Started with a green hat for Verlaine

"How can you be so stupid!"

In the ward, Tolstoy, who was recuperating, propped himself up, ignoring the family drama that Turgenev saw, and yelled at his wife who didn't know what happened.

"What happened?" Sophia's eyes were disturbed, and she saw the newspaper beside the bed.Every day, newspapers are sent to the writer's ward of the hospital, so that sick writers can also see the latest current events and submitted literary works.

The latest issue of a London newspaper blatantly read: "Wang Qiu's true identity? What kind of past does this Oriental have?"

Tolstoy was angry: "Mary, close the door! You also go out!"

The nurse was kicked out by Tolstoy.

Tolstoy glared at Turgenev again, and Turgenev said kindly, "Do you want me to go out too?"

After finishing speaking, there is no need to chase people away, Turgenev put on his shoes and walked out of the ward.

The sound of arguing broke out behind the door of the ward, mixed with the name "Wang Qiu".

The man is questioning.

The woman whimpered and refuted something.

Turgenev shook his head, feeling disgusted. The newspaper said that the leaker was a foreign female aristocrat, and he guessed that Mrs. Tolstoy caused the trouble. "I used to think that he had a happy marriage and married a A good woman who helped him concentrate on writing, but unfortunately she doesn't have good morals and accomplishments, just like other noble ladies."

Turgenev didn't know how true or false what was written in the newspaper was. He thought that Wang Qiu must have scars on his body, even the skin on his neck blocked it.

He felt unspeakable pity for Wang Qiu.

Aristocrats and commoners, the inhuman class system oppresses a stranger.

Compared with the pain of public opinion that Wang Qiu endured, the world is more concerned about the skin under the other party's clothes, whether there are traces of torture on the white skin.

In the ward, Tolstoy was extremely disappointed by Sophia's defense, and he laughed angrily: "How dare you say that you didn't leak it? Who is the foreign noble lady mentioned in the newspaper? Which woman told the reporter that her own The husband contracted a terrible disease, and after being admitted to the hospital, he was bewitched by Wang Qiu, so that he refused to leave the hospital anyway?"

"These British...hehe, now they all know that I'm in the hospital!"

Tolstoy slammed the table, and the sound of "bang" hit Sophia's heart like a thunderstorm, and she was soaked by the downpour.

"I've become a disgraceful gay in the eyes of the British."

"The evidence was actually provided by my wife."

"My wife swears and tells others that her husband likes Wang Qiu's face. After looking at Wang Qiu's body, he found that there are many scars on it. Do you think you can say 'I don't know' and you will be fine?"

"Do you know that such slander will cause great harm to Wang Qiu?"

"He's not the kind of person you think at all!"

"Immediately! Get out and send me a report to prove that everything is false. You are the one who said these false words out of jealousy!"

This was the only way Tolstoy could come up with before his head became dizzy.

Sophia stopped crying, and resentfully said: "Isn't it like this?"

Tolstoy looked at his weak wife in disbelief.

Sophia dropped a diary she was carrying with her on the ground.

"I admit that I hate him and the person you like. I am your wife. You would rather believe outsiders than my words. I never mentioned your and Wang Qiu's names from the beginning to the end. I just said He is an Oriental."

"Those who speculate maliciously are journalists, and those who make big troubles are British nobles."

She raised her head and trembled, like a female prisoner who claimed to be righteous but refused to bow to the cruel society.

"I am not wrong!"

"He is covered in scars in your diary, and he dare not announce it to the public!"

"Does a normal person have dense scars all over his body? Why do you have to be close to such a person? I can't understand! I dare not understand! How did you tell me in words? You, Tolstoy, liked I have passed many men—from then on, I am jealous of all the men who approach you!"

"You love everyone, but I only love you!"

"I want you to love me too!"

Sophia tore apart the hypocrisy between the two, eager to show her heart to each other. All her jealousy comes from love!

Tolstoy blushed with anger and his heart beat faster.

He was trembling and speechless.

Sophia turned pale with fright, fearing to provoke Tolstoy, she stepped forward to help him, but Tolstoy pushed him away and escaped from the ward, but Sophia hugged him tightly from behind, desperately trying to persuade him to stay. :"do not go!"

The screams in the corridor were too loud. It didn't take long for doctors and nurses to come in to do the inspection and comfort the patient and his family members.

Knowing this, Turgenev sighed and said to Mary: "I don't want to go back and get involved in their affairs, you take me to see Wang Qiu, and I am willing to testify for Wang Qiu that everything belongs to Mrs. Tolstoy." Evil."

Even if doing so would destroy the last bit of his friendship with the Tolstoys and make it difficult for the two families to reconcile, he must do so.

This is his conscience.

Russian writers never act as accomplices to others.

Mary accompanied Turgenev to the company, and Ma Shengqiu, who had not seen outsiders for several days, also received the two of them. After he heard about Turgenev's intentions, those negative emotions that were pointed at the spine by the public were suddenly relieved.

There are good people and there are bad people. The national-level writers who can make their names in history are definitely not lacking in public morality. Those who oppose feudal dictatorship and the atrocities of the nobles often come from the upper class of society. They are against their own class from the bottom of their hearts.

"Mr. Turgenev, first of all thank you for coming. It is my surprise that you are willing to testify publicly for me."

"Don't worry, please listen to my rumors."

"The rumormongers are mainly the news media and the aristocrats behind them. The news media is to create gimmicks. It can be said that they are accomplices. The aristocrats are the masterminds. They have been trying to drag me into the dust for a long time. Because of me and the Marquis The relationship and contribution made within the UK is hard to come by."

"I have experienced the similar behavior of throwing sewage in France. They spread rumors that I had sex with men and asked me to go to court for a physical examination. Fortunately, some accidents happened halfway, and I escaped disaster after disaster."

"If it's another person, it's probably already planted."

"I can successfully protect myself and live safely to this day, relying on my relationship with the writer, the Douglas family, and the Austrian general."

Ma Shengqiu also analyzed his situation for Turgenev.

Turgenev's stomach was churning, and he hated it: "Those people are always glamorous on the outside, talk behind their backs, and waste the limited time of their lives on evil things! Wang Qiu, we should not just wait for death, we should clarify your matter as soon as possible!"

Ma Shengqiu also sighed for the writer's innocence: "It's useless."

Turgenev replied: "Publishing in my name has some value in Europe. I believe there will always be people on our side."

Ma Shengqiu also said something strange: "Those who spread rumors about me are often the ones who most believe that I am 'innocent'."

Turgenev understood in a blink of an eye, but was terrified instead.

Who likes to investigate Wang Qiu the most?

--noble.

If Wang Qiu was a slave, the nobles would have found out by visiting relatives and friends a long time ago.

If we can't find out, it basically means that Wang Qiu has little relationship with the nobles, and there is no evidence in hand. Moreover, Wang Qiu's temperament and knowledge have been cultivated for many years, and it is by no means a state that a slave who was abused by the nobles can reach.

Ma Shengqiu also said: "When the power of public opinion appears, those people will not let it go. They don't care about the truth, they don't care about the truth. They want me to bow my head and admit defeat, and take off my clothes one by one."

"It's disgusting." Turgenev was ashamed to be with the nobles.

Ma Shengqiu is also used to nausea, and he smiled helplessly. There will be injustice everywhere in this society. Compared with the gap between people with superpowers and people without superpowers, ordinary people can be a blockbuster at the end of the nineteenth century.

Ma Shengqiu also said objectively in the British territory: "The weak obey the strong, and those who don't want to obey either resist or die. This is the law of the forest."

Turgenev blurted out: "But we are born free."

Ma Shengqiu also faced Turgenev, who firmly believed in this concept, and suddenly lost the desire to speak the truth. He hoped that the other party would keep this precious virtue forever and pass it on to more people in future generations.

He restrained his face and said seriously.

"You are right, we are human beings, not animals."

"If they want to spread rumors, I will help them, let them spread rumors crazily, and spread out all the impossible rumors. Ordinary people don't have the ability to distinguish true from false, so let them see all the false."

"From today, not only do I have countless scars on my body, my face is cut out by a knife, I have three heads and six arms, my hair is not pure black, it can be colorful under the sun, I am very popular among writers, and writers write for me every day. When I fight, three people die a day, and hundreds of people die a month!"

"In addition, there are some European writers who have affection for me and want to call me dad, because I promise that if any writer calls me dad once, I will give 100 francs, and they plan to call me until I go bankrupt."

Ma Shengqiu also touched his face, "I am also a veteran when it comes to using black to cure black. Don't worry about the position of the reporters and the media. I can visit their home."

Ma Shengqiu also said every word: "Wang Qiu had a private meeting with the reporter late at night. There was an unknown scream from the reporter's home, and he went to work with a limping leg the next day."

At the end of the nineteenth century, a man whose wisdom and beauty were hard to beat spread his hands, "Supposing this happened, this would be tomorrow's headline news. It sounds outrageous, and it's hard for normal people to believe it, but it's true." False, it is difficult to argue."

"I want this pool of water to be as messy as possible, to gather the attention of the whole of Europe, and to give them a chance to entertain their boredom. In the end, what I personally said on the stage will become the only 'truth'."

"Does what I'm going to do sound outrageous?"

Turgenev: "..."

This is outrageous to God's hometown!

Ma Shengqiu also sat on the chair by the window, smiling and lonely, revealing the strength of the world.

"I have seen the night, how can I be afraid of the world before dawn."

"As long as there is a glimmer of hope—"

"I want to crawl back to the other side of 'life'."

Because there are people waiting for him on the other side, and he doesn't want to return to that world with such an ugly body.

It's not a fault of wanting to be a "perfect lover, husband, family member, father."

What was wrong was that he once overestimated his ability to withstand pressure.

"Sir, forgive me for saying these stupid words. I am not afraid of their malice, but I am afraid of this world-good intentions cannot resist malice. There are more bad people than good people. Smart people are all going to join in the evil, and no one is willing to make a different voice."

"I'm afraid—my life, I won't even be able to splash a single splash in the mud."
