Chapter 2 I Raise You

(There is another update at midnight tonight, new books are uploaded by new people. Please click on the votes and collect them.)

After innocently being under house arrest for several days, under the guidance of Wu Dasai, the former confidant Wu Chaoyue, Wu Chaoyue finally walked out of the house and came to the streets of Shanghai County in 1852, but Wu Chaoyue was soon disappointed.

Compared with other county towns of this era, Shanghai, one of the five foreign commercial cities in the Qing Dynasty, was definitely considered prosperous and lively. However, for Wu Chaoyue, who had visited Shanghai before traveling through time, the current county town of Shanghai is no different from a poor kiln. The streets are narrow and dirty, the houses are low and old, and occasionally there are several decent houses, which are all government offices, and most of the people passing through the streets are worn in dilapidated. No matter how Wu Chaoyue opened his eyes wide, he could not find any shadow of the legendary Eastern Demon Capital and the Shili Foreign Field.

After carefully searching for the memories left by his ex-Wu Chaoyue, Wu Chaoyue remembered that the concession in this era was outside Shanghai City. However, when he was about to leave the city to see the concession, Wu Chaoyue found that the memories of his ex-Wu Chaoyue clearly showed that the current Shanghai Concession is actually more deserted than in Shanghai City. Apart from some foreign consulates and some foreign companies that specialize in selling imported goods, there are not even many foreigners living there. Wu Chaoyue couldn't help but feel very regretful. He knew that he had traveled too early, so it would be difficult to have the opportunity to witness the morbid and prosperous scene of Shanghai with his own eyes.

After walking for a long time, Wu Chaoyue couldn't find any fun. Wu Dasai and others were inevitably bored. Wu Chaoyue and others followed him and kept instigating Wu Chaoyue to go to the brothel and have fun again. However, no safety supplies for disease prevention have been invented in this era. Although Wu Chaoyue also likes to do some health care exercises, he really dares to take risks and gambling with his precious body, so he kept shaking his head and refuses. Wu Dasai and others were all surprised and said to himself: "Did Mr. Sun fall into the water and break his head and turn his sex?"

Wandering boredly, Wu Chaoyue and his party walked to the north gate of the county town without knowing it. They saw the Wusongjiang pier outside the city from afar. The people were crowded with boats, and people came and went farther than in the city. Wu Chaoyue finally got a little interested and walked out of the city gate. Wu Dasai next to him quickly reminded: "Master Sun, the flower boat is mainly parked on Lujiabang. Apart from fish and cargo, there are not many flower boats here."

"Shut up!" Wu Chaoyue couldn't bear it anymore and cursed: "What else can you do in your head besides the yard flower boat? Just say something more and get back!"

Wu Dasai was surprised and shut up. At this time, a noise came from the dock. Someone vaguely heard a fight. Wu Chaoyue let go of the servants who did not take him to learn. He turned around and looked at the direction where the sound came. Seeing that there were indeed many people gathering in a corner of the dock. Wu Chaoyue, who was bored, did not hesitate and immediately ran over to join in the fun. Wu Dasai quickly led a few servants to follow him and carefully protected Wu Chaoyue's left and right.

What surprised Wu Chaoyue was that when he ran to the outside of the crowd, he actually heard the sound of English speaking from the crowd, "No, no, youumis understand, Idonot curse you, Iam to you preach the gospellos the Lord, tosaye you."

Although Wu Chaoyue failed more than three and a half years in college every year, because of work needs, and because his parents have been counting on Wu Chaoyue to study abroad, Wu Chaoyue was barely able to pass English, and soon translated these English into Chinese, "No, no, you misunderstood. I am not cursing you, I am preaching the gospel of the Lord to you and redeeming you."

It was precisely because he could understand English that Wu Chaoyue was curious that he had an involuntary mind. After Wu Dasai and others helped him to force himself into the crowd, he also saw a middle-aged white man dressed in a priest surrounded by several male and female fishermen. The fishermen were holding boat poles in their hands and shouting angrily. The priest waved his hands repeatedly and kept saying in English: "Dear Chinese friends, don't misunderstand, I am not cursing you, I just want to preach to you, to you."

"Foreign devils, you're talking! Talking about human words!" A young fisherman roared angrily: "You are the only one who is guilty, your parents are the only one who is guilty, and your ancestors are guilty for 18 generations!"

"Hou Er, fight!" Another fisherman encouraged: "Run away after the fight. What should I do if this foreign devil can do to us?"

The young fisherman was obviously a furious young man with a hot temper. He didn't hesitate after hearing the instigation of his companion. He raised the boat oar and wanted to greet the priest. Wu Chaoyue, who had already vaguely guessed the reason, quickly shouted: "Stop, don't beat him!"

Shi Potian shouted in shock, and everyone's eyes naturally focused on Wu Chaoyue. Wu Chaoyue ignored Wu Dasai's advice and walked into the crowd and said to the priest in English: "Father, don't worry, I can speak English, I will translate for you and explain the misunderstanding to them."

"Oh God, Almighty! Thank you for your kindness!" The priest was overjoyed and drew a cross on his chest and said, "After all, someone can speak English, my dear Chinese friend, please help me translate, they misunderstood me."

Wu Chaoyue smiled and nodded, then turned his eyes to the angry fishermen. However, after a closer look, Wu Chaoyue's thief eyes were unexpectedly frozen on a girl dressed in a fisherman. As for the reason, of course, the fisherman girl was quite beautiful, with big eyes and small mouths and beautiful facial features, wheat-colored skin, slim and slender figures, and her long and straight beauty was extremely attractive. Even in the 21st century, Wu Chaoyue had rarely seen a woman whose appearance and figure could surpass this girl.

Everyone has a love for beauty. Wu Chaoyue, who is not a good thing in this regard, rarely encounters such a beauty. Her lustful eyes will inevitably stay on the girl's face for a moment. The girl noticed Wu Chaoyue's malicious eyes, and there was a little more shame and anger on her pink face. She shouted to Wu Chaoyue: "Boy, what are you looking at?"

"The voice is also very nice." After a secret praise in his heart, Wu Chaoyue then withdrew his greedy gaze, coughed and pretended to be majestic, and asked the fishermen: "What are you doing? Why do you want to beat this priest?"

"What are you? How dare you ask us that?" The young fisherman named Hou Er asked furiously.

"Little slut, pay attention to your mouth!" Wu Dasai jumped out to protect his master, pointed at Wu Chaoyue and said, "Do you know who this young master Wu is? His grandfather is a fourth-rank Taoist master. He offended him. Be careful that you can come to Wusongjiang Wharf and can't go home!"

Not to mention, Wu Dasai's fox and tiger power are somewhat useful. When Hou Er heard that Wu Chaoyue was a child of an official, he was somewhat restrained, but he was still very tough and said, "It's great to be an official? This foreign devil scolded me for no reason, shouldn't I hit him?"

"Why did he scold you?" Wu Chaoyue asked back, and before waiting for Hou Er to answer, he immediately said: "Did he say you are guilty and your family are guilty too?"

"How do you know?" Hou Er was a little surprised. The girl was also full of surprise. She thought to herself that this disciple was next to her just now? Didn't you see it?

"Nonsense, this is the habit of foreigners' missionary preaching. How can I not know?" Wu Chaoyue scolded and said, "You really misunderstood this priest. The religion they believe in believes that everyone in the world is guilty. Only by believing in Jesus, praying to the Lord, and praying for the Lord's forgiveness can you go to heaven."

After saying that, Wu Chaoyue quickly added and said, "The heaven they talk about is the paradise that the monks talk about. When they get there, they have food and what they want to wear. They don't suffer from poverty and suffering, but they will only live a good life. You may not believe what he said, but you must know that he is also kind and is not scolding you."

After hearing Wu Chaoyue's brief explanation, Hou Er and the girl and others were stunned and didn't know how to answer for a while. However, after seeing the proud expression on Wu Chaoyue's face, the girl with a very bad impression of Wu Chaoyue was inevitably a little unhappy, and said, "Then why didn't he say he was guilty? Why didn't he say that his parents were also guilty? If he didn't forgive his guilt, he would go to the underworld?"

When Wu Chaoyue heard this, he immediately turned to the priest, first introduced his identity in English, and then explained the situation roughly. He asked the priest to admit that he was guilty, and the priest laughed when he heard this. He immediately said in a stiff Chinese with the help of Wu Chaoyue: "Madam, you are right, I am guilty, and my father and mother are guilty. If they did not believe in the Lord, they would not be able to go to heaven. If I give up my faith, I will go to hell."

I don’t know the faith and missionary of the priest. A simple Chinese is both awkward and difficult. Many words are only learned and sold by Wu Chaoyue’s help. As a result, the girl became even more unhappy when she heard it and accused him: “No, you taught him what he said. Does that mean? Who knows if I just ask you one question, are you guilty?”

"Of course I'm guilty." Wu Chaoyue, who often teases female classmates and female colleagues, was used to becoming naturally accustomed to it, and immediately said with a smile: "Because I'm about to point out to a beautiful girl that she is also guilty and exposes her crime, so I'm guilty too."

"You..." The girl was so angry that her frivolous attitude that her face turned pale and subconsciously raised the boat oar in her hand.

"Don't be angry, you are indeed guilty." Wu Chaoyue smiled even more obscenely and said, "For example, if you fish, fish have life. They clear the pests in the water for us and clean the water quality for us. They are lively and cute. But for food and clothing, you take these cute fish onto the boat and sell them to others to make vegetables, so that they can die, and let them be separated from their parents, wife, children, brothers and sisters. How many sins have you committed? For fish, are you guilty?"

The girl was speechless and retorted unconvincedly for a while: "But if I don't fish, what should I eat? Who will raise me?"
