Started with a green hat for Verlaine

Chapter 389 Chapter 389 A Green Hat in a Foreign Country

Throughout the month of May, Victor Hugo had no time to go to Barbados.

He asked his acquaintances to find his daughter locally, and kept his eyes on the French state affairs. His youngest son went to the Paris Commune and would face the siege of the Versailles army at any time, but he had no right to stop Francois' patriotic behavior , if he is young, he himself will definitely go to the front line.

"My body is old, but my heart is never old, and I can't get old. I will always stick to the right choice, even if it's not completely right."

Victor Hugo did not allow himself to compromise.

This is why he believes that the timing of the establishment of the Paris Commune is inappropriate, but he still supports it.

There will be idiots, drunkards, and bastards, but those who rush to the front are worthy of admiration. These people are the last hot-blooded people in France and the guardians of Paris.

Victor Hugo stood in front of his elder daughter's mourning hall, thinking of his children.

"Francois, you must return safely."

"Adele... I don't want to blame you anymore. Come back to your parents. Maybe my daughter will never have a happy marriage. I will give you a final shelter and never abandon you."

His affection for Adele Hugo is not as good as that of his elder daughter, but it does not mean that he does not love his younger daughter.

Even though, during the time when the youngest daughter was born, his wife cheated on an admirer who followed him in the past, and he was so disgusted that he turned his grief into strength and wrote "Notre Dame de Paris".Now that he is over fifty years old and his wife died three years ago, he has already let go of those grievances. In retrospect, he really ignored the feelings of his youngest daughter.

On May 26, the latest battle situation came from Paris, France.

The Paris Commune was coming to an end.

The Versailles army led by the government increased to 10,000+ people, fully equipped with weapons, and with the acquiescence and help of the Germans, they began to frantically suppress those members of the Paris Commune and take back the occupied cities.Victor Hugo saw the content of the letter that night, and he was heartbroken. In his name, he expressed his position to the newspaper, strongly condemning the bestiality that killed patriots.

The newspapers would not publish it until the next day, and Victor Hugo was desperate to take in the members of the Paris Commune who were about to go into exile.

He suddenly received a third letter in the name of the publisher.

[Mr. Hugo, if you want to take those people in, please transfer the property properly and protect your loved ones before publishing the announcement.The Belgian government will not agree with your actions, you will face deportation at that time, there may be thugs who will get your home address and come to your door to retaliate against you, I don’t know if my letter will change your opinion, I just want explain--】

[Please pay attention to safety and don't put yourself in a dangerous situation. 】

【—Worried about your readers. 】

Victor Hugo didn't tell his wife what he was thinking, but someone thousands of miles away guessed what he was going to do and gave him care and vigilance.

This kind of content was mixed with bad news one after another, and Victor Hugo looked relieved. He had already contacted Hearst and Blackett Publishing Company, and his old friend had not sent him a letter. Help him find Adele's whereabouts are a strange sender.

The other party's respect and admiration for him in between the lines is not fake. I don't know when I have a reader who is very familiar with him in England.

"How could I disappoint the people who admired me."

After Victor Hugo calmed down, he read carefully what he had written to the newspaper.

Only changed a little.

He swapped the address for asylum seekers with other properties.

Victor Hugo was a man who knew how to make money and how to buy a house. He lived a much better life than other impoverished writers.Whichever city he lives in, he will buy local real estate with investment value. Just near the Grand Place in Brussels, he bought three real estate to settle his relatives.

"Dear Juliet, let's prepare to leave Belgium." After finishing important matters, Victor Hugo informed his lover Juliet Drouet of his decision and transferred the property in time.

The next day, the most famous newspaper in Brussels, Belgium published Victor Hugo's announcement.

"Exiled members of the Paris Commune may take refuge in my house!"

"The location is 10 Barricade Square, Brussels, Belgium!"

The Belgian government went berserk.

Victor Hugo, as a political asylum seeker in Belgium, you still want to bless others? !

You want to provoke the hornet's nest in Paris for Belgium!

Over there in Paris, Arthur Rimbaud follows François-Victor to and fro, hiding and defending Paris with all his might, while witnessing the bloody changes of May.

Arthur Rimbaud's mentality has undergone a huge change, and he has established a rare friendship between life and death with François Victor.If there was no other party, he thought that he might have been scared away halfway, and he couldn't even hold a gun. There were so many dead people, so many that there were tears in his eyes.

The most dangerous time, Arthur Rimbaud directly wrote down the will, and the two kept each other's last words, and whoever escaped would help each other send letters.

François Victor said: "I am most concerned about my father. My brother just passed away. Fortunately, I found my sister's whereabouts in time. He still has a child by his side."

Speaking of his father, François Victor had a look of pride on his dusty face.

Arthur Rimbaud said enviously: "My mother is a country woman who always likes to catch lice for children who can't sleep in summer. She is very strict with me. She doesn't know that I ran out to participate in the Paris Commune. She just thought that her rebellious son ran away from home, I don't need to tell her the situation, she can't wait for me, she will always feel that I live somewhere."

François Victor said: "Then your will..."

Arthur Rimbaud said: "I don't want my mother to be sad, but I can make my father sad." There was a look of resentment and guilt on his face, "Give him my letter and let that irresponsible father do it for me." The final decision, whether to tell mom about the death."

François Victor said: "Where does your father live?"

Arthur Rimbaud had water in his eyes, sniffed his nose, the food in the Paris Commune was exhausted, he was hungry, his saliva was sour, he hadn't brushed his teeth for many days, and he was too embarrassed to speak and show his teeth.He said pitifully: "I don't know his exact address. He was a soldier and left when I was six years old. Maybe you have to ask for me."

While talking, he wrote down the address of his hometown.

The hope for his father became stronger than ever during the war. He can never forget his childhood without a father, and he can't forget his dream in a narrow world.

"He'll be proud of me, if not, he'll be fucked!"

At this moment, Arthur Rimbaud had a clear conscience.

Be crazy, be totally crazy!There is no room for indecision in times of war!

On May 27, after the paper was published, the Belgian government expelled Victor Hugo.

On May 28, the Paris Commune failed.

On May 50th, [-] people broke into Victor Hugo's house which was published in the newspaper, but all came to nothing. There was no Hugo and his family inside.

Victor Hugo left Belgium by boat with his longtime lover.

On board, Victor Hugo wrote a letter of thanks to those who reminded him, the address was the old place, and it was sent to the post office in Dublin, England.Victor Hugo's favorite Juliet Drouet walked to his side, not daring to disturb him, and asked after writing the letter: "Which old friend is worthy of your attention, and when you leave Want to write a letter?"

Victor Hugo asked back: "Why didn't you guess it was a letter to your son?"

The 26-year-old Juliette Drouet who was with him smiled, vaguely showing the charm of an actress when she was young, "I have written letters to you for 39 years." She said with certainty, "What kind of expression, I have a deeper understanding of what kind of letter to write than many people.”

Victor Hugo rubbed his shoulders and said with emotion: "It's a letter to a reader."

Juliet Drouet wonders: "What's so special about him?"

Victor Hugo said: "He told me the whereabouts of my daughter and reminded me to leave Belgium. I am very grateful to him. Although I am a little uncomfortable, it seems that someone is watching me quietly with a pair of eyes, but I Unexpectedly, there was no rejection."

Juliet Drouet nodded: "I should be grateful to him."

She made the decision, put the francs in the envelope, and the old woman smiled slyly.

"There is no evidence for what you say, you have to give some money."

This "heavy" letter was sent to the United Kingdom across the English Channel, and Victor Hugo took his relatives to Jersey Island near the French coast, where he revived his old business and never forgot to make a statement for the motherland. Support those fleeing from the Paris Commune.

The whistle sounded outside the window, at the same time, with the same tune, as if silently calling for people to come to the window to look out.At that time, Ma Shengqiu was also carefully reading the rental information in the newspaper, planning to rent a larger apartment with Oscar Wilde, at least two bedrooms, one living room and one study.

He immerses himself in the work of earning and saving money, and forgets the troubles of the outside world.

In order to reduce the number of nightmares Wilde had, he wrapped the wound on his neck with white gauze. This era had not yet invented the bandage that Osamu Dazai loved to use.

Ma Shengqiu also used the whistle as the background sound.

until--

"Sir! I'm in school! I'm telling you—I'm in school again!"

"I'm studying at Methims College in Dublin!"

Regardless of the surprise of others, the young man shouted loudly along the street, staring at every window, wanting to see his benefactor open the window.

Unfortunately, among the people living here, only a fat lady opened the window and said.

"Son, please don't yell."

"sorry!"

The young man hurriedly apologized, his skin was thin, and he explained with a blushing face: "I'm thanking the good man who helped me, but he doesn't want to see me. I have to finish talking and leave. Please give me some time."

The fat lady smiled understandingly: "Okay, I'll give you a minute."

The boy cherishes a minute of disturbing others.

He ran back and forth, shouting.

"I'm 14 years old, my name is George-Bernard-Shaw!"

"Thank you--!"

The penetrating thanks pierced into Aso Akiya's ears, distracting him slightly.

[I saved another child. 】

[His age... is like Ranpo who came to Yokohama back then. 】

Aso Qiu also thought of Ranpo, but couldn't help but think of Chuya, Aji, Hongye, Hisaku...

These children will investigate the cause of his death and be angry at his "suicide".

That was his choice after despair.

How silly.

See, the boss of the port mafia died for love.

Ma Shengqiu was also bitter, but he couldn't think of regret. Death was the ending he chose.

A sensational death once, let everyone remember themselves - ants can also try their best to kill elephants.

"My name is—George—Bernard—Shaw—!"

Repeated voices appear.

Ma Shengqiu's thoughts were also interrupted, and he remembered the other party: "This child's name is George, a typical British name."

GeorgeBernardShaw (George Bernard Shaw)?

Why does it sound a little familiar, Shaw?Xiao?That's how it's translated in English.

If you read the name backwards it would be——

George Bernard Shaw? ? ?

Ma Shengqiu also stood up abruptly, hurriedly walked to the window, and opened a corner of the curtain.

He saw the back of the boy shrugging his shoulders and leaving disappointed.

However, the other party walked towards the school.

Ma Shengqiu is also in a trance. Historically, George Bernard Shaw lived in Dublin, Ireland. He dropped out of school at the age of 15 to find a job. He gave the other party a chance to make money last month, and he directly rewrote history.

"I... gave Bernard Shaw a chance to continue his studies?"

Ma Shengqiu also thought of many literary giants who dropped out of school, and his fingers trembled slightly.

Unexpectedly, the young man walking on the road seemed to see something, and suddenly turned his head.

separated by a distance of tens of meters.

The boy grinned at the man looming behind the curtain.

The sun was just right, the poor boy whistled, waved his hand, and left without embarrassment, just like a chance meeting, two parallel lines intertwined with chance.

Both knew this would not be the last time they saw each other.

……

In Trinity College, Oscar Wilde, who was listening to a class, thought distractedly.

【Won't Qiu get bored in the apartment? 】

--Won't.

——Ma Shengqiu even got a surprise surprise.

In Dublin in this era, not only Wilde's pigeon can be excavated!
