Chapter 46: The Four Elites of the Mohist Family
"Countries are like people. If they want long-term peace and stability and are not bullied by other countries, they must strengthen themselves. Strength is the last word! Everything else is just a cloud."
Having said this, Ye Feiyang's fists tightened, and his body, which had always shown itself to be calm, actually started to tremble slightly.
Ye Feiyang calmed down and asked Zhou Zhenhai: "Elder Zhou, you have traveled all over the world and are well-informed. Who do you think among the younger generation has the most hope of becoming the person who can turn the tide?"
Zhou Zhenhai pondered for a moment and said: "The country is in trouble, and descendants of hundreds of local families have entered the world one after another. When I look at all the families, the most amazing thing is the world-famous doctor Fu Qingshan."
"I have known him for so long, but I have never seen Elder Zhou praise a person so much. It seems that this Fu Qingshan is indeed unique." Yuan Xingbang said curiously.
Zhou Zhenhai waved his hand and said: "It's not that I mean to praise him, but it's because this man is indeed a genius. He put forward the slogan of 'driving out the aliens and restoring the southern country'. He has gone beyond the limitations of traditional doctors to help the world by hanging pots, and has reached the level of medical science." It is the highest state of medical treatment. Even though this person is currently in exile overseas, his prestige among the younger generation is extremely high. If he raises his arms, there will definitely be a large number of candidates."
"How does Xiao Xi compare with Fu Qingshan?" Yuan Xingbang asked.
"There is no comparison! It's like Fu Qingshan is a piece of ancient jade. Everyone knows how valuable it is. Xiaoxi is like a rough stone that has just been unearthed in the mountains. When you cut it with a knife, you still don't know whether it is a hard stone or an emerald. . But the unknown is precisely where the most exciting fun lies." Zhou Zhenbang said with a smile, brushing his beard.
"Is it a stone or an emerald? Let's wait and see!" Ye Feiyang also laughed.
As soon as Xi Xingchen got on the boat, he found that there were three people on the boat, two men and one woman. Xi Xingchen knew both men. One was Duan Zhenghua, a direct disciple of Yuan Xingbang; the other was named Jin and had the character "Bo" in his name, Wen Gaoming. The disciple of Wen Gaoming perfectly demonstrated Wen Gaoming's unique aesthetics. He was tall and strong, like a lump of iron. At first glance, he looked like the kind of person with tough skin and rough flesh, who could be beaten with force.
When Xi Xingchen saw that girl for the first time, he couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
She was a young girl who had just grown up. Although she could not be said to be the most beautiful girl in the country, she was also very beautiful, especially her eyes, which were set like black gems on her pretty face as white as gelatin. They were so beautiful and agile that it made people stunned. Fascinated.
What's commendable is that this girl is not as fragile as the ladies Xi Xingchen has seen before, but her eyebrows actually reveal a bit of heroism that only men can have.
Duan Zhenghua saw Xi Xingchen looking at the girl in a daze, so he walked over and bumped Xi Xingchen with his shoulder, and whispered: "Brother Chen, this girl is the apple of Elder Zhou's eye. She is knowledgeable and has a strong memory. She is extremely smart. She is known as the 'Walking Encyclopedia' ', don't be compared."
Seeing Xi Xingchen looking at her, the girl stretched out her hand generously and said: "Hello, senior brother Xi, my name is Zhou Qiaoqian. You can call me Qiaoqiao or Qianqian!"
Looking at Zhou Qiaoqian's slender jade-like hands, Xi Xingchen suddenly froze.
Once upon a time, Xi Xingchen fantasized about one day holding the hand of a peerless beauty, watching the stars and basking in the moonlight, and then bid farewell to her twenty-year virgin career with great fanfare.
But when a beautiful girl actually stretched out her hand, she was a little at a loss.
However, Xi Xingchen is a person who has lived two lives after all. Although he was a little uneasy, he could not lose his grace, so he wiped his hands on his clothes in an exaggerated way, then took Zhou Qiaoqian's hand and said, "Sister Qianqian , my name is Xi Xingchen, you can call me Brother Chen."
Duan Zhenghua screamed from the side: "Brother Chen, be gentle, don't break Sister Qianqian's hand."
Zhou Qiaoqian's hand was as soft as bones. Xi Xingchen wanted to hold it for a while longer, but after Duan Zhenghua said this, he naturally couldn't move away and grabbed the little girl's hand, reluctant to let go.
In order to avoid embarrassment, Xi Xingchen put his hand to his nose and smelled it, and praised: "It smells so good!"
Duan Zhenghua heard this and said, "Really? I heard it too!"
With that said, Duan Zhenghua went to hold Zhou Qiaoqian's hand.
Zhou Qiaoqian's face turned red and she quickly pulled her hand away.
Probably because she was annoyed with Duan Zhenghua for speaking so openly, Zhou Qiaoqian couldn't help but give Duan Zhenghua a kick.
Duan Zhenghua did not dodge and happily took the lead.
Seeing that Duan Zhenghua was enjoying it very much, Xi Xingchen pushed Duan Zhenghua away, jumped in front of Zhou Qiaoqian, and said playfully: "Sister Qianqian, I want it too."
At this time, Zhou Qiaoqian realized that Xi Xingchen and Duan Zhenghua were teasing her. Seeing their funny expressions, she couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.
With a charming smile, she truly lives up to her name.
Zhou Qiaoqian is talented and intelligent. She has been taken by Zhou Zhenhai to study and travel around since she was a child. This is also the first time for boys of the same age to play and play. The girl's lively nature is immediately activated. She licks her mouth and satisfies Xi Xingchen generously. made a strange request and stepped on his foot hard. The pain made Xi Xingchen jump around the boat holding his legs and grinning.
"I want it too!" Jin Bo also jumped in front of Zhou Qiaoqian, showing off his cuteness, and said in a loud voice.
"Go, go! Your skin is strong and your flesh is rough. Don't hurt sister Qianqian's feet by kicking her."
Duan Zhenghua and Xi Xingchen pushed Jin Bo away together...
In the happy slapstick, before we knew it, the boat had crossed Yuanshui and arrived at Yuanshui County.
There is no railway from Yuanshui County to Wan County, so Xi Xingchen and his party must first go to Yuanshui County to transfer to a boat to cross the 800-mile Yunmeng Lake, and then cross the Tongtian River to Jiangcheng, the provincial capital of Yunmengze Province, and then from Jiangcheng took a steamer and traveled east along the Tongtian River for half a day to Xunyang Mansion. Then he took a horse-drawn carriage and headed south for about a hundred miles to reach Wan County.
The ferry from Yuanshui County to Jiangcheng was a two-story wooden passenger ship with a small steamer tied to the front as a power source. Xi Xingchen stepped onto the deck of the passenger ship and looked at the thick black smoke emitting from the small steamer. I just feel a strong sense of the times coming over me.
At that time, the Fenglei Continent, which was separated from the Southern Xinjiang Continent by the Falling Star Sea and the Xifeng Sea, had entered the period of great industry. Due to its long-term isolation, the Dayan Dynasty was bombarded by the powers of Fenglei Continent with powerful ships and cannons to open the country, and was forced to cede territory for and signed unequal treaties.
Summarizing the knowledge of Xi Xingchen’s previous life, the Dayan Dynasty at this time was in a semi-colonial and semi-feudal state. Due to the wide opening of the country, the ideas, culture, and science and technology of the world’s great powers, no matter good or bad, and whether they were acclimatized or not, were all flowing into their minds. Enter the southern Xinjiang continent.
It was against this background that Xiaohuolun squeezed into the lives of Dayan people.
Today's Dayan people, even the traffickers and lackeys living at the lowest level, all know that there are extremely fast cars in this world that can run without horse-drawn horses, trains that can carry thousands of people, and that people can travel thousands of miles apart. Telegrams that convey messages, cameras that can capture your soul just by standing in front of a black box, and electric lamps that can illuminate without burning oil...
