The community suddenly had a power outage, and if you were worried about excessive power consumption, the community would lose power again. I sent out the top half first, and before 12 o'clock, I sent the bottom half as well. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

The spring wind blows on the surface of the Huai River, and due to the activity of aquatic plants, the river breeze carries a faint fishy smell. It's very different from the fishy smell of the sea breeze. Lin Juemin and several revolutionary comrades stood on the bow of the boat and looked at both sides of the Huai River. According to the guide's introduction, this is already the territory of the revolutionary base of the People's Party. This time, Lin Juemin was accompanied by seven or eight young people, all of whom were extremely radical revolutionaries. Their dream was to one day stand on the land of China, which had expelled the Manchus. Now that they finally saw the first Chinese land that had truly "expelled the Tatars", the excitement made them feel that everything in front of them had an indescribable novelty. Even the unfamiliar river breeze made them feel so comfortable.

Standing beside Lin Juemin was Fang Shengdong, who frowned slightly and asked, "Why don't the people working on both sides of the shore cut their braids?" ”

For these enthusiastic young people, they did not know what the development of society should look like after the revolution. But they firmly believed that after the revolution, they must cut the braids on their heads. Because of this fierce attitude in their hearts, they naturally thought that the base area of the People's Party should have everyone with their braids cut. Seeing that most of the people in the base area still had braids, these young people felt very uncomfortable in their hearts.

"Maybe it's because you don't have time to take care of this, right?" Luo Nalin interjected.

Fang Shengdong had a fierce personality, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but retort: "Brother Luo, you can lay down such a large territory, and you cut the braid on this head without promoting the revolutionary spirit first. This revolution is a bit of a child's play. ”

Luo Nailin was the oldest among the young people on this trip, he knew Fang Shengdong's temper, and seeing that Fang Shengdong began to be anxious as usual, Luo Nailin smiled slightly but didn't say much.

Lin Juemin is also very concerned about this issue, and since he entered the base areas of the People's Party, some people in the various organs and units of the People's Party have cut their hair very short, and many people still have braids. He also asked privately, and the guide of the water detachment who accompanied him explained that since part of the work had to be carried out in the Manchu occupied areas, it was more convenient to keep braids for the time being. Lin Juemin was able to accept this explanation. However, seeing that most of the people in the base area still wore braids, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

At this moment, the hull of the ship shook slightly. Lin Juemin didn't need to turn his head to know that among the people on the ship, Wu Xingchen was the only one who could create this effect just by landing on the deck.

"Hello Mr. Wu." Luo Nailin took the lead in greeting Wu Xingchen.

Wu Xingchen nodded slightly and replied, "Hello Mr. Luo." With that, he stood quietly on the deck and looked around.

Everyone looked at Wu Xingchen's calm appearance, and they all wanted to say something to Wu Xingchen, but they didn't know what topic to find. They all heard that Wu Xingchen was an old member of the People's Party, and the old revolutionaries they had come into contact with were all full of enthusiasm, and their eyebrows fluttered and they talked endlessly. Everyone originally thought that Wu Xingchen should also be this type, but they never expected that Wu Xingchen was actually a taciturn character. On weekdays, except for polite greetings, he didn't say a word. If everyone asked too much, Wu Xingchen simply turned around and left silently. Wu Xingchen is more than 1.9 meters tall and has a burly figure. Once you put on your face, there is a kind of extra oppression. When he doesn't speak, he has an unfathomable and profound attitude. Although young people have been given a cold reception many times, they cannot really develop hostility in their hearts.

"Mr. Wu, what kind of person is Mr. Chen Ke, the chairman of the People's Party? Surely you know it. "Fang Shengdong is one of the few young people who still don't give up after hitting a wall. Every time he saw Wu Xingchen, he wanted to get some news out of Wu Xingchen's mouth, and he was completely ignored by Wu Xingchen the most.

Wu Xingchen remained silent as usual, just looking around. A moment later, everyone heard Wu Xingchen say in his deep voice, "Chairman Chen is a very young person, about the same age as you. ”

"Oh? How old is Chairman Chen? Fang Shengdong is very interested in this.

"Twenty-six or seven." Wu Xingchen said.

"So young!" Fang Shengdong was very surprised. Not only Fang Shengdong, but also the other young people in the bow of the boat were very surprised. The reason why they came all the way from Guangdong to Anhui was that, on the one hand, those friends who had joined the People's Party brought Chen Ke's articles written by them, and "Diary of a Madman" resonated greatly with young people, and several of Chen Ke's essays made them feel that Chen Ke's views on the revolution were extremely profound. In addition, Chen Ke's book on materialism has gained a lot of fame in the south. Since such a revolutionary leader was graciously invited, the young people felt that they could not refute Chen Ke's face. Moreover, the revolutionary base areas praised by friends from Anhui also made the young people yearn for it.

Everyone has some opinions about the base area to a greater or lesser extent, but this opinion is not so much dissatisfaction as "the deep responsibility of love." The greatest feeling of the young people for the base area is a strong sense of satisfaction. Since entering the base areas, at least the organization of the army and the various local governments was completely different from that of the Manchus. At first glance, it looks like a new government. The revolutionary parties of the South continued to launch uprisings, which resulted in repeated defeats. And the BJP has built such a vast base area. Even if it was only a little bit, everyone felt elated.

Hearing that Chen Ke, the leader who had done such a situation, was about the same age as himself, everyone was quite surprised. When they wanted to question Wu Xingchen, they saw Wu Xingchen turn around and walk towards the back of the boat, just like the previous days, this was a unique way when Wu Xingchen was unwilling to answer questions anymore. Everyone didn't know what Wu Xingchen was making trouble about, or which sentence was wrong, which made Wu Xingchen unhappy.

In fact, the reason why Wu Xingchen avoided it was not what these revolutionary young people thought. He and Chen Ke have not worked together for a long time, and since Wu Xingchen went to Shandong to carry out rebellion activities, there has been no news between the two sides for more than a year. For the Anhui revolutionary base area, Wu Xingchen knew no more than these young people from the south. Moreover, these southern youths all speak with Cantonese and Fujian accents. Although they also tried to speak official language, after all, the southern accent was in tune with the north. Wu Xingchen didn't understand the southern dialect very well, and after returning to the north for more than a year, he didn't understand it very well. In order to avoid trouble, Wu Xingchen tried to avoid these southern youths.

Seeing that those young people didn't chase after him and ask, Wu Xingchen was also relieved. Looking at the unfamiliar environment in Anhui, Wu Xingchen guessed what Chen Ke would become if he saw Chen Ke again? The BJP has changed a lot, and what was once a small political organization of eight people has now become a behemoth. The water detachment that Guangwu Xingchen saw had dozens of boats and a scale of nearly a thousand people. And in such a large area as the coast, there must be thousands of new party members. The People's Party cadres who came to receive Wu Xingchen, Wu Xingchen didn't know any of them. Or maybe Chen Ke had forgotten about himself a long time ago. Wu Xingchen couldn't help but think about it.

The fleet was not going fast, Wu Xingchen had seen the iron machines carried in the big ship with his own eyes, and more than a dozen people added equipment, and finally carried these iron guys onto the ship. Wu Xingchen still remembers the small equipment that Chen Ke used to get when he was dyeing cloth in Shanghai, and he felt that these things were quite efficient at that time. Looking at the black iron gadgets, Wu Xingchen felt that those small devices were like toys. How exactly is Chen Ke going to use these machines? Wu Xingchen was very curious.

No matter how long the journey is, there will be an end, and after the fleet docked in Fengtai County, the first thing Wu Xingchen saw was a few high shelves, which should be the same thing as the lifting equipment on the wharf managed by the Shanghai Ocean people. Quite a few people are busy around the lifting equipment. As soon as the boat came to a stop, the long shelves turned, and someone descended the ropes that had been laid down from the shelves to the boat, and began to tie the ropes to the equipment.

Wu Xingchen didn't care so much, he went to the dock under the guidance of the guide, and after walking a short distance, he saw Chen Ke surrounded by You Wei and a group of other people he didn't know, talking about something in front of a big piece of paper.

Everyone has changed a lot, some of them wore long shirts, some wore short clothes, and some wore suits. Now it's a uniform blue outfit. Not only the costumes, but also the hairstyles have changed dramatically. Especially when You Yu cut a boy-like short haircut, Wu Xingchen almost didn't recognize it. But these changes are all external, and if you have to say, everyone's skin color and appearance have not changed much. Careful identification can still lead to clear images in memory.

The biggest change is the demeanor of everyone, whether it is Chen Ke or You Xuan, their expressions have become much older. When the revolutionary party was formed, everyone talked every day, and their expressions were as varied as children. Now Chen Ke and You Wei looked extremely focused, and their attention was on the paper in their hands. The two men clearly knew what they were going to do, and when they spoke to others, they unconsciously showed an irrefutable firmness. Although their clothing and hairstyle are no different from those around them, just by standing there, the two of them are different from the people around them, and others will definitely not pay attention to the two of them.

Chen Ke and You Wei talked for a while, and Wu Xingchen waited patiently beside him. Chen Ke finally finished arranging, he handed the big piece of paper to You Wei, and then walked quickly towards Wu Xingchen.

So you've seen me a long time ago. Wu Xingchen said secretly in his heart. He didn't know if he should think that Chen Ke had such a big fortune now. It was obvious that Chen Ke was busy and did not deliberately leave Wu Xingchen aside. And Wu Xingchen himself has never been conscious of being a member of the People's Party. So it is reasonable that Chen Ke is qualified to put Wu Xingchen aside, but Wu Xingchen still feels unhappy in his heart. It was a mixture of jealousy and loss. And the mood lasted for a while.
