Qiao Zhiqing smiled bitterly, the old man's food and clothing have become a problem, and he is still thinking about the science of foreigners.Sometimes these people who are engaged in scientific research are really focused and a little cute."
It's called bitumen, and it's a special substance extracted from the oil underneath the ground, and it volatilizes a toxic chemical gas when exposed to sunlight."
Qiao Zhiqing explained to Xu Shou with a smile."
I haven't heard of this scientific name, no wonder asphalt smells of oil.Brother Qiao has a lot of research on chemical things, and these days he is studying oil, and the burning power of this thing is much stronger than coal, if there is a way to use it in the steam engine, it will definitely greatly improve the efficiency of the steam engine. ”As soon as Xu Shou talked about academic issues, he suddenly refreshed his spirits, but his stomach couldn't help but "gurgle"."
It's not too early, there is still some leftover rice at home, I will boil some porridge for everyone to cushion their stomachs first."
Mrs.
Xu smiled awkwardly on the side, and hurriedly got up and retreated.Qiao Zhiqing listened to Xu Shou's thoughts, and suddenly thought of the internal combustion engine, the cars, trains, planes, and ships of the later division, all of which had undergone earth-shaking innovations because of this thing, and he didn't know how much progress had been made compared to the steam engine.It seems that Xu Shousheng is really a pity in China, if he is abroad, I am afraid that it will trigger the "second industrial revolution" in advance. ”"Brother Xu, I heard that your hometown is Wuxi, haven't you thought about taking the time to go back and have a look" Qiao Zhiqing was quiet, and set up a routine with Xu Shou, thinking about how to bring these talents back to Suzhou."
Who said I hadn't thought about it, the old man still had a few acres of thin fields in Wuxi before, but after Wuxi was occupied by long-haired thieves, he didn't go home to see it.A few days ago, I met a fellow villager who came from Wuxi to visit the concession, and listened to his meaning, as if the prefect of Suzhou had recovered Wuxi, and also divided the land equally among the farmers in the township.The old man thought about whether he would go home and plant some thin fields, but he was worried that the official in Suzhou would receive some news, and it would be bad to hand it over to Zeng Guofan for punishment.Oh, by the way, Brother Qiao, I heard that the prefect of Suzhou is also surnamed Qiao, you have led the troops in the Huai army for many days, can you know him" Xu Shou looked at Qiao Zhiqing with some expectation, he had been besieged in Anqing City for many days, and he didn't know anything about everything that happened in the outside world.Naturally, I didn't know that Qiao Zhiqing in Suzhou was Qiao Zhiqing in front of him.Qiao Zhiqing chuckled, and was just about to reply, when he heard a burst of knocks outside the door, accompanied by noisy scolding."
Open the door, open the door, old thing, don't you want to live anymore, open the door."
Xu Shou got up and hugged his fist with a somewhat embarrassed face, "Brother Qiao will use tea here first, and the old man will go back to see it." ”"Brother Xu has something to do, just go and get busy, it's okay."
Qiao Zhiqing smiled and nodded repeatedly.Xu Shou went out of the door, Huang Feihong vigilantly watched the movement outside by the door, and whispered in Qiao Zhiqing's ear, "Dashuai, it seems that the person who came is not good, will he come at us?"
”Qiao Zhiqing whispered calmly, and then heard Xu Shou's screams from outside the hospital, and then heard the business of smashing things, and the shouting and scolding of a large group of people.The people in the house were surprised at the same time, Qiao Zhiqing quickly jumped up and rushed out of the house with Huang Feihong.Xu Jianyin finally put down the book, helped his mother who ran down from the upstairs, and also went out of the house."
What kind of people are you trespassing into people's houses in broad daylight, is there still a royal law" After Qiao Zhiqing went out, he hurriedly helped Xu Shou, who was lying on the ground and moaning, to help him up, and Huang Feihong clenched his fists and protected him in front of him."
Hey, where did this wild cub come from, dare to take care of the master's nossy Wang Fa Grandpa, I am the king of the law here."
At this time, more than a dozen rough men crowded in the courtyard, and smashed the flower pots, water urns, and cooking utensils in the courtyard.The pots and pans rolled to the ground, and several weak women and children who came out of the wing room were frightened and cried, Hua Yufang and Gong Yuntang did not return from working outside, and the family members were all frightened like little sheep.The leader was a short and thin young man, who stretched out his thumb to Qiao Zhiqing and pointed at himself.Wearing a tattered melon skin hat on his head, an open chest, rolled up his sleeves, and a toothpick in his mouth, he looks like he is a non-mainstream virtue in later generations."
Fuck your fart."
Huang Feihong was furious when he heard this, and before Qiao Zhiqing could speak, he "swished" one of his shoulders and slapped the young man on the cheek.Because the speed was too fast, the big man behind the young man did not react.Although Huang Feihong's slap seems ordinary, it was trained by Hu Wenhai with a secret method.The method of practice is the same as that of the iron sand palm, but it must be soaked in medicinal wine every day.After Huang Feihong practiced hard for 7749 days, a tree trunk with a thick bowl mouth could be broken into two with one palm.The young man was the one who knew the taste best, and with a dull sound, the young man's thin body flew out more than a foot away.Huang Feihong didn't wait for the rough men to react, so he opened the bow left and right again, and when he came out of his palm, it was the fury of thunder, and he could see blood at least and break bones at worst.With the whirring palm wind, in less than half a burnt incense, the strong men in the courtyard all lay on the ground wailing."
Hero, stop fighting, stop fighting."
Huang Feihong still didn't understand his hatred, and was about to go up to make up for his two feet one by one, but Xu Shou hurriedly went up and grabbed his arm.The young man had already peed his pants in fright by Huang Feihong, and when he saw Xu Shou holding him, he hurriedly got up, stood at the door and covered the blood gushing from his mouth, pretending to threaten fiercely, "Okay, old man Xu, you wait for me, and grandpa will see how you cry later." ”The slap that Huang Feihong slapped on the young man's face just now actually only used three points of strength, and even so, it still made the young man's nose and eyes slanted, and half of the teeth in his mouth fell out.As soon as the young man finished scolding, all the men in the courtyard followed and crawled out of the courtyard."
Roll the calf, little cub, grandpa is waiting for you here today, if you don't dare to come, it will be Wang Basheng's."
Huang Feihong pointed to the young man and scolded in the Northeast dialect, there were many young people from the Northeast in the pro-military camp, Huang Feihong felt that their scolding words sounded domineering, so he followed and learned a few words, which sounded a little tasteful.When the young man saw that Huang Feihong still wanted to do something, where did he dare to stay here, and the girl led a group of rough men to slip away without a trace."
Oh no, Brother Joe, you're in trouble.This group of people can't even do anything to the foreigners, so you better run away. ”Xu Shou lay down his thighs and sighed helplessly, shaking his head with tears in his eyes."
Brother Xu, what is there to be afraid of, Lang Lang Qiankun, I don't believe that they can still cover the sky with one hand.What is their origin, why are they bothering you" Qiao Zhiqing calmly comforted Xu Shou, helped him into the room, and sat down on the chair.Xu Shou let out a long groan, and sweat beads fell on the table in pain, obviously the injury just now was not light."
Old man, you're all right, don't scare me."
Mrs.
Xu looked at Xu Shou lying on the table in pain, and cried out anxiously, and hurriedly squatted on the ground and rubbed Xu Shou's stomach.Xu Jianyin also stood aside anxiously, but he was at a loss and didn't know what to do."
Childe, what's wrong" Huang Feihong called Liang Kuan and Lin Shirong over at this time out of the alley, took out the shell gun from the carriage, and brought enough bullets, just in case.Liang Kuan and Lin Shirong asked anxiously as soon as they entered the door."
It's okay, Feihong, show Brother Xu, he doesn't seem to be lightly injured."
Qiao Zhiqing replied calmly, and hurriedly beckoned Huang Feihong to show Xu Shou.He studied medicine with his father Huang Qiying since he was a child, and he studied medicine very much.Huang Feihong nodded, walked over, put his fingers on Xu Shou's wrist and closed his eyes."
It's no big deal, Daddy Xu is weak, he was kicked just now, his blood was shocked, take some supplements, and rest for a while."
Huang Feihong stood up and slowly breathed a sigh of relief."
The old man is fine, this old bone can't die.Brother Qiao, you better go quickly, the old man doesn't want to bother you. ”Xu Shou eased his spirit, finally gritted his teeth and straightened up, and persuaded Qiao Zhiqing painfully."
Brother Xu, what are you talking about?
At the beginning, you took good care of me in Anqing, but now that you are in trouble, how can I let you go. ”Qiao Zhiqing rejected Xu Shou with a serious face, sat down beside him, and asked suspiciously, "Brother Xu, who were those people just now, how could you offend them" "Hey, we can't hide, where do you dare to offend people." ”Xu Shou wailed, and cried silently."
Uncle Qiao, those people just now belong to the Shanghai Little Knife Society, and they like to bully the poor.The tenants in the alley have to pay them the protection money on time every month, and if they don't, they will punch and kick the tenants.A few days ago, some people were beaten to death, and they packed them in sacks and threw them into the Huangpu River, and nothing happened. ”Xu Jianyin finally scolded angrily."
Presumptuous, it's so lawless."
Qiao Zhiqing suddenly stretched out his hand and slapped it on the table, and the majestic momentum startled everyone in the room.At this moment, there was a sudden sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping in the alley, Qiao Zhiqing hurriedly ordered Mrs.
Xu and Xu Jianyin to help Xu Shou up to the second floor, and he and Huang Feihong stood in the courtyard to deal with it.The courtyard door was kicked open with a loud bang, and from outside the door, one after another, tall men with heavy blades in their hands.The young man who shouted five and six just now finally appeared, still covering his crooked face with his hands, bending over and following behind a woman, squinting at Qiao Zhiqing and Huang Feihong arrogantly.The woman was as big as Yan Minxia, her head was wrapped in a red scarf, her face was dusty, and she was heroic.Carrying an oxtail long knife in his hand, he stood in the courtyard with murderous eyes and stared coldly at Qiao Zhiqing.Soon, more than a dozen people rushed up from behind her, surrounding Qiao Zhiqing and the four of them left and right, but what they were holding was a foreigner's spear
