The modern me and the Republic of China her

Chapter 416

The street opposite is not far away.People passing by sharpening scissors and chopping kitchen knives can clearly hear the loud metal impact as long as they shake their bodies slightly.

With a distance of less than 20 meters, Caiwei dragged her exhausted body from day-to-day running, and took a full ten minutes to get the newspaper from the newsboy and walk back.

Her attention was divided among the different pages of the paper, darting through the headings and endings of the lines.Jianhua told his sister that he mainly collects and writes some social news, and will not get involved in literary and artistic comments.

Yet the paper as a whole made her more and more uncomfortable as she read it.Not only did I search a lot, but I couldn’t find the pseudonyms that Jianhua used frequently, and I even read the small lace news in the gaps in the newspapers, but still got nothing.

She came back with the newspaper worried, "My cousin, I got the newspaper. My brother doesn't have any articles on it. Maybe I need to go to the newspaper office right away to see what's going on."

Long before Lin Yitang heard the newsboy's yell, he suddenly felt his eyelids twitch.When he heard that the daughter of the owner of Huaxia Hotel had an accident, he couldn't fully recover from the shock for a while.The biscuits in his hand fell to the ground with a "boom".

At a loss, he stepped on the biscuit, crushing it to pieces.

"Caiwei, you go first," he took the newspaper and scanned it hastily, "Jianhua may be in trouble at work. Be careful on the road."

"Okay, the first cousin should also pay attention to safety, Uncle Lin, Little Bee, and Li Yan are all at the inn hoping you will go back soon."

She finished saying goodbye to him anxiously, and crossed the dusty road alone with a small bag of sesame seed cakes.The thin figure slowly disappeared into the crowd.

The little boy who sold the newspaper continued to shout.After Caiwei bought the newspaper, she sold several copies one after another.While counting the change in his hand happily, he yelled even harder: "Sell newspapers! Sell newspapers! Don't miss the good news!"

Yitang felt noisy when he heard it, and rushed to the child annoyed, and knocked all the newspapers in his hand to the ground: "Such a sad thing is good news?! Are you selling newspapers or conscience!"

A gust of wind blew the newspapers scattered on the ground into all directions.The little boy didn't care about reasoning with him, and hurriedly bent down to pick up the newspapers that were tumbling in the wind. It took a lot of effort to pick up less than half of them.

The rest of the newspapers were either blown into the mud and soiled by the wind, or were trampled under the feet of passers-by, and lost their chances of being sold.

The little boy came back dejectedly holding the newspaper, and glared angrily at the man in front of him.He is quite tall, handsome, and looks like a educated man, why did he use force as soon as he came up?

"My little brother, what did I do to you! I sell newspapers to make a living! Are you trying to scam me by ruining my newspapers, or are you charging protection money?"

"Protection fee? Do you think I'm a hooligan?!" Lin Yitang blushed suddenly.He has never been good at arguing with others, and he will solve problems by hand when he is in a hurry.And this newsboy's mouth is really powerful, probably comparable to Li Yan's kung fu.

"I'm unlucky today. Pay me one dollar, or I'll call the police." The little newsboy clasped his hands together, as if to open his mouth to ask for help.

"How dare you!" Yitang couldn't help but grab him by the collar, "It's obvious that you were making a fuss about the car accident in order to make more money, and you still blame me for teaching you."

"What am I yelling about?" He looked aggrieved, "I saw Boss Tang's daughter in a car accident with my own eyes."

As soon as the words came out, the hand that was holding the collar loosened instantly.He saw the man's face turn from red to white.Tears welled up in her eyes.

"Brother, hey, why are you crying?" Seeing Lin Yitang crying, the little newsboy regretted that he "opened his mouth like a lion".A dollar can cover the next week's newspaper.Could it be that the other party felt that there were too many and couldn't take them out in a hurry?

"I also know that Wen Qian is not a hero these days. If you think one dollar is too much, you can give me half of it today. There is no need for a man to cry!"

The man raised his sleeve and wiped the corners of his eyes, grabbed his hand vigorously, and "slapped" two silver dollars. "You take the money. Quickly lead me to the place where the car crashed."

The sudden windfall made the little newsboy's heart thump wildly.Yitang's generosity combined with tears made him mistakenly think that he had met Miss Tang's admirer.In terms of emotion and reason, I have to take the family to the place where the accident happened, and it doesn't hurt to delay the business for half a day.

"Okay, brother, come with me."

One after another, they walked through the streets and alleys, rushing to the corner where the car accident happened.From a distance, I saw a telegraph pole that was deformed by the collision and fell crookedly to the ground.

The road surface has been cleaned many times, except for the deep wheel friction marks, there is basically no obvious abnormality.Only when you get closer and look carefully at any corner, can you occasionally see some sporadic blood stains remaining.

Lin Yitang stood beside the telegraph pole for an hour.His eyes fell on a small shiny shard embedded deep in the soil.The shard was only the size of a thumbnail, but it shone brighter than gems in the sun, making him dizzy.

He stayed there for a long time, and picked up another sharp stone to dig the soil on the ground, without saying a word.

The fragments were dug out intact.Yitang put it in the palm of his hand and looked at it carefully.From the shape and texture, it looks like it came from a glass bottle of wine.He sniffed the fragment close to his nose, and sure enough, he smelled a mellow aroma of wine.It is a valuable foreign wine that he is familiar with.

The little newsboy on the side was dumbfounded.Maybe this person is too sad and out of his mind? He regrets bringing this stranger here for a moment: not only did it not alleviate his grief, but it also added fuel to the fire.

"Brother, are you okay?" He asked cautiously, "You can't come back to life after death. Don't be too sad."

"I have something to ask you." Lin Yitang raised his head and carefully put the piece of debris into his pocket. "Did Miss Tang hit it by herself, or did another car hit her car first?"

"Let me think about it," the newsboy scratched his head vigorously with his dirty little hands, "I did see a black car driving fast that day, and it made a lot of noise as it rubbed against Miss's car."

He tried hard to recall the car accident scene at that time, but the memory just got stuck at the most critical point.After all, he was a child less than ten years old. When he saw two cars almost colliding with each other, he was terrified and instinctively stretched out his hands to cover his eyes.

The little boy spoke a lot intermittently.

Lin Yitang's tears fell one after another, and he didn't hear a word at all. "Doctor Zhang is an innocent and good man. I caused him to lose his fiancée"
