After staying in the hotel, Li Yu took a rickshaw to the school every day for classes. Yes: not only do I teach basic mathematics and mechanics in the surveying and mapping department, but I also take shooting and equestrian classes as a student.
Today, Li Chun started arranging live-fire shooting lessons for Li Yu. Li Yu was very interested in this. After all, which man doesn't love guns and BMWs!
Li Chun took out a pistol: "If you don't join the military, sir, it's enough to learn how to use a pistol. This is the latest Browning m1900 pistol, and it is also the most advanced pistol in the Beiyang Army. If sir can shoot 20 rounds a day, it is estimated that In less than ten days you will be a master of using guns." Beiyang really gave Li Yu a huge favor. The opportunity to shoot 200 rounds of live ammunition, in the entire Beiyang Army, only the elite troops can do it.
In fact, even in the later Japanese Army, recruits only had about 200 rounds of live ammunition, and many of them were even training rounds.
Li Yu's shooting class went very quickly. After all, there was no shooting today. It was Li Chun who taught Li Yu the relevant usage methods and precautions of firearms, and trained the posture of holding the gun.
After the shooting class, there is the equestrian class. The training that starts today is to independently urge the horse to trot. Once you start riding independently, the feeling comes right away. It’s really great!
Definitely twice as fun as riding a battery bike! After practicing equestrian for four or five days, Li Yu can already ride the wave trot more stably and comfortably.
After a week, he could barely run a horse, but Li Yu couldn't control the reins well, and he was always bumped up by the horse.
In addition, Li Yu had finished writing his essay in a few days, and just received news from De Ling. As the new year was approaching, she was going back to the capital, and Li Yu made a special trip to see her off.
"Brother Li Yu, aren't you going back to the capital to celebrate the New Year?" De Ling asked. Li Yu shook his head: "I'm not going back." Then he asked: "Is there nothing going on at home?" De Ling said: "Father wrote a letter saying that he can go back. Because Mr. Ronglu is unwell, it is not suitable for weddings at home now. So this matter is over now." Li Yu said: "That's good, don't go against your will." De Ling nodded, then got on the train, then turned around and asked: "Brother Li Yu, if you don't go back Is there really no problem with celebrating the New Year at home? You are alone..." Li Yu said: "Don't worry, don't worry about me, I am very fulfilled now." De Ling couldn't say anything more and waved goodbye to Li Yu.
The more festive it is, the sadder a person becomes. Just like other people are celebrating Valentine's Day, but he has to play games alone... Fortunately, Li Yu is indeed quite fulfilled now. It's rare to learn something new, and it's new things like horse riding and shooting that he couldn't easily learn in his previous life.
Li Yu went to the post office and mailed the paper he had written on the third law of thermodynamics to Ding Hailiang, asking him to stamp it with the seal of the Capital University before sending it back.
Then he continued to go back to school. After taking a few more equestrian lessons, Li Yu was able to push waves more comfortably and stably. After ten days, he was able to run fast and relatively safely.
For daily use, it is completely sufficient. It's just like taking the test for a car driver's license in later generations: Anyone who has driven a car knows that there is still a long way to go before getting a driver's license and being able to drive a car proficiently on the road.
But Li Yu can't wait! I will ride on my horse immediately! He received the stamped paper sent back by Ding Nailiang and was going to ride directly to the Tianjin Post Office to mail it.
Li Chun was worried: "Sir, please don't fall..." Li Yu was confident: "Believe me, there is no problem!" Li Chun said: "I think it's better, sir, to take a rickshaw." Li Yu was already drifting. , said firmly: "Don't worry, I know it well, I won't ride fast." Li Chun couldn't persuade Li Yu, so he had no choice but to let him ride a horse.
Li Yucai felt nervous when he hit the road for the first time. I used to ride on the playground, so I didn't have to worry about hitting people. But now that there are no traffic lights, sidewalks, or driveways, the difficulty has suddenly increased.
But the horse has already been ridden out, and it would be too embarrassing to turn around. Li Yu really didn't dare to ride fast at all, and it took him a long time to see the post office.
He breathed a sigh of relief: "We're finally here! It doesn't seem to be difficult!" Unexpectedly, as soon as he relaxed his mind and shook the reins, the horse actually lost control. There happened to be a woman on the roadside, and the horse ran towards her.
Li Yu shouted: "Be careful!" The woman heard the sound of horse hooves, turned her head and saw a horse rushing over. She immediately ducked aside nimbly, but the package in her hand fell to the ground.
The horse's hooves stepped on the package without hesitation. Li Yu quickly pulled the reins and barely controlled the horse.
He immediately turned over and dismounted: "I'm so sorry! Girl, I didn't hit you, did I?" The woman leaned over and picked up the package and said, "I wasn't hit, but my manuscript." She opened the package and found a stack of manuscript paper. , and a broken pen and broken ink bottle.
The ink flowed freely, dyeing the manuscript paper so black that the handwriting was almost invisible. Tears immediately started to well up in the woman's eyes: "My poem manuscripts are all ruined!" She loosened her fingers and the manuscripts fell to the ground.
Li Yu hurriedly helped her pick it up again. The remaining verses could be seen in beautiful handwriting. Who would have thought she was a female poet?
When I glanced at it, I saw the signature: "Lu Bicheng". I went, and this time I bumped into the first of the four most talented women in the Republic of China!
Li Yu said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, how can I compensate you."
"You!" Lu Bicheng looked at Li Yu, wanting to get angry but not knowing how. She turned her head and took out a handkerchief to wipe her eyes, not wanting to cry in front of others.
Then he turned back and said decisively: "Of course you have to compensate!"
"Okay, okay, how do you make up for it? I wonder if you can still remember the poem draft?" Li Yu asked.
Lu Bicheng said: "I remember, but I came to Tianjin alone and penniless. Where can I have money to buy paper and pens? I originally expected to use them to find a position, but now..." Li Yu's mind Fei Kuai: "Of course I should compensate you for writing tools. If you have no place to live, I can also give you money to rent a house and apologize." Lu Bicheng shook his head: "I will compensate you for what you need. As for the other things, I don’t want a man to help yet.”
"Uh..." Li Yu scratched his head. Lu Bicheng was the first initiator of the Chinese women's rights movement and was very impressive in the feudal and backward era.
Li Yu said: "Miss Bicheng, I don't mean any harm, I..."
"Wait!" Lu Bicheng said,
"How do you know my name?" In fact, Lu Bicheng was not her real name, but a pen name. For a lady in the feudal era, using a pen name was normal.
After all, this is the number that has been with her all her life. Li Yu pointed to the poem manuscript in his hand: "There is a signature on it. Miss Bicheng's handwriting is really excellent, and the fragments of chapters are also full of literary talent." Lu Bicheng took the manuscript in Li Yu's hand and said,
"Only when it is recognized by the public can it be called good. Unfortunately, in this era, these verses are written by a woman like me and may never see the light of day." Li Yu said: "Miss, don't worry, I do have a connection. I know "Ta Kung Pao" "The editor-in-chief can introduce it to you."
"Really?" A glimmer of hope flashed in Lu Bicheng's eyes, but she quickly restrained herself. Although she was only 20 years old, she had experienced many setbacks in life and would not trust others easily.
Li Yu saw her worries and quickly added: "Actually, I am also here to submit a manuscript. We have reached the same goal by different paths, but the direction of my writing is a little different from yours."
"The direction is different?" Lu Bicheng asked. She didn't know Li Yu's details yet.
"What did you write, prose? Or a note on a book?" Li Yu shook his head: "I wrote a paper."
"Thesis?" Li Yu also took out the manuscript he wrote from his bag: "Scientific paper."
"Huh?" Lu Bicheng felt her head was spinning. Although she had studied Western studies, she had never seen anyone write a Western studies paper. When she glanced at it, she saw the beginning of the cover of the manuscript:
"On the New Laws of Thermodynamics", signed
"Li Yu, Capital University".
"Li Yu?" Lu Bicheng asked in surprise,
"Which Li Yu are you?"
"Uh, are there a lot of Li Yu? They're not carp in the Yellow River." Li Yu said with a smile. Lu Bicheng said: "In the past few days, almost all newspapers in Tianjin have been reporting crazily on the famous Western scholar, could it be you?" Li Yu spread his hands: "Why, doesn't it look like it?" He pointed at the manuscript again. explain,
"There is also a university seal here, how can it be fake?"
"Wow! It's really you!" Lu Bicheng said in surprise,
"You are a great hero! Everyone admires you so much! I didn't expect to meet you." Li Yu said, "Now you believe me." Lu Bicheng nodded vigorously: "I believe it!" The doubts between his brows were eliminated. , Lu Bicheng's eyes widened. Looking at it this way, she was really pretty, even more delicate than in the photo.
Lu Bicheng asked: "Can I see the manuscript you wrote?"
"Of course." Li Yu handed it over.
"It's only fair that I read what you wrote, and then you read what I wrote." Lu Bicheng turned over the pages and said, "It's so profound, I can't understand it at all." But she also understood that the Li Yu in front of her was the real deal. Li Yu.
Li Yu added: "In order to completely reassure you, let's go to the Ta Kung Pao newspaper office now. It's not far anyway. The only trouble is that there is only one horse. By the way... can you ride a horse?" Lu Bicheng's mood has improved, Said: "Of course! I can ride much better than you!" Lu Bicheng stepped on the stirrups and rode up coolly, and then walked around the street several times before coming back.
"Mr. Li Yu, it's not me who said that your riding skills are indeed... hey, they really need to be improved." Li Yu felt so ashamed that he didn't expect that a lady from a wealthy family could ride a horse better than him!
But in fact, he doesn't need to be too sad. After all, Lu Bicheng is the last strange woman in China before modern history. Riding a horse is common for her. After all, she is the same as Qiu Jin.
"Women's Double Hero". Li Yu said awkwardly: "I'll just call him a rickshaw." Unexpectedly, the first time in his life that he officially rode a horse on the road was a rickshaw.
