Chapter 9 Whatever happens, don't care
No. 19 Jingshan Road, the Lin family's mansion.
Although she went to ask Lin Wanjing to save people early in the morning, but now that she is close to the afternoon tea, Lin Wanjing has not come back for a long time, and the third aunt really can't sit still, like ants on the hot pot, she has walked inside and out several times.
The summer afternoon was already hot and dry, and the third aunt was so anxious, and the patience of the family was at the limit, and everyone was silent with their own thoughts, only listening to the mechanical ticking of the old grandfather clock.
Once again, when she went to the porch to look to no avail, the third aunt hurriedly returned to the living room, muttering "Why haven't you come back" repeatedly, and suddenly fell to Old Man Lin's side like a demon:
"Sir... Did you say that Wan Jing didn't help me save people at all? ”
This is not the first time she has asked this, Old Man Lin obviously doesn't want to deal with her, frowning and closing his eyes. Mo Zhidong came down from the second floor, and happened to hear the third aunt ask like this, and he was unhappy in his heart:
"Third sister, since Wan Jing promised you, she won't break her promise, so you can stop for a while."
"Then why haven't you come back! It's a whole day! The third aunt was too teary-eyed, and suddenly stood up again, "No! I'll have to find her again! What if she didn't go at all?! ”
Saying this, the third aunt went out with too much pose, and happened to collide with the maid who came to the hall to report.
"I'm going to die, I don't have long eyes when I walk!"
"I'm sorry, third wife, the eldest lady and the little master are back!"
As soon as the maid's voice fell, she saw Lin Wanjing and Ah Biao helping Lin Wanjun to the living room. The third aunt was silent for a moment, rushed forward like crazy, and shouted at Lin Wanjing:
"Didn't you go to save people early in the morning! Why is it still beaten like this! ”
Lin Wanjing hadn't spoken yet, but the old man Lin who listened to it said in a deep voice:
"Be content. It's good that people can come out. ”
The old man said so, the third aunt didn't dare to make any more noise, and she felt sorry for her baby son's injury, and she didn't pay attention to the little girl standing on the side, and she was even more angry:
"Still standing like a wood watching a play? The little master is injured like this, why don't you go and ask for a doctor! She turned her eyes, pointed to a handful of maids in the living room, and said, "And you too!" I can't help the little master go back to the room to rest! Raising you for idle food?! ”
The maids were just about to surround him, but when they saw Old Man Lin with a cane, he said sharply: "Who allowed him to go back to the room?" ”
"Master, the children are injured like this, can you ask if you have anything to say about the injury?"
Old Man Lin glared at the third aunt and looked at Lin Wanjun: "Jun'er, you said it yourself, the elders have been waiting for you here for a day, is it appropriate for you to go back to the room without saying a word?" ”
Lin Wanjun was silent for a moment, bowed like everyone in the living room, put aside the third aunt's hand, and limped into the living room alone. Seeing that Lin Wanjun was quite sensible, Old Man Lin was not so strict, and then saw that his white skin was indeed bruised and purple, and he couldn't help but feel distressed:
"Forget it, thank you to your sister and go back to raising it."
Who knew that Lin Wanjun stood with his eyes lowered for a long time, but suddenly sneered:
"Why should I thank her?"
His voice was very low, but the whole family heard it clearly, and Old Man Lin's eyes widened in disbelief:
"Your sister saved you, bastard, if it weren't for her, you wouldn't know how much more you would have to suffer!"
"Rare! Who begged her to save it! Lin Wanjun sneered again, "Why should I be born in this kind of family, so that I am looked down upon in school!" Let me die! ”
"Jun'er, what nonsense are you talking about!" The third aunt was so shocked when she heard this, she hurriedly stopped her son from continuing: "You must have been stimulated today, so you are talking nonsense here, go back to your room and rest!" ”
"It's all your fault!" Lin Wanjun glared at his mother angrily and shouted: "It's all because you didn't leave the card table yesterday, so I couldn't get to the port at the appointed time, and they were arrested!" They're going to die! You killed them! ”
When Lin Wanjing heard this, she thought for a long time before she understood: "Do you really have anything to do with those arsonists?" So, did you really go to the port to pick up? ”
"Or else?" A little lonely climbed up to Lin Wanjun's eyebrows, "After saying that the plan is successful, the organization will accept me as a full member, I will never be looked down upon by my classmates again, and I will become a hero to be worshiped and admired by future generations in the future!" But now it's a failure! Nothing! ”
"What organization?" Lin Wanjing asked, but Lin Wanjun obviously didn't want to answer, and said to herself:
"Before leaving, the life and death certificates have been signed, who has not died since ancient times, and left Dan to take care of his sweat! But now that I'm the only one who comes back alive, what face do I have to face the other classmates! ”
"Why are you doing that?"
"Why?" Lin Wanjun repeated these three words several times and sneered: "They want to assign Funan Port, Kagoshan, and Luwei Island to the Japanese as concessions!" The local residents marched in protest, and the ronin chased and killed the marchers with ***, killing a lot of my classmates, and the blood flowed like a river! This is China! Our land of Chinese, how can we allow those ronin to be presumptuous! ”
"But have you thought about the consequences? How can the diplomacy between the two countries be settled by relying on the courage of the two countries? ”
"Or else?" Lin Wanjun asked rhetorically, but after a while, he said: "Also, you probably won't understand our innocence." Capitalists like you who oppress the working people, it is enough to have money, the safety of the country, and the survival of the nation probably has nothing to do with you. ”
"How can you say such a thing......" Lin Wanjing hurriedly interrupted him, but Lin Wanjun replied in a louder voice:
"Am I wrong? You are a lackey of foreigners, Liu Jin is a big warlord, and our family is the devil who squeezes the blood and sweat of working people! ”
There was a crisp sound of "pop", and a clear palm print immediately appeared on Lin Wanjun's fairly clean face, Lin Wanjing stood in front of him angrily, and the palm that had just fallen was still trembling slightly because of anger.
The third aunt came back to her senses, protected her son behind her, and shouted at Lin Wanjing: "You are not a big or small thing, why did you beat my son!" ”
"Do you know it's your son? Listen to what he says, what kind of bastard he is! You don't care about the, I'll take care of it for you! ”
Lin Wanjing didn't intend to let her, staring at her righteous words. The people on the side saw that this posture was about to fight, and hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade them, and there was chaos in the living room for a while. In the noisy and noisy, the old man Lin who listened to it broke off with a full breath:
"Enough!"
The third aunt was too excited, and hurriedly closed her voice, she stopped shouting, Lin Wanjing naturally didn't make a sound, everyone dispersed, and pointed at Old Man Lin one after another, but saw him gasping for breath again and again, and his fingers trembled and raised to point to Lin Wanjing:
"If I am gone, the house and the land will be left to you. Money, you guys go to the house to divide. ”
Hearing him say this, Mo Zhidong felt inappropriate in his heart, and comforted: "Unprovoked, what unlucky words ...... say"
"You don't care, you don't care!" Old Man Lin waved his hand and pointed at Lin Wanjing again: "Wanjing, from now on, no matter what happens in this family, you don't care, let alone involve the young marshal, understand?" ”
Lin Wanjing pondered this sentence, and intuitively felt that there was something in her father's words, which had a deep meaning, and nodded:
"Understood."
Seeing her nodding, Old Man Lin seemed to be very satisfied, even said a few good words, slowly stood up with a cane and went to the inner room, walked a few steps, and stopped:
"Dong'er, let the account room calculate how much money we have, first divide your little sister's share, let her take her son, go back to her hometown in Nanjing, go to Shanghai, stay abroad or go abroad, let her go."
Looking at her father's lonely back and disappearing at the end of the living room, Lin Wanjing had mixed feelings in her heart, and wanted to catch up with her several times, but she couldn't take a step under her feet as if she had been filled with lead, and in a trance, her mother's gentle voice sounded in her ears:
"Go back, I'll take care of you at home, you don't have to worry."
Lin Wanjing came back to her senses, nodded to her mother in response, she took the bag from the maid's hand and was about to leave, but she felt that the little bag was extremely heavy, and only then did she remember that the deposit given to her by the third aunt in the morning was still in the bag, and the anger that had just been suppressed in her heart rose again. Then he took out the thick silver ticket and slammed it in front of Yourong's mother and son:
"Ming'er went to pay the bail herself. I can't afford to lose that person! ”
"Who are you yelling at?! Are there any rules?! The third aunt suffered a loss, and she was burning in anger and had no place to vent, so she jumped up and yelled at Lin Wanjing. Lin Wanjing ignored her, took her mother and turned away, and gradually left the piercing cry behind.
Under the corridor, Ah Biao had already driven her white car to the door, opened the door and waited, Mo Zhidong sent her to the side of the car, seeing that she seemed to have something on her mind, she hesitated again and again, but still opened her mouth and said with relief:
"Don't take those words to heart, after all, it's your younger brother, who is young and ignorant."
Lin Wanjing shook her head: "It's not like that." Looking at her mother's worried gaze, Lin Wanjing hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Let's get out of here." ”
Mo Zhidong was confused by her unexplained words: "What stupid thing are you talking about, kid?" Where are we going? ”
"I just suddenly have a feeling that if my father is gone one day, there will be nothing left in this family......"
"Who says it's not......" Gloom climbed Mo Zhidong's eyebrows, "But where can we go?" The roots are here......"
Seeing her mother's eyes slightly red, Lin Wanjing felt guilty for a while, she blamed herself for not suddenly mentioning this matter, but she couldn't take back what she said, so she had to hurriedly say:
"Alright, alright. Don't take it to heart when I talk nonsense. I'm going back, and it's going to rain again, so go back and don't stand here. ”
Lin Wanjing sat in the car as if she was running away, and waved her hand at her mother through the window, which urged Ah Biao to drive. As soon as I got out of the cast iron gate of the yard, I saw the black and gray thunderstorm clouds in the sky coming low and low, the electric light was swimming in the clouds, and the thunder exploded.
"Miss, look at this momentum is a storm."
"Hmm......" Lin Wanjing replied in a low voice.
Isn't it, a storm, black clouds overwhelm the city, and she seems to be able to hear Luzhou City struggling and gasping under the black clouds.
"However, storms always come and go quickly, and the weather after the rain must be infinite." Ah Biao said again.
"Really?" Lin Wanjing asked in a low voice, as if she was asking him, and as if she was asking herself. She turned her eyes to the car window, and the wind before the rainstorm shook the phoenix trees on the side of the road, and the phoenix flowers in full bloom fell one after another, like a bright red rain.
After the wind and rain, the scenery is infinite, but how many flowers can be caught in the rain and the sky is clear? Lin Wanjing looked at the flower branches struggling in the wind, as if she was standing on the crumbling branches, watching the wind and rain coming, but she couldn't hide or escape.
