There are a lot of miscellaneous things on the cottage, and everyone was in a hurry until midnight before half of the discussion, looking at everyone's lack of yawns, or the third uncle stood up and said with a smile: "It's still a long time, and things can't be solved in a day, everyone still disperses first, go back to rest, and cultivate enough spirit to do things well, isn't it?" Anyway, I can't hold on to this old bone anymore. ”

"Yes, yes, what the third uncle said is right, everyone has been sleepless for more than ten consecutive days, and the spirit is also highly tense, now that we are home, everyone hurry up and sleep peacefully, recover your strength, and we will start training tomorrow." Lu Shi also stood up, still anxious, wanting to finish everything in this limited time.

As the saying goes, things should be done gradually, where can it be solved overnight? As the saying goes, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, it's better to come step by step.

When this was said, everyone immediately felt like they were falling apart, and they all stood up with a sigh of relief, and said goodbye to Guo Tianxing and Lu Shi, and Lu Shi and Guo Tianxing returned the salute one by one.

When everyone left, Guo Tianxing raised his legs and wanted to leave, but Lu Shi grabbed him.

Guo Tianxing said with a bitter face: "Let's talk about it tomorrow if there is something, I'm also sleepy, you can spare me." ”

Lu Shi also said with a bitter face: "No, Great Commander, this matter is urgent, it must be solved now, I can't wait for tomorrow." ”

Guo Tianxing opened his sleepy eyes and asked in surprise, "What is so urgent?" Speak quickly, sir. ”

"We, where are we sleeping today?"

Guo Tianxing was stunned for a moment, looked at Chen Ce, Geng Kui, Zhao Dahai, and Wang Xin and Jiang Liang, who were standing in the hall awkwardly, and Wang Xin and Jiang Liang who were at a loss, were stunned for a long time, and then asked very innocently: "Could it be that for such a long time, Mr. didn't arrange his own whereabouts?" ”

Lu Shijue fell, what is this, when he returned to the cottage today, he was busy with meetings, busy with reorganization, busy dealing with such and such things, where can he take care of this?

Besides, this place seems to have been your lair, so I need to know where I arranged it.

Guo Tianxing suddenly roared: "Mengzi, Mengzi, you roll over for me, is this the matter?" ”

The fierce man came in in a hurry outside.

Guo Tianxinghu scolded Cao Meng for his carelessness loudly and said, "You can do this matter quickly, and you can't delay for a moment." Then, ignoring everyone's dissatisfied expressions, he strode out and went to sleep by himself.

Lu Shi waited for Cao Meng to finish his busy work, seeing that everyone had finished settling, but he couldn't sleep, he asked in a low voice the placement place of the Zhang brothers, and Cao Meng asked a little brother on duty to take Lu Shi over.

Out of the door, a few brothers came out of the dark shadow, or Zhu Tie led the team, so habitually standing silently behind Lu Shi, Lu Shi smiled and said: "Captain Zhu Tie, now you are no longer my personal soldier, you are already the captain of the first team, how can you still follow me like this?" Have you forgotten your identity and duty? ”

"I, I" Zhu Tie didn't know what to say.

Lu Shi said with a smile: "According to the rules, my military division has no personal soldiers, as long as a Wang Xiao follows me to fight, the rules cannot be broken, everyone will be incorporated into the soldiers from now on, fighting for the cottage and for the fathers and elders, I hope the brothers will not embarrass me." ”

"But, sir, your safety is in danger." Zhu Tie still has to argue.

Lu Shi smiled and pointed outside: "What else am I safe?" With a few thousand brothers by my side, what danger do I have in their midst? Looking at everyone's unwilling expressions, Lu Shi smiled again and said: "It's not early, there are still things to do tomorrow, everyone can't slack off in performing their duties, let's disperse, disperse." After speaking, without waiting for everyone to express their positions, he followed the soldier on duty towards Zhang's residence.

The Zhang family was taken special care of because of their relationship with Lu Shi, and the family was placed in a leeward cave.

When Lu Shi came to the cave, there was no light in the cave, it was very quiet, put his ear on the window lattice to listen, there was a peaceful and steady breathing sound inside, Lu Shi's heart was relieved.

But standing outside the window, I don't know if I should wake them up and go in to see what they are doing.

Just as he was hesitating, the voice of the sister-in-law of the Zhang family in the room sounded: "It's Brother Lu Shi outside?" ”

Lu Shi's heart warmed, and he could hear his footsteps, what a person who cared about himself, the sister-in-law of the Zhang family regarded herself as her own brother.

With a warm heart, he replied in a low voice: "It's me who disturbed my sister-in-law's rest." ”

"Brother is hard, where is the bother, you wait a while, I'll open the door for you." Speaking of which. I heard the sound of Suo Suo getting dressed in the cave, and at the same time my sister-in-law called the Zhang brothers: "Da Lang Erlang, get up quickly, your uncle is here, go and open the door for him, it's cold outside, don't freeze your body." ”

When the two boys heard this, they immediately turned over, and without waiting for the lamp to be lit, Da Lang jumped off the ground and opened the door at once, and Erlang's head also poked out behind him, his face full of joy.

Lu Shi stood outside the door and looked at them with a smile, looking at their recovered bodies and bones, and was very pleased with the new king.

"Uncle, come in, it's cold outside, don't freeze your body and become a new king." At this time, San'er also came out with a piece of clothing to break into the king.

Lu Shi hugged San'er's obviously thin body outside, and comforted the new king with a smile.

At this time, the lights in the cave were lit, and the sister-in-law also came out in clothes and let Lu Shi in.

The cave is not big, but it is very warm, there is no furniture in it, a fire is laid on the kang, a lamp is lit on the edge of the kang, there are a few quilts piled up on the kang, the little girl sleeps quietly in it and does not wake up, Lu Shi leans over and touches the kang, it is hot, so he nodded, and thanks Cao Meng for taking care of the new king in his heart.

"Uncle, hurry up and sit down on the kang, I've been busy for many days, and I don't rest, don't take care of my body and bones, if you're tired, you can't do anything and become the new king." The sister-in-law chattered and pushed Lu Shishang Kang to become the new king. Lu Shi sat on the edge of the kang for half an ass and the new king.

"Sister-in-law, are you still used to it? Where else do you need it, you tell me about the new king. ”

"Get used to it, get used to it, we're not a precious body, it's all like this, where is it not the same?"

"Enough to eat? Can you wear it warmly? Lu Shi then asked, King Xinchuang.

"It's all good, it's all good to be a new king and overlord." The sister-in-law hurriedly replied: "Chief Manager Cao Meng saw that me, your little niece and the two nephews who had just been released from prison were weak, and in addition to the normal rations, he also deliberately allocated eggs and meat, and also let Lang Zhong of the cottage give a prescription, and sent people to boil medicine every day. ”

As he spoke, he pulled the three children and stood in front of Lu Shi, letting Lu Shi see the new king.

In the dim oil light, the three boys are indeed very good-looking, and even the eldest and second child, who have just been released from prison for less than five days, have a ruddy new king on their faces.

Lu Shi nodded and said softly: "That's fine, tomorrow I have to thank Brother Mengzi in person for taking care of us."

Saying this, Lu Shi has completely regarded himself as a member of the Zhang family.

"This has to be taken care of by the little uncle, or our mothers don't know where they died for a long time."

Speaking of this, I couldn't help wiping the corners of my eyes with my sleeves.

Lu Shi was silent for a long time, and Lu Shi apologized in a low voice: "It's all my fault, I originally wanted to be a windmill to change the situation at home, but I didn't want to harm our family, and I also took my brother's life, I"

Seeing Lu Shi blaming himself, his sister-in-law hurriedly stopped his words, smiled with difficulty, and explained: "Uncle, don't say that, in fact, our family still has to thank uncle, if there is no uncle, your brother and I will have to flee the famine this spring, and now I don't know that I am starving to death on the side of the road, it is with my uncle's windmill that everyone has survived in peace and stability until now, and even with the whole village to live with you, the whole village is thinking of your good Xinchuang King." ”

Lu Shi continued to be silent, raised his head for a long time, and said with difficulty holding back his tears: "I didn't catch up with my brother's funeral, I don't know where my brother is buried, and I will take the time to pay tribute to the new king tomorrow." ”

"Uncle, don't be sad, for the sake of our family, you did not hesitate to mobilize these tens of thousands of people to do these great things, and your brother must also be grateful for the new king under Jiuquan." wiped his eyes with his sleeves, and said again: "Thanks to the head of Cao Meng, who helped with the aftermath of cooking, put your brother into the ancestral grave, everything is beautiful, he was not wronged, if it weren't for you, if he died, he would just be wrapped in a mat, and now he has a good coffin, and he should be escorted, he is content with the new king." "And then it was the new king who wiped his tears.

Lu Shi was silent again.

"Come on, hurry up, kowtow to your uncle, thank you uncle for being a good new king to us." The sister-in-law took the boss's hand and urged: "In the future, this is your own uncle, that is, your father who is alive, in the future, your uncle will be in the wind and rain for us, and the three of you must not leave your uncle an inch to ensure his safety, even if the three of you are dead, you can't let your uncle hurt half a hair." ”

Before Lu Shi could react, the three boys knelt down together, lying on the ground and kowtowing to the new king.

Lu Shi was startled, and hurriedly leaned over and pulled up their new king.

The sister-in-law spoke: "Uncle, Xiaoya and I are both women, we can only add a burden to you, and I can't help you, these three boys will be handed over to you in the future, you will treat him as your biological child, beat and beat, scold and scold, if there is anything to charge, let them go in your head, let him repay your great kindness to our Zhang family for his father, Xinchuang King." After that, he hid his face with his sleeve and sobbed softly.

Lu Shi really didn't know what to say, it was originally their family who kindly took in themselves when they were in the most difficult time, and also when they were in the most difficult time, so that they had a foothold and dependence on the lonely traverser, but because of themselves, their family was ruined, and all this might not have happened without their own appearance, but now in their hearts, they are deeply grateful and caring for themselves, what else does this make them say?

stood up, looked at the family in the cave, and whispered to my sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, as long as I still have a breath of air, I will never let anyone hurt anyone in our family again." ”

Yes, it is our family, Lu Shi has truly integrated himself into this suffering family, and has truly become a member of this family, provoking the new king of this family.
