I want to be a good person

Chapter 149: Resting Story

The inn is of medium size, about 50 meters from east to west and about 30 meters from north to south.

After entering the yard, they parked the carriage, used a triangular wooden pole to support the shaft, untied the saddle and bridle and let the horse go. The Mongolian horse immediately rolled happily on the ground, neighing in the dust.

Under the barn, he tied the horse to the ring, put some salt in the water for the horse to drink, and asked the servant to fill the stone trough with hay.

"Sir, is it a dormitory or a small room?"

"A small single room. I am a light sleeper and can be easily woken up by snoring, grinding teeth, and talking in sleep."

"Then you come with me."

"Sir, do you need any bedding?"

“I brought my own.”

When I entered the room, I saw a bed, a small wooden table, and a wooden clothes hanger, but there was no space for anything else.

There was a reed mat on the bed, and other than that there was a small window.

"Can I take a bath?"

"Sure, we have hot water, which is included in the room rate."

"it is good."

"What kind of food is there?"

"Simple food, but what?"

The guy looked at the sky and continued.

"Some villagers will come to sell their own food later, such as cooked meat, eggs, cakes, etc. We also have them on the counter. You can choose them yourself."

Zhang Aiguo went out, stood at the wellhead in the middle of the yard, and lit his pipe.

The mouth of the well was smooth, and the green stone could not wear down the rope. A worker was drawing water with a windlass. The windlass spun rapidly as it was lowered, and then squeaked as it hoisted the water up.

Looking down, the well was very deep, about ten meters, and it was bright and cold.

The well water is warm in winter and cool in summer. The magic of nature cannot be explained.

In the summer, I like to pull up watermelons from the well and chill them. If you use well water to wash your body directly, you will get sick in your old age and there is no way to cure it.

The theory of traditional Chinese medicine is unparalleled and is a treasure left by our ancestors. It can cure many diseases that cannot be diagnosed or explained by Western medicine.

As the old saying goes, diseases that occur during the confinement period should be cured during the confinement period.

The dining tent soon became lively.

There were young girls carrying baskets or carrying baskets selling tobacco, alcohol, and dry goods, some selling cooked meat, and some selling cooked eggs, and there were also a few who obviously had their doors half-closed and came in to tease the men.

An old lady with bound feet was carrying a small basket, selling melon seeds.

There was also a girl dressed like a decent woman, probably looking for a lover. As soon as she came in, she went straight to the man, who had a big smile on his face.

It is necessary to have a good meal, and your whole body should be happy.

There were carriages and horses, and individual travelers, people from all walks of life coming and going, talking nonsense.

"You know what? Something big happened in Shanghai a few days ago."

"What's the big deal?"

"Someone died."

“No one died on the Shanghai Beach that day.”

"This time it's different, the dead are Japanese"

When Zhang Aiguo heard the news, he walked over to the old lady, eating some spiced melon seeds that he had bought from her.

"So the Japanese are still human beings?"

After hearing what Zhang Aiguo said, the man who was about to show off was stunned.

"Brother, you are from the north, no wonder."

He shook his head and continued.

"More than a dozen Japanese soldiers died, and many were injured. Some said it was done by the Red Army, some said it was done by agents of the National Government, and some said it was done by a hero. There were many different opinions, but no one admitted it."

"Why don't you admit it?"

"I'm afraid of the Japanese revenge."

"Yes, yes."

"The Japanese soldiers are not tall, but they are well-armed. We can't defeat them."

"Even if we cannot win, we must fight. We will never become slaves of a conquered nation."

"If you have ambition, you should first take care of your baby."

An older man grabbed the newborn boy's ear.

"Dad, Dad, let go, it hurts."

"You still feel pain. I raised you for nothing and counted on you to take care of me in my old age."

After the little episode, the men and the young girls and wives continued to urge them to continue.

......

The description of the story is very interesting, and it knows more than Zhang Aiguo himself.

Fresh river fish is made into a luxurious seafood feast.

I learned from the man that the incident caused a huge stir and had serious consequences, which led to the French Concession and the International Settlement strengthening the control over the entry and exit of people.

The Japanese shouted fiercely and mobilized their soldiers to watch the situation, which put great political and military pressure on the National Government. They also took the opportunity to increase their control over Hongkou. The Special High Police became active and arrested many people.

Isn't it that the loud thunder but little rain shows that the Japs have big plans?

The Japanese are not yet prepared for a military invasion and are still encroaching on our territory from the north, while there are also many conflicts in the country.

However, the consequences of the incident were fermenting, inspiring the belief in revenge and motivating the passionate people. It was heard that the Japanese had complained to the League of Nations, condemning the Kuomintang government for shooting unarmed innocent civilians.

Zhang Aiguo found it ridiculous and familiar. You were not a member of the League of Nations, nor a signatory country, but you used it as a basis. Didn't you ever think about what you were doing when you wantonly killed Chinese people on Chinese land?

The bigger the fist, the more final.

There is still some noise, which simply accuses the murderer of disregarding life and killing innocent people.

An alternative public intellectual and master!

After the story was told, the crowd dispersed, and there were all kinds of people, including those who dressed and worked in all walks of life.

Among the individual tourists were wandering martial artists performing boxing, acrobatics, and ointment salesmen; there were also craftsmen who went from village to village, mending pots and pans, sharpening scissors and spatulas, butchering pigs and cutting eggs, etc. There were also bandits' spies and secret agents mixed in.

There are also those who sleep on a large bunk bed with their wives. It is not easy to make a living when they are away from home.

There is a blacksmith shop opposite the inn. Even when it gets dark, the shop is still banging away, and business is good.

Zhang Aiguo walked in. The blacksmith had beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down his back and his muscles bulging.

"Sir, what can I do for you?"

"Let me see."

The finished farm tools and household tools were laid out in a row, some hanging on the wall.

"Here, use the good iron and make me a strong and thick one."

The blacksmith took a look and saw it was a three-pronged dung fork.

"What do you use it for?"

"For picking grass, use good iron and a good wooden handle."

"Okay, come get it in two days."

"Can you finish the work tonight? I live in Chenji across the street and will leave as soon as the sun rises tomorrow."

"this."

"You have to pay more."

"Row."

"Sir, this is not a very useful weapon. Nowadays, robbers use guns."

"Wisdom Eyes. Just be on guard."

"When you are out and about, be patient and keep things calm, avoid arguments, and make do with what you have."

"Thank you."

In response to the blacksmith's kindness, Zhang Aiguo smiled and thanked him solemnly.

Chinese people are tolerant at first, and only rise up to resist at the last minute. Oppression is like a spring, and it will eventually rebound.

After going out and looking back, I saw that the business culture atmosphere in Jiangsu and Zhejiang has been strong from ancient times to the present.

People's hearts will change. If we underestimate their greed, the so-called slogans will become a joke over time. Time has given us limitations. The reason why great men are great is that they have seen through the depths of history.

"Give me a pack of cigarettes."

"What kind of cigarettes do you need?"

"Big baby's."

"Do you want the old knife from Xin Gaole?"

"No big babies?"

"There are Three Cats cigarettes."

"Then three cats."

Zhang Aiguo glanced at the girl selling cigarettes.

Well, with delicate features and beautiful eyes, beauties from Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas have unique temperaments.

Shin-Koraku is the homonym of the English word “cigarette” and generally refers to imported foreign cigarettes. “Jubon-iri” comes from Japanese and means ten cigarettes in a box.

The boxes in the Republic of China all contain ten sticks.

When giving the money, my fingers accidentally touched the little hand.

The guy had sharp eyes and saw this scene.

After the bath, the guy knocked on the door.

Zhang Aiguo opened the door.

"what's up?"
