After losing power, the train slowed down and eventually stopped before hitting the pile of rocks paved on the railway.

More than a dozen horse bandits on horseback rushed to the vicinity of the train, and they did not enter the train in one go, but stayed outside the train to observe the situation.

Neither the inside nor outside the car had the option to shoot rashly at this moment.

Bao Guowei didn't know what was going on in the other carriages, at least there was probably no bandits' internal response in this first-class carriage, but there were only three guards left in the living force.

Of course, there are more than twenty passengers, I'm afraid it's not counting.

"The bandits are dead, and they will definitely not give up! The passenger with the gun quickly took out the gun! ”

A guard shouted loudly, and when he heard this, some passengers immediately reacted and looked for their packages among the scattered luggage.

In this day and age, people who go far away always like to bring a gun unless they can't afford it.

Yet most of the passengers huddled in place and shivered, waiting for others to resist or for the judgment to come.

At this moment, another middle-aged man in a fur coat among the horse bandits began to shout in a loud voice:

"Robbing money is not robbing life! Resist and kill! ”

The status of this horse bandit was obviously extremely high, and as soon as he opened his mouth, even if the other horse bandits were a little angry about the killing of their accomplices, they could only shout along with him.

The horse bandits controlled the horses and ran around the train, shouting the phrase incessantly.

Hearing the words of the horse bandits, people's hearts began to waver again:

Is what this horse bandit said true or false? Do you really not kill people?

The leader of the horse bandits grasped the hearts of the people with great accuracy:

When the enemy is strong and we are weak, as long as we give others a glimmer of hope, it will naturally greatly reduce their desire to resist.

The last straw that overwhelmed people's hearts was the appearance of dozens of bandits at the stone pile.

Since ancient times, there have been more people and fewer horses, and it is not surprising that there are more than a dozen horse bandits on horseback alone, and there are dozens of other bandits.

The guards were almost depleted of ammunition in their guns, and it was difficult to replenish them, plus the enemy outnumbered them......

In this situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak, most people simply choose to give up resistance and throw their guns under them.

The situation in each carriage was more or less the same, first giving up and then giving up, and people chose the strategy of non-resistance.

And Bao Guowei didn't choose to resist anymore, people are swords and I am fish and meat, it is useless to resist, it is better to know the times as Junjie.

At this point, Bao Guowei actually has an indifferent attitude towards whether he dies or not.

Even if he was a person who had died once, if he really wanted to talk about it, it wouldn't be a big deal to die again.

What's there to be nostalgic for in this old world? Figure it doesn't have a computer, a mobile phone, or is it full of bandits and landlords?

Besides, I almost have almost everything in my head, and although I still know some extremely "rough" history, I'm afraid it won't help.

Apart from...... Lao Bao, Bao Guowei knows very well that if he dies, Lao Bao is afraid that he will be in pain, but there are thousands of oceans at home, which is enough for him to enjoy a lifetime of happiness with peace of mind.

"Don't resist!"

"Don't resist!"

The horse bandits had already boarded the car, and they shouted loudly in dialect.

The guards' guns had long since been thrown to the ground, and no one in the entire train dared to resist.

The doors of the first-class carriage were opened, and several horse bandits rushed in and began to loot their belongings.

Soon a horse bandit inspected the floor of the derailed carriage, and he saw his accomplices among several corpses.

When Bao Guowei saw this situation, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Fortunately, the robber just looked around, but did not ask who killed his accomplice.

In the end, the robbers kept their promise and did not kill a single person at will, but only robbed some valuable things.

Moreover, this group of horse bandits even knew to leave a few dollars as a road entanglement, and did not do anything to kill them all.

I was robbed by horse bandits, but I only lost a few dozen dollars, and my life was fine, I really don't know if this is bad luck or good.

In this world, innocent people can only admit to being robbed.

This time it is a blessing in misfortune to encounter this kind of "high-level" bandit who robs money and does not kill him, and Bao Guowei will definitely not go out casually after his decision - unless he is sitting in an armored car or tank.

Fortunately, before coming, the money given by Fan Xudong had been deposited in Tianjin Citizen Bank, and the check was sent back to his hometown in Suzhou by post, otherwise I would have lost a lot this time.

And the three subordinates of the Bao family were useless in front of this group of horse bandits, and they were controlled by the guards in the second carriage from beginning to end, and they couldn't even find Bao Guowei.

Fortunately, when the horse bandits finally withdrew, several members of the Bao family met, and none of the four had an accident.

……

The railway company in charge of Tianjin and Shanghai is government-run and has not made any compensation for this.

In a blink of an eye, two days and three nights passed.

The train crossed the mountains and rivers, changed the coal several times and added water several times on the way, and finally drove from Tianjin to Shanghai.

The passengers on the carriage have already changed, and after the previous incident of the horse bandits, most of the passengers' courage has been frightened, and they have already gotten off at the transfer station in advance.

It was night, and the train entered Shanghai.

When he saw the tall buildings and flashing neon signs in Shanghai at night through the window, Bao Guowei's heart felt a little settled.

Although there were some big episodes along the way, it was not far from home after all.

If the car from Tianjin to Shanghai is still a bit dangerous, from Shanghai to Suzhou is different: not only is the drive short, but the stability of Jiangnan is much higher than that of the north.

And if you count the time, the latest edition of Ta Kung Pao has probably been released, and Shanghai, which is the center of the country, has already published its own deeds.

This is where the train arrives at its final station, and the next train to Suzhou will not depart until this day.

This train lasted nearly three days, and before that, he encountered horse bandits, and he shot two people, which made Bao Guowei very depressed, and he had long wanted to get out of the car to breathe.

Of course, you can't just breathe, you also have to get some coils for yourself, otherwise the next time you take the train, I'm afraid you will only have to take the third class.

The three subordinates had already arrived in the first class cabin at this moment, and they were waiting respectfully on the side, waiting for Bao Guowei to give orders.

"Let's go, go out for a walk, go to the Chu family."

Bao Guowei stood up and said to everyone lukewarmly.

After experiencing a life-and-death crisis, Zhang Ergou has not changed much, after all, he himself has participated in the Northern Expedition.

But the two brothers of the Wang family, especially Wang Xiaowu, obviously lost their previous liveliness, and when he heard his young master's words, he just nodded slightly.

At night, although there are many people gathered near the Shanghai Railway Station, it is still less than during the day, not so crowded, and the four members of the Bao family are in the first class again, and they get off the train without feeling any resistance.

After getting out of the car, the originally stuffy atmosphere disappeared, replaced by a few wisps of "cool" fireworks, which always lingered on the tip of the nose, which made people feel a lot more energetic.

The moonlight is shining, and there are classic cars driving by in thick smoke on the road, and rickshaws are running with passengers.

The electrified street lamps emit a dazzling light, illuminating the ground and dragging out the shadows of people.

Neon signs of various colors are embedded in the shops along the street, and the sound of music records can be heard from the dance halls.

The popular singers writheled on the stage of the dance hall, which was packed, and from time to time there were bursts of applause, and people with little money stood outside the dance hall and watched the performances inside, even if it was just to listen to it.

As soon as he got off the train, he hadn't taken a few steps, and Bao Guowei always felt that many pedestrians on the road seemed to be looking at his face, intentionally or unintentionally.

……

There is a kebab seller near the train station, and the lamb skewers are being grilled on the iron platform.

At this time, the firewood was burning vigorously, and it was "crackling".

The four of the Bao family took the train for three days, eating some dry food, and suddenly encountered this barbecue sprinkled with spices and bubbling aromas, and naturally they couldn't walk.

The group of bandits did not do anything to eat the household, on the contrary, they were a little intimate: Bao Guowei left three yuan on his body, and of course, the subordinates around him also left coils, but none of them had more than two yuan.

Bao Guowei took out a shiny big silver dollar from his suit pocket, put it on his palm and stretched it out:

"Take it all!"

Even in a high-price area like Shanghai, this dollar can directly cover a large row of roast mutton on a round iron stand, and there can even be a surplus.

When the little vendor saw a piece of the ocean, his eyes were straight, and he saw that Bao Guowei was dressed luxuriously and had an extraordinary temperament, so he didn't dare to touch his hand.

After the vendor took the money carefully, he carefully touched the texture of the silver dollar, put it in his mouth and took a bite, and immediately put it in his pocket with a smile, and immediately began to put the mutton skewers on the skewers.

Just as the vendor lowered his head and happily skewered, he realized that something was wrong.

He raised his head and looked at Bao Guowei's face, only to feel that this face was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

"You...... You are? ”

The vendor originally wanted to ask, but in the end he shook his head, how can this kind of "big man" be so easy to see?

But Bao Guowei could clearly sense that something was wrong, and someone had been watching him since he got off the train, and now the little vendor seemed to know him......

So it seems that his deeds have been published in the newspapers? Not only that, but this newspaper also has its own portrait?

Originally, Bao Guowei thought that the newspapers in Shanghai would only have his name on them at most, and would not carry photographs, after all, portraits could not be disseminated by telegraph and landlines.

Now it seems that even the portrait has come out...... The only explanation, I am afraid, is that the photographs in the newspaper were flown in by air.

……

Anyway, buy a newspaper and read it first!

In this era, near the train station in every city, in addition to pickpockets, pimps, and omnivorous sellers, there must be newsboys who provide newspapers for people who have just gotten off the train, and Shanghai is no exception.

"News! Big event! Shocked at home and abroad, the genius boy Bao Guowei successfully developed ......"

On the side of the road was an eleven or twelve-year-old newsboy in a black coat waving a newspaper in his hand.

Hearing Bao Guowei's name, the three subordinates of the Bao family immediately looked at the newsboy, and then at Bao Guowei, with some disbelief in their eyes.

In the eyes of the three subordinates, the newspaper is a high-end thing, and only the real big people can board it!

"Young master, you're in the newspaper!"

When Wang Xiaowu heard that his young master was in the newspaper, he seemed to be even more excited than Bao Guowei.

Hearing that the newsboy did call out his name, Bao Guowei immediately sent Wang Xiaowu to buy a newspaper.

Wang Xiaowu was illiterate, and he couldn't understand what was written on it after buying one, but he could read the headshot in this newspaper after all.

When he saw this portrait, his eyes widened suddenly, his lips began to tremble a little, his face became distinctly respectful, and he solemnly trotted back with the newspaper in his hand.

"Young Master! That's it! ”

Wang Xiaowu's voice almost turned into a scream! He even struggled to suppress himself from shouting as he spoke.

Bao Guowei took the newspaper and looked at it - this is not "Ta Kung Pao", but "Declaration".

"Declaration" is a newspaper of a local newspaper in Shanghai, which belongs to the same level as "Ta Kung Pao", and its influence is very huge, and it can cover the whole country.

The first thing that catches my eye is his own photo, the mimeograph technology of this newspaper is very mature, Bao Guowei can clearly recognize that the person in this photo is indeed himself, and he is quite happy in his heart.

Let's take a look at this title: "Shocking at home and abroad, the genius boy Bao Guowei developed a new alkali method".

And his big-headed portrait is impressively reflected in the center of the first section of the newspaper, and below is a row of large characters written in traditional Chinese from right to left:

"On December 12, 1927, the new alkali production method was born in the No. 3 laboratory of the Science Building of Yongli Alkali Factory."

"Bao Guowei, a genius boy under the age of 16, successfully researched the "Bao's alkali production method", and its practical value is not inferior to the world's most advanced Solvay alkali production method......

Bao Guowei looked at this newspaper, and his previous depressed mood was swept away.

Now that he has been on the "Ta Kung Pao" and "Declaration", he is famous all over the world, no wonder the pedestrians on the road were looking at him before.

Zhang Ergou stood behind Bao Guowei, and when he saw this newspaper, his face was even more shocked:

He knew that the person he came out to meet on this trip was very powerful, and that Hou Debang had been on the "Ta Kung Pao", and his young master was naturally very powerful if he could contact this kind of person.

But he never imagined that his young master could also appear in a national newspaper like "The News", and it also occupied a headline.

And Wang Dazhui, no matter how simple he is, he knows how powerful his young master is now.

"You! You are really Bao Guowei! ”

When the barbecue vendor saw this, he realized that the person standing in front of him was indeed the one in the newspaper.

The vendors became more and more respectful......

……

Shanghai Chujia, in the new ocean building.

The walls are decorated with minimalist brick and stone, and the tea table in the room is placed with a teapot, and the cup is already filled with tea.

"This ...... For this reason, it is really surprising that you have made such a big name on this trip. ”

Chu Ze said with a smile.

In the evening, Chu Ze hadn't woken up yet, but when he heard the news of Bao Guowei's arrival, he immediately set up a table of tea and called someone to a banquet.

In the face of Bao Guowei, who has now made a name for himself, even he can no longer simply regard him as an "inferior person" with high utilization value.

"Alas! This time it was successful, or luck was the majority. ”

"First allicin, and then a new alkali method, I'm afraid it doesn't make sense of luck, right?"

The purpose of Bao Guowei's trip is not simply to borrow some entanglements, but now, as long as he pokes out the allicin, his reputation will ......

And anyone who has been saved by allicin, or who has been cured with it, has to show their own affection!
