A Man of Science and Engineering in Troubled Times Wandering in the Late Qing Dynasty

Chapter 92 Good Deeds
Fengling and the owner of the medical clinic opened the curtain and walked in. Fengling saw a few more people, especially the coachman Zhao Qian, and asked in surprise, "Why are you here? Didn't your brother tell you not to come?"

Zhao Qian wiped away his tears and stood up, calling out, "Fengling."

Feng Ling didn't wait for him to say more, she went up and kicked him, "You have no memory, if you also get in, how can I save you!"

Feng Ling reached out to hit him, but Zhao Qian grabbed her hand, "Feng Ling, listen to me! This time I found a living Bodhisattva, who can save my brother."

"Living Bodhisattva?" Feng Ling looked at Li Yu and Yang Xiaolou. She didn't know Li Yu, but she lived in Bada Hutong, so she must know Yang Xiaolou, so she said, "Mr. So much silver?"

Yang Xiaolou coughed, "How do you know my depth! Don't talk nonsense, I have never been to these romantic places! And," Yang Xiaolou pointed to Li Yu, "the Living Bodhisattva is this Master Li."

Zhao Qian said: "Yes, Feng Ling, this is Mr. Li! Mr. Li is a big shot! He heard about my brother and offered to help."

Fengling has experienced a lot of social things as a firework girl. At the first moment, she didn't believe Li Yu, and asked: "Mr. Li wants to pay the money in advance? What are the conditions? I figured, their Zhao family only has a few acres of land, It's not worth 40 taels of silver."

Li Yudao: "I'm not a landlord, what do I want land for?"

Zhao Qian was also very curious: "Yes, Master Li, what exactly do you want?"

Li Yu said, "I want you to be my full-time driver in the future."

Zhao Qian was taken aback: "Professional driver?"

"Yeah, take care of food and housing, and drive for me in the future."

Li Yu thought that there would still be some distance between Beijing Normal University and Dongchang Hutong in the future, and he would definitely walk around. In this era without subways, buses, and shared bicycles, he could only rely on rickshaw pullers.

Zhao Qian tremblingly said: "So that's what happened! Master Li, you didn't ask me to do something, you obviously gave me a great favor!"

Li Yu said, "I don't care what you think anymore, okay?"

Zhao Qian wanted to kneel again: "Master Li, you are truly a living Bodhisattva!"

Li Yu immediately supported him and said, "I told you not to kneel."

With tears in his eyes, Zhao Qian said, "From now on, I will give Master Li five hours a day!"

Li Yu said with a smile: "Why do I ride a car every day, even if you don't feel tired, I can't stand it!"

"Okay, Mr. Li! But did you say the wrong word? I am pulling the cart, not driving. Or do you mean the driver of the carriage?"

Li Yu patted him on the shoulder, "Now it is natural to pull a cart, and in the future I will drive, and then I will drive. At that time, I will be a real driver."

Zhao Qian couldn't understand Li Yu's words, but felt that it must be a good thing, and said to Feng Ling next to him, "Look, let me say that Master Li is a living Bodhisattva!"

Li Yu added: "It won't be as hard as it is now, and you will be paid, and you won't earn less than you are now."

"Master Li!"

"Okay, okay! Don't kneel!"

Feng Ling has seen many men, she is very accurate in seeing people, and after some observation, she really feels that Li Yu does not look like a liar. Besides, even if she is a liar, the Zhao family brothers are poor, and there is nothing to be deceived.

Feng Ling said: "My family has thanked Master Li. If Master Li needs anything in the future, if you come to our Luohua Tea Room, you will be sure to make Master Li comfortable."

Li Yu didn't want to visit this kind of place, besides, he could tell at a glance that Zhao Qian and Feng Ling had a delicate relationship.

Although Feng Ling is a prostitute, Zhao Qian obeys her, and his love is beyond words.

They are all poor people living at the bottom, which can be regarded as a kind of sympathy.

Li Yu later found out that they were all from Zhangjiakou, and the three grew up together, but Fengling was sold to human traffickers when she was a child.

Later, brother Zhao Qian came to the capital to pull a rickshaw, and accidentally found Fengling who was wandering in the dust. He hurriedly told his younger brother Zhao Qian, and Zhao Qian came to the capital regardless of everything. rickshaw.

Historically, Fengling couldn't bear this kind of dusty life, and committed suicide by swallowing opium in 1903 next year.

Brother Zhao Qian also struggled to get up from the bed: "My benefactor, I have to kowtow to you too!"

Li Yu hurriedly held him down, "What are you doing! Don't do this!"

In fact, the strangest thing about Li Yu was not why they always wanted to kneel down, but why he hadn't heard them mention who hurt Zhao Qian's brother's leg after he came here for so long.

They didn't say anything, but Li Yu asked directly: "Who did it? Why didn't you pay?"

Zhao Qian wanted to say, but his brother stopped him.

Fengling couldn't stand it, and said angrily: "There's nothing to be afraid of! Master Li, the son who hit the man is called Lin Binghua, and he's from Zhoutong, Xuanhua Prefecture, Hebei Province. He came to the medical center once before, but he only paid two taels of silver to settle the matter." , and said that his dog’s broken leg can be cured with two taels of silver.”

Xuanhua Mansion is Zhangjiakou, no wonder they dare not mention this, because they are all from Zhangjiakou.Officials protect each other, and reporting to officials is definitely useless.

What's more, the name Lin Binghua is too familiar to Li Yu, isn't he the candidate of the official academy who spoke rudely to the university and himself in Dongxing building before.

Unexpectedly, this kid turned out to be such a gentle scum!
Li Yu snorted coldly: "I see, I guarantee that he won't be able to eat and walk around."

Knowing their details, Feng Ling quickly said: "Master Li, it's almost enough. They are all officials, we can't afford to mess with them! We don't want to do anything, and we know we can't do anything to him, but we just can't bear it. And set yourself on fire."

Li Yu said, "Don't worry."

At this moment, not only is it because Lin Binghua's behavior is really disgusting, but more importantly, he absolutely cannot tolerate such a person entering the Imperial University Hall as his alumni, and he is also the first batch of alumni who are quite commemorative.

It's not worth dishonoring the reputation of the university hall!
The matter is generally understood, and it is time for Li Yu to leave. After staying in Bada Hutong for a long time, it is hard to justify it. It will be really difficult to explain if others see it again.

Walking out of the hospital, Yang Xiaolou asked Li Yu, "I'm afraid it's not good if you really want to control that official."

Li Yu said, "Don't worry, I will definitely not act rashly."

Yang Xiaolou knew that Li Yu was a very smart person, and he would definitely not be fussy when doing things, but he was not too worried: "When I saw him today, I feel that Brother Li really admires me more and more."

Li Yu sighed: "There is nothing to admire."

"Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, of course it is worthy of admiration! To be honest, if you don't help him solve this debt, the people in the car factory will definitely drive him to death, and his brother will definitely not have a good result .” Yang Xiaolou was well aware of how ruthless those people were.

Li Yu said, "I know."

Yang Xiaolou said: "Actually, I also hope that evil people will be rewarded with evil, just like what is sung in the play, but I have seen too little in reality."

Li Yu's eyes flashed, "I can't tell you about others, but Lin Binghua's deserved karma will certainly not be less."

Lin Binghua's official status was donated, and all the money he spent will definitely be for nothing in the future!
Li Yu said, "Okay, it's getting late, I can't stay here for long, so I'll take my leave first."

"Leaving in such a hurry? Why don't you come and sit with my adoptive father." Yang Xiaolou said.

"No, no, no," Li Yu declined, and then asked: "But you stay here every day, singing and dancing at night, will you not be able to control it?"

"Hey!" Yang Xiaolou stretched out his right index finger and middle finger like a sword and slashed in the air, and then said in a playful tone: "I have been among thousands of flowers, and not a single leaf has touched my body!"

Then he made a funny appearance and stood in front of Li Yu, with the words "Luohua Tea Room" above his head.

Li Yu gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Niuuuuuuuuu!"

Li Yu turned around and called Zhao Qian: "Have you talked enough? There will be plenty of time in the future! You have to take me back first, and then give some money to the car factory."

The car factory is also a jerk in handling affairs, bullying the weak and fearing the hard, and can't afford to offend the officials, so he shows his might to the driver.

Zhao Qian said: "I know Master Li, I'll take care of your business first!"

The distance from Liulichang to Dongchang Hutong is not close, about ten miles, but Zhao Qian was in a happy mood, and he didn't feel tired at all after jogging all the way.

After arriving home, Li Yu gave him 60 taels of silver.

Zhao Qian said, "Master Li, you gave me 20 taels more!"

"Isn't there still medical expenses? In addition, if there are more, let your brother take them back to Zhangjiakou. Don't pull the cart anymore, and don't let the land at home be left unused."

The drivers who pull the carts basically have high-intensity work, which is completely overdrawing their lives. Most of the carters can't stand it after five or six years, and most of them can't handle it for ten years at most.

Although the income from farming in his hometown is not high, but his leg is injured, it is definitely impossible to pull a cart.

Zhao Qian burst into tears unconsciously, "Master Li, you are so kind! I have lived for more than 20 years, and I have never seen anyone like you!"

Li Yu smiled and said, "I'll see you now. Go, remember to come to work when you're done."

Zhao Qian wiped away his tears, "Don't worry, Mr. Li, I will definitely not miss your business! From now on, even if you go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire, I will drag you there! I will never forget your great kindness!"

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, besides, I'm almost moved," Li Yu pushed him, "And remember not to see others like this in the future."

Holding the silver ticket, Zhao Qian pulled up the car and ran towards Bada Hutong again, feeling as happy as if ten pigeons had been released.

The housekeeper, Uncle Wang, saw it and knew the whole story in a few words. He said, "My lord, your heart is too kind."

Li Yu said casually, "Indeed, although I know this won't help too many people, but sometimes it's just that I simply can't see the suffering in the world."

Wang Bo praised: "You are really like a reincarnated Bodhisattva."

Li Yu smiled and said, "Where is there any bodhisattva? If there really is a bodhisattva, how can you not see this purgatory on earth?"
