Go back to the past and be a schoolboy

Two Japanese people, one old and one young, took off their hats to salute when the owner of the house came back, bowed slightly, and the old man smiled in a proficient Mandarin pronunciation: "Cheng Sang, I am Zhong Xiyashu, the director of the Beijing branch of Dongya Tongwen Academy. Please forgive me for visiting."

It's a blessing or a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided. There is another face hidden behind the smile. Of course, Cheng Nuo would not be so naive as to think that people are just admiring him. Before he knew the truth, he chose to stop with silence.

"Mr. Zhongxi, Dongya Tongwen Academy is a "fantasy famous school" for the educated youth of your country. Everyone yearns for it, but I have never had any contact with your school, and I have no interest in the intersection for the time being. I don't know what the two of you are here today. ?”

The tree of Central Asia didn't care about the unfriendly tone in this tone, put on the hat again and still smiled: "Confucius has a saying that 'it is a joy to have friends from afar', you and I are colleagues in the education field, Of course, the purpose of visiting Cheng Sang is to make friends, and I happened to hear that you just came back from Shanghai, so I came here to throw a banquet to cleanse the dust."

After speaking, Zhong Xiyashu turned his head slightly towards the young man beside him. The young man understood, and immediately stepped aside and opened the door of the car behind.

"Guanghe Lou Yajian, invite Cheng Sang to listen to the opera."

There is no good banquet at a banquet, and there is a hidden opera within a play.

Cheng Nuo originally wanted to refuse directly, but after thinking about it carefully, with the devil's pissing nature, he naturally wouldn't give up easily. Now that the two sides have not really broken their faces, at least their own personal safety can be guaranteed. Why don't you go to the appointment and see the other party's calabash What kind of medicine is sold here, so I deliberately hide my clumsiness.

"It turns out that Mr. Zhongxi is also a friend of the Liyuan Opera. It was a pleasure to meet him. However, I am a countryman, and I am still not used to sitting on the iron tiger. I can't enjoy the blessings. I still sit comfortably on my own broken three-wheeler."

"That's fine, the guest is up to the owner, we can come as Cheng Sang feels comfortable." Zhong Xiyashu thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "How about this, I will lead the way in the car, and I will trouble you to follow behind, how about it?"

"Then follow what Mr. Zhongxi said, and we will follow slowly." Cheng Nuo nodded with a calm expression on his face, and outsiders could not see any thoughts at all: "But I have been away for a day, and I have to go back and change my clothes. Wait a moment."

"No problem, Cheng Sang, please do what you want."

But when Cheng Nuo really went back, he immediately asked Mr. Li to close the door with a serious expression.

"Lao Li, I remember that you were in touch with the disaster victims in Shiwowotou before. Is there such a thing?"

Although Li Laosan was a little dazed, he still nodded and said: "Yes, there is such a thing, I don't think that those people are pitiful, we are from that segment again, and it is a big deal if we can help , Picked a few young and middle-aged men to introduce to Mr. Guo, the last time we met, they all looked like calves, and they didn't look like sick young people back then."

Cheng Nuo nodded, and patted Li Laosan on the shoulder: "How about this, Lao Li, you find someone to go to the test field outside the city, and invite those master workers to Guanghe Building, pretending to listen to the show, but actually protecting me."

Suddenly, a hand covered with muddy spots shook from the door, and then a clay baby popped out: "I'll go, let me go!"

After all, it is his own seed, Li Laosan recognized it as a dog at a glance, and was so angry that he took off his shoes on the spot: "You have grown up, haven't you, you actually eavesdropped on the adults' speech, look at your body, I will take your mother's place first!" Clean up and clean you up."

Seeing this, Goudaner immediately faltered, and wiped his face with both hands, but it became more and more dirty as a result, his face was covered with mud, only a pair of eyes were exposed, and his white teeth were bared: "I didn't mean to eavesdrop on the wall, just now I accidentally overheard watering the wheat seedlings in the yard, Qianmen Guanghe Building, right? Don’t worry."

After speaking, they didn't give them any time to react, and they went straight to the back door.

When the figure disappeared, the lines on Li Laosan's face softened a lot: "This little chicken's wings are hardened at last, it's good to be hardened, old arms and legs will not be able to protect you sooner or later."

Looking back to see that Cheng Nuo had changed his clothes, Youngest Li said a little worriedly: "Sir, do we have to go? I heard that this Japanese devil is not a good guy. With just the few of us, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold him back." place."

Cheng Nuo comforted him and said, "When you meet on a narrow road, the brave win, and the timid get bullied. If you don't listen to what this drama is about, that's called passive. Don't worry, Lao Li, I know it."

Then the two left the house and followed the car.

In the car, the young man couldn't hold back his temper, and slightly opened the curtains of the rear window. Seeing Cheng Nuo and the others following him, he felt a little more at ease.

"Teacher, your alma mater, Tokyo Imperial University, has more talents. I believe there must be people who are willing to come to support our cause. Why do you treat that Chinese person so favorably?"

Zhong Xiyashu closed his eyes and rested his mind, and said calmly: "Xiongsuke, according to your opinion, what should we do with the talents in China?"

A sternness flashed in Nakanishi Yusuke's eyes: "For these people, we must try our best to get rid of them and kill China's future today. The Yamato nation only needs this rich land in East Asia."

"Confused! Is this the result of your study at East Asia Tongwen Academy? You are extremely stupid. In this state, how can you penetrate into the depths of China with peace of mind, and how will the investigation report come?" Regarding the performance of the nephew, Zhongya Shu was very surprised. Dissatisfied, compared to the appearance when he was talking and laughing with Cheng Nuo just now, he looks like a different person.

"Hi!" Nakanishi Yusuke immediately lowered his head, not daring to look directly.

"There is a very good saying in China, which is called 'the first is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the army, and the next is to attack the city'. You should go back and taste this sentence carefully. The family sent you to Shanghai Dongya Tongwen Academy. I want to train you to become a 'China hand', not a vulgar martial artist with only muscles in his head." Zhong Xiyashu closed his dead fish eyes again, and said in a deep voice: "The academy aims to understand the customs, customs, and businesses of various parts of China on the spot. Habits and the revitalization of Sino-Japanese trade are the purpose of running the school, and intelligence is above all else!"

Dongya Tongwen Academy and the super high school and Manchurian Railway Co., Ltd., which are often said in the film history of later generations, are all collecting information in China, absorbing a small number of Chinese children, and training them to become out-and-out pro-Japanese factions. After graduation, they are willing serve the interests of Japanese imperialism.At the same time, train and train a large number of talents who can carry out political and economic aggression and strategic espionage activities in China among the Japanese children.

However, his history is earlier than those two institutions. One of its predecessors was Hankou Leshantang, which was the first spy agency established by Japan in China. It was later merged with the Nissin Trade Research Institute. During the Sino-Japanese War of [-]-[-], almost all the students who graduated from the institute participated in the war of aggression against our country, committing serious crimes.

Cheng Nuo, as one of the most dazzling scholars in the country, naturally attracted the attention of this ancient spy organization. After a brief communication with the Japanese Chamber of Commerce in Tianjin, the Central and Western Asian establishment immediately brought his nephew to meet this "China" People", by the way, let's cultivate the power of his own lineage. He is far away from the Shanghai headquarters, so how could he have no selfish intentions.

Yusuke Nakanishi lowered his head, seemingly listening to what he said, but in fact he passed down the "excellent tradition" of Japan very well: "I heard that some of the seniors served as military translators during the Sino-Japanese War and went to the front, and some With a secret mission, sneak into the enemy's territory, blood-stain the grass and fields, and usher in today's day for the empire"

Before he finished speaking, Nakanishi Yusuke received a slap on the face instantly.

"Snapped!"

"Baga, tell me how many years you entered school, how many years you graduated, and what you need to do to graduate!"

"Hi! Enrolled in the fourth year of Taisho, and graduated in the seventh year of Taisho. As the No.14 Shengjing class, it is necessary to conduct surveys on both sides of China and China along the Jinpu line, complete the report of "Great Travel Records", and issue a complete social survey paper."

"Yaoxi, tell me what work you and your classmates have done so far?"

"I" Nakanishi Yusuke was at a loss for words with his swollen cheeks.

Starting from the first batch, each batch of students will form a group of several students three months to half a year before graduation, go deep into the inland of China to conduct on-the-spot investigations, and write investigation reports and travel logs.The content of the survey involves the economic conditions, business habits, financial capital, trade conditions, geographical situation, folk customs, transportation, local administrative organizations, foreign enterprises and forces in various parts of China.Recording methods include diagrams, sketches, photos, etc. in addition to text.

In the past few decades, except for Tibet, basically all parts of the country have been surveyed. The north has reached Kulun and Uliasutai in Outer Mongolia, the west has reached Kuqa, Yili, and Tacheng in Xinjiang, and it has reached the Sino-Russian border. No wonder the Japanese jokingly said: In mainland China, there is no place that the students of Dongya Tongwen Academy have not been to.

The number of students is limited every year. East Asia Tongwen Academy specially arranges classes for the classes that are about to graduate, and divides them into groups. Each class is responsible for an area. The East Asia Tongbun Association and the East Asia Tongbun Academy each keep a copy, and must submit a copy to the General Staff Headquarters, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce.

As a member of a modest family somewhere in the island country, he really looked down on those classmates of untouchable blood. If the elders in the family hadn't forced him, Nakanishi Yusuke would never have come to China, let alone eating and sleeping with him for social investigations. Don't even think about it.

Nakanishi Yusuke lowered his head and couldn't look at his face at all. Others couldn't figure out his inner thoughts, but the swelling blood vessels in his neck and the bulging mouth muscles from time to time were clearly still unconvinced.

"Baga, Baga, road."

However, Zhong Xiyashu didn't want to wrestle with his nephew any more, and he didn't speak any more along the way, until the car drove to Guanghe Building, his face changed suddenly, and he greeted the tricycle with a smile on his face.

"Cheng Sang, the bumpy journey has made you suffer. This is Guanghe Building. I have reserved a private room on the second floor, and I invite Cheng Sang to come with me."

"Then Mr. Lao Zhongxi." Although the young Japanese tried his best to dodge and prevent others from seeing his own face, the sharp-eyed Cheng Nuo still caught it, and his vigilance was immediately raised to a higher level. He smiled and said: "Everyone said that when you come to Beijing, you must listen to the opera. Why the family has been struggling, and I didn't find an opportunity to come here. Now it's thanks to Mr. Zhongxi."

Talking about Mr. Cheng Nuo, Cheng Nuo actually wished that the two little devils would die before the other. What kind of shit is East Asia Tongwen College, isn't it just learning from Western missionaries?

With something hidden in their hearts, the two stepped into the Guanghelou Opera Garden one after the other.

It's just the couplet written by Kangxi himself at the gate: "The sun, the moon, the lights, the river, the sea, the oil, the wind, the thunder, the drums, the drums, the heaven and the earth. There are many characters in Yao and Shun's life, civil and military, reckless, ugly, and clean from ancient to modern times."

It is said to be a private room, but it is not elegant at all. When you enter the theater garden, you will be greeted by two large pillars that are obtrusive. The ground floor is full of uneven broken bricks. I went to the window on the second floor and glanced out, and found that in addition to selling snacks and drinks on both sides of the road, there was an open-air urinal nearby, which really meant "clean and hygienic".

Even so, the first and second floors were full of people, the business was very good, and the atmosphere was very hot.

After coming to the private room to sit down, Zhong Xiyashu gave some instructions to the subordinates at the side, and then several guys carrying food boxes came in one after another and arranged the food one by one.

"Cheng Sang, this is the meal I specially ordered in advance at the restaurant. It may not be as delicious as when it comes out of the pan, but it is definitely delicious." Zhong Xiyashu stood up with a smile, and pointed the head of the braised carp to Cheng Nuo: " Good food comes with a good show, and there are like-minded people by your side. In the old saying of your country, life is like this, and there is nothing more to ask for. Too much pursuit of other things, too many difficulties, and life is too tiring. Why not enjoy the present with me. "

Cheng Nuo turned back the fish head calmly, put down his chopsticks and said with a smile: "When I saw this fish, I suddenly thought of a proverb in your country called '鰯の头も信心から' (Sincere sincerity, gold and stone are open) ), if you just pursue ease, wouldn’t life be too monotonous?”

The Central Asian tree laughed, and looked very happy: "Cheng Sang is really knowledgeable, and even understands our common sayings. It seems that there is a relationship between you and me. I will treat you to a real Japanese meal some other day." Sardines, taste our delicacies."

He picked up a piece of fish skin himself, chewed it a few times, and rolled his eyes slightly upwards: "Although the proverb is good, it has some superstitious meaning in our place. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for a scientific worker?"

Cheng Nuo responded tit for tat: "But we are in China now, and I believe that sincerity can lead to success. But since I am a guest from afar, as the host, I have to let you have a taste of Chinese cuisine no matter what."

As he spoke, he yelled to the waiter downstairs: "Hey, master, what do you eat here?"

The clerk raised his head and shouted with his hands in the shape of a trumpet: "Authentic old Beijing, we have whatever you want to eat."

Cheng Nuo raised his eyebrows and smiled, and what he wanted was this sentence: "Okay, give me two copies of your most authentic bean juice, stewed, fried belly, and fried liver. If you are not authentic, you won't pay! "

"Come on, just watch it now! I don't know if you smashed my stall, and I won't say a word."

Looking at the kid beside him who was still having fun, Cheng Nuo was worried, and asked, "Mr. Zhongxi, have you ever eaten delicious food in old Beijing?"

Zhong Xiyashu thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Except for the roast duck, I haven't eaten Beijing delicacies for the time being."

Cheng Nuo smiled and said, "Then you are in luck. The dishes I called are not available in ordinary places. No matter who eats them from outside, they will never forget their delicacy in this lifetime."

Sour, fishy, ​​mutton, and smelly, these four masters correspond one by one, and the more authentic it is, the stronger the smell.

Old devil who lives a good life, you have taken advantage of it!
