Chapter 172 Kong Xiu is dead
The terrible thing about learning is that he can turn a gangster into a daunting morally learned man in an instant.
Kong Xiu put on that blue shirt, simply tied a bun on his head, and paired it with his ancient face and standard phoenix eyes, no one could associate him with the liberal who had been sleeping with many prostitutes last night.
His palms were big, his fingers were slender and white, especially when these hands grabbed the brush, they could even fascinate a group of people.
Especially those prostitutes who already have skin-friendship, they are even more fascinated by it.
"I see the faint green mountains, there must be streams surging, clear springs rumbling on the stone slabs, and where the fallen leaves fall are the destination of my soul..."
Kong Xiu, who was ignorant of beauty, quickly drew a green mountain, a flowing spring, and a thin scholar on the drawing paper, lying on the stone slab covered with clear water, as if he was sleeping peacefully, or as if he had died..."
The fatigue brought by the madness of last night 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 exchanged for what I wanted. Without soul, I was like a person without clothes. Whether it was open or shame, it had nothing to do with me.
I am just a passerby in the world, a passerby in life like a mayfly.
My body is smelly, but my soul is fragrant.”
Kong Xiu whispered, and two butterflies were drawn on the shoulders of the desolate prince on the drawing paper. One fell on his body and refused to leave for a long time, while the other was flying in the air, as if looking for the place with the densest fragrance.
"Young Master is not smelly 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 seemed to be only fifteen or sixteen years old in her arms, and gently kissed her red lips and said, "This painting is for you..."
As he spoke, he hugged all the prostitutes present and left with a smile.
Xiaoqing was already a little impatient when she held the two donkeys, and the donkey also had no patience. One end niggled and the other end dived and put her head behind the male donkey's butt.
Today they are going to Yushan City.
"If the two young men want to go to Yushan City, why not take the train or ride a donkey to Yushan City, you will be laughed at. The younger ones can help you buy train tickets."
Turtle slave's flattering smile can easily make people feel the urge to slap.
Although Xiaoqing knew that this guy was coveting his donkey, he still recognized this disguised blackmail. Although he had been a boy under his clan uncle for eight years, he never thought that he was inferior to others.
At some point, he even took pride in his identity.
The two donkeys exchanged 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 was the tall painted dome of the railway station or the train lying on the railway and gasping, it gave him a different feeling.
"Is this the product of the development of things to the extreme?"
The luxurious train station cannot arouse Xiaoqing's praise, but the gasping steel monster lying on the railway still makes Xiaoqing feel almost lost.
"No, this is just the beginning of investigating things, a monster that Yun Zhao evolved from a big teapot. However, this monster created a miracle that human power could not achieve.
With this clear evidence, anyone who underestimates, calculates, investigates things, geometry, and chemistry will eventually be trampled by these knowledge and will never turn over forever."
“I like to investigate things.”
"No, you can't like investigating things. You should like "Political Economics" founded by Yun Zhao. You must also like "Law", "Sociology", and even "Business" must also be involved."
"I also like mathematics, geometry, and chemistry."
"You are not qualified to like these things. Your father sent you to my school. He didn't want you to be a... um... scientist."
The master and apprentice walked through the bustling railway station square and entered the tall railway station waiting room. After a man dressed in black clothes blew a whistle, he entered the platform according to the instructions on the train ticket.
The train was right in front of me, dark, emitting a strong smell of oil. The white air spout turned into a burst of fine water mist and fell on people's body. It was not hot, but cool.
"Clan, this is the train!"
Kong Xiu looked at Xiaoqing excitedly and nodded, "Yes, this is the legendary train."
"Can he really travel a thousand miles a day and eight hundred miles a night?"
"Of course, as long as there is a railway specially paved for him, it will be possible!"
There were definitely not only the two men watching the train together, but also the two men, Kong Xiu, and grandson, who looked at the steel monster in front of him in horror, and all kinds of strange and strange admiration sounds were heard.
The train driver sitting on the locomotive was no longer surprised by this. He took a sip of strong tea from a canned bottle that looked very delicate, then pulled the whistle, urging these rustlers who had never seen the world to get on the bus quickly, and the departure time was about to come.
“Woo woo woo woo…”
The locomotive was very big and steamy, so the sound was loud enough. The brave young man also jumped up and rode on the clan's body, looking everywhere in horror. He had never heard such a loud sound from close range.
However, compared with others, he is quite calm. Some people are so scared that they cry and call their parents, and even have unbearable people, even peeing.
Kong Xiu was very calm, holding Xiaoqing, looking at the panicked crowd, his face looked ugly.
"This is a warning!"
Kong Xiu said gritting his teeth.
Fortunately, Xiaoqing quickly calmed down, jumped off the clan master, stared at the locomotive for a while, and was dragged by the clan master to find the train number on the train ticket, got on the train, found his seat, and then sat down.
The train started quickly, very smoothly and could not feel much bumpy.
Sitting opposite Kong Xiu was a young black-robed missionary. Now, the black-robed missionary looked at the trees running back quickly outside the window in horror, and drew a cross on his chest.
"Sir, are you a Jesuit missionary?"
A Latin word with a straightforward word rang in Nan Huairen's ears.
Nan Huairen was surprised to find the source of the voice, and finally set her eyes on Kong Xiu, who was smiling at him.
"Sir, you can speak Latin, it makes me feel so happy. Please say a few more words, you know, how happy this is for a wanderer who leaves his hometown."
Nan Huairen spoke fluently in the capital city dialect.
"There is a temple of light on the Jade Mountain. Are you a monk in this temple?"
Kong Xiu continued to use Latin.
Nan Huairen continued to cross his chest and said, "Yes, I am here as an intern priest from Father Johnson Chan. Sir, are you a doctor from Yushan Academy?
I heard that there is a teacher who specializes in teaching Latin in Yushan Academy. Did you learn Latin from Father Johnson Chan?"
Kong Xiu shook his head and said, "No, I am not from Yushan Academy. I learned Latin from Father Maldini. He once lived in my home for two years."
After hearing Maldini's name, Nan Huairen's eyes immediately opened wide, and excitedly grabbed Kong Xiu's hand and said, "My Christ, I am also brought by Father Maldini from Italy. This must be the appearance of the Son so that we can meet."
Kong Xiu smiled and said, "Are there many missionaries coming to the Ming Dynasty?"
Nan Huairen said excitedly: "This is a land of civilization, and it must be a land blessed by Christ. It has a large population and the people are charitable, and it is the best place for missionary preaching.
How can we, the followers of Christ, not spread the glory of Christ on this fertile land?”
Kong Xiu smiled and said, "I hope you can get what you want."
Nan Huairen also smiled and said, "With Christ here, he will definitely get what he wants."
An hour later, the train stopped at Yushancheng Railway Station.
Kong Xiu politely said goodbye to Nan Huairen and walked straight towards a black carriage led by a servant in blue.
Yunqi stood beside the carriage and respectfully invited Kong Xiu and the others to get on the car.
There are almost no carriages that can be directly on the platform. As long as they appear once, they will definitely be big shots. Nan Huairen's destination is Yushan Station, so he needs to change the train and continue his journey.
He stood on the platform and watched Kong Xiu and the others being picked up by the carriage, and was very moved.
"This must be a noble lord."
In the Yun family's inner house, Yun Zhao was still lying on a recliner, Yun Feng was riding on his belly, the father and daughter were whispering intently, and Qian Duoduo walked around in front of the window impatiently.
"You should rest assured that Kong Xiu is here to be a slave to our family this time."
Yun Zhao spit out Yun Wu's hand from his mouth. Seeing Qian Duoduo so anxious, he comforted her.
"Are you sure this Kong Xiu will not put on airs when he comes to our house this time?"
"No, Kong Xiu has already regarded himself as a dead person."
"Since that's the case, why was he so arrogant when he talked to Lingshan before?"
Yun Zhao curled his lips and smiled, "You can hear the arrogance from there? Why, Lingshan and I only heard endless begging from him?"
"Pray?"
"Yes, it's just a plea. This is why Lingshan, who has always been sharp-tongued, does not know him well. His words clearly explained the situation of Kong's family and his use of it.
The reason why I say so clean is that I worry that we will have other worries.
Kong Xiu was not wrong at all. This is their last chance for Kong's family. If you miss this opportunity, the Kong family's lintel will decline quickly."
"Is he really qualified to teach Xian'er?"
Yun Zhao sighed and kissed his daughter and said, "Don't worry about this. Kong Xiu is a rare scholar who is well-educated in Chinese and Western learning!"
