Chentan's Memories

No.40 Eight episodes of confusion

When Lin Lang was young, his father was not at home all year round.

Once my father came back to Jinling for business and stayed at the mansion for more than a month; the night before he left, Lin Lang used his brain to hide.At that time, the whole mansion was in shock - the young master disappeared.

Parents were terrified, and even reported to the government; the sharp-eyed police officers from the government picked Lin Lang out of the gap behind the bookcase while searching for clues in Lin Lang's study.

Dad was very angry that time.

Lin Lang relived this episode in his dream, and still remembered his father's angry eyes at that time—he was so anxious, his eyes were red, and his canthus were about to split.

Lin Lang was scared to death.

In a half-dream, Lin Lang was suddenly awakened by Tang Yushu.He was holding a lamp, standing by the bed, his eyebrows looked a little majestic under the dim light - like a father.

Tang Yushu called himself by name: "Lin Lang."

Lin Lang woke up in a daze, but in the moment of waking up, he broke out in a cold sweat.

——Tang Yushu held the order from the blacksmith shop in his hand.

——The order was placed on the stove in the back kitchen when I returned to the restaurant before the exact hour.

Tang Yushu couldn't hear any emotion in his tone, he asked, "What is this?"

Lin Lang looked at the order paper, then at Tang Yushu, and stammered in reply: "... order... an order."

Tang Yushu asked again: "Why is it on the stove?"

Lin Lang had just been woken up, and the chaos shrouded in drowsiness in his mind hadn't completely dissipated, so he couldn't make up a lie for a while.But there was no lie to prevaricate Tang Yushu, and Lin Lang instantly remembered his father's anger at that time - his eyes were red and his canthus were about to split.

Terrified, Lin Lang got off the couch, stepped on the cold ground with his bare feet, and hugged Tang Yushu: "I'll tell you the truth, don't be angry with me..."

Tang Yushu didn't respond to this sentence.

When he finished talking about the idea of ​​"Yin Yang Pot" to the blacksmith, the blacksmith pointed to a stack of pots in the corner and said, "It's just a coincidence. The superiors bought these pots back: "It was only after I bought them that I found out that they were not worth it... Keep it for use, I can't use it; melt it, it will be troublesome... I happened to weld the leaves in the pot for you, The cheap is yours!"

Lin Lang was naturally happy, and after explaining the pot, he also explained the silver bracelet to be given to Tang Yushu.After signing the order, he came out of the blacksmith's shop - when he came out, it was the beginning of the beginning.

Coming out of the blacksmith shop, Lin Lang was still reminiscing how he was so lucky to get so many pots at such a cheap price——"God help me" complacently.Thinking of Juxian Tower, I was curious for a while, so I turned to Dongshi to take a special look.

It used to be a big restaurant on Chentan, but now the signboard has been smashed, the doors and windows have been unloaded, like an empty shell.

Lin Lang lamented that the wicked will eventually be rewarded with evil, turned around, walked through the empty Dongshi market in the afternoon, and went back to the restaurant from the Jiazi courtyard—this is Lin Lang's point of red lips in Weishi, but Reasons not seen.

After returning to the restaurant, Lin Lang went straight to the back kitchen to find water to drink, and happened to meet Shun Er who was stealing food in the back kitchen.

After scolding him a few words, Lin Lang poured tea for himself, and conveniently threw the blacksmith's order on the stove.

Shun'er was caught stealing from the other side, so he wanted to pull Lin Lang into the water together, and said to Lin Lang, "The little cakes made by Young Master Tang are delicious!"

Lin Lang smiled: "Why did you praise him one sentence at a time today? What benefits did he give you?"

"Master, it's hard to guess what's on your mind—I see you've been scolding Master Tang harshly recently, and I'm afraid you don't like him anymore!" Shun'er talked about her original intention: "I don't understand human feelings, but I'm not a fool. I have been with Young Master for so many years, and I have seen all the people around you, and there are not many who are not interested in you... But only Young Master Tang treats you sincerely! I don't want you not to like him!"

After hearing Shun'er's words, Lin Lang took the small cake that Shun'er handed over, stuffed it into his mouth, and said sweetly, "Who said I don't like you, Young Master Tang?"

Shun'er was puzzled: "Then you still bully him?"

Lin Lang was stunned for a moment, then sighed: "It's my fault. I'm too naive—I like him so much that I always want to tease him a few times—you should also know my temperament. It's really a stink, I have to change... Tang Yushu is really good and worth changing."

Shun'er looked at Lin Lang's gentle brows and eyes when he mentioned Tang Yushu, and she was also happy.

Lin Lang continued: "It's just... the better he is, the more worried I am that I won't be able to hold him - I know he likes me too, but the word 'like' is too vague and imprecise. Like it at this moment, do you like it the next moment? Like it today, will you like it tomorrow? My youthful appearance is better than that of my daughter’s family. He likes it. But in his [-]s, he has a beard and wrinkles. Does he still like it? …Sometimes I also feel that I am greedy, and I think too many boring questions, you know? I even think—if I like it in this life, will he like it in the next life?"

Having said that, the master and servant laughed together.

Shun'er said: "You're an insider, so naturally you don't understand his kindness to you—we outsiders can see it clearly."

Always felt that he was praised, Lin Lang was a bit proud, but he said: "One day, if you want me to be an 'outsider', I want to see how he treats me well!"

"Okay, if you want to see it, I have a trick now!"

Lin Lang raised his eyebrows: "What trick?"

When Shun'er was stuffed in the stable, Lin Lang refused at first: "It's not dirty, these clothes are so precious..."

"Hush..." Shun'er also hid, only to see Tang Yushu come out from the west wing room, and shouted across the courtyard: "Chen Ni!"

"Hey——" Chen Ni responded, "What's wrong, Brother Yushu!"

"Is Lin Lang in your wing?"

"No."

"Oh." Tang Yushu retreated into the room again.

Shun'er winked: "Look, I'm in a hurry now—if you want, stay a little longer, and you'll see how many questions he will ask you!"

Until a moment after the application time, Tang Yushu repeatedly asked more than ten times, and every time Lin Lang saw it, his heart was as sweet as honey.

In the middle of the application time, Tang Yushu finally couldn't sit still and ran out of the yard.At this time, Shun'er was talking to Lin Lang near the horse shed, so scared that Shun'er picked up the broom and patted Lin Lang's head back into the grass and continued to pretend to sweep the floor. Fortunately, Tang Yushu didn't notice Shun'er's movements , not to mention having no time to straighten things out, he rushed straight out of the restaurant.

Shun'er felt that this was enough, and when Tang Yushu's figure left the restaurant, he dug Lin Lang out of the pile of grass: "Master Outsider, are you happy?"

Lin Lang's face flushed with embarrassment: "It's fun to watch!"

"Okay, go back."

Lin Lang was addicted: "No, it's not enough, I have to scare him!"

Shun'er stared: "Why scare him?"

Lin Lang said: "This is just normal - I have to see what he will do if I am also in trouble!"

Cha Shun'er went to the account room to get a pen and paper, and Lin Lang wrote a kidnapping note with his left hand; in order to increase the sense of suspense and danger, Lin Lang took off his coat and wrapped the note.

"Okay, it's enough for you to cooperate with me, go back first--that brat Chen Ni, don't make him suspicious."

The reason for writing 300 taels is because it is moderately difficult for Lin Lang to set this level: first, Lin Lang knew that the total amount of silver taels under the account was 250 eight taels, and if the amount was close, Tang Yushu would not be too embarrassed; Then Lin Lang needed to give Tang Yushu room to play—specifically, to ask for it, Lin Lang just wanted to see how far he would go for himself.

After about another moment, Lin Lang threw the balled clothes out forcefully.

Next, Chen Ni picked up the kidnapping note and accidentally involved A Ci. Tang Yushu hurriedly collected money, and even knelt down to A Ci for borrowing money.

Every move and expression of Tang Yushu made Lin Lang feel a little sweeter in his eyes.

The three of them didn't know what they discussed in the west wing room, and then ran out of the restaurant.Shun'er ran over in a panic: "Young master, we overdid it! ——Master Tang and the others decided to go to the Xishi Mule stable to find someone! With Master Tang's personality, there will definitely be trouble!"

Lin Lang soaked in the sweetness and his whole body was soft, sweet enough, when Shun'er said so, he felt that the end was not easy.

"Otherwise... I go out directly? Just say I escaped by myself?"

"You escaped by yourself, they are not allowed to report to the official? Once reported to the official, where can we stand the investigation? When the truth is revealed, we will be finished!"

Lin Lang thought for a while: "That's right...then, this play has to go on..."

So I wrote the second note: "Before the engraving of the beginning of Haichu, put the silver in Shigan at the exit of the mountain pass in the western suburbs, and bark three times as a sign."

This time with an undergarment too...so...boots!

"When they come back from the mule shed, I'll find a way to throw the boots into the yard and show them. I'll go out of the mountain pass first to hide!"

Shun'er was puzzled: "Why is it there?"

"It's empty there! It's easy for me to hide, but it's hard for Tang Yushu to hide——I can't let him catch me!"

After finishing speaking, Lin Lang went around from Jiaziyuan, avoiding pedestrians all the way, and went to the western suburbs.

But Shun'er was holding the boots, thinking hard, and couldn't think of how to create a scene where "the boots suddenly fell in the courtyard but it had nothing to do with me" in front of two people who knew martial arts. Come back to the restaurant.

With an idea, Shun Er took out a note from her boots, played the role of picking up the note, and said to Chen Ni: "I don't know the ones with radicals, and I only know seven characters without radicals..."

Besides, Lin Lang lay in ambush at the west exit mountain pass, and when Tang Yushu and A Ci brought the money, he saw them hiding in the grove again.

They didn't hide well, and the horse's feet were exposed; Lin Lang hid on the city wall and laughed - the tiger's tail wagging all the time, and that fool Tang Yushu would poke his head out to peek from time to time, which exposed their hiding place - Lin Lang also sweated for himself: If I was really tied up, I would have been torn apart by this idiot alone!

I planned to take the opportunity to take a detour back to the God of Wealth Mansion from Xishan, but suddenly I became greedy for money: how can I have the heart to let the hard-earned money of that restaurant be abandoned in the wilderness?Lin Lang was determined to take the silver back.

After picking it up, Tang Yushu must be pushed away.

So Lin Lang took out a pen and paper, wrote the third note, tied it with a red cherry hairpin, and threw the stone far away while they were hiding.

Tang Yushu was completely irritated, and it was the first time he heard him swear - "I say you are a god!"

I couldn't understand what he was cursing, but I could tell that his aura was quite bluffing.On the one hand, Lin Lang thought Tang Yushu was so stupid, but on the other hand he thought Tang Yushu was so handsome, so Lin Lang didn't know whether the smile on his face was laughing at Tang Yushu or whether he was fascinated by Tang Yushu.

After Tang Yushu finished cursing over there, he confessed: "Listen—we'll leave immediately! Lin Lang must come back to the restaurant unscathed at the latest after midnight at the latest! You can take the money with peace of mind, and we will be safe and sound." ! If there is even a slight difference, I, Tang Yushu—no matter what kind of god you are, even if you go to heaven or earth, I will capture you and eat you alive!"

In the past, I only saw him pampering and letting me, but I rarely saw this kind of imposing side.

Lin Lang felt so handsome that his heart shuddered.

After Tang Yushu really left, he went down to pick up the money bag and buried it under a pine tree at the exit of the mountain.

Then I went back to the restaurant.

After listening to Lin Lang finish everything, Tang Yushu remained silent with no expression on his face.

In fact, until Lin Lang returned to the restaurant, he didn't realize how miserable this incident was for Tang Yushu.It was only when Tang Yushu hugged and fell to the ground as soon as he entered the door, and the huge man cried like a child, that Lin Lang's heart started to beat.

Then it was serving hot noodles, asking repeatedly "Is it hot, salty, spicy, delicious or not" and circling around me; then it was endlessly boiling water, carrying buckets of water back to the West Wing To bathe himself; scolded the kidnapper in the Shu dialect that Lin Lang could not understand, and repeatedly rubbed Lin Lang's head to comfort him, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, everything will be fine"...

Lin Lang felt that Tang Yushu was actually the one who was most afraid and at a loss.

Moreover, his "outsider" drama was obviously overacted.

Lin Lang was afraid that Tang Yushu would be angry, so he hugged Tang Yushu tightly and didn't dare to move or talk to him. He even made the mental preparation that "he would be willing to be punched a few times"...but he could hear Tang Yushu shaking the oil lamp in his hand heavily. Lin Lang was still terrified by the sound when he fell to the ground.

No matter how tightly he hugged himself, it would be easy for Tang Yushu to get rid of him.He didn't let Lin Lang get punched, but he went out of the courtyard, kicked open the door of the East Wing, picked up Shun'er who was sleepy, and said, "You're really good at acting!"

Shun'er was terrified and trembling.Lin Lang stretched out his hand to save him: "Don't scare him, you can hit me if you are angry!"

Tang Yushu pushed Shun'er into Lin Lang's arms, and looked at Lin Lang coldly: "Are you having fun playing tricks on me?"

Lin Lang didn't dare to answer.

After confronting each other in the dark for a long time, Tang Yushu restrained his anger and said, "I don't want to see you."
