Chapter 44: The Common People
Li Xiake picked up the sack with a gun, walked out of the Jingwu Gate, and walked straight forward.
The people along the way saw its appearance and majesty, but anyone who had read Li Xiake's wanted notice in the newspaper exclaimed in surprise.
A bold scholar in a long robe stepped forward quickly and asked Li Xiake, "But Li Daxia?"
Li Xiake nodded and said, "Yes, I'm Li Xiake!"
The scholar was extremely excited and said, "Why did you come to Shanghai? Beware of the Japanese arresting you!"
Li Xiake said: "If they want to come, let them come!"
Some children saw that Li Xiake was dressed strangely, and they dared to follow behind, giggling and watching the excitement, and some people saw Li Xiake's face change greatly, as if they were hiding from the plague, and left in a hurry.
Li Xiake walked a few steps, saw a restaurant, stepped into the door, and shouted: "Shopkeeper, it's time for business!"
A shopkeeper with a white towel on his shoulder bent over to greet him, nodded and said, "This master, what are you going to eat...... Li Xiake!"
After he saw Li Xiake's appearance clearly, his body shook and almost fell to the ground: "Are you Li Daxia?
Just now, the scholar who had been following Li Xiake's side, heard the words and scolded the shopkeeper: "What are you talking about? Go and make a few portions of your signature rice!"
Li Xiake glanced at the scholar beside him: "What do you call it?"
The scholar hugged his fist to Li Xiake and said: "Brother's surname is Chen, and the cursive character is Minghua." ”
Li Xiake sighed: "It's a pity that you are not Chen Tianhua!"
Chen Tianhua was a member of the League, and he had written books such as "Warning Bell" and "Fierce Return" to promote revolutionary ideas. When Li Xiake was reviewing the history of the Republic of China, he had read these two books more than once.
It's a pity that now Chen Tianhua has committed suicide in the sea in Japan and died in the country, when Li Xiake came to this world, in fact, he wanted to see this person the most, but the time period was wrong, a few years late.
Now when I heard that the scholar in front of me called himself Chen Minghua, I immediately thought of Chen Tianhua.
Chen Minghua seemed to know the name Chen Tianhua, and when he heard this, his face showed surprise, and he said, "Chen Tianhua is my cousin, Li Daxia, you also know his name?"
Li Xiake was surprised: "He is your cousin, good guy, good guy, I met the Chen family today, and it is not in vain that I came to Shanghai for a trip." ”
Chen Minghua said gloomily: "If Uncle Jia is still alive and knows what Li Daxia has done recently, he will definitely be happy and unable to sleep! Li Daxia, if there are a few more heroes like you in China, which foreigner would dare to bully us!"
Li Xiake shook his head and said: "I'm just a brave man, I only know how to kill, it's nothing." Only by opening up the wisdom of the people, all parties working together, and forging ahead, can we save China. ”
Chen Minghua said: "Work together? Hehe, in order to make everyone work together, Uncle Jia jumped into the sea to commit suicide, hoping to wake up the world, but what effect is there? You have also seen it, everyone is still messing around for their own affairs, and Uncle Jia's death is really not worth it!"
Li Xiake shook his head and said, "I can't say that, after all, his death still inspired some people, but it's really a pity to do such a hasty thing with a useful body!"
At this time, the tavern owner personally served a few dishes to Li Xiake, and bent down to Li Xiake and said: "Li Daxia, this is the specialty dish of the small shop, please use it quickly! This dish is free for the villain!"
Chen Minghua next to him was stunned and said: "Quick use? People in the taverns say that people use it slowly, why do you say it is fast to use?"
The tavernkeeper's face turned red, and he said crampedly: "Li Daxia has killed so many Japanese, the villain is honest, he admires it from the bottom of his heart." But there are so many Japanese in Shanghai now, and Li Daxia's appearance in Shanghai is probably already alarming those Japanese, and it is estimated that it will not be long before these Japanese will come to arrest people!"
He bent down to Li Xiake and said, "Li Daxia, you are a hero, come and go freely." But our small shop is small and profitable, and we have no reliable relationship, and when the time comes, those Japanese people come to us for trouble because you eat here, and we will be miserable!"
He couldn't help bending down to apologize: "I'm really sorry for you, but I can't help it!"
Li Xiake sighed, glanced at this person, and said, "Okay, then I'll use it quickly!"
Chen Minghua was furious, and scolded the shopkeeper: "Li Daxia has killed so many Japanese and done so many happy things, such a heroic man, not only do you not welcome him when you have a meal here, but you also want to drive him away......?"
Li Xiake stopped Chen Minghua, sighed, and said, "Forget it, forget it, it's not easy for people to open a store." He was already very brave enough to let me have a meal here!"
When the shopkeeper heard Li Xiake say this, he was ashamed and excited: "Li Daxia, I'm really sorry! If the villain doesn't have a family, you can eat for free with me for a year, and I am also happy!"
Chen Minghua said angrily: "Coward, coward!"
The shopkeeper looked dumbfounded, bowing his head and not daring to refute.
Li Xiake glanced at the shopkeeper and said with a smile: "Is there any wine?"
The shopkeeper nodded like pounded garlic, and hurriedly said, "There is another one! I'll bring it to you!"
He walked quickly backstage, moved a big wine jar for Li Xiake, and said: "Li Daxia, this is the Yanghe Daqu that our small store has stored for a long time, I have always been reluctant to sell it, today you are here, I will give you this wine for free!"
He took the wine bowl, poured 30,000 wine, picked up a bowl of wine himself, drank it all in one gulp, and said to Li Xiake and Chen Minghua: "Two, I'm really sorry, the villain is here to make amends for the two of you!"
Li Xiake smiled, picked up the wine bowl, and drank it all, and then put down the chopsticks like flying, and said while eating: "Since I went to the East to kill the Japanese emperor, these days, in order to avoid pursuit, I eat less hot food on the road, and most of the time I eat cold food. He who is hungry and full is heartbroken, but his body is sinned. ”
Chen Minghua showed reverence, picked up the wine bowl and said: "Li Daxia, I also salute you! Since hearing about your deeds, I have always longed to see you, and today I can see you as I wished! You are really the same as I imagined, and you are indeed a great hero!"
Li Xiake laughed and said: "I didn't think about being a hero, the main thing is that if I don't kill these people, I won't be happy!"
While the two were talking and laughing, the sound of chaotic footsteps outside the tavern came, and then one of them shouted loudly outside the tavern door: "Li Xiake, you still dare to drink here?
Li Xiake was furious, picked up the spear next to him and was about to go out, "I can't eat even if I eat!"
