Chapter 720 The Old Shadow of the Republic of China (7) Three in One(1/2)
Old Shadow of the Republic of China 7
Recently, the Fourth Master seemed very anxious and tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep.
"What's wrong?" That night, Lin Yutong was so disturbed by his turn that she couldn't sleep, so she simply turned over and sat up, "Don't keep it in your heart if you have something to do."
The Fourth Master lay down and didn't move. After a long time, he simply turned on the desk lamp. He sat up and wrapped Lin Yutong with a quilt, then leaned on the head of the bed and said, "Don't you think you have forgotten something. Think about it carefully."
What did you forget? What could you forget?
"What?" Lin Yutong was still a little confused when she didn't wake up. She was confused at this moment. "I thought about the epidemic. It seems that cholera has occurred in many other places, which is the most serious in Shaanxi. But this should be the case in Qiu. Miss Lu came here this time, and I was already thinking about this. I didn't forget!" As she said that, she rubbed her eyes and wanted to lie down.
"Yes!" The Fourth Master narrowed his eyes. "September 18th has not changed, and this flood and epidemic has not changed, but I have not waited until now, and there is something I haven't waited for."
"What's the matter?" Lin Yutong's mind became clearer and thought about it. "I've been suffering from epidemics in my mind recently."
"One, 28!" Before Lin Yutong could finish speaking, the Fourth Master reminded him to say these three words.
January 28th? January 28th!
Lin Yutong was stunned for a moment, yes! On January 28, 2012, Japan launched a large-scale attack on Shanghai, and the Anti-Japanese War broke out on the 128th. But now it is already March.
She finally realized something was wrong.
"Some events deviated due to unknown reasons." She was stunned for a moment before saying.
The Fourth Master nodded, simply got up, and walked around the house in his clothes: "Because of the 18th century, this has not changed. Recently, I have been paying attention to the movements in Qingdao and have sent relevant articles to the newspapers in Qingdao. But there has been no news. I remember that I first captured Qingdao."
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly heard a violent explosion, and then the whole house trembled.
The Fourth Master rushed over and pressed Lin Yutong under his body. He couldn't wait any longer. Then he looked up and looked up. There was still dust falling from the house. Lin Yutong's first reaction was that the wolf was coming!
She immediately understood what the Fourth Master meant, and what should be born will still be born, but the specific date may have some deviation. This made them completely lose the advantage of taking advantage of specific events.
The reason why the two of them have never blew this history before is that they have vaguely guessed in their hearts.
Now it actually confirms the speculation.
Lin Yutong took the clothes to the Fourth Master: "Change it!"
I changed my clothes quickly in the room, and the sound of gunfire became increasingly dense.
While changing his clothes, the Fourth Master said, "Listen! This is a firefight between the two sides."
They didn't dare to delay any delay. When they came out of their home, they saw that the outside was already in chaos and were moving out in a crowded manner. Looking at this direction, it should be the direction of the concession. The child cried and the adults shouted, mixed with the dense sound of gunfire.
In this messy crowd, it is a blessing that the two of them can't get separated. Even if they want to be fast, they can't get it.
When I arrived at the concession and returned to the orphanage, I realized that the houses on both sides were full of children.
Mrs. Gui wiped the sweat from her head: "Aren't they all orphans, and most of the children sent in were under five years old. When the war broke out, no one knew which day it would fight. The children followed them too much and most of them would not survive. The adults had no choice. Most of them said that they would foster their children here first, and some even left money."
Lin Yutong nodded: "Check it. Just collect what you send it. Is there enough food?"
"Didn't you say before that you should buy more food while the price of the grain is right?" Gui Sao was a little lucky, "Most of the money you gave was exchanged for grain. It's cornmeal, which is enough to eat."
No matter what it is, just eat some.
"That's good." Lin Yutong looked inside and outside. Although she was crying and making trouble, she was safe here. In today's era, it was a blessing to be able to live. As for whether she was good or not, she was not careful about whether she had a good life or whether she had received any psychological harm. This is the reason why she would rather be a peaceful dog than a troubled person. The child's crying made her feel restless and she would not stay in the orphanage for too long. She looked outside and said, "You can be busy here. I have nothing to worry about. I have to go there in person. I will not come here in the past few days."
Turning downstairs, the Fourth Master had already found dozens of strong laborers with Han Zai, all of whom were familiar to Han Zai and Sao Gui. With these people guarding the support, there was no need to worry about it here. The Fourth Master called Han Zai and told him, "Be smart, if the situation is wrong, you will send all the children to the basement."
After talking for a long time, the two of them saw that there was nothing to explain, so they turned around and walked out. The plane in the sky flew over their heads and looked from afar. The shell fell from the plane. In that direction, it should be the downtown area.
He rushed forward until the outside of the position, watching the wounded soldiers lifting down one by one, the Fourth Master said: "You can't move forward any more. I'll find a way to get gauze and medicine."
"Okay!" Lin Yutong was not pretentious and watched the Fourth Master leave. Now everything in the hospital has been recruited. However, many businessmen still have things in their hands. Find more medicines and save more people.
When the Fourth Master left in a hurry, Lin Yutong turned to the corner, put her white coat on her body, took out a first aid kit, and started to work.
At this time, no one would ask who was. Seeing that a doctor was close to the position and was slightly injured, Lin Yutong, who was treated here, returned to the battlefield. Those who were seriously injured only had the most basic first aid here and then transported them to the rear.
Sometimes bullets are flying like they are pressing against their cheeks, and the shells fall not far away. The person who explodes his ears and stops talking. Many times, he can't stand firmly.
In the evening, the Fourth Master came with a few people who were obviously workers and sent gauze and limited medicines. "I have contacted the nursing school, and a few students will come over immediately. Ask them to help with the minor injuries, come and eat something."
Lin Yutong took the steamed bun stuffed by the Fourth Master. She actually couldn't hear him clearly, but she probably understood what he meant. Outside, she couldn't ask where these medicines were made, so she just gestured and told him to be careful.
After three days like this, Lin Yutong could fall asleep while standing, and never was so tired. The closest to Lin Yutong's rescue center was the Airen Hospital's rescue center. Over the past few days, they have also found that no matter how serious the injured person sent from Lin Yutong was, no one died.
So slowly, more and more serious injuries were sent, and almost no minor injuries were seen. As a result, there was no one who replaced her to take a breath.
You can only take the time to rest when both sides temporarily shut down the engine.
During the brief calm that day, Lin Yutong was awakened by the dense sound of gunfire. This time, when she opened her eyes, she saw a woman in pants, with a camera hanging around her neck and a pen and a notebook in her hand. Needless to say, she knew that this was a reporter. Lin Yutong admired her courage to be a reporter from the position, but she didn't want to accept her interview at all.
"Doctor Lin." She followed Lin Yutong, "As soon as I came to the position, I heard about your name. Which hospital are you from? I think you are using silver needles. Are you a Chinese medicine doctor? My name is Xu Lihua, and I am a reporter from the Central News Agency."
"If you don't interfere with my rescue, I would be even more grateful." Lin Yutong frowned and took the mask from her pocket and put it on her face.
With a "bang", Xu Lihua looked at the woman who was wearing a mask and hiding her face tightly. She was stunned. She had never seen such a person who didn't want to be famous. She looked at Lin Yutong, and then shrugged helplessly, "Okay, I respect your wishes. You Chinese medicine doctor."
"What's wrong with traditional Chinese medicine?" Lin Yutong kept his hands in his hands, with a bit of mocking in his tone: "The Central Health Commission of the Government proposed a resolution to fundamentally promote Western medicine and overturn traditional Chinese medicine. Don't you also vigorously advocate it? What are the opinions of Miss Xu? Forbid me to practice medicine?"
Thinking of these bullshit things makes people laugh. The resolution of a government agency is so rash.
Xu Lihua was choked and before she could react, Lin Yutong didn't give her a chance to speak at all, so she turned around and went to work on other wounded people.
This is a small episode, and Lin Yutong forgot about it within two days.
This kind of days lasted for a month, and the final result seemed to have not changed. Chiang proposed to negotiate with it on the one hand, and actively prepare for war on the other hand. This kind of negotiation will definitely have a result, because Japan just wants to shift its international attention from Northeast China to Shanghai. I heard that the two sides are already in negotiations, and Britain, the United States and other countries have intervened as third parties, which is temporarily considered a truce.
When Lin Yutong and the Fourth Master returned home, the situation in their small yard was quite good. Except for the outside shops that were rented out, most of the houses were not damaged. Only after entering the house, they found that the things in the house had been almost lost. From pots, pans, to furniture and bedding, they were gone. Someone must have taken the opportunity to steal them! There are all kinds of people in this world, and there are many people who have wealth in the country. Big people have the way to make money, and small people have the way to get home.
If you lose it, you will lose it! The two of them didn’t seriously count what they lost or how much they lost. After all, these things are not important things. Lin Yutong will never keep the real important things at home.
The two of them didn't say anything, so they couldn't hold on anymore. They just closed the door and ate for a meal, and then lie down on the bed. The sleep was dark and the sky was dark. If they hadn't felt hungry, they would definitely not be able to wake up.
Lin Yutong got up and pricked her ears a few times before she felt better. She didn't have to worry about hearing people talking. She handed the food to the Fourth Master lying beside her, "Eat some first."
The Fourth Master glanced at it and took it, but did not rush to eat it. Instead, he said, "Give me a glass of water first." His voice was hoarse.
Lin Yutong handed over the water again, and when he saw him get up and drink, he felt relieved. He leaned against the head of the bed, and then asked him: "I consumed a lot of medicine this time, where did you get it?"
"Gang." The Fourth Master said two simple words, "Only they have what is ready in their hands, and it is not within the scope of the government's recruitment."
But it is not easy to take out meat from these people.
While listening, Lin Yutong lay down and ate bitelessly. She looked at the roof with her eyes wide open, her eyes a little confused.
The Fourth Master reached out to pat her: "You have done everything you can do. That's enough. We are not a savior! We can't be a savior!" History has its trajectory, it has never been written by one person, nor can it be changed by one person. "Now, the big picture has become."
It is not only the domestic pattern, but also the world pattern. Even God cannot wave his arm and turn all disasters into invisible.
Lin Yutong nodded, "I know." She sat up suddenly, "What do you have to calculate in the future of your designs? Leave it to me. Let us both together, it will be faster."
"Okay!" As soon as the Fourth Master responded, he heard a knock on the door outside.
Who is coming this time?
The Fourth Master was wearing clothes and went downstairs to open the door. Lin Yutong quickly changed her clothes upstairs and vaguely heard the sound of a naive baby outside. He was asking the Fourth Master, with a little anxious, worried and complaining: "Where are you going? If something happens," his task was to ensure the safety of these two people at all costs. In this chaotic period, he actually lost the two people.
"Come in and talk." The Fourth Master let the person into the room. Lin Yutong was coming down the stairs. She asked Hanzai with a change of topic: "How is the orphanage now?"
When Hanzai saw Lin Yutong, he was stunned for a moment. It was only a month ago, why did he lose weight like this? "It's okay! The orphanage is pretty good, and no children are injured. It's just that my wife" doesn't seem very good!
Lin Yutong smiled and said, "I'm fine, just raise it."
Hanzi said to the Fourth Master in a muffled voice: "I lived here this time, and I won't leave no matter what I say. Mrs. Gui has an assistant, so I'd better come and run errands with me." As if I was afraid that the Fourth Master and Lin Yutong would not agree, "I'll live in the stairwell, it's good to live in the stairwell."
Before the Fourth Master and Lin Yutong could speak, the door was knocked again.
Hanzai quickly said, "It's settled." After that, he rushed out: "I'll open the door, sir."
When Lin Yutong saw the guests coming, she reached out to the Fourth Master to button the clothes. She heard Hanzai whispering at the door: "Sir, it's Mr. Chen here."
"Please." The Fourth Master rolled up his sleeves, took two steps forward to greet him.
As soon as Chen Xiangdong came in, he reached out to the Fourth Master and said, "You really scared me. After doing such a big thing, you didn't tell me in advance. I beat people to the concession to see you, and then I realized that you had set up an orphanage in the concession and collected hundreds of children. It's really admirable!"
The Fourth Master said a few modesty words and asked him to sit in the living room. Lin Yutong and Hanzai did not disturb their conversation, and came out of the living room and went to the kitchen to cook water and make tea.
The sand in the living room was stolen, and the Fourth Master randomly found two chairs: "Sit as you like. This house has not been cleaned up yet. It's really rude."
Chen Xiangdong looked around and saw that his life was too unpretentious. He also remembered the hundreds of children who were burning more money a day, and he couldn't help but admire him. He thought of his own decision and felt a little ashamed. He sighed and said, "Brother Yin, I came here this time to ask if you have any thoughts on going to Hong Kong. Then settle in Hong Kong, and transfer from Hong Kong to the United States. You have seen the situation in China now. I heard that Shanghai will withdraw its troops soon. Once our own army is not stationed, do you think you dare to live in such a place? Can you not be afraid to live?"
"So, the Chen family is planning to go to the United States with their whole family." The Fourth Master heard what the other party meant, looked at Chen Xiangdong and asked.
Chen Xiangdong looked at the Fourth Master strangely: "Isn't this normal? Not only our Chen family, but many families have already gone out. We are all people with families and careers, so where are they living the same life? Gold is common all over the world. There is this thing, and the promissory note of Swiss banks, where is it impossible to go? Although you have your skills, it is easy to live in the United States. I also know that it is hard to leave your hometown. If you really want to give up in your heart, it is a lie. But what can I do if I don't want to give up? Who told us to catch up with this chaotic world?"
The Fourth Master waved his hand: "I'm back, I have no intention of going out again."
When he came in to deliver tea, the silly cub was relieved when he heard it. He put the tea down and retreated.
When he arrived at the kitchen, he said to Lin Yutong, "After all, the richer people are, the more they cherish their lives. They all run out, but they all run away. Wouldn't this country be over?"
After hearing the Fourth Master’s reply, Chen Xiangdong seemed to be no surprise. He was silent for a long time before saying, “Everyone has his own ambitions and cannot force it. I will deal with my family’s industry as soon as possible. I will contact you again when I arrive in the United States. If you have any needs in the future, you can also write to me. We have not been together for a long time, but you must be one of my few friends.” As he said that, he felt a little sad.
The Fourth Master smiled, without any thoughts of sadness and tragic love. He only grasped the key points and told him about the textile factory. "Mike probably can eat Hengchang. The two companies of textile and printing and dyeing are more competitive."
Chen Xiangdong nodded: "He is an American, and this transaction should be able to continue. That's good! The price is easy to say. As long as he can accept the workers in the factory, it doesn't matter if the price is low. Otherwise, these workers might have to go to the Japanese factory to beg for food."
The Fourth Master agreed immediately.
Unexpectedly, I just talked about the Japanese spinning mill. Two days later, these workers in the Japanese spinning mill, about 40,000, started a general strike.
