large ballistics

Chapter 4
Lin Wanru walked briskly in front, and Li Chong followed behind.There were no demonstrators along the way, and those who were at the front of the march yesterday are now all locked in police cells.

The shops on both sides reopened, as if yesterday's parade hadn't happened.For these small businessmen, as long as the shells fall on their heads, the business will continue.

Following the girl's footsteps, walking in the east direction, passing rickshaws and cars with headlights became more frequent, and even some intersections were congested.Often three or five steps away, you can see a bungalow composed of white marble and large shiny iron gates.

This is the place where the rich and wealthy gentry lived in the entire Jinling City, and there were no white people.After passing the intersection called "Hanzhong Road" in front of me, I walked over and entered the residential area completely. In front of me, Hanzhong Road in the north-south direction was adjacent to the Qinhuai River, and various trading companies on both sides were close together.

Therefore, it is only natural that a group of beggars gathered at this intersection, and they hoped that these beautifully dressed wealthy people would be able to leak a little bit from their fingertips.Most of these beggars kneeling on the ground are black and thin, and the old clothes can't see the original texture. Sometimes the shiny cars pass by, which is unavoidable. They can only passively choke on the dust, and then struggle coughing.

Li Chongzheng was standing on the edge of the intersection, waiting for the three rickshaws to pass by in front of him. Next to him was a boy younger than himself sitting slumped under the stone lion. His body was wrapped in a tattered snakeskin bag, his legs were curled up in a strange posture, and a straw bag was placed underneath, lying motionless on the ground, except for occasional turning without focus, exuding decadence The eyes showed that it was a living being, motionless like a gray stone.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way! What's the matter? Are you letting people pass by? A country bumpkin in a suit, a dead beggar with no eyes, he doesn't even know how to give way when the car comes!"

There was a sharp and ear-piercing sound, and Li Chong turned his head to see that a woman wearing an embroidered hollow silk scarf was sitting in a rickshaw behind him. Neatly, the pearls hanging on the earlobe reflected the dazzling light in the sun, the eyes showed contempt, and the face showed a look of disgust, as if being at the same intersection with a beggar would pollute oneself.

Behind this rickshaw, there was another rickshaw. The young man sitting on it was wearing a white shirt, a beige tie, a white suit, and a white beret. His leather shoes were shiny, and there were four The entourage picked up things and followed behind, their eyes didn't even bother to look here.

Under the halo of the rich, even the driver who pulls the cart is tall, young and strong, showing that he is different from other drivers. The brass trumpets shone brightly.

"What are you looking at? It's you! Everyone in this world wears suits now. You're blocking Mrs. Ben's way, so why don't you get out of the way!" The lady raised her eyebrows carefully and looked at Li Chong's tone was very dissatisfied.

Li Chong looked at the position he occupied, and together with the paralyzed beggar next to him occupied the gap between the stone lion and the wall, this gap was just enough for the lady's rickshaw to pass by and avoid the road. Time to queue up to cross the intersection.

"Why are you staying here, let's go!" The lady ordered the driver in front of her.

Hearing the customer speak, the young, strong, and agile coachman raised the handlebar and was about to move forward.

"Wait, stop!" Li Chong frowned, stretched out his hand and grabbed the handle of the car, no matter how hard the driver with his strong arms pushed forward, the car would not move.

The driver who has been racing cars in Nanjing City for four or five years knows that he has encountered a stubble. He has practiced for four or five years that the car does not move the customer when pulling the cart, and he knows his own strength.But the young man put one hand up, and the force he exerted on the handlebar made him feel like he had hit a boulder.

"Why don't you go?" The lady was very dissatisfied.

The coachman said bitterly, you don't understand the situation in front of you, is the young master in front of you not letting go?

Following the coachman's eyes, the lady's eyes caught a pair of young hands on the handlebars, and then along the arms, she saw Li Chong who was looking at her with a calm face.

"Ma'am, this corner is a pedestrian passage. Vehicles should be driving on the road, so it is you who should let go, not me."

"Do you know whose car this is? It belongs to Mr. Zheng of the Nanjing Legislative Council." The lady said that she was famous, and even the two drivers next to her who were pulling the monthly contract straightened up, as if it was a great honor .

"I don't care whether you are a member of parliament or not. The avenue is open to the sky. Let each side go. Why should I give way to you. After all, you are also a family member of a legislative member. You don't understand the basic traffic rules, so you have the nerve to say so."

In the student union of the University of Hong Kong, Li Chong was famous for his eloquence, and he didn't do anything to a lady who only knew how to show off.What's more, when a person not only has a strong mouth, but also has a strong physical strength to match, no matter where he stands, he is neither humble nor overbearing.

"Hey, you!"

"How? You have a lot of people, want to use force?" Li Chongle was confused. Anyway, these two days of reading newspapers and watching the Japanese invaders poison the land of North China, he was always smoldering with anger, and wanted to vent it.

On the other side, Lin Wanru, who was walking briskly ahead and had already crossed the road, turned her head and saw that Li Chong hadn't followed, so she hurried back to look for it.

"Huh, aunt? Why are you here?" Lin Wanru found Li Chong's figure, and when she approached, Lin Wanru found that her aunt was also here.

"Oh, Xiaoru, what a coincidence, why did I meet you at the intersection? I heard from your father that you are back, and my aunt is about to go to your house. This is a gift from your aunt, and your cousin also Come with me." Seeing Lin Wanru, the noble lady smiled like a flower, and she held Lin Wanru's hand, her enthusiastic appearance was completely different from the bossy one just now.

The man in the white suit who was originally sitting in the car, afraid that the dust on the ground would stain his shiny leather shoes, jumped out of the car when he saw Lin Wanru, and greeted him enthusiastically, "Cousin is long and cousin is short".

Lin Wanru nodded copingly, and then looked at Li Chong, "Why are you walking and disappearing? And why are you with my aunt?"

Li Chong didn't answer, just shook his head, the Japanese were wreaking havoc in North China, passers-by who walked all the way in front of him denied that the patriotic youth was still in the cell.As for my own experience, I can see the whole picture at a glance. Even the wife of a legislator doesn't care about state affairs, and despises his compatriots, as if no matter how much the Japanese fight in the north, it doesn't matter to him.

The boy in the white suit saw Lin Wanru perfunctory himself, so he asked another young man, and a wave of hostility rose instantly, "Cousin, stay away from this kind of person, because you don't know etiquette at all."

"How do you say it? He is my savior, and he helped me run away several strong men just now!" Lin Wanru retorted, and then briefly explained how she was almost threatened by snitches when buying books.

The noble lady looked at Li Chong, and then said in a strange way, "Oh, Xiaoru, you have to be careful, don't be fooled, who knows if he recruited that little thief, and then staged a hero to save the beauty?" What a show, in this world, people's hearts are treacherous!"

"Auntie, you really helped me, and I'm ignoring you my friends when you say that!" Lin Wanru stomped her feet and turned her head away from looking at the two of them.
