CHAPTER XXVI
There is a verandah at the corner of the downstairs, the sky is dark, the lanterns are lit in the small courtyard, and the sound of singing in front can be heard clearly. The boss walked in front, stepped into a moon cave door is the guest room that usually entertains Tian Zhaonian, it is a small courtyard with a single room, the room is lit with lights, the boss pushes open the door, and a table of dishes has already been set properly. The boss and a few subordinates stood at the door, waiting for Tian Zhaonian's orders.
Tian Zhaonian was very satisfied with the good food on this table, and immediately ordered the boss to bring the wine up, and no one else had to stay. The boss did so, and let the guys go, closing the door himself so they could talk.
Just entered this courtyard, there are a few plum trees planted in the wall, there is no light in the courtyard is very dim, there is only a small hall through the west, the night breeze blows, Ying Shuhe unconsciously a cold wind hits his heart. However, after entering the house, the warmth of the candles and the warmth on his face made him relax a lot.
Soon after they sat down, the boss personally brought a pot of warm wine, put it down and went down.
Tian Zhaonian gave him a glass of wine, Ying Shuhe drank it in one gulp, he was a good drinker, but the military academy was strict and disciplined, and he was not allowed to drink, and after he drank the fifth glass, he felt warm all over his body, and he was drunk. Tian Zhaonian teased him once, but he no longer forced him and ate the dishes on the table.
The two of them chatted while eating, and they didn't finish much of the dishes on the table, but Ying Shuhe suddenly shouted to sing, Tian Zhaonian knew that he was drunk when he saw his cheeks flushed, so he didn't stop him, and let him stand in the hall and sing. Tian Zhaonian listened to it with relish, and gave him a beat, Ying Shuhe sang "Su Wu Shepherd", until the singing ended, Ying Shuhe himself was surprised that he did not forget the words, just sang so smoothly, Tian Zhaonian applauded, and gave him a toast when he came down, but Ying Shuhe refused, Tian Zhaonian smiled: "Don't pretend to me, I don't know how many catties and taels of wine you have?"
Ying Shuhe smirked, and could only take a mouthful from his hand.
Just then, there was a knock at the door, and a man said, "Overseer, someone wants to see you." Tian Zhaonian was wondering who wanted to see him at night, when he heard a crisp and beautiful voice outside the door, and said, "Overseer, it's me, Xiulian." β
Tian Zhaonian was on the rise, so he asked the people outside to open the door, Xiulian took off her makeup at this time, changed her costume, held a plate in her hand, and walked in, she said with a smile: "This is a muffin cake, I know that the Overseer tasted good last time, just to give you a snack." Tian Zhaonian smiled and said, "You have a heart." Come, Lao Ying, you taste. Xiulian put the plate on the table and said busily: "Yes, Master Jun, you try to see if it suits your taste." β
Tian Zhaonian took a piece and ate it, Ying Shuhe ate it in his mouth, nodded and praised it again and again: "It's good, I don't know which shop bought it?"
Xiulian smiled and said, "You can't buy it outside." This is made by the chef in our theater, if you like it, as long as you come to listen to the play, you can taste it every time. β
Ying Shuhe suddenly smiled at Tian Zhaonian and said: "No wonder you love to come here, it turns out that not only is the drama here good, the people are good, and the food is also so good, but I am reluctant to leave." β
Tian Zhaonian grabbed his words and said straightly: "This is what you said, if you quit your current errand and join me, I don't care about you if you take this home." β
Ying Shuhe was afraid that he would tell the truth, so he smiled silently and took a piece of cake and ate it. Tian Zhaonian said to Xiulian who was standing aside: "Xiulian, can you guess what position he is?" Xiulian shook her head and smiled: "Didn't you say that you were an instructor at the military academy?"
Tian Zhaonian only said: "That's right, but his real military rank is colonel." β
Xiulian's eyes widened unexpectedly, looking at Ying Shuhe, who was originally a little drunk, but now she wiped her face, and saw Tian Zhaonian so unrestrained and said, "Just your mouth!"
Xiulian didn't slow down, and after a while she reacted and stepped forward and said, "What a blessing am I to meet the Overseers in this life, and I have the honor to meet you today, no, I have to respect you for this glass of wine." Xiulian's glass of wine came unexpectedly, and it was not appropriate for Shu He to accept it or not, so he had to pour a glass of wine and drink it.
I didn't know that there was a play behind Tian Zhaonian, and asked her: "Did you hear the sound of singing in our house just now, this is the colonel singing." β
Ying Shuhe scolded. Xiulian drank a glass of wine and said, "So this is what you sang?" I thought it was a famous singer here who was here, so I didn't dare to come in, so I didn't dare to knock on the door when there was no movement here. As soon as the words fell, Xiulian stepped forward and gave a half-salute, and only said: "Xiulian has only been in this business for four years, and I will ask the colonel to give me more guidance as a newborn in the future." β
Tian Zhaonian took a wait-and-see state, but when Shu He saw Xiulian half-saluted in front of him, he hurriedly went up to help her up, and only said: "Don't listen to this old thief lift me up, I will only sing blindly." However, the "Resurrection" that I just listened to you sing on stage is far-reaching, and the tone is beautiful. With that, he put the glass on the table.
Tian Zhaonian said at this time: "Our Xiulian is already popular, isn't it?
Xiulian lowered her head and was shy, Ying Shuhe was a little displeased: "It's all your blind coaxing." Then he returned to his seat.
Tian Zhaonian spread his hands and said, "How can I make a fool of myself? I'm just telling the truth." Moreover, I don't know how many people like Xiulian come to see her, and they can't see her. I'm kind, seeing that both of you can sing, are you interested...... Anyway, one is unmarried, the other is unmarriedβ"
Ying Shuhe said: "Lao Tian! The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes. He stopped him from continuing.
Seeing the situation, Xiulian wanted to leave, but later heard Tian Zhaonian say that "one is unmarried and the other is unmarried", I don't know why my face is red and my ears are hot, and she went out without even saying a parting word.
Tian Zhaonian saw Xiulian walk away without saying hello, raised his eyebrows and pointed to the door: "Look, what a good opportunity, you are not interested." β
Ying Shuhe yelled at him: "Go!" and then casually picked up chopsticks to cover up the dishes in front of him.
Tian Zhaonian saw his expression, but still didn't give up, and leaned over to him and said, "You think about it, anyway, you've been alone for half your life......"
Speaking of this, Ying Shuhe paused, looked at a certain place in front of him and said: "Our family has ancestral teachings, and we are only allowed to marry girls from serious families, and we are not allowed to marry home." β
Tian Zhaonian returned to his seat and said silently: "Then I didn't see you marry a serious girl back." β
Ying Shuhe Zhengse said: "Go! It's not early, and the food is almost over, if there is nothing to say, we will go back." β
After a while, Tian Zhaonian said: "Then I'll talk to you seriously." β
Ying Shuhe was drinking tea and rinsing his mouth, as soon as he said this, he unconsciously muttered in his heart, and after a long time, he saw Tian Zhaonian holding something in his hand and scattering it on the table. Those few things fell on the table one by one, Ying Shuhe looked up at the things on the table, and then at Tian Zhaonian, and suddenly frowned: "What do you mean?"
Tian Zhaonian said: "This was found at a nearby train station where the attack on the embassy took place last night. Ying Shuhe didn't speak, and listened to Tian Zhaonian continue. Tian Zhaonian held a bullet casing between his fingers and said: "The railway station is supervised by the North District, and these are all taken from the dead foreign soldiers - the foreigners are also ruthless, and they don't even let go of the dead brothers in order to find the assassin." β
In the light, the bullets were still stained with blood. Tian Zhaonian said by the light: "If it is an outsider, it may not be able to see anything, but I know these bullets as soon as I see them, your two guns are specially commissioned to be made in Germany, and the bullets are also special - but it is such a special place, if you have the heart to check, can you still escape?"
Ying Shuhe's eyes suddenly sharpened, Tian Zhaonian put the bullet back on the table, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and then said to Shu He with a smile: "We are brothers, I won't sell you, take back the "evidence". β
Ying Shuhe did not relax at all, and said vigilantly: "You must have some intentions." β
Tian Zhaonian glared at him, and only said, "How can you think of me like this?"
Ying Shuhe was crisp and neat: "Say." β
Tian Zhaonian wanted to toast him with a glass of wine, but Ying Shuhe was like a tiger serving a wolf, and he didn't move his hand. Tian Zhaonian was bored and finished drinking by himself, and finally said lightly: "The person you saved last night, I want it." β
Ying Shuhe said: "What person?"
Tian Zhaonian said: "Don't pretend to be stupid. Regardless of whether that person is real or your nephew is fake, let him follow me and help me do things, and I will definitely not treat him badly. β
Ying Shuhe suddenly understood, slapped the table and stood up, although the table was sturdy, the plate on the table hit the plate and jumped up, he couldn't hide his anger and said, "You sent someone to the hospital!"
Tian Zhaonian was not shocked, and he said: "Didn't you say that he is your nephew? I sent someone to visit what's wrong? He doesn't seem to be injured, is he sick?"
Ying Shuhe said: "Gastrointestinal disease - what do you care?"
Tian Zhaonian stood up with a smile and said, "His life is quite big, and the rain of bullets and bullets didn't hurt a single hair of him." β
Ying Shuhe snorted: "That's when I went-" He quickly stopped his mouth. I only heard Tian Zhaonian laugh twice, and he cursed secretly.
Tian Zhaonian turned around and said: "What I need is such a person, who has a big life, and just happens to be under my hands." β
Ying Shuhe took two steps forward and said resolutely: "No." β
Tian Zhaonian's smile retracted, and his eyes showed fierceness. Ying Shuhe had no choice but to say: "I'll be honest with you, he is the son of an old friend of mine...... They entrusted me with people, and I had to take care of them, and I had planned to let him go home when he graduated. β
Tian Zhaonian said: "Where is his home?"
Ying Shuhe blurted out: "It's not from here, it's from Fulin, and his family is solid, and his family won't let him take risks here." β
He originally wanted to persuade Tian Zhaonian with good words, but Tian Zhaonian snorted coldly: "Then why did you let him enter the military academy in the first place?"
Ying Shuhe swallowed his saliva, the wine he had drunk just now woke up, he was speechless for a while, Tian Zhaonian put on his coat, and he hurriedly said: "If you want others to use it for you, you have to be agreed by others, otherwise you are not afraid that he will hold you back?"
Tian Zhaonian paused for what he was doing, lowered his eyes and thought for a long time, and finally nodded and said, "Yes, then I'll ask in person." β
That night, when Shuhe and Tian Zhaonian were separated, he strode into the hospital, dusty, completely ignoring the cold wind of the night and blowing his hair to the back.
As soon as he opened the door of the ward, he was relieved to see the person lying on the bed peacefully, and then a wave of anxiety and worry came up, he checked the door to see if there were any suspicious people at both ends of the corridor, and it was already the second half of the night, only the nurse on duty gently closed the door.
The window was not closed tightly, the blowing white curtains floated up, he locked the window, and when he turned around, he saw the moonlight spilling into the room, just shining on the young man on the bed, the resolute side face, but the face was thin, and the eyebrows seemed to be pulled by a rope, and he couldn't stretch it.
He sighed to himself, and suddenly heard the person on the bed say, "Father...... Mother...... Eldest brother...... Jianghai ......"
Ying Shuhe was iron-boned and soft-hearted, and he couldn't bear to disturb him at this time, and after thinking about it, he walked out again.
He lit a cigarette on the bench outside, and the cool breeze came and went, so the smoke burned quickly, and the cigarette burned his hands before he knew it. He stood up and went to the phone booth to dial the phone, but no one answered, so he returned to the ward.
In the quiet corridor of the hospital, the doors of the wards were closed, and for a while I only heard the sound of my own leather shoes sounding in the corridor. Ying Shuhe pushed the door in, and saw that the small light was on in the room, and Chen Yeping was still sleeping on the bed, thinking that he had just gotten up for the night. He walked to the window, and within a while, someone called, "Instructorβ"
Ying Shuhe turned around, Chen Yeping turned his face to look at him, and he stepped forward: "Are you awake?"
Chen Yeping shook his head and whispered, "It's your shadow that is blocking me." β
Ying Shuhe was speechless, but he was suddenly relieved to see that he could still joke with himself.
Chen Yeping continued: "A few people came in just nowβ"
Ying Shuhe nodded and stopped him, "I know." After walking around the room a few times, he walked up to the side and said, "I'm your instructor, you have to listen to me." He propped his hands on the edge of the bed, his eyes were determined, Chen Yeping didn't interject, and listened to him continue: "You have to remember what I said next, and do as I sayββ"
