If it hadn't been for Fujino Haheiji's family letter, when he met Brother Xun, I'm afraid he would have let the two masters and apprentices meet again to make up for their regrets.
Before Brother Xun died, he was also looking for Fujino Genkuro, but unfortunately he found nothing.
There is also a photo of Mr. Fujino hanging above the bed.
"You have Mr. Fujino, and I also have Mr. Fujino, and he takes good care of me..."
Brother Xun felt a little complicated.
He probably knows that Mr. Fujino mentioned by Bai Gui may be a brother to his Mr. Fujino. However, he does not intend to admit it proactively. Although he is taken care of by Mr. Fujino, but... he has now abandoned school and is living a difficult life.
, I don’t have any face, I’m too embarrassed to see Fujino Yankuro again.
It’s human nature to be timid when close to home!
"In some time, after the mid-term exam, I am going to go to Kyoto. If Brother Yucai doesn't mind, can you go with me?"
Bai Gui said.
He remembered the matter entrusted by Fujino Hachihei, but he was not in a hurry for a month or two. Fujino Haheiji also asked him to arrange his own affairs first and go to Fukui Prefecture to look for it when he had time.
Moreover, the midterm exams for the first grade of high school are coming soon, so I don’t have much time to spare.
"this……"
Brother Xun was a little hesitant and wanted to refuse, but he didn't know where to start. He had just met a friend and took the initiative to invite him. It would be too blunt for him to refuse.
Not to mention, Bai Gui treated him so politely.
"It's the end. If Brother Yucai is not available, forget it."
"If you have time, come together!"
Bai Gui saw the reluctance on Brother Xun's face and guessed something in his heart, so he stepped down for him.
"okay."
Brother Xun nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.
When the time comes, I will just excuse myself from going because I have something to do! Even if I kill myself, I won’t go!
"This is the manuscript translated by Brother Yucai. If you don't mind, could you let me take a look at it?"
"I am the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, and I am also responsible for collecting some manuscripts..."
Bai Gui pointed to the books that Brother Xun placed on the dining table.
He knew Brother Xun's predicament at this time.
The translated work "Outside the Territory Collection" just published this year, a total of two volumes, sold to the Shanghai stock market. One volume is a small silver dollar of 30 cents. The bulk sale is 10% off for ten volumes and 20% off for 50 volumes. However, the first volume sold for 20%.
One copy, and twenty copies of the second volume were sold.
I didn’t even earn back the advertising fees!
As for why it is so clear?
In fact, after arriving in Tokyo, Bai Gui also inquired about some things about Brother Xun intentionally or unintentionally.
It's just that I have never found the time to go to meet him, and there is no valid reason for going to visit.
This news was told to him by the editor-in-chief Nagano a few days ago.
Brother Xun sold his and his younger brother's translation works through an advertisement in the "China Daily". The "China Daily" was a newspaper owned by Liu Xueyu, and had a close relationship with the Minjin Daily.
However, Brother Xun is just living in embarrassment, not to the point where he can't reveal the blame.
He wasn't in a hurry either.
Now that I have encountered it, if it can help, please help.
"Then...thank you, Brother Meihe."
Brother Xun felt a little grateful and handed the manuscript over.
After flipping through a few pages, Bai Gui took a deep breath and couldn't help but frown secretly as he looked at these manuscripts. The translations were both classical Chinese and foreign classics. They were really too cumbersome to read...
"Brother Yucai, the Democratic Progressive Newspaper office is still short of a responsible editor. With your talent, you should be able to take up the position."
Bai Gui closed the manuscript and couldn't bear to look at it.
The future great writer is still a fledgling boy.
Although Brother Xun is talented, he does not have a diploma and is a graduate of Sendai Medical College. In the domestic imperial examination, he only passed the county examination and has no fame. Therefore, it is really difficult to apply for a suitable job.
Brother Xun: "..."
He seemed to realize something and blushed a little.
"Thank you, Brother Meihe, for your appreciation."
Brother Xun quickly took back the manuscript and thanked him at the same time.
He wouldn't be surprised at this kind of help. It's normal for us to support and help each other as strangers in a foreign land. Bai Meihe helps him today, and at worst, he can just go back in the future. He still has this confidence.
.
While the two were talking, suddenly bursts of gunfire came from outside the window.
Everyone in the ballroom was immediately frightened.
They hid one after another.
"Don't be anxious! Don't be anxious, they won't break into the embassy without permission yet!"
Minister Wu looked gloomy, walked to the door, and looked outside the ballroom.
It was dark at this time, under the street lights on both sides of the road.
I saw groups of Japanese soldiers passing back and forth on the road.
Gunfire could be heard from all directions.
As he said, the Japanese army would not break into the embassy without asking for instructions.
Not long after, a Japanese man dressed as a clerk and wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked in.
"Sorry to disturb the mood of all gentlemen, we are arresting the assassin now, please bear with me..."
He said very politely.
"Excuse me, what big event happened that caused your country to mobilize so many troops?"
Minister Wu took the opportunity to ask.
Ambassador Hu is still in Shanghai, and he is fully responsible for the embassy.
"It is not convenient to inform you about this matter. Please also ask the guests of your embassy not to go out without permission, otherwise... if something happens, it will be difficult to handle."
The clerk glanced at the ballroom and said calmly.
"Thanks for letting me know."
Minister Wu frowned slightly, secretly thinking that something big might have happened.
Outside the embassy, gunfire ranged from dense to sparse.
With the clerk's assurance, everyone in the ballroom breathed a sigh of relief and stopped hiding.
However, everyone did not dare to leave the embassy without authorization. At the same time, they lost interest in continuing to dance and talk. They all stared at the door nervously, fearing that something big would happen again.
"This must be Bai Meihe, right?"
"He is really a good man!"
Bai Xiongqi was also startled and hid behind the bar in the ballroom. When he came out, his eyes suddenly lit up when he saw Bai Gui on the sofa who was still fearless in the face of danger.
He also saw blurry photos of Bai Gui when he was playing in the newspaper, and he immediately made a judgment in his mind.
Who in the world doesn’t love heroes.
Compared with others, Bai Gui is indeed a bit conspicuous at this moment.
However, from beginning to end, there were still more than a dozen people who remained calm and calm in the face of danger.
But Bai Xiongqi had already made friends with those people before, so he came to Bai Gui.
"Where, where..."
Bai Gui cupped his hand and explained casually: "This is the embassy of a country. The Japanese will not trespass. If they really trespass, even if they hide, it will be of no use! Instead of doing this, it is better to remain calm in times of danger and not
Let them look down upon you!”
"Didn't Su Laoquan also say: Mount Tai collapses in front but does not change its appearance; elk rises to the left but does not blink; then one can know the advantages and disadvantages and wait for the enemy."
Naturally, everyone knew this truth, but... a gun has no eyes, and they still want to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, so most people dispersed like birds and beasts and hid.
