Chapter Twenty-Eight: Arrival
clause
Seeing that there was still more than half an hour to go, the loach went to the supply and marketing cooperatives on the side to buy a few packs of Qingdao calcium milk biscuits and a few bottles of canned oranges, and when he came back, he began to check the ticket.
Along the way, he almost didn't kill Chu Tianlu awkwardly. There were people talking and laughing in other people's carriages, and some people even brought playing cards, bringing together a few people they didn't know to pass the boring time on the road.
They are good here, obviously the four of them are together, but they don't talk to each other!!
Wu Shi Yan seems to have a life of thinking and not playing, every time I look at him, I will see him thinking about something intently. It was a disproportionate look for his age. People who don't know may think that there is something wrong with this child's brain!!
The loach was originally an active person, but it was infected into a stuffy gourd.
No one in the carriage cares about anyone!! Worse than a stranger. Chu Tianlu had the idea of finding a conductor to change places......
It takes about three and a half days for the train to travel from Changsha to Fujian, and I learned from the conductor that the train was delayed by about ten hours. This has led to more or less complaints from travelers.
However, it is normal to be late, and I heard that the General Administration of Railways seems to be trying to speed up, which leads to the fact that the car that has not been used as a pilot is about to stop and avoid when it is about to be on the same track as the express train, and sometimes wait for several hours.
Chu Tianlu didn't care about this. When a snail goes up a tree, there is always a time to climb to the end.
Just when the train entered the boundary of Xiamen, Fujian, Yang Bingyan slowly began to talk to everyone. Maybe he also thinks that after all, they are together, and it is very important to have a good relationship!! If you don't have a match, you can chat with Chu Tianlu.
From the intermittent conversation with him, Chu Tianlu knew that he came to Fujian this time completely because of a favor.
Xiamen is located in the southeast of Fujian, in the Kinmen Bay at the mouth of the Jiujiang River, and faces Taiwan in the distance. As early as the Han Dynasty, King Ying of Minyue marched into Nanyue and opened up the area from Luotian to Haoling in Tong'an, calling it Tong'an. After Emperor Wu pacified Yu Shan, the king of Minyue, he sent Xu Du, the general of Zuo Yi of the Zhuguo State, to lead his troops to garrison in the camp city, which was a county belonging to the Houguan in the Han Dynasty. Until Zheng Chenggong changed its name to Siming Prefecture. After the nineteenth year of Kangxi, it was recovered.
Speaking of Zheng Chenggong, a man of the year in history, we have to mention a folklore that recovered Taiwan. This legend was told to him by a comrade-in-arms in Xiamen when Chu Tianlu was a soldier.
Legend has it that after Zheng Chenggong's father, Zheng Zhilong, returned to the Qing government, he was ordered to go to Zhao'an many times, but Zheng Chenggong resolutely refused. When the Qing government saw that it could not be recruited, it sent troops to attack.
After the Qing government captured Anping, his mother was humiliated and hanged herself. When Zheng Chenggong learned of this, he immediately led his troops back to fight to the death with the Qing government, but the Qing government had no choice but to return with a strong army at that time. Hou Qingbing kept choking his throat to prevent him from having a respite.
In desperation, Zheng Chenggong had to lead the rest of his men to cross the sea to recuperate, and Zheng Chenggong's destination at that time was Japan, the base of Zheng Zhilong in the early years.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the ship went to sea, the wind blew fiercely, and the violent wind and rain brought up monstrous waves, blowing Zheng Chenggong's fleet to the island of Taiwan, which was only a corner away. Zheng Chenggong lamented at the time: "Providence is like this, and it is not my sin." With that, he closed his eyes.
Strange to say, in that bad weather, none of Zheng Chenggong's fleet were damaged. Even people and boats were blown onto the island of Taiwan. The local aborigines saw so many people suddenly pop up in that kind of weather. They all regarded them as heavenly soldiers, and heavenly generals came down to rescue them. Spontaneously came to the beach to burn incense and bow down.
Where had the Portuguese stationed on the island at that time seen such a trick. All of them were frightened and did not dare to move.
In the end, in order to save their lives, the Portuguese agreed to cede Taiwan.
After the recovery of Taiwan, there was such a rumor in the army. said that when Prince Zheng closed his eyes on the ship and let the destiny of heaven be, he was actually talking to the underworld, so he went ashore unharmed.
Some people also say that Zheng Chenggong left in a hurry at that time, leaving a large number of treasures in Xiamen to be used for later when he returned to the Central Plains.
Although Zheng Chenggong always wanted to fight back to the Central Plains, his long-cherished wish was never realized until his death.
……
Although Wu Shi didn't talk much along the way, the loaches still teased him. Maybe it's because it's really boring in this car. But no matter how much he provokes him with words, he just doesn't speak anyway. Eventually, Loach had to give him the resounding nickname "Dumb Turtle" from his limited knowledge vault.
Wu Shi also let him call, did not admit it, and did not refute it.
The train finally arrived at the station, and as soon as he stepped out of the door, the loach vented to himself: "I still have to eat chili peppers, and I will suffer at both ends." It's his grandmother's. ”
The four of them quickly left the station.
Yang Bingyan called two rickshaws, Chu Tianlu and Wu Shi got on one, and Yang Bingyan got on one. This loach stopped doing it, ran to the side of Chu Tianlu's car, and pleaded with Wu Shi in the car: "Dumb turtle, let's change." Your fat brother doesn't like that old man surnamed Yang. ”
The dumb turtle is also easy to talk, and when he gets up, he gets out of the car and does it in one go, and the loaches that look at it are full of joy.
The rickshaw soon stopped in front of a sizable guest house.
Yang Bingyan seemed to be very familiar with this place, and led them directly to the third floor, stopped in front of room 318 and knocked on the door.
The one who opened the door was a tall foreign devil, and the foreign devil and Yang Bingyan were talking in bird language, which should be asking something.
As soon as the loach saw that it was a foreign devil, he immediately became vigilant, and secretly glanced at Chu Tianlu, meaning to ask Chu Tianlu to be careful.
Chu Tianlu was also stunned, although it was said that it has now been opened to the outside world, and there are more foreigners coming to China. But it is also limited to big cities, like Fujian, where the traffic is not developed, there are mountains and rivers everywhere, and it is really a bit strange for foreign devils to appear.
After a few words with Yang Bingyan, the foreign devil let everyone into the room.
It was a compact suite, the bedroom door was closed, and in the center of the living room was a glass coffee table, and on the sofa around the coffee table sat four or five men who were also foreigners, leaning over to listen carefully to what an Oriental woman of twenty-four or five years of age was saying.
At this moment, the woman looked up and saw Chu Tianlu and the others entering the house, and motioned to those people, and the foreign man put away the things on the table and left.
Chu Tianlu was secretly surprised in his heart, and said secretly in his heart: "There are so many foreign devils...... It looks like it's all this woman's subordinates!! I guess this woman should be the one looking for me!! Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look at the woman a few more times.
Seeing this, a feeling of déjà vu came from his heart, and without waiting for Chu Tianlu to continue to think about it, the loach walked up to him and gently touched him, and whispered in his ear: "It's good-looking!! This is the real beauty!! ”
Chu Tianlu realized the gaffe he had just made, and at this time, the woman also looked at Chu Tianlu. There seemed to be a hint of impatience in his eyes.
After waiting for those foreign devils to leave, the woman quickly changed her language and said in Mandarin, which was obviously a little rusty: "Old Yang, please take a seat." I'm sorry to invite you from so far away. Chu Tianlu didn't think that the woman's broken Chinese words were funny, but he thought it was very pleasant to the ear.
"Xiaoqiu, where is this. Just by my relationship with your father. Even if I don't make this happen, I want to see you. Yang Bingyan and this woman spoke in a tone that was obviously different from Chu Tianlu and them, which made Chu Tianlu, who was already very curious about her, even more interested.
