Burning

Chapter 073 Dust Woman

"What are you doing?" Zhou Charter raised his head from the book, but saw Guo Erjian looking like he wanted to stop talking.

Zhou Charter shouted, "If you have something to say, when did you become so unpleaty, unlike our Zhangjun brother!"

Guo Ershuan laughed and said, "Brother, since I follow the rules of the Zhang Jun brothers, I will say it."

"If you fart!"

"Brother, how much money do we have?" Guo Er pole asked.

Zhou Charter opened the drawer, grabbed a handful of shattered silver, and handed it to Guo Erpole: "Well, that's all. If you want to use it, take it all."

Guo Erpa took over and counted it and said bitterly, "Brother, there are only ten oceans. Is that all?"

Zhou Charter reached out and touched the drawer again and took out two copper plates: "There are still two corners here. Take it all."

Guo Er pole held the money and said with a depressed face: "This is not enough."

Zhou Charter put down his book and shouted, "Well, Guo Erpole, these money, you are just going into the Dale Gate and holding a woman for a night. That's fucking enough. What's the matter? Do you still want to wrap them down?"

Guo Erzhuan really wanted to go whoring, but Zhou Charter did not object. This boy was born and died with Zhou Charter. Until now, he is still a scout. He has never tasted the taste of women. When he came to the world of Shanghai, he saw those goblin-like women and wanted to open a foreign meat.

"Brother, what do you think of me?" Guo Erpao was a little aggrieved.

"Then why do you want so much money?"

"Brother, I know a woman." Guo Erbar is a little embarrassed.

"It's still." Zhou Charter scolded: "You go to sleep all night. This money is enough. If you want to wrap it down, I advise you to die. In the future, I will help you marry a good girl."

Guo Er pole jumped his feet in a hurry: "Brother, conscience of heaven and earth, I, Guo Er pole, don't want to sleep with her. I haven't even touched her hand."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"Brother, that woman's name is Yao Xiaofeng, and she is from northern Jiangsu. Xiaofeng, like us, has just arrived in Shanghai. She lived in a house in the lane opposite the Sitong Inn. The man died of tuberculosis. She dragged a three-year-old girl, a woman's family, and had to raise children and pay the rent. It was really difficult, so she had to go to Dalemen to be a dancer. She was hugged and touched by men all day long. It was pitiful.

Zhou Charter shook his head and sighed, "Poor is pitiful, but it's not your turn to be pitiful. Aren't you still pulling a yellow cart!"

In Shanghai, such dusty women are everywhere. If you feel sorry for them one by one, it is not enough for you to have millions of property.

Guo Erpole said, "Brother, that woman is really righteous. Her house is not far from us. On the way, she takes my car every night. She doesn't take other people's cars, and she has to wait for my car. Moreover, always give me more money. She said, we are all foreigners. It's not easy in Shanghai. Let's help each other."

Zhou Charter smiled and said, "I said that when you come back every night, you have a smell on your body, and your feelings are fragrant! This woman is really interested in you."

"If you don't care, let's not think about it. Anyway, it won't be long before we go to Fuzhou and leave Shanghai, and this fate will be over." Guo Er pole sighed, "It's just that Xiaofeng is in trouble now."

"What's so difficult?"

"Her daughter is sick and has a high fever. I came back late today to help her take her child to the church hospital. The doctor said it might be tuberculosis.

"Pulmonary tuberculosis!" Zhou Charter was shocked. In the Qing Dynasty at the end of the 19th century, tuberculosis was equivalent to a terminal disease. However, after entering the church hospital run by Westerners, there are modern medical methods and Western medicine, which should be able to be saved, but the cost is quite high: "Do you want money for this?"

"Yes, big brother." Guo Er pole said.

Zhou Charter thought for a moment and picked up the pocket watch on the table: "Take this as a fool."

"Brother, this is given to you by Empress Zhenfei."

"If it hadn't been given by Zhenfei, I wouldn't have given it to you." Zhou Charter said, "This thing is valuable. It should be no problem to be a few hundred taels of silver."

Guo Erpole was still hesitating. Zhou Charter scolded, "Why do you look like a bitch? I think you have been infected by Yao Xiaofeng and become like a woman!" If you want, take her with you when you go to Fuzhou.

"Thank you, brother!" Guo Erwan didn't hesitate any more. He picked up his pocket watch and sighed, "I want to take her away, but I don't know if she wants to."

"If she doesn't want to, tie her up!" Zhou Charter shouted, "Guo Erchao, I saw that when you arrived at Shanghai, you would fucking have lost our Zhangjun's courage!"

Yes! Big brother!" Guo Erba was energetic: "Bry this woman away!"

Early the next morning, Guo Erbar went out with his pocket watch. At noon, he ran back happily. As soon as he entered the door, he put a burden in front of Zhou Charter, shaking the table from side to side.

"Brother, guess how much is that pocket watch?" Guo Er pole blinked his eyes and asked.

"A hundred yuan in the ocean?" Zhou Charter stretched out a finger.

Guo Erzhuan said, "I went to the City God Temple early this morning, found a pawnshop, handed in my pocket watch, and asked me how much it was. I think Xiaofeng's child would cost at least 200 yuan to see a doctor. In addition, Xiaofeng's living expenses these days are about 300 yuan. So, I stretched out three fingers.

"300 yuan ocean! You are a wrongdoer!" Zhou Charter scolded.

Guo Erbar nodded: "The shopkeeper really didn't do it. He stretched out a finger."

"A hundred yuan is also appropriate." Zhou Charter nodded.

Guo Erbar said, "I think I always have to pay the child's medical expenses, so I stretched out two fingers."

Zhou Charter shook his head: "Would you like to be the shopkeeper?"

"Yes! Willing!" Guo Erman said, "The shopkeeper nodded and didn't talk nonsense. He took away his pocket watch. After a while, a little guy came out and gave him 2,000 yuan."

"Two thousand yuan!" Zhou Charter was shocked. In the Qing Dynasty at the end of the 19th century, although clocks and watches were still luxury goods, they were not rare. Most high-ranking officials and rich merchants could afford to buy them. Although they were very expensive, they were not as expensive as pearls. Two thousand yuan, you can buy authentic Hetian jade!

"What a two-thousand ocean!" Guo Erba said, "Brother, that little guy must have made a mistake and regarded 200 yuan as 2,000 yuan. Damn, I'm lucky! I was afraid that the boy would be confused, so I took the money and went out of the pawnshop and ran to the hospital. He left 500 yuan for Xiaofeng and quickly ran back. Brother, 1,500 yuan is here. You keep it first.

Zhou Charter opened the burden and was more carefully. It was really 1,500 yuan. He was puzzled and frowned: "Guo Erpa, if the pawnshop's little guy makes a mistake so easily, the pawnshop can still be opened until now! The shopkeeper's two fingers are 2,000!"

Guo Erzhen thought for a moment and shook his head and said, "Brother, do you mean that this pocket watch is really worth 2,000 oceans?"

Zhou Charter does not say anything, and the pocket watch is not worth 2,000 yuan. He doesn't know that he has no research on luxury goods.

"How is Yao Xiaofeng's child?" Zhou Charter asked.

Guo Er pole laughed and said, "The dog's foreign doctor is really a damn good thing. When I sent the child there last night, the child burned like charcoal, closed her eyes and said nonsense. Xiaofeng thought the child was out and cried like a tearful person. How are you today? It is said that the doctor had an injection last night, and the child woke up this morning. He was hungry and wanted to eat.

"That's good." Zhou Charter exhaled and said, "This morning, there is an article in the Declaration that Wu Peifu arrived in Changsha, Hunan Province yesterday. He was an anti-Japanese hero. Hunan gentry welcomed him 50 miles to welcome him. There are tens of thousands of people in empty alleys in Changsha, and the people welcome him. I estimate that Wu Peifu will stay in Changsha for two or three days and then leave for Fuzhou for more than a week at most. Second shot, let's get ready. I want to leave tomorrow and go to Fuzhou.

"Okay, big brother!" Guo Erbar said, "Then I'll go to the hospital quickly."

Zhou Charter nodded: "Second pole, I think Yao Xiaofeng is a little interested in you. Although she is a dancer, as long as she has good character, it's nothing. I'm not as sour as Wu Peifu. However, the current situation between you and me is very embarrassing. It's really inconvenient to go to Fuzhou with women and children for more than a thousand miles.

"Brother, I understand!" Guo Erpole said, "I, Guo Erpole, followed my eldest brother and pinned my head to my trousers belt. I don't know one day it will be gone. If Xiaofeng follows me, I'm afraid of hurting her. Guo Er pole sighed, "Brother, people like us should not have a wife. Qiao'er sister-in-law married you and didn't live a safe life."

Zhou Charter was sad and lowered his head and sighed: "Two shots, we can't use so much money. Take out 200 yuan to do our entanglement, and leave the rest to Yao Xiaofeng."

"Thank you, brother!"

"Thank you for your fart!" Zhou Charter scolded, "Yao Xiaofeng is not your wife!"

Guo Er pole took the ocean and hurried out of the inn.

Zhou Charter is busy packing up and saluteing in the room. In fact, there is nothing else. It's all books, and four suitcases have been collected. Zhou Charter asked the four-way clerk to hire two footmen and agreed to leave at six o'clock tomorrow morning.

In the evening, Zhou Charter ate something casually and waited for Guo Erbar in the room. After twelve o'clock, I haven't seen Guo Erpa.

Zhou Charter is not in a hurry. Guo Erjian and Yao Xiaofeng are obviously eye-to-eye. I'm afraid that they will never see each other again. Tonight, life and death will naturally be lingering.

In the vast sea of people, this kind of fate has also been cultivated for thousands of years.

At 2 a.m., Zhou Charter was still reading and suddenly heard a knock on the door outside.

Zhou Charter was surprised that Guo Erpole never knocked on the door when he came back. This boy had the key.
