"impossible!"
Without even thinking about it, Zhen Congyun subconsciously thought that Ling Shu was fooling himself again.
"I heard that after the fall of the Ling family, the Ling family's siblings depended on each other for life. Your sister gave out the remaining property for you to study abroad, and everyone said that you would have great prospects when you returned from studying abroad. At that time, I had a cousin, and when she came back, she told us as a joke. Listen, you said that your sister's heart is higher than the sky and her life is thinner than paper, but she has fallen to this point, and she didn'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 bring a smile, mocking the silent hidden, as if to say, your sister's bragging is really bragging, and after her proud brother came back, not only did she fail to revive the family business, In the end, I could only rely on my brother-in-law's relationship to get a job as a police officer.
"You should thank Yue Dingtang. If it weren't for his support, now you still have to hang out in that small police station, greet you and send them to you, nod and bow whenever you see anyone, and it's even more impossible to deal with me."
At this moment, Zhen Congyun seemed to be still the same Miss Zhen, who was high above the sky, the arrogant daughter of the sky, loved by her family, and ordinary people were waiting in front of her, but they were muddy and not worth seeing.
"you're right."
"My sister searched for the family, and she could only reluctantly scrape together the tuition fees for me to study abroad. Once the ferry ticket leaves, I don't know when I can come back, but even if I come back from overseas, it doesn't matter. The department may not really be able to get a golden job and bring the Ling family back to life. At that time, I was young and energetic, and I felt that my sister was not easy, but I didn't want to be looked down upon by her. I wanted to make a lot of money, and I wanted to make She was impressed, so she sold the ticket and went to Yunnan alone."
"I heard people say that Yunnan is prevalent in tobacco sales. If you are brave enough to join 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 a platoon under Long Yun. I was all about getting ahead, and I wasn’t afraid of hardships during training. In addition, I still had some money left by my sister in my pocket, so I dredged up and down. In addition, I deliberately made good friends with comrades and superiors, and I had a good relationship with the people in the platoon. "
"At that time, there was a little salary in the army, and there was not enough food and drink to support the whole family. Many people would do some private work to make money in private. I originally joined the army with this goal in mind. Who knows that our platoon leader is a wonderful person. He is not only very disciplined. , we are not allowed to touch these too. The squad leader above me was discovered by him because he was a smuggler of cigarettes and soil, and directly in front of everyone, he gave people to Fa-rectification on the spot. On the contrary, I was a soldier because I was excluded by the elderly in the class. , I didn't get involved in these things, 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. Platoon Elder Zhou, just call him Lao Zhou. You don't know him anyway. I'm a new recruit, I don't even know shit, what I usually train for has changed on the battlefield, I hear bullets flying by my ears, and cannonballs explode right next to me, do you know what that feels like?"
The comrade-in-arms were blown into pieces, and the smell of burnt meat wafted around, like undercooked barbecue, with a fishy smell.
I want to vomit, I can't vomit, I can only retching.
But if you are stunned for a second, it may be you who is fried to mincemeat.
Ling Shu could only dodge left and right, bewildered, what marksmanship, what calmness, all the blood and courage vanished.
Before the Ling family's decline, Ling Shu was in high spirits and felt that he was also a proud son of the heavens. The new era was just around the corner. Even if he couldn't make achievements, he would still make some achievements.
After the fall of the Ling family, he vowed to support the Ling family by himself, so that those who looked down on him in the past would regret it, so that his sister would no longer have to frown at the spiritual position of her parents every day.
However, on the battlefield, he only had one thought, and that was to survive.
The gunpowder smoke was mixed with fishy mutton, and it was difficult to see the road ahead, but even if you retreated, you could not go home.
"enough!"
Zhen Congyun didn't want to listen to those descriptions that made him imaginative, and interrupted him sharply.
"Don't think that you can scare me like this, you will still live if it is so dangerous!"
"I am alive, but I should have been one of those cannon fodders who died on the battlefield."
"It was Lao Zhou who pushed me away before the shells fell, and his legs were blown off."
"Lao Zhou's legs flew over my head. I was completely stupid. Later, I didn't know how I dragged Lao Zhou to avoid the war and survived until the reinforcements came."
"A few days later, Lao Zhou woke up in the hospital. Because of my arm injury, I didn't have to go to the battlefield. I stayed to help take care of him. Lao Zhou found that he lost his leg and seemed to be calm, but I was always worried about him. I can't think of it, I keep staring at him all the time."
"Once, Lao Zhou called me to him and asked me to apply for retirement after my injury was healed. He would help me turn around and gave me a letter of recommendation to go to Yunnan Jiangwutang to go to school. He said that I was still young, I should learn things quickly, I shouldn’t die on the battlefield for these unnecessary and endless civil wars, I should go to school, learn more advanced and systematic knowledge, and learn how to be a qualified soldier.”
"You still remember, I joined the Yunnan Army just to follow the benefits, get some oil and water, and then go back to revive the family business, but Lao Zhou actually said that I have the potential to be a soldier."
Ling Shu was talking, but Zhen Congyun, who was opposite him, didn't laugh, but he laughed out loud first.
It's just that the laughter contains many meanings that even he himself can't explain.
He still remembered the old Zhou at that time, his face was ill, but he was not depressed, but the bottom half of the quilt was empty.
The country is in trouble, we should be self-improvement. You are a good seedling, don't be cannon fodder for nothing, you don't know how you died until you die. My legs are considered useless in this life. You should walk around on my behalf. After graduating from the martial arts hall, it doesn’t matter what you want to do. go astray.
This is what Lao Zhou said to him, and he still remembers these words clearly to this day.
Funny to say.
He wanted to join forces and do whatever they could, but when he met an old Zhou, he was forced to go back to the right path.
"You don't have to go." Zhen Congyun said, "His legs are broken, and he can't help you at all."
Ling Shu: "But I owe him a life. The kindness of a life, don't say he just let me go to school, even if I want to give him my leg back, I will pay it back."
Zhen Congyun sneered: "It's me, I won't pay it back. He voluntarily saved people, no one forced him, just give more money. In today's world, a few dollars can buy a life, even if he is a small platoon. Long, that is, a few more oceans!"
Ling Shu stopped talking.
Zhen Congyun frowned, she subconsciously felt that Ling Shu didn't like or even resented her words, 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 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 become a soldier!"
After a while, Ling Shu spoke up.
"When I graduated, the Northeast Army had already 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 all over the country. Although many people didn't say it, In fact, I understand in my heart that this battle, sooner or later, will have to be fought, and it is likely to break out in the northeast."
"Lao Zhou is still dead. In the year I graduated, he occasionally felt a cold, and because his body was weak after amputating his legs, he 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's life, I promised him, and I went to Shanghai, ten feet soft and red, and I'm drunk, it will only kill my will, and I can't fulfill my promise. "
"One of my classmates in the same period was from the Northeast. He just wanted to go back to the Northeast. We packed our bags and headed north. Yuan Sansi met at that time. A brother who fought a trench."
"No!" Zhen Congyun interrupted him, "Others say that Yuan Sansi is the housekeeper of Mr. Guan. He has been in the Guan family for many years. When did he go to join the army?"
Ling Shu: "You are talking about Lao Yuan's twin brother. He has a brother who is indeed the confidant of the old man. He died of illness two years ago. He continued to stay by his side, but most people in the Guan family, except the third master, did not know about it. Before the old man died, he had the final say on the major and minor matters of the Guan family, and everyone was used to his authority. I was mediocre, and I never wanted to go over and investigate carefully. 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's words changed, and the story came to an abrupt end.
"Miss Zhen, since Lao Yue is back, I can take a breath and don't have to tell stories anymore, 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 listened to him talking about such an idle story. , she wouldn't be patient enough to listen to this.
"Where's the stone!" she shouted at the visitor.
"I'm here." Sure enough, it was Yue Dingtang's voice.
"Go open the door!"
Ling Shu narrowed his eyes.
The moment Zhen Congyun saw Yue Dingtang, he naturally aimed his gun at the latter.
Because for her, Yue Dingtang, who went and returned, was definitely more threatening than Ling Shu.
Little did they 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 back, someone was already in front of her!
Zhen Congyun was shocked.
She shot!
