Today is September 17, 1910.

Jiang Liu remembered that Huo Yuanjia died on September 14, 1910. In other words, today is the day of Huo Yuanjia's funeral, and in the movie, Chen Zhen also returned from studying abroad today.

Even if it wasn't for the task, Jiang Liu felt that he shouldn't miss Huo Yuanjia's funeral, such a generation of grandmasters deserved people's respect.

Walking out of the alley, Jiang Liu asked the direction of the Jingwu Pavilion and hurried over.

Fortunately, he was not too far from the Jingwu Pavilion, and it only took him half an hour to arrive.

At this time, the sky has changed color, and the rain has been pouring down.

Before the heavy rain fell, the river rushed under the eaves and almost turned into a chicken in soup.

Jingwu Hall covers an area of several acres, if it is changed to Shanghai in the future, this land is worth hundreds of millions, to say the least. Huo Yuanjia was able to establish a huge Jingwu Pavilion, which was really extraordinary.

However, at this time, the Jingwu Pavilion was silent, and the white flags at the door were wet by the rain and dancing in the wind, which was particularly desolate.

"Who are you looking for?" A man in the porter poked his head out and asked.

Jiang Liu arched his hand and said: "I am a person from the Baji Gate, I have heard of Huo Yuanjia Gaoyi, and the day before yesterday, I heard that Huo Gongxian passed away, so I came to worship!" ”

"Then you're not lucky, Master Huo has already gone to the funeral." The porter pointed in a random direction and said, "The place where Master Huo is buried is in the northern suburbs, if you rush there now, it may be too late." ”

After speaking, he slammed the door shut, leaving Jiang Liu with an embarrassed face. Shanghai is so big, how does he know where the northern suburbs are!

Trample! Trample! Trample......

At this moment, a series of hurried footsteps came from the rain, and then a rickshaw rushed towards it.

Jiang Liu's eyes lit up, isn't Chen Zhen back?

Sure enough, a person got out of the rickshaw, about 1.7 meters tall, wearing a white suit, carrying a suitcase in his hand, looking like he was seven or eight points similar to Bruce Lee.

"Who are you? What are you doing here? ”

Chen Zhen saw a stranger stop at the door of the Jingwu Pavilion, and asked in a broken voice.

Jiang Liu didn't expect Chen Zhen to be so polite, but it's not surprising to think about it, Chen Zhen's personality was already more impulsive, and he suddenly encountered the death of his master, and it was inevitable that he would be in a bad mood.

Jiang Liu clenched his fists and said: "Under the lower river, under the Baji Gate." I heard that Huo Gongxian passed away and came to worship, but unfortunately it was a step late, Huo Gong had already come out of the funeral, and I didn't know the road in the northern suburbs, so I could only wait here for the time being. ”

"What...... The master is gone? ”

Chen Zhen's face changed wildly, and suddenly he seemed to have been drained of his strength, and fell to his knees in despair. Chen Zhen rushed back day and night, but he didn't expect to miss the last time he saw his master. Immediately fell to the ground and wept bitterly.

Jiang Liu stepped forward and persuaded: "Not long after Huo Gong's funeral, we may be able to see his old man for the last time when we go now." ”

"That's right! You're right! ”

Chen Zhen woke up from a dream and hurriedly shouted: "Let's take the tram, maybe we can get in front of them!" ”

At this time, Shanghai already had trams. It's just that there are too few routes, and they are divided into three sections, and the fare for each section is only 1 copper dollar.

At this time, 1 silver dollar could buy 20 catties of rice (this was the retail price of the Shanghai rice market in the spring of 1909), which was equivalent to about 60 yuan.

One silver dollar is equivalent to 128 copper dollars, which is less than 5 cents when converted into a copper dollar, which shows the cheapness of taking the tram.

Rao is like this, Jiang Liu has no money to take the car, although he has some renminbi on him, but he doesn't dare to take it out!

But fortunately, Chen Zhen is not short of money, and those who can afford to study in this era are not short of money.

After Chen Zhen knew that Jiang Liu had no money, he not only helped Jiang Liu pay the fare, but also stuffed a few pieces of ocean into Jiang Liu's pocket.

Jiang Liu smiled awkwardly and said, "I lost the entanglement on the way here, and I will definitely return the money to you when I turn around!" ”

Chen Zhen said: "You specially came from other places to worship my master, you are our friend of the Jingwu Pavilion, this is what I should do!" ”

"If you want to pay it back, you want to pay it back!" Jiang Liu was worried that he didn't have a chance to deal with Chen Zhen. This borrowed money to repay the money, came and went, and it was not long before it was ripe.

Chen Zhen was in no mood to care about these at this time, waved his hand casually, and leaned on the carriage with his head hanging down and a tired face.

The two took the tram and caught up with the funeral procession in time.

Like the original book, when he was buried, Chen Zhen wept bitterly, knelt in front of Huo Yuanjia's coffin and refused to leave.

Although everyone sighed that Chen Zhen was loyal and filial, it was not a way to go down, if the time of burial was missed, I am afraid it would be unlucky.

In desperation, Chen Zhen's elder brother Liu Zhensheng had no choice but to knock Chen Zhen unconscious. A seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman wearing a floral cloth dress helped Chen Zhen aside with a distressed face. Jiang Liu recognized this girl as Chen Zhen's childhood sweetheart sister Li'er.

At the same time, Jiang Liu was also secretly observing the people of the Jingwu Sect. In the Jingwu Sect, in addition to Chen Zhen, the strongest kung fu should be Huo Yuanjia's big apprentice Liu Zhensheng, but it is a pity that Liu Zhensheng is too pedantic, under the bullying of the Japanese, he only knows how to swallow his anger, and he does not dare to resist even if the master's mourning hall is smashed, Chen Zhen finally cut himself off at gunpoint and has a certain relationship with this person, in Jiang Liu's view, although this person is strong in kung fu, he has not inherited Huo Yuanjia's spirit of martial arts, and he is really incompetent.

After Huo Yuanjia entered the earth, the crowd gradually dispersed, because Chen Zhen fainted, and Jiang Liu had to leave alone.

When the rain stopped, I found a pawnshop and sold a multi-purpose Swiss Army knife that I carried with me for thirty oceans.

With these 30 oceans, it is enough for Jiang Liu to live in Shanghai for a while. However, Jiang Liu also regrets that he does not have the habit of carrying a watch, otherwise the watch of the 21st century will definitely be worth a lot of money in this era.

Later, Jiang Liu found another place to live. This place is not far from Jingwumen, and Jiang Liu rented it for two oceans for a month.

According to the plot, three days later, Huo Yuanjia's first seventh, Hongkou Dojo sent a translator and two Japanese to send a plaque of "The Sick Man of East Asia", which is also the flashpoint of the whole plot. Later, Chen Zhen overturned the entire Hongkou Dojo, and the Hongkou Dojo smashed the Jingwu Pavilion, and finally Chen Zhen killed the owner of the Jingwu Pavilion, Suzuki Kuan, in a fit of rage.

The time in which this episode takes place should be extremely tight.

Therefore, Jiang Liu must use the free time of these three days to prepare, set a plan, and help Chen Zhen escape from Shanghai immediately once something happens to him.

So, Jiangliu toured the whole of Shanghai. Now that we have come to this era, of course, we have to feel the customs and customs of Shanghai Beach in the Republic of China. Of course, it is also to figure out the topography of Shanghai. If he wants to help Chen Zhen escape from the Japanese and the patrol house, he will definitely not be able to do it if he is not familiar with the terrain.

During this period, Jiang Liu also contacted Chen Zhen several times in the name of repaying the money and thanking him, and the relationship between the two became familiar with a lot.

However, on the third day, Jiang Liu was in trouble.
