Chapter 22 Unlucky Master Huang
Chapter 22 Unlucky Master Huang
For a period of time afterwards, Hao Shuai went to Baozhilin every day, practiced martial arts in the morning, studied medicine in the afternoon, and took time to ride bicycles with Aunt Thirteen to take photos. At night, he practiced the Golden Bell Cover Iron Cloth Shirt in his room. Occasionally, he went back to the Night Shift World to collect medicinal materials and asked Nanase Lian and other girls to help him relieve his anger. After all, there was a big beauty hanging around him every day. He could only look at her but not eat her, so he was naturally angry. His life was quite fulfilling.
After a period of study, Hao Shuai learned Huang Feihong's Gongzi Fuhu Fist, Iron Wire Fist, Four Elephants Biaolong Stick and other kung fu. He even started to study the Tiger Crane Double Form Fist. His medical skills also progressed rapidly. Now he can see some simple lesions.
Huang Feihong was very happy with Hao Shuai's progress and encouraged him not to be proud and to continue to work hard.
……
That day, after Hao Shuai finished practicing martial arts, Aunt Thirteen asked Hao Shuai to go to the opera troupe to take photos together. Her good friend Joanna also went with him.
Hao Shuai knew that it was the time when Liang Kuan first met Thirteenth Aunt in the plot, and he agreed to it because he was afraid that Thirteenth Aunt would suffer.
The three of them rode their bicycles to the stage quickly. The stage was set up next to the river and was built in the middle of the river with bamboo. The place was large and could accommodate enough audiences. There was only one simple dock passage, which was convenient for charging. It was far from the shore to avoid people watching the show for free.
The boss of the troupe was very enthusiastic when he saw Thirteenth Aunt and the other two. After knowing Thirteenth Aunt's purpose, he was also close to cooperating. As a place where foreign devils gather, Foshan has a strong ability to accept new things.
This boss is also a worldly person. He knows that cameras are good things. Usually, there is no way to find someone to take pictures. Now Thirteenth Aunt takes the initiative and does not charge money. Of course, he cooperates wholeheartedly.
Just when Thirteenth Aunt was preparing the equipment, Hao Shuai heard some noises coming from the stage. Hao Shuai looked up and saw Liang Kuan on it.
Liang Kuan is simply Thirteenth Aunt's number one licker, but it's a pity that Liang Kuan doesn't know how to lick a dog, and he ends up with nothing.
At this time, Liang Kuan was repairing the roof. When he saw the beautiful face of Thirteenth Aunt who was preparing the equipment, he was immediately fascinated by her. His feet slipped and he fell on the roof and slid down.
"Ah!"
With a pig-like howl, Liang Kuan, who "fell from the sky", rushed straight to Thirteenth Aunt and the camera, and soon hit her head!
It happened in a flash!
Bang!
Hao Shuai, who was next to Thirteenth Aunt, stepped forward and held Thirteenth Aunt's waist with one hand, stepped back, and then kicked Liang Kuan to the stage with a volley.
As Liang Kuan fell, the wooden barrel filled with mud on the roof slid down. Because Hao Shuai had taken Thirteenth Aunt away first, the mud did not splash on Thirteenth Aunt, but splashed on Joanna who came with her.
"Oh, are you okay? Liang Kuan! What happened to you? You can't even repair a roof properly. Do you still want to work?"
Seeing that Liang Kuan had made trouble, the boss immediately sprayed Liang Kuan lying on the ground.
At this time, Liang Kuan saw Thirteenth Aunt from a close distance, staring at her straight, and didn't care about the boss's sarcasm.
"Shaojun, are you okay?"
Hao Shuai asked, although he was not directly attacked, he was still frightened.
"Oh, it's okay, just a little scared, thank you, Ah Shuai."
Thirteenth Aunt also recovered her mood. Seeing Joanna's embarrassing look, Thirteenth Aunt was glad that Hao Shuai saved her, otherwise she would be the same as Anna.
The boss also saw Joanna's embarrassment, so he took Anna to change clothes. As for whether Liang Kuan would run to watch others change clothes as in the plot, it was none of Hao Shuai's business.
Joanna went to change clothes, while Thirteenth Aunt continued to take pictures of the troupe. With Hao Shuai's intervention, everything went smoothly.
…
That day, Hao Shuai came to Baozhilin as usual. As soon as he entered Baozhilin, he saw that Baozhilin was in chaos. After Hao Shuai found Huang Feihong, he was treating an old man. The old man was bleeding and had a blood hole on his right chest. It was obvious that he was shot by a foreign gun.
"Master, what happened to him?"
Hao Shuai asked while helping Huang Feihong after washing his hands.
"He sent vegetables to the wrong ship and was beaten by foreigners as an invader. There are so many foreign ships in the port with various flags. This vegetable vendor couldn't tell the difference between the American flag and the British flag, so he got on the wrong ship and was mistakenly beaten. The capital city is carrying out the Westernization Movement, and we Chinese are the ones who suffer."
When Hao Shuai heard Huang Feihong talk about the vegetable vendor's injury, he knew that the plot was about to begin.
Then, as the plot developed, the next day Huang Feihong found the new admiral Zheng Da Ren and made an appointment with British General Wiggins and American businessman Jackson to meet in a western restaurant, hoping to ask the foreigners for compensation for the vegetable vendor's injury.
Huang Feihong originally planned to take Hao Shuai with him, after all, Hao Shuai could speak foreign languages and was handsome, but Hao Shuai refused directly, saying that he was afraid that he would see the foreigners showing off their power and get angry on the spot like his senior brother Zhu Rourong and beat up the foreigners.
Huang Feihong saw that Hao Shuai said so because he was afraid that Hao Shuai would cause trouble, so he told him to practice martial arts well in Baozhilin, and he took Yacasu and Ling Yunkai to the western restaurant.
…
After lunch, Hao Shuai was reading a medical book in Baozhilin alone. At this time, a brother from the Mintu came to Baozhilin and told Hao Shuai that Zhu Rourong had fought with the brothers from the militia. When Hao Shuai arrived at the western restaurant, the matter was over.
The governor, who had always been unhappy with Huang Feihong for taking in the militia, used this as an excuse to take advantage of the situation and planned to recruit the militia. The militia was required to report to the government office within a time limit, and Huang Feihong had to bear all the losses of the Western Restaurant.
After calculating the losses, the Western Restaurant asked Huang Feihong to compensate more than 200 silver dollars, which was a huge sum of money for Huang Feihong, who was already financially tight. Although Huang Feihong had a Baozhilin, Huang Feihong often did not charge for medical treatment, and he had been supporting a group of militia members. Therefore, Huang Feihong had been unable to make ends meet since he took in the militia.
In the end, it was Hao Shuai who paid the money to help Huang Feihong compensate the loss of 200 silver dollars for the Western Restaurant.
…
Dongdongdong! Clangclangclang!
“Be careful of fire, beware of thieves…”
The sound of the night watch came from outside. In the dining room of Baozhilin, the lights were bright. On the long dining table, Huang Feihong sat in the first seat, and below him sat Thirteenth Aunt, Zhu Rourong, Hao Shuai and other disciples, and on both sides stood two rows of militia members.
The air pressure in the dining hall was very low. Whether it was Hao Shuai and others or the militia, they all held their bowls and lowered their heads without eating. Especially the militia, they didn't even dare to breathe.
They also knew that they had caused a big trouble for Huang Feihong, so they didn't dare to look at Huang Feihong.
"Master, I can't eat. The incident was caused by the people of Shahe Gang. Now the government wants the militia to report. Will they take the opportunity to detain them all?" Ling Yunkai, who was sitting on the side, slapped the table and sat down suddenly, saying angrily.
"Master..." Zhu Rourong was the one who caused the incident. After hearing Ling Yunkai's words, Zhu Rourong couldn't sit still and stood up.
"Master..." Seeing Zhu Rourong and Ling Yunkai stand up, except for Hao Shuai, everyone who was originally sitting at the table stood up.
"Junior brother!" Seeing that everyone stood up, only Hao Shuai was eating heartlessly, and Yaca Su next to him pulled him with a dissatisfied look.
Hao Shuai ignored Yacasu's pulling, but finished the remaining few mouthfuls of rice, put down the bowl, shook his head and said: "Brother, what do you want to do? Do you want to attack the government or fight the foreigners? Don't you think you have caused enough trouble for the master?"
"Brother, how can you say that? The matter was obviously caused by the Shahe Gang..." Zhu Rourong said angrily.
"Everyone should find the person who caused it! Since everyone knows that it was the Shahe Gang who caused it, why not arrest the Shahe Gang and hand it over to the government?" Hao Shuai reminded.
Zhu Rourong and others immediately felt that what Hao Shuai said made sense, and a group of people grumbled that they were going to find the Shahe Gang now.
"Stop, you go out with such a large group of people, are you going to fight all over the street? Smash another restaurant? Let the master pay two or three hundred silver dollars?" Hao Shuai looked helplessly at Zhu Rourong, who was about to explode, like a firecracker, and rolled his eyes.
Huang Feihong, who was standing by, turned black when he heard about two or three hundred silver dollars, and looked at Zhu Rourong and the others fiercely.
Zhu Rourong and the others immediately turned into quails when they saw Huang Feihong's eyes, and dared not say a word.
"Master, I think we should send people out to inquire about the news of the Shahe Gang early tomorrow morning, and when there is news, you will personally take action and catch them in the act. In this way, the government will have nothing to say." After Hao Shuai finished speaking, he saluted Huang Feihong with a fist.
"Okay, let's do as Ah Shuai said. Don't argue anymore now, eat, and go back to sleep after eating!" Huang Feihong nodded, and then said to the people standing.
"Yes, Master!"
"Yes, Master!"
