The Plow

Afternoon wind, laziness can not make a ripple.

It was exactly the same as Ling Shu's reaction at the moment.

His expression did not have any ripples due to Yue Dingtang's words, his hands were still propped on the round table, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised to look at Yue Dingtang, his eyes did not blink.

Yue Dingtang could still see his own faint reflection in those dark eyeballs.

Lingshu's eyes are undoubtedly beautiful, with long tails, like a tender green willow leaf in spring, bringing the amorous peach blossoms.

He was indeed a very affectionate man.

Yue Dingtang suddenly remembered a very small past event.

At that time, when I was a teenager, people often sneaked in and eavesdropped on the teacher's lectures. He was a poor kid from a very poor family, because his family lived next to the school, and the teachers watched him grow up. Just turn a blind eye and close one eye, the child is not only unattractive, but also short, and the students who are full of energy and have nowhere to vent will laugh and tease him, sometimes with verbal ridicule, sometimes with point The food tempted him to bow his head and give in. The ugly boy was bullied so badly that he gradually stopped coming.Everyone thought that he was arrested by his family and sent to work, or that he couldn't bear the double humiliation of spirit and dignity, so he stopped setting foot in school in a fit of rage.

After a long time, Yue Dingtang found out that the child stopped coming to school because Ling Shu would take his study notes to the child's home to copy for him every week, and explain to him the learning content of this week by the way. I went to the teachers of various subjects and asked for an extra textbook and papers for the child, so that the child could keep up with the progress at home.

In this era, there are countless families like poor children. Their families are poor. Not to mention going to school, they even have problems with food and clothing. Many children are born, but few survive, and most of their offspring go to labor. , Boiling the body, this is their fate.

But Ling Shu's interference gave the child a chance of life, even if the chance of life was very small.

If it wasn't for Ling Shu, that person wouldn't even have the tools to change his fate.

Yue Dingtang never heard Ling Shu show off this matter. Perhaps in Ling Shu's view, it was just a rich young master showing mercy to poor children at that time. He had no intention of planting willows, nor did he think that willows would grow into What kind, will reciprocate.

He knew from then on that Ling Shu was a passionate person.

In ancient times, the suave and passionate young man would have made many girls crazy and heartbroken. Although it is a new era, when Ling Shu was ill, there were many dancers who came to visit him.

Passionate people, it is easy to think too much, and it is easy to do passionate things——

Show flaws.

"I don't know Lao Yuan."

Yue Dingtang heard Ling Shu say so.

"Mr. Yue, why do you think that Lao Yuan and I will know each other?"

When Ling Shu called Yue Dingtang, there were generally three ways to call him.

Ding Tang yelled after Yue Chunxiao, it was gross and mostly used for teasing.

Usually in private and not related to official business, he usually calls Lao Yue, which is kind and humorous, and Yue Dingtang also acquiesces.

In front of others, he called Officer Yue, and sometimes when Ling Shu teased or taunted slightly, he would blurt out Officer Yue.

A little over the top.

These words suddenly appeared in Yue Dingtang's mind.

He put Ling Shu by his side at first, because he also felt that this old classmate was a bit weird, so it was convenient for him to observe closely.

But now he found that he seemed to have delved too deeply into some details of Ling Shu.

Deep into the borderline.

"Ling Shu, this is not Shanghai. Japanese tentacles have spread all over Fengtian City, and no one knows the signboard of the Yue family. I don't care if you know Lao Yuan or what you do with Fengtian, but you better not cause trouble Otherwise, instead of being able to help you, I may have to personally—”

Yue Dingtang paused, looked at Ling Shu, and stopped every word.

"Hand you over."

Ling Shu smiled: "Old Yue, you are so solemn all of a sudden, but it scared me. I wondered if I came to Fengtian, didn't you want me to come? I didn't want to come at first, so why did I come with you?" Thank you for your warning, from today until I leave Fengtian, I will stay at Guan's house, I will not go anywhere, and I will not leave with the eighth sedan chair, is this all right?"

Yue Dingtang: "If you can do it, that's the best."

Ling Shu: "What did Yingzuo tell you to scare us, Mr. Yue, into such a state?"

Yue Dingtang: "Yingzuo was only here on request, but since he mentioned Mr. Cheng, with their ability, they may not be able to find out our relationship with He Youan. If you want to keep that orphan, you'd better start now." , be careful with your words and deeds, and don’t let them have any chance to follow you, otherwise you will follow the clues and the consequences will be unpredictable.”

He changed the subject and suddenly asked, "Do you still remember Shen Shiqi's death?"

Ling Shu: "Didn't He Youan's accomplice Chen Youhua do it?"

Yue Dingtang: "Chen Youhua ran away after making the move, but was quickly silenced. The murderer was Mr. Cheng's. Do you think that since Mr. Cheng was able to find Chen Youhua so quickly, would he not know that Chen Youhua wanted to do something to Shen Shiqi?"

Ling Shu: "But isn't Shen Shiqi loyal to Mr. Cheng?"

Yue Dingtang: "He knows too much. People who know too many secrets, no matter how loyal they are, deserve to die. Some people often claim to be smart and get carried away, but they don't think that the mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind."

Ling Shu said with a smile: "You didn't talk in circles like this before. It seems that you are reminding or warning me. It seems that Yingzuo and you have talked deeply. Are you going to give this pagoda to Yingzuo?"

Yue Dingtang: "He didn't want it, but offered to find someone to help me transport it back to Shanghai."

Ling Shu: "Being courteous to others, one must ask for something."

Yue Dingtang: "Not only did he not ask for anything, but he also handed over all of Mr. Cheng's business in Shanghai to the Yue family to take over."

Ling Shu raised his eyebrows: "You are a professor who teaches, not a businessman. Is it your eldest brother, or your second brother?"

Yue Dingtang: "My second brother."

Ling Shu: "I have long heard that the eldest son of the Yue family is from the European and American school, and the second child is from the pro-Japanese school. He is slick in all directions, and he has both sides. But in this way, the Yue family has completely fallen to one side, which is not in line with the stance that the two sides can not offend each other."

Yue Dingtang: "People can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes. Therefore, you'd better be cautious in your words and deeds, otherwise, even I can't protect you."

Ling Shu's eyebrows were crooked, and he narrowed his eyes with a smile.

"Old Yue, Lao Yue, you have said so much, threatening and harsh words, but you are actually concerned about me, and you are afraid that something will happen to me. Just say no, why bother mother-in-law and mother-in-law, gossip a lot..."

"Ling Shu."

Yue Dingtang also stood up and walked to the round table.

He put his hands on the table, leaned his upper body forward, and looked directly at his classmate and subordinate, feeling full of oppression.

"I'm not joking with you. If you don't listen to the advice, offend the Japanese here, and cause disaster, I can only point a gun at you and kill your relatives righteously. At that time, you will go to Jiuquan, don't blame me for disregarding the old classmates Friendship, cruel and merciless."

Under his gaze, Ling Shu put away his foolish expression, and his smile gradually disappeared.

"Yes, sir, at your command."

Ling Shu stood up straight, straightened his clothes, and saluted Yue Dingtang.

The second master did not break his promise this time.

In the evening, he sent someone to inform Ling Yue and the two that the new guest room was ready, and dinner was also prepared, and they were sent there together.

The dinner was unexpectedly sumptuous, there were vegetarian dishes and meat dishes, and the cooking skills were not bad. I don't know which restaurant's master chef made it. It seems that the second master really spent a lot of money this time in order to win over Yue Dingtang.

As soon as Ling Shu put down his chopsticks, he yawned again and again, said goodnight to Yue Dingtang, got up and went to sleep.

The new guest room is actually a courtyard, and the two rooms happen to be one for each person, so the two big men don't have to fight for the quilt and sleep unhappily.

"Ling Shu."

Yue Dingtang called him to stop.

The latter just walked to the front of the threshold, turned around and looked confused.

From the looks of it, he didn't hold grudges because of Yue Dingtang's harsh words.

"If it's okay, I'll go back to my room first. You don't need my company when you go up the mountain to worship the old man tomorrow, right?"

Yue Dingtang hummed.

Ling Shu clenched his fist to his lips and yawned: "Then I've been eating and drinking at Guan's house for the past two days. When you go back, don't forget to take me with you."

Yue Dingtang: "The box of the pagoda is in my room, and I will put the key in a vase outside."

"Don't tell me, I can't hear anything."

Without looking back, Ling Shu shook his hand and entered the room.

The fish soup tonight was very fresh.

I don't know where the cook called by the second master got the fresh fish, scraped off the scales and hollowed out the internal organs, and boiled it for several hours to get the thick essence of the soup, and then put a few wild vegetables in the boiled fish soup Warm it, it will be the supreme deliciousness immediately.

It can also be seen from this that it's not that the Guan family can't get it out, it's just that they are willing to put their heart into it and spend money.

Yue Dingtang paused for the hand holding the soup bowl.

Something seems wrong.

He scanned the dishes on the table.

Ling Shu ate very little tonight.

Didn't even touch the dashi.

fish soup...

Ling Shu will definitely not let go of such delicious food as usual.

Suspicious, Yue Dingtang got up and walked towards Lingshu's room.

The door of the latter's room was only ajar, and opened with a push.

Ling Shu had already taken off his coat and covered his head and was sleeping on the bed, with only half of his hair protruding from under the quilt.

Yue Dingtang patted Ling Shu.

"Get up and drink some fish soup, it's too much, I can't finish it by myself."

"Hmm...?" Ling Shu seemed to have just fallen asleep. After being forcibly awakened, the quilt squirmed, and his whole head was slowly exposed. "I won't drink it anymore, just put it away, I'll drink it tomorrow morning."

"It will be fishy when it's cold." Yue Dingtang put half a bowl of fish soup he scooped out by himself on the bedside, "While it's hot."

Ling Shu rubbed his eyes and sat up under the quilt.

"Mr. Yue, I recall a story. He You'an said that before Mr. Cheng eats, there is always someone to test him for poison. He will only eat when the person is fine."

Yue Dingtang: "I am not Mr. Cheng, and you are not He Youan."

"That makes sense." Ling Shu nodded, picked up the bowl of fish soup, took a sip, saw that the temperature was just right, he drank it all in one gulp, and turned the bowl over to show Yue Dingtang. "I'm done drinking, can I sleep now?"

"Go to sleep." Yue Dingtang waited for him to lie down, and tucked him in the quilt.

"Mr. Yue."

Yue Dingtang got up and walked out with the empty bowl.

Ling Shu suddenly stopped him.

Yue Dingtang stopped and turned around.

"You often say that you can't see through me, but I think you are the one who can't be seen through. At least, so far, I still haven't seen clearly whether you are standing on the shore or already on the boat, even if you are on the boat , Which ship did you get on?"

Yue Dingtang said lightly: "No matter on the shore or on which ship, it's better than being drowned."

That night.

The Guan family rested early.

This family seems to have continued the habit that came down from the old man.

Go to bed early and get up early, work at sunrise and rest at sunset.

The night in Fengtian City can also be very lively, but this excitement has nothing to do with the Guan family.

Except for the two big lanterns at the door, the Guan family fell into silence.

Even Yue Dingtang slept very soundly.

He fell asleep almost as soon as he touched the bed, and he didn't even have time to ask someone to clean up the leftovers outside.

Knowing that the tiredness came intensely and suddenly, Yue Dingtang couldn't resist the instinct of his body, he just wanted to sleep on the bed upside down.

In the silence, there seems to be a faint movement.

Maybe it's the muffled thunder billowing in the distance, or maybe it's a big mouse running for its life with food in its mouth.

Tables and chairs were overturned, vases were knocked over, and women screamed.

woman……

Where is the woman from?

Besides, how can a mouse have such great strength to overturn the tables and chairs?

Yue Dingtang wanted to get up to take a look, but his eyelids seemed to be tied with a stone, which was so heavy that he couldn't lift it up.

Boom!

The heart was pinched heavily.

His fingers moved accordingly.

Yue Dingtang frowned, but his eyes were still glued together.

Boom, boom, boom!

There was a sound of rolling thunder.

"Wake up!"

"Dingtang, something happened!"

The body was shaken violently, Yue Dingtang was shocked suddenly, and the upper and lower eyelids finally separated.

The eyes are blinding light.

He frowned and closed his eyes again.

The person who shook him didn't let him do so, and his actions became more rude.

Yue Dingtang grabbed the opponent's wrist and exerted force.

The man cried out in pain.

"Just let go!"

"Don't shake the flashlight in my face." Yue Dingtang felt a pain in his throat, and his voice was hoarse than usual.

"What time is it, you are still asleep, wake up!"

"Dingtang, let go first, that's your second cousin!"

"Who knows if he is an accomplice!"

There is a lot of chatter in the ear, and there is a lot of disturbance.

The voices came and went, some familiar and some totally unfamiliar.

The head of the bed was full of people, and Yue Dingtang could barely tell that it was Master Guan who was holding his wrist.

He rubbed his temples and slowly sat up against the wall.

After his eyes gradually adapted to the light, he squinted to identify the people in front of him.

Four of the five masters of the Guan family came, as well as Guanshi He, Lao Li and so on.

"What happened, tell them one by one."

"The second daughter-in-law is dead!"

"The one surnamed Ling is also missing!"

"The pagoda is gone!"

"The pagoda is in my room."

Enduring his headache, Yue Dingtang straightened his body and pushed aside the crowd to see that the box on the cabinet beside his bed had disappeared.

His door was originally locked from the inside, but now that the lock was broken, someone must have broken in and stolen the box, and it was impossible for him to sleepwalk and move the box out.

The old man paused anxiously: "Why are you so stupid!"

The fourth master said coolly: "He brought the one surnamed Ling, what's the use of urging him, maybe the two of them teamed up to deceive us, Mingxiu plank road secretly went to Chencang, took the pagoda away, so as not to be missed. "

The second master rushed forward and grabbed Yue Dingtang's lapel.

"Where did the surname Ling go? I want him to pay with his life!"
