I am rich in martial arts, but choose culture to win

Lian Na supported her chin with her hand, staring blankly at the door.

Since she couldn't afford a clock, she couldn't tell the time very accurately.

The dim light in the room is also drowsy.

When the door squeaked again, Lianna woke up with a jolt.

"Xiajiang!"

A joyful expression appeared on Lian Na's pale face, and she quickly stood up to welcome her husband back.

However, when the light came through the door enough for Lianna to see her husband clearly, she couldn't help covering her mouth.

The man in front of him had the braids at the back of his head unraveled, the corner of his left eye brow was cracked, his lips were swollen, and his whole body was covered with bruises and purple spots. It was obvious that he had been beaten.

"Why are you crying?"

Xia Jiang tried his best to look like nothing happened, reached out to wipe his wife's tears, and then took out a few crumpled, blood-stained banknotes from his arms, "Look, this is my salary for today, our travel expenses are just Get it all together!"

Lian Na didn't go to pick up the money, but bit her lip and asked, "Xia, what's going on, who hit you!"

"It's nothing, some slackers can't see that I am diligent, you know, there is only so much work that can be done at the car dealership."

Xia Jiang found a bench and sat down, nonchalantly said, "I'm a big man, I can't rely on you all the time, can I? Speaking of which, is your piano class going well?"

"This one……"

Lian Na originally wanted to say something about resigning, but in the end she didn't say it, "Well, everything is going well. Let's work together, and we will soon be able to save enough for the travel expenses to leave here."

……

Tennessee is a backwater, especially in a small town like Franklin.

A figure like Congressman Cuomo is already the emperor of this small town.

But apart from regularly going to the capital to attend meetings, he actually doesn't know much about the outside world.

In later generations, rednecks in the American countryside are synonymous with anti-intellectuality. They lack education, are indifferent to the world, do not read books or newspapers, and do not even know whether the capital of the United States is New York or Washington.

And now, Franklin Town can't even expect to learn about any major national affairs.

The only newspaper in town, the Franklin Prayer, was basically a newspaper for local gossip, oddities, and religious lore.

But all of this changed a little on this day.

……

"Extraordinary, "Detective Zhuge Watson" and "Sorcerer's Stone Harry Potter" have resumed serialization on "Da Ming Times"!"

"The "Daming Times" adopts the craftsmanship of the Ming Dynasty. It is of high quality and low price, and the quality of the paper is excellent. It is also extremely cost-effective to buy home as wrapping paper!"

"Madam, don't you consider buying a copy of "Da Ming Times?"

A newsboy stopped in front of Lianna.

Chapter 324

Lian Na took the newspaper and pulled it a little harder.

Really strong!

For a penny, that's pretty affordable.

Besides, apart from using it as wrapping paper, Lian Na felt that her husband would like it.

Lian Na and her husband have been living a frugal life ever since they were forced to flee due to the war, lost most of their property, and lost contact with their girlfriends.

Newspapers and books are such a luxury that they are completely out of reach.

But Lian Na knew that her husband actually liked reading very much.

He is an amazing scholar.

At the beginning, I fell in love with him in the far east because I was attracted by his strong scholarly aura.

It's a pity that after coming to the United States, his talent was not recognized, and he could only do the simplest manual labor.

Sighing, Lianna put the newspaper into her small cloth bag, and then walked towards Como Manor.

……

"Mr. Como, where is Miss Helen, she should be learning the second movement of the Piano Concerto No. 26 in D major today."

If you don't count the soulless black female maids who are cleaning the house, Lianna finds that the manor today is a bit too quiet.

Lena felt very uncomfortable being alone with Senator Cuomo in such an environment.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you yesterday, my wife will take Helen to attend a lecture given by the female Durban at the church today." Cuomo raised his eyebrows.

Such things as female Durban are not the patent of the so-called masters of Chinese studies in later generations of China.

In fact, in the West, relying on church organizations, there are a large number of domestic classes, female Dur classes.

The purpose of Western women in this era is to marry and have children. Parents will spend a lot of money to send their daughters to these female Durban classes to learn how to be a virtuous and virtuous wife.

Whether Helen will be a good wife in the future is still unknown, but her father is definitely not a good husband.

Looking at Councilman Cuomo, who was looking at her unscrupulously, Lian Na said vigilantly, "Since this is the case, Mr. Cuomo, I will go back today."

"Haha, Miss Lianna, you don't have to be like this, you are here, let's have a drink!" Cuomo laughed.

"No need, I'm not some kind of lady, my husband is waiting for me at home!" Lianna was about to leave after saying that.

"Bichi, do you really not understand what I mean?"

Cuomo grabbed Lianna's wrist and said fiercely, "Your husband is that Chinese man, right? It's so funny, you, an upper-class woman who can play Mozart's piano music, would marry that kind of man!"

Cuomo threw Lianna on the sofa viciously, and stretched out his hand to untie his tie, "Look at you, such a beautiful body is wearing such inferior clothes, that Chinese ruined you! But it doesn't matter, I won't dislike you because of this, on the contrary, I think you will become more delicious!"

"Don't come here, this is a crime, this is an assault!" Lian Na frantically threw the pillows on the sofa at him, but it didn't work at all.

"Crime? How can you, a woman who betrayed God, have the right to say that I committed a crime? From the moment you married a Chinese man, you were expelled from God. I slept with you. It is an honor to respect you! "

Cuomo threw away all his ties and shirts, revealing his ugly body covered in chest hair.

He put his hands forward, showed a cruel smile, and rushed forward.

"Go away, filthy thing, you deserve to go to hell with your god!"

In extreme panic, Lianna grabbed the newspaper that fell out of the cloth bag by accident.

She poked the rolled newspaper forward so hard that it caught Cuomo in the eye.

"Fuck! Damn it!"

Newspapers are certainly not enough to blind him, but they are enough to cause temporary loss of vision.

At this time, the blood of the officer's father in Lian Na played a role.

Seizing this brief moment, she picked up the desk lamp on the side cabinet and slammed it hard on the back of Cuomo's head.

Then, she ran away amidst the screams of the black slave maid.

……

station.

Xia Jiang felt that his arms and back were completely paralyzed.

Somehow, the number of carriages coming from the west has doubled today.

These carriages are loaded with various goods, some need to be unloaded, and some need to be packed and transported to the next destination.

This made Xia Jiang busy all morning.

But although he was busy, he also avoided the situation where he was beaten by white people.

After all, there is so much work that cannot be finished. For those white people, instead of beating up the yellow-skinned monkey and driving him away, it is better to wait for him to finish the work and threaten him to hand over 2/3 of the wages. .

Xia Jiang hadn't thought that these "simple" workers would be so bad. He kept going back and forth with loads equal to his own weight.

On the contrary, the black slaves at the station can only carry about [-] kilograms of things to work, and they don't need to carry them on their shoulders at all, but are only willing to use their hands, even if the supervisor's whip falls, they will not take a little more.

The white workers are better, they can lift sixty or seventy catties.

In fact, Xia Jiang's strength is not stronger than these white people if he simply competes in carrying.

But if you compare loads and resist things, the advantages of the yellow race will be reflected.

In addition, he can bear hardships, so one person can do the work of two people.

Xia Jiang unloaded the heavy snakeskin bag and got the wages that had been deducted from the foreman.

At this moment, the sound of horseshoes came from a distance.

"Xiajiang!"

He raised his head and saw a woman in commoner clothes galloping towards him on horseback in the distance.

Xia Jiang rubbed his eyes, this is indeed his wife.

"It's too late to explain, come up!"

"it is good!"

The experience of going into exile several times during the war has made the husband and wife a very tacit understanding.

Just as Xia Jiang was about to leave, the white workers from yesterday surrounded him.

"Go away!"

Xia Jiang suddenly punched one of the white men in the eye socket.

Southern fist and northern leg, the Fujian army may not have many records in battle, but the Fujianese have always been good at practicing martial arts and fighting.

What's more, Xia Jiang is a fellow of Lin Zexu, so of course he will kick you to death.

Although there is no such exaggerated boxing technique as the big spy in the movie, these white men in front of them are not 200-jin British strongmen, but just white ruffians who are also skinny.

Three punches and two kicks knocked them over, and Lian Na's horse also arrived.

She actually preferred riding horses, which was her father's forte, to playing the piano.

At this time, there was another sound of horseshoes in the distance. It was the town's security team.

Seeing that Xia Jiang and Lian Na were about to escape, suddenly there was a bang, and the horse under his crotch hissed and fell down.

Congressman Cuomo had a cloth strip wrapped around his head, and the rifle in his hand was emitting white smoke.

"Haha, this is God's punishment!"

He himself didn't expect that he could hit the horse with one shot at such a distance!

"Your Excellency the Sheriff, I think this woman is engaged in an indecent occupation in our town and steals horses. The Chinese has also committed evil deeds and all deserve the most severe punishment!"

The Condor Heroes only exist in novels after all, showing the plane, and it is impossible for a young couple who can show their fists and legs to escape under the gang of established gangs.

The two were tied up and put into the prison in the town.

Along the way, many townspeople came to watch, laughing and pointing at Xia Jiang's Chinese face and Lian Na who married Xia Jiang.

Many people even shouted: "Burn women who do not obey women's morals! Burn barbaric Chinese!"

Among the fanatical crowd, a little boy secretly disappeared into the crowd.

If Lian Na saw him, she would definitely recognize him. This kid was the newsboy who sold her the "Da Ming Times" in the morning.

The newsboy returned to a shack and took off his clothes, revealing a tattoo of a white retriever on his chest.

Next, he carefully removed a radio transmitter from under the bed.

Chapter 325 Mississippi Bank

Memphis, the largest city in Tennessee, is a river port on the east bank of the Mississippi River, an important transportation hub and transportation center, and the future headquarters of FedEx.

According to the "Ming-U.S. Joint Proclamation" and other agreements, Ming and the Confederate States were bounded by the Mississippi River and did not invade each other.

In other words, Memphis is a city located on the border of Mingmei, where the Mingmei Railway stops.

The Mississippi River is the largest river in North America, with a drainage area larger than the Yangtze River + Yellow River, and both are high-quality shipping waterways.

Three months after Lincoln sold off his shipping stocks, Daming's strategy shrank, and Mississippi Shipping's stocks soared, so he almost didn't die on the spot.

As a senior mentally disabled patient who lost his frontal lobe, stock trading is Comrade Lincoln's only joy in life at present.
