Chapter 172: Kong Xiu is dead

The terrible thing about learning is that he can turn a scoundrel into a formidable man of morality in an instant.

After Kong Xiu put on the green shirt and simply tied a bun on the top of his head, with his clumsy face and standard red phoenix eyes, no one could associate him with the prodigal who slept with many prostitutes last night.

His palms are large, with slender fingers and white skin, especially when these hands grab a paintbrush, they can simply fascinate a group of people.

Especially those prostitutes who already have skin-to-skin relatives are even more fascinated by it.

"When I look at the faint green hills, there must be a stream surging, a clear spring rattling on the stone slabs, and a place where the fallen leaves are scattered, which is the destination of my soul......"

Kong Xiu, who was blind to beauty, soon drew a green mountain, a flowing spring, and a thin scholar on the drawing paper, lying on the clear water slab, as if he was sleeping, and as if he had died......"

The exhaustion caused by last night's madness fell on Kong Xiu's face at this moment, but it turned into loneliness, deep loneliness.

"Just yesterday, I sold my soul to the powerful and got what I wanted, and without my soul, like a man without clothes, whether it is openness or shame, it has nothing to do with me.

I'm just a passer-by in the world, a passer-by like a mayfly.

My flesh stinks, but my soul is fragrant. ”

Kong Xiu whispered, oh, and drew two butterflies on the shoulders of the down-and-out son on the drawing paper, one landed on his body for a long time and refused to leave, and the other flew in the air, as if looking for the most dense fragrance.

"Childe doesn't stink at all."

A big-eyed prostitute buried her head between Kong Xiu's shoulders and neck, took a deep breath, and said with a smile.

Kong Xiu looked at the prostitute who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old in her arms, and gently kissed her on the red lips and said, "This painting is for you......"

As he spoke, he hugged all the prostitutes in the room, and then left with a smile.

Xiaoqing was already a little impatient with the two donkeys, and the donkeys were also impatient, one neighed irritably, and the other diligently put his head to the butt of the male donkey. strand back.

Today they are going to Yushan City.

"If the two sons are going to Yushan City, why don't they take the train, they will be laughed at if they ride a donkey to Yushan City, and the younger one can help the two of them buy train tickets."

The turtle slave's flattering smile can easily make people feel the urge to slap him.

Although Xiaoqing knew that this guy was coveting his donkey, however, he still recognized this disguised blackmail, although he had been a boy under his uncle for eight years, he never thought that he was inferior to others.

At some point, he was even proud of his identity.

The two donkeys exchanged for two train tickets to Yushan, although they suffered a little, Kong Xiu was still shocked by the grand scene here after entering the train station.

Whether it is the tall painted dome of the railway station, or the train lying on the railway, snorting and panting, it all gave him a different feeling.

"This is the product of the extreme development of Gewu?"

The luxurious train station can't arouse Xiaoqing's admiration, but the panting steel monster lying on the railway still makes Xiaoqing feel almost distracted.

"No, this is just the beginning of Gewu, a monster that Yun Zhao evolved from a big teapot, but it is this monster that has created miracles beyond the reach of manpower.

With this proof, anyone who underestimates arithmetic, physics, geometry, and chemistry will eventually be trampled under these knowledge, and will eventually not be able to turn over. ”

"I like Gewu."

"No, you can't like Gewu, you should like "Political Economy" founded by Yun Zhao, you must also like "Law", like "Sociology", and even "Business" should also dabble."

"I also like arithmetic, geometry, and chemistry."

"You don't have the right to like these things, your father didn't want you to be a ...... when he sent you to my door Forehead...... Scientist. ”

The master and apprentice walked through the bustling railway station square, entered the tall railway station waiting hall, and after a man in black clothes blew a whistle, he followed the instructions on the train ticket and entered the platform.

The train was in front of me, black, exuding a strong smell of grease, and the white gas that spewed out turned into bursts of fine mist, falling on people's bodies, not hot, cool and cool.

"Patriarch, this is the train!"

Kong Xiu looked at Xiao Qing excitedly and nodded, "Yes, this is the legendary train." ”

"Can he really travel thousands of miles in a day and eight hundred in a night?"

"Of course, as long as there is a railway specially laid for him, it will do!"

The people who watched the train together were definitely not only Kong Xiu's grandfather and grandson, but more people looked at the steel monster in front of them in horror, and let out all kinds of strange exclamations from their mouths.

The train driver sitting on the locomotive was no longer surprised by this, took a big sip of strong tea from a very delicate-looking canned bottle, and then pulled the whistle, urging these turtles who had never seen the world to get on the train quickly, and the departure time was approaching.

"Woo woo woo ......"

The locomotive was very big and there was a lot of steam, so the sound was loud enough, and the bold man who was as bold as Xiaoqing was also frightened to jump up, riding on the patriarch's body, looking around in horror, he had never heard such a loud sound up close.

However, compared to others, he is still calm, and some people are so frightened that they cry for their fathers and mothers, and even more unbearable, and even pee.

Kong Xiu was very calm, holding Xiaoqing, looking at the panicked crowd, his face was ugly.

"It's a dismount!"

Kong Xiu gritted his teeth.

Fortunately, Xiaoqing quickly calmed down, jumped off the patriarch's body, stared at the locomotive fiercely for a while, and was dragged by the patriarch to find the train car number on the train ticket, get on the train, find his seat and sit down.

The train was up and running quickly, it was smooth and didn't feel much bumps.

Sitting across from Kong Xiu was a young black-robed missionary, who was now looking out the window in horror at the trees running backwards at a rapid pace, while drawing a cross on his chest.

"Sir, are you a Jesuit missionary?"

A straight Latin sentence sounded in Nan Huairen's ears.

Nan Huairen looked for the source of the sound in surprise, and finally locked his eyes on Kong Xiu, who was smiling at him.

"Sir, I am so blessed that you can speak Latin, please say a few more words, you know what happiness it is for a wanderer who has left his homeland."

Nan Huairen is fluent in Beijing dialect.

"There is a Hall of Light on the Jade Mountain, are you a monk in this temple?"

Kong Xiu continued to use Latin.

Nan Huairen continued to draw a cross on his chest and said, "Yes, I am here to be a trainee priest with Father John Tang, sir, are you a doctor from Yushan Academy?"

I heard that there is a teacher at Yushan Academy who specializes in teaching Latin, did you learn Latin from Father John Tong? ”

Kong Xiu shook his head and said, "No, I am not from Yushan Academy, my Latin was studied with Father Maldini, and he lived in my house for two years. ”

After Nan Huairen heard Maldini's name, his eyes immediately widened, and he excitedly took Kong Xiu's hand and said: "My Christ, I was also brought from Italy by Father Maldini, and it must be the apparition of the Holy Son that allows us to meet." ”

Kong Xiu smiled: "Are there many missionaries who come to Daming?" ”

Nan Huairen said excitedly: "This is a civilized place, and it must be a place blessed by Christ, where the population is large, the people are charitable, and it is the best place to preach.

How can we, the followers of Christ, not sow the glory of Christ on this fertile land? ”

Kong Xiu smiled: "I hope you can get your wish." ”

Nan Huairen also smiled: "With Christ, you will definitely get your wish." ”

An hour later, the train stopped at Yushancheng Railway Station.

Kong Xiu politely said goodbye to Nan Huairen, and walked straight to a black carriage under the leadership of a servant in Tsing Yi.

Yun Qi stood on the side of the carriage and respectfully invited Kong Xiu and the two to get into the carriage.

There are almost no carriages that can directly on the platform, as long as they appear once, they must be greeted by big people, and Nan Huairen's destination is Yushan Station, so he needs to change trains to continue his journey.

He stood on the platform and watched Kong Xiu and the two being picked up by the carriage, and he was very emotional.

"This must be an honorable lord."

In the Yun family's inner house, Yun Zhao was still lying on a recliner, Yun Qi was sitting on his belly, the father and daughter were talking about small words, and Qian Duoduo was walking around in front of the window impatiently.

"You should rest assured, Kong Xiu is here to be a slave to our family this time."

Yun Zhao spit Yun Xuan's hand out of his mouth, and when he saw that Qian Duoduo was so anxious, he comforted her.

"Are you sure this Kong Xiu won't put up a fight when he comes to our house this time?"

"No, Kong Xiu already thinks of himself as a dead man."

"In that case, why was he so arrogant when he talked to Ling Shan before?"

Yun Zhao pouted and smiled: "Where did you hear the arrogance? Why, Ling Shan and I only heard endless pleading from his mouth? ”

"Pleading?"

"That's right, it's a pleading, this is also the reason why Lingshan, who has always been sharp-tongued, doesn't have the same knowledge as him, and his words make Kong's situation clear, and he also makes his own usefulness clear.

The reason why I want to say it so cleanly is because I am afraid that we will have other worries.

Kong Xiu is not wrong at all, this is their Kong's last chance, if this opportunity is missed, Kong's lintel will decline rapidly. ”

"Is he really qualified to teach Xian'er?"

Yun Zhao sighed, kissed his daughter and said, "Don't worry about this, this Kong Xiu is a rare person who has learned both Chinese and Western!" ”
