Chapter Ninety-Five: The Eight Kingdoms Are in Turmoil

Mr. Peng gave a promise and recognition, although it is not that Xu Huzi has become a teacher, but it is not far off.

Huzi has always felt that although he is not as good as his master, his ability is definitely not low. A lot of people ask for things that come to the door, and Huzi thinks that he can solve them as well as the master. And that's exactly what happened. Not to mention the distance, just counting the past few months with my fingers, the matter of Chang Qiu, the matter of An Yanei, and the matter of the nocturnal wandering girl have all been handled very satisfactorily. is the matter of the turtle ghost, and it is also Huzi is means that are not low.

But Huzi is used to it. He was used to following Mr. Peng and doing a little reminder before and after. Every time he went out to do dirty work, Mr. Peng handled it, and Huzi waited aside. Even if he knew he could come here, he wouldn't do it. In front of him, people called him "Little Chief", and as soon as he turned around, he only knew Mr. Peng's reputation. Only the master of the Tao brought a disciple, and no one thought more about Huzi.

Huzi is also a teenager with a temper, if he doesn't want to be famous, he doesn't want to be treated as a high-ranking guest wherever he goes, it is empty talk. This time, Mr. Peng said that "small things" can let him come forward on his own, which means a little let go, and only after Peng Xiuzhen can there be Peng Hu on the rivers and lakes. How can Huzi not be alive in his heart?

But no matter how much I live in my heart, I still have to live day by day, practicing and practicing, reading the scriptures and seeing things, as usual.

Fu Daoren went to Liaoyuan, which is a good thing, at least it means that his mind is not on the ghost family. The monk who claimed to be innocent was also gone, and this was indeed like a fish in the throat. However, what worries the ghost family the most is the owner of the stone rune.

After Wu Chunlan retreated that day, Mr. Peng naturally told Grandma Seventeen about the matter through Hu Chuanwen. Thinking about the Hu family's many disciples, they are all over the place, and they can always find some clues. But as soon as Wu Chunlan left, she was like a mud cow entering the sea, and there was no trace of her.

Wu Chunlan is arrogant, speaking and doing things with full momentum, not like a bluff. So how much ability does its owner have to make this old smoke soul fearless? The more I didn't know, the more awkward I felt in my heart. But people are in the light and in the dark, and they can only hope that the other party can't swallow this breath and come to the door again.

These things on the rivers and lakes have not been straightened out, and the court has not stopped.

It is said that in another day, Huzi entered the city alone and pulled the soul of a frightened child in the city. When I entered the city in the morning, it was fine, but at noon, when I came out of the man's house, it was good, and the street was full of peopleβ€”Huzi followed the flow of people, but he saw that the entrance of the yamen was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and from a distance you could see a piece of black pressure one after another.

Huzi joined in the fun, so he stepped forward. However, the crowd was densely surrounded, and the tiger couldn't squeeze in front. So he asked the people around him: "This big brother, ask what's wrong." ”

"I don't know!" This is a simple-looking young man, and he said, "It is said that the yamen has posted a new poster, and I don't know how to read, so I am waiting for the person in front of me to tell me." ”

Although it is in the city, there are still many illiterate people. "Cangqiao knows etiquette and etiquette", people who don't even have a real place to eat, where do they have the leisure to read? Whenever something big happens, after the government makes a notice, there will be some literate and good things to read to people.

After receiving a response from this young man, Huzi was not in a hurry to squeeze forward, it should be that many people didn't understand what was going on, waiting for a response.

I waited for a while, but I heard that there was a commotion in front of me. A man could be heard crying loudly: "Queen Mother Lafayette! "Huzi wondered in his heart, the Queen Mother Lafayette has returned to heaven? After listening carefully, he could be considered to have heard the number from people's words.

The government put up two notices and told two things.

One thing, Heilongjiang General Shoushan, has been martyred for more than a month, but he has never informed the people. The Russian army did not block too much from north to south, one army captured Qiqihar, and the other army had already occupied Yingkou!

One more thing, the Eight-Nation Coalition broke through the gate of Beijing, foreign soldiers bombarded the Forbidden City, and the Queen Mother Lafayette ran away overnight! Before the Empress Dowager Lafayette left, she issued an edict, saying that the Boxer Rebellion was the root and seedling of the disaster, and that the boxers were in chaos and slaughtered friendly countries, and that the Qing soldiers from all over the country were ordered to assist the friendly countries in killing them without delay.

Run away? It's almost as good as escaping! When Huzi heard these two news, his mind didn't turn for a while.

He has never liked the Boxers very much, and it is good that the Boxers are deceived and ignorant, and he does not believe in any "invulnerability" nonsense. The sight of forty or fifty heads rolling off is still in front of him, how can Huzi not be disgusted with this sect under the banner of "God Fighting"? Moreover, the story told by Li Lintang that day, Huzi also remembers it clearly, knowing that there were a lot of stinky fish and rotten shrimp in the Boxers, and he likes to do some fly camp and dog tricks.

But Huzi really admired this Boxer. The imperial court didn't dare to fight with the foreigners, but the Boxers dared! Not only did he dare to fight, but he also won a few fights! It is said that a few days ago in Beijing, the Boxers armed with broadswords and spears killed many foreigners. This can't be faked, and there must be iron-clad men in this Boxer. There is a saying that "the people are afraid of the court, the court is afraid of foreigners, and foreigners are afraid of the people", which shows that the Boxers are brilliant!

But how can you say that change has changed? The day before yesterday, it was said that it was invulnerable, but on this day, it was to make the foreign army fall to the ground. The imperial court also turned its face and did not recognize people, yesterday it was still said that the boxers were invincible, and the above statement said that "the boxers are loyal and brave, and they can be of great use", and today the Boxers have become boxers and bandits again, and the Qing army in various places is going to "kill" the Boxers.

Huzi snorted and scolded in a low voice: "It's not a good thing." ”

It had been four or five days since the porridge shack for the groceries on the same street was removed. No matter how big the proprietor is, he can't manage the full food of the people in the world, and the groceries on the same street have given porridge and rice to the homeless people for so long, which can be regarded as benevolence and righteousness.

At this end, Huzi naturally wanted to go in and have a look. Calculate the time, after July 25, the private school is going to have a five-day monthly holiday, if Zhao Xiaogou is not at home, he should have come to this shop.

When I inquired inside, the guy said that he was there, and he led the tiger to the back hall. When I came in, I saw that it was not only Zhao Xiaogou who was in the store, but Xiao Jiu was also in the store. It's just that Zhao Xiaogou was sullen, with two tear stains on his face, as if he had just cried. Xiao Jiu stood aside and didn't speak, but a woman patted the dog's back with Lingzhi and comforted her in a low voice.

The dog is the only seedling of the old Zhao family, which one dares to provoke him without opening his eyes? Huzi was a little surprised when he saw it: "What's the matter, who bullied the dog?" ”

As soon as he spoke, a few people in the back room saw him. When the dog saw Huzi coming, he cried out again with a "wow", and stretched out his hand to point at Xiao Jiu: "Brother Huzi!" You help me hit him, he bullies me! ”

"Huzi, you're here!" Xiao Jiu was pointed at by the dog like this, and he shouted to Huzi, "Huzi, you say that I am not wronged!" I just told him that General Shoushan was dead, and he said that I lied to him and cried, what can I do? ”

"You're not teasing him?" Lingzhi scolded Xiao Jiu, "Why do you say bad things about General Shoushan?" The dog is nervous about the general! ”

Huzi knows this, when the dog talked to Huzi about General Shoushan that day, it was called an eyebrow flying color dance, and it was called a fascination. But General Shoushan is really dead, and he has been dead for more than a month. Presumably, Xiao Jiu knew what was written on the notice, so he told the dog to listen.

Huzi had no choice but to step forward to comfort him, and put his hand on the dog's shoulder: "Don't cry dog, go, brother will take you to hunt birds in the afternoon." ”

"I'm not going to ......" Gouzi shook off Huzi's hand, "Brother Huzi, I believe you, you say, is General Shoushan dead?" ”

Huzi made a difficulty, but he didn't want to deceive Zhao Xiaogou, so he nodded: "The government has posted a notice that General Shoushan has been martyred." ”

Xiao Jiu usually jokes with the dog and teases the dog. But Huzi never deceived Zhao Xiaogou verbally, and the dog trusted Huzi very much. Now that he heard Huzi tell him like this, he knew that this was not Xiao Jiu's joke with him, and he cried even more sadly: "General Shoushan...... A hero like Zhao Zilong, how could he die! ”

In fact, the dog may not have a deep affection for General Shoushan, he is still young, and he does not understand the impact of General Heilongjiang's martyrdom. He just listened to the storyteller and finally said that he was a living person, a big hero who lived in Kanto, and felt that the hero was finally not on the stage of the script, and he was really here. Now that Shoushan is martyred, the dog's heroic dream is shattered, and there is no longer a living hero.

After crying for a while, the dog slowed down and pulled the corner of Lingzhi's clothes: "Sister Lingzhi, I want to drink water." Lingzhi got up and was about to move, but was stopped by the woman, and she said to the dog: "Young master, you are obedient, don't cry, play with the two little brothers, and my aunt will bring you some lotus seed soup." ”

This woman looked no more than thirty years old, and what Huzi recognized was the dog's biological mother. However, she is just a concubine, and she can't be the dog's mother, and the dog has always been called an aunt, and the woman can only call the dog to be a "young master".

As soon as Aunt Gouzi left, Gouzi came to Huzi's side again: "Brother Huzi, tell me, how did the general die?" ”

Huzi just heard the noise inside in the outer circle, picked up a few words and came back, and didn't see what was written on the notice with his own eyes.

"General Shoushan, he is really a man who fights in the subway!" But Xiao Jiu agreed over there, "That demeanor is calm, it sounds like a drama!" ”

Huzi listened to what Xiao Jiu said, and he also came to the spirit: "How to speak?" ”

"Hey! Since ancient times, the fate of loyalty and good fortune has been ruined! Xiao Jiu first sighed before saying, "General Nashoushan was forced to death by the imperial court!" At the beginning of June, Lord Li Hongzhang ordered that the general should not be allowed to resist Lao Maozi's army, and asked the general to negotiate with Lao Maozi. The military order was difficult to disobey, and the general had to obey, Lao Maozi did not pay attention to morality, and took advantage of the negotiation to directly knock down the provincial capital. General Shoushan swore to live and die with the city, ashamed of falling into the hands of the enemy, put on his court clothes, lay down in the coffin, and let his son shoot himself to death! Where can the major general do it? was forced to shoot by his own father, but only hit his left arm, the general's personal soldiers were decisive and fired a shot, which was right in the chest, and General Shoushan was a breath! ”
