The Plow

Faced with the doubts of the middle-aged woman, Ling Shu played a cautious role.

He didn't say whether he was here to pick up people or not.

"Sister, let's take a look first, is it convenient or not?"

The woman shook her head.

"Forget it, I'm a widow here, it's unlucky, you better not come in."

Ling Shu smiled and stepped in directly.

"It's okay, we don't mind. Now is a new era, and everyone is advocating scientific democracy. We don't believe in these superstitions."

When the child saw a stranger coming in, he quickly hid behind the woman, hugged her legs, and timidly poked his head out. In his watery eyes, he didn't know whose shadow was reflected.

Ling Shu's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously said, "Is this child's surname He?"

Woman: "Yes, you are here to pick up people, right? Last week, Miss He asked someone to send me a message, saying that someone will come to pick up the child soon, and I wanted to keep the child for a while longer, but I didn't expect it to be No. Hey, I have raised him since he was a baby, and now, he is not his real mother, but also the same as his real mother!"

The more Ling Shu listened, the more he felt that this child had a deep connection with He Youan.

It is even very possible that the child is He Youan's child.

However, even though He Youan was married, it was never heard that she and Liang Zhousheng had children.

Where did this kid come from?

"Did Ms. He ever say what it's like to pick up the child?"

Ling Shu bent down to tease the child for a while, but he didn't have any toys in his hand, thanks to his face, the little doll gradually relaxed his vigilance, and after a while, he was willing to snuggle up and play in Ling Shu's arms.

But when she asked these words, the woman suddenly became vigilant, her eyes flicked back and forth between Ling Yue and the two of them.

"Aren't you here to pick him up? Miss He said there were two people here, one surnamed Ling and the other..."

Ling Shu: "The other name is Yue."

Woman: "Miss He said that one is called Yue Dingtang and the other is called Ling..."

Ling Shu: "Ling Shu."

"Yes, that's right!" The woman heaved a sigh of relief, fearing that she would admit the wrong person and let the villain in. "I just said Miss He wouldn't lie to me!"

But these few words aroused the doubts of Ling Shu and Yue Dingtang even more.

He You'an not only expected that something would happen to him, but also expected that Ling Shu and the others would find this place, and even confessed to the woman and let them have the child.

But how could she be sure that they would take the child away?

Ling Shu suddenly remembered the relics that He Youan kept in the safe of HSBC Bank.

Maybe there will be the answers they need.

But for now, let's deal with the children first.

"What else did Miss He tell you?"

"Didn't say anything, she never came to see the child, she just occasionally asked someone to send money and send a message. I have always kept the origin of the child a secret. No one in the town knew about it. They thought I picked it up from a mass grave. Here comes the posthumous son."

Ling Shu said: "Is this child hers?"

The woman is also not sure: "It should be, I really don't know, so don't ask me, she just asked someone to tell me that you will come to pick up the child and give me a sum of money. To be honest, if Without the money she gave me, I really can't afford to take care of this child, and I really can't bear to part with him, or if you come over regularly to send some things like Miss He, I can continue to help you take care of this child?"

"How much did Miss He promise to give you?"

At some point, Yue Dingtang was already standing behind Ling Shu.

The woman seemed a little afraid of him, she pursed her lips and counted with her fingers.

Yue Dingtang directly took out a few silver dollars from his pocket.

"You take these first, we don't have too many with us now, and we will send them to you later."

Ling Shu squatted down and looked at the child at the same level.

The child's response was a little slow, perhaps because he followed the woman and didn't see strangers all year round.

Given the situation of a woman in the town, it is naturally safe enough for the child to be placed here, and no one will come to the door, but such an environment is obviously not a good thing for the child to grow up.

If Ling Shu and the others hadn't come, in a few years, the child would be older and have a formed personality, so he must be half useless.

This may be why He Youan wanted them to take the child away.

"What's your name?" Ling Shu asked softly.

The child did not speak.

The woman said: "Why is this child called, he can't speak yet, and he is usually dull."

Ling Shu: "Why bother, what trouble?"

Woman: "What kind of suffering can it be, the suffering of suffering!"

What a weird name.

Which parent would give a child such a name?

This He Youan didn't want to let people live in peace even if he died, they were involved in one game, and now there are countless puzzles left.

She seemed to have won over Ling Shu's curiosity, and she insisted on letting him unravel it bit by bit.

Ling Shu really wanted not to do what she wanted, but his damn curiosity really made him leave without turning his head.

Why bother can't speak, and can't even walk smoothly, so someone has to be led, otherwise he will fall down.

Ling Shu simply hugged her, but he was very reluctant to part with the woman. He lay on Ling Shu's shoulder and looked back, tears streaming down his face, like a porcelain doll who couldn't speak.

The woman's eyes were also red, and she chased her up a few steps, but she didn't dare to snatch him.

"You, you go, I can't support you, you go with them, they will treat you well!"

In order not to show off, when Lingshu and the others left Tangqiao Town, they stopped going to the Tuolu bakery just now. They walked in a hurry, as if they were thieves, and the child was wrapped in a blanket and held in his arms, a small one, I thought it was a burden if I didn't look closely.

"What should we do now?"

After returning to Shanghai, Ling Shu realized what kind of trouble he had brought back.

This is not a small animal, nor is it a curio, but a child, a living child.

Raising a child is not about giving up as soon as you want. Not only do you have to take care of food, drink, and drinks, but you also have to teach him to read and write, and to be civilized.

It's no problem for Ling Shu to support himself, he is unrestrained, and he doesn't take his injuries to heart, and he is a good man when he lies down in the hospital.

But now, he was dumbfounded.

Yue Dingtang sighed.

"Just now you just hugged him and left decisively. I didn't even have time to stop you."

Ling Shu: "Isn't my heart soft for a moment, He You'an is dead, if we don't care, this child will have to wait to die, right?"

Yue Dingtang said: "Have you ever thought that this might be another trap set by He Youan? Since she asked us for help, she has pulled us into her trap. Until now, even though she is dead, the thread she laid But it has been working, even if you take the child away, it should be within her expectation."

Ling Shu said: "You mean, we want to do the opposite, so what should we do?"

Yue Dingtang: "Send the person to a reformatory."

Seeing that Ling Shu didn't say anything, Yue Dingtang made another stab.

"Sister Ling Yao should be back today."

Ling Shu shuddered and looked down.

The child had already dried up her tears, and slept peacefully in Lingshu's arms, with her thumb in her mouth, sucking and sucking, dreaming sweetly.

In the end, the child was temporarily placed in the Yue family.

Because the reformatory school is too far away from here, I have to go back and forth to the bank again and again, and there is not enough time.

It was the old housekeeper Uncle Zhou who came to open the door. When he saw the child in Ling Shu's arms, he was stunned.

"Where did this child come from?"

"This is Yue Dingtang's illegitimate son living abroad. The child's mother died, so he brought the child back to raise him." Ling Shu said with a smile.

Uncle Zhou thought it was true, and immediately became anxious, looking at Yue Dingtang and then at the child.

"Hey, why is it so sudden! The young master and the others are not here, what should I do! I'll call Nanjing to ask the third lady to come back!"

After all, he turned around and really wanted to make a phone call.

Yue Dingtang had no choice but to stop him.

"Ling Shu was just joking. This is not my child. It belongs to an old friend of ours. She died unexpectedly. The child will be entrusted to us temporarily. When we finish our work, we will send it to the reformatory."

Uncle Zhou was suspicious: "Fourth young master, don't lie to me, this kid looks a lot like you!"

Yue Dingtang: ...

If Ling Shu hadn't been holding the child, he would have laughed so hard now.

Even so, his face twitched slightly, and he endured it very hard.

Uncle Zhou was almost confused by them, and his imagination began to take on plump wings.

"Is there something unspeakable about you? Or is his mother's status too low to see the light? It doesn't matter. As long as he enters our Yue's family, he is a child of the Yue family. The eldest and young masters will always find a way together. Fourth young master, you can't let him The blood of the Yue family is flowing outside!"

Yue Dingtang was speechless.

Ling Shu's hands trembled, he couldn't help it anymore, and laughed out loud.

……

Safe No. [-] is an inconspicuous one among the many safes in HSBC.

Ordinary, the shape is no different from other safes.

But in Ling Shu's eyes, this safe contained He Youan's relics and what she wanted to say to Ling Shu and Yue Dingtang.

Even, this safe will be the key clue to unravel all the mysteries.

When the two sat in the reception room and saw the bank manager take out the box from the safe and put it in front of them again, Ling Shu's palm holding the key felt slightly slippery.

I want to open it, but I don't want to open it.

This conflicting mood lasted until the box was placed in front of my eyes for a full 5 minutes.

Ling Shu finally opened the box.

There was only a letter inside, and a thick stack of US dollars underneath.

Ling Shu opened the letter.

The letter was written by He Youan in her own handwriting, and the handwriting is beautiful, which is no different from the signatures she usually gives to movie fans.

Mr. Ling, Mr. Yue Huijian,

When you read this letter, it means that I am no longer in this world.

I know that you must have many doubts and even resentments in your hearts. You feel that I have no grievances or enmity with the two of you, but it is unjust to involve you in it for no reason. Please see that I am in Huangquan now, and I can't do anything. On the face of personally apologizing, allow me to follow the ins and outs of the future with you one by one.

My surname is He, and my name is You'an. I was originally an ordinary woman. My elder brother He Changan and I grew up since we were young. My elder brother treated me kindly and taught me a lot. , but like a brother like a father.One day, something happened to the He family, and the elder brother went out and disappeared, and his whereabouts have been unknown since then.

I searched hard and failed, and I went to the place where he worked several times to find someone, but unfortunately I couldn't find any clues. Many people said that the elder brother felt that his family was in a difficult situation and his younger sister was a burden, so he just left home and left, but I I still don't believe it, because my brother is not such a person at all.

Until one day, my brother's friend came to visit.

That was after my elder brother died, I had already married into Liang's family, Liang Zhou failed to live up to his expectations, he was beaten to death because of gambling debts, I felt that the sky was falling, I had no interest in life, and almost died, but someone came to my door to send news of my elder brother.

Only then did I know that my brother was not missing, but died in an accident. He left work early that day to attend a reading club for progressive youth, but was hunted down and persecuted by Chen Wendong who was beside Shen Shiqi. He left me his last words, let me live well, and told me that he met a woman outside two years ago and gave birth to a child.

Seeing this, you may have many doubts. Yes, I suspected that my brother's identity was not simple.He, together with my sister-in-law, may have other tasks. The ostensible job is just a cover for them. The reason why the child wandered outside is also because he is worried about implicating his family.Even to me, he never revealed the slightest bit of wind.

Shen Shiqi found me and trained me to become a movie star, not just because of my appearance, he knew my brother's identity, wanted to monitor me and imprison me, on the one hand he treated me as a plaything, on the other hand, he I hope to find a breakthrough from me and dig out more secrets behind my brother.

But since I already know all of this, it is absolutely impossible for me to let it happen. What's more, when I know what my brother swore to protect to the death, I am even more determined to this idea.

The deeper I get along with Shen Qiqi, the more I have nothing to hide in front of him. He knows that I don't know anything about my brother's past, so he gradually relaxes his vigilance towards me, and I can't escape from his palm. He obeyed him, and he slowly let me know something.

From this, I also discovered that behind Shen Shiqi, there is another Mr. Cheng.

This Mr. Cheng has greater ability and more mysterious background. Even Shen Shiqi is as docile as a dog in front of him. I know that I can definitely get what I want from him.

Sure enough, I discovered Mr. Cheng's secret.

I think, with Mr. Yue's ability, you must have already learned something about Mr. Cheng.

His surname is Narita, and his single name is a palace. He is a Japanese. He travels between Shanghai and the Northeast to do business. The business is very big. Shanghai is black and white, and he has his connections. Many people think that he has a lot to do with the Kwantung Army. , but in fact, he is the spokesperson of the Kwantung Army in Shanghai.

I learned a piece of news from Mr. Cheng, a very important piece of news, I want to send this piece of news, now that all the contents of this piece of news have happened, it’s okay to tell you, but let’s not mention it here, let’s talk about myself.

At first, I just wanted to track down my brother’s death and avenge him, but it’s ridiculous to say that Shen Shiqi single-handedly trained me to become a movie star, and the movies I starred in have many roles that expose social injustice and call for youth patriotism and progress I don't know if Shen Qiqi will regret it after knowing it?

It's useless to regret, he can only settle accounts with me in the underworld.

Maybe it's because I got into the drama too deeply, and I played too many roles like this, and I became more and more intolerable to Shen Qiqi and Mr. Cheng. There may be many people like them in this land, and it would be beneficial to reduce one or two of them.

So I made a decision to kill Mr. Cheng.

He You'an's letter was a bit long-winded, but it was more like her thoughts about where to write, and it was more like she knew that her death was approaching, and she looked back at the past and poured out her heart.

Such a woman seemed to appear before Ling Shu's eyes.

She sat at the desk, resting her chin on her head, thinking, and writing from time to time. It was dawn and then dark outside, and after the night, there was dawn again, the clouds parted, the sun rose and the moon set, and a long letter gradually took shape.

At some point, Yue Dingtang moved the chair over and sat beside him, and read He's suicide note with him.

There were two extra cups of hot water on the table.

Ling Shu held the cup to warm his hands.

He continued to look down.
