Chapter 38 Chapter 1 Heaven has eyes, doors have ears

Above people, there is heaven!People do things, God is watching! When Lin Chong was eating, he could only hear the loud beeping sound outside.Jumping up, looking through the crack of the wall, I saw that the forage yard was on fire, scraping and burning. Lin Chong took his gun, but waited to open the door to put out the fire, only to hear someone talking in front of him approaching.When Lin Chong was listening behind the temple gate, he heard the footsteps of three people rushing to the temple. When he got to the door, he pushed the door with his hands, because the door was blocked by Lin Chong with a big stone, and he couldn't push it open.The three had no choice but to stand and watch the fire under the eaves of the temple.

Only one of them said: "Is this plan good?" who?Of course we didn't know, but Lin Chong heard it: send a call! So, what is the plan to be complacent and to ask for credit? We know that Lin Chong has been tricked many times: from the beginning of Fu'an's plot to divert the tiger away from the mountain and hide the sky, to the serial plot of Lu Yuhou, and then to Dong Chao and Xue Ba's tricks on the way to the army that cannot be named or put on the table , Lin Chong was hit almost one by one, although in the end they all narrowly escaped death and survived, but which time did he not let his head break out?

This time, what's the trick? One replied: "Duan's failure to manage the battalion and send the two of you to work hard. When you return to the capital, you report to the Taiwei and protect you two as high-ranking officials. This time, Instructor Zhang has no excuses." This is Lu Yuhou's voice.It turns out that the planner of this plan is the manager of the camp and dispatch!Moreover, they planned this plan for Gao Lian!And it was obviously aimed at Lin Chong.So, what happened to Coach Zhang, Lin Chong's father-in-law? The messenger went on to say, "Lin Chong will be dealt with directly by us now. Gao Yanei's illness must be cured."

What kind of countermeasure?Judging from the tone of voice, not only is he proud of finally killing Lin Chong, but he also regrets that all the previous tricks failed to kill Lin Chong.And Gao Yanei recovered from his illness, and he deserved a lot of credit. Therefore, we can hear his flattery and his mentality of asking for credit and rewards from his tone. Another one said: "Master Zhang, that guy, asked people three times and five times to say, 'Your son-in-law is gone.' The more the instructor Zhang refused to agree. Therefore, the patients in the yamen are more important. The special envoy of the Taiwei and I begged both of us." The two of you do this. I don’t want to be complete now.”

This is Fu'an's voice.What he said directly told Lin Chong who was listening behind the door, why didn't they let him go! In fact, Lin Chong should have thought of this a long time ago: Dong Chao and Xue Ba didn't kill him on the way, Gao Qiu and his son would never let it go! He only heard the messenger say again: "The villain climbed straight into the wall, and lit a dozen torches on the haystack all around. Where are we going?" This vicious villain!Lin Chong's fifteen taels of silver and Chai Jin's two letters were all in vain.Back then he took Chai Jin's letter and said, "This book is worth one ingot of gold." Yes, Chai Jin's letter was only worth one ingot of gold, and Taiwei Gao's price was more than one ingot. Jin Zi, Taiwei Gao can still let him be a high-ranking official.

Of course, what he also understands is: if you offend Chai Jin, it doesn't matter, but if you offend Taiwei Gao, there is only one dead end. The three men continued their conversation.One said: "It will burn eight minutes sooner or later." Another said: "When you escape with your life, you will be punished by death if you burn the forage field of the army." Another said: "Let's go back to the city." One said: "Let's take a look again. I picked up one or two bones from him and went back to Beijing. When the mansion saw the Taiwei and Ya Nei, they also said that we can also do things."

One bite at a time, it's all about the joy of a successful murder and a successful trick!There is also the pride of being rewarded soon! Lin Chong heard this, and thought in his heart: "God is sorry to see Lin Chong! If I hadn't collapsed the grass hall, I would have been burned to death by these fellows!" The living people turned into a pile of bones!What's more, Lu Yuhou and the others can take this bone back for a reward! We can see that the author wrote about the heavy snow and the cold all the way, as if he was writing that the heavy snow deliberately opposed Lin Chong, just like Li Shaochun sang, showing off his majesty on Lin Chong's head, how could he know that the coldness of the snow is far worse than the cruelty of the human heart— ——"This heavy snow" actually "saved Lin Chong's life"!

Just now, when Lin Chong was suffering in the desolate land filled with heavy snow, Lin Chong didn't have any complaints. He even made a plan to repair the thatched hall and live there forever. Why didn't Lin Chong complain? It was because Lin Chong was afraid that a greater disaster was lurking somewhere.Lin Chong no longer hopes that the world will become better, but only hopes that it will not become worse.Lin Chong has completely lost confidence in the moral character of this world.However, Mother Nature is always merciful—heavy snow overwhelmed the grass hall, and Lin Chong had no choice but to pull out a quilt to take refuge in the ancient temple to escape the catastrophe.

So, Lin Chong, who has been begging for perfection all the time, Lin Chong who has never been murderous, and Lin Chong who has never dared to resist, what choice will he make this time? He will finally prove: Is he a real hero, or a coward who will never recover? To resist, or to submit again, that is the question.
