Chapter 111 Life Story
Old Mrs. Wu said that the immortal repeatedly stressed that the child's background must not be revealed, that she must be raised safely, and that she must go to school! Otherwise, the Wu family's fortune would be ruined, and disasters would befall them, especially for the Wu family's descendants...
After discussing it for a while, it was finally Old Lady Wu who made the decision. She took the money given by the immortal and rented a remote house in her sister's village. She planned to live there for half a year and then go back. She would say that the baby was born by Wang Guilan. Anyway, people were short of food and clothing everywhere these days. With this windfall, Wu Dashan could make a living by doing odd jobs.
Unexpectedly, not long after taking care of Wu Tong, Wang Guilan felt unwell. She asked someone to take her pulse and found that she was pregnant after three years of no pregnancy! This made everyone very happy. Not only Mrs. Wu, but even Wang Guilan and her husband were completely impressed by the immortal.
It was not until Wu Jiafu was born and the baby was a little older that the group returned to Yunshan Village. They then said that Wu Tong and Wu Jiafu were twins. Anyway, the girl was thin to begin with, and when placed next to Wu Jiafu, it was impossible to tell that she was ten months older. Then they told everyone they met that the Bodhisattva in the Daxian Temple was magical and gave birth to twins.
Wang Guilan was nice to Wu Tong in the first few years, but with the birth of Wu Dongling and Wu Jiabao, the number of people feeding the family increased. In addition, Old Lady Wu always kept the money given by the immortal in her own hands, so Wang Guilan gradually lost her patience with Wu Tong.
Later, as they grew older, the Wu family's awe of the Immortal was not as strong anymore, except that they kept Wu Tong's life experience a secret, for fear that it would ruin the Wu family's fortune and bring disaster.
Wu Tong had long since gone from a lucky star to a calamity star. Her whole family either beat or scolded her, and regarded her as unnecessary. Wang Guilan repeatedly wanted to marry her off, thinking that she couldn't waste all these years of food, and she had to get her money back...
Wang Guilan's narration was intermittent. Su Tong pieced together the story based on what she said and what Old Lady Wu and the old uncle said, and fell into deep thought.
After Wang Guilan finished speaking, she stared at Su Tong with a crazy look on her face.
"I don't care whether you are a fairy or a monster, a lucky star or a disaster star. You come to my Wu family. I have raised you for all these years. You have to save Jiafu! You have to save him!"
"You did raise her! But you destroyed her with your own hands! Killed her! She came to the Wu family to work like a slave! But you pushed her to a dead end! Wu Tong is dead! She was forced to death by your family!"
Su Tong stared at Wang Guilan coldly and spoke word by word in a voice that only she could hear.
Wang Guilan widened her eyes in horror, and then suddenly let out a scream:
“Ah!!! Ghost—you are not Wu Tong! You are not Wu Tong!”
The guard grabbed her and said, "Be quiet!" Then he turned around and left with her.
Wang Guilan turned back stubbornly, only to see Su Tong smiling faintly, "Yes! I am not Wu Tong, I am Su Tong."
The screams stopped abruptly, Wang Guilan's eyes rolled back and she fainted. The guards dragged her directly to the infirmary.
When Su Tong walked out of the visiting room, Qin Yi was standing in the corridor with his arms folded, thinking, as tall as a pine tree.
When he saw her coming out, he lowered his arms and said to her:
"How's it going? Did you get the answer you wanted?"
Su Tong nodded, then smiled self-deprecatingly, "I am not the Wu family's biological child."
Qin Yi was a little surprised and was silent for a moment before saying:
"Indeed, you have nothing in common with the Wu family."
Su Tong calmed down, looked up and said to Qin Yi:
"I've finished my work. Let's go! Where are you taking me?"
Now it was Qin Yi's turn to be surprised. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Tong with complicated eyes, but did not respond.
Su Tong asked again, "Isn't it? You didn't let Brother Xing come with you, and you asked me to bring a letter to Old Lin and Old Qi. Don't you have other plans?"
Even though Qin Yi was always serious, he couldn't help but chuckle and said:
"Su Tong, you often give me the illusion that you don't look like a girl who grew up in Yunshan Village. You look more like my comrade-in-arms, and you're even more perceptive than them."
In fact, it's not just that she is sensitive. After learning about her own life experience, this girl was able to calm down so quickly. She was not sad, lost, or self-pitying. Few people can be as insightful as she is.
Su Tong smiled when he heard Qin Yi's words, Comrades?
How could she not long to stand shoulder to shoulder with her comrades again, to return to the front lines and pick up a scalpel? Although those days were filled with blood and danger, they were passionate and pure, allowing people to live to the fullest and feel the freshness and preciousness of life most truly.
Moreover, compared to the people in the village, she is indeed more willing to deal with Qin Yi and Lin Li. She is more accustomed and comfortable with them, and they are closer to her previous state. This may be the reason why she wants to do her part in this case.
Her thoughts wandered for a moment, and then she asked, "Is Yao Ping imprisoned in the county?"
Qin Yi nodded with approval in his eyes and said, "Yao Ping is currently in the county hospital. If you are not in a hurry, why not go and see him?"
Su Tong nodded, "Okay."
The county hospital is not far away.
With Qin Yi's presence, Su Tong easily entered the heavily guarded ward and saw Yao Ping lying on the hospital bed.
This is a young man with a dark yellow complexion and an ordinary appearance. If you don’t notice the viciousness in his eyes, you can hardly find him in the crowd.
Yao Ping's injuries were more serious than Su Tong had imagined. Not to mention the broken arm, his right calf alone was a comminuted fracture and it would take two or three months for him to recover to normal. Several external injuries on his body were also very deep, and it was obvious that they were caused by the bamboo stakes in the trap.
When I was inserting the bamboo stakes, I only thought that if they were not sharp enough, they would not be able to penetrate the fur of the animals. Who would have thought that someone would fall down from that desolate mountain...
Su Tong sighed, looked at Qin Yi and shook his head. With Yao Ping's injuries, no matter how powerful the medical skills were, it would be impossible for him to recover to the point where he could walk on the mountain roads in a short period of time.
Su Tong knew Yao Ping's importance in this case and felt a little depressed when he walked out of the hospital.
"Although the trap helped catch someone, it also caused him to be seriously injured. I don't know if this is considered a help or a hindrance?"
Qin Yi looked at Su Tong. This girl was cold and calm most of the time, but she was rarely depressed. A smile flashed in his eyes and he said:
"Although Yao Ping's position in the organization is not high, he is responsible for external liaisons. We obtained a lot of details and clues from him that Ma Liu was not aware of, which was of great help to the case."
"Moreover, Yao Ping is a shrewd and cunning person, and he has good physical fitness. We have been chasing him for three days and three nights before we fell into the trap. If we hadn't fallen into the trap, we would have had to spend more manpower and time..."
Su Tong knew that Qin Yi wanted to counsel her, but she was not in a good mood. She knew how important a key person was in a case, especially since Yao Ping had a direct impact on a series of subsequent actions.
Seeing that she was still unhappy, Qin Yi was silent for a moment before asking:
"How is your injury recovering? If you want to run long distances..."
Su Tong's eyes lit up and he turned to look at him.
"I have no problem."
Qin Yi looked at her suddenly bright pupils, and raised the corners of his lips slightly, "Your sensitivity is comparable to that of my scouts."
Su Tong asked directly: "Can we go see Ma Liu?"
Qin Yi nodded and said, "Ma Liu is now detained in a neighboring province. It will take five or six hours to drive there."
"What are we waiting for? Let's go!"
