"Ah, George Bush...... What the? Is this a human name? How can there be such a name? The shopkeeper was taken aback, raised his head, lifted his reading glasses, and looked seriously at the few people standing outside the counter, which immediately startled him - outside the counter stood a group of animals with colorful eyes or black complexions that seemed to be human beings.

The frightened shopkeeper almost fell backwards and fell to the ground. He asked in surprise, "You, who are?" ”

"Don't be afraid, shopkeeper." Chen Bachi opened his mouth, "It's just some foreigners." ”

"Foreigners?" The shopkeeper remembered it, as if he had heard those passing merchants mention foreigners, and they were also so red-bearded and green-eyed. Moreover, although Jiangkou Town is a small place, the shopkeeper has never seen foreigners before, but foreign goods have also been used a lot. For example, the oil lamps lit at night, and the foreign cloth worn by the fires that are usually used.

The shopkeeper has also heard of the power and unreasonableness of foreigners. It is said that the foreigners even burned the garden of the emperor Laozi, and now even if the big officials see the foreigners, there is no fear, and the shopkeeper is naturally even more afraid.

"How many...... How many people want to stay in the hotel? The shopkeeper's voice trembled a little.

"yes." Chen Bachi said, "The shopkeeper's noble surname? ”

"Don't be expensive, little surnamed Wang." The shopkeeper replied.

"Boss Wang." Chen Baqi arched his hand.

"Don't dare to be." The shopkeeper Wang also hurriedly returned the salute.

At this time, a Ah San moved a bench over, and Chen Bachi sat down on the bench.

"Boss Wang, please take a seat." Chen Bachi said, "I remember that this shop used to be surnamed Li." ”

"Sir has been to Ekou before?" Shopkeeper Wang asked, "The original owner of this shop was surnamed Li, and when he made a fuss, I don't know why, he said that the owner of the shop was a bandit, and then he took it in, saying that he wanted to ask for beheading." The lady of the Li family hurriedly dotted up and down, but this kind of thing, dotting up, it really costs money and running water, and Boss Li's shop is only a small business, how much money can it have? The lady of the Li family had to sell this shop and borrowed a lot of money for Yinzi......"

"And then?" Chen Bachi still remembered the lady of the Li family, a tall and thin woman, with small feet wrapped and always wearing a jacaranda homespun cloth.

"Later, when the money arrived, it was naturally released. In fact, most of those people just want to take this opportunity to make some money. It's just that Boss Li was tortured in prison and got sick again, and he didn't die within a month of coming out...... Later, Boss Li's son was not motivated again, and learned to smoke crows from others. Piece, alas, it didn't take long to his mother to death......" Boss Wang sighed and said.

"Alas......" Chen Bachi also sighed. He also knew Boss Li's son, and he often dealt with him when he was still in town. At that time, he was still a very honest and obedient person. And Boss Li himself is also a very cautious person, when Nanwang was preaching here, Chen Bachi also tried to pull his son to listen together, but Boss Li knew about it and beat his son, and from then on, until Chen Bachi and they left, his son never said a word to Chen Bachi and them.

"This is really a man sitting in a house, and woe comes from heaven." Chen Bachi said.

"Isn't it?" The king's treasurer also chimed in.

"Or is it because those people are so bad, they want to fish and eat the people, no wonder Hong Xiuquan wants to rebel." Li Chongguang suddenly came up with such a sentence.

As soon as this sentence came out, the shopkeeper Wang was immediately frightened, and he hurriedly said: "Master Ke, this meal can be eaten indiscriminately, but words can't be talked indiscriminately." Woe to the mouth! You take a look here. He pointed to a sign. Li Chongguang looked over and saw the words "Don't talk about state affairs" written on it, so he smiled contemptuously, but stopped making a sound.

Li Chongguang's words scared the shopkeeper Wang enough, and he didn't dare to say anything more to these people. So he stood up and said to Chen Bachi and them, "Do you want to go to the back to see the room?" ”

……

A few people stayed in the inn, and the foreigners gathered around and played poker, leaving only Ah San, who was left with no one to let him go to the table, so he could only watch from the side.

At this time, Chen Bachi brought a top hat and went out with Li Chongguang. When Ah San, who was named Singh, saw it, he immediately greeted him and asked, "Mr. Chen, are you going out?" ”

The others also raised their heads and looked at Chen Bachi. Chen Bachi is their employer, and if he wants to go out on the street, then logically, they should follow.

"Keep playing cards. When I go out for a walk with Mr. Li, it will be too conspicuous to bring you. Chen Bachi said.

"Alright, everybody continue." George Bush shrugged his shoulders and said that these people were not regular bodyguards, and they did not have much sense of responsibility, and after hearing Chen Bachi's words, he turned around and continued to play cards, only Singh followed two more steps. But Chen Bachi frowned at him, and he stopped.

Chen Bachi took Li Chongguang to walk in the familiar alley of his hometown. Originally, I didn't bring those foreigners, in order to avoid being too conspicuous. But Chen Bachi immediately found that even if he didn't bring those foreign devils, he and Li Chongguang were already conspicuous enough. First of all, both of them wore fancy dresses (suits), and more importantly, both of them did not have braids on the back of their heads.

Chen Bachi has long held American citizenship, and as a former "hair bandit", he has no resistance to cutting off his braids or anything, and the rule of Blackwater has always been that mercenaries need to shave their heads. So of course Chen Bachi doesn't have braids, as for Li Chongguang, he is from Hong Kong, and some of the Hong Kong people still have braids, but there are also some people who drink too much foreign ink and cut off their braids. Li Chongguang belongs to this category.

So Chen Bachi found that wherever he went, there were people staring at them and whispering, but as soon as you turned around, they immediately stopped, didn't say a word, just still stared at you with frightened and curious eyes. Fortunately, Chen Bachi is used to seeing big scenes, and he doesn't feel too much about it.

The two kept walking forward, and when they came to a corner of the alleyway in front of them, they stopped not far from the dock. That's where their house used to be. But now, the old house he remembered was gone, and it was replaced by a warehouse.

"This was originally my home." Chen Bachi said to Li Chongguang, "Later, my brother and I rebelled with Nanwang, and naturally no one took care of this house. I guess it would have fallen down a long time ago, and then it would have been built. ”

"Mr. Chen was really a hero back then." Li Chongguang said, "I only hate that I was born too late and can't do great things with gentlemen." ”

"What's the big deal?" Chen Bachi shook his head, after staying in the United States for so many years and seeing so many things, his view of the world now is completely different from before, "King Nan, Heavenly King, those things of the Heavenly King are deceitful, and they are not much different from that Zhang Jiao in the Three Kingdoms." It's just that the times are different now, and it's no longer possible to do big things like that. ”

"Yes, if you want to do great things now, you have to learn from the foreigners, Japan is just a small country, learn from the foreigners, change the law and improve yourself, not only can you stand on your own feet in the world, but also defeat the decadent Manchu Qing. And the people who are full of diligence would rather die in the country than change the law, this is to drag my Huaxia to sink with them and bury them. Therefore, if we want to do great things, to save China, we need revolution, we need to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and we must establish a republic like the United States. Li Chongguang lowered his voice and said, but Chen Bachi could still hear the irrepressible excitement in his voice.

"What a young man." Somehow, such a sentence came out of Chen Bachi's head.

"Chongguang, after all, this is the territory of the Qing Demon, so you still have to be careful when you speak." Chen Bachi reminded in a low voice that although he was not afraid of the Manchu Qing at all, even in front of the Manchu high-ranking officials, he also said things like "You Qing demons are stupid". With his current status, it is no longer something that those Qing demons can dispose of casually.

Since the former residence was no longer there, Chen Bachi didn't stay too long, just glanced at the warehouse a few times, sighed and went back.

Early the next morning, Chen Bachi left those foreigners behind and took Li Chongguang to find his ancestral grave. However, it was discovered that his parents' graves were missing. After returning, Chen Bachi stopped an old man on the street. This person Chen Bachi recognized that he was a neighbor of their family in the past, surnamed Fan, and ranked fourth, so everyone called him Fan Laosi. It's been said that after so many years, Fan Laosi is so old that he couldn't recognize it, but the Fan family's house still hasn't changed, and after Fan Laosi came out, people called him the fourth grandfather, and Chen Bachi could tell that this person was Fan Laosi.

"This fellow, can I ask you about something?" The loss of his parents' grave is a big deal, so Chen Bachi must ask to understand.

……

"Master, Chen Guang, who became a bandit, is back. I'm asking everywhere where his grave is. "A dog with a blue birthmark on the right side of his face and a handful of long hairy legs is reporting to the town's leading man.

The surname of the master is Zhao, so it should normally be called Master Zhao, but there is only such a person in these ten miles and eight towns, so everyone will omit the word Zhao and call him the master directly.

"Oh?" The old man didn't have much reaction when he was lying on the couch, but he was just trying to taste the pleasure brought by the big smoke. And the dogleg continued to stand by and wait.

"Jia San, what did you just say?" After a long while, the old man who was too addicted to smoking asked slowly.

"Master, Chen Guang, who used to go out to be a bandit in our town, is back, and he is still bringing a young man, I don't know if it's his son. I heard that he was asking who was digging the grave of his dead ghost father, and I was worried about ......"
