Chapter 220 The Great Writer Dies

When Qin Di returned to the Demon City, he met Du Rong and Du Lan again.

The sisters were so happy that they couldn't stop talking: "Thank you, sir, for letting us participate in the Olympics and receive great honors."

Qin Di smiled and said, "This is the result of your own efforts."

Duran said: "Sir, you don't know that when we got off the boat, there were crowds of people on the pier, and many people called my name, and the mountains and tsunamis scared me!"

Du Rong said: "We also met Mrs. Qing and took a photo with her!"

Qin Di smiled and said, "Please hold it! Put a few more camphor under the box and don't get edible by insects."

"Sir, what's the point of leaving a photo?"

"It depends on what you want to do in the future, and it may also involve whom you marry."

"Sir, how can this involve getting married? In the past two days, many people have written letters to us, and some have come to my uncle and want to match us!"

"Haha, men get married when they are old, women get married when they are old. While they are so popular, choose the best man! "

"Sir, we are still young, and we are still a little far from Huajin."

Qin Di said: "Don't worry about that much! I have recently refined a few furnaces of Qi-replenishing pills and given three to each of you. It can help you break through the realm of transformation. If you like someone, you can marry!"

The two sisters looked at each other and said, "Then let's think about it."

They are all 24 years old. In this era, ordinary girls from ordinary families got married at the age of 18, so their parents and family have been urging them. Even their uncle Du Xinwu feels that as a girl's family, they have become an amazing master in the late stage of the hidden power! As for the realm of transformation, they always feel a bit illusory.

Qin Di said again: "I am a master, so I shouldn't have any additional requirements for whom you marry. But I want to show you two paths, completely different paths at both ends."

Du Rong and Du Lan opened their eyes wide and heard Qin Di say something, and were surprised.

Afterwards, the two sisters returned to the army and served as martial arts instructors with the rank of major. As for marriage, they have not been on the agenda yet.

On October 19, 1936, the great writer Zhou Shougen passed away.

Logically speaking, with penicillin and streptomycin, he shouldn't have died so early, but history has its inertia, so he died that day at the age of 55, and died because of the late stage of tuberculosis.

The news of Mr. Zhou's death was spread, which caused condolences throughout China. The funeral committee was composed of well-known figures such as Cai Yuanpei, Shen Junru, Li Gongpu, etc. Tens of thousands of people in the Demon City spontaneously held a grand funeral for him.

On the afternoon of October 21, the funeral procession that participated in Mr. Zhou's funeral ceremony was lined up from Xujiahui to Hongqiao Wanguo Cemetery. The white flag with the words "National Soul" was covered with a sensation. When he arrived at the cemetery of the Wanguo Cemetery, there were crowds of people at the scene, about 20,000 people.

There were 12 coffin carryrs at the Funeral Home of the Wanguo Kingdom, divided into two rows, the two at the front were Li Yaotang (Ba Jin), Lu Digen, and the back were Hu Feng, Cao Bai; Huang Yuan, Zhang Tianyi; Jin Yi, Yao Ke; Wu Langxi, Zhou Wen; Xiao Jun (Tian Jun), Li Liewen.

Cai Yuanpei, Mrs. Sun, Shen Junru and others stood on the platform.

After Cai Yuanpei and Mrs. Sun delivered eulogies one after another, Shen Junru said excitedly: "Gorky died a few months ago, and after his death, the Soviet government was buried in him. Now, for a great writer like Mr. Zhou, our people unanimously requested state funerals, but the government did not care. Today we are buried by ourselves, and the people are all here. I think Mr. Zhou must be willing to do this!"

Doctor Yu said in his article "Mr. Huaizhou": "Nationals without great people are the most pitiful creatures in the world; countries that have great people who do not know how to support, love, and admire are slave countries without hope.

Qin Di also went to the funeral, but he didn't say a word.

Qin Yue felt sad and had no intention of writing an article. Unexpectedly, after Chen Junru finished speaking, he asked her to go up and say a few words. When he was in a hurry, he suddenly heard a voice from his ear: "I have prepared the speech for you and put it in his left pocket!"

Qin Yue reached out and touched, took out a paper crane, opened it and read it out: "Some people are alive, he is dead; some people are dead, he is still alive. Some people ride on the heads of the people: 'Oh, how great I am!' Some people bent down to be a cattle and horse for the people. Some people carve their names into stones, thinking of "immortality"; some people are willing to be weeds, waiting for the fire underground... Those who ride on the heads of the people will smash him; those who make cattle and horses for the people will always remember him! Those who carve their names into stones will rot earlier than the corpse; as long as the spring breeze blows, there are green weeds everywhere..."

While reading, Qin Yue exclaimed from the bottom of his heart: "My brother's talent is unmatched! However, he never showed it in front of others, and I don't know why!"

However, in fact, Qin Di's face was so thick that no one could match. As a reincarnated immortal, he didn't care about killing people and robbing treasures, and he didn't think it was shameful to plagiarize. At most, when he saw Zang Kejia in the future, he would give him a few small yellow croakers to cut off the cause and effect!

Those who came to attend the funeral exclaimed: "After all, they are great poets. A casual poem is a masterpiece of eternal songs!"

"Only such poems can be worthy of Mr. Zhou!"

Xu Guangping walked forward, held Qin Yue's hand, and was very grateful to her: "With this poem of you, sir, can rest in peace."

Qin Yue felt ashamed, but there was no way to explain.

She turned to look at Qin Di, but at some point, her brother had already left quietly.

In early November 1936, Jiang Baili published "On National Defense" in advance, and at the National Defense Conference, he explained his views in front of many generals: China and Japan must have a battle, and I hope the President and the generals will prepare early!

He absorbed Qin Di's dream excuses and pointed out that Japan's attack from north to south will lead to a large area of ​​territory.

The generals present believed it half-believingly, some believed it a little, while others didn't believe it at all.

Mr. Qing believed it in his heart, but he was cold on the surface and did not support Jiang Baili's point of view.

After the meeting, he called Jiang Baili over and blamed him for not saying it in front of everyone, which was so shaking the morale of the army and endless troubles.

Jiang Baili said, "It's too late, war is imminent, I can't help but shout."

As a result, the two parted ways in a bad mood.

Soon, the somewhat alert family in Jiangnan began to move and secretly packed their bags to retreat westward.

All kinds of gossip spread like wildfire.

"Hey, have you heard that? The Japanese pirates are going to get ashore! The world is not peaceful. Some people say that wealthy places such as the Demon City, Jinling, and Hangzhou will fall! Taking advantage of the war before it even begins, prepare for the future, otherwise once the war begins, you will not be able to escape!"

"Who did you hear about it? How is this possible?"

"Each of the six major families in the Republic of China is taking action! The Qin family transfers assets two years in advance; many tribesmen of the Jiang family moved west; the Song family's money houses and enterprises also moved; the Kong family's Construction Bank opened several branches in the west, and the gold and silver from the Magic City and Jinling have been packed and withdrawn west; the Zhang family's large families in Nanxun, half of them went to Chengdu, and the other half guarded the old house and refused to leave... Nanxun Four Elephants, Eight Niu, Seventy Two Dogs, those rich guys, one of them was panic, and whether to leave or stay was still unclear..."

"I heard that the Chen family in Qingtian, the Tang family in Jinhua, Hu Shoushan in Zhenhai, Gu Datong in Lianshui... These generals have abnormal movements in their hometowns... The building is about to collapse, and we will find a way out early..."

During the sensation, Mr. Qing was furious: "My mother, she is in chaos before the battle. How can she fight? The country is weak and internal and external affairs are in trouble. I am not ready yet. Can't I delay it for another year?"
