Myth: Heaven and Earth

Chapter 133 Goodbye Lin Heier

Lu Ding sighed and said: "This time the Eight-Nation Allied Forces invaded, the momentum is huge. But most people just watched with cold eyes, don't look at the excitement reported in the newspapers, in fact, people hardly pay attention. Neither the Boxers nor the imperial court. It's like the imperial court It's like it's gone"

He said: "The number of breaths is exhausted."

He was worried: "After all, the imperial court is an imperial court. If it really can't resist, what should we do if foreigners invade and destroy the country and species?"

Lu Heng said with a smile: "Brother Xian's worry, I can understand. But Brother Xian is probably wrong about one thing - there are people who are numb, and there are people with ambitions - Brother Xian, isn't he worried? I think, Once the Qing court signs a traitorous treaty again, people will finally wake up from their dreams. More and more people will wake up their minds."

The two sat and chatted for most of the night, talking about the Boxers, the Eight-Power Allied Forces, awakening, and numbness; sometimes they were worried, and sometimes they were full of hope.

From the middle of the night to the fifth watch, the sex talk decreased a little, and Lu Ding's wife yelled a few more times before Lu Ding went to rest.

Early the next morning, Lu Heng left the Lu mansion and headed for the place where Lin Hei'er stayed.

The place where Lin Heier stayed was in a civilian alley near the French Concession.When Lu Heng arrived, Lin Hei'er's sister was already waiting for him, leading him into the narrow alleyway and wandering around to a half-abandoned temple.

Here, Lu Heng met Lin Heier.

"Mr. Lu!"

Lin Heier was very happy.

Lu Heng smiled and said, "I don't see you for more than a month. How was the time? Do you have any special insights?"

sit down.

Lin Heier said: "It's okay. I have some insights, but I can't explain it clearly. Shanghai is too chaotic, the crowd is chaotic, and the thoughts are also chaotic, giving people a sense of chaos."

She said she had found a temporary purpose.

The first thing to do is to settle down completely.The power under her hands has expanded again. When she first came, there were only a few sisters, and now there are hundreds of people!
She said: "Many sisters are living in difficulties. I plan to start a business first so that everyone can have food. I have a rough plan, but I haven't found a specific way to start it."

Lu Heng smiled and said, "What do you think?"

She said: "We women are not stronger than men, but we have a pair of skillful hands. I want to set up a textile factory to accommodate many sisters. There is some money, but the door is hard to find."

Lu Heng thought for a while and said, "Well, let me introduce you to two routes. One is the Lu mansion last night. My good brother Lu Ding's family is rich and rich, and there must be connections; the other is the Baishan Hall in Suzhou, which is The Jinling Bai family's industry, the Jinling Bai family is a textile giant, if it can go through, it is also a good way."

Like the boxers or the red light, this kind of thing can start a fire like wildfire, because the world is too difficult.

It was not without reason that Lin Heier came to Shanghai for less than two months, and before taking over the latent sisters in Tianjin, a few of them developed into a group of hundreds of people.

Although Shanghai is prosperous, this prosperity has nothing to do with ordinary people.

In this place, foreigners, the government, gangs, wealthy businessmen, and big families are oppressing one another, and the common people are also in dire straits.Although I earn a lot in Shanghai, those who are squeezed are also very hard.

In Lin Hei'er's current group, too, most of them are women who have been forced to lose their families and have nowhere to go.Or because someone in the family was sick, they borrowed the usury from the gang, but they couldn't repay it, and then the family was ruined; some husbands smoked opium, and the family was ruined; The family was ruined by the government.

There are too many miserable places to list all these.

Lu Heng is not a hard-hearted man, and he will inevitably feel sorry for him when he hears it.

How can you give Lin Heier an idea and help these sisters survive, how can Lu Heng not do it?

Then he told the way of the Bai family.

Lin Heier grinned happily: "I knew Mr. Lu must have an idea!"

She smiled, although her face was not beautiful, but the joy and hope in her eyes were so clear.This is the most precious.

Reminiscing for a while, Lu Heng talked about Wang Zhengyi.

He said: "The newspapers said that Senior Wang's team was broken up, some said that he was killed in battle, and some said that he was captured; but I believe that Senior Wang must still be there, and he must be hiding somewhere waiting for an opportunity."

After hearing this, Lin Hei'er's expression was slightly gloomy, and she said, "Is this the path to failure that you said at the beginning?"

Lu Heng sighed: "Yes, this is what I said at the beginning. The Boxers are still fighting, but the end is not far away. The Manchus and foreigners are used to being subdued, and they will definitely be subdued again in the near future. By then, the Boxers will be the Manchus. Use it to vent your anger on foreigners."

He said: "After all, Senior Wang has kindness to me, and I also admire him as a man; maybe there was a slight collision due to various reasons, but it does not affect my attitude towards him. If necessary, I can give some money or other things. If you have a way, send it to Senior Wang."

It can't be said that benevolence is the utmost, how to do one's best.

Lin Heier heard this, and sighed slightly: "Senior Wang said that you, Mr. Lu, are lenient. Now it seems that this is indeed the case."

Lu Heng was dumbfounded: "Senior Wang really said that about me?"

Lin Heier said: "When I was still in Tianjin, Senior Wang came to me once, and talking about Mr. Lu, he said that you wrote to him and said what to do. He was very unhappy. He felt that all the people in the world Righteousness comes first, and the details can be put aside for the time being. But Mr. Lu, if you insist on the details, he is not very happy."

Lu Heng was speechless.

He probably knew it—Wang Zhengyi was only a martial artist after all, or he had made some progress in his thinking, but he probably didn't know the big picture, strategy and tactics.He only knows how to increase his strength, the more people the better; as for harassing and harming the common people, he may think that it is not a problem. When the foreigners are driven away and the Qing court is overthrown, it seems that everything will go smoothly.

This is the limitation of knowledge and the limitation of vision.So he felt that Lu Heng was too lenient, and an outsider came to take care of the uprising and the regiment.

No wonder the news gradually disappeared and he no longer communicated with Lu Heng.

Lu Heng couldn't help laughing: "I'm taking it easy. Hey, whatever, whatever."

Different road non-phase plan.Although some people are worthy of admiration, they may not be the person you imagined in your mind.

He took out 1 taels of silver from his pocket, and handed it to Lin Hei'er: "Please hand over this banknote to Senior Wang, and he said that I am indeed taking a leniency, and I won't do it in the future."

Lin Heier shook her head and returned the banknote: "If he doesn't want my banknote, why would he want Mr. Lu from you? He also said he owes you a lot of money, when will he return it to you?"

After a pause, he said: "Among the Boxers, there are very few people like me who are enlightened. They are all old and stubborn."

"In the final analysis, they are all muddle-headed. They only know revenge, they only know how to fight and kill. And what is the real future? No one thinks about it. They just feel that good days will come when foreigners are repulsed or the imperial court is overthrown. "

"Now I know it's impossible. But they still don't come to their senses."

"Actually, I have always been in touch with Senior Wang."

Lu Heng showed such an expression as expected.

Lin Heier said: "The telegraph is extremely easy to use. It's a bit ridiculous to say that, we used to think that the things of foreigners are ghosts and ghosts."

Lu Heng said: "Your thinking is improving."

This is something to be happy about, and it dilutes Lu Heng's previous sense of loss.

Lin Heier's progress and transformation, as a member of the Boxers, although most of them are limited to knowledge and vision and cannot see more, as long as there is one, it is good.

Lu Heng put away the banknote again: "Maybe I'm being sentimental, so I'll let it go about the matter of Senior Wang. But for the sisters you saved, I will help you no matter what."
