Chapter 212 Eleventh Task Ah Q wants to be surnamed Zhao 4
Lu Renbing returned to the residence, only to find that the inside of this broken attic was simple, a bamboo bed, a table and chairs, a window by the street, the dust was thick, cobwebs were everywhere, and the dirty ones didn't look like they were cleaned up, so I didn't want to sleep tonight.
The most important thing is that there is no quilt here, Lu Renbing has to go out to buy a quilt, this room is still by the river, fortunately it is winter, otherwise he has to buy a mosquito net. Speaking of winter, do you have to have a brazier or something in this room?
This old landlord is really dishonest, no, I have to talk to him.
So Lu Renbing walked down the stairs and just happened to see the old man returning from the toilet.
"Yo, the old man squatted in the toilet for a long time, old man, I see that you are a little constipated, do you need a secret recipe, I have an ancestral secret method here to ensure that the medicine is cured." I don't want you more, three hundred dollars, how about it? β
The old man said angrily, "You are deflated, keep it for yourself, Lao Tzu is not constipated." β
As he spoke, he was about to enter the room, but Lu Renbing stopped him, "Old man, where did you hide the stove, bucket, rice jar, wardrobe and so on in my room?" It's empty, is this going to freeze me to death? β
The old man said angrily, "No, you can buy it yourself!" β
Lu Renbing was not annoyed, so he stopped him from entering, played a scoundrel, and asked him to give something. When the old man saw this posture, he knew that he couldn't get it well, so he said that he would add 50 dollars to the rent. Of course, Lu Renbing disagreed, and the two of them continued to grind.
Maybe it's been too long, and the old man's mother-in-law can't see it, so she came out of the room, scolded the two of them, and told Lu Renbing to go to the warehouse in the back yard to move things, money or something, and don't want it.
Lu Renbing returned victorious, and the exhausted old man who was entangled by Lu Renbing returned to the room dejectedly and did not show his head again.
Lu Renbing moved all the furniture from the old man's warehouse, and with his feet, he shoveled the old man's dustpan of briquettes. The distressed old man and old lady are about to break their teeth.
Well, after getting everything, Lu Renbing didn't want to go too far. When he went downstairs, he gave the landlady 2 dimes, asked Yi to help clean up, and by the way, he made a fire, and the extra money was briquette money.
This made the landlady overjoyed. Hmph, people are like this, a stick and a sweet date can easily change the situation.
Lu Renbing went out, wandered for a long time, had a meal, bought some melon and fruit cakes, bedding cotton robes, and bought a patched short cotton coat and cotton hat, which was out of respect for winter.
In this Jiangnan territory, the winter is really wet and cold. I didn't pay attention to it before, but now that I suddenly settled down, Lu Renbing realized that he didn't prepare winter clothes, and this day was really miserable.
Back at the residence, the landlady had already cleaned Lu Renbing's room and added kerosene to the oil lamp in the room. Lu Renbing took a look at it and felt very satisfied, the old lady was still more reliable than the old man.
Lu Renbing gave her some pastries, which were considered a thank you gift. The old man was on the bed, and he didn't say anything. Lu Renbing didn't care, he went home to eat and drink, and then fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Lu Renbing was woken up by the sound of drills. He pushed open the door and climbed the stairs to the roof. Look at the source of the sound from afar. The sound of the drill came from the Chase School not far away. Lu Renbing has no impression of Chase School, and Ah Gui has no impression either. The affairs of those who read books have nothing to do with people like Agui.
After looking at it for a long time, I didn't see anything famous, so I got down from the roof. After washing, he put on a short jacket, a broken felt hat with cotton trousers, locked the door, and staggered out the door.
This Shaoxing city is an ancient city, places of interest, innumerable. However, Lu Renbing had no interest in visiting Gu. He was most interested in gambling houses.
It is worthy of being a capital city, and there are even dozens of gambling houses. These gambling houses are controlled by heroes from all walks of life. Not as informal as the gambling houses in the countryside of Luzhen, this discovery made Lu Renbing very happy. After the inspection, a roadmap was drawn up to ensure that each casino would not go to a second fortune plan in a short period of time.
Then go to work on time and on time, earn two or three silver dollars a day, and live a full and happy life. Every time he goes home, he doesn't go empty-handed, and the melons, fruits, cakes and other things he brings are also divided between the old man and the old lady.
The relationship between the several people quickly warmed up, and the old man and the old lady's attitude towards him also warmed up. Well, relationships, it's that simple.
When Lu Renbing went in and out, he would pass by Datong School from time to time. The people who came in and out there gave Lu Renbing a strange feeling, they were very energetic, and their faces were completely different from most of the Chinese people in this era. Lu Renbing could also see that many of them had fake braids.
Well, this Chase School is definitely a stronghold of the revolutionary party. Lu Renbing actually had great curiosity about the revolutionary party of this period. He didn't want to join the revolutionary party and become an official or something. He was just curious.
Later generations wrote about the revolutionary action of the revolutionary party to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty as if it were a legend rather than a historical fact. Therefore, it gives the impression that what the revolutionary party does is like a bunch of headless flies, with a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west. Then suddenly one day, a shot rang out in Wuchang, and the Qing court fell in an uproar.
Therefore, congenitally, Lu Renbing had no impression of the naΓ―ve revolutionary party.
After coming into this world, he did not come into contact with the revolutionary party, because he was not a person of the world at all. The secrecy of the revolutionary party's actions is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Besides, there are no blind people who can join the revolutionary party. They are either overseas students, or children of generations of hairpins, or local heroes. People like Agui can't enter other people's circles at all.
If you really want to revolution, you don't have that qualification. After wandering around the Chase School a few times, he was driven away by a few fierce and vicious members of the party. Lu Renbing gave up his desire to join the revolutionary party.
Then continued, the days when he went to work at the gambling house to clock in. In order to reduce the probability of being targeted. Lu Renbing bought a few more torn clothes and a torn felt hat. Every time he goes to the casino, he also has to make some disguise to make sure that no one notices him.
And so it came almost a month, and it came to the twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month. The landlord and his wife packed their luggage and went back to the countryside for the New Year. The entire small building has become Lu Renbing's world.
Lu Renbing bought a lot of New Year's goods, and when the fireworks waited until Chinese New Year's Eve, he had a lively and lively year. He has no family or friends in this world, but he doesn't have any sadness.
It's rare to like this feeling of being alone, he took the wine and food, climbed on the roof, and looked at the city, the fireworks one after another, the lights of the stars, the smell of gunpowder in the air, mixed with the fragrance of the food, made Lu Renbing a little intoxicated.
