Chapter 128 Temporary stay

The two of them got together, and Lu Ding said: "Our weakness must be recognized, and others' strength must be recognized."

All of a sudden, I changed from the house format to the issue of internal and external strength.

Lu Heng said: "I admit the strength of foreigners, but I cannot completely deny everything about us; how can the essence left by things over thousands of years be bad?"

He said: "Your mentality is typical inferiority complex. Tao is our temporary weakness because of the fault of our ancestors; isn't that the fault of our descendants? When our ancestors were strong, Western barbarians were still savages; now that the West is strong, you feel that everything is wrong in your family, and I think you are wrong."

Lu Ding blushed: "If it weren't for the mistake, why would he be bullied by others if he was weak?!"

Lu Heng sneered: "Up or down, there are common things. The world is shaky, and great men will turn the tide. It is a historical necessity to highlight China! Our civilization is not wrong, it is just a few supplements that have been ignored in the past; we Chinese are not stupid either. We have smart wisdom, but are just imprisoned by this era. Once the shackles are broken, we will naturally usher in glory. If you don't believe me, wait!"

Lu Ding snorted: "Wait, wait!"

But he was so angry that he was fighting.

Lu Heng said: "If you don't believe it, just make a bet. Didn't you talk about electric lights and phone calls? I'll make it out in my house sooner or later, and I'll ask you to see it when the time comes! Not only do I have to make it out, but I also want to make it beyond foreigners, so that you know that foreigners can do everything we can do, and we can do better."

Lu Ding said: "Go and bet! If I lose, I apologize to you!"

But they all laughed.

His wife came out and saw that the two of them were blushing at first, and then laughed at the next moment, and couldn't help but wonder: "Husband, are you..."

Lu Ding waved his hand: "I'm chasing him. This is Lu Heng and Lu Brother."

Lu Henggong bowed: "I have met my sister-in-law's wife."

Stay at Lu Mansion to rest at night.

The next morning, Lu Heng got up early and found a place to punch and kick. Lu Ding got up too late. Seeing Lu Heng punching, he couldn't help but say, "I never thought that my brother could still know how to punch and kick."

Lu Heng stopped his fists and smiled and said, "It's not bad to practice martial arts to strengthen your body. The spirit of civilization and the body of barbarism."

Lu Ding was sure and said strangely: "This is quite reasonable. I want to practice martial arts too."

Then he said, "My dear brother is going to the library to copy books today. I have asked my wife to prepare paper and pen for you."

Lu Heng thanked him and said, "Please trouble Brother Xian."

Lu Ding said excitedly: "It's just a small matter."

The two of them said as they walked, Lu Heng said, "I didn't know what happened when I woke up in the morning."

When Lu Ding heard this, he sighed: "The child's illness suddenly broke out, so I'm sending him to the doctor."

Lu Heng was stunned: "Brother Xian has all children?"

Lu Ding sighed lightly and said, "This is my sixth child... Somehow, I can't raise it all the time... You go to have a meal first, I'll take you there, and I have to wait at the doctor."

It turned out that Lu Ding got married early and was in love with his wife, so he had already given birth to a child. Unfortunately, he was not supported. Now it is the sixth one, and the first five have all died prematurely.

The oldest one is never two years old.

After hearing this, Lu Heng pondered for a moment and said, "If Brother Xian believes in me, you might as well bring the child back and let me show you."

Lu Ding was stunned, then suddenly realized: "I heard from my brother yesterday that I also found medical books. It seems that my brother knows medical skills!"

Just medical skills, Lu Heng doesn’t know how to do it. But he has the power to reconcile.

Then he nodded: "You can do that."

He said: "I dare not say that the world is unparalleled. I can probably find a few who can compare to me."

This is modesty.

However, Lu Ding laughed after hearing this: "My dear brother is extremely courageous."

I don't believe it.

He took Lu Heng to the living room for dinner, took his coat, and hurried away.

Lu Ding is a gentleman.

Lu Heng finished his meal slowly and waited for the maid to clean up the dining table, and said to her: "Do you know where your young master is looking for medical treatment?"

The maid said, "I know."

Lu Heng said: "You go and see and ask Brother Lu Dingxian when he will come back. I'll wait for him to bring the child to see the doctor."

The maid didn't understand why, so she just said, "Yes."

Lu Heng was not busy going to the library, and asked the servant to take him to Lu Ding's study. He originally wanted to look at Lu Ding's books, but he saw a pile of newspapers on the table and couldn't help but feel excited.

Pulling a chair, Lu Heng took the newspaper and started reading.

For a moment, a lot of information filled the eyes.

The most common thing in the newspaper is about wars in the north.

This stack of newspapers, from the Boxer Rebellion to the Beijing, to the two days ago, everything important happened.

For example, the Eight-Nation Alliance.

Calculate the time, it was almost the few days when Lu Heng had just arrived in Zaoshan Town, western Ganxi. The first group of coalition forces led by Lieutenant General Seymour of the British Navy landed in Tianjin. They occupied Dagukou at the first time, then entered the railway station, and then fought with the defenders of Tianjin and the Boxer Regiment.

After Lu Heng looked at it, he was stunned for a long time.

This time seems to be different from the time in memory - it was early!

But the specific process and the characters involved have not changed much.

Lu Heng didn't know what he thought in his heart - he had an expectation because it was a huge turning point. Since this incident, the Qing court lost its famous weapon and gradually lost control of the world. This is the premise for the birth of all hopes - because it will no longer be erased and suppressed by the Qing court at will.

But the same anger couldn't help but surge.

This is the land we are!

After a long time, Lu Heng took a deep breath: "The people are numb, the society is dark, and the country is weak... what if it does?"

The attention was once again shifted to the newspapers. The invasion of the Eight-Nation Alliance, the Qing government declared war on the Eight-Nation Alliance at the same time, and the battles between the Boxers and the Eight-Nation Alliance were clearly described.

However, the evaluations and comments in the newspapers are different.

These newspapers are not published in the same newspaper. The descriptions of the same thing and the seats on their butts are different. For example, in a newspaper run by ethnic merchants, they were full of indignation and boycott of the Eight-Nation Alliance, and were full of encouragement and sympathy for the Boxer Rebellion.

A newspaper published by the Jesuits said that the Eight-Nation Alliance brought civilization and many praises! The irony and slander of the Boxers was a pagan and a devil whom God disliked!

When Lu Heng saw those words for foreigners, he couldn't help but want to drag the newspaper editor out of the newspaper and beat him to death!

If most of the news is indignant and helpless, then there is one news that makes Lu Heng tighten it a little.

It is said that Wang Zhengyi, the Boxer Rebellion, led the boxers to fight fiercely with foreigners near the capital, but was defeated and disappeared. Some newspapers also speculated that Wang Zhengyi had been killed in battle or was captured.

For Lu Heng, Lin Heier is one and Wang Zhengyi is one. Especially Wang Zhengyi, Lu Heng admires him very much!

Senior Wang Zhengyi also buried the body for his master, which was kindness. Lu Heng said he wanted to repay him.

Although he supported Wang Zhengyi by relying on the money he received from King Zhan's mansion, he later published more letters; unfortunately, Lu Heng and Wang Zhengyi tended to be drifting apart.

The concepts are slightly different. Lu Heng hopes that Wang Zhengyi can view some things introduced from the Western Yi, such as new technologies; he hopes that he can restrain his subordinates and not harm the people involved.

But I don’t know if it was because Wang Zhengyi could not restrain him or if he did not agree with Lu Heng’s meaning, so I gradually lost contact.

But I saw news about him here.

Lu Heng put down the newspaper, pondered for a while, stood up and walked out.
