Chapter 26 Sixteen Shops Meet the Chivalrous Monk

"Sixteen Pu Pier" is one of the most lively places in Shanghai. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoAlthough the sky has gradually darkened, there are still many freighters moored on the side of the wharf, and at a glance, there are many people surging, passengers come and go frequently, and the porters on the wharf who are bare-armed, carrying goods on and off the ship are even more busy. "Go down, go down, and if you don't get this monk off the boat, I will make it impossible for you to work here. At that moment, a very influent Chinese came from a small ferry boat at the pier, speaking from an English missionary. Old Shanghai was a place of great nations and a gathering place for foreign powers in China, and at that time, foreigners had always been rampant on Chinese soil, and this British missionary was no exception.

"The master is also a human being, how can I drive the monks away. The boatman shook his head and retorted.

It turned out that while the ferry was waiting for passengers on the shore, a Chinese monk stepped onto the boat, and just as the boat was about to leave, the British missionary then jumped onto the boat. When he got on the boat, he saw the Chinese monk on the ferry, regarded him as a layman, rebuked him in a strong tone, and forced the boatmen to drive the Chinese monk off the boat. At this time, when he saw that the low-ranking boatman did not listen to him, he was furious, and he raised his fist and struck the boatman in the face. At the moment when the fist of the British missionary was about to hit the boatman, a thick arm blocked the front of the boatman, and with a "snap", the fist of the British missionary hit the arm impartially. "Don't deceive people too much! Since the matter started because of me, then why should you involve others, and if you want to beat me, you will come at me. When the Chinese monk saw the British missionary's unreasonable and arrogant appearance, he could not help but feel angry in his heart, and stepped forward to block his punch at the boatman. When the British missionary's fist struck the Chinese monk on the arm, the four fingers of the fist could not help but ache, and when he heard that the monk was provoking himself in front of everyone, he kicked the Chinese monk without saying anything, and he kept insulting him loudly.

At this time, Chen Yaoyang, who was walking on the edge of the pier, happened to witness what was happening on the ferry, and when he saw the Chinese monk's steady pace and quick movements, he knew that he was also a person who had practiced martial arts. The Chinese monk took a step back, easily avoided the kick of the British missionary, and then waved his sleeve slightly, and a strong gust of wind swept towards the British missionary, and with a "whistling", the British missionary fell to the ground. The British missionary was unwilling, with a fierce face, his hands clenched into fists, and he imitated the example of a Western boxer, and put on a boxing posture, first punching the Chinese monk in the face, but the result was naturally in vain. Just as he was about to throw a third punch, the Chinese monk's right foot stretched forward, gently tripped the British missionary a few steps, leaned forward, and fell to the edge of the ferry. At the moment when his face was about to approach the surface of the Huangpu River, the Chinese monk hurriedly stepped forward, reached out and grabbed the British missionary's right ankle, and forcibly pulled him to prevent him from falling into the Huangpu River to feed the fish.

The British missionary was already frightened and trembling when the Chinese monk held it upside down. He hurriedly whispered to the Chinese monk and begged for mercy: "Please don't let go, please don't let go." ā€

The Chinese monk loudly reprimanded: "Saving a life is better than building a seven-level floating slaughter, and the little monk has eaten fasting and recited Buddha for many years, so naturally he will not see death and not save it." It's just ......" At this point, he turned his head to look at the passengers on the ferry and continued: "It's just that you are so ruthless and unreasonable, I'm afraid everyone present will not let you go." ā€

"This kind of person must not be let go. ā€

"Yes, throw this foreign devil into the river to feed the fish. ā€

"Look if he dares to bully us Chinese!"

When the British missionaries saw the passengers on the ferry babbling and accusing, they were so frightened that they broke out in a cold sweat and said: "I don't dare in the future, please have a lot of them, just spare me this time!"

"Amitabha," the Chinese monk recited the Buddha's name, and then with a light lift in his hand, he pulled the British missionary to the deck of the ferry. The English missionary wiped the sweat from his head with his sleeve, then stood up, bowed to the passengers and the boatmen with his right hand on his chest, and thanked the Chinese monk, leaving the ferry with shame and heading to shore. All of a sudden, there was a round of applause and applause on the ferry.

Chen Yaoyang saw that this monk was not only extraordinary in martial arts, but also noble in character, and wanted to catch the ferry to make friends with him. Unfortunately, when he arrived at the shore, the ferry had already left the dock and was slowly heading towards the Huangpu River.

Chen Yaoyang had no choice but to go all the way west to Xiaodongmen, which was a different prosperous scene. The shops and inns along the street are lined up, bustling from morning to night. After a short walk to the south, the streets were filled with gambling tables, swallow's nests, and brothels that also sold opium. There are more than 100 houses in the Xiaodongmen area alone, and in this dense downtown area, hooligans, scoundrels, thieves, pickpockets, and liars are even more elusive and ubiquitous. Chen Yaoyang followed the crowd all the way, following the flow, strolling around and looking, and he couldn't remember how long he had walked, when suddenly, a whole row of fruit shops in front of him caught his attention. He remembered the film "Shanghai Beach Tycoon" he watched in the 21st century, and Du Yuesheng seemed to have started in "Baoda Fruit Shop" when he first arrived in Shanghai. So, he looked at the signboards of these shops, what "Jardine Fruit Shop", "Xingwang Fruit Shop", "Business Long Fruit Shop", Chen Yaoyang was dazzled, but he couldn't find the "Baoda Fruit Shop"!

Chen Yaoyang saw that it was getting late, so he had no choice but to ask a passer-by, and then he realized that the "Baoda Fruit Shop" had to go another 100 meters to see it. Chen Yaoyang had no choice but to endure and continue to move forward, and sure enough, a Ruoda signboard with "Baoda Fruit Shop" written on it was eye-catching in Chen Yaoyang's eyes. The store of "Baoda Fruit Store" is not too big, it is two bays, but it is famous in the "Sixteen Shop Wharf". This may be because the owner of the fruit shop knows more about business, specializing in wholesale fruits as the way of business, and the geographical location is just near the "Shiliupu Wharf", the cargo ship transporting fruits and vegetables happens to become the mobile warehouse of the fruit shop owner, and then his own fruit is stored and sold to fruit stalls or hawkers all over Shanghai, making profits in the form of small profits and quick turnover.

Chen Yaoyang was about to step on the trail "Baoda Fruit Store" to ask about Du Yuesheng's whereabouts, when a scolding came from the dock more than ten meters away in front of him: "Stop, see where you run." Chen Yaoyang hurriedly looked towards the source of the sound, and saw a middle-aged man in white, surrounded by a group of black-clothed people, walking towards him menacingly. I saw that these black-clothed people were holding sharp weapons in their hands, it seemed that the people who came were not good, and the good ones did not come!
