Chapter 611 The current situation of the Du family
"...It can be said that the family situation has changed dramatically. The family is living like a refugee, and they have to suffer from the calculations and torment of others. It can only be said that they are still alive."
Wang Yinglong's introduction was more detailed than He Changwen's, perhaps because he learned more about it along the way.
"So is there anything new?"
"There really is..." Wang Yinglong looked into the courtyard and then whispered: "That boy got caught in the heavy smoke. I thought he was useless at first, but something happened on the road and I realized that I had underestimated him.
He quit smoking directly on the boat. He didn't tie him up or lock him up. He didn't even ask anyone to help him. He squatted in the corner of the cabin alone for three days and three nights when he got on the boat. During this period, he only drank some water and said nothing.
Come on even if you die.
This guy is definitely a ruthless character. Over the years, I have often seen people suffering from heavy smoking addiction and rolling around on the floor. I have also seen many people quit smoking, but I have never seen him like this."
Lin Mo listened, became interested, and asked Wang Yinglong to explain the situation in detail. After listening, he was silent for a long time. Lin Mo had to admit that this was so cruel that even he...
"Let's go! Let me take a look at a few people..."
It has to be said that Lin Mo never likes to treat people badly. Although this yard is not antique, it is kept clean and tidy, and the windows have been specially replaced with new transparent glass.
The Du family, mother and daughter, rested in the side room. It was not that they were not allowed to live in the master bedroom, but compared to the narrow side room, they were very resistant to the spacious master bedroom. The same was true for the three of them living together.
Lin Mo just came and took a quick look inside the room, and his heart trembled violently. On the big bed in the room, his little daughter was sleeping in it. She was curled up in the quilt and could only bulge.
The eldest daughter was facing the window, with one hand outside the quilt, as if to protect the younger sister. Mother Du was sleeping on the outermost side, as if protecting the two daughters. Lin Mo just glanced at it, and Mother Du opened her eyes, her whole body
moment……
Lin Mo's heart felt like it was being pulled hard, and it was painful. He couldn't imagine what this family had gone through. Maybe it was like Wang Yinglong said, just... alive...
Turning around silently, Lin Mo did not disturb them, but his heart was filled with panic and his eyes became wet involuntarily.
Lin Mo stood in the courtyard for a long time, adjusting his mood, and his heart became firm again. Although the Du family is miserable, but China is so vast, I don't know how many of them are like it, or even worse, let alone the upcoming eight years!
Du Zhaoxue's younger brother, Du Zhaowen, lived in a small side room directly opposite the door. It was backlit and seemed a little dark. Lin Mo leaned toward the window and froze in his tracks.
"Thump...thump..." Lin Mo seemed to hear his own heartbeat, and for a moment all the sounds around him seemed to disappear, including the wind, the chirping of birds, the chirping of insects...
Following Lin Mo's gaze, open eyes appeared behind the window. Lin Mo didn't know how to describe it. He just felt that his whole body was frozen, and there was a chill in his heart that even his soul was about to be frozen.
It wasn't until those eyes went away that Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he felt scared and thought about whether he had been too complacent these days? What gave him something to rely on? Let him...
"Zhizhi..." The door opened. Lin Mo put away his thoughts and walked to the door. Du Zhaoxue stood inside the door. The door was very short, and his upper body was hidden in the darkness...
The two of them were separated by the threshold, one seemed to be bathed in the light, and the other half of his body was thrust into the darkness, standing and examining...
"Help me, let me take revenge, I will give you my life..."
Lin Mo couldn't find words to describe the hoarse voice, as if it shouldn't exist in the world and shouldn't be made by humans...
Although he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, Lin Mo's face did not show any signs of trouble. No matter how fierce and ruthless Du Zhaowen was, it was only mental and willful. His skin had long been emptied by the smoke, which posed no threat to him.
"I don't want to use you..." Lin Mo spoke slowly, without saying any reason or reasons, only five words.
"Why?"
The unspeakable voice came again, and every word was spoken with great emphasis, and Lin Mo could even feel the hostility towards him in the tone.
"You have been blinded by hatred. Although you are a sharp sword, if you cannot hold it, it will be nothing more than scrap metal to me."
"We have a common enemy, don't we? You give me a chance and I help you kill people, isn't it enough?"
'It's okay, my mind is still clear.' Lin Mo thought secretly in his heart. He was just trying to understand. How could Lin Mo not want to hold a sharp sword? Unfortunately, now it seems that it is a double-edged sword. It can kill the enemy sharply, but it can also hurt oneself.
.
"The enemy is powerful and numerous. Even if you kill them like pigs, you won't be able to kill them all in your lifetime.
I need a knife, a sharp knife to kill the enemy, but only if I can wield it like an arm, take it out of the sheath when I need it, and stay in the sheath when I don’t need it.”
After Lin Mo finished speaking, Du Zhaowen took a long breath and said in a deep voice: "Who is behind the persecution of our family, can you tell me?"
"Japanese..." Lin Mo said directly without any hesitation.
Hearing this, Du Zhaowen's body seemed to sway. He probably didn't know anything about it, maybe he just guessed that someone was plotting against them behind the scenes.
"What...are they trying to do with my family?..."
As soon as these words came out, Lin Mo understood. It seemed that Wang Yinglong and the others had a strong sense of confidentiality and really didn't reveal anything.
"Someone is interested in your family's property, someone is interested in your family, and someone wants you to be a hostage."
"Is it the eldest sister? No... no... no, it's the eldest... brother?" Du Zhaowen's tone trembled slightly as he thought of the blurred figure, leaving only the person his mother and eldest sister would mention from time to time.
It seems that his mind has woken up a lot, and his brain is working very fast! Lin Mo thought to himself, it is okay to have the idea of revenge, but it is not necessary to be blinded by hatred. It would be okay if ordinary people repay it, but are they ordinary people?
Is it an ordinary thing?
"You want me to continue standing here? You don't want me to come in and sit down?"
After Lin Mo finished speaking, Du Zhaowen came to his senses and turned away. Lin Mo was not polite and went into the house to find a stool to sit down. As for Wang Yinglong, he wisely stood in the middle of the yard.
"Zhizhi..." Du Zhaowen closed the door and stood aside silently. Whether it was a habit or a subconscious choice, Du Zhaoxue chose the darkest corner of the room.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This detail was captured by Lin Mo, thinking that Du Zhaoxue invited him into the room without turning on the lights. He estimated that these details have been engraved into
Its bone marrow...
"I want to be your sharp sword..."
Du Zhaowen spoke again. This time Lin Mo did not refuse, but asked: "If you leave, what will happen to your mother and sisters?"
Du Zhaowen was silent for a long time before replying: "It's us, father and son, who are causing the mother and daughter to suffer. It might be better for them to leave!"
As long as I am of value to you, I believe someone will take care of them. I just hope that they can live a peaceful life for the rest of their lives."
Lin Mo finally heard the emotion from Du Zhaowen's mouth. Based on the answers he got from a series of previous tests, Lin Mo didn't mind giving him a chance, but he still had some concerns.
"I can give you a chance. It's up to you whether you can seize it or not. If you can't satisfy me, then just live an ordinary life with your mother and sisters. Otherwise, I will get rid of you with my own hands. Don't ask why? Here.
Your two choices have been my mercy.
Also, I would like to remind you that I will only use killing as a means to assist in completing other tasks and to achieve other goals. I cannot let you do it randomly.
I also hope you will think more about it. Although killing is the most direct way, there is a limit to what one person can kill. Sometimes, other methods can make your enemy more painful.
I can understand your hatred and desire to kill, but I don’t want you to be controlled by it, but to control it and let it become the driving force for you to move forward, instead of letting it drag you along."
‘I hope you can figure it out and become what I want and don’t make it difficult for me.’ Lin Mo thought to himself as he looked at Du Zhaowen hiding himself in a dark corner.
Du Zhaowen didn't answer, Lin Mo couldn't see clearly what he was thinking, and the room fell into deep silence again.
"I'm leaving first..." Lin Mo spoke again, stood up and left, only halfway through, and stopped again.
"You want to come with me now?"
"yes……"
Du Zhaowen, who had already stood up and walked a few steps, spoke in a very firm tone.
"Your brother is back, why don't you wait to meet him?"
Du Zhaowen did not respond, but silently walked behind Lin Mo, his attitude was obvious.
'Alas...' Lin Mo sighed inwardly.
It seemed that Du Zhaowen was inevitably filled with hatred for his brother, but it was his brother who saved him and gave him a chance to live a new life. If he didn't see him, he probably just didn't know how to face it.
This was his own business, and Lin Mo chose to respect it, but now was not the time for Du Zhaowen to follow him.
"You don't have to follow me now."
"Why?" This time, Du Zhaowen's tone softened a lot, which made Lin Mo feel a little more at ease.
"You look like a body that has been hollowed out by smoke. If you come with me now, will it be of any use to you?"
Although Lin Mo spoke very directly, Du Zhaowen chose to remain silent and not angry because this was the truth.
Lin Mo was still testing, and Du Zhaowen was not angry because of this, which showed that he was still self-aware and still persisted, which showed that he had a firm mind and no resentment, which showed that...
This performance made Lin Mo feel better about him, and his regard for him also increased.
"Wait for me in the room for a while, and I'll go out and get you something."
After saying that, Lin Mo went out, and Du Zhaowen stood there quietly, silently watching Lin Mo's back.
"Yinglong, do you have any money?"
Wang Yinglong heard this and said: "The money for going north has been almost spent, but for the operations in the north, I received another sum. I converted most of the money into gold and brought it back to me.
Because this time we invited a high-ranking official to deal with the human traffickers, and also invited local gangs to take down the gangs that cooperated with the Japanese. Although we seized a lot, we didn't get much. We exchanged a total of twenty large yellow croakers.
More than sixty small yellow croakers, and the remaining one or two hundred spent on the road were found in the ocean."
"Hmm..." Lin Mo nodded. The numbers matched what He Changwen said. There were ten taels of large yellow croakers and one tael of small yellow croakers, a total of more than 260 taels, which was probably worth more than 20,000 yuan.
It’s not a small amount, but compared to the accumulation of those who were copied over ten, twenty or even more years, the amount received is less. However, Lin Mo also agrees with this division method. After all, everyone involved in the local area must be divided.
Run.
Like the senior official who came forward to help, it is not easy to uproot local forces that have been operating in the area for many years. It will definitely require the use of many personal connections. Lin Lin finally managed to get it, and what he got from helping this senior official may not be as good as Wang Yinglong's.
Returned.
"First withdraw some from me, one large yellow croaker, five small yellow croakers, and then some tens of yuan. I will make up for it when you get back. Remember not to mention it to anyone."
"Understood..." Wang Yinglong responded, turned around and entered the room next to the gate, and came back soon with a money bag and two small cloth bags.
Lin Mo took a look and saw two small cloth bags containing large and small yellow croakers. In addition to dozens of pieces of cash, there were also some scattered copper coins in the wallet. Lin Mo nodded to Wang Yinglong with satisfaction and turned back to Du Zhaowen's room.
"Take this money and leave by yourself to find a place to stay in the city. Take good care of your body first and remember to exercise more. Without a good body, all your thoughts and plans will be just thoughts and plans for the rest of your life."
Putting the money into Du Zhaowen's arms, these things were finally worth more than a thousand oceans. As long as Du Zhaowen didn't act like a monster, it was enough for him to spend.
"You don't need to save money, as long as you feel you should spend it, just spend it. If you don't need this little money, what I need is for you to turn the money into your own abilities."
After finishing speaking, I thought of a question and continued to ask: "How many years have you studied?"
Du Zhaowen heard this and replied: "I have never formally attended school, but my eldest sister taught me how to read and digit, and I also taught myself with elementary school textbooks at home, so I have an elementary school education."
"Not enough..." Lin Mo shook his head, thought for a moment, and said, "In this way, if you go to the city and live near the university, the university is still relatively relaxed. You can try to study in classes, or ask students to teach you.
Cultural knowledge will be more important to you in the future, I will ask someone to send you some books, remember to save them and study them."
Lin Mo also had another consideration in letting Du Zhaowen contact the university. He wanted the relatively special environment of the university to soothe his mind.
After all, the school is called an ivory tower. Compared with the big dye vat of society, it is purer. At the same time, the young, enthusiastic and passionate students are also very infectious.
Knowledge is also a weapon to arm people. Although the primary school education level is far beyond that of many people in this era, Lin Mo seems to be not enough.
After thinking about it, Lin Mo gave Du Zhaowen an address and said: "The owner of the framing shop speaks Japanese fluently. I will think of a way for you to go over and learn from him. The time is set to be one month later. You can do it by yourself."
past.
The shop owner should have other skills. If you can learn them, that would be the best. Of course, the prerequisite is that they teach you voluntarily, don't use any dirty methods, and the other party is also a person with status.
As for learning other skills, after you take good care of your body and lay a solid foundation, I will make arrangements for you depending on the situation. You can rest assured that top people will definitely teach you. It just depends on how much you can learn.
You're on your own."
After arranging future contacts, joints, passwords, etc., Lin Mo took Wang Yinglong and left.
