Chapter 48: Cheng Ying
Early the next morning, Li Ling went to the school to pick up Lin Yazhi. Lin Yazhi said excitedly: "Yesterday, the director of our girls' department, Mai Meide, asked you if you want to go back to school. If you wish, you can stay together for the next session. After all, you haven't been back for almost a year. You'll be my junior then. My classmates are looking forward to your return to school. ”
Li Ling was also a little moved. If you think about it, even if you succeed in your studies, you can be a small doctor at most. And now he can lead a lot of brothers to be proud of the rivers and lakes, this is the chivalrous dream he has longed for since he was a child, and it is also the beginning of the era of igniting blood, it is impossible to give up at this time, so he rejected her proposal.
Lin Yazhi was disappointed for a while, but she also pretended to be happy and said, "Where are you taking me to play today?" ”
Li Ling smiled a little narrowly: "When I was taken away, you said that you would take me to see your father!" It's such a good time today, what are we waiting for? ”
"Did I say that? I forgot. Pretty blushed, Lin Yazhi chirped. Then he lowered his head again, and said in a voice like a mosquito: "I haven't had time to tell my family yet, wait until I inform my parents before I go?" ”
Li Ling's heart fluttered slightly, knowing that she was completely accepting her attitude, and said with some trepidation: "I am also a little scared to visit my father-in-law and mother-in-law. ”
"Who is your father-in-law and mother-in-law, and her skin is thick enough. I haven't said I'm going to marry you yet. Lin Yazhi glanced at him, and said with a smile: "You are the most famous hooligan in Jinan, and there are times when you are afraid." ”
Li Ling smiled and led her to a bungalow on the outskirts of Jinan.
This house, which is only a few dozen square meters, is the residence of Li Ling's art teacher Ren Chunshan. He made a living as a fortune teller here. When Li Ling was very young, he found that he was hiding a body of kung fu, so he did everything possible to worship him as a teacher and learn the basic kung fu of martial arts, Dahongquan. Not only that, because Ren Chunshan is knowledgeable, he also learned political and military calligraphy and other knowledge. In Li Ling's most depressed years, he spent a good time here. Ren Chunshan is a reinvention for Li Ling.
He arrived with joy, but saw a large lock slam the door shut. Li Ling felt a pang of disappointment in his heart. Gently flick the door frame, and walk into the house, a musty smell blows in the face, and the dust is all over the ground. But there has been no sign of cleaning for a long time.
Ever since he knew about his master's tragic background, Li Ling had been thinking about accompanying him all the time. When the day comes, the house has long been empty. Seeing things and thinking about people, it is inevitable that sadness comes from it. Some swallowed and said: "My master is lonely, so that his temperament is a little withdrawn. But I am responsive to my requests, and I am the one who defends me everywhere. Since my accident, I don't know any trace of his old man. This is my unfilial piety as an apprentice. ”
Knowing that he had a deep friendship with his master, Lin Yazhi was not easy to persuade him, so she silently picked up the broom and began to clean up. When he finished cleaning up with sweat, he saw that Li Ling was still in a low mood, so he said: "Since your master-apprentice friendship is not over, there will definitely be a time to say goodbye." Maybe he has something to do and will come back in a year and a half. If you want to open some too, I'll take you to every house today. ”
"Maybe the master will come back, he said that when I get married, I will still be a high hall! Where are you going to take me? ”
"Don't ask, you come with me."
Green crops are alive and well in the water of the small river. A fenced courtyard sits on the ridge of the field. The occasional sound of chickens and dogs makes this family seem so natural and quiet. Let people put aside the outside deceitful society and enjoy it. When Li Ling first came here, he couldn't help but think of the idyllic scenery in the ancient poems.
Lin Yazhi was very familiar with this place, and pushed the fence straight away. shouted into the house, "Sister Ying, are you not at home?" Look who I've brought. ”
The hostess in the house heard the shout, and a soft and beautiful voice came: "Sister Lin is here, come and sit in the house." This is...... Yes...... Lee Hero? ”
Dressed in white, he dragged the ground, setting off the graceful Miaoman figure. The panicked pretty face could not hide the peerless face, and the pair of slender hands with white skin like jade fell to the ground because of the shock. This person is Cheng Ying, a woman who was molested by the Japanese in Jinan City and saved by Li Ling.
Such a peerless woman made Li Ling feel amazing. Although we met twice before, it was also a tense moment. Now that I look closely, I am a little more beautiful than the Mu Qinglian I have seen.
After Cheng Ying's initial surprise, her eyes turned red, Ying Ying knelt on the ground, and said: "At the beginning, Li Yingying desperately rescued him, so that he dragged down his life and made me annoyed for life. Today, I finally saw the hero turn the danger into a disaster and returned safely. ”
Li Ling hurriedly grabbed her slippery arm, stopped her, and said, "Such a big gift, don't torture me!" I just did what everyone in China should do, and you shouldn't take it too seriously. I'll learn from Yazhi to call you Sister Ying. ”
Cheng Ying still had crystal tears under her long and slightly curly eyelashes, and said with a smile: "Then I won't politely call you Brother Ling." Come into the house quickly, and if you haven't eaten yet, I'll make you something to eat." "It's not pretentious, and invites Li Ling and the others generously.
The cottage is not large, but the interior is bright, clean and simple. Everything is so well organized and staggered. On the desk of the hall, there are two plaques. A tablet that reads "The tablet of the late husband Tang Qingshan." The other is "Engong Li Ling's tablet." ”
Seeing Li Ling inspecting, Cheng Ying said: "I thought that Brother Ling was already an ancient, so I set up a tablet to worship every day, and I will get rid of it after eating." The other is my husband, who died of injuries two years ago. In the past few years, my daughter and I have been dependent on each other. If I had been humiliated by the Japanese that day, I would have refused to live in the world, but I would have taken pity on my daughter. ”
Li Ling is silent, a widow with a daughter, even rolling and climbing, life is indeed not easy. When you leave, you should leave some money to help them.
Cheng Ying went to the kitchen to work, and Lin Yazhi also went to help. Li Ling looked around, but saw a red cloth ticket in a gala, on which was actually the hall number of Hongmen Chunbaoshan, and the name was Tang Qingshan. Li Ling was shocked, it turned out that Cheng Ying's husband was from Hongmen, and he was in the same mountain hall as himself, but he didn't know how he died.
Quietly hid the cloth ticket behind the tablet, thinking about his thoughts. Suddenly, I heard a child's voice coming: "Aunt Lin, you can come to me, Ke'er misses you." I saw a little girl of eleven or twelve years old running in from outside. Her flaxen-colored head is staggeringly bright, with a pair of beautiful bows, a pair of big eyes like grapes covered by a lupine fan, sparkling like a night starlight, a straight nose, smooth skin, thin lips showing lovely pink, and delicate and beautiful facial features like peaches.
She didn't wait for Lin Yazhi to answer, she came to the house, and when she saw Li Ling, she tilted her head and asked timidly, "Who are you?" ”
Li Ling had never seen such a little girl carved in pink and jade, and she loved it very much, so she pointed to the tablet with her name written on it, and said with a smile: "I am this person." ”
The little girl said with a surprised face: "You are a little father?" ”
"Little Daddy?" Li Ling was also confused. At this time, Lin Yazhi and Cheng Ying just entered the house, and Lin Yazhi covered her mouth and snickered. Cheng Yingqiao blushed and said, "This is my daughter Tang Keer." When she asked her father where he was, I told her to go away. Later, when a tablet was erected, she asked who it was. Even if I explained it to her, she didn't understand, so I told her that it was a little father, and he had to burn some paper money during the New Year's holidays. Now that Brother Ling is here, don't call it that. To be called uncle. ”
Li Ling waved his hand and said, "I like the child very much, so it's better to call me little father." Come on, Kerr. Little Daddy has a gift for you. ”
Cheng Ying was embarrassed, but Li Ling insisted on doing so, so he no longer stopped it. But when he saw the gift that Li Ling took out from his body, it was a discoloration: "This is an emerald that is rare to see in a thousand years, and the crystal is so complete, it should be priceless." This gift is too expensive to accept under any circumstances. ”
Li Ling said with a smile: "Sister Ying is from a big family, and her knowledge is extraordinary. But this kind of thing is nothing more than this in my eyes, and I can hold it with confidence. ”
"If you want to give Kerr a gift, choose something light and cheap. This thing is really too valuable, absolutely impossible. Cheng Ying said with a resolute face.
Li Ling patted his whole body, spread his hands, and said with a smile: "There are only so many things on my body, and there is more than this, there are no other things." I said that if I sent it, there would be no reason to take it back, and Sister Ying didn't have to make a fuss. ”
"That's right." Lin Yazhi covered her mouth and smiled: "I finally caught a nouveau riche today, even if he let him temporarily store things here." Sister Ying doesn't have to be insistent. ”
Cheng Ying's face turned slightly pale, and said, "This thing is temporarily placed here, and Brother Ling can come and pick it up at any time." ”
Li Ling took off a gold chain from her body, tied it to the gemstone, and took Tang Ke'er to help her carry it around her neck. After the embellishment of emeralds, Tang Keer's already delicate and beautiful face is more graceful and luxurious.
This meal was the best meal Li Ling felt in his life. Not to mention the delicate dishes, just the company of two beauties can be pleasing to the eye and relaxing. What's more, there is a cute and cute goddaughter.
After eating, Li Ling asked, "Sister Ying's accent is not local. I don't know where I moved from? How did Brother Tang pass away? ”
Cheng Ying thought for a long time, and her eyes were foggy. sighed lightly: "My father was originally the governor of Jiangsu Cheng, but because I was young and ignorant at the time, I was expelled from the family. ”
