MTL - Entertaining Into Bitterness Drama-Chapter 87 Righteous Path Seven

Lai Jin has a crush on someone.

It was a well-educated young man raised by a wealthy family.

Come to Jin’s breakfast shop on Mercury Road, I have seen the young man sitting in the shop several times, hesitantly and unaccustomed to eating a simple breakfast, dressed in a suit and incompatible with the crowded and noisy market shop , And those men with open arms and mouth full of meat are different, one is exquisite porcelain, the other is a large stoneware bowl.

He ignored others and only looked at Lai Jin, the obsession in his eyes was obvious.

When he was there, Laijin was different from before. She no longer rolled up her sleeves and yelled at those men, and when she found fault, she would not pull out the iron in the stove to get started. The young man tried his best to remain decent and dignified.

She has lived with Mercury for a few years, and she has never been able to learn the calmness of Mercury, and she does not want to learn, but now she naturally begins to imitate Mercury, just to show it in front of the people she likes better.

When Mercury thought about it, she realized that she had witnessed the growth of several children. Laijin also came to such a moment.

She smiled more, took out her small money box, gritted her teeth and took out a little to buy cream and hair flowers, and her clothes were naturally changed to brighter ones— ——She didn't care about these things when she went to work before, she just said that she was very busy with things every day, and it was a pity to wear old clothes to avoid getting dirty.

From her mood when she came home every day, Mercury could guess whether the young man went to see her today. Laijin also thought that he was doing a good job of hiding it from her, and he was careful not to mention the young man when he spoke.

She probably thought that Mercury would not agree to her being with that young man, and she was sweet with trepidation, but in fact Mercury didn't want to stop it. Many times she didn't put herself in the position of a parent, and this kind of thing would not develop in a good direction because of her blocking, otherwise, how did so many tragic love stories against feudal parents come from ancient and modern China and abroad.

The situation in Mei City has been bad in the past two years, and it is not very stable. Celebrities and wealthy households from all walks of life have different support targets.

An army is about to withdraw from Mei City and go south, and many big households who are related to their interests will also follow. For a while, Mercury found that Lai Jin was in a different mood. He was often in a daze with heavy thoughts. One night, he quietly went out and came back after a long time.

Mercury listened in the room and sighed quietly and quietly.

She made a gold bracelet in the silver building. It is a small gold bracelet that is a hundred years old and safe. The style is very classic. It is usually worn for the children at home. Mercury's request made a pomegranate flower pattern on it.

"Manager Li, did you buy this for the younger generation at home?" The master chatted with her.

Mercury is now the small shopkeeper of the Silver Building, and she smiled and replied casually: "Yes, the child is leaving, think of her."

The master weighed the weight of the bracelet and gave her a thumbs up, "Manager Li is really generous."

One evening, Laijin made a table of good dishes and waited for her at home.

"I have received a lot of care from Master over the years. I really see you as my biological mother."

Mercury did not speak.

"I...I have someone I like, and he likes me very much, and I want to marry him. You said, you can do whatever you want, so I decided to go with him I'm sorry..."

Mercury finally shook her head, "I'm sorry for what you said to me, everyone can only be responsible for themselves, even if I'm really your parent, I can't make a decision for you."

What she said was not heavy and her tone was calm, but Laijin burst into tears, sobbing and took out her precious money box and pushed it all in front of her, "This is what I saved for your retirement."

This is the first time that this little money fan is so generous I, put it on."

The name Laijin has been called for so many years, and this is the first time she wears gold jewelry. Feeling the unexpected gold bracelet, I don't know what it's like, and all of a sudden, tears are pouring down like rain, and the girl who is usually bright and pungent is choked and speechless at this moment.

At dawn, the courtyard door creaked, and Lai Jin quietly left.

The young man she likes, surnamed Wang, is the nephew of the family of a general's wife who was evacuated from the army, and their family will also go with them. She said goodbye hastily.

Life seems to be no different after Laijin leaves, Mercury is still carrying a jug of tea in the silver building to practice calligraphy and do business, and occasionally hear some rumors about Laijin, she doesn't say anything What, like an old gentleman who has been in good health for many years, on the contrary, the young guys on the street are very lost for a while, and they can't see the beautiful young boss, as if they are not so energetic in their work on weekdays.

Mercury doesn’t cook by herself, she works with others and pays the money to eat. Occasionally, when she’s in the mood or she’s greedy, she’ll go to the market to buy a hoof or chop a duck by herself. She went back and simmered for a few hours on the small stove she bought before she came to Jin, until the skin was crispy and the meat was rotten. She lay on the reclining chair next to her, smelling the aroma of the meat, and waiting to eat.

After another year of such days, the situation became more and more chaotic, and the war finally spread to Mei City. Both the upper classes and the civilians in the city were in constant panic. Shops are closed.

Their silver building was temporarily closed for two days, but it couldn't be closed all the time. After all, they still had to do business to earn a living, but the shopkeeper Tian himself did not dare to go to the silver building, so he discussed with Mercury Silver. let her go.

There is nothing wrong with Mercury, she has experienced chaos in the previous world, she is not afraid of this situation, and she goes to get off work every day as usual.

I heard that the invading army temporarily occupied Meishi. The most arrogant people in Meishi are those pro-Japanese factions, of which Jiu Ye is the most famous one. He used to be a famous big businessman. After he made a fortune in the war, his business became bigger and bigger. Now he provides arms, weapons and various medicines from abroad to the invading army.

These tight goods made him a lot of money, and also brought him the "friendship" of the invading army. There are a large group of thugs under the family, and it is impossible to know how many people have been ruined just by selling tobacco.

Many people privately scolded the group of people headed by Jiu Ye as big traitors. The blood of speaking has been drained.

Mercury remembered that in the original plot, Lai Jin was with Jiu Ye and became a victim when his big ship was destroyed, so she thought maybe it was a good thing that she left with the young man.

Reading the newspaper every day is a habit of Mercury after she arrived in Mei City. She grew up in the era of information explosion and knows the importance of information. The headline of this day was that Jiuye was assassinated. He invited some senior officials of the invading army to have fun at the most famous venue in his name. He was assassinated by suspected members of the resistance army, but the assassination failed.

Mercury looked at the picture in the newspaper and frowned unconsciously.

There is a photo of Jiuye being helped to get into the car on the newspaper page. Mercury's eyes are fixed on the woman next to Jiuye, even if it is such an unclear black and white picture, it will not affect The beauty of a woman.

She has changed a lot from the time she left here more than a year ago. Her youthful aura has disappeared, and she has become a mature woman with all kinds of charm.

That's cash.

Mercury closed the door of the silver building ahead of schedule that day, and went to the vicinity of Jiuye Mansion. After two days in a row, she finally saw Laijin.

She was sitting in a slow-moving car, followed by the guards of the invading army in front of and behind the car, and there were vigilant black coat thugs on both sides.

Across the car window, Mercury saw Laijin's delicate eyebrows and red lips, fashionable and elegant, and a neat fox fur coat, completely different from Laijin in her memory. Like the gold in the original plot.

Mercury stood on the side of the street and looked at Lai Jin in the car, Lai Jin's bright smile froze for a moment, and immediately lowered his head subconsciously, as if he wanted to hide, that point Hasty and cramped, Mercury is familiar with, and she reacted like this when she did something bad in the past.

As he walked back along the slightly empty street with his hands in his sleeves, Mercury thought, will this child still be like the original plot?

At night, there was a knock on the door of the courtyard.

There was no sound outside the door, but Mercury smelled a faint scent of perfume, she was relieved, opened the door, and there was gold standing outside the door. On a cold day, she stepped on a pair of small leather shoes, with bare calves, a fur coat on her upper body, and a string of pearl necklaces on her slender neck.

"...Master." She looked at her feet dully.

Mercury let her in.

Then she heard a story that was not new. Soon after taking her away from Wang Shuye, the young man Laijin liked, he became tired of her character, thought she was "vulgar", and ran away because of her There were all kinds of troubles on the road, and there was no interest in playing with her. In the end, their army was unfortunate enough to encounter the invading army, and Wang Shuye hurriedly sent her out to be courteous.

"...After that, I moved to Jiuye's side." After Lai Jin said this briefly, he seemed a little silent, "Are you disappointed in me?"

Before Mercury made a sound, she unconsciously touched the gold bracelet on her wrist and said, "You must be disappointed, you didn't like the invading army before, I am now hanging out with that kind of person Together, everyone calls me a traitor, and you must also…”

She couldn't go on, she gave a bleak smile, and suddenly said with a cry: "I don't want a lot of money, I want to go back to the past, when I was still with you, Stay by your side and go nowhere."

That being said, she knew it was impossible.

Mercury raised her hand and touched her head, with a soft but calm tone, "What are you afraid of, I can take you out of here."

Laijin's eyes lit up first, then she didn't know what to think, and her eyes dimmed, "In this world, isn't it the same wherever you go, it's easy for people to live, but if they want to have dignity How hard is it to live with freedom."

She stroked her smooth and tender cheeks, smiled reluctantly, stood up and said in a low voice, "I should go, I can't come out for too long, there are still people waiting outside."

She walked out of the small courtyard and closed the courtyard gate. When she passed through an alley here, a man in a dark blue short coat stood in the dark and said softly, "Miss Lai Jin, you think carefully Yet?"

Lai Jin parked in the alley, with the car and thugs sent to her by Jiu Ye at the intersection in front, and the home where she had lived for several years in the back, she seemed to be standing on the abyss.

"Okay, I'll help you." For a long time, she heard her own voice like a dream.

After half a month, when Mercury was reading the newspaper, he accidentally knocked over the tea jar, and the tea jar that had been used for several years fell to the ground and shattered. But she didn't care, she picked up the newspaper and carefully read the report above.

Jiuye died, he and several senior officials of the invading army he invited to his home were all assassinated in the mansion, and the luxurious mansion was burned down.

Mercury suddenly had a foreboding.

This hunch was confirmed in the evening, when two people she did not know visited her and brought her Raijin's relic.

A gold bracelet carved with pomegranate flowers.

"Comrade Laijin sacrificed her life for our assassination. Although we can't publicly recognize her achievements, we will always remember her sacrifice."

Mercury took the bracelet and suddenly remembered that a few years ago, when she taught Jin to read, there was a saying that "people are inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather".

At that time, Laijin had two black and oily braids, propped his chin in disapproval, and said, "When a person dies, he dies, and there is nothing left. There is no such thing as light or heavy."

She thought about it at that time, but did not use this popular interpretation, but said to the little girl: "That may be the weight that is on the heart of a person when he is dying, and others think of him. the emotions you feel when you die."

"The heavy pressure is in my heart and I can't push it away, but I forgot it when I stretched out my hand lightly."
