The Plow

"impossible!"

Zhen Congyun didn't even think about it, subconsciously thought that Ling Shu was talking nonsense to fool himself again.

"I heard that after the decline of the Ling family, the brothers and sisters of the Ling family depended on each other for their lives. Your sister used the rest of her family property for you to study abroad, and everyone told everyone that you would have a great future when you returned from studying abroad. At that time, I had a cousin, and she told us as a joke when she came back. Listen, it is said that your sister's heart is higher than the sky and her life is thinner than paper, she has fallen to this point, and she still doesn't forget to show you off, thinking that she can really rely on you to make a comeback!"

Speaking of this, her bright eyes couldn't help but smile, mocking the silence, as if to say, your sister's bragging is really bragging, and her proud brother not only failed to revive the family business after returning, In the end, he could only rely on his brother-in-law to get a job as a policeman.

"You should thank Yue Dingtang. If it weren't for his support, you would still be hanging out in that small police station, welcoming and sending you off, nodding and bowing whenever you see anyone, let alone dealing with me."

At this moment, Zhen Congyun seemed to be the same young lady of the Zhen family, high above the sky, the proud daughter of heaven, loved by her family, and ordinary people were waiting in front of her, but she was like mud, not worth a glance.

"you're right."

"My sister searched her family, but she could barely scrape together the tuition fees for my study abroad. Once the boat ticket is gone, I don't know when she will come back. But even if she comes back from abroad, it doesn't matter. If she doesn't have contacts, she may not be able to enter the government. Department, may not really be able to get a golden job and lead the Ling family to revive. At that time, I was young and vigorous, and on the one hand, I thought it was not easy for my sister, and on the other hand, I didn't want to be looked down upon by her. I wanted to make a lot of money, and I wanted to let She was impressed, so she sold the ticket and went to Yunnan alone."

"I heard people say that tobacco trafficking is prevalent in Yunnan. If you are brave enough to enter the army and follow the right people, you can make a lot of money every year. So I joined the Yunnan army and served as a soldier in the platoon under Long Yun. I just wanted to get ahead, and I was not afraid of hardships during training, and I still had a little money left by my sister in my pocket, so I communicated with each other from top to bottom, plus I deliberately made friends with my comrades and superiors, and I had a good relationship with everyone in the platoon. "

"At that time, the little salary in the army was not enough to feed and feed the whole family. Many people would do some private work to make money in private. I joined the army with this purpose in mind. Who knows that our platoon leader is a strange thing. Not only is he very strict with himself , we are not allowed to get involved in these things. The squad leader above me was discovered by him because of the smuggling of tobacco, and he directly executed him in front of everyone. I am a small soldier, but because I was ostracized by the elders in the class , not getting involved in these matters, and was promoted by the platoon leader as the new squad leader."

"Not long after, Long Yun was sent by Tang Jiyao to attack Guangxi. Our platoon was the vanguard, and the leader of the platoon was Zhou. Let's call him Lao Zhou. You don't know him anyway. Lao Zhou led us to fight Nanning, but we failed. I’m a recruit, I don’t know farts, my usual training has changed completely on the battlefield, I heard bullets flying by, and the shells exploded beside me, do you know what it feels like?”

The comrade-in-arms was blown into pieces, and the smell of burnt meat wafted around him, like uncooked barbecue with a fishy smell.

Want to vomit, can't vomit, can only retch.

But if you are stunned for a second, you may be the one who is blown to pieces.

Ling Shu could only dodge left and right, at a loss, what kind of marksmanship, what kind of calmness, all the blood and courage were wiped out.

Before the decline of the Ling family, Ling Shu was in high spirits, feeling that he was also the favored son of heaven, a new era was at hand, even if a man could not make great achievements, he would still make some achievements.

After the Ling family fell, he vowed that he would support the Ling family with his own strength, so that those who looked down on his family in the past would regret it, so that his sister would no longer have to frown at the spirit of her parents every day.

However, on the battlefield, he has only one thought, and that is to survive.

The gunpowder smoke was mixed with the smell, and the road ahead could not be seen clearly, but even if they retreated, they could not go home.

"enough!"

Zhen Congyun didn't want to listen to those descriptions that allowed him to imagine, so he interrupted him sharply.

"Don't think that you can frighten me like this, it's so dangerous that you still survived!"

"I am alive, but I should have been one of those cannon fodder, dying on the battlefield."

"It was Lao Zhou who pushed me away before the shells fell, and his own legs were blown off."

"Old Zhou's two legs flew over my head. I was completely stupid. Later, I didn't know how I dragged Lao Zhou to avoid the flames of war until the reinforcements came."

"A few days later, Lao Zhou woke up in the hospital. I didn't have to go to the battlefield because of my arm injury. I stayed to help take care of him. Lao Zhou found that he had no legs. He seemed to be quite calm. On the contrary, I was always worried about him. I can't help but stare at him all the time."

"Once, Lao Zhou called me to him and asked me to apply for retirement after my injury recovered. He would help me change things up and gave me a letter of recommendation, asking me to go to Yunnan Lecture Hall. He said I was still young, To learn things quickly, I should not die on the battlefield in vain for these meaningless and endless civil wars, I should go to school, learn more advanced and systematic knowledge, and learn how to be a qualified soldier."

"Do you still remember that I joined the Yunnan Army just to get some benefits, earn some money, and then go back to revive the family business, but Lao Zhou actually said that I have the potential to be a soldier."

While Ling Shu was talking, Zhen Congyun on the opposite side didn't laugh, but he himself laughed first.

It's just that there are many meanings in the laughter that even he can't explain clearly.

He still remembered Lao Zhou at that time, with a sick look on his face, but not depressed, it was just that the bottom half of the quilt was empty.

When the country is in trouble, we should strengthen ourselves.You are a good seed, don't be cannon fodder for nothing, and you will die without knowing how you died.My legs are useless for the rest of my life, so you can just walk around on my behalf. After you graduate from the martial arts hall, it doesn’t matter what you want to do. It doesn’t matter if you don’t join the army, but you can’t hang out with mediocre and greedy people anymore. go astray.

That's what Lao Zhou said to him. He still remembers this passage clearly to this day.

It's funny.

He originally wanted to join forces with others and do whatever it takes, but he met an old Zhou and was forced to go back to the right path.

"You don't have to go." Zhen Congyun said, "His legs are crippled, so he can't do anything to you."

Ling Shu: "But I owe him a life. The favor of a life, not to mention that he just let me go to school, even if he asks me to give him my leg back, I will pay it back."

Zhen Congyun sneered: "I won't pay it back. Saving people is voluntary. No one forces him. At worst, just give him more money. In today's world, a few dollars can buy a life, even if he is a small Longer, it’s just a few more oceans!”

Ling Shu stopped talking.

Zhen Congyun frowned, she subconsciously felt that Ling Shu didn't like or even disliked what she said, but now that the other party's life was in her hands, she couldn't tell whether Ling Shu didn't dare to refute or was too lazy to refute.

The second possibility made her feel uncomfortable.

Seeing that Yue Dingtang hadn't come yet, she felt a little anxious and couldn't help urging Ling Shu.

"Go on, you went to school in Yunnan, why did you go to the northeast to join the army!"

After a while, Ling Shu opened his mouth.

"When I graduated, the Northeast Army had changed its flag. It was no longer a local warlord, but a local army led by the central government. At that time, Japan made frequent moves in the Northeast, and rumors spread across the country. Although many people did not say anything, In fact, I know in my heart that this battle, sooner or later, will have to be fought, and it is likely to break out in the Northeast."

"Old Zhou still died. In the year I graduated, he occasionally caught a cold. His body, which was weak after the amputation of his legs, couldn't survive the winter. I watched him close his eyes in front of the hospital bed. At that time, I I know, I can't go back to Shanghai, I'm going to the Northeast. I owe Lao Zhou my life, I promised him something, went to Shanghai, ten feet soft red, drunk and rich, it will only waste my will, and I can't fulfill my promise."

"One of my classmates at the same time was from the Northeast, and he happened to want to go back to the Northeast. We packed our bags and headed north. Yuan Sansi met at that time. He was in the same row as me, sleeping in the next bed, and at the training station. Fight a trench brother."

"No!" Zhen Congyun interrupted him, "Others say that Yuan Sansi is the housekeeper of Mrs. Guan. She has been in the Guan family for many years. When did she join the army?"

Ling Shu: "The one you are talking about is Lao Yuan's twin brother. He has an older brother who is indeed Mr. Guan's confidant. He died of illness two years ago. Mr. Guan also knew about it. He acquiesced in allowing Mr. Yuan to replace his brother. Continue to stay by my side, but most of the Guan family don't know about it except Sanye Guan. Before the old man passed away, he had the final say on the big and small matters of the Guan family, and everyone was used to his authority. I'm mediocre, and I never thought of going to investigate in detail. This kind of thing is not a big deal for them."

Zhen Congyun caught a name and asked suspiciously, "Guan San? Isn't he the most useless person in the Guan family?"

Footsteps sounded, from far to near.

Ling Shu changed the topic, and the story came to an abrupt end.

"Miss Zhen, since Lao Yue is back, I can take a breather and stop telling stories, right?"

Zhen Congyun really didn't have the heart to continue listening, she just wanted to know how Lao Yuan and Ling Shu knew each other, but she unknowingly heard him talking about such a nonsense, if it wasn't for Yue Dingtang to come back with the stone, it would be boring and difficult , she will not be patient to listen to this.

"Where are the rocks!" she shouted at the people who came.

"Here I am." It was indeed Yue Dingtang's voice.

"Go and open the door!"

Ling Shu narrowed his eyes.

The moment Zhen Congyun saw Yue Dingtang, he naturally aimed his gun at Yue Dingtang.

Because for her, Yue Dingtang, who has gone and returned, must be more threatening than Ling Shu.

Little did he know that Ling Shu was waiting for this moment!

He moved suddenly.

She jumped up and rushed towards Zhen Congyun. When she hurriedly moved the muzzle of the gun back, the man was already in front of her!

Zhen Congyun was startled.

She shot!
