Chapter 32 31. The Mystery of the Pigeon
Ling Yunpeng asked Ah Hui to pretend to be a pilgrim and wait for him at the Main Hall, while he went to Leng Jinqiu's dormitory to say goodbye to his adoptive father.
"Father, I will entrust you with Hunter. If necessary, you can use carrier pigeons to send messages to Qingfengling."
Leng Jinqiu nodded: "Don't worry, I won't make mistakes."
"Father, my son still has many things that he must do against time. He cannot be with his adoptive father. I hope he will forgive me." Ling Yunpeng said with guilt.
"Yunpeng, you are a person who does great things. My adoptive father has always been proud of you. Don't get involved. Just do what you want to do with peace of mind. Don't worry about me." Leng Jinqiu's voice was trembling.
.
With a plop, Ling Yunpeng knelt down and bowed to Leng Jinqiu: "My dear, farewell to my adoptive father."
After saying that, Ling Yunpeng kowtowed three times to Leng Jinqiu.
Old Leng Jinqiu shed tears and tremblingly helped Ling Yunpeng up.
Ling Yunpeng couldn't help but burst into tears, then wiped his tears, turned around and walked out of Leng Jinqiu's dormitory.
Leng Jinqiu stood silently at the door, looking at Ling Yunpeng's retreating figure: "Amitabha, good, good."
Ling Yunpeng came to the Main Hall, where he saw A Hui looking east and west at a glance, so he signaled to him, and then the two left Ci'an Temple and headed towards Penglai Village.
"Ah Hui, when we return to Penglai Village later, you and I will split up into two groups. Go to Brother Qin's place quickly. My two carrier pigeons are still at his place. I forgot to tell him that they are carrier pigeons. I
I’m worried that this guy Siming will cook and eat those two pigeons.”
"Yes, yes, I have to snatch the food from the tiger's mouth immediately. Then boss, where are you going?"
"I went to look around that cemetery. Hunter said that Captain Williams landed near that cemetery. I went to check it out last night. Unfortunately, it was too dark and I didn't find anything. Now I can take advantage of the bright light in broad daylight.
, I will search carefully, maybe I can find some clues. We will meet at Brother Qin's house later." Ling Yunpeng has always been concerned about the safety of Captain Williams. Among the five people, this captain is the only one who has not been arrested yet.
turn up.
"Okay, then it's settled."
After entering Penglai Village, Ling Yunpeng and Ah Hui parted ways. Ling Yunpeng headed towards the cemetery, while Ah Hui walked quickly towards Qin Shouren's house.
Today is Sunday and there is no need to go to school. After Siming got up early in the morning, he heard the "coo" sound of pigeons. He followed the sound and saw a birdcage hanging under the eaves of the house. There were two birdcages in it.
The cute gray-blue pigeon is looking out curiously.
"Dad, dad." Siming went to Qin Shouren to ask about the pigeons.
"Your father went to the village for inspection." Yueru heard Siming calling outside and walked out of the bedroom.
"Mom, come and see." Siming pulled Yueru to the eaves of the corridor, pointed at the birdcage and asked, "Mom, where did this pigeon come from?"
"I don't know." Yueru shook her head.
"Dad bought it from the market, right?" Siming asked curiously.
Si Hui came out of the house, heard Siming's question, and quickly said: "Our family has a tight life every month, how can my father have spare money to buy pigeons?"
"I guess my father bought it to entertain Brother Ling and Brother Ah Hui. My father is so proud that yesterday's dinner was all vegetarian. He felt embarrassed, so he went to the market today and bought two pigeons.
Let's entertain Brother Ling and the others well," Siming thought.
"Brother Ling, didn't they leave last night? Are they still coming to my house?" Sihui asked, blinking.
"Perhaps they haven't finished their illness yet and come to see dad for a follow-up consultation?" Siming has a good impression of Ling Yunpeng and hopes he can come to his home again.
"Then could this pigeon belong to Brother Ling and be considered as medical treatment fee?" Sihui looked at the pair of pigeons and said to herself.
"Hey, it's possible, maybe it is!" Siming felt that what Sihui said made sense.
"Let me tell you, I saw your father secretly counting money in the room last night!" Yue Ru whispered.
"Really?" Si Hui and Siming asked in unison with their eyes wide open.
"I saw it with my own eyes. He was holding a lot of oceans in his hands!" Yueru said confidently.
"When did my father have so much money, and still hold a lot of money in his hand? Mom, you must be crazy about money, right?" Sihui glanced at Yueru with disdain.
Seeing Sihui questioning her, Yueru quickly explained: "Why did I lie to you? Do you still remember the remittances that the patient named An Ran sent to your father?"
"Didn't my father say that he didn't remember seeing a doctor named An Ran? He was afraid that he had made a mistake, so he wouldn't let us touch the money, saying we couldn't take it because it was unclear money." Sihui remembered.
, it is true that a man named An Ran sent my father several remittances. Every time when my father got the money back, he put the money in a big iron box, locked it in the drawer, and did not let him touch it, saying that he would need it later.
Give it back to the person named An Ran.
"I slept in a daze last night and saw your father getting up secretly, opening the drawer, taking out the big iron box from the drawer, and sitting by the bed counting the oceans one by one!" Yue Ru said vividly.
Describing what she saw last night.
"Mom, you are probably dreaming that my father will make a fortune." Siming laughed.
"Look, you two siblings don't believe me, right? I have a hard life. I haven't enjoyed a few days of happiness since I married your father. I've just been eating chaff. Since your father quit teaching,
After I was born, I became even more difficult for a clever woman to make a living without rice. As time went by, the situation became more and more tight. Your father was thin-skinned and could not save face. He was unwilling to reach out to others for begging, forcing me to often lick my old face and ask relatives and friends to borrow money to survive.
I have borrowed food to live on, and I have been able to earn a meager income from Ankang Hall in the past few years. It is a pity that after demolishing the east wall, repairing the west wall, and paying off the credit from relatives and friends, there is not much left." Yue Ru.
Lament the bitter experience to the siblings.
"Mom, you are nagging me like this again." Sihui disagreed with her mother's complaints: "My father is a man of character. He will not give up for five buckets of rice, and he will not beg for food from the Japanese even if he starves to death."
"Huh, that's the poor spirit of a literati. He doesn't give up for five buckets of rice. If a person is as hungry as a piece of paper, then when the strong wind blows, he will still have to give up, and maybe even die!" Yue Rujian said.
My daughter helped Shouren speak and couldn't help but complain.
Sihui glanced at her mother and retorted: "Mom, are you done yet? Dad is the backbone of our family. Without Dad's Ankang Hall, our family would have gone to the northwest."
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore. You are a heartless person and you just know how to protect your father. Okay, I'm going to wash clothes by the river. You two will make lunch together later." Yueru picked up a bag with a bag.
With a large pile of baskets of clothes, I walked out of the yard and went to the river to wash clothes.
