The Plow

Chapter 17

"What new discovery?"

Ling Shu had already been lying down, but when he heard his last words, he sat up again.

Yue Dingtang didn't talk nonsense, and directly took out a gun and a few bullets from the kraft paper bag.

With the development of the matter to the present, not only Ling Shu was involved, but it was also impossible for him to stay out of it.

The other party made it clear that they didn't want them to find out anything, but since the other party failed to kill him tonight, this move has been invalidated, but it made them affirm the direction of their investigation.

"The gun and bullets were dropped by the other party."

Ling Shu took the gun over.

"M1906, commonly known as the Palm Thunder, is light and exquisite, and easy to carry. As far as I know, important officials in Nanjing and even some women also like to use this pistol for self-defense. Nowadays, the purchase channel is mainly imported through foreign firms, although the price is expensive. A little, but easy to buy, no problem."

Yue Dingtang raised his chin slightly. "Look carefully."

If he said that, he must have discovered something.Ling Shu got serious, picked up a few bullets, looked at them one by one, put them down again, picked up the gun again, and frowned after a while.

"what is this?"

The gun itself was in perfect condition, probably not used a few times, but at least [-]% new.

However, Ling Shu found that there was some sticky black powder on the trigger.

He used his nails to pick a little bit, picked off a little bit, put it under his nose and smelled it, and the color changed slightly.

Ling Shu looked at Yue Dingtang, who nodded.

"It turned out to be a public servant."

When they searched Du Yuning's room before, they accidentally found debris under her bed.

It is also this kind of public class.

"Too many coincidences, it becomes inevitable. Can I think that the two people who attacked us tonight are probably also the ones who lured Du Yuning to smoke?"

Yue Dingtang said: "Du Yuning once hated opium, because her grandfather and father were addicted to opium, and her grandfather died tragically because of it. She herself is also a new woman who has gone to school. Normally, she would never touch it. these things."

Ling Shu naturally continued: "After marriage, Yuan Bing may have been obsessed with her beauty at the beginning, but the good times didn't last long. Everyone in Shanghai knows that Yuan Bing and Young Master Yuan like to take dancers out to play the most. As a wife, even if Du Yuning wears gold and silver, and has no worries about food and clothing, she is definitely not happy in her heart. The more she indulges in those glory and wealth, the more empty her heart is. It is understandable that she started smoking opium under the temptation of Hong Xiaoguang. "

Yue Dingtang: "We still don't know what Hong Xiaoguang and his gang are planning for the Yuan family, but if he can completely control Du Yuning, it will not be difficult to achieve their goal."

Ling Shu: "Why didn't they start with Yuan Bing? This person is weak and greedy for beauty, isn't it easier to attack? And as the master of the Yuan family, Du Yuning who he knows may know, and what he doesn't know, Du Yuning must also have no idea."

Yue Dingtang: "How do you know they haven't tried?"

As soon as the words fell, both of them were startled.

The four eyes met, and seemed to think of something crucial.

Then there was a knock on the door.

The two had to temporarily interrupt the conversation.

Yue Dingtang put away the bullets and the gun.

"Please come in."

It was Yue Chunxiao who pushed the door open.

She was carrying a bag and a basket in her hand, followed by a servant with lunch boxes in both hands.

"Are you all right? I brought you something to eat."

She put down the fruit basket, and glanced over Yue Dingtang, making sure that he was fine except for trauma, and finally stopped her gaze on Ling Shu.

"You are Lingshu, right? Remember me?"

Ling Shu smiled and said: "Sister Chunxiao, why don't you remember? In the past, Du Yuning and I went to Yue's house as guests, and you even cooked for us by yourself. At that time, I even praised you with Yue Dingtang."

His head and neck were wrapped in gauze, and he was wearing a hospital gown, but he still had a soft smile on his face, like a harmless little animal, which was very pitiful.

Yue Chunxiao had always liked him, but now that he met the real person, he found that he was even more beautiful than he remembered, and he laughed so hard that his heart collapsed, and his affection burst out in an instant.

"Why are you hurt like this! What did the doctor say? I don't think this hospital is very good, why don't I find someone to change it for you!"

She stepped forward to inspect Ling Shu's injury, the more she looked at it, the more distressed she became.

"It's all right, and you hurt your head, what should you do if you leave a scar in the future? Are you dizzy now, can you move?"

"It's okay, Sister Chunxiao, I just got hit on the back of the head, but my forehead wasn't hurt."

"That's even more serious! The head thing is not a joke. It's not the same as a broken limb. My sister brought you food and drink. There are Chinese food and Western food, but it took some time on the way. The taste may be a little different from the one just out of the oven, so you open it and see what you like to eat!"

Yue Dingtang looked at the two talking and laughing, and was speechless.

Those who didn't know thought that the two of them were real siblings, and that he was picked up by the side of the road.

"Have you two forgotten that I, a living person, is here?"

Yue Chunxiao turned around and gave him a scolding look.

"You're fine, isn't it just your arm that's injured, it's good to take care of it, Ling Shu hurt his head, so he needs to mend it, otherwise what will happen if something goes wrong in the future?"

Yue Dingtang: ...

Yue Chunxiao was puzzled: "I don't know yet, how did you get hurt? Why are you all hospitalized, and the person who reported it at home couldn't explain it clearly. I thought you were in a car accident!"

Ling Shu: "Lao Yue suffered a gunshot wound on his arm, but luckily he missed it, it was just a scratch."

Yue Chunxiao's complexion changed, first he took a careful look at Yue Dingtang, and after confirming that he was fine, he turned to Ling Shu again and gasped.

"Then you were also shot?"

Ling Shu said obediently: "At that time, Yue Dingtang was trapped by gunmen outside, I rushed out to rescue him, and took a sap, nothing serious."

Yue Dingtang: ...

He felt that the cause and effect relationship of Ling Shu's words was reversed, but the other party did save his life, there was no doubt about it.

If it wasn't for Ling Shu's kick at that time, he would probably lie in the morgue and face Third Sister's tears now.

Yue Chunxiao was shocked when he heard this.

"Why is there another gunman? What the hell is going on? Who did you offend? Why don't I send a telegram to my eldest brother and second brother to tell them to come back quickly!"

Yue Dingtang said in a deep voice: "We can solve it ourselves, there is no need to worry the elder brother and the second brother."

Yue Chunxiao met his eyes, was silent for a moment, and when he looked at Ling Shu again, his face was distressed again.

"Good boy, you are Dingtang's savior, and from now on you will be our Yue family's savior. I treated you like a younger brother before, so don't see me in the future. Just tell me if you have anything to do. Let's see what my sister brought you to eat!"

She asked the servants who came with her to open the food boxes one by one.

The aroma of steamed pork and sweet and sour fish first rushed out to occupy the whole room, while ginseng chicken soup followed slowly and methodically.

Although Ling Shu had just finished drinking the chicken soup Ling Yao sent, it didn't prevent him from twitching his index finger when he saw the sweet and sour fish.

Yue Chunxiao laughed when he saw it, and hurriedly took out the chopsticks and stuffed them there.

"The sweet and sour fish is the best when it is just out of the oven. The skin is crispy and the meat is tender, with a sweet and sour taste. After a long time, the crispy skin becomes soft, and the sweet and sour sauce becomes sticky, and the taste is gone."

Yue Dingtang prefers the pig's trotters.

The stew was soft and rotten, all the bones were removed, and the vinegar sauce made from soy sauce wrapped the pork skin, reflecting a crystal luster.

Meat is not pure fat, only fat and thin can be called real hoof meat.

With this stewed pig's trotters, Yue Dingtang can finish a bowl of rice.

Not long after the two started eating, Ling Yao came back with a bag of oranges in his hand.

Yue Chunxiao happened to turn around, and the two sides met each other, and Ling Yao's smile froze on his face.

Yue Dingtang had heard his third sister's complaints at home, and was afraid that her words would be ridicule, and was about to smooth things over, when Yue Chunxiao spoke up.

"You came to see Ling Shu."

The attitude is fairly peaceful.

Ling Yao hummed, nodded in return, and seeing Ling Shu eating sweet and sour fish with chopsticks, his smile disappeared immediately.

Ling Shu hurriedly put down his chopsticks, and fawned: "Sister, you're finally back, I've been waiting so long for your oranges!"

Ling Yao raised his eyebrows: "You are already eating fish, can you still eat oranges? Just hit your head, and you want to eat your stomach too?"

Ling Shu: "How can I, I just love the oranges you bought!"

Ling Yao said coldly: "I brought back the oranges, you should drink more boiled water."

Yue Chunxiao couldn't stand it anymore.

"Why are you so angry at the child! He's hurt like this, why don't you eat more good tonics? What kind of oranges do you eat in winter? How can you eat them so cold? You might as well buy canned oranges! You If you can’t afford it, you can’t let Ling Shu and you suffer!”

Ling Yao said angrily: "This is my brother, not your brother, it's none of your business!"

Ling Shu: "... Sister, Sister Chunxiao, I asked you to buy the oranges. It's my fault. Don't get angry."

Yue Chunxiao: "Look at how sensible the child is! He's not my younger brother, but I treat him as my younger brother, and I feel sorry for him. What else would you do besides teaching him and scolding him all day long?"

Ling Yao: "That's better than you! Ever since I was in school, I've loved showing off, like a cuckoo, chattering here and there all day long, don't think I don't know, you are the one who speaks ill of me behind my back !"

Yue Chunxiao: "I said bad things about you? If you don't inquire about it yourself, who among the female classmates liked you when you were in school, and you need me to say it behind your back? You have a set of clothes every day, which is more beautiful than flowers and butterflies. Are you ashamed to say that I am beautiful?!"

Yue Ding Tang Fu forehead.

Rao has a brilliant tongue, never lacks words on the podium, and he can't get in at this moment.

——Finally understand what it means to fight a woman's war without others present.

He couldn't help turning his head to look at Ling Shu.

The latter was already lying on the bed, covered with a quilt, with a look of "I am sleeping peacefully, please do not disturb".

Yue Dingtang: ...

Quickly and wisely, he ran to Lingshu's bedside.

"Lingshu, what's wrong with you, wake up!"

The two women immediately shut up, following the prestige, with nervous expressions on their faces.

"Little brother, are you okay!"

"Hurry up and call the doctor!"

The doctor came quickly, followed by the nurse.

"Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

Ling Shu supported his head, weak and pale, pitiful and helpless.

"I don't know, I just feel dizzy, and I can't even sit on the bed, so I can only lie down."

From an unnoticed angle, Yue Dingtang gave Ling Shu a thumbs up for his acting skills.

Ling Shu felt that it was too difficult for him.
