The Plow

Ling Shu was panting.

He was gasping for breath and was uncomfortable.

A ball of fire was burning fiercely in the chest and lungs, continuously surging upwards, and the rampage insisted on finding an exit.

The ribs seemed to be being cut back and forth with a blunt knife, and from time to time they stabbed into the flesh hard, the pain was so painful that one wanted to roll on the ground and howl.

Not to mention the overwhelming torment of internal organs, splitting headache, and burning limbs.

But Ling Shu neither rolled nor wailed.

He just heaved his chest and gasped violently.

The panting was so clear in the darkness that even he himself felt it was deafening.

Ling Shu pressed on Yue Dingtang.

It's not intentional to take advantage of others, it's because he no longer has the strength to move.

There is no movement in the dark.

After the gunshots, everything seemed to return to ancient times.

The surroundings were quiet, and there seemed to be no movement outside the corridor.

Only two of Yue Dingtang and the others came over?

No one outside?

Then how did they find this place and find out the whereabouts of Ivanov?

The weaker the body, the clearer the mind.

Ling Shu is waiting.

Wait for Yue Dingtang to push him away.

Or, shoot him in the temple.

Once it's over, everything will stop.

But what he waited for was his body being slowly lifted up.

"Are you dead?"

Ling Shu heard Yue Dingtang ask this question.

"……not yet."

With one mouthful, the voice was completely hoarse.

He felt the smell of blood in his mouth, and there was a constant flow of heat, painful and scalding.

"There should be no shortage of this bullet in your gun."

"I hesitated."

Yue Dingtang said he hesitated.

Ling Shu wanted to laugh, but couldn't.

He still remembered the feeling of the gun against his forehead just now.

The moment he pounced on Yue Dingtang, he really didn't expect that he would survive.

Even if the other party fired a shot at him, he was [-]% to [-]% sure, avoided the vital point, snatched the gun, killed that Mr. Liu, subdued Yue Dingtang, suppressed the situation, and held on until Lao Yuan came over.

Even though this body has not been so turbulent for many years, it is still possible for him to try his best to let the old bones burn one last time.

Since he stepped into this pit of Lao Yuan, he must start well and end well, helping others to fill it up.

"Mr. Liu, who is it?"

"It's from the City Hall."

"You shot him."

"If there is no accident, he should be dead."

Yue Dingtang's tone was light, as if floating in the sky.

But Ling Shu felt that it might be because his head was spinning so fast that everything seemed to be floating.

The Northeast is now the territory of the Japanese, there is no doubt about it.

Although the Municipal Office is the official government of Fengtian City in name, it also uses local officials, some of whom may have been left by Zhang Zuolin when he was in office, but behind these people must also be Japanese.

A rootless duckweed will not last long.

No matter who is behind this Mr. Liu, it will be a big trouble if Yue Dingtang kills him.

And since the two came here together, it means that at least not long ago, they were still on the same boat.

In a blink of an eye, if you say you turn your back, you turn your back.

It depends on the owner to beat a dog. Can Yue Dingtang beat someone to death, can he escape safely?

Ling Shu has a lot of questions to ask.

But he is very tired, and now he just wants to close his eyes and have a good sleep.

But even this wish is extravagant.

It was freezing cold, and the soil beneath him was even colder. In early spring, there was no warmth in the Northeast, and Ling Shu even felt that there were ice slags and frost in the soil.

Otherwise, how could it be so cold.

Straight through the texture, cold to the bone marrow.

Eyelids are getting heavy.

A sudden slap on the face!

"Don't sleep."

Ling Shu: ...

You fucking, "Can you be gentle?"

"Don't sleep, where is the thing you said?"

Ling Shu said lazily, "So Mr. Yue wants to take it all by himself?"

Yue Dingtang: "Three forked roads, one road to life, one road to death, and one road with things in it. What you wanted to take me just now was a road to death, right?"

Ling Shu fell silent.

In the darkness, he heard the sound of a match being lit.

The lanterns were re-lit.

The glass cover was cracked, but it was barely able to illuminate.

"Can I still go?" Yue Dingtang asked him.

"Impossible." Ling Shu remained motionless, determined to never be separated from the wall forever.

Yue Dingtang didn't force him either.

"Since this road is a dead end, there are two more ways to go. I'll go and have a look first."

He took the lamp and walked to the side road.

Ling Shu's heart skipped a beat.

"Wait, I'll go with you."

He leaned against the wall and got up slowly, and it was hard to breathe.

Yue Dingtang stuffed the lantern into his hand.

Ling Shu:? ? ?

"Are you human? I've been hurt like this, and you asked me to carry a lamp."

"I'll carry you."

After Yue Dingtang finished speaking, he patted his arm and motioned him to lie on his back.

Ling Shu found that his movements were quite light, carefully avoiding the rib injury, Ling Shu handed over the weight of his entire body to the other party, and with the heat of a skin-to-skin kiss, he couldn't help but breathe out slowly.

Much more comfortable.

"My second brother has a very close relationship with the Japanese side, and I don't even know much about it. This time, the Guan family's funeral is the best opportunity. I entrusted me to contact the people from the Municipal Office to take over Mr. Cheng's original stay. The next stall is equivalent to taking over the connection line between Northeast China and Shanghai."

Ling Shu hummed, so lightly that he didn't even notice it.

Yue Dingtang seemed to hear it, and continued talking.

"You know, although the Yue family is not considered rich and powerful now, they do not have to worry about food and clothing. In addition, the relationship between the boss and the second child is enough to survive in Shanghai. But—"

"However," Ling Shu coughed twice, and continued, "Where there is gain, there will be loss. It is not an easy task to maintain a perfect balance between the various forces, and not everyone can allow the Yue family to have their own way."

Yue Dingtang: "That's right, the boss and the second child have a disagreement because of this. The second child feels that Japan is now in a state of invincibility. Given the trend in Nanjing, it may be possible to give up part of the country in the future. It is more beneficial to have a good relationship with the Japanese than Japan." Disadvantages. But the boss believes that Europe and the United States will not sit idly by, and the Japanese are too good at doing things, and their reputation is even worse. The Yue family is already enough to protect itself, so there is no need to go into this troubled water again."

His speaking speed was not slow, and his tone was very low, but to Ling Shu's ears, it was like thunder.

What Yue Dingtang is talking about now must be the little-known secret of the Yue family.

Standing in line to make friends with this kind of thing can be understood, but it cannot be expressed in words.

Ling Shu has been with Yue Dingtang for so long, and heard about it intermittently, but never asked.

It was related to the way of establishing a foothold for the Yue family. Yue Dingtang was just a university professor and didn't get involved in it. If he asked, he might not know it, and if he knew it, he might not be able to say it.There seems to be a transparent boundary between the two, which cannot be crossed or tested.

Ling Shu didn't know Yue Dingtang's trump card, and Yue Dingtang didn't know Ling Shu's secret either.

"You don't have to tell me this."

Yue Dingtang turned a deaf ear to it.

"The second child can't go to the Northeast in person, it's too conspicuous, so he thought of me."

"I also want to know how deep the second child is in this muddy water, so I have to come here by myself."

"Do you still remember the day Yingzuo came to pick me up to the Municipal Office? The car we were riding in exploded on the spot. In fact, I knew it would happen because someone notified me in advance. I also knew that the bomb was installed in Yingzuo Under the seat, so I purposely took a seat diagonally behind him, and when the explosion happened, I could open the car door and escape in time without harming my life."

"The later bombing in the ward was also deliberately arranged. The person who planned the bombing wanted to use these two things to get rid of the people behind Mr. Liu. Even if I didn't show up, things would probably happen as scheduled, but, I It is a pawn that actively joined and played a role on its own initiative."

Ling Shu felt as if he understood, but he was still vague.

At first he thought it was a force that hated the Japanese, maybe it was Lao Yuan's accomplice.

But later found out, it seems that is not the case.

Until Yue Dingtang revealed the inside story in one word.

"Fengtian City is not monolithic. There are also factions here, and there are also people fighting among themselves."

Ling Shu finally understood completely.

"Mr. Cheng, Yingzuo, Mr. Liu, and even the people behind Mr. Liu, as well as your second brother, are all on one side. And the one who caused the bombing and doesn't want you to cooperate is the people on the other side?"

Yue Dingtang: "That's right. I don't want the Yue family to be dragged into the mud by the second child, so I use the people on the other side to cause trouble, and directly cut off his chance to cooperate with Mr. Liu."

At this moment, Ling Shu patted his shoulder lightly.

Yue Dingtang stopped and put him down.

The lanterns vaguely illuminated the outline of the front.

"There is a gully in front of it. Those who are impatient can easily fall and get hurt. Even if they cross it, arrow nets will fall from it."

"The one left by Tang Yulin?"

"No, it was Lao Yuan and Mr. Guan who did it."

The two were very close, and Ling Shu was breathing heavily again.

The hot air sprayed all over Yue Dingtang's ears.

A little itchy and numb.

He couldn't help raising his hand, wanting to scratch his ear.

But in the middle of the hand, he turned around naturally and put it on Ling Shu's waist to help him sit more comfortably.

"You didn't need to kill Mr. Liu just now." Ling Shu said.

Yue Dingtang's face was light: "His marksmanship is very accurate, and he is also ruthless in killing people. If I am one step late, you will be the one who dies."

Ling Shu: "Why did you come here?"

Yue Dingtang: "Mr. Liu got the news that the pagoda that Mr. Guan left me contains a secret."

Ling Shu was happy, how could he be fooled again?

"Secrets about the treasures of the former Qing Dynasty?"

Yue Dingtang: "Maybe there was no treasure left in the former Qing Dynasty, but Mr. Guan must have left something important, otherwise, you and Lao Yuan wouldn't have come here in the middle of the night. The death of Ying Zuo made Mr. Liu behind I was very angry. Mr. Liu wanted to win back the city and make meritorious deeds. After he got the whereabouts of Ivanov, he took me all the way to follow him, hoping to win the first place and get these treasures before others. "

Ling Shu: "I was already ready to die just now."

Yue Dingtang: "I know."

Ling Shu murmured: "I didn't expect that you would kill him directly. Lao Yue, to this day, I still can't fully understand what is going on in your heart. However, you can escape and sit with you." Gossip here is commonplace, I..."

you--

Very emotional, very touched, very excited?

Ling Shu's voice became lower and lower.

Yue Dingtang couldn't hear clearly, so he couldn't help getting closer.

Unexpectedly, the other party was also close to his ear.

Yue Dingtang was very calm and wanted to say that in a chaotic situation, everything is possible.

He wanted to ask Ling Shu and Lao Yuan if they were old acquaintances, where they wanted to get their things, and who else was supporting them.

He also wanted to ask that night, when Ling Shu drugged himself, did he ever think about what would happen after he found out?Is the other party just planning to go to the northeast and fly away from now on without seeing each other.

But Ling Shu didn't speak for a long time, he swallowed all these voices inexplicably.

Silently, my heart beat like a drum.

Ling Shu's lips were so close that they almost touched the hot skin.

Yue Dingtang didn't move.

Only the throat slid up and down slightly.

If, he meant, if a real relative surnamed Ling came up, would he refuse, or not?
