Started with a green hat for Verlaine

Chapter 438 Chapter 438 A Green Hat in a Foreign Country

That night, Arthur Rimbaud slept in a single room in the hotel next door.

He didn't fall asleep quickly, but he couldn't control his cranky thoughts. Too many things happened today, crowded and buzzing in his mind.

[Verlaine is a bastard, a softie. 】

[I shouldn't turn around and care about him, seeing his useless surprise. 】

【The person I can trust the most in Paris is Mr. Wang Qiu. He did not inform my mother, respected my opinion, and gave me a place to stay...】

[Mr. Wang Qiu's former lover was named Rimbaud, is he related to me by blood? 】

[I'm so confused, how old is Mr. Wang Qiu? He looks very young! 】

【Ahhh! 】

"I don't have that father, I only have Mr. Wang Qiu as my father!"

Arthur Rimbaud tossed and thought, thinking of the winter cold in his home every year, he curled up involuntarily, hid in the quilt and sobbed, "Are they okay? I miss my mother and sister a little bit, but I don't Earn enough royalties, before I came back, I paid Verlaine's medical expenses, and went to the post office to send 200 francs home..."

"Hospitals in Paris are so expensive... If you don't go to the hospital, it will cost me 10 francs just to bandage your hands..."

"If only I had enough money..."

The soft and clean bedding, the pillows that can be hugged by others, all exude the smell of being exposed to the sun. As soon as he smells it, he knows that he has been told by the boss, otherwise the best room in this hotel will also be furnished. There were old bedding.

This is a hotel worth 20 francs a day, which is above average in Paris.

Arthur Rimbaud fell into a drowsy sleep, the door of the room was pushed open, and he took a look at his sleeping posture in the middle of the night, and then he closed the window he forgot to close, and the shadow slowly left.

Every beautiful boy who is sleeping sweetly is like an angel loved by God.

Even though.

This angel wakes up as a little devil.

After Ma Shengqiu also opened a room for Arthur Rimbaud for three days, he didn't care about this man's whereabouts during the day. He had his own things to do, such as making more money, and when he was free, he would read "St. Dong's Temptation" to watch the "content" reflected in the book.

He grew to know Gustave Flaubert of Wenye better and better.

At the same time, he knew the situation in another world. After his death, the Paris Opera House in France and the Royal Opera House in Britain successively launched operas that alluded to themselves.

Gustave Flaubert turned out to be an opera lover!

Through the perspective of the other party, Ma Shengqiu has also watched one after another thunderous opera.

As for the other party's night life, Ma Shengqiu generally respected him, closed the book, and did not look at what Gustave Flaubert did at night.

He desperately wants to see the children in the family, even if he just takes a look, it can let him release the pressure of being tortured by guilt.In addition, he can't say that he has given up the world without conscience, how do people think of him?How does the French government judge his relationship with Lantang?Before and after his own death, what happened between Rimbaud and Verlaine?

Ma Shengqiu could not get these questions from Gustave Flaubert. It seemed that the other party had a deep taboo on this matter and was unwilling to talk about it with anyone.

Aso can only know that "Artille Rimbaud" went to England to see his "portrait".

What is a portrait?

Can a painting send a French transcendent to British territory?

He speculates that it has something to do with the supernatural power of the British. Oscar Wilde's supernatural power may be the "portrait", which corresponds to the three-dimensional masterpiece "The Portrait of Dorian Gray".

Of course, Oscar Wilde's supernatural powers may also be the other three masterpieces: "Salome", "From the Deep", and "The Happy Prince".

"Salome" is famous for adapting Bible stories, "From the Deep" is famous for Oscar Wilde's bitter homosexual love after he was imprisoned, and "The Happy Prince" is famous for the fairy tales written by Oscar Wilde, popular in "Dorian Gray" on the portrait of .

"Don't be in a hurry."

Ma Shengqiu also comforted himself in this way, writing more proposals each time.

With dense schedules and newspapers on the table, he extracted ways to make money formally from the ongoing historical events one by one.

The stock market has been turbulent recently, countless companies have closed down, and stock trading is strictly prohibited. Instead of taking high-risk games, he might as well invest with people who are destined to make money in history.Out of professional ethics, he didn't forget to remind his clients that they were not in the business of stocks and railroads.

Moreover, he wants to take off the bandages and walk in the outside world in a real way, and he can't wait so long for the future Oscar Wilde to become famous.

Either have money.

To be considered rich, one must have a net worth of more than £[-].

Either have the right.

The status cannot be lower than that of a member of the House of Commons, and the status cannot be lower than that of a baronet.

He didn't want to follow the path of being a noble in Jin Dynasty. It was too troublesome, and he might be attacked by public opinion if he was not careful. After all, he didn't have European blood.Mastering money is the best way, people want to live in the sun, to be a man of indomitable spirit!

During the school holidays, Oscar Wilde spent Christmas at home, without saying hello to anyone, single-handedly went to France, and reported in the newspaper that Ma Shengqiu often read to find someone.

"Le Figaro", "News", and "French Journal" successively published the content of an interesting missing person notice.

【The person I love the most, you are on a never-ending journey, which makes my heart ache, but I know that is your choice, and I can't stop you. 】

【I will never forget your deep eyes and light-colored lips stained with snowflakes. You came from pure white, shining in the dark night, mixed with the breath of wind and snow.You are the Persephone who was chased by Hades. With the guidance of the gods, you escaped from the car of Pluto, and the god of death did not have the heart to harvest your life... I shout for your beauty, the holiday is here, I You are about to move, please let the loyal believers of the God of Beauty find you. 】

【—Oscar waiting for you in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. 】

Aso Qiuya: "..."

You are really commendable.

Does he have a dime relationship with Persephone!

Pure land of bliss?You can't wait to go chat with Pluto?

Ma Shengqiu also put down his work, turned around and found Oscar Wilde in the best cafe on the Champs-Elysees. The other party was wearing a pink suit that made him look fat easily, with a fitted vest inside, reflecting his vigorous figure. A sunflower in a vase.

Oscar Wilde was amazed by his speed and waved his hands quickly: "Here I am!"

Aso Qiu also harvested a sunflower.

--spendthrift.

Where does the sunflower come from this season? It is not a luxury that is artificially cultivated.

Oscar Wilde ordered a glass of absinthe for the seated person, full of curiosity about how the other party found this place immediately, Ma Shengqiu also sighed: "The name of the Champs-Elysees Avenue comes from Greek mythology, and there is a fairyland in mythology. Also known as the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss."

Champs-Elysees Avenue, also known as Elysees Garden Avenue, there is an Elysee Paradise in the underworld, where only innocent people can live carefree after death.

"I heard that the absinthe here is very famous. Have you come to taste it?" Oscar Wilde smiled because he had a heart-to-heart connection with him. He didn't show his teeth, which perfectly covered his not-so-good teeth.Ma Shengqiu also picked up the absinthe, and tasted it for the first time. The bitter wine mixed with the aroma of herbs created a strange taste: "Why did you come to Paris? I don't say I'm done with the matter, I'll go back and look for it. You?"

Oscar Wilde complained bitterly: "How do I know when you're done with it? You seem to have endless work and endless people. I've been left behind by you."

Oscar Wilde whipped out a stylish travel leaflet.

"You have to make it up to me once!"

Ma Shengqiu also took a closer look. He was going to Switzerland, and there was no chance of making money there.

He immediately wanted to refuse. Before he could say "No", Oscar Wilde covered his mouth and said like a shotgun: "I want to buy a Swiss Breguet watch, which is loved by the Queen of England." watches, as well as the snow-capped mountains in Switzerland, a world like a fairy tale, where countless literati and writers linger! Among the people who have been there are your favorite Hugo, Dumas, Balzac, Shelley, Rousseau, Goethe, Thor Stey, Pushkin——!!!"

Oscar Wilde announced the names of eight famous writers in one breath.

Ma Shengqiu was also moved.

Oscar Wanger's eyes were full of tears, and he wanted to persuade this person to go on a trip together, and said in a deep tone: "What did you feel from it?"

Ma Shengqiu also replied sincerely: "They are quite rich..."

At the end of the nineteenth century, only the upper-middle class wealthy people could travel abroad.

Oscar Wilde was about to say "vulgar", but he didn't dare to say it after seeing those dark eyes that were shining with a smile.At this point, Ma Shengqiu had already given up on his original plan, and asked with a chuckle, "That's why you want to go to Switzerland. Are there any famous writers in Switzerland?"

Oscar Wilde named several Swiss writers.

Ma Shengqiu also shook his head: "I haven't heard of it."

Oscar Wilde wanted to cry, but he was discouraged: "Otherwise, let's go to Italy."

Ma Shengqiu also said: "Italy is farther than Switzerland."

Oscar Wilde: "?"

Ma Shengqiu also pinched Wilde's face, the chubby fat was lost, and the healthy light red skin was more. This person's weight loss is really effective.

"For your hard work, let's go skiing."

in the hotel.

Arthur Rimbaud found out that the building was empty and got a small note from the hotel owner.

[I went skiing in Switzerland with my Irish friends. 】

Switzerland? ? ?

Arthur Rimbaud had a sour mouth and asked, "How much does it cost to go skiing in Switzerland?"

The hotel owner said casually: "The train ticket plus board and lodging, as well as the equipment for skiing in the snow-capped Alps, should add up to at least 300 francs."

Arthur Rimbaud shed tears of poverty.

"Damn rich man!"

It is very close from France to Switzerland.

The southeastern part of France is connected to the Alps, and the distance between the two countries is about the same as a Chinese province in the previous life. There is no way, the territory of a foreign country is too small.

Although they missed Christmas, at the end of the year, the two of them were still sitting in a Christmas car pulled by reindeer, and Oscar Wilde was forced to put on a thick coat over his pink suit. Clothes bought for him on the way to Switzerland.

It was snowing outside, and Ma Shengqiu was also sitting in the carriage flipping through a book of fairy tales. He was like a silent person who could not radiate heat, in contrast to Wilde who was wrapped in a bear.

Oscar Wilde teased: "Are you still a child at heart?"

Ma Shengqiu also said: "Do you dare to say that you are not interested in the original version of Andersen's Fairy Tales?"

Oscar Wilde stood in awe.

Original!

This stands for Uncensored Content!

Oscar Wilde muttered: "I haven't read the original version. Is the ending of "The Daughter of the Sea" different? Are the mermaid princess and the prince together?"

Ma Shengqiu also replied: "There is not much modification, they are still not together."

Oscar Wilde disappointed: "It's not the same as Grimm's Fairy Tales."

Ma Shengqiu also disagreed: "Andersen's Fairy Tales is gentler, it is suitable for children and adults to read, I don't want to read the dark version of the bloody story."

That's not called dream fulfillment, it's called ruining childhood!

Arriving at a ski resort in Switzerland, Aso Akiya and Oscar Wilde met a group of people who were going to climb a mountain.Oscar Wilde saw that they were from England. Out of respect for mountain climbing, which is an extremely physically demanding sport, he chatted with them and learned that they were from the Alpine Club in London. No wonder everyone was well equipped.

Oscar Wilde whispered: "George Bernard Shaw will definitely be one of them in the future."

Ma Shengqiu also glanced over, "I also support you to join."

Oscar Wilde clung to his warm fur coat and refused to go to high altitudes.

Those people read the joke, but said out of good intentions: "Mountain climbing is not an easy thing. Start by climbing the hills first, and then climb the Alps when you have more experience."

The captain of the Alpine Club said, "It's time to go."

A group of people went away and met the guide, and some English words they exchanged drifted away in the wind.

Oscar Wilde admired: "They are going to climb the Matterhorn!"

Aso didn't know why.

Oscar Wilde explained to him: "A very dangerous and steep mountain, more than 4000 meters above sea level, is the most famous mountain in the Alps. Many people have died. I heard that there is a church at the foot of the mountain, which is full of victims. tombstone."

Ma Shengqiu also understood: "If you go with your physical strength, you will definitely die?"

Oscar Wilde choked on his reading comprehension.

Looking at the scenery, isn't it good to go skiing?

He grabbed the black-haired man and dragged him to the ski field to rent equipment: "Let's go skiing!"

Ma Shengqiu also said lightly: "With me here, even if you are climbing a mountain, I will not let you have an accident." This is his promise to Oscar Wilde, whether it is natural disasters or man-made disasters, he will use this With the body of a dead person to resist all dangers.

"I... I'm not interested in climbing mountains. That's Bernard Shaw's hobby."

Oscar Wilde's chest warmed, dispelling embarrassing thoughts.

The corners of his mouth were raised high.

In one word, happy!

Skiing is a favorite sport for men in the European upper class. Oscar Wilde is no exception. He learns to ski clumsily, and it doesn’t hurt when he falls. .

After living here for a few days, Oscar Wilde gradually understood the local climate in Switzerland, and summer is a good season for mountain climbing. He could not help but have a doubt.

"Why do those people run to climb mountains in winter?"

"You just found out."

Ma Shengqiu didn't need to drink hot water either, and left the freshly boiled hot water to Wilde.

"It's not for extreme sports." Ma Shengqiu also said simply, "They have another purpose."

Oscar Wilde held a cup of hot water and asked for an answer with bright eyes.

Ma Shengqiu also said: "I saw the tools they brought. There were normal items such as ropes and ice shovels, and there was also a very abnormal item."

Oscar Wilde recalled vigorously: "Looks like a tent?"

Ma Shengqiu also denied: "It's not a tent. If I'm not wrong in my judgment, it's something like a body bag, used to protect and drag the corpse."

Oscar Wilde was terrified: "Corpse, body bag?!"

Ma Shengqiu also saw that he didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, and felt helpless for the other party's coquettishness.Children from rich families have such a personality, they have never experienced hardships, and they don't want to be exposed to bad news.

Ma Shengqiu is also on a relaxing vacation, and his brain is unwilling to stop thinking.

Based on the information he inquired, a month ago, when the weather was not so cold, a small avalanche occurred on the Matterhorn. Oscar said that people often die when climbing the mountain. It is very likely that the avalanche exposed some buried bodies. out,

These people came here after receiving the news. First, they might want to try their luck. Second, one of the people who died there should be their friend or a dignitary.

It's a pity that he doesn't think the six people in the Alpine Club can succeed——

The number of people is too small.

There is hope for at least ten people working together.

High-altitude areas are prone to hypoxia, which is a test of people's cardiopulmonary function and physical strength. A dead body that has been frozen by a snow mountain weighs about [-] catties.

Sure enough, Ma Shengqiu also waited for the return of those people.

Oscar Wilde didn't see the corpse, heaved a sigh of relief, and talked enthusiastically again.

The six Englishmen would not say much, and sighed: "It didn't work."

Not only was it unsuccessful, they couldn't even get close to the corpse. The corpse was between the glacier cliffs, and the degree of difficulty was so high that they would confess to it if they were not careful.

Oscar Wilde asked: "Who are you trying to save?"

The people at the Alpine Club have become closed mouths, refusing to reveal it, as if it were a secret.

Oscar Wilde got a cold face, became unhappy, met by chance, and cared about the person the other party wanted to rescue, wouldn't it work?

Ma Shengqiu also said: "Oscar, let's go eat barbecue!"

Oscar Wilde was distracted from these unlovables.

The fragrant barbecue could not arouse Oscar Wilde's appetite. Oscar Wilde ate the food unhappily. Aso Qiu also flexed his fingers and flicked the barbecue stick.

"You are stupid, you will fail if you ask others the secret of getting rich."

"Get rich?"

"I often hear people say that if a relative of a rich man has an accident, they will ask someone to move the corpse at a high price. Due to the extremely high difficulty of moving, the rich man almost pays for his life."

"For a corpse, take the life of a living person..."

Oscar Wilde disagreed, but Ma Shengqiu was not surprised by this. Most people have the idea of ​​letting the dead go to the ground to rest in peace. At least the rich will pay to do such things for family or love, instead of dispatching A group of death squads went up the mountain.

He was faintly moved.

For those dead whose loved ones did not give up on saving.

For countless years, there have always been people waiting to bury the dead of their loved ones, such as the famous road sign on Mount Everest - "green shoes".Countless people have witnessed the mountain climber lying in the snow and wearing green shoes, his loved ones were extremely sad, but he could not afford the high price of taking it down the mountain.

Ma Shengqiu also asked Oscar Wilde: "Shall we take a look?"

Oscar Wilde: "No—! I don't climb mountains!"

Ma Shengqiu also asked for opinions: "Then I went alone?"

Oscar Wilde was dumbfounded.

Ma Shengqiu also smiled and said: "Don't worry too much, I don't think those people seem to have climbed very high, we just go and see, if you are not strong enough, I will carry you down the mountain."

Oscar Wilde, under the gentle request of the other party, agreed.

"it is good."

Ma Shengqiu also found a guide for the Matterhorn.

After questioning, he learned that the other party was a member of a French guide company, not a private guide of unknown origin.This person knew the route of the Matterhorn very well. Hearing that they wanted to go up the mountain to the route just now, he hesitated: "That's on the steep north side..."

Ma Shengqiu also asked, "Did they go to a place with a very high altitude?"

The guide said: "That's not true. They are looking for friends who fell off the glacier. The location is about 2000 meters above sea level."

Ma Shengqiu still did not give up the idea of ​​taking Wilde up the mountain to experience life. This altitude is similar to Lijiang in Yunnan Province, and generally there is no altitude sickness.

Oscar Wilde was very obedient at the moment, and said docilely: "I will wait for your return at the same place."

Aso Qiuya: "...Ah."

Ma Shengqiu also said earnestly: "Don't you want to feel the charm of life and death on the glacier?"

Oscar Wilde shook his head frantically: "I love life!"

Ma Shengqiu also gave a "tsk", which is completely different from his own Azhi.

Ma Shengqiu also gave up his original idea and started to learn mountain climbing after skiing.

Exercise is fun.

His physical fitness is so good that he is "inhuman", which gives him a sense of accomplishment.

The trip to Switzerland seemed to be a good start. With "The Temptation of St. Anton" in hand, Ma Shengqiu relaxed his mind, walked out of a depressive life, and became more and more fond of learning new skills.He simply adapted to the climbing tools, and the previous climbing training gave him a good foundation. He is the one who climbed Raibo Street with bare hands!

January [-]st.

At the foot of the mountain, Oscar Wilde drank hot soup and waited for the return of autumn with peace of mind.

An old man saw the appearance of this rich boy, shook his head, and walked to the church in a vicissitudes of life, to pay homage to the dead who died there.

It didn't take a day for Ma Shengqiu to follow the guide down the mountain. The guide was exhausted and out of breath. He didn't make any difference, and sat beside Oscar Wilde under the admiring eyes of others.

He handed the other party a badge: "Do you know it? I saw a corpse on the way back. It was very young. I found this thing on the corpse."

This is a crimson and gold badge, with a red love heart in the middle, surrounded by a crown, extremely dignified, and above it, it seems that there is a cupid playing a harp.

Intentionally planting flowers but not blooming, unintentionally planting willows and willows make a shade.

Ma Shengqiu is also a typical thought in the previous life: come and come.

He had the idea of ​​climbing a mountain and wanted to see the pure Alps scenery. After all, finding someone was all about luck, and the snow might bury the body at any time.Who knew that he underestimated the guide, and the guide who made a living by this just found the secret location of the seven people in the Alpine Club by relying on his memory.

"It belongs to the nobility." Oscar Wilde took the badge and carefully identified it.

When Oscar Wilde looked at the harp, his face turned black, "The harp generally represents Ireland. There is no such badge in the Irish aristocratic family in my memory, indicating that it came from other places. The golden harp is on the coat of arms of the British royal family, which symbolizes their conquest. over the exploits of Ireland."

Aso Qiuya: "What else?"

Oscar Wilde said angrily, "Don't save this man."

Ma Shengqiu also said bluntly, "Okay, I will listen to your opinion."

Oscar Wilde was furious, blinked his eyes quickly, and said in shame: "Qiu should do what he thinks. I don't know him, and I haven't made any enemies. What I said just now was outrageous. I shouldn't put the Irishman's Hate involved a stranger."

Ma Shengqiu also retreated: "Then let's investigate his identity slowly and dig out his origin. If he didn't participate in the war against Ireland, we will rescue him."

Oscar Wilde was relieved and smiled: "Good!"

They spend the end and the beginning of the year in Switzerland, eating good food and never mentioning the badge.

But the origin of the badge was still investigated by Aso Qiu.

—The Douglas family.

The red heart in the middle of the badge symbolizes the heroic feat of the ancestors of the Douglas family who paid the price of their lives for escorting the king's heart into Jerusalem.

The name of this family rang in Aso Qiuya's ears like thunder.

It is one of the most prominent families in Scotland!

It even has a relationship with the future Oscar Wilde!

Ma Shengqiu also held the badge in his hand, and fell into deep thought. The face of the dead person seemed to be reflected in front of his eyes. He seemed to see the other's stiff and cold face, with the horror from before death remaining.

The body was well preserved.

It was a rather young European aristocratic teenager.

Seven years ago, seven people went to climb the Matterhorn, setting a historical record for the first ascent!

However, it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down. On the way back down the mountain, they had an accident, the rope broke, and the four fell off the glacier and died on the Matterhorn.The bodies of three of them were recovered, and the whereabouts of only Francis Douglas are unknown!

This incident caused an uproar in the UK. The Douglas family still does not believe it was an accident.

Because there was a suspected knife cut on the rope, those who survived could not argue.

"So, this person should be... Percy's uncle?"

Aso Qiu also stared at the badge subtly.

Here comes a new problem.

What is the attitude of the current head of the Douglas family, Percy's father, the Marquis who inherited the title of "Queensbury" towards his late brother?

"If it works properly, I may be able to get rid of the image of the masked man and walk in the light."

Compared with the impression of his previous life, his mentality has undergone a great change. He no longer hates the Marquis who separated his son and Wilde in the movie, and feels a sense of security.

On the safety of the straight man of steel to the two-dimensional paper man.

……

"Oscar Wilde's Lover": Men should not be beautiful and charming, this is disgusting.

— Lord Queensberry.
