Old Shadows of the Republic of China (21)

The six-dollar bottle of 'Axe' brand three-star brandy, with Chinese food, is actually a bit strange. And when you look at the intervals between the drinks, the thick 'Solik' cigarettes that these men are holding in their hands, the feeling is even more pronounced. However, at the moment, a table can be exchanged for a reward of 200 yuan, which proves that this is a top-notch table equipment.

As he spoke, the door to the box was pushed open. A lean man in a robe and a civilized stick walked in, looked at Chen Ting's side, and arched his hand: "Oh! It's late, it's late." Brother Chen, don't blame. ”

Chen Ting's face instantly bloomed, and he got up to greet him: "If you can come, you can enjoy your face, please come inside." I'm going to ask someone to reorganize the table. "It's very face-saving.

The man waved his hand: "I can't hide it, I can't get out of it today, I came here after having dinner with a friend." Your dude has a post, saying that you have to make a trip. "It's very polite, but what it means to arrive late, Lin Yutong probably figured it out. I had to give Chen Ting face, but I didn't want to socialize with the other guests who came this time, so I avoided the late time and the banquet, and only came now.

Sure enough, Chen Ting smiled and asked this person to go to the narrow kang on the other side. This narrow kang is called by Lin Yutong because he thinks the kang is narrow, but in fact, people have an exclusive name, called Yankang.

Chen Ting didn't know what to say to the man over there, so both of them looked at the fourth master, and Chen Ting beckoned the fourth master over. The fourth master got up, but pressed Lin Yutong's hand and gestured a few times. Lin Yutong nodded slightly, only holding chopsticks to pick up vegetables to eat, but his eyes were paying attention to that side.

Seeing that Chen Ting was pulling the fourth master to do it on the kang with him, the fourth master waved his hand and sat on the chair on the side. And Chen Ting was on the kang with the chimney, and the man was also across from him. It didn't take much effort, there were several eleven or twelve-year-old girls coming in the private room, Lin Yutong thought it was a little girl who was waiting, but then he felt that it was wrong, these children from the way they walked to the expressions on their faces were not what ordinary little girls should have. When I saw them smiling and crawling beside the guest, like a group of monkeys entwined, some knocked on the back, some beat the legs, some pinched the feet, and the crisp laughter and the laughter of the men kept coming. Only then did Lin Yutong know that these little girls were the little gentlemen in the book, that is, the young prostitutes. She was disgusted in her heart, and looked at this person, not knowing who she was, but looking closely at what he was wearing, she should be considered a rich man. I also saw that he didn't know when the coat outside was taken off, and he was only wearing a plaid spun silk top and bottom inside, a diamond ring on his right finger, and a jade ring on his left finger. This dress looks really familiar, and after a closer look, Chen Ting, along with the guests at the table behind him, also have rings on their hands, but they are just of different colors. She suddenly realized that such a dress is also a symbol of identity and worth.

"Little brother hasn't been here, has he?" came the thrush's voice, and I don't know when she sat down beside her quietly. Lin Yutong ignored her, and only smiled embarrassedly. This woman's methods are really good, just now seeing that Ma Xiang was still quite sober, she only worked hard for a while, and she drunk Ma Xiang.

Thrush saw that he was looking at the other side, so he smiled and said, "You don't know that guest, she's a regular visitor to our place." ”

Lin Yutong turned his head and asked, "Then why don't you go over to serve?"

"Feng Gaoshen only likes ...... Younger, this ...... You know?" said the thrush, covering her mouth and laughing.

Lin Yutong glanced at the little girls, and naturally understood what she meant by this. But he pretended to be stupid and said, "What is Gao Shen?"

The thrush smiled again: "Gao Shen...... It's the staff, it's the master......"

"Whose master is so powerful?" Lin Yutong pretended to be stupid and asked again.

The thrush was just about to speak, as if he remembered that something was wrong, he smiled, and poured wine for Lin Yutong with a wine jug: "I really don't know this." ”

It's not convenient for her to say.

The fourth master revealed the intention of getting rid of Chen Ting before, and when he left just now, he told himself not to worry, does that mean that he also wants to find out the origin of this person.

Now that I know that this man is a regular visitor here, this is a good thing to do.

She took her glass and drank it, ignoring the awkwardness of the whiskey being poured from the jug to the glass, and then turned to the thrush and asked, "I want to go out conveniently, do you want to go downstairs?"

The thrush laughed twice: "Yes! "That's where people go, in fact, there is a toilet behind this screen, and there is a bucket in it, and there is a special person to deal with it. But this young man is rustic, and she will go out with a word.

That's the right thing to do.

Lin Yutong got up, and the fourth master looked over. She gestured to the fourth master, and when she saw the fourth master nodding, she got up and went out. Obviously, Chen Ting is very cautious. I want the fourth master to know that the background behind him is deep, and I don't want the fourth master to cross him and climb the high branches and finally throw him away. Therefore, he must not have introduced this person to the fourth master, which shows how well he guarded.

When I came out of the house, I felt that the air was fresh. If you stand in the hallway on the second floor, you can see the lobby on the first floor. Three or five people sat at each square table, each sitting or leaning against a woman. It's early spring, and it's still a little cold. This woman didn't hold a fan, but everyone had a handkerchief in their hands, and there were all kinds of things. Every time it waved, there seemed to be a dark fragrance floating. No wonder the men love it here. The atmosphere here is really easy to forget.

She was about to go downstairs and find someone to casually inquire about the so-called regular. As soon as he raised his leg to leave, he saw a person coming up the stairs, it was Xiao Hong.

Her expression moved, and she took out two dollars in her hand. There were people running back and forth in the hall, guests coming in and out, and women rushing to the scene. Lin Yutong stood here, and no one cared who brought the little guy from who's house. Waiting for Xiao Hong to pass by Lin Yutong's side, Lin Yutong bent down and wanted to pick up the money with a look, "...... Big sister, your money is gone. ”

As he spoke, he straightened up and handed over the money.

Xiao Hong turned back by inertia, she didn't know who this 'eldest sister' was calling. But when she saw that Lin Yutong was holding two yuan in her hand and saw that it was indeed herself, she was a little stunned. You will definitely not bring money with you in your own hall. She looked left and right, and quickly grabbed Lin Yutong's hand, so that the money would not be exposed: "Little brother, you can't be too honest." The money is yours to pick up, and it's yours. Don't say that you didn't see the donor, you just saw who dropped the money, you just picked it up and didn't make a noise. Now in this world, you should be a good person and you will be stupid......"

Lin Yutong said in her heart, doesn't this girl understand it in her heart?

But before she could speak, the short and fat woman in the room came out, and when she saw the two of them holding hands, her eyebrows immediately stood up, and she walked over in three or two steps, her face was annoyed, but she could suppress her temper, and said to Lin Yutong: "Little brother, in our place, that girl has no reason to accompany people in vain." Even if you say a word, hold a hand......" his eyes looked at the hands of the two of them, and the implication was very obvious, "It costs money." ”

Lin Yutong broke free and revealed two yuan.

This family immediately smiled, and as soon as he reached out to take it, Xiao Hong blocked it, "Mom, this little brother wants me to accompany her, I really don't have the energy, so I asked him to come another day." As he spoke, he motioned to Lin Yutong to quickly put away the money.

"You fart ......" called the Ben family to change the nature of the old bustard, she lowered her voice for fear of alarming the other guests, the words seemed to come out of the gap between her teeth, with a bit of gnashing of teeth: "How long have you not picked up customers? ”

Lin Yutong hurriedly stuffed the money over: "Okay, this sister belongs to me tonight." ”

The fat face of the family showed a smile like a sunflower, "Okay! Okay!" grabbed the money, and then threatened Xiao Hong with his eyes, "If you don't serve well, I'll pick your skin." ”

Xiao Hong's handkerchief was clenched tightly, and she reluctantly took Lin Yu to her room. The room was small, with a large bed and pink curtains, a dresser on one side and a basin stand on the other. Then there is a round table and a few round stools, a set of tea sets on the round table, and nothing else.

Seeing Lin Yutong stunned, Xiao Hong unbuttoned her clothes, without the slightest expression on her face, as if she had suddenly become a walking corpse. Lin Yutong waved his hand, "Eldest sister, what are you doing." I'm just talking to you. ”

Xiao Hong was stunned, "Don't go to bed?"

These words, coupled with the groaning sound coming from next door on both sides, are too ambiguous. Lin Yutong didn't want to delay time, he just wanted to quickly find out what he wanted to know, so he said: "The money is not mine, if these two yuan make the eldest sister's life better these days, it will be worth it." If you feel like you're having a hard time, I'm going to have something to ask you about. ”

"You say. Xiao Hong buttoned the button and pointed outside, "There is nothing in this hall that I don't know." ”

Lin Yutong smiled: "I heard someone called Gao Shen just now, but in a blink of an eye, no one was gone." I just wanted to ask...... I have a fellow villager named Gao Shen, he has been out for many years, there has been no news of him at home, and his wife is crying blind and only looks forward to her son's return. I just wanted to ask, what if it was. ”

"The little brother is really warm-hearted. Xiao Hong relaxed suddenly, "The high ginseng you are talking about is not called high ginseng." He was a staff member of Commander Liu of the military department, and he had been in the capital for half a year, so he didn't know what kind of business he had. The senior staff member of the family is similar to the official title, which means a senior staff officer. ”

Commander Liu of the Military Department.

Lin Yutong wrote down the name. He didn't speak, just listened to Xiao Hong say, "This Feng Gaoshen will come over every day or two, he likes that group of little girls, and he doesn't ask the girls in the hall to serve him when he is free." Unless you're entertaining guests. He doesn't drink well, but he smokes, not a good cigarette. It would be nice if there was 'horseshoe smoke'. We usually get any cigarette here, so she often comes. ”

The so-called "horseshoe soil", that is, the shape is like the horse's hooves, is the highest grade tobacco soil produced in India, today's price, about one or two horseshoe soil is equal to five taels of silver, not rich that is absolutely unaffordable, and the production is not much, the scarcity is expensive, this value is not so raised.

She was also curious about this thing in Shanghai before, and she also inquired about it. After all, the book is not so detailed. In addition, many literati and scholars now smoke it, because it is not prohibited, and opium smoke is also on sale. Lin Yutong didn't know about selling this thing in the capital. I only know that one of the most famous tobacco wholesalers in Shanghai is "Zheng Qia Kee", and the largest retail is "Lao Yanling" on the stone road, which has a wide shop like a bank and a wide mahogany counter at the door. Of course, there were one or two small retail shops on every street, and the most popular thing was smoke, and each small jar was two cents, and the net weight of opium in it was one penny. There is also a kind of "public cigarette" from Xiangjiang, which is made of brass in small boxes, each box is also a small ocean two corners, the same price, but the weight is only half a penny. Some literati gatherings, night after night full of friends, a bowl has to burn several boxes. However, compared to the 'horseshoe soil', the price is really very common to the common people.

Although there is a difference in prices between the two places, it is impossible to think of a big yard. This Xianle Building, everything is the best, no wonder the guests are coming.

After talking for a while, he inquired about everything he could, and then got up, "Then I won't bother." ”

Say go, go.

Xiao Hong was embarrassed: "Don't spend money next time, come over if you want to talk to me." ”

Lin Yutong answered, came out of this room, and when he returned to the box over there, he saw Chen Ting pulling this Feng Gaoshen to say something to the fourth master.

When the fourth master saw Lin Yutong coming back, he blinked his eyes slightly, which meant that if he had the opportunity, he could do it.

If you want these two people to die, you can't get contaminated with yourself, let alone let people die on the spot, which still requires some skills.

A Xu Lihua who died inexplicably is eye-catching enough, and the deaths of these two people cannot be made similar to the death of that woman. Therefore, this medicine should be used with caution.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Lin Yutong retreated again. Seeing that two girls were about to enter the house with cigarette guns and other things, her heart moved, and she stretched out her hand to stop her: "What are you doing?"

The girl in front rolled her eyes: "Blind?"

Lin Yutong looked at the tray: "It's not good, our master doesn't need it." ”

"Good horseshoe smoke, look at it. The girl in the back snorted, "Have you seen you?"

Lin Yutong opened the small lid, flicked his fingernails in, and closed it again, "It's really a good thing." Let's go inside. ”

As he spoke, he let the two girls in, and he followed in and nodded to the fourth master.

Chen Ting warmly invited the fourth master to smoke, and the fourth master got up to say goodbye.

The Feng Shen general followed and was about to get up, but the jingle in the pocket rang. When he took it out, Lin Yutong understood that this was a "spring watch", that is, a famous watch for the morning report, every hour, it would automatically tell the time, this thing Lin Yutong really saw for the first time. Maybe Lin Yutong's gaze was too hot, this Feng Shen General laughed, and said very ostentatiously: "Why don't you take a look?" Lin Yutong glanced at the fourth master, and the fourth master shook his head, "A young man, he doesn't have much knowledge, and he smiled." ”

"It's okay! It's okay!" The surnamed Feng turned his face to look at Lin Yutong: "Since you are happy, I will give it to you with the jade terrier." ”

What is the Emerald Terrier?

When I took it over, I found that there were two jade vertical stalks dragged under the watch, which were the brand of the watch, and the words on it were engraved on it, transliterated as "Hamilton". Lin Yutong heard Lei Yangyang say that this is the most famous watch today.

Obviously not! This person is trying to win over the fourth master.

The fourth master waved his hand again and again: "You can't accept it if you have no merit, and you don't dare to accept it." ”

"You and my brother are polite. He smiled, "Gai Ming'er will post another post for my brother." ”

The fourth master responded, and then took Lin Yutong out.

I looked at my watch downstairs, and it was past ten o'clock in the evening. But there are still customers coming in one after another, and there are still many stalls selling snacks parked outside, and the rickshaw drivers are staying in this area one by one, and they should not starve to death.

Two rickshaws, pulled directly to the school gate. At this time, there was no one in the school except for the students reading under the street lamp. The two passed by quietly and followed back to the tube building.

"Ho! Lin Yutong raised his arm and sniffed his sleeve, "Quickly take off your clothes and take a shower." ”

As he spoke, he removed the large wooden barrel and filled it with hot water. Then I went inside to take a bath. After changing his clothes and coming out, the fourth master had already washed and lay down on the bed. She packed the barrel in, and then got under the covers.

"Is it done?" the fourth master took the handkerchief in her hand and dried her hair.

Lin Yutong said 'um': "I just happened to meet the two girls who delivered cigarettes, and gave the boiled cigarettes a little material to the family." It can stimulate the medicinal properties to the greatest extent. ”

Raw smoke can only be smoked after boiling, and when it comes out, it becomes a paste. I can't see it when I add something. It doesn't matter if you smoke a little, but after inducing the medicinal properties, you will be poisoned. The consequence of an overdose is death. When people really die, who can rely on this? There are smokers who smoke and die every day, and there are quite a few of them.

The fourth master nodded: "That's good." ”

"What's the matter? Neither of these two people is appropriate?" Lin Yutong hurriedly asked.

"These two people persuaded me to go to Liaodong, saying that the factories there were all ready-made, and I could do it if I went. The fourth master sneered, "This is treating me like a nerd." ”

Liaodong is now the territory of the Wa Kingdom, do you still not understand the meaning of going there to work?

Death is too good for him!

"I inquired, and it was said that this surname Feng was a senior staff member of Commander Liu of the Military Department, could it be that this commander also ......" Lin Yutong shook his head next, "It shouldn't be." ”

"The person surnamed Feng has been in the capital for half a year, and he is not in Jinling, so he says that he has an errand, but how can a person with an errand soak in the hall and not come out? ”

That's good!

After a few words of gossip, Lin Yutong asked about the smoking ban again: "...... The ban on smoking at the end of the Qing Dynasty still had some results, but now, the momentum is getting stronger and stronger. You see, even the teahouses, restaurants, and bathhouses have special smoke houses. It seems that where there is a toilet, there is a smoke house, which is worth it. It's all a necessity of life. I went out a few times, and I saw people on the road asking for food, and I don't know how I became addicts. You say the way of this world...... No matter how loud the slogan is, but who really cares. ”

It's the same thing, if the tobacco seller is caught, he will be shot. But Huaizi is at the police station, and they know this best. Once caught, the person is put back, but the thing is confiscated. Where did the confiscated thing go? It wasn't taken out by the people above and handed over to the tobacco and soil restaurant. The head of the police station, in these shops selling tobacco and soil, all own the shares, and eat the dry shares! This is a tacit thing for everyone.

The fourth master wiped Lin Yutong's hair one by one, "It's all good now." The Labour Party campaigned for this before the week, and then came up with the current anti-smoking policy. In the past, the so-called ban on smoking became a distinction between the private and state-owned cigarette dealers, and as long as they could collect taxes, they would sell them! Don't grow food and grow poppy, it's just driven by profits. Nowadays, it is easy to make the right policy, but the execution is not good! This is not something that can be done by one person. ”

As he spoke, he fell asleep in a daze. The next day, the two went to class as usual and didn't inquire about Xianle Building. Anyway, whether it succeeds or not, it is most correct not to inquire.

But the fourth master and Lin Yutong didn't go to inquire, but someone sent news to the door.

As soon as Lin Yutong brought lunch to the table, there was a knock on the door, "Brother, come in." "Why is this point here?

Huaizi came in and asked, "Where is my brother-in-law?"

The fourth master came out of the study: "Big brother is here, sit down." Let's not eat yet, together. ”

Lin Yutong went to the kitchen to get an extra pair of chopsticks. The two usually eat simply, and one soup for two dishes is enough. The locust is here, and it's too shabby.

"Do you have any wine?" asked Huaizi directly, "I want to have a drink with my brother-in-law." ”

Drinking at noon?

Lin Yutong was puzzled, but still nodded: "I'll get it." ”

Brought the wine out to the two of them, and then went back to the kitchen to fry peanuts and cut a piece of sauce elbow. She was busy working inside, and she could faintly hear Huaizi's voice in a lowered voice: "...... Brother-in-law, to be honest, my sister really didn't insult you. This man, he doesn't care about being curious outside, but he still has to hold on. What I hate the most in my life is that my father went to the kiln and looked for the kiln, and in the end, his wife was separated ......"

Lin Yutong suddenly realized that the fourth master went to Xianle Building last night and was known by Huaizi. It seems right to think about it, Huaizi seems to be very familiar with the servants who run errands inside, and those guys have never seen the fourth master. Therefore, the brother-in-law went to a place where he shouldn't go, and the brother-in-law knew about it in one night's work. Now that I came over, I came out to warn the fourth master.

She brought the dishes out, and the fourth master looked at Lin Yutong, as if asking Lin Yutong to come forward to explain.

Lin Yutong laughed dryly, and whispered in Huaizi's ear.

Immediately after Huaizi's face changed, "The two ...... who died last night have something to do with you?"

Otherwise, why would you take Lin Yutong with you?

The fourth master didn't deny it, "Are they all dead?"

"Dead. The half-confused energy brought by the few sips of wine that Huaizi drank before was also gone all of a sudden, "In the middle of the night last year, the whole person smoked over." I didn't wait for the ambulance to come, and I was all dying. I heard that it was a lot of smoking. If it weren't for his sister-in-law, he wouldn't have been able to connect the two. Therefore, the symptoms of the two people who heard about it were exactly the same as those who smoked too much.

Lin Yutong served dinner to the two, but glanced at the fourth master.

This matter of killing people at every turn, I still have to explain it to Huaizi.

The fourth master didn't hide it, and said it carefully. Huaizi was stunned: "There are so many things I don't know?!"

I was very surprised.

"What can I do?" he turned his head around, "since what you're studying is so important, is this place safe?" Our Lin family's young and middle-aged people add up, hundreds of people, and you live in the third entry, which is the most central position, and it is absolutely safe. Guarantee that not a single fly will fly in. ”

The fourth master waved his hand: "That's not necessary." So be it for now. Now there is no result at all, and it is too early to say anything. ”

It's not that there are no results at all, but that these achievements are still a long way to go if they want to be translated into real things. No factory, no machine, no talent. Nothing to ask for. Let's start with talent.

When Huaizi left, he said that he would arrange a few brothers near the school to reassure them.

Sure enough, within two days, there was a braised meat seller outside the school, and it was produced by the Lin family as soon as I ate it. This thing is not expensive, and the students occasionally buy it, and seeing that the business is not bad, there are a few rickshaws pulling them, and they are parked nearby. If they want to come to the school and make a mess, they can rush in.

The fourth master told Lin Yutong: "Looking at the monthly subsidies for these people, we can't let people stand guard for us." ”

Lin Yutong thought the same way. Giving them three dollars a month plus a bag of flour is definitely not a small amount.

When he went to the office this day, Lin Yutong always felt that there was a line of sight looking at him, and when he looked up, he met Ouyang Yiyi's line of sight.

"Something?" Lin Yutong asked with an eyebrow.

Ouyang Yiyi smiled and shook his head. turned his face to talk to Gao Han. Ma Xiang spoke twice, but Ouyang didn't pay attention to them one by one, "Sister Ouyang, do you have any opinions about me?"

"Where do you start with this?" Ouyang Yiyi looked very cold, "I don't like those people who look like righteous gentlemen, but in fact they are dirtier than anyone else. ”

Ma Xiang couldn't hold back his face, and stood up: "What do you mean by this? Who are you insinuating about? Why am I not a righteous gentleman?"

"Would a righteous gentleman go to a place like Xianle Tower?" she said, her tone was still a little choked, as if Ma Xiang was a negative man and had failed her.

Lin Yutong continued to write with the pen in his hand without pausing at all. When she looked over, she was prepared, knowing that this woman was not so easy to handle. Now that I am mentioning Xianle Lou again, I don't know what it means.

Ma Xiang's anger just now was extinguished by Ouyang Yiyi's tearful eyes, he didn't know how to explain, he suddenly remembered something, and looked at Lin Yutong: "It's not necessarily a bad thing to go to Xianle Building, and Mr. Lin's husband who went with me that day was also invited to go." We all came back early. ”

Ouyang looked at Lin Yutong: "Mr. Lin, is that so?"

Lin Yutong looked confused, and it took a long time before he suddenly realized: "No wonder he came back that night and was annoyed, saying that he was deceived." I didn't understand what he meant, and when I asked him, he didn't say, it turned out that Xianle Lou wasn't listening to a play? ”

That's what I said!

Ma Xiang nodded again and again: "Yes! Yes, I thought I was going to the play." When we got to the place, we had a meal and played two rounds of cards. Later......"

Ouyang looked at Ma Xiang with a smile: "Later, you dragged a woman named Xiao Hong to spend the night inside!"

"I was drinking too much. Ma Xiang cursed and swore an oath, "I really drank too much." If you don't believe me, you can ask Mr. Kim. ”

"Don't pull my husband, it's just after half past ten when he gets home. Lin Yutong was immediately unhappy, "Don't rely on my husband's reputation, this janitor can prove it." ”

Ouyang Yiyi's eyes narrowed, according to this time, that is to say, when Jin Siye came out of Xianle Building, it was around ten o'clock. But Chen Ting died at two o'clock in the morning. Even if I smoked tobacco at the time, I wouldn't have had a seizure until the wee hours of the morning. Then there is only one possibility, around twelve o'clock, someone half-tempted him to smoke again. When people are in the fantasy world, they are likely to be misled. Or, around this point in time, what is eaten and drunk is fed into the house, and of course, it is possible that the spices are lit. But this at least excludes Jin Siye's suspicion.

She has not been in contact with Chen Ting for a long time, but she still has a certain understanding. For smoking that thing, Chen Ting is very self-controlled. That's a man who lives hard. How about the other surname Feng, she said it badly, but Chen Ting ...... The likelihood of active vaping is almost non-existent.

If you follow this idea, things are not so simple. What is the purpose of harming Chen Ting? It doesn't make sense! After all, even Chen Ting doesn't know the details of himself.

It seems that this has really become a headless case!

She was a little annoyed, but she didn't show it, and only snorted coldly at Ma Xiang: "You...... Don't look for me in the future, and don't call me. Don't think I don't know, last night's sister didn't want to, you had to pull others and not let go......"

Lin Yutong looked at Ouyang Yiyi in surprise: "How did Mr. Ouyang know?"

The other people in the office who had watched the play for a long time immediately looked at Ouyang one by one. yes! How do you know that kind of place? And you know so much about it!

Ouyang paused for a moment before saying, "My brother is in the police department, and there was a murder last night, and they were the ones who handled it." I've seen all those transcripts. ”

Lin Yutong got a piece of information from here that someone in the police station had been in contact with Ouyang Yiyi's side. Even if this person doesn't know that he is in contact with a Japanese person, with this clue, he can find this person who has a relationship with the police station, and then find their lair.

She was thinking so in her heart, but there was a little envy on her face: "Sister Ouyang is really powerful, it seems that we have to stammer with you." This will be useful to you in the future, don't refuse. ”

As soon as he said this, several people laughed. You say three words, and he is close to the other party in two words.

She actually tried to follow Tian Fang, but as soon as she went out, Lin Yutong knew that this method would not work, as long as Tian Fang was out of school, there were always three or five people who followed her before and after. And she goes out regularly, and those people come to pick her up regularly when they want to. So, after trying it once, but seeing that it was really not feasible, she immediately gave up and went to another place. Don't dare to arouse the alarm of the other party. If you can start with the police station, it will be great. At least it can't involve himself and the fourth master. In addition, I'm afraid that I can't ask Huaizi to interfere.

Because of this in his heart, this weekend, the fourth master and Lin Yutong went back to the small courtyard of the Lin family together. When they got home, it was dark, and seeing that Huaizi hadn't come back yet, the two closed the door, and Ming'er said the same.

The fourth master stood under the porch and said to a locust seedling growing in the middle of the yard: "Why don't you cut this thing?"

Lin Yutong leaned over to take a look. "Oh, it's really a locust tree. I didn't know what kind of tree it was, but now that the leaves have grown, I can see it. "The yard is level, this should be the old roots that were planted under the ground before.

The fourth master immediately stretched out his hand: "Give me a shovel." It's too bad to grow in the yard. ”

"Then you have to □□ even the old roots. Lin Yutong handed over the shovel and turned on the flashlight to illuminate, "How deep does this have to be dug!" Looking at the smoothness of the yard, why haven't you seen germination before? Thinking about it, this dead wood in spring may not be a good thing.

The fourth master buried his head in digging him: "No matter how deep it is, you have to dig it." ”

"Why don't I call Yang Zi to come over and help?" Lin Yutong said and was about to get up.

But who knew that as soon as he put the flashlight on the side, he heard a 'crisp sound', and the shovel touched something, and it was still a hard thing.

She hurriedly flashed the flashlight, "There are stones?"

The fourth master squatted down and stretched out his hand to pull a few times, "No! It seems to be a water tank." ”
