Chapter 23: Transmigrating into a book? I am the vicious female supporting character!
Same place, on the second floor of a teahouse in the county town.
The aroma of tea filled the air in the box, but it could not dispel the solemnity between the three people's brows.
"Commander Tang," Lin Xiaobai tapped the table with his fingertips, a hint of sneer on his lips, "You, the elite of the military region, actually let a half-dead person go to the public trial with a razor blade?"
Tang Jing's eyes were cold and gloomy, his fingertips stroked the rim of the white porcelain cup, and he said nothing.
Gu Zhongzhang laughed dryly to smooth things over: "On the eve of the public trial, someone secretly interrogated Qian Deren..."
"The hand of the capital." Tang Jingmo interrupted coldly.
There was a sudden silence in the box.
"Ahem..." Gu Zhongzhang sipped his tea strategically. "This matter, at this level, we have to talk about the 'scale'."
"Scale?" Xiao Bai raised his eyebrows and looked at Tang Jingmo, "It turns out that there are things that Commander Tang can't control."
"What my sister-in-law said is wrong," Gu Zhongzhang waved his hand quickly, "officialdom is like a chessboard. Even the most powerful generals have to play by the rules..."
"It's an excuse for the weak." Xiao Bai sneered, "In my place, fists are the rules."
Tang Jingmo suddenly raised his eyes, his gaze like a blade: "You can conquer a country with your fists, but you can't keep it."
The air suddenly froze.
Gu Zhongzhang knocked on the tea tray quickly: "Alright, alright! To move the mountain, we need an excavator. It's useless to rely on a shovel even if you work yourself to death." He lowered his voice meaningfully, "Wait, the wind direction...is about to change.
He pulled something out of his pocket and held it in his hand.
"Don't look so sad. Think positively about everything. At least we have dealt with Qian Deren and his gang, which is a good thing for the people of Qinglong County! What's more..."
Gu Zhongzhang winked and opened his palm to reveal the metal fragments inside. "...I didn't write this 'souvenir' on him in the report."
Tang Jingmo grabbed the fragment and said, "I'll keep it. You can leave now."
"You are so quick to destroy the bridge after crossing it! Forget it, I won't bother with you. I'm going to go look for my sister. By the way, is that girl Gu Mingyue doing well in your Longshan Village Youth League Center?"
"Gu Mingyue?" Xiaobai chewed on these three words, his little tiger teeth flashing a faint white light, and the vines in his sleeves were ready to move, "Another childhood sweetheart?"
Tang Jingmo remained calm, and put his slender fingers into her sleeve to hold down the restless vine. "She's just a neighbor's sister, I don't know her well."
He stroked Xiaobai's palm with his fingertips, and gently rubbed her wrist with his calloused fingertips. "Are you jealous?"
The vines shrunk back into his sleeves. Lin Xiaobai's ears turned red, but he still stiffened his neck: "Who cares about your romantic debts!"
"Cough!" Gu Zhongzhang coughed heavily, "I'm full, I'm full," he pretended to cover his stomach and left.
As soon as the door closed, Xiao Bai immediately showed another piece of metal, "This is from Old Man Lin. The old village chief should have another piece."
"Be careful, I feel radiation up there."
"Radiation? I think it's more like energy fluctuations."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two fragments glowed at the same time and sank into Xiaobai's palm.
S01
The golden number appeared again, but this time there were two more objects around it, like a ring that was being repaired.
“Squeak!”
Suddenly the door of the box was pushed open. Xiaobai instantly clenched his five fingers, placed them under the table, and looked towards the door.
It was Gu Zhongzhang who had returned. "Do you want to go back to Longshan Village together?"
——
Longshan Village, a youth sent-down camp.
Gu Mingyue leaned lazily on the head of the kang, her fingertips twirling a strand of black hair as she casually flipped through a book of selected poems.
"Gu Mingyue, why didn't you go to the public trial?" Sister Zheng sewed the soles of shoes while glancing at this eldest lady who always acted eccentrically.
"What's so good about a dead person?" Gu Mingyue didn't even raise her head, and a hint of sneer appeared on her red lips. "Didn't Song Wan go either? Why don't you ask her?"
"She..." Sister Zheng pouted, and the needle and thread shuttled faster on the soles of her shoes. "She has been acting weird since her last high fever, running to the village all day. Didn't you hate those mud-legged people the most in the past?"
Gu Mingyue was absent-minded: "Who knows? I'm not familiar with her."
"Hey, Wang Zhiqing is ignoring you again?" Sister Zheng suddenly lowered her voice with a fake smile on her face, "Calculate the time, the package to your home will arrive soon. Once the package arrives, he will definitely take the initiative to admit his mistake to you and say nice things..."
"Sister Zheng!" Gu Mingyue slammed the book shut, the pages making a crisp sound, "Look at what you are saying. Do you think Wang Aihua is with me just because...? Our revolutionary love can stand the test of time..."
Love? How dare you say that! Sister Zheng secretly complained in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She continued with what Gu Mingyue said.
"Yes, yes, you are right. Sister Zheng is old, and she is not as active as you young people. Sometimes I don't understand..."
The wooden door was pushed open with a creak. Song Wan rushed in, took an enamel cup, poured a glass of water, and drank it down.
"What happened? Was he chased by a dog?" Sister Zheng was the eldest sister at the educated youth site. She cared about everything and would ask questions about everything.
"Much scarier than a dog! I found out..."
Song Wan hesitated and turned to look at Gu Mingyue on the bed.
Her eyes were fixed on Gu Mingyue like a searchlight, making people feel uneasy.
"You...why are you looking at me like that?" Gu Mingyue shrank back unconsciously.
"Gu Mingyue," Song Wan's voice trembled slightly with excitement, "Do you know Tang Jingmo? Yang Xueying? Gu Zhongzhang?"
Sister Zheng joked, "Isn't Gu Zhongzhang her biological brother? They are both from Beijing, and you don't even know about this?"
"Gu Mingyue!" A voice suddenly came from outside, "Your brother is here to see you! Come out quickly!"
"What? The supporting male character is here?!" Song Wan's reaction was even more intense than Gu Mingyue's. She leaped onto the kang with one step, her entire face almost pressed against the window.
"The couple next to them...could they be Tang Jingmo and Yang Xueying?" she muttered to herself.
Sister Zheng came over to take a look and rolled her eyes: "Are you blind? That's Lin Xiaobai from the village."
"Lin Xiaobai?!" Song Wan looked back at Sister Zheng blankly, "Whose family is this? Why haven't I heard of it..."
Sister Zheng knocked her head helplessly, "Lin Shuhua's sister used to be a fool. You even threw stones at her, saying that she had soiled your new clothes..."
Song Wan's forehead was covered with sweat, and she smiled awkwardly: "I have done this before, it's too..."
Halfway through her speech, she suddenly remembered who Lin Xiaobai was!
An insignificant passerby in the book, a poor guy who was accidentally beaten to death by his aunt before he even reached adulthood!
now......
Outside the window, the autumn sun stretched the shadows of the three people very long.
Gu Zhongzhang was talking to Gu Mingyue with a smile. Tang Jingmo stood tall and straight like a sword drawn from its sheath. He was indeed the chosen male protagonist. And the girl they called "Lin Xiaobai"...
Song Wan's breathing suddenly stopped——
On the girl's wrist, a green vine was moving silently, emitting an eerie light under the autumn sun, and seemed to be grinning at her!
