Lin Shuyue glanced at her sideways while waiting for the red light: "It's okay, it's okay."
She roughly knew what Jiang Xinxin did, and she didn't ask any questions that she shouldn't have asked. Jiang Xinxin's situation finally confirmed what she previously thought at this moment. Jiang Xinxin didn't explain to Lin Shuyue why she called her.
If possible, Jiang Xinxin would never call Lin Shuyue, but tonight, her comrades were all on a mission outside, and she couldn't contact them. As a police officer, He Yuling was basically a familiar face to Wang Hu and his men, and she couldn't let her take risks. After thinking about it, the only person she could trust was Lin Shuyue.
"Ah Yue, please take me to the military hospital." Jiang Xinxin's whole body was shaking unconsciously.
"Okay." Lin Shuyue turned the car around and drove towards the military hospital, which was in Pingjiang District of Pengcheng. It would take at least thirty minutes to get there from Pingsha District where Lin Shuyue was now, but special matters were handled specially. Lin Shuyue drove very fast, watching Jiang Xinxin, whose eyes were already dazed, and they arrived in less than twenty minutes.
As soon as her car stopped, several doctors and nurses in white coats over their military uniforms came running over pushing a stretcher. Lin Shuyue parked the car at the door, and everyone rushed to push Jiang Xinxin into the hospital.
Lin Shuyue followed, and Jiang Xinxin was pushed to the emergency room unimpeded, and the red light came on.
Lin Shuyue was waiting in the waiting area outside the emergency room when she heard the sound of chaotic footsteps. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw several men in casual uniforms but with military looks running in hurriedly. They first thanked Lin Shuyue and then waited outside the door anxiously.
Lin Shuyue thought about it and left. She did not introduce herself. She felt that if Jiang Xinxin was really on a special mission, then she, who was introduced by He Yuling to learn martial arts from Jiang Xinxin, must have been thoroughly investigated by the military. It was obviously useless for her to introduce herself.
It was already past four o'clock when Lin Shuyue came out of the hospital. She drove home and passed by a small shop called Late Night Soy Milk. She got out of the car, locked it and went into the shop. She ordered a small fried dough stick and a bowl of soy milk. After eating, she bought a few more and took them home.
It was already five o'clock when she got home. Lin Shuyue put the soy milk and fried dough sticks in the kitchen and went back to her room to take a nap. When she woke up, it was already past ten o'clock. There was a lot of noise in the yard. Lin Shuyue yawned and came out. Ah Hao and Zhou Bingrong were there.
Lin Shuxing and Luo Zhengjun's fast food restaurant was closed today because of the holiday. She was squatting under the grape trellis in the yard with a few children to plucking the chickens and ducks. There were two large electric fans in the corner blowing towards them.
The weather today is exceptionally good, with bright sunshine and no wind at all. If you move a little, you'll be covered in sweat.
Lin Shuyue walked to a place with a fan, and the cool wind dried the sweat on her body: "Mom and Uncle Bai haven't come back yet?"
Lin Shuxing said, "Mom is looking after the store. Uncle Bai and your brother-in-law went to the market to buy vegetables and barbecue. They said they didn't have enough barbecue last night and wanted to eat more tonight."
After Bai Pingping came back and did not object to Lou Fengqin and Bai Wenhua's relationship, Lou Fengqin quit her original job and went to work in the supermarket opened by Bai Wenhua. Today was a holiday, and all the employees were on holiday, so she went to watch over the whole morning.
"That's great. I won't be driving tonight and I want to drink some beer too." Lin Shuyue didn't get to drink beer last night and felt a little regretful. Now that she heard that there would be a barbecue tonight, a smile appeared on her brows.
Lin Shuxing also knew that Lin Shuyue liked to drink something: "Didn't you say before that you wanted to eat crayfish? Your brother-in-law also bought some. We have already cleaned the crayfish this morning and will make it later."
Lin Shuxing didn't eat crayfish before, not because she didn't like it, but because she was poor and couldn't afford it. Now that their fast food restaurant is making money every day, eating a meal of crayfish is no longer a luxury.
Because she had money, she wanted to buy everything her family liked. For example, Lin Shuyang liked chicken, Bai Pingping and Zeng Xiaoyi liked barbecued pork, so she bought a lot of them. And duck was what she and Lou Fengqin liked.
Lin Shuyue was even happier: "This should be the last batch of crayfish. After this batch, the meat of future crayfish will be less yellow and not as firm. If you want to eat good crayfish again, you have to wait until next year."
The best season to eat crayfish is from April to mid-October. Beyond this period, they are no longer delicious.
The two chickens and ducks were almost processed, and Lin Shuyue didn't want to dirty her hands. She saw a large pot of garlic on the table under the grape tree, so she sat down and started to pick the garlic.
Lin Shuxing asked Lin Shuyang and several older boys to take the chickens and ducks to the kitchen, and then sat next to Lin Shuyue and worked with her.
Lin Shuyue asked about Lin Shuxing's wedding.
Lin Shuxing looked at the date and decided on National Day, because there are three days off for National Day. Today is the 29th, so there are only a few days left.
"Set up a few tables at the big restaurant at the entrance of the village and invite some of your mother's relatives, Uncle Bai's relatives, and Zhou's relatives to come. Your brother-in-law's parents are not in good health and don't plan to come, but they have sent a thousand yuan. But his mother wants us to go back after we get married."
"His mother said that a highway will be built next to their village this year and will occupy the family's fields. The state will compensate them with some money, and your brother-in-law should go back to share it. It's a good thing that all the villagers are back, so we'll go back and hold a wedding." Lin Shuxing has been dating Luo Zhengjun for more than a year and has never been to Luo Zhengjun's hometown, but she has called Luo Zhengjun's mother several times, and she has given Lin Shuxing a good impression of her.
"Have you discussed this with mom? What did she say?" Lin Shuyang and the others came out of the kitchen, each holding a popsicle, and went to the living room. Bai Pingping and Zeng Xiaoyi each had an extra popsicle in their hands, and brought them to Lin Shuyue and the others.
Zeng Xiaoyi gave Lin Shuyue a glutinous rice cake. Lin Shuyue liked this flavor the most. She tore off the paper wrapping it and put it in her mouth. She immediately felt cool that she squinted her eyes. Zeng Xiaoyi and Bai Pingping walked into the living room hand in hand, skipping and hopping.
Sometimes the two of them sleep together now, like very good sisters. They even have their own little secrets, which Lin Shuyue can't find out even if she asks.
Lin Shuxing also ate the popsicle: "Mom said it's okay, so we can go over and transfer Zhengjun's household registration here as well."
It is not convenient to transfer your household registration these days. You must first get an admission permit at the place you are moving to, and then go to the original place of your household registration to get a permit to move. Not only do you have to prepare a lot of materials, but you also have to go in person to write an application, which is very troublesome. Now the house in Xiasha Village is registered in the name of Lin Shuxing alone.
"Okay, I'll go too." Lin Shuyue heard from Luo Zhengjun that the scenery near his home was very nice. She had not stopped thinking during this period and was really tired.
Lin Shuxing nodded with a smile: "Even if you don't tell us, we are still planning to take you with us."
Lin Shuxing also married far away. When she went to her relatives' house for the first time, she had to bring a few more people with her, otherwise she would be looked down upon. Lin Shuxing didn't care, after all, she didn't live in Luo Zhengjun's hometown, but Lou Fengqin didn't agree. She knew too well the importance of her natal family to a woman.
After finishing a popsicle, the two began to peel garlic, because Lin Shuyue liked to eat garlic crayfish, so they needed a lot of crayfish. The two sisters were talking and peeling garlic, and Lin Shuyang, Zeng Xiaoyi and others in the room had already started singing. Except for Zeng Xiaoyi and Bai Pingping, the others sang worse than the other, especially Zhou Bingrong. Who would have thought that this boy with glasses, who was gentle and had a normal voice, would sing with a pure clip sound.
Not to mention Lin Shuyue, even Lin Shuxing, who was particularly tolerant of his younger siblings, couldn't stand it.
Ah Hao and Lin Shuyang in the room teamed up to beat up Zhou Bingrong. In order to disgust them, Zhou Bingrong spoke in a clipped voice.
That male voice is so uncomfortable to hear.
Lou Fengqin just came back with a bag of drinks and a can of beer. Hearing the noise in the room, he immediately shouted, "Ah Rong, do you have a cold? Do you want to take some medicine?"
Zhou Bingrong was being rude to Lin Shuyang and the others, and his face flushed when he heard Lou Fengqin's voice. He was a bit rude in front of his peers, but he was still very proud in front of his elders.
"Aunt Lou, I don't have a cold."
Lou Fengqin went to the kitchen with drinks and beer. As she walked, she was still worried: "If you feel unwell, you should have told me earlier. The flu this season is not good."
Lin Shuyue and Lin Shuxing also laughed.
Lou Fengqin had just entered the house when Bai Wenhua and Luo Zhengjun came back. The father-in-law and son-in-law brought a lot of things with them, including a lot of food and daily necessities. When Bai Wenhua and Lou Fengqin were putting things away in the kitchen, Luo Zhengjun came over with a small velvet box, smiled shyly at Lin Shuyue, and then sat down next to Lin Shuxing.
Said: "Ah Xing, I have saved some money recently and bought you a gold bracelet. It's not expensive, but it's a token of my appreciation."
Luo Zhengjun took out a gold bracelet. It was not heavy as he said, but according to the current gold price, it would cost at least one or two thousand yuan. Lin Shuxing said that she was the one who did all the accounting in the store, and Luo Zhengjun's salary was always in her hands. She only gave him some money for cigarettes and pocket money every day. It was unknown how long Luo Zhengjun had saved up this thousand yuan.
Lin Shuyue ignored the garlic smell on her body, held up her face, and looked at the two of them with an auntie's smile.
Lin Shuxing was about to cry. When she married Luo Zhengjun, Lou Fengqin did not mention the dowry, and Lin Shuxing did not ask for the three golds. Lou Fengqin did not ask for Lin Shuxing because she believed in Luo Zhengjun's character. Even without these things, he would still be good to Lin Shuxing.
Lin Shuxing had great confidence in Luo Zhengjun. From the day they confirmed their relationship, Luo Zhengjun would give her gifts from time to time. At first, it was exquisite necklaces and bracelets. Later, when he had some money, he gave her silver bracelets and necklaces. Now, he gives her gold bracelets.
Luo Zhengjun's feelings remained unchanged, and their lives became better. Lin Shuxing was deeply moved, and Luo Zhengjun put the bracelet on her hand.
Lin Shuxing worked all year round, so her hands were not delicate, but fair. After wearing the gold bracelet, her hands looked even whiter. Luo Zhengjun worked all year round, so his skin was wheat-colored. Their black and white hands were tightly clasped. The couple looked at each other lovingly.
The air was filled with the sour smell of love. As a single person, Lin Shuyue felt full before she even had today's dinner.
At this time, there was a knock on the door. Lin Shuyue didn't want to eat dog food anymore, so she stood up and ran to open the door.
There was a very familiar-looking jeep parked outside the door, and an unexpected person was standing in front of the car.
"Captain Hang, why are you here?"
Hang Jiabai opened the trunk of the car and took things out one by one.
"I have half a day off today, and my colleagues in the bureau asked me to give you a return gift. Today is a holiday, and they have to increase patrols, so they can't come." Hang Jiabai brought a lot of things, including moon cakes, fruits, and even two live chickens.
Hang Jiabai followed Lin Shuyue's gaze and said with a smile, "Zhao Youcheng's family is from Jiang Zhan. The chickens there are the most famous. Since he joined the unit, he has asked his mother to send him more than 20 chickens every New Year and other holidays."
Jiang Zhan's chicken is indeed delicious, and the best is white-cut chicken. That place is also the most popular place for eating chicken in the entire Guangdong Province. Rumor has it that no chicken can walk out of Jiang Zhan alive. As a local of Guangdong for two lifetimes, Lin Shuyue also likes to eat chicken.
Lin Shuyue laughed. She did not refuse the return gift from the Public Security Bureau. Her grandmother in her previous life and her mother in this life had taught her that connections are built up slowly through interactions.
Although it was a bit utilitarian, it was true. She had a system for distinguishing good from evil, and she had many dealings with the Public Security Bureau. The deeper the relationship, the more beneficial it would be for her future work: "Then thank them for me."
"They told me to tell you you're welcome." Hang Jiabai laughed.
Lou Fengqin also came out of the kitchen at this moment. Seeing that it was Hang Jiabai outside the door, she walked faster: "It's Captain Hang, come in and have a seat."
Hang Jiabai called her aunt respectfully, and then postponed: "Auntie, I won't sit down. We have a task in the afternoon."
Lou Fengqin also knew that it was a holiday today and the police were quite busy, so she did not try to persuade him to stay. She just said, "Then you must come to our house for dinner when you are free."
"Okay, then, Auntie Lin Ji, I'll be leaving first." Hang Jiabai said goodbye to the two of them, then got in the car, backed up and drove away.
Lou Fengqin called Lin Shuyang and others to move the return gift from Hang Jiabai into the house. After knowing that the two chickens were Jiang Zhan chickens, she raised them in the yard of the Bai family next door.
After closing the door, the whole house became lively. Everyone who had to work was working, some were threading the skewers, some were washing the vegetables, no one was idle.
They had a big meal at noon. Before it got dark, the barbecue stall was set up and fragrant smoke was rising from the yard.
Lin Shuyang and others were peeling pomelo, they were going to make pomelo lanterns. Before lunch, Bai Wenhua went to pick up Ah Hao's grandmother, Grandma Fang. Ah Hao's family is very close to Lin Shuyue's family now, and she brought her own braised pork feet with ginger. It was very delicious.
Someone else was grilling the barbecue, and Lin Shuyue was only responsible for eating. After finishing the crayfish and eating half of the barbecue, and drinking a lot of wine, Li Mingfang called: "Ah Yue, Ah Yue, Brother Qiang has booked a KTV room for us to sing. Li Weisheng and I are on the way to pick you up now, so hurry up and get ready."
Before Lin Shuyue could react, she hung up the phone.
Lin Shuxing sat next to her: "Who called?"
"My colleague called and said that my master had booked a private room and wanted to invite us to sing. They are on their way to pick me up."
When Lin Shuxing heard that Lin Shuyue's colleague was coming to pick her up for a party, she stood up immediately and said, "Ah Jun, grill more crayfish quickly. I'll go pack up the remaining crayfish in the pot. Ah Yue's colleague wants to invite her out to play."
"Okay." Luo Zhengjun grilled all the meat and vegetarian skewers nearby. Lin Shuyang was fanning the fire vigorously with a rice dumpling leaf fan. Lou Fengqin stopped chatting with Ah Hao's grandmother, Grandma Fang, and packed some mooncakes and fruits from the house.
There are many people at home today and a lot of food has been prepared. Everyone has almost finished eating and can't eat anymore. Lin Shuyue is going to the party, which is a good opportunity to digest some of the food at home.
Lin Shuyue was like an outsider, just watching them busying around.
While Lin Shuxing was packing the things skillfully, he said to Lin Shuyue, "Ah Yue, you must build good relationships with the people in your company and don't easily get into conflicts with them. Of course, you can't be too weak either. If someone bullies you, you have to bully them back."
Lin Shuxing went out into the society early, and she passed on all her experiences to Lin Shuyue. She was worried that Lin Shuyue would not get along well with her colleagues, and wanted Lin Shuyue to build good relationships with others. However, she was also afraid that Lin Shuyue would appear too weak and be bullied.
She's worrying a lot. But Lin Shuyue liked the feeling of being worried about, so she didn't tell Lin Shuxing that no one in the newspaper office would bully her, and just listened to Lin Shuxing obediently.
When Luo Zhengjun's meat was almost grilled, the crayfish and other things were packed up, and Lin Shuyue went to change her clothes. Li Mingfang and the others also arrived. Lin Shuyue was pushed out of the house and got into the back seat of the car.
Sitting in the car, enjoying the air-conditioning, her eyes moved back and forth between Li Weisheng and Li Mingfang. Li Mingfang seemed unaware and continued talking to Li Weisheng in a familiar tone.
When they arrived, Li Weisheng carried a large bag of things that Lin Shuyue had brought from home and quickly entered the box. Lin Shuyue put her arm around Li Mingfang's shoulders and said, "Comrade Ah Fang, tell me the truth. What happened between you and Comrade Li Weisheng?"
Li Mingfang looked at Lin Shuyue shyly and said, "Ah Yue, what do you think of Li Weisheng?"
Lin Shuyue felt that Li Weisheng was indeed a decent man, but she said quietly, "I remember a female comrade once told me that Li Weisheng was very arrogant and annoying."
How could Li Mingfang not remember what she had said? She groaned, gently pushed Lin Shuyue, and stamped her feet: "You are so annoying."
Lin Shuyue sighed: "People are not as good as new. Before, someone told me that I was the best, but it has only been a short time and I have become a disgusting person."
After Lin Shuyue finished speaking, she burst out laughing.
Li Mingfang also laughed: "I'm talking to you seriously. Recently, Li Weisheng has been texting and calling me whenever he has nothing to do. Sometimes he would wait for me to take me home. Today he even gave me a bouquet of flowers. I think after getting to know him, he's a pretty good guy."
"Then just try to get along with each other." Lin Shuyue chatted with her about her friend's concerns and went to the private room on the second floor.
Huang Qiang invited quite a few people. Some were singing with microphones, some were rolling dice and drinking. When Lin Shuyue's barbecued crayfish arrived, the atmosphere in the entire box was taken to a new level.
As Lin Shuyue was a famous figure in the newspaper, she was toasted with a lot of wine. By the end of the drinking, she felt a little dazed.
It was three o'clock when everyone dispersed. Those who could take a taxi had already taken one, leaving only Lin Shuyue, Li Mingfang, Huang Qiang and Li Weisheng. All four of them had drunk quite a bit of alcohol and had no intention of driving.
There was a paper mill next to the KTV. Li Mingfang drank a little too much and ran to the alley next to the paper mill to vomit. It was pitch black there, and the alley led to the residential area behind it, with many twists and turns. Lin Shuyue was afraid of something happening, so she followed her.
After Li Mingfang vomited, she leaned against the wall and walked out slowly. Lin Shuyue supported her and followed behind her. Huang Qiang and Li Weisheng met them outside.
At this moment, Lin Shuyue suddenly heard the sound of chaotic footsteps in the alley behind her. Lin Shuyue paused, and Li Mingfang took two steps, but was pulled back by Lin Shuyue: "Ah Yue, what's wrong?"
Lin Shuyue hushed at her and turned on the good and evil radar. Then she could clearly see that about a hundred meters away from her, five people with good and evil values of 50-60 were chasing a person with a good and evil value of 5%. And the person with a good and evil value of 5% was running slower and slower.
Lin Shuyue was drunk and had a second-year student spirit. She took out a brick from her bag and ran away. Li Mingfang didn't understand why, but she saw Lin Shuyue's actions, picked up a half-broken brick from the side and ran after her.
The taxi had already arrived. Huang Qiang and Li Weisheng were negotiating with the taxi driver. When they turned around, they saw Lin Shuyue and the other person running away. They were both stunned. When they reacted, Li Weisheng immediately caught up with them. Huang Qiang apologized to the taxi driver from behind and caught up with them amid the taxi driver's constant yelling of "crazy".
After chasing for hundreds of meters, Lin Shuyue saw in the dim light four or five men holding 50-centimeter machetes chasing a young short-haired girl. The short-haired girl must have been injured and a lot of blood was dripping along the way.
Seeing that a machete was about to hit the short-haired girl, Lin Shuyue stopped and threw the brick in her hand. Her throwing technique was very good, and the brick had special powers. The machete of the man who was chopping using the machete could not be used anymore, and he felt dizzy.
God helped Lin Shuyue. There was a batch of red bricks on her right side. Lin Shuyue threw the bricks over there without thinking. Li Mingfang also ran over. She was dizzy. Seeing Lin Shuyue throwing the drill, she also went over to throw. She practiced shot put in elementary school. She had not forgotten what she had learned over the years. Although she was dizzy, she had not forgotten the throwing technique.
The four or five men never expected that two people would come up behind them and throw bricks. The attacks came so fast and so fast that they couldn't even react in time and were hit by several bricks.
It really hurts when a brick hits someone. The five thugs could only hide everywhere, but the brick seemed to have eyes and they couldn't avoid it no matter how hard they tried.
Finally, they were hit so hard that they were unable to move, and one or two of them fainted. Li Weisheng and Huang Qiang also caught up with them.
They looked at the people lying in the red bricks and gasped. Huang Qiang immediately took out his cell phone to call the police, and Li Weisheng called 120.
After Lin Shuyue was sure there was no danger, she walked up to see the short-haired girl. She was leaning against the wall, holding her stomach, with a dazed look in her eyes. Lin Shuyue took out her phone and took a picture of her face: "It's you?"
The short-haired girl also saw Lin Shuyue's face clearly. A smile appeared on the corners of her pale mouth. She put something in her hand, which was something similar to a memory card, into Lin Shuyue's hand. She moved closer to Lin Shuyue and said, "Xinxin said that you have a keen sense and should have known what we do. If I can't wake up, you take this thing to Pengcheng Military Region and give it to a man named Liang Mingyu. Don't give it to anyone else except Liang Mingyu. Don't forget. Don't forget."
The short-haired girl held Lin Shuyue's hand tightly, staring at her intently, blood slowly oozing out from the corner of her mouth: "You must remember my words, you must remember my words. Three of us have already died to get this thing, don't let them down."
The remaining drunkenness of Lin Shuyue disappeared completely at this moment, and she nodded at Hu Xinrui.
One of the gangsters climbed up, but was knocked unconscious again by Li Mingfang who hit him with a brick from behind.
Lin Shuyue secretly took out the life-saving pill from her backpack, poured one into her palm, and put it into Hu Xinrui's mouth. The life-saving pill melted in her mouth, and her breathing immediately became stronger.
Lin Shuyue was wearing a white dress tonight, and her dress was covered with blood. She put the things that Hu Xinrui gave her into the system backpack.
Li Mingfang was sober now, but she still remembered what happened just now. She was completely stunned. She really couldn't imagine that she would have such a feat in her life.
Hu Xinrui's consciousness finally faded at this moment. She fell into Lin Shuyue's arms, still mumbling in a low voice: "Don't forget, don't forget."
Lin Shuyue responded to her: "Don't worry, don't worry."
