C43 Yue Yuan and Gu Yu Swore an Alliance Oath

The old men in Baiou City would always think of the mid-autumn night 70 years ago when they saw the high water level of Wujiang during the month and a half of the flood.

The old men said, The great water tide that day is really something that can't be seen in a hundred years. Because of the Moon Tide, the tide every half a month was always higher than usual. On that day, the tide rose to the island, and the bridge that led to the dock was nowhere to be seen. It made people unable to tell which bridge was the bridge and which river was the river.

On this night, the 'foreigners' of the British Consulate received the notice that they were to lead all the missionaries in the city to leave the city immediately. They were to board the "Tea Mountain" ship that was docked on the opposite side of the island and headed to Shanghai. All of them were to evacuate from the city.

The tide rose higher and higher, but the 'Tea Mountain' passenger ship at the Ma Xing Pier on the other side did not wait for people. At this time, it was not only Henry's grandfather and his family who were anxious. Even the only ferryman on this island, 'Zhang Jianbei', was also extremely anxious.

"Zhang Jianbei" was Wu Yue's dialect. It specifically referred to those who were born with congenital spondylosis, rational chicken chest, and hunchbacked disabled people. They were usually only slightly more than half the height of a normal person. Other than the monks of Nakagawa Temple, there was only the "Back-encounter" family on the island. They were residents of the island all year round. After the liberation of Baiwu City, the Zhang family was the only resident of the island. Several generations of their grandfather and grandson had been interviewed by various media outlets in and out of the country. No one in Bai Wu City knew about "Zhang Jianbei. " When did a family come to the island to ferry? The only thing they knew was that "Zhang Jianbei's" father was also a "Jianbei. " "Zhang Jianbei," he was honest and honest, and the only thing he knew was that the father of Zhang Jianbei was also a meeting back. When he became an adult, he married a woman who was born with only one hand. In Baiou City, Zhang Jianbei's wife was called "Aunt One-handed. This "Aunt One-handed" was not only kind and generous, but also very smart. She had a unique skill, which was that she only had one hand, and that was to use it to beat him up quickly. Thus, After the British Consulate was built on the island of Ouxin, this disabled couple was hired by a foreigner. To work in the "Centurion's Hall," of course. . . "Zhang Jianbei" was the only ferryman on the island, and he was especially busy on the 15th day of the New Year. That was because the visitors from Nakagawa Temple kept coming.

On the Mid-Autumn Festival night 70 years ago, Zhang Jianbei felt extremely tired. Because a few days ago, he had personally witnessed Master Henry and Priest Edward arguing. The table had been flipped over, and it was so noisy that Master Henry picked up a gun from the patrol room and wanted to shoot Priest Edward.

"Zhang Han's Back" didn't know English, nor could he read, but. . . His smart "one-handed aunt" actually understood the basic content of the quarrel between the two "foreigners": They had a bunch of treasures, and Old Henry wanted to sell them to the French before he left China. He took the cash and left, but the Priest Award firmly disagreed. He thought that these treasures were not theirs, but were entrusted to them by Master Uwak to keep them. Now that they were leaving, they should return them to Master Uwat.

Old Henry was still furious and said, "Because the Japanese attacked Nanxi. If it weren't for your close relationship with Priest Edward and the craftsmen, these 'treasures' would have long fallen into the hands of the Japanese. Or perhaps they would have been smashed and destroyed by the Japanese long ago. And now, because of the chaos of war, these craftsmen were separated from one another, and no one knew where they were. The old ancestor of the "Wangshi Hall" has also passed away. We have already done very well. Why do we have to let these things become our burdens and bring them along for a few months? This will bring us harm!"

However, Alward still insisted that this batch of Oubao belonged to the craftsmen. Unfortunately, the situation had changed. The British consulate was about to evacuate. As a member of the clergy, Edward also had to leave immediately. Even if the messenger immediately asked the manager of Wangshi Hall to come from Nanxi, it was already too late. What about this batch of Oubao? If they continued to stay in Baiwu City, they would definitely be killed by the Japanese.

Aiwa was forced out of the bar by Old Henry's gun. He looked at the "Zhang Jianbei" couple who followed him out. He suddenly had an idea and said to them, Now the Japanese have entered the city. They had also entered Nanxi Lotus Village, so they would definitely suffer if they left the treasures behind. I must take them away. However, these treasures belong to China. It's yours, I'm just keeping it for you. I will now write a contract in Mandarin and English, Keep it well, and in the future, rely on this contract. . . Come to England to retrieve your treasures. After I return to the country, I will write a document on this matter. Send it to the British government and the Chinese government respectively.

"Zhang Jianbei" didn't know what to do after hearing this, but Aunt One-Handed calmly said, "It's not appropriate for us to take care of it. We are neither Nanxi Loturians nor Master Wu. How about this, I'll find someone for you and ask him to bring someone over immediately. This person will definitely be able to make this contract with you. "

Not long after, the 'backdrop of the encounter' brought another young 'backdrop'. This Enjoying Back was the younger brother of" Zhang Jianbei. " He was 20 years younger than "Zhang Han Bei" and was also known as "Zhang Han Bei. " That year, after "Zhang Jian Bei's" mother gave birth to "Zhang Jian Bei," She dreamed of giving birth to a healthy child. She didn't expect that she wouldn't be able to raise him. After 20 years, she actually gave birth to a hunchbacked son. When he was 10 years old, Thinking that this little hunchbacked man would have a meal in the future, he sent him to the famous South Performance troupe of Nanxi Lotus Village, "Wu Chun Ban," to learn acting. He mainly focused on "short acting. "

This "short character act" was originally a very unique technique in the art of acting in China. Normally, it was also actors of normal height who acted as short people. It was to curl up and walk, commonly known as "short act. " They would play the short and ugly horns, such as Wu Dalang in the Water Margin, and Wang Ying, the short and short tiger. All of them had to be played with Shorty Skill. This little encounter went to the acting class and focused on the short ones. Acting as Wu Dalang was his true colors. Due to his intelligence, diligence, and loyalty, even though there weren't many scenes, However, this little encounter was remembered when he was in the "Chun Nan drama class," and not only did he perform well in the short act, Furthermore, since he was young, because his sister-in-law had taught him how to play, he was able to understand it with just a little bit. Thus, he was also the accountant of "You-Chun Class. " He had gained the trust of the famous boss of Ou Ling class, Lu Fangfei.

At this moment, the son of the adult class leader, Lu Changting, was working in the city. "Zhang Xiaoran" received the orders from his sister-in-law. Without much effort, he brought Lu Changting to Priest Edward.

On the night of the full moon, when the tide of the river did not cross the bridge of the island, the newly promoted leader of the south show, "Aochun Class," Reed swore to the Moon Alliance that he would not fall into the hands of the Japanese for the sake of this batch of masters. Or to be destroyed in the flames of war, Lu Changting represented Master Wu of the Lotus Rui Hundred Engineers. He tore apart the pages of the Treasure Map of Wu that recorded the various top skills of the Hundred Engineers of Wu River and divided them into two volumes of the Yang Scripture and Yin Scripture. The 'Book of Wu Treasure Map' (Book of Yang) was brought back to Lotus Village by Reed to be preserved. Treasure Map of the Ou River (Yin), along with this batch of Ou Treasure that was passed down by the Master of the Ou River, was brought to England to be safeguarded. In a sixty year cycle, if Ou Craftsman of China still inherited the skills of these national treasures and craftsmen, Then the descendants of Aiwa would return this batch of Ou's treasures to the China's Ou's craftsman for free. If the Craftsman of China no longer inherited these great skills by then, then. . . These Oubao would be donated by the Aiwa family to the British Empire. As the world's cultural craftsman treasure, it would be permanently stored in the British Empire's museum.

For some reason, Award had changed the contract to 70 years for a sixty-year-cycle. His next explanation was, Another ten years is more of a test for the inheritance and persistence of the Master Craftsman of China.

All of this was quietly carried out without Old Henry's knowledge. However, When Aide brought his family and this group of Oubo along with the 'Treasure Map of Ou' (Yin) to the 'Tea Mountain' big passenger ship heading to Shanghai, Old Henry still found out. On the ship, Old Henry requested that this group of treasures be brought to England, and then the two families would split it in half. Perhaps it was because God did not give the greedy people any chance. On the journey back to England on the sea, he did not have the time to explain the details of this batch of Oubao. Old Henry died of an acute illness. His descendants were only a concept of this batch of Oubao. They only knew that there was a 'seventy year covenant', but. . . This huge amount of wealth in their eyes, after arriving in England. . . They entered the heavily guarded Ward Manor, leaving behind incomparable jealousy and unwillingness for the descendants of the old Henry Family. They swore that they would take back this fortune. And so, after so many years. . . The most determined person in the family to take revenge was Mr. Henry, who had spent almost half of his life preparing for it. Finally, when the time was right, he began to take action!
