Rebirth of the Forbidden City: The Troublemaker in the Courtyard

Chapter 445 Important Places

Chapter 445 Important Places

Ning Yuan didn't need to explain anything to Tian Erliang and Hu Lianwang anymore. Fatty Fan had already said everything that needed to be said.

After having breakfast together, Ning Yuan took Tian Erliang and Hu Lianwang out of the village.

In summer, snakes, insects and wild animals are more active in the mountains, so we guys all brought guns with us.

The distance from Fangcun to the county is neither far nor near, and at least we didn't encounter any big wild animals.

After arriving in the county, Ning Yuan first went to the post office to pick up the letters sent by Zheng Liang and others.

After seeing the address left for him in the letter, Ning Yuan took Tian Erliang and Hu Lianwang to the train station.

The road permits were issued directly, and the guns in their hands were also taken away by Ning Yuan.

Although Ning Yuan had such connections in Annan County that no one would check him on the train, there was really no need to act so recklessly.

After getting on the train, Tian Erliang carried a bag of dry noodles and dried meat, while Hu Lianwang took several large pots of cold boiled water and even secretly put a few bottles of soda in his bag.

You must bring enough food and drinks for the journey, after all, it will take two days to get from here to Guangzhou.

There weren't many people on the train, so the three of them didn't need to squeeze together. At night, they could each choose a row of seats nearby and go to sleep.

During the day, the three of them either played poker or just closed their eyes and rested.

This journey was quite boring.

Tian Erliang and Hu Lianwang had never been alone with Ning Yuan for such a long time.

The brothers' awe of Ning Yuan had long since lost the excitement they had when they set out.

There are more awkward moments when I don’t know what to say.

Ning Yuan could also notice it, so apart from inviting them to eat or playing poker together for a while, he would not insist on asking them to sit here.

Two days later, Ning Yuan and his companions finally arrived at their destination.

Before they even got off the train, they already felt the humid and hot climate that was completely different from that in the north.

Especially since they were still in the Qinling Mountains when they set out. Although it was hot in early July, they could still feel a hint of coolness in the mountains.

So when they set off, they all put on a coat.

But in fact, as soon as the train started heading south, Ning Yuan and the others had already taken off their coats before leaving two stations.

Once we entered the Guangzhou area, it was so hot that people wanted to get off the bus shirtless.

Of course, this is definitely not allowed. After all, at this time, all kinds of bad habits are being severely cracked down.

After getting off the station, Ning Yuan, Hu Lianwang, Tian Erliang and others were a little confused.

Because this place is just a small broken station.

There were almost no people getting off at the same station. Apart from the three of them, there was only a lone traffic light attendant on the platform.

Ning Yuan took out the letter, confirmed the address, and then took his two friends and walked towards the guard.

First, I followed the address on the letter and asked for directions, and then I left the train station.

Tian Erliang and Hu Lianwang waited until they got out of the station before complaining to Ning Yuan with a look of disgust on their faces.

"Brother Yuan, what kind of nonsense was that person talking just now? It was so confusing that I couldn't understand it!"

"That's right, he was talking a lot. Brother Yuan, did you understand what he said?"

Ning Yuan looked at the two guys who looked disgusted with Cantonese and couldn't help but say helplessly.

"Look at you two, you're so ignorant! You can't even understand Cantonese!"

It’s also thanks to Ning Yuan that he has liked Cantonese songs and Hong Kong movies since he was a child, so he can understand them to some extent!

"Hey, we are from the old city, why should we listen to his Cantonese?"

Hu Lianwang, however, shook his head and said, completely unconcerned.

Indeed, these guys are really quite proud of themselves psychologically.

Sijiu City is Kyoto, and the psychological sense of superiority is extremely strong!

Moreover, they are all descendants of soldiers, and after their achievements, they become extremely arrogant.

(Even in our generation, whether we are the so-called old or new Sijiucheng people, we all feel psychologically superior!)

(Fuck you, tall guy, what a sick mind! Who the hell cares about you? One time, two cars collided here, and one of them had a Beijing M license plate. The driver got out of the car and acted bossy. But no one really tolerated his bad habits. The traffic police came and directly ruled him fully responsible, but he still obediently received the fine and paid the compensation!)

Ning Yuan did not listen to the inexplicably arrogant words of the two boys, but looked around at this place that was rising rapidly in the future at a dizzying speed.

Just like the dilapidated train station in front of us, although Guangzhou has now become a city-level administrative district, all you can see are still rows of bungalows.

The messy and almost unplanned streets made Ning Yuan, Hu Lianwang, Tian Erliang and others, who came from a place like Sijiucheng where the streets were strictly planned, think that this place was just like the mountain villages they had seen in the Qinling Mountains.

"Brother Yuan? Did we get off at the wrong station? This doesn't even look like a city!"

Hu Lianwang looked at the messy streets outside the train station and asked Ning Yuan in some surprise.

After taking a look, Ning Yuan still spoke to Hu Lianwang.

"Okay, stop complaining. I didn't bring you two on a spring outing in the first place. This must be Guangzhou Station. Follow the direction that comrade pointed. Luzi Bay is over there. Keep walking west and you'll find it near the sea!"

Since Ning Yuan has already spoken, Hu Lianwang and Tian Erliang naturally have nothing to say.

The two of them carried two bags and followed Ning Yuan, walking towards the west.

After all, it was not yet the time for reform and opening up, so it was not an exaggeration to say that this was a city formed by the merger of several small fishing villages and docks.

There weren't many people on the street, most of them were busy, and their skin was tanned from the sun.

Ning Yuan relied on the fact that he knew some Cantonese, so while telling Hu Lianwang and the others about the characteristics and origins of this place, he also asked people on the roadside for directions from time to time.

Tian Erliang and Hu Lianwang listened to Ning Yuan's clear and logical explanation, and their admiration for him was beyond words.

"Hey, Brother Yuan, if you say so, this place is still our pioneer!"

Ning Yuan nodded and then added.

"Well, this place can only be called New Guangzhou, because the original Guangzhou was a little further southeast. It was a trading port in the late Qing Dynasty, with a mixed population of foreigners, so the social atmosphere was much more open than in the mainland!"

"All kinds of ideologies have found a breeding ground here, and all kinds of overseas Chinese entrepreneurs and patriots have been able to play a role here. In fact, the first few uprisings of the Xinhai Revolution all started here!"

What Ning Yuan said was not very detailed, but it was enough to make Tian Erliang and Hu Lianwang put aside their contempt.
