"Don't ink, old man!" Seeing this, Lin Feng scolded with a smile, but Lao Zhu was still stunned, Lin Feng had no choice but to hand over the small iron basin again, shook it a few times, and poured a small pile of haggis into Lao Zhu's bowl, and then poured the remaining haggis into the bowl one by one to a few apprentices who were stunned in place and didn't know what to do.

"Master Hou, this, this can't be helped!" Lao Zhu reacted now, although Lin Feng in front of him still had a peaceful face, but Lao Zhu was trembling all over, shaking his hands and holding the bowl of small basin that was about to overflow with broth because of the addition of haggis, with a touched face.

"Alright, stop talking nonsense! Eat it while it's hot! Lin Feng smiled nonchalantly and waved his hand, then turned his head to a few young apprentices and urged: "And a few of you, don't be stunned, it's cold, eat it while it's hot!" There are so many of us, and we will have to rely on you for food all the way in the future, so I will be fed and drunk! ”

Hearing this, several apprentices finally came to their senses, although there was no shortage of food to cook in the army, but when they came to this cold and abnormally cold Meridian Valley, they could understand that if they ate a few more pieces of mutton, they would be able to suffer from freezing for a lot less time a day. Afterwards, several people showed sincere smiles one by one, and thanked Lin Feng again and again, but Lin Feng stopped them with a smile and waved his hand, and then ordered several people with a smile: "You go and eat, I have something to ask Lao Zhu!" ”

Hearing this, everyone, including Lao Zhu, was stunned, but they nodded quickly, and trotted away one by one with the hot broth in their hands, and they didn't know whether they were worried that others would take away their broth, or if they remembered the instructions of their master Lao Zhu, don't know what they shouldn't know.

"Hou, Hou, you, what do you say?" Lao Zhu heard that Lin Feng was looking for him, so he hurriedly swallowed a few mouthfuls of broth, and he didn't care about burning his mouth, and after swallowing it, he reached out and wiped the oil stains on his mouth indiscriminately, and asked in a low voice with some trepidation in his eyes.

"Actually, it's nothing! You eat yours, and while eating, you can't eat it, you have to make a stomach! Seeing the other party's actions, Lin Feng smiled faintly, stretched out his hand to signal the other party, and then said with a smile: "Old Zhu, your time in our Feng family army is not too short!" It is precisely because of your special identity that you can go on this journey in this Meridian Valley this time! However, when the brothers below were investigating your background, it was said that when you were young, you were once kidnapped by a local tyrant and took away your daughter-in-law? And was beaten up? ”

After hearing this, Lao Zhu, who had just lowered his head and was about to eat, was stunned for a moment, as his head slowly raised, his eyes were full of dazedness, and in the face of Lin Feng's inquiry, he only nodded subconsciously, but the confusion on his face was clearly visible.

"Oh, by the way, where is your home? I haven't heard of this yet! Lin Feng's eyes also carried a trace of sympathy, just from Lao Zhu's blank facial expression, Lin Feng could see that the other party seemed to be still obsessed with the events of many years ago, and even Lin Feng was a little suspicious, if it was not himself who raised the question at this time, I am afraid that Lao Zhu would turn his face and get angry. Although Lin Feng saw the abnormality, he didn't get angry, he just smiled understandingly, and explained softly: "Because we don't have a special bandit and bandit force in Shannan Dao now, and I don't allow this kind of force to exist in our Shannan Dao, so I'm very curious, what is the origin of that Haoqiang who bullied you back then!" Besides, after all, your Lao Zhu is also a member of the Feng family's army, even if he is his own brother, I can't watch my brother be bullied, and I don't even have a daughter-in-law now! ”

"Master Hou, I..." Looking at Lin Feng, who had a sincere and solemn face, Lao Zhu was a little speechless for a while, and he didn't know if it was because of the cold wind or other reasons, and a pair of round eyes suddenly flashed with crystal light. At this time, Lao Zhu's heart was also extremely complicated, not only because of Lin Feng's heartfelt words, but because of the past buried deep in his heart.

About 20 years ago, Lao Zhu, who was a farmer, got a daughter-in-law through a matchmaker, but a few days after the wedding, he was kidnapped by the local Haoqiang.

Lao Zhu, who has been honest since he was a child, after a night of tossing and turning, couldn't sleep, and the next morning, he took out two guys that could be used as weapons at home, an iron spoon and a kitchen knife for stir-frying. One hand, he went to Haoqiang's mansion alone, and the result was very simple, as soon as he rushed into the mansion, he was beaten by more than a dozen people with sticks, and finally laughed and mocked Lao Zhu: "These two guys are used for cooking, not for you to use to commit murder!" Go home and cook! ”

However, it was precisely because of this sentence that Lao Zhu, who was injured on the way home, happened to encounter the announcement of the recruitment of troops in Shannan West Road at that time, so he rushed to the recruitment registration office with two guys. I don't know why, maybe it's because I'm too angry, or for other reasons, Lao Zhu, who originally only knew a little about cooking and stir-frying, actually stir-fried a big pot of fragrant meals in the logistics Huotou camp that day, and was immediately hired into the logistics Huotou Battalion. Subsequently, after many years of changing hands in Shannan West Road, it had no impact on Lao Zhu, who was in the Huotou Battalion, and even in the end, it was smoothly and directly incorporated into the logistics of the Feng Family Army.

However, although all this is very simple, for Lao Zhu, it is a major turning point in his whole life, without a daughter-in-law, without a home, he stays in the army alone for 20 years. At this time, Lao Zhu seemed to see another turning point in his life.

"Master Hou, Lao Zhu was originally from Xingzhou, and after joining the army, he had no home anyway, so he kept walking with the army!" Lao Zhu smiled slightly, replied seemingly casually, and then his smile revealed a deep bitterness, shaking his head and explaining: "Because of the events at that time, even some relatives were reluctant to get closer to me, as if they were worried about being affected by my affairs!" Originally, at the beginning, when there was nothing to do in the army, I would go back to see, but later, I didn't go back at all, and no one wanted to see me anyway, so why bother to find trouble for myself! ”

"Hmm." Lin Feng nodded slowly, very sympathetic to Lao Zhu's experience, after all, according to what Lao Zhu said, he can be regarded as having seen through the warmth and coldness of the world, because he was afraid of being affected, he even put aside the relationship between relatives directly, no wonder Lao Zhu would stay in the army all year round.

Then, Lin Feng raised his head, looked at Lao Zhu and asked in a deep voice, "Then the Haoqiang who bullied you at that time was from Xingzhou City?" Do you still know where the other party came from, what is the surname, and where the mansion is? ”

"Yes, yes!" Lao Zhu nodded heavily, for this kind of thing, I'm afraid even any person will never forget it for a lifetime, Lao Zhu didn't think too much, and when he saw Lin Feng looking at him, he continued: "That family's surname is Li, and his name is Li Ren!" said that it was Haoqiang, but in fact, it was just called that, Li Ren was just a playboy, because his ancestors left a lot of property, relying on these, his father was a long history in Xingzhou! Officials and businessmen collude, so we people are called Haoqiang! ”
