Another morning, Shen Tingyu got up early to go to the pharmacy to buy medicine, as soon as he entered the pharmacy, he heard a strange squeak inside, after buying the medicine, Shen Tingyu asked the shopkeeper of the pharmacy: "Shopkeeper, who are these people?" ”

"They are from the Hong Gang on the docks, and they are probably fighting with other gangs."

"Oh?" As soon as Shen Tingyu heard that it was related to the dock, he decided to stay in the pharmacy for a while, and at this time, the group began to talk.

"His grandmother's! The group of grandsons of the Li family gang were really ruthless. ”

"Of course, the Li family gang has the support of big forces, and it doesn't matter if you kill someone."

"You mean Li ......" The man was about to say his name, when he turned his head and saw Shen Tingyu standing aside, so he swallowed back what he was about to say.

Seeing that he was discovered, Shen Tingyu simply walked over and sat between them.

"Brothers, I am a businessman below, I just heard you talking about the things on the dock, and I ask you to mention more, otherwise I am afraid that in the future, my brother will be planted in whose hands."

Hearing this, everyone in the Hong Gang looked at Shen Tingyu suspiciously, Shen Tingyu took out three taels of silver from his arms at this time, handed it over, and said: "A little silver is not a respect, brothers take it to drink tea." ”

At this time, a leading person took Shen Tingyu's silver with a smile and said in a low voice: "Rely on your parents at home, and rely on your friends when you go out." Since the little brother wants to know, then let me tell you, usually on the dock, you must be careful of those people in the Li family's gang, they do nonsense on weekdays, and dare to do any shady things. ”

"Oh? Aren't they afraid of being arrested by the government? ”

"Afraid? Do you know who their backers are? ”

"I want to hear about it."

At this time, the leader put his head close to Shen Tingyu and said in a low voice: "Their backer is named Li Wen, this person has no ability, but he is just a scoundrel who can only play tricks, but his cousin is my governor of Qingzhou, and it depends on the master to beat the dog, and now even the county commander does not dare to offend him easily." ”

"Thank you brothers, little brother, I will be careful of the people of the Li family gang in the future."

Shen Tingyu thanked them, took the medicine and went home, after serving his mother and drinking the medicine, Shen Tingyu had nothing to do, just went to the market accompanied by a family member, everything here did not seem to have changed, the bustling crowd, the sound of disturbance, filled this huge market.

"It seems to be a lot more lively in the market lately." Shen Tingyu looked at the obvious increase in the flow of people compared to usual, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Young master doesn't know, today is the first day of the sixth month, and the half-year festival is about to be celebrated, so there are naturally more people."

"Yes, half a year has passed, just half a year, it's really like a lifetime." The half-year festival is a day of family reunion and joy, Shen Tingyu thought that his father was still in prison, and he couldn't reunite even if he was a holiday, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad.

"You go back first, I want to go by myself." Shen Tingyu said to the family on the side.

"Yes, young master."

After the family left, Shen Tingyu came to the restaurant he used to come to, asked for a pot of wine, poured himself a glass, and wanted to borrow wine to kill his sorrows.

"Shen Gongzi is really interested."

Shen Tingyu looked up, but saw that the person who came was Chu Zhilan, still wearing the red dress of the past, still the extremely delicate face of the past, the only difference is that today's Chu Zhilan is holding a suqin and wearing a hairpin, which looks particularly beautiful and moving, for a while, Shen Tingyu was a little crazy.

And Chu Zhilan was not annoyed when she saw him like this, she just reminded with a smile: "Shen Gongzi." ”

"Oh, why is Miss Zhilan here today?" Shen Tingyu was a little embarrassed, so he changed the topic as soon as possible.

"A friend is about to travel far away, I have come to say goodbye, can I accompany Shen Gongzi for a drink?"

"It's an honor."

While drinking, Chu Zhilan seemed to see the sadness that Shen Tingyu couldn't hide between his eyebrows, so he asked, "Seeing that Shen Gongzi's behavior today is not like before, I think there is a bitterness hidden in my heart?" ”

"Miss Zhilan has fiery eyes, but this is so boring, she can't say it endlessly."

"Can Shen Gongzi know the genius Jin Shengsi?"

"Sir's name is like thunder, but I haven't met before."

"Mr. Kim once said: 'Cutting off the head hurts; Drinking, quick things also; Cut off your head and drink first, and be happy! Shen Gongzi might as well learn from Mr. Jin's open-mindedness, and the depression in his heart will naturally disappear. ”

"Cutting off the head is also painful; Drinking, quick things also; Cut off your head and drink first, and be happy! Hahaha! Sir is really talented. But I'm a little squirming, and with this kind word alone, I can get drunk today. ”

"Although the little woman is not strong enough to drink, she knows a little about Sizhu, and she is willing to drink with pleasure and get drunk with you."

I saw Chu Zhilan plucking the strings lightly, and the music immediately came out tactfully, and suddenly it seemed like a trickle, telling the story; Suddenly, it seemed to be a rolling river, rushing away. The scorching sun is shining, the silk and bamboo are around the beams, the wine in the cup, and the beauty on the seat. Such beautiful scenery is enough to forget all your troubles and temporarily feel peaceful in your heart.

"Good song, today I, Shen Tingyu, will get drunk with Miss Zhilan!"

......

On the sixth day of the sixth month of June, this day is the half-year festival, this morning, Shen Tingyu bought medicine and came back early, he has already decided in his heart that he will not go anywhere today, just accompany his mother at home.

Mrs. Shen looked at Shen Tingyu, who came back early, and was naturally overjoyed in her heart, and after drinking the medicine, Mrs. Shen asked, "Why did Tingyu go home so early today?" ”

"Mother, it was a child who was young and ignorant before, often played outside, and never walked with his mother much, but now he has a lot of affairs and little time to accompany his mother, how unfilial the child is."

Seeing that Shen Tingyu's reply was a little strange, Mrs. Shen asked worriedly, "Didn't something happen to Tingyu Mo?" Why is it so emotional? ”

"My mother is worried a lot, but there have been a lot of things recently, and I know that fame and fortune are all illusory, and today is the half-year festival, and the family reunion is true."

"Didn't Ting Yu say that too many adults would give your father justice? When the time comes, it will naturally be reunited. ”

"Yes, it's reunited...... I just don't know if I can be with you anymore at that time, Shen Tingyu thought so.

"Since today is the half-year festival, you can't miss your father, so let's do it, my mother may not have seen your father for a long time, why don't we buy some wine and food, go to see your father in prison, and have a meal together by the way" Mrs. Shen proposed.

"It's just that my mother's body is still a little weak, so it's better not to move around."

"It doesn't matter."

Seeing that his mother insisted, Shen Tingyu had no choice but to fulfill her wish, supported her mother, bought some wine and food, and walked to the prison.
