The heavens began with Huo Yuanjia

Chapter 13 The Great Wall Never Falls

The old beggar's thinking had obviously become confused in the end, and his words began to seem inconsistent.

But at this time, neither Li Yong, Huo Yuanjia, nor Laifu made any noise to interrupt him.

Li Yong never thought that this seemingly ordinary beggar would have such a past.

Is it brilliant?
Certainly not, but heroic enough.

Is it shameful?

It is not them who are shameful, not ordinary soldiers who sacrificed their lives, bodies and lives for the country.

It was the retreating, conservative, stubborn and ignorant Qing government, the Empress Dowager Cixi and Li Hongzhang.

When Li Yong was studying in his previous life, he liked reading history books very much, but there was only one piece of history that he had to force himself to read, and that was this modern history of humiliation.

From 1840-1946, as long as a hundred years!
This East Asian lion has been sleeping for a hundred years.

In contrast, Huo Yuanjia's more than one year of sinking and the old beggar's nine years of obscurity are just a small portrayal of this century of humiliation.

"Nine years...nine years..." The old beggar was still chanting this sentence until he took his last breath.

The atmosphere in the hall became audible following the old beggar's final silence.

After a long time, Li Yong just woke up like a dream, looked at Huo Yuanjia, then at Laifu, then at the old beggar on the chair, and then forced a smile: "Master, Uncle Laifu, we have to bury him Bar?"

Huo Yuanjia also gradually came to his senses, because he had also experienced life and death, so he cherished life even more, and regretted the lost life even more.

He was not as quick as Li Yong, but at this moment he looked up at the sky, sighed and said, "It's getting late, or, tomorrow..."

Uncle Laifu also reacted and immediately said, "I'll get the straw mat and white cloth over and cover him."

Li Yong looked at the old beggar, and suddenly said: "Give him a bath first!"

Both Huo Yuanjia and Laifu were stunned for a moment, and then they heard Li Yong say: "After all, he came here clean, let him go clean too..."

Huo Yuanjia and Laifu naturally nodded, and then the three of them tossed about.

First take off the old beggar's clothes, wash him in this yard, pour the old dirt mixed with sewage into the ditch, and then Huo Yuanjia brought him a piece of his own clothes put on.

Although it was a little smaller, Li Yong didn't have enough clothes himself, so it was impossible to use his. Lai Fu and the beggar were too short in stature, so he had to come out with Huo Yuanjia's old clothes.

After finishing all this, the three of them spread out the straw mat, put the old beggar's body that had changed clothes on it, and covered it with a white cloth. They spent the night first and then went to bury it tomorrow.

It's just that this night, Li Yong and Huo Yuanjia tossed and turned, and fell asleep with difficulty.

Early the next morning, even if they didn't sleep well, they had to cheer up and get busy immediately.

Laifu went to contact the coffin shop, Huo Yuanjia contacted the cemetery, while Li Yong was guarding the house.

Then everything was ready and without doing anything, the old beggar's body was sealed in a coffin, and then the neighbors were asked to help carry it to the cemetery, dig a hole into the soil, and finally bury it.

There is only a thin coffin and a piece of loess covering this nameless passer-by.

The last thing standing on the tomb is a stele without words, and there is only a short line of words on it, "1894, Beiyang Navy".

It seems that it is not just this person who is buried here, but the fleet that once gave birth to the hope of China, those people with lofty ideals who threw their lives and blood to defend the country.

After the old beggar was successfully buried, Huo Yuanjia went to the grave of his parents and daughter again, and Li Yong naturally followed him.

Huo Yuanjia's complexion has not been very good-looking all the time, looking at his daughter at this time, he smiled a little when he thought of some past events.

At this moment, Li Yong said suddenly: "Master, what do you think after what you have seen and heard in the past few days?"

For several days, they were either visiting their old friends or on their way to visit their old friends.

Of course, we encountered many things along the way.

In fact, it was nothing more than those things. The old beggar's incident was just one of them, although it was also the one that touched people's hearts the most.

His story, not just his story, is the story of an era.

An era that has passed!

A dynasty doomed to fall!
But the stories of other people are currently happening, or are about to happen and will continue to happen everywhere in the land of China.

These things naturally stimulated Huo Yuanjia's nerves, just like he knew that the two foreigners yesterday were murderers, but he couldn't find them to ask for an explanation.

It's frustrating, but that's the reality.

Seeing Huo Yuanjia's silence, Li Yong knew that he had listened.

Moreover, what he has seen and experienced in the past few days is actually enough to stimulate him, so he continued: "Master, have you never thought about opening a martial arts gym again?"

"Open the martial arts gym again?"

"That's right, now in Jinmen, Wufeng is getting depressed day by day, because China is oppressed by foreign enemies, and even the spine has been knocked off. Everyone is kneeling, because they can't win, and because they don't dare to fight. Master should teach them how to fight. Only then can we hold our heads high and face foreign enemies.

"It's like when the old beggar was beaten up by those two foreigners, if there were a few more people with martial arts skills, martial arts and chivalry, they would naturally stand up and avoid the beating. The old beggar did not would be beaten to death, and a lot of people would probably never be bullied again."

Of course, this is the ideal state.

It's just that if you don't even have this ideal, how can you create a better future?

Huo Yuanjia shook his head: "Even the imperial court can't resist those foreigners. I'm a warrior, what can I do?"

"Master, if you don't try it, how do you know it won't work?"

These words made Huo Yuanjia stunned. Over the years, although his mind has become more and more stable, he has indeed lost the aggressiveness he had when he was young.

In fact, it is not a bad thing to have the courage to break through, as long as you are not reckless and brainless, you can restrain yourself.

"go on!"

Li Yong felt that there seemed to be two more fires in his eyes, and thought that he had really ignited the fire in advance, so he immediately cheered up: "Master, it is difficult to explain this matter clearly in a few words, and what we said at the beginning, Definitely not too big.

"It's just that you must set a big goal. If you can use martial arts to motivate the people of the country, so that everyone can strengthen their bodies and protect their families, wouldn't this be a great thing that benefits the country and the people?"

To be honest, even though he knew this was in the movie world, when Li Yong saw those things happening, he felt inexplicable anger in his heart.

Because he knows that these people are fake, but everything is true.

In history, the Chinese were bullied again and again by foreign enemies like this, in the abyss, slowly climbed up, and then the king returned!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help singing a song.

The so-called happiness comes, singing loudly:
"Sleeping for a hundred years

Chinese people are gradually awake

open your eyes
watch carefully
Who is willing to admit himself

Because of cringe and forbearance

People's arrogance is rising
speak up

Shout loudly
This is the whole country

Robbers have always invaded

In the end
The Great Wall will never fall

Thousands of miles of the Yellow River surging

Beautiful rivers and mountains, colorful peaks and mountains

Asked my country what is like a disease
break the blood

Wave your hand
To be committed to the rejuvenation of the country

Don't let the land be trampled on again
Take on the mission
The Great Wall will never fall

Thousands of miles of the Yellow River surging

Beautiful rivers and mountains, colorful peaks and mountains

Asked my country what is like a disease
break the blood

Wave your hand
To be committed to the rejuvenation of the country

Don't let the land be trampled on again
The sleeping lion is waking up! "

"Good singing!"
