Myth: Heaven and Earth

Chapter 128 Going to Shanghai Again

How about the women who came out of the brothel with more eyes? That night, Hongyu wanted to climb onto Lu Heng's couch.

Just as Lu Heng was about to turn off the lights and rest, Yuhong came in with a bowl of lotus seed soup.

"The lotus seeds and white fungus that I just bought before dark, stewed by my own hands. Master, you can try it."

Tsk, the word "slave" is unbearable.

Seeing Yuhong rolling her eyes and blushing, Lu Heng couldn't know what she wanted to do at this time?
But he said, "Let it go."

Then said: "Go to rest."

He also said: "In the future, I will let you come, so you can come; if I don't let you come, if you make up your own mind, you will be kicked out."

Hongyu was taken aback, and her face instantly turned pale.He hurriedly put down the lotus seed soup, bowed his head and saluted, and left in panic.

Get her out.

Or say that Lu Heng is not close to beauty, that is impossible.

The appearance of this red jade is by no means inferior to that of Jiu'er and Ruomei; especially its style, which is so familiar that it is very irritating.

If you change someone else, how can you care about others?Hug on the couch first and then talk.

Lu Heng is not someone whose lower body dominates his upper body.If one came out and the other came in, it didn't mean anything to Gong Lan and the others.

Second, this Yu Hong's mind is too complicated, it's only the first day, and she came to this move, she is not honest.No matter how kind you are to such a woman, you can't give her too much sunshine, otherwise it will be brilliant, and there will be a lot of bullshit.

I really surrendered and understood the transparency, and it will not be too late to come again.

Thirdly, Lu Heng is not in the mood tonight.

The next day, Lu Heng called Yuhong and Yazi over as if nothing had happened, and confessed: "I'm going to Shanghai for a while, and I won't be coming back here in a short time. You take care of this garden, don't slack off .”

He also said: "If I am not here, every other month, I will go to the Taoist temple on the mountain to send some daily necessities."

After explaining, Lu Heng shook his hands and left Suzhou.

The reason for going to Shanghai this time is not for anything else, but for one thing, and that is books.

When Lu Heng was learning how to practice qi with his master, he came up with this plan in his heart-to get some books, especially books about medicine and mechanical manufacturing in physics.

I am afraid that only Shanghai can do so.

Especially for books on physics, it is only possible for them to come from the West at present.It is only possible to find it in a place where things meet like Shanghai.

When he arrived in Shanghai, Lu Heng's eyes darkened.

There is really no specific goal - just looking for books, where can I find them?

Then a rickshaw came over: "Master, do you want to take a car?"

Lu Heng saw that he was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, wearing a gown with the word Xieji on it.

Lu Heng thought for a while, but now he was at a loss, let's go first.I can't just go back home now for nothing.

So he got into the car, and the boy pulling the car asked, "Where is the uncle going? Are you looking for a place to eat or a place to rest?"

Lu Heng said: "Go to the telegraph office first."

Last time I said goodbye to Ma San, although I had told Ma San to send a telegram, but Lu Heng didn't forget this time, so it doesn't matter to call one more time.

When they arrived at the telegraph office, Lu Heng went in, telegraphed to the capital, and then came out to get back in the rickshaw.

The boy asked again: "Where is the uncle going next?"

Lu Heng had nowhere to go.Looking for a book, I don't know where to find it, neither Ma San nor Lin Heier.He had no choice but to say, "Let's go first."

The boy didn't ask any more questions: "Then you sit still!"

The boy pulling the cart was talkative, and he started talking to Lu Heng after a while: "I see you are from another place, right? Big Shanghai is a good place."

Lu Heng chatted a few words with him, and suddenly said: "You are not very old, and you don't look like a local. How long have you been in Shanghai?"

The boy said, "It's been half a year."

Lu Heng nodded: "The job of pulling a rickshaw is not easy."

The young man smiled and said, "Who says it's not. But there is an advantage to being tired. That is, there is nothing I don't know about this big Shanghai, so I can increase my knowledge."

Lu Heng was surprised: "You look at the problem in a different direction."

Suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said, "Then let me ask you, is there any special collection of books in Shanghai? The kind with lots and lots of books? A library?"

The young man laughed: "Then you are asking the right person. Yes, why not! There is a library in Xujiahui."

Lu Heng's heart suddenly brightened.

Straight: "Then go to the Xujiahui Library!"

The young man asked curiously, "Why are you going there? The Xujiahui Library belongs to the Society of Jesus, and it's the site of foreigners. You can't get in easily."

Lu Heng said: "You have to go there to know whether you can enter or not."

The boy stopped talking and just pulled the cart.

After a while, Lu Heng suddenly asked him: "I think you are indeed different from other cart pullers. What's your name?"

The young man took a breath: "My surname is Gu, and my name is Rumao. What is your surname Gao?"

Lu Heng said: "If you're tired, take it easy, I'm not in a hurry."

Said: "My name is Lu Heng, um, Lu Qianjun."

Hearing this, the young man ran a little slower, and said, "Your name is really impressive! Qianjun!"

Lu Heng laughed.

Said: "You come out to pull carts at such an age, why don't you find a place to learn some skills."

Gu Rumao said: "It's not that I don't want to learn skills, because I have no money. Uncle Lu, we come from a poor family. If we want to learn something, we have to fill our stomachs first."

That's good.

Even eating is a problem, so what to learn!
He said: "I have my eye on a place, but I have to save enough money first. Do you know Nanyang Public School?"

Lu Heng said, "I don't know."

Gu Rumao said: "I know, I have inquired clearly. Nanyang Public School was originally run by the imperial court. Sheng Xuanhuai, do you know? He was the one who ran it."

Sheng Xuanhuai?

It sounds familiar.

Lu Heng nodded uncertainly: "Then what does Nanyang Public School teach?"

Gu Rumao said: "Teach everything. He also teaches foreign language."

"It's a new school." Lu Heng said.

"Isn't it?" Gu Rumao said, "If it wasn't a new-style school, I wouldn't look down on it. If I want to learn, I have to learn something new. Otherwise, I can just find a private school, why should I come to Shanghai."

He added: "We are repeatedly bullied by foreigners because we lack new things. I just want to see how good foreigners are."

Lu Heng was amazed.

Gu Rumao was the first boy Lu Heng met in this era to have such a novel idea.

For a while, Lu Heng couldn't help but love talents.

He pondered for a while, and said: "I think you are self-motivated, and it is fate to meet you today. How much does it cost you to go to Nanyang Public School? I will subsidize you."

The rickshaw stopped immediately.

"You funded me?!" Gu Rumao was both surprised and delighted: "But why? Is it because of these few words?"

Lu Heng smiled and said, "Let's go."

Said: "Don't you want to know what is better about foreigners than us? I also want to know. You can go to Nanyang Public School for me to learn and see where foreigners are better than us."

Gu Rumao was silent.

At this time, on the street in front, a large group of messy people roared past.

Gu Rumao hurriedly pulled the car aside to hide.

Lu Heng looked at it and asked, "Who are these people?"

Gu Rumao said: "The local ruffian may be a member of the Green Gang. We ordinary people can't afford to mess with them."

Moving on, he didn't speak any more.When they arrived at Xujiahui, Gu Rumao stopped sweating profusely, pointed to a house in front of him and said, "You see, there are two foreigners guarding the door, that's right there, Xujiahui Library."

Lu Heng got off the rickshaw, looked up, nodded after a while, took out a bank note from his arms, and stuffed it into Gu Rumao's hand.Speechless, he went straight to the library.

Gu Rumao looked at the words 100 taels on the bank note, his eyes turned red, he gritted his teeth, and bowed to Lu Heng's back.
