuning shook his head and whispered to himself: "Xia Worm can't say anything, how can people who only think about sitting in the well and watching the sky, how can they understand how big the outside world is?" ”

As if she wanted to admonish Chen Mu, she pointed to the starry sky and said to Chen Mu: "Do you know that these fire-like stars are actually bigger than the sun, and they shine more than the sun?" ”

Chen Mu was not surprised, because of these astronomical knowledge, he had already learned from Prussian, but he also understood what Yang Yuning meant, if he hadn't studied with Prussian Town, he wouldn't have known this.

But Chen Mu's intention is not here, the knowledge of foreigners is indeed relatively broad, but what Chen Mu wants to say is not this matter.

"I'm talking about street parades......"

Yang Yuning suddenly smiled: "Only one-third of the people who participated in the parade were students, and the rest were some young people with enthusiasm and responsibility, some of them were like you, reading the books of sages and sages that have been handed down for thousands of years, and some of them were ......illiterate."

"Knowledge can be learned, but many things cannot be learned from books, and only after walking through and seeing will you find something that makes you pay everything for it......"

Chen Mu was slightly stunned, but he was saying to himself in his heart, why don't I, Chen Mu, have something that I am willing to give my life to complete?

Xu is thinking of his unfinished business, in essence, he is the same as Yang Yuning, how can he not be a stubborn person?

In order to avenge his father and brother, in order to rebuild Hong Shuntang, Chen Mu must force himself to grow up quickly, and all the experiences during this period of time have already made him see through many things.

"I wish you all success."

Yang Yuning didn't expect Chen Mu to say such a thing, she walked over a little "inch by inch", and said to Chen Mu in a low voice.

"If you can join, we will succeed faster, gather sand into a tower, accumulate into a river, as long as everyone has the same heart, this cause will become more and more prosperous!"

Chen Mu knew this truth, but he had no idea about rebellion for the time being, and he still had too many things to complete.

"I have other things, my own things haven't been done well, how can I talk about other things?"

Yang Yuning still didn't give up: "Your own affairs, no matter how big they are, are small things, and the country's affairs, no matter how small, are big things, sooner or later you will understand this truth." ”

It's not that Chen Mu really doesn't understand this truth, but he can't do it for the time being.

Despite this, Chen Mu also had a change in his opinion of Yang Yuning, at least this girl was not brainwashed by ideals, she was still sober, and it was precisely because she was sober that she still unswervingly chose this path, which is even more admirable.

"Your ambition is certainly admirable, but everything must be up to the sky, but also down-to-earth, blindly rushing around, you can only pay meaningless sacrifices, this kind of sacrifice can not bring any change, can only hurt more people."

Yang Yuning looked at Chen Mu in some surprise, as if she didn't believe that Chen Mu would say such a thing, but after a while, she still shook her head and retorted to Chen Mu.

"Many people will laugh at the praying mantis that stands in front of the wheel, but I have reason to believe that this idiom has been circulating for so many years, not to persuade people to give up, but to inspire more people to have the courage to use the mantis arm as a car!"

This is simply a bull's horn, Chen Mu just smiled bitterly and stopped arguing with her, but Yang Yuning smiled at Chen Mu and said, "Sooner or later, you will understand!" ”

At this moment, Yang Yuning is like a simple child, she still looks forward to it, and still maintains full confidence, as if the dangers she has experienced have never happened, although she has some mothers-in-law, she does have a big heart.

"You're naïve, but ...... Also persistent...... Such a person will ...... sooner or later"

When Chen Mu said this, Yang Yuning frowned, and asked anxiously with some anger: "What happens sooner or later?" ”

Chen Mu smiled and said, "Sooner or later, it will be successful." ”

Yang Yuning was slightly stunned, and then laughed, from her face, it could be seen that her prejudices against Chen Mu had long been thrown out of the clouds.

Just as she was about to say a few words to Chen Mu, Song Zhenshu had already walked out of the living room, with mixed feelings and sorrows, and she couldn't tell her mind exactly.

"How?"

Faced with Chen Mu's question, Song Zhenshu also shook her head and said to Chen Mu: "It's half of the negotiation......

"Half?"

"Yes."

Song Zhenshu didn't hide it at all, glanced back at the living room, and then turned to Chen Mudao.

"Isabella is a strong woman, it is impossible to make a loss-making business, let alone forgive and forgive, she said that if you want to save these comrades, we can only rely on ourselves."

"On your own? Doesn't that mean you didn't say it......" Chen Mu was also speechless for a while, but Song Zhenshu shook her head: "It's different, she is willing to provide us with a chance." ”

"Opportunity? What kind of opportunities? ”

"She will set up a ring in the county seat, and take these comrades as a bet, as long as any Chinese can win and win a foreign man, she will let a comrade go......"

"Fighting? Is this a big show! Chen Mu was also a little incredulous, but thinking about it, this kind of thing is indeed in line with Isabella's style.

Thinking about it, for Trio, protesting in the streets is the most common thing in the eyes of foreigners, this kind of "political prisoner" is not of much value to them, but through fighting, it can quickly improve the deterrent power of foreigners, which is very beneficial to them.

In view of this, Trio would not object to Isabella's proposal, but these participants, either helpless foreign students or thoughtful literati, want to win back these companions through fighting, the possibility is very small.

Song Zhenshu also seemed to see Chen Mu's doubts, and she added with a serious face: "It is not limited to our people who come to the stage to fight, but all Chinese, including hundreds of martial arts halls in the Lingnan area, as long as they dare to come to power, they will dare to fight!" ”

"What? Is it so big? Chen Mu was also shocked.
