"When he was six years old, he suffered from a serious illness. The illness was cured, but it was a pity that he could no longer hear." Qin Guangcheng nodded to Yang Fangyun and sighed: "Later I heard that Mr. and Mrs. Mei Lishi in Shandong specialize in teaching deaf and mute students.
So I sent him there in the hope that I could make up for it a little bit, and Fang Yun was also able to live up to his expectations, excelling in all subjects and graduating successfully."
Wang Hengyue nodded.
In 1887, American missionaries Mr. and Mrs. Morris came to Dengzhou to establish the "Dengzhou Qidu Academy". This special school for deaf-mute children was the earliest deaf-mute school established in China.
Morris was a missionary of the Northern Presbyterian Church in the United States. He preached in Dengzhou for 34 years. After co-founding China's first school for the deaf and mute "Dengzhou Qidu School" with his step-brother Maynard, he died in 1898.
The school moved to Yantai.
Qin Guangcheng continued: "After the Mei Lishi couple's Qi'an Academy moved to Yantai, he was one of the first batch of graduates from Yantai's Qi'an Academy. There, Fang Yun learned how to read each other's lips and also mastered
Learned a lot of knowledge that normal people know!”
As he said that, he turned his head to Yang Fangyun: "Fang Yun, this is Mr. Wang Hengyue Wang, who is about to go to Leshan to serve as an officer in the new army. Although you are disabled, you also have ambitions. If you stay here for a long time, I am afraid that it will delay your future.
, you go to Leshan with Mr. Wang. Although Mr. Wang is not as young as you, he is talented in literature and military skills, and he will surely stand out sooner or later. If you stay with him, you may also be able to have a bright future. You are not worthy of your master's entrustment.
Give it to me. Don't treat Captain Wang with the courtesy of the Lord, and don't slack off for a day!"
He said this very slowly in order for Yang Fangyun to understand it completely. Yang Fangyun didn't say a word and nodded silently.
This meal was regarded as a parting drink, and several of them got drunk. When they woke up the next morning, Wang Hengyue's head was still a little dizzy.
Qin Guangcheng and Yang Fangyun had been waiting in the living room. By the time Wang Hengyue and Peter arrived, Qin Guangcheng had prepared everything they needed on the way.
All the way to the Chengdu city gate, Qin Guangcheng repeatedly warned him that if he didn't get along well in the army, he must remember to come back. Then he reluctantly waved goodbye.
Qin Guangcheng prepared three horses for them. Wang Hengyue had never ridden a horse before, and it took a lot of effort to get on a horse. Peter and Yang Fangyun were very familiar with riding, and they didn't bother at all. Seeing Wang Hengyue like this, they didn't
strangeness.
After riding for a short distance, a man suddenly appeared from the side of the road, waving urgently: "Master Wang, stay! Master Wang, stay!"
Wang Hengyue didn't react for a while, but after a while he realized that "Master Wang" was probably calling him. He reined in his horse and saw that it was the shameless scholar Yu Lei who came!
"Sir Wang, the medical staff would like to greet you." Yu Lei knelt on the ground as soon as he came up, kowtowed to Wang Hengyue several times respectfully, and then stood up.
"Why are you here?" Wang Hengyue was very surprised.
"The birth attendants have been waiting for you since last night."
"Last night? What were you waiting for me here for?" Wang Hengyue was at a loss.
Yu Lei's answer must be respectful: "Yesterday, the students saw Mr. Wang, Qin Guangcheng and Du Charlie entering the official office led by Ye Du. They thought that now they have to organize and train a new army. Looking at Mr. Wang's appearance, he must have returned from the West.
The new army is short of talents like you, and when I saw you and shopkeeper Qin, Du Zhali came out with a spring breeze on his face, so I expected that your master must have sent an envoy to you."
Wang Hengyue was attracted by what he said. This man's observation ability was not ordinary: "Then what?"
"Then the student officer thought that my newly trained army currently has a training battalion and is stationed in Leshan. Ye Duling is only responsible for training the troops. If he is released, he will be placed in the Leshan Army. Therefore, the student officer is here to wait for your arrival.
."
This man is really quite capable, Wang Hengyue thought to himself.
No matter how shameless this person is, not everyone has the ability to observe and judge. He could guess Wang Hengyue's future clearly just by relying on observation!
Wang Hengyue looked him up and down: "Then why are you looking for me?"
Yu Lei lowered his hands and replied: "There is no place for the students to go. In Chengdu, people are really disgusted by the gods and ghosts, and no one is willing to take in the students..."
"You are very self-aware." Wang Hengyue said with a smile.
"Exactly, the most important thing in being a human being is self-awareness." Yu Lei was not angry at all: "Master Wang took pity on the students that day and gave them a way to survive. I also asked Master Wang to show mercy again and lead the students to join the army."
Wang Hengyue never expected that he would make such a request: "Do you want to join the army with me?"
"Your Majesty, you are wise! The students can write, abacus, and take care of groceries. You can give me money or not. You can get a cheap accounting office and helpers, why not?" Yu Lei said these words.
He said with a serious face: "Furthermore, if you take in a student, the student must respect you as much as you honor your biological parents. If you scold me, the student will be honored; if you hit me, the student will be honored, so I will treat him as a child."
Be your godson."
I'm afraid there is no more shameless person in the world than Yu Lei!
This man was already in his thirties, much older than Wang Hengyue, but he regarded Wang Hengyue as his biological father, and all his purpose was just to earn a living.
"You are thick-skinned, very thick-skinned!" Peter yelled, unable to listen anymore.
"Your Excellency is as thick-skinned as I am." Yu Lei said calmly: "In order to earn a living, aren't you just as shameless as to go to Ye Duling's place all day long?"
"You, shameless..." Peter was furious. His Chinese was half-baked, how could he say anything to Yu Lei? He was so angry that he could only call Yu Lei "shameless" over and over again.
Wang Hengyue looked at Yu Lei's shameless look and shook his head. He was about to refuse, but suddenly Yang Fangyun pulled him and whispered: "This man, if you want it, it will be useful."
Wang Hengyue looked at Yang Fangyun and thought for a moment. Indeed, in this era, such a shameless person might really come in handy:
"Yu Lei, this name is weird, Torpedo?" Wang Hengyue muttered to himself, and then said: "In that case, just follow me. I will tell you what to do specifically when I get to the army."
"Your Majesty, you are wise!" Yu Lei was not happy at all: "The students can ride on the same horse as this foreign devil."
"No, no! Never, never!" Pete shouted loudly. Unfortunately, Wang Hengyue over there had already nodded, but Mr. Pete had no control over it.
Wang Hengyue felt absurd, who was he? What kind of people did he lead? A deaf man, a foreigner, and a shameless scholar, could this be considered his team to join the army?
God knows what kind of trouble this group of people will cause if they go to Leshan!
