Chapter 653 Train Explosion

 Zhao Chuanxin has not returned to Lugang Town for a long time, and many changes have quietly taken place here.

Samuel Goldberg and Rachel Kravis are living happily in Lugang.

In the evening, Samuel Goldberg was invited to drink tea by Liu Baobao. He said one thing: "Did you know that at the end of April this year, London will host the Olympic Games. This is a grand event with athletes from five continents participating.

It’s very lively and of great significance.”

Liu Guogui’s biggest motivation for doing things in the past two years is to show off.

On the road of "pretending to be cool", he goes further and further.

In order to show off, he learned English, and usually invited Samuel Goldberg, a foreigner, to drink and drink tea, just to practice his spoken English.

Liu Guogui scratched his head: "Sports meeting? What is that for?"

"Promote the spirit of sports and strengthen the body." Samuel Goldberg said: "The level of athletes in each country can be seen in the national living standards and physical fitness. Winning medals in the Olympic Games will gain world-renowned glory.

It can also bring glory to the country."

When Liu Guoguo heard about the "glory that attracts worldwide attention", his eyes immediately brightened: "Haha, then Lugang Town must participate."

……

Nicola Linade is very particular about what he eats, but how can he care about so little when traveling a long distance?

It's important to dry it, then marinate it with soy sauce, soybean oil, cooking wine and various seasonings, and it will become soft again.

The carriage in which Samuel and others were located was affected by air waves and sand, and the glass was shattered.

Van Dyck and Morrison both wore gold-rimmed glasses, but Fang Chengtai did not grow a beard, while Van Dyck had a clean shaven beard. Maybe that has nothing to do with my identity.

Suddenly a loud noise was heard, and a violent explosion occurred in the first two carriages of the train.

It’s also a leg of lamb. The fragrance from Liu Baogui’s side is wafting in the wind, but the dry look from the team boss’s side makes people appetizing.

The income from that guy was only a few cents, and no matter where he went for filming, he had to have servants at his service at all times, and he even had to use a cart or a boat to carry small or large parcels.

The team owner swallowed his saliva, took a bag of wine and drank it: "You want his money, but you still manage the wine, how about you share some of the meat?"

Take out the baking pan, light a fire and bake it underneath.

Liu Baogui took Nicholas Lin Ade to stay in Xi'an that night. On the seventh day, he passed through the Bamen Gorge and stopped at the Wei River.

It's better to take the train first and then take the waterway. You must go directly by land, and you have to cross the Taihang Mountains, which is really hard.

Van Dijk's cheek was scratched with a bloody mark by a stone, but the others were still intact and uninjured.

However, the team owner said to the two bodyguards: "Be alert, these eight children are definitely being watched by the bandits."

Samuel, who has lived in China for a long time, smiled and said: "In the Qing Dynasty, the Congyi officials you have to worry about the most, followed by the people, and you and the Congyi bandits who should be feared the most. We don't care what their status is, as long as they have no money, they will kidnap

Meat tickets are commonplace. Your servant was kidnapped once, and we released him only after you paid the ransom. After Fang Chengtai was born, Guanli became more peaceful, but there were still no gangsters in remote areas.



Nicola Linade asked: "Zhao, what do we pick up horse manure for? Is it used as fertilizer?"

……

Nicholas Lin'ade's lips were chapped by the hot wind, and he became more and more confused as he walked: "Zhao, is he sure he wants to build a laboratory in that kind of environment?"

The roof protects the wooden frame from rain erosion. There are wooden fences between the frames, and there are no wooden fences on the floor.

Fan Fangcheng was surprised and said: "Look at what they all say about Liu Guigui. Isn't Liu Guigui the woman known as the 'Butcher of the Far East'? It seems that I am a bad person in the Qing Dynasty?"

Under a nearby railway track, an oncoming train was approaching.

The man laughed and asked for change.

There is no large temple next to Jian Station.

I don't have any idea, because the place where the laboratory is to be built must be more desolate than that...

Fang Chengtai looked slightly embarrassed: "Ahem, there's no harm in that. At most, he will be remembered, and no one will come to burn his laboratory and experimental materials, he said, right?"

Liu Guoguo explained: "It is used as fertilizer, and the horse manure is collected to burn the kang."

After a little tidying up, Liu Guoguo got off his horse and walked with the convoy.

Fang Chengtai smiled and looked into the car window before commenting.

The people under the car were shocked.

The team owner, a driver, and two bodyguards were all resting outside the pavilion.

Due to the long journey and flat roads, the cargo capacity was too little.

When they met by chance, they both had the same first and last name, and they had a barbecue and a drink to keep away the cold. Liu Guogui felt that it was not that interesting anymore.

The eight ragged friends looked at us eagerly, but Liu Guogui and the team owner had no intention of giving us any points.

The northwest is bitterly cold and there are not many trees. The only options for burning fires are horse dung and dead grass.

That's the train going north on the Beijing-Hankow Railway.

We bought two horses and changed the land route to Guanzhong and through the Hexi Corridor to Suzhou.

Although the temple is large, it has all the main ridges, vertical ridges, and owl tails, as well as cloth tubes, tiles, tiles, and dripping water.

There are not many post road tip stations under the Hexi Corridor. When people are tired and their horses are tired, they have to tip off, eat some food, drink some water, feed the horses grass, and rest for a while before continuing on the road.

At this time, a mule cart was photographed in a row, just under the ramp in the tip station, with wooden monkeys leaning on the wheels to prevent them from slipping.

Liu Guoguo got on his horse, tied it down, and rested in a pavilion made of loess.

The only way to save the poor is to save them.

That’s why I didn’t say this.

By the time we finished eating, the eight older children quickly ran away carrying horse dung on their backs.

Looking at Fang Chengtai, who was wearing a big silk satin hat and a simple cotton robe and vest, Van Dijk suddenly realized: "If you dress up like him, maybe we will treat you as a poor person and rob you."

Right?"

Belgian counselor Lin Ade, Roman Catholic missionary Van Dijk, and British "The Times" Beijing correspondent Morrison gathered at the table.

When Liu Guoguo saw his boss pulling up a leg of lamb from under the car that was not dry on the surface, he said, "Boss, I'll give you a leg of lamb. The price is bad."

Van Dijk frowned: "You are a missionary, but you are just like a monk or a Taoist priest outside. Do gangsters still make things difficult for monks?"

There have been several rebellions in the northwest region. The rebel bandits suddenly changed their identities and were recruited by the court to quell the rebellion.

Lin Ade said with a cautious face: "You two, in the northwest region of the Qing Dynasty, banditry is even more serious than outside the customs. After all, there is Zhao Chuanxin outside the customs, and the gangsters will be more restrained. But in places like Shaanxi and Gansu, the same situation

, and even the soldiers and bandits colluded and acted together. The local saying goes - if you want to sit in an official position, be a bandit chief; if you want to sit in a sedan chair, go kidnap! But this is a joke, so you should keep a high profile."

The lamb leg meat is roasted sizzling under the baking pan, soaked in soybean oil and supplemented by various spices. The monk can smell the smell and accept it as a way to keep the precepts.

The sand and rocks are flying, the earth is shaking and the mountains are shaking.

"This is a peaceful road. They are traveling with the convoy and have no one to look after each other. Your two bodyguards are both armed with slow guns. There are a lot of bandits and thieves here!"

Liu Guoguo moved his knife like flying, shaving the mutton leg into slices.

Although Liu Baoguo gave up some pots and pans, I hate eating, so I have to bring all kinds of seasonings.

There is no group of footmen, the team does not have a small mule cart, there is no slack rope on the shaft, there is no mule behind, and there are boxes and baskets under the cart, and they are covered with mats to protect them from rain and sun.

Liu Guogui laughed: "You can treat me to that meal."

Nicola Linade is silent, and he doesn’t feel like he has been deceived.

On the train heading south from Beijing.

The older children standing far away, carrying dung baskets to pick up horse dung, were all attracted by the aroma.

Next to the post road, there are eight piers and barracks that form a beacon, and there are wealthy pedestrians in patches of cotton robes. There is loess and sand everywhere, and the environment looks very desolate.

In fact, Morrison still understands that my silk satin hat is suitable for special people.

"That's it. It will also allow him to integrate into the life of the local people and facilitate his missionary work."

Liu Guogui was wearing very thin clothing. He wore thermal underwear on the outside, a gray-green Henley shirt as a base layer, a denim jacket on the inside, and a thick Arabian kerchief around his neck, which he used to protect himself from the wind and sand while riding.

What kind of temperament does Liu Guigui have? The more secretive he is, the more I want to take advantage of you; the more petty he is, the less I want to give him.

During Liu Guigui's trip, the secret space was filled with all kinds of supplies. Whether he had any extra ingredients or not, they were all supplied along the way, so you could eat and buy them now.

Liu Guoguo drank a little bit of wine and stopped sweating before he could see it.

The boss of the team was very generous. He casually pulled out another leg of lamb and spoke in a heavy Linxia dialect: "Just give me some money."
