With the network of the Zhili branch and the cooperation of Guo's old disciples, the operation codenamed 'Cleansing' went very smoothly, and a large amount of liquid funds were remitted to Zhengding from all over the country.

Of course, there are also a lot of sub-altars left behind, which are used to dot up and down and develop believers.

There is no way, people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. If you don't have enough strength, you can only follow the rules temporarily.

The firm went south, built the college, selected the students, and with the funds, everyone was very busy, and Lin Hai, who had just returned from Tianjin, couldn't even take a break, and was abducted by Master Zhou to Guangzhou to deal with the general helm.

"Uncle Zhou, this is the first printed version of the Sino-British manifesto, I promise to give it to Zhangshou, and I ask you to help me hand it over to him when you pass by Shaoxing."

Outside the city gate, Meng Ke, who came to see him off, handed a wrapped book to Master Zhou.

"I have a heart! Zhangshou has a friend like you, and I'm happy for him. Master Zhou said with emotion, and he didn't plan to open the package.

After a few pleasantries, the caravan left Zhengding with a mighty procession and headed north.

Meng Ke watched the team drift away, and he couldn't help but feel melancholy.

"Second Senior Brother, ...... they're gone"

Huang Jian saw Meng Ke standing on the side of the road with a lonely face, and couldn't help but step forward and comfort: "Senior brother, don't miss it too much, they will be back soon." ”

"No, who misses them?"

Just when Huang Jian thought that the little junior brother was still hard-mouthed, Meng Ke said with a sad face: "As soon as they leave, everything will fall on my shoulders......"

"I don't want to work overtime!"

Huang Jian: ......

"Ahem, little junior brother, with me, I'll share it for you!"

As a senior brother, you must have the responsibility of a senior brother, and when the senior brother is not there, the second senior brother immediately stepped forward.

Who would have thought that Meng Ke glanced at Huang Jian, who was five big and three thick, immediately held back his tears, and said with a straight face: "Forget it, I'll do it myself." If the rebellion spreads out and wants to lose its head, there can be no mistakes. ”

Huang Jian: ......

Discrimination, naked discrimination! Zhang Feibao's head and eyes are still thick and thin!

His face darkened, and he turned and left.

I can't talk anymore, it's too hurtful.

……

In Mazhuang, a large house, a dozen progressive youth groups who have recovered from their injuries sit around.

In the center of them was a table covered with gravel, and Lu Haodong stood in front of the table, writing with chopsticks and using layers of sand as paper, breaking and crumpling his understanding of the declaration little by little, and telling it to everyone.

He was educated in the Confucian tradition, and also received a lot of Western scientific and cultural knowledge and democratic ideas from Mr. Dixiang.

Although that kind of thinking is opposed to the subjective position of the present manifesto, it does not prevent him from finding his own values and ideas in this book.

It will take time to prove which is stronger and which is weak, and which is better and which is bad.

But at least these are new ideas, and if you want to break the feudal traditional thinking and complete the uprising, you can only choose to unite all the forces that can be united.

Time passed minute by minute, Lu Haodong's mouth was dry but he didn't feel tired at all, but he felt a kind of pleasure like a fish in water.

He looked up at the sun outside the window, then overlapped the manuscript and placed it on the table, arranging his clothes, and said, "My lords, this is the end of the day. If you have any doubts, you can ask me after the meal and we will discuss them together. ”

With that, he bowed deeply to the progressive youth around him.

The young men immediately returned the salute.

After Lu Haodong got up, he smiled and arched his hand: "Gentlemen, encourage each other!" ”

All the young people also replied to Lu Haodong and the friends around him: "I am willing to encourage you and others!" ”

Outside the house, Meng Ke stood in the north wind wrapped in his coat and shivering.

Looking at this scene, he stabbed Huang Jian beside him with his elbow: "Senior brother, how do you feel?" ”

Huang Jian scratched the back of his head and gave three words in Meng Ke's expectant eyes: "I don't understand!" ”

He didn't understand, but that didn't mean Meng didn't understand.

In my country of Chinese etiquette, some traditions still have to be passed down more vigorously.

Soon, the young people in the house came out one after another.

After seeing the two people standing outside, he was stunned for a moment, and then stepped forward to salute in twos and threes.

As for the life-saving grace, they have already thanked them many times, and they no longer care about these false gifts, but only wait to put them into action.

The last one to come out was naturally Lu Haodong.

"Brother Lu!"

Meng Ke bowed his hand and looked at Lu Haodong.

He looked much thinner than before.

"Why don't you see Brother Zhu today?"

Lu Haodong pointed to the place where everyone was going, and sighed: "Brother Zhu is learning from boxers with some brothers who focus on martial arts." He said that after this battle, he realized that 'the body is the capital of the revolution'. ”

Meng Ke knew that he was thinking of those young people who had not survived the torture and the cold winter.

"Brother Zhu still knows that the body is the capital, why doesn't Brother Lu know? How have you been getting thinner lately? But the village is short of food? ”

The branch church pays every month, so it is naturally impossible to have a shortage of food, and the villagers of Mazhuang Village are not going to do such a thing.

Lu Haodong shook his head with a wry smile and said: "The villagers are simple, we all have no worries about food and clothing, but Lu is thoughtful and can't swallow it. ”

"Brother Lu......"

As soon as Meng Ke wanted to speak, he saw that Lu Haodong wanted to speak and stopped, so he made a 'please' gesture and motioned for him to speak first.

"It's hard to repay the life-saving grace, and it's really deserved to take care of it like this. This is not my family's words, but the thoughts of all brothers. ”

Lu Haodong sighed: "Such a great favor should have given everything we had and repaid with our lives, but since the seven-foot body has promised the country, it is really difficult to promise Qing." ”

The country in Lu Haodong's mouth is of course not the Qing court, but this land, Chixian Shenzhou.

Although he knew what he meant, Meng Ke's hand behind his back unconsciously covered his buttocks: ......

"Ahem...... It just so happens that I came to find Brother Lu this time because I need Brother Lu's help. Since Brother Lu feels that he can't eat and deserve it, why don't you do me a favor? ”

Lu Haodong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said hurriedly: "Brother Zhang, as long as it doesn't violate morality and ethics, we are willing to give it a try." ”

Meng Ke smiled slightly, stretched out his finger and pointed to the east: "Recently, the ancestral hall is building a house, does Brother Lu know the reason?" ”

"I don't know, isn't it that the villagers are illiterate and want me to help them supervise the work?"

Meng Ke shook his head slightly: "Brother Lu is wrong, an academy is being built there. ”

After that, Meng Ke shared his thoughts and asked Lu Haodong to serve as the first ideological director and ideological education teacher of the college, popularize new ideas for students, and pass on the ideas in the manifesto to more people.

"Open the people's wisdom, this move is really a great good deed. Lu will fully cooperate. Lu Haodong nodded excitedly, sweeping away his gloomy anger.
