Chapter 178: Helpless to find the owner
Excessive grief and indignation, fatigue and emptiness, and deep injuries, no matter how tough Lin Sheng's body is, he can't stand such a toss, not to mention that he has been lingering in Qinglou Water Village all the year round, and he has already been strong and hard.
Rao is like this, Chen Mushi picked him up, and when he fled into the side hall, Lin Sheng had already woken up, but he was weak and couldn't move at all.
Fortunately, there was no danger, and in the end he survived this catastrophe, but he didn't expect that Huang Xing and the others were going to leave again, and Lin Sheng didn't want to get up.
Because he didn't want to quit with these foreign students.
The so-called seeing things and thinking about people, not to mention that these people are still classmates who get along with his son Lin Wen day and night?
He couldn't accept his son's death, let alone face the parting of these sons' close friends, as if it would arouse his grief again, so he could only pretend to sleep.
But when these students really left, his heart was empty, if these people were still there, at least he still had a thought about his son, but now there is nothing.
People are like this, they will always find their own sustenance, otherwise they will not be able to live this life.
He is not young, he has enjoyed all the blessings he deserves, and he has suffered all the sins he deserves, so it is said that he has no regrets when he dies with his son like this.
But he knew he couldn't die easily.
Because there are still wives and concubines and daughters in the family, there is a dragon chamber of commerce behind him that needs to be managed, and more importantly, his son's revenge, he has not yet avenged!
This kind of obsession supports him to continue to live, so that he can give birth to some vitality, he needs a sustenance, so that in the shortest possible time, he can recover his state, in order to complete those unfinished things with a better attitude.
This sustenance is Chen Mu.
He treats Chen Mu, his godson, really sincerely, and he really treats him as his own, although he can't replace Lin Wen's position in his mind, but it's a comfort.
So, he finally got up and said to Chen Mu.
"Regardless of whether the gods are fighting or the ghosts are fighting, don't go to study for the time being, find a place to recuperate, seize the time to recover, the deed has something for you to do."
Seeing Lin Sheng wake up, Chen Mu was also overjoyed, relieved in his heart, and hurriedly helped Lin Sheng.
"What's the best place to go?"
Lin Sheng looked at Lu Shengwu, took a breath with some difficulty, and then said: "Dao Chief is right, it's not safe here, we must leave quickly, in my humble opinion, there is only one place we can go......
"Dragon Chamber of Commerce?" After all, Lin Sheng is the white paper fan of the Dragon Chamber of Commerce, and now he is the actual person in power, and the Dragon Chamber of Commerce behind him is his lair, and it is the safest place, Chen Muzuo thinks so, and it is also a matter of course.
However, Lin Sheng shook his head and said: "You have also seen it, they can't wait for my life, and before I have enough strength, I can't go back to the Dragon Chamber of Commerce, what I want to say is ......"
Lin Sheng paused, and finally spoke: "It's He Huyong's grange......"
Chen Mu was also stunned, and cast his eyes at Lu Shengwu to ask, and the latter also nodded and said, "Okay, let's go hide for a while." ”
Although He Huyong has been removed, the grange is private property and has not been confiscated, and now he is also at home.
Although he has been removed, He Hu Yonghu's prestige still exists, whether it is the government or the people of the Dragon Chamber of Commerce, they don't dare to trouble him, not to mention, his grange has a generation of grandmaster Lin Fucheng in charge, what other place is safer than there?
Earlier, Chen Mu went to learn art and go to find a backer, although Lin Fucheng taught some kung fu in disguise, he did not respond to Chen Mu positively.
But now it is different, Chen Mu and others are fleeing, He Huyong's real identity is Hongshuntang's Xige Uncle Luo Jianhe, Lin Fucheng has a deep relationship with Dahongmen, and there are all kinds of causes, it is impossible for them to refuse the door and not save them when they die.
Lu Sheng was not verbose, even if he and Sun Youlin and others, protected Chen Mu and Lin Sheng, and came to He Huyong's grange.
It was dark at night, and it was raining, and the lanterns could not be lit, and the group could only grope one foot deeper and one foot shallow.
Thanks to the proximity of this place, the roads are all white or gray-white sandy and alkaline land, and even if it rains, the visibility is very high, but there is no danger of loss.
When approaching the grange, the sand alkali land was gone, and there was gradually farmland on both sides, and it was a rural road such as a ridge, and everyone carried Lin Sheng and Chen Mu, which was really difficult to walk.
Fortunately, everyone is a warrior, and walking at night is not a big problem, but in the end they came to He Huyong's grange.
Knocking on the door in the middle of the night, the inside was also very vigilant, this time not only Deng Zhenhai came out to answer the door, but even He Huyong was wearing clothes, holding an umbrella, holding a lantern, standing under the porch and watching.
Seeing Lu Shengwu and others coming in, He Huyong also frowned.
Lu Shengwu walked forward and looked at He Huyong, who hesitated slightly, and then said to Sun Youlin and the others: "Put it in my room, it will be warmer." ”
Sun Youlin and Chu Tongcheng carried the door panel and entered the room, He Huyong asked Deng Zhenhai to settle down the others, and took dry clothes for everyone to change.
Chen Mu's injuries were not light, he was drenched in the rain and frozen all the way, and his wounds were white, like soaked rotten pork, looking bloodless, it was also scary.
He Huyong is a veteran in the end, after cleaning up, applying a mild medicine powder, and changing into dry and warm clothes, Chen Mu can be regarded as picking up this life.
Although Chen Mu did not follow Yang Dachun's advice and killed Tan Donghua and Qingchang, his actions had spread throughout Xinhui.
He Huyong is what kind of person, although he was removed from his post and was idle at home, he has been paying attention to Chen Mu's every move, and he knows better than others, and seeing Chen Mu's fatal injury at this time is both admiration and distress.
After all these things, he finally recognized Chen Mu.
One of the extremely important reasons is that Chen Mu once asked him a question, is he He Huyong an official or a thief?
Is it the patrol battalion pipe belt, or the West Pavilion Uncle of Hong Shuntang?
This problem has bothered He Huyong for a long time, he was able to lurk in the officialdom, and it was Hong Shuntang who spent countless manpower, financial resources and connections to make him where he is today.
And in return, he also brought immeasurable benefits to Hong Shuntang, over the years, this kind of output and input has actually been leveled, even if he really changed his temperament and really regarded himself as an official, Chen Qiyou would not blame him for anything.
After his dismissal, he, like other deposed officials, had a lot of resentment and resentment, but in the end, he was relieved.
Because he found that his heart would eventually belong to Hong Shuntang, just like a wanderer who had been away from his hometown for many years, he couldn't help but burst into tears, only to find that what he loved the most was this homeland after all.
He is a person from Hong Shuntang, and he is the master of the West Pavilion, not the patrol battalion pipe band, and if he recognizes this clearly, everything else will go naturally.
He has no personal prejudice against Chen Mu, on the contrary, because Chen Mu is Chen Qiyou's son, he actually has a different kind of concern in his heart.
But he is iron-clad and fair, if Chen Mu is a character like Chen Ying, he will not hesitate to recognize and accept Chen Mu, treat him as the young master, and clear all the obstacles for him to take over Hong Shuntang.
But Chen Mu is not, he has been studying since he was a child, and he has never been involved in the affairs of the gang, and he wants to take over Hong Shuntang, He Huyong can't accept it.
However, now it is different, almost everything Chen Mu did happened under He Huyong's nose, and he almost pulled He Huyong into the water several times.
So he knows better than anyone how difficult it is for Chen Mu to do these things, and how heavy the effort is.
This second young man of the Chen family, who has fine skin and tender meat, does not have a complete piece of skin and flesh on his body at this time, and this alone is enough for him to call Chen Mu respectfully: "Young master!" ”
He Huyong had told Chen Mu earlier that he was willing to assist Chen Mu, and when he heard He Huyong's honorific title, Chen Mu also nodded.
"Should I call you Lord He, or Uncle He?"
He Huyong also laughed when he saw Chen Mu's naughty young man.
This is still one of the few times Chen Mu has seen He Huyong's smile, this officer who wears a military uniform all day and has a rigid and majestic face, only looks like a person at this moment.
"My surname is 雒, my identity has not been known, the incense master generally calls me Lao Ye, if the young master does not dislike it, let it be called so."
Lao Ye means old things, and from this title, it also shows the friendship between Luo Jianhe and Chen Qiyou.
He recognized Chen Mu, and Chen Mu would naturally recognize him, not to mention, in this situation, Chen Mu really needed Luo Jianhe's help very much, and nodded immediately.
"It's inevitable to be a little disrespectful to call Lao Ye, no matter how you call the queen, it's not in the way, but you have to keep the rules in front of people, and you will be the second uncle in the future, and your nephew will rely on you."
The second uncle is not a simple uncle, but the status of the elders of the torture hall in Hongshun Hall, he should be called the second master, but Luo Jianhe is not too old after all, and a second uncle calling out can show his status, show Chen Mu's respect, and at the same time get a lot closer.
Although the two have done a lot of things that are both enemies and friends, in any case, he is indeed the person who Chen Mu knows each other the most deeply in the entire Hongshun Hall.
When you are an enemy, you don't get along with each other in old age and death, and after you become friends, you also depend on each other in life and death.
Luo Jianhe seemed to have found his own home again, just like a wandering ghost who had found a home, his face turned ruddy, and he said to Chen Mu: "The second uncle is the second uncle, which is also good." ”
Chen Mu was also very sleepy, the wound was disposed of, and the outside was already bright, but Chen Mu was finally relieved and had a good night's sleep.
In the dream, he saw his father, brother and mother again, and the bits and pieces of his childhood were not blurred, but became clearer.
In that dream, he was still a toddler, and his generous and beautiful mother took his hands and carefully guided him to walk.
His heart was full of panic, but also full of curiosity about the world, and even more so joyful and excited that he had mastered new skills and powers.
The mother's hands were finally released, and the young child in the dream walked staggeringly, becoming more and more steady, just like Chen Mu at this time.
