Early the next morning, Hou Zhengdong came back from practicing in the pine forest behind the Taoist temple, and Yu Xuzi was already busy making breakfast, but to Hou Zhengdong's surprise, the master did not wear a Taoist robe today, but changed into a relatively clean and refreshing old military uniform, which he mailed back for him to wear when he was studying at the military academy before.

"Master, are you going to go far away?"

Hou Zhengdong finished washing, walked to the table and sat down, when he was a child, Yuxuzi always disappeared every once in a while, I thought that now the old Taoist priest would restrain himself when he was older, but he didn't expect that as soon as he arrived home, his old man would go out again.

"Well, it's going to be the five-year Dragon and Tiger Mountain discussion soon, I have to set off today, otherwise I won't be able to catch up."

Yu Xuzi smiled and nodded, and walked over with a plastic wine barrel, "Xiaodong, you are now discharged from the army, and you are going to do something next, since you have to help your three brothers take care of the family, which requires a lot of money, then the burden on your shoulders is not light." ”

"Master, I don't know what to do." Hou Zhengdong smiled bitterly, "After being a soldier for so many years, except for leading soldiers to fight, nothing else will be done, but there will be no starvation in this world, take one step at a time, I will send a few brothers back to their hometown first, and I will come back to find a way for the rest." ”

His voice paused, picked up the wine bowl and drank it all, "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, it's really not good, I go to be a bodyguard for someone, go to drive a taxi, I can still make a little money, plus my discharge pay can always last for a few years." ”

"Xiaodong, why don't you come to Longhu Mountain to find me when you're done?"

Yu Xuzi took a sip of the wine bowl, smashed his mouth, shook his head and sighed, "After so many years, I still feel that the wine I brewed is delicious." ”

"Master, I really can't learn to do things."

Hou Zhengdong smiled bitterly, and took a chopstick water spinach into his mouth and chewed it, "I said many years ago, if I can't get into college, I will learn that from you, and now I have graduated from college for many years, and I am a staunch materialist and atheist." ”

Yu Xuzi was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened in astonishment, and he looked like he couldn't cry or laugh, "Stinky boy, I knew that I wouldn't bring you back back then, I thought I could accept an apprentice and pass on the mantle, but I didn't know that your kid was as stinky and hard as the stone in the pit, it seems that Lao Dao's ability is going to follow me into the coffin." ”

"Master, you have no heir, and it will be good for me to give you a pension in the future." Hou Zhengdong smiled and changed the topic, "By the way, Master, how long are you going to go this time?" ”

"I don't know, it depends on the situation, at least three months, at most half a year, if there is a big opportunity, maybe you will never see me again."

Yu Xuzi picked up the wine bowl and drank it all, "If your master and I really have a big opportunity this time, and we don't come back within a year, you don't have to think about giving me a pension for the rest of your life, when the time comes, you remember to come back and clean up my room, and leave here." ”

Hou Zhengdong was stunned, he knew that the master had been diligently pursuing the so-called Heavenly Dao all his life, and he wanted to soar in the daytime whenever he dreamed of it, but it was a pity that these decades had passed, and the great opportunity that the master said in his mouth still did not appear.

The master and apprentice had breakfast, Hou Zhengdong sent Yu Xuzi to the bottom of the mountain, looking at his thin figure, he suddenly remembered what the master said just now, and there was a trace of ominous feeling in his heart for no reason.

Sent away the master Yuxuzi, Hou Zhengdong returned to the Taoist temple, sorted out the things, and set off with a camouflage bag on his back, he had to do his best to send the brothers to their respective homes, and then start his money-making plan, the dog who died for Hou Zhengdong to block the bullet was a native of Xiahua Sedan Town, Qixi County, and the sunspot who sacrificed to cover him was born in Huaxi Town, Qixi County, and the scorpion was from Jiangbei.

Xiahua Jiao Town is located in the north direction of Qixi County, forty kilometers away from the county seat, Huaxi Town is located in the west of Qixi, closer to Yongchuan City, Hou Zhengdong decided to send the dog home first, then go to Heizi's house, and finally go to Jiangbei Scorpion's house from Yongchuan Railway Station.

When Hou Zhengdong rushed all the way to the town of the sedan chair, the time was close to noon, and it happened to be the day of the town of the sedan chair, he remembered that the dog said that he had a seriously ill old lady in bed and his sister who was in high school, and he also knew what gifts to buy to visit them, so he went to the store to consult the boss and bought a lot of gifts, and asked the boss about the address of the unity village where the dog was located.

The boss's answer made Hou Zhengdong a little surprised, Tuanjie Village was actually not far from the town government, and immediately thanked the boss, picked up his things and left in a hurry.

Hou Zhengdong carried the camouflage bag on his back and walked in the direction pointed by the boss.

After walking for about ten minutes, Hou Zhengdong saw a village, a graceful girl was standing in the stream at the entrance of the village to wash her face, her clothes were still stained with a lot of dirt, and her hair was also stained with a lot of grass clippings, obviously she had just returned from working in the fields.

"Girl, excuse me, is this Unity Village?"

Hou Zhengdong walked over with a camouflage bag.

The girl turned around when she heard this, this is a beautiful girl, with a beautiful melon seed face, willow eyebrows, and her long soft hair is curled up in a ball and tied behind her head, she glanced at Hou Zhengdong and nodded, "Well, this is Tuanjie Village, do you have anything wrong?" ”

"Thanks, do you know where the dog's home is?"

As soon as Hou Zhengdong spoke, he realized that something was wrong, and the dog's big name was He Gou, and he immediately added, "I'm talking about He Gou, and I'm his comrade-in-arms." ”

"He Gou, do you know my brother?"

The girl was stunned, her beautiful eyebrows raised, the dimples on her face were slightly sunken downward, and a bright smile spread on her beautiful face, "You are his comrade-in-arms, why didn't my brother go home, did he make a mistake?" ”

"Also, I wrote a letter to tell him a month ago, we are going to build a road here, and the two acres of paddy fields at home are within the scope of land acquisition, and the village chief said that he would exchange his paddy fields with us, but my mother was beaten by the village chief's baby son He Wang if he didn't agree, and my mother is still lying in the hospital bed is ......."

As the girl spoke, tears welled up involuntarily.

Hou Zhengdong frowned, for this operation to crack down on the drug lords in Jinshanjiao, the superiors were very well prepared, and called the comrades-in-arms of several units for training half a year in advance, so as to enhance the tacit understanding between comrades-in-arms, he took the dog to southern Xinjiang as early as the end of last year, and the dog naturally did not receive his sister's letter.

"Okay, little girl, don't cry, I'm here."

Hou Zhengdong carried the camouflage bag and looked at the girl's cheeks, "As long as I am here, I will never let anyone bully you." ”

"He Qian, the rice in the two fields near the highway in your house has been harvested, hurry up if you haven't finished harvesting, we will plant rice tomorrow morning."

A voice rang out from behind him abruptly.

Hou Zhengdong turned around and saw a roe deer guy walking over, shirtless, wearing a pair of beach pants, and a pair of flip-flops under his feet, looking like a ruffian.

"He Wang, who said that our family is going to change fields with you."

He Qian snorted, walked ashore from the creek, and reached out to hug Hou Zhengdong's arm, "Don't think you have a few ruffian friends, this is my brother's friend in the army, and one person beats the three of you!" ”

"Oh, it turns out that there is a stupid soldier to support you, I said, you girl is bold today."

He Wang walked over slowly with his hands behind his back, his squinting gaze swept over He Qian's chest, and fixed on Hou Zhengdong's face, "Boy, Brother Qixi Long is my brother, just hurry up and get out of me, otherwise, you will be beaten to lie in bed like her mother ......for half a year."

Before he finished his words, there was a flower in front of him, and then he felt as if his cheek had been hit by a truck, and the whole person rolled over and fell into the creek in the air, splashing all over the ground.

Then a deep voice sounded, "Don't blame me for not making it clear, whoever dares to bully He Qian's mother and daughter in the future, I don't mind killing a few people!" ”
