Preface to the Lanting Collection Part 2 The Lost Story of the Lanting Chapter 27 The Heir

When there was still some distance from the melon and fruit stall, Ding Ruiqi suddenly heard a baby's cry. Following the sound, it turned out to be a baby boy who was thrown on the side of the street, and occasionally a few pedestrians stopped to take a look, but no one picked it up.

After picking up the child, Ding Ruiqi found that there was an ancient letter inserted in the child's arms, and when he opened it, he saw that there was only one sentence on it: I hope that the good people will be merciful and adopt him, and the great kindness will be repaid in the next life. The words are written crookedly, as if they are a woman's moral and intellectual body.

"Hey, there are two ways for people to die, either they can survive or starve." Ding Ruiqi looked up to the sky and sighed, he wanted to go crazy if he wanted a child, but he didn't expect to throw a child, what kind of world is it, look at what is written on this letter and will be reported in the next life, it seems that this child may be gone, it's not bad, although he can't give birth, but it's okay to pick one up.

happily holding the child, Ding Ruiqi, who was in the old age, did not buy watermelons, and trotted all the way home like a young man, without children in his life, Wu himself was also very depressed, seeing that Ding Ruiqi suddenly came back with a child, and forgot about the watermelon, he quickly sent his partner Liu San out to invite a wet nurse, and then held the child in his arms and kissed him.

Since then, the old Ding family has an heir, and Ding Ruiqi realized that the so-called heir of the fortune teller may be referring to this. Because the child's letter did not indicate the child's birthday, Ding Ruiqi took the day he picked up the child as the child's birthday, and named the child Ding Jianbang, which means that he hopes that the child can build a country and serve the country.

Although I am happy to tie up the child, there is another thing that makes Ding Ruiqi feel special in Jinan, that is, since the child was picked up, there has always been a woman in her forties who came to the store to buy shoes. Every time you have to buy a pair of shoes, one does not pick the look, the other does not look at the size, pick the most expensive to buy, to say that the shoes of this thing, no matter how poor the quality, can not wear two pairs a month. So once Ding Ruiqi couldn't help it, so he asked this woman: "What does it mean to buy more than 20 pairs of shoes in half a year?" Do you think the shoes of the Wu family shoe store are too poor and embarrassed to return them? ”

At first, this woman was not the main property, she just smiled awkwardly, threw down the money and took the shoes and ran, and then the woman still went to the Wu family shoe store to buy shoes rain or shine. This time, Ding Ruiqi is really strange, how can there be such a big man who hates a lot of money in the world? Curiosity is curiosity, but Ding Ruiqi is not stupid, since he picked up the child, there has been such a God of Wealth, and eighty percent of this woman is the child's mother.

In order to confirm his thoughts, when the woman came to the door again, Ding Ruiqi simply took the child out, and as expected, the woman's eyes immediately turned red after seeing the child. Seeing this scene, Ding Ruiqi hurriedly asked the guy to close the door and began to ask the woman what was going on.

As soon as the woman saw that the matter had come to this, she simply wrapped the child with a handful of snot and tears and told the truth. It turned out that the woman's surname was He, called He Suling, who was as beautiful as a flower when she was young, and was once a famous character in the troupe. Originally, there was a good friend named Chen De of the Sea and Mountain Alliance, but later this Chen De said that he was going to stay in the United States, and he was gone for ten years, and there was no news, watching his youth grow old year by year, He Suling simply lost confidence in this Chen De on the spot, and was disheartened, and was willing to be the wife of Wang Zhanyuan, the overseer of Hubei. As a result, just a year ago, that Chen De suddenly came back from the UK and wanted to elope back to the UK with He Suling, although He Suling was old and Zhuhuang had fallen out of favor, but when he thought that Wang Zhanyuan was rich, powerful and powerful, if he cuckolded him, his parents would definitely suffer, so he rejected Chen De's request. Seeing that He Suling was unwilling, Chen De had no choice but to leave his address and return to the UK by himself, and about two or three months after Chen De left, He Suling found that he was pregnant with the flesh and blood of East Germany.

Later, He Suling wrote several letters to Chen De according to Chen Deliu's address, all of which were sunk into the sea, watching his belly get bigger day by day, He Suling had no choice but to secretly give birth to the child, in order to hide people's eyes, he could only throw the child on the side of the road in the hope that he could be adopted by well-wishers. When Ding Ruiqi picked up the child, He Suling watched not far away, and secretly followed Ding Ruiqi to the shoe store before leaving.

In the end, He Suling simply pounced and ran down for Ding Ruiqi, hoping that Ding Ruiqi would help him keep it secret and raise the child well. As he spoke, he handed Ding Ruiqi a silver ticket of five hundred oceans, and wanted to give Ding Ruiqi all his savings.

Ding Ruiqi sighed when he heard this, rejected He Suling's silver ticket, and told He Suling about the things that he had never left in his life and the words of the fortune teller, so that He Suling could go back with confidence, and after a thousand thanks, He Suling insisted on leaving a hundred yuan of cash and left the Wu family's shoe store, and never came again.

Three years later, Wu died of illness, Ding Ruiqi pulled the child alone, and life was passable, but there is an old Chinese saying, if you are not afraid of no good things, you are afraid that there are no good people. There is a Jin Fulou Hotel next to the Wu family's shoe store, and the shopkeeper Jin Dalin is a ruffian and is said to have worked under Liu Guiqi, the gangster leader in Hankou. In April of the ninth year of the Republic of China, this Jin Dalin suddenly wanted to expand the hotel, because the left side of Jin Fulou was a Japanese firm, and he couldn't move, so he started the idea of Wu's shoe store. sent people to Ding Ruiqi again and again, but Ding Ruiqi just didn't agree. This Ding Dalin was angry and asked people to come to the Wu family shoe store to find fault and rob him, but this Ding Ruiqi was also stubborn, and he would rather buy and sell than fight to the end with this Jin Dalin. Faced with an old man in his eighties, although Jin Dalin was a ruffian, he was embarrassed to make a dead hand, just when Ji was undecided, a guy surnamed Wang gave him an idea, Jin Dalin immediately smiled when he heard it, and even said that he was good, and he rewarded this guy with five oceans.

A few days later, a lame one-eyed veteran swayed to Jin Dalin's residence. After a banquet, Ding Ruiqi's nightmare began.

At first, it was the guy Liu San who was scared to death one night, and then Ding Ruiqi couldn't afford to get sick, and he saw that he was dying. At that time, Ding Jianbang was just nine years old, but he already had the demeanor of a teenager when he spoke and did things, and during his father's serious illness, Ding Jianbang invited Langzhong while serving Ding Ruiqi to eat, drink and Lazar, as a child, these things made Ding Jianbang really precocious.

On this day, Ding Jianbang was decocting medicine, and suddenly heard Ding Ruiqi in the house shouting his name, and after running to the house, he saw Ding Ruiqi, who had been in bed for many days and usually had difficulty turning over, suddenly sat up by himself, and was full of energy, his eyes were shining, and he was beckoning himself to come over.

Seeing this scene, Ding Jianbang was quite happy at first, thinking that his father's illness was cured, but unexpectedly, after Ding Ruiqi touched Ding Jianbang's head and explained the aftermath, he grunted in his throat and died. Regarding his father's sudden death, Ding Jianbang really wanted to cry without tears. Jin Dalin, who hadn't shown up for several months, suddenly slammed the door with a group of people, claiming that Ding Ruiqi had borrowed money from the Jin family, and the IOU with black paper slammed on the table. Ding Jianbang is a clever child, seeing this situation, although he wondered in his heart, he still showed childlike innocence, and he was so frightened that he cried. Jin Dalin first asked people to search Ding Jianbang's body, and after finding nothing, he broke into the back room without saying anything, and saw that Ding Ruiqi had indeed lost his breath, and then laughed. Then a few people began to rummage through the cabinets to find it, and Ding Jianbang understood that this was looking for a deed.

After secretly taking out a dozen pieces of ocean from under the counter, Ding Jianbang sneaked out the door. When he was about to go out, he saw a lame and one-eyed old man enter the house, which really startled Ding Jianbang. There have been a lot of ugly monsters in the store to buy shoes before, but I have never seen such an ugly one, the lame old man glanced at Ding Jianbang, didn't say a word, and limped into the house.

After running out of the shoe store, the first thing Ding Jianbang did was to go to his aunt (actually his biological mother) according to his father's explanation, but after coming to the address mentioned by his father, he found that this place lived a couple of foreigners.

Ding Jianbang saw that defecting to his aunt was unreliable, so he turned his head and went straight to Wudang Mountain to join his uncle.

"Then his father's body is lying on the bed, and he doesn't care?" Zhang Guozhong frowned.

"He was just a kid, and he was only nine years old at the time." Sun Ting said silently, "In that year of war and chaos, it is already fortunate to be able to reach Wudang Mountain safely." ”

"And then?" Zhang Guozhong said.

"That Jin Dalin robbed the Wu family's shoe store and buried Ding Ruiqi in a thin coffin. Later, it was his younger brother Ding Ruizong, also known as Yun Lingzi, who found his burial place in some very peculiar ways. ”

After coming to Wudang Mountain, Yun Lingzi happened to be not on the mountain, and Ding Jianbang lived in Fuzhen Temple for more than a month before Yun Lingzi came back. After hearing the news of Ding Ruiqi's death and the lame old man, he was so angry that he smashed the teacup. Immediately returned to Hankou with Ding Jianbang. It turned out that the lame one-eyed old Taoist name was Li Xiu, and he should be his uncle in terms of seniority, and he was expelled from the division after breaking his legs by Zuoqiu Yang Zhenren because of his use of Taoism (according to Taoist rules, for the sake of self-interest or revenge and revenge, he will be expelled from the mountain gate by breaking his legs and then expelling from the mountain gate, which is the unwritten rule of Taoism for thousands of years, and Luo Youchang, the founder of Luozhen, was expelled from Taoism because of this), this time I listened to Ding Jianbang's learning tongue, Yun Lingzi concluded that his brother's death was the ghost of this Li Xiu.

After returning to Hankou, Yun Lingzi found that his brother's body had been buried, and he didn't know where he was buried, so he was even more furious, and found Jin Dalin alone, asking Jin Dalin to return the house of the shoe store, and went to the police to surrender on the matter of his own murder. Yun Lingzi had no choice but to leave Jin Dalin's house.

"How can a hooligan turn himself in after listening to an old Taoist say a few words?" Hearing Sun Ting say this, Zhang Guozhong also felt very ridiculous, persuading and educating a hooligan, this kind of thing is impossible in any dynasty or generation.

"Zhang Zhangjiao, you are wrong." Sun Ting smiled slightly, "A month later, Jin Dalin will regret why he didn't listen to this old Taoist and went to the police station to turn himself in." ”

"Oh?" Zhang Guozhong was puzzled, "Could it be Yun Lingzi." ”

"Yes, that's right." Sun Ting smiled slightly, "Yun Lingzi rented a house opposite Jin Fu Building, and Jin Dalin also knew that he might have offended a capable person, so he invited that lame old Taoist Li Xiu back again." ”
