Painting Tang

"Master, our family just got Chaozhou licorice fruit this morning. It clears away heat and nourishes the lungs. Would you like to pick some to bring?"

The shop owner looked at Yu Tang's well-dressed clothes, his face was like jade, and he thought that he must be a rich man. While making coffee for him, he introduced the fruits in the shop to him.

"Put it on."

Yu Tang had read about this Chaozhou specialty in the book a long time ago. The salted and candied fresh fruit was sprinkled with sweet licorice juice. It was sweet but not greasy, sour but not astringent. Sweet taste, it must be false to say that you are not greedy.

"Hey, I'll go into the house and help you pack the fruit basket. The licorice fruits are all placed in the cupboard outside the house. You can pick out a bowl by yourself."

The boss was busy packing, so Yu Tang didn't bother him too much, and squatted in front of the cabinet by the door with a bowl in his hand to carefully select.

He knew that Mu Jingchen liked to eat mangoes, and he also remembered that Zhou Ruo liked to eat strawberries. Mu Huaiyi wanted to eat a plate of little cherry tomatoes every day, so he took the lead in picking these three kinds of fruits.

Mu Jingchen looked at Yutang picking fruits across the busy road. The spring sun was shining, and the ink-soaked hair was coated with a layer of light gold, and the exposed half of the neck was also tanned as if it had just come out of the water. The sparkling white jade that was fished out... In broad daylight, Mu Jingchen slipped his Adam's apple unconsciously.

What did Yu Tang say yesterday?Said that he and Yu Mian's original plan was to take risks and trick Lin Yue into poisoning himself...Mu Jingchen was naturally trembling and heartbroken when he heard about it. You have to press Xiao Haitang to force him to promise that he will never use his life as a bargaining chip in the future.

The scorching sight was blocked by a huge object that suddenly broke into his field of vision, and he saw two white-painted ambulances slamming to a stop in front of Mu Jingchen. A young man who was in a hurry, followed by a smell of alcohol.

Although Mu Jingchen was displeased, he didn't attack. He held his breath and wanted to go to the side to make room for the group of drunken people who had beaten him to the hospital, but suddenly he was grabbed by a drunk who fell from the car next door.

"Mu...Teacher Mu! You are...Mu Jingchen, right!"

The sour smell of alcohol came over his face, and Mu Jingchen frowned, only then did he realize that the drunk who was picking on him was not someone else, but a student in the studio.

"You... come to drink too? Drink! You, this young master took Teacher Yu away, so that we can only draw, draw the old man every day! Draw the old man! You villain..."

Although Mu Jingchen felt helpless, he declared very naively,

"he's mine."

"……what?"

The drunken student didn't hear clearly, so Mu Jingchen picked up the collar and threw it to the nurse who came to pick up the car with a stretcher.The doctors and nurses were familiar with the road, and they carried and pulled them with all their hands. Within 2 minutes, they drove two cars of drunks to the emergency room to bandage the wounds. Mu Jingchen patted the wrinkled clothes, and then looked up. When Xiang Yutang found out that there was no one on the other side of the road...!

The store owner had just helped Yutang pack the coffee and fruit basket, and when he came out to collect the money humming a tune, he was almost scared to death by the rushing figure.

"What about the person who just picked fruit at the door?"

"...Ah? You mean the young master Yumian? He's been outside... hey? Where's he? Didn't he just squat outside to pick fruit?"

The boss ran out and looked at the fruit bowl that fell on the ground, confused,

"There is no movement at all, how could the young master disappear out of thin air...?"

Naturally, he didn't wait for Mu Jingchen's answer. The one who would come to take Yutang away at this time would only be Lin Yue who was cornered and wanted to kill him.

Mu Jingchen had no thoughts and no time to be upset. Zhen Hui rushed over after hearing the news, and was startled when he saw Mu Jingchen's gloomy expression, and then quickly calculated several escape routes that Lin Yue might choose in his mind.

"Brother, do you want me to bring someone into the city and take Lin Yue directly?"

"No need,"

Mu Jingchen's eyes were clear, "You stop the foreign businessman's escort team and those wild bandits colluding with Lin Yue outside the city, and cut off his escape route."

"...Okay, brother, be careful in everything. Lin Yue is full of tricks, I don't know what else he has left behind."

"It's useless no matter how much he keeps behind,"

Mu Jingchen said coldly, "No one can save him today."

"Yes!"

Zhen Hui nodded, not daring to procrastinate any further, leaving people in ambush around the hospital to guard the old general and his wife inside, and then only took a small team of people to drive to the city gate. Mu Jingchen ordered people to block up Bilin Trading Company and Lin At the gate of the house, when I was about to start to investigate all the warehouses of Bilin Society in the city, I suddenly noticed a water stain next to the bowl that fell on the ground, and the juice dripping from the squeezed fruit was very clear on the gray stone road. , extending sparsely all the way to the corner alley on the side.

Mu Jingchen followed the mark left by Yu Tang into the alley, the narrow alley was crowded and messy, and the fruit pieces held in Yu Tang's hands had limited juice after all, and it didn't last long before they ran out, leaving no traces.

Yu Tang was woken up by the smell of dust. He was excitedly picking fruits when someone covered his face with a smelly towel from behind. Before the drug took full effect, he quietly grabbed a handful of fresh fruits Squeeze out juice along the way, but it didn't take long for him to fall into a coma completely, and the mark on the glass of water is probably useless, and it won't be long before it evaporates without a trace.

"Cough, cough, cough—"

The thick smoke invaded his nose and nose, and Yu Tang coughed uncontrollably. His hands and feet were tightly bound with thick ropes, but nothing was stuffed in his mouth. I'm afraid Lin Yue was sure that even if he yelled out, he wouldn't be caught. hear.

"you're awake?"

A female voice came from next to his ear, and Yu Tang shrank back instinctively, only to see a beautiful woman with a delicate figure squatting in front of him when she raised her eyes.

"you……"

Yu Tang was about to speak when Jian Yu covered her mouth with her palm.

"Shh - I know you."

Jinyu whispered, then stood up and shouted to the person Lin Yue sent to protect her outside,

"Just now the skirt was lifted by the fire, I want to change clothes inside, don't look around in there before it's over... If the master finds out, be careful!"

Yu Tang took the opportunity to sit up and look out of the window. He saw thick smoke billowing not far away, which was a sign of a fire. He looked around the room where he was closed. There were several huge safes in the corner. It seemed that Lin Yue was Determined to run away, he set fire to the Lin house, and hid the treasure and his wife here first.

Yu Tang's guess was right, Lin Yue didn't feel relieved after catching him, but began to arrange his escape even more panicked and urgently - after all, taking Yu Tang abducted meant that Mu Jingchen would come after him immediately!

After dismissing the nursing home outside, Jinyu squatted back in front of Yutang, blinked her eyes and looked at Yutang with a "really pretty" expression.

"The girl said she recognized me...?"

Yu Tang spoke first, he had no impression of the woman in front of him, and she didn't look like an old friend of En Yi's age, so who else...?

"You, are you a friend of Miss Zou's family?"

When Jinyu spoke carefully, she whispered softly, "Miss Zou Yueyin is kind to me. I saw you walking with her on the street. She is a good person, so you should be too."

Before Jinyu was bought by Lin Yue, she worked as a hostess in Panhualou, and she only had one day off every month. She finally took off the gaudy makeup on her face, and wanted to look like a normal and innocent Like a girl, she went shopping in the street, but was recognized by the shop owner, who scolded her for being unclean and blasted her into the street.

Just when Zou Yueyin was returning home from vacation, she saw someone bullying the emaciated Jinyu. She and Mu Jingchen were both aggressive, so they went to teach the shop owner a lesson, and bought a candied haws skewer for Jinyu. .

Jinyu was older than her, but she looked like a little girl because she was too thin, so Zou Yueyin took her for granted and coaxed her like a child, but she didn't expect that a good deed that she did casually would be remembered by Jinyu all the time. in the heart.

After being bought by Lin Yue to live a life without worrying about food and clothing, Jinyu wanted to thank Zou Yueyin many times, but Zou Yueyin rarely returned to China, even if he occasionally met on the street, Jinyu was far away Looking at it from a distance, he was so overwhelmed by Zou Yueyin's high spirits that he forgot what to say, and when he recovered, Zou Yueyin had already left.

"What's your relationship with Lin Yue?"

Yu Tang saw that Jinyu was not malicious, so she slowed down her tone and stopped curling up vigilantly in the corner.

"I am the concubine that the master bought into the door, named Jinyu."

As he spoke, Jinyu brought Yu Tang a cup of tea, "Are you thirsty? Did you choke on the fire smoke? Don't be afraid, the master said it's safe here, and he'll pick us up in a while."

Jinyu didn't know the grievances between Lin Yue and Yutang, she felt moved just by looking at Yutang, and she had the consciousness of wanting to protect him and pity him out of thin air.

"Miss Jinyu is kind, can you tell Zou Yueyin that I am in Lin Yue's hands?"

"That, that won't work, I can only treat you better and take care of you quietly, but you should, should be very important to the master, and I can't ruin the good things of the master."

Jinyu shook his head, and after deliberating for a while, he closed the curtains in front of the small window.
