Myth: Heaven and Earth

Chapter 130
The two started talking about it, and Lu Ding said: "Our weakness must be admitted, and the strength of others must also be admitted."

All of a sudden, from the format of the house, it turned to the issue of internal and external strength.

Lu Hengdao: "I admit the strength of foreigners, but I can't completely deny everything about us; how can the things left over from thousands of years and the essence left behind be all bad?"

He said: "Your mentality is a typical inferiority complex. The Tao is our temporary weakness, which is the fault of our ancestors; isn't that the fault of us descendants? When the ancestors were strong, Xiyi was still a savage." "Now that the West is strong, you feel that everything is wrong at home, and I think you are wrong."

Lu Ding blushed: "If there is no fault, why are you weak and bullied?!"

Lu Heng sneered: "Ups and downs are common. The world is turbulent, and there is a great man who can turn the tide. It is inevitable in history to honor China! There is nothing wrong with our civilization, but there are some supplements that have been ignored in the past; we The Chinese are not stupid, we have wisdom, but we are only imprisoned by this era. When we break the shackles, we will naturally usher in glory, if you don’t believe me, wait for me!”

Lu Ding hummed: "Just wait and wait!"

But his face was flushed red.

Lu Heng said: "If you don't believe me, just make a bet. Aren't you talking about electric lights and telephones? I will make it in my house sooner or later, please take a look! Not only will I make it out, but I will also make it better than foreigners. Let you know that what foreigners can do, we can do, and we can do better."

Lu Ding said: "Just bet! If I lose, I apologize to you!"

But they all laughed out loud.

When his wife came out, seeing the two of them blushing for a moment, and laughing for a moment, she couldn't help wondering: "Husband, what are you?"

Lu Ding waved his hand: "I'm talking to him. This is brother Lu Heng Lu Xian."

Lu Heng arched his hands: "I've seen Mrs. Sister-in-law."

Stay at Lu Mansion to rest at night.

The next morning, Lu Heng got up early and found a place to fight.Lu Ding didn't get up too late, and when he saw Lu Heng punching, he couldn't help saying: "I never thought that my brother can also punch and kick."

Lu Heng retracted his fists and said with a smile: "It's not bad to practice martial arts to strengthen your body. The spirit of civilization is the physique of barbarism."

Lu Ding must have said strangely: "This is quite reasonable. I also want to practice martial arts."

Then he turned around and said, "My dear brother is going to copy books in the library today. I have asked my wife to prepare a pen and paper for you."

Lu Heng thanked and said, "Brother Xian, I'm sorry."

Lu Ding said hi: "It's just a small matter."

The two talked while walking, Lu Heng said: "Shortly after getting up in the morning, I saw my sister-in-law rushing out from a distance, what happened?"

Hearing this, Lu Ding sighed: "The child has a sudden illness, so I'm sending him to the doctor."

Lu Heng was startled: "Brother Xian already has children?"

Lu Ding sighed softly and said, "This is my sixth child. For some reason, I still can't raise it. You go to eat first, I'll take you there, and I have to wait at the doctor's too."

It turned out that Lu Ding got married early, was in love with his wife, and had a child long ago.It's a pity that I didn't feed.It is now the sixth, and the first five have all died.

It is said that the oldest one has never been more than two years old.

Lu Heng listened, pondered for a while, and said: "If brother Xian believes in me, you might as well bring the child back and I'll show you."

Lu Ding was stunned, and then suddenly realized: "Yesterday, I heard from my virtuous brother that I also looked for books on medicine. It seems that my virtuous brother knows medicine!"

Medical skills, specifically Lu Heng doesn't know.But he has the power to mediate.

Then nodded: "It will be so many hands."

Said: "I don't dare to say that the world is unparalleled, but I can hardly find a few who can compare with me."

This is humility.

But Lu Ding laughed when he heard it: "Your brother's courage is extremely impressive."

I don't believe it.

He took Lu Heng to the living room for dinner, took his coat and left in a hurry.

Lu Ding is a gentleman.

Lu Heng finished his meal slowly, and when the maid was clearing the table, he said to her, "Do you know where your young master seeks medical treatment?"

The maid said: "I know."

Lu Heng said: "Go and have a look and ask brother Lu Dingxian when he will come back. I'll wait for him to bring the child to see a doctor."

The servant girl didn't know why, so she just said, "Yes."

Lu Heng was not in a hurry to go to the library, and asked the servant to take him to Lu Ding's study. He intended to look at Lu Ding's book collection, but when he saw a stack of newspapers on the table, he couldn't help but become interested.

Pulling up a chair, Lu Heng took the newspaper and started reading.

All of a sudden, a lot of information flooded his eyes.

Most of the newspapers are about the war in the north.

This stack of newspapers covers all the important things that happened from the time the Boxers entered Beijing to two days ago.

For example, the Eight-Power Allied Forces.

Calculating the time, it was almost the few days when Lu Heng just arrived in Zaoshan Town, Ganxi.The first batch of coalition forces led by Vice Admiral Seymour of the English Navy landed in Tianjin.They occupied Dagukou for the first time, then marched into the railway station, and then fought with the defenders in Tianjin and the Boxers.

After Lu Heng saw it, he was stunned for a while.

This time seems to be different from the time in memory—it is ahead of schedule!

But the specific process and the people involved have not changed much.

In Lu Heng's heart, he didn't know what kind of thinking he was expecting, because this was a huge turning point. After this incident, the Qing court lost its reputation and gradually lost control of the world.This is the premise for the birth of all hopes—because it will never be arbitrarily obliterated and suppressed by the Qing court.

But the same anger couldn't help coming up.

This is the land we are!
After a long time, Lu Heng took a deep breath: "The people are numb, the society is dark, and the country is weak. What can I do?"

Attention turned again to the newspaper.The invasion of the Eight-Power Allied Forces, the declaration of war on the Eight-Power Allied Forces by the Qing court at the same time, and the battles between the Boxers and the Eight-Power Allied Forces are all clearly described.

However, the evaluations and discussions in the newspapers are different from each other.

These newspapers are not issued by the same newspaper office.For the description of the same thing, the position of the buttocks is different.For example, a newspaper run by an ethnic businessman was full of indignation and resistance to the invasion of the Eight-Power Allied Forces, and full of encouragement and sympathy for the Boxers.

And a newspaper issued by the Society of Jesus said that the Eight-Nation Allied Forces brought civilization and so on, a lot of praise!And satirize and slander the Boxers as pagans and devils whom God hates!
When Lu Heng saw those words that were aimed at foreigners, he couldn't help but want to drag the editor out of the newspaper and beat him to death!

If most of the news is outrageous and helpless, then there is one news that makes Lu Heng hold on tighter.

It is said that the boxers led by Wang Zhengyi of the Boxer Regiment fought fiercely with foreigners near the capital, and were defeated, and their whereabouts are still unknown.Some newspapers also speculated that Wang Zhengyi was killed or captured.

For Lu Heng, Lin Heier is one and Wang Zhengyi is one.Especially Wang Zhengyi, Lu Hengji admired him!

Senior Wang Zhengyi even collected Master's body, this is kindness.Lu Heng said he would repay him.

Although he supported Wang Zhengyi with the money he got from Prince Zhan's Mansion, and later communicated more letters; but unfortunately, Lu Heng and Wang Zhengyi tended to drift away.

The philosophy is slightly different.Lu Heng hoped that Wang Zhengyi could treat some things introduced from Xiyi fairly, such as new technologies; he hoped that he could restrain his subordinates and not harm the common people who were related to them.

But I don't know if it's Wang Zhengyi who can't restrain himself, or whether he doesn't agree with Lu Heng's meaning, so he gradually lost contact.

Here is his news.

Lu Heng put down the newspaper, pondered for a while, stood up and walked out.
