Time flies quickly, and you don't have to count it, you just slip away from you. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoAccording to the speed of communication at that time, even if Ah Fa could quickly translate the manifest and instructions, it would not be possible to send a letter and receive a reply quickly. Because many foreign merchants are far away from the ocean, thousands of miles away.

On this day, Ah Fa walked through the long crowded streets of the Public Concession, passing by narrow canals and alleys. As he walked down Morley Eyre Road, there were several faces staring at him with teasing glances by the door of a house. The rickshaw driver shouted in the pole to pull business: "Very clean, Portuguese, Filipino, Chinese, Japanese girl, which one do you want?" ”

Somehow, Ah Fa suddenly remembered the singer, and he frowned. The girls passed him with a desire to pass by, and touched his arm softly with their hands, and a shuddering disgust rose over him, and he quickened his pace and walked quickly.

Extremely different, Ah Fa walked on this familiar road again. There are also a lot of foreigners living here, of course, foreigners in the middle of Shanghai. At the other end of the road, the big people of the foreign banks who have made a fortune doing business in Shanghai are building independent garden houses, which are expected to become a high-end garden residential area in the near future. The Bund, the earliest and most prosperous place in the concession, is full of foreign banks and prosperous trade, and it is the place where the so-called gentlemen and rich people live.

Ah Fa's new residence is a house in the vicinity, which is much better than Jing'an Temple Road. There were gas lights, running water, toilets, and a large cellar. Among them, the cellar is the main reason why Ah Fa chose this house. It was being cleaned up by him into a secret room, and some application things were bought and put in, mainly some hardware tools and chemical reagents, as well as chemical experiment tools.

It is not necessary to use a gun to kill people, and although the use of a gun is straightforward, simple, and deterrent, it is also easy to expose. Poisons, although insidious and dark, are almost impossible to detect under the current level of technology and medical care. The conditions and knowledge are limited, and Ah Fa can't refine a poison that is too pure, but if it is just to kill people, it doesn't matter if the dosage is a little larger.

Although he did not sign an employment contract with Qin Manguo, Ah Fa reached an agency agreement with Qin Manguo and took the first step towards an independent agent.

It is not an employment relationship, although it is still necessary to sell the goods of Qin Ji Trading Company to overseas foreign merchants, but Ah Fa has a lot of freedom and time. He can work in a house in Zhabei District, or he can take his work to his home. And these jobs are to send samples of goods and foreign language instructions to foreign merchants, if foreign merchants are interested, Ah Fa is responsible for correspondence, negotiation details, signing contracts, or receiving foreign businessmen.

Of course, in addition to expanding the scope of agency, Ah Fa is also paying attention to and investigating other projects, such as the idea of buying land and building a factory.

It seems that everything is starting to get on the right track, but as Ah Fa sees more and more social phenomena, he feels more and more depressed and depressed in his heart. Living in the future generations, or overseas, how can you know the miserable life of the Chinese people at this time, and see that the human life at this time is like a mustard, hunger, disease, gang fighting, murder, robbery, ...... In Shanghai, nearly 100 people leave this world every day.

Will I become insensitive, even indifferent, over time? Ah Fa did not take a rickshaw today, but walked home on his legs. When he saw the rickshaw driver's thin legs and feet, or coughing and wheezing, or sweating like rain, he felt a sense of shame; Whenever he was surrounded by beggars, looking into those eager eyes, an indescribable guilt and pain would envelop him.

As soon as the novelty of the time passed through, the emotions of waiting, anxiety, and worry made him abandon the way of life he was used to, and although that way of life had become a memory, the point was that nothing new could completely replace them at this time.

Suddenly, Ah Fa heard shouts and shouts coming from the street. Among them were the voices of angry and rough men, as well as the screams of women desperately resisting. He looked up and looked at it with a frown. On the other side of the road, a woman cowered by the wall, two men punching and kicking her, and passers-by walked by, just staring with wide eyes and looking indifferent.

At this moment, the woman was beaten to her knees, and a fat guy was slapping her, while another skinny man grabbed her by the hair and flung her head around for him to beat. The woman saw Ah Fa and suddenly screamed his name. Well, to be exact, she was calling "Mr. Chen" and begging him for help.

Ah Fa recognized that the woman who was beaten and covered in blood was the singer. For some reason, he rushed over with almost no hesitation, perhaps because of the depression in his heart these days and the urgent need to find a channel to vent.

Especially when he saw the singer's originally somewhat childish face become bloody, he felt even more angry and became extremely violent. He grabbed the thin man's head and neck from behind, and the force was so great that the thin man's feet were off the ground, and the hand holding the singer couldn't help but let go, and his hands and feet kept fluttering due to suffocation. Ah Fa threw it hard, threw the thin man to the ground, and kicked the thin man hard.

The fat man was raising his hand to hit the singer, and when he saw this, he stopped, and looked at Ah Fa blankly without expression, like a toad staring at people. The singer slowly raised her head, sobbed, touched the blood on her lips with her hand, and then lowered her head and looked at her fingertips in surprise, as if she didn't believe it.

Ah Fa stared at the fat man, and because of his anger, his mouth spewed rough breath, and he scolded loudly: "Get out, get out, you fat pig!" ”

The fat man stood motionless, his small eyes glaring at Ah Fa like opaque prayer beads, and then said slowly in a dull and hoarse voice: "This woman, this young woman is mine. ”

"Fart!" Ah Fa said fiercely and loudly, pointing his index finger at his chest, "My, understand? She's mine! ”

The fat man stared at Ah Fa with a cold and arrogant attitude that bordered on majesty, his huge head shaking slightly, and the long braid hanging behind his head kept shaking.

Ah Fa clenched his fists, his stature, his physique, the strength he had regained, and the pistol he was carrying, made him feel full of courage and an urge to smash people.

"Let's go, let's go!" A short foreigner seemed to be passing by, but apparently he had seen what had happened, and said to the fat man, "Otherwise, you will go to jail." ”

Ah Fa gave this foreigner a strange look, he didn't know this guy.
