Chapter 703: Hometown Cowardice
"It's good to be back." This was the first thing Hou Laohu said when he saw his nephew, whom he hadn't seen for several years. Standing in front of the familiar and unfamiliar home, Hou Dasheng's eyes were a little hot.
This moment he had actually been looking forward to for a long time, in his busy life. In his dreams, he didn't come back to here. His wife, holding her two children, stood in front of him. Hou Laohu is still the same as back then, but his hair and beard are a little gray.
Hou Dasheng's lips squirmed, and the two children led by Lisa could vaguely see Hou Dasheng's appearance when he was a child. One of them has blue eyes and the other has black eyes. Uniformly shaved short hair, a little taller than his peers.
is dressed very ordinary, at least from the dress, it is not at all obvious that he is a child of a rich family. It's just ordinary sportswear, but on the feet is thin-soled cowhide cloth shoes. The two children were obviously not afraid of birth, they just looked at Hou Dasheng curiously.
Because my mother and uncle said that this was my father. When they were very young, they met their father. But now, they have lost their impression. Because the word father was only mentioned to them by mother and uncle.
Perhaps, in their minds, the impression of their father is more left by their uncle and grandfather. Hou Laohu silently assumed the responsibility of the two children's guides. Like other children of the Hou family, he laid the foundation at the age of four and began to work hard at the age of six.
Lisa has enough funds and ways to get the rare medicinal herbs that Hou Laohu needs to boil his children's muscles and bones. So, even in the time when Hou Dasheng had no time to take care of. These two children did not have an easy time.
They are required to complete an etiquette course every day in addition to school. You need to learn English and French, and you have to work hard with Hou Laohu at a fixed time. Hou Laohu will work tirelessly to make a special medicinal bath for them.
Specially concocted medicated oil, rubbed all over their bodies. It will also be supplemented by a massage. Back then, Hou Dasheng was not as good as these two children in this regard. After all, at that time, the Hou family was not so wealthy, and took out so much money to boil his muscles.
Many people think that this martial arts is a reckless man and a poor person. As everyone knows, there is a source for the saying that the poor are rich and the rich are martial. The inheritance of a big family like the Hou family has its own complete cultivation method.
It's a pity that in the turbulent years, the Hou family's industry was basically smashed. There are only recipes and techniques, and there is no money to get medicinal materials, and even some medicinal materials have no way to get them. It's useless to have a recipe. Fortunately, now that there is Lisa, Hou Dasheng's own net worth is enough for him to support the expenses of his two children.
"Uncle......" Hou Dasheng's voice was a little hoarse, and he tried to calm himself down. It took a long time before he shouted this sentence. Hou Laohu waved his hand: "Accompany your daughter-in-law and children, they have suffered!" ”
After speaking, Hou Laohu left first with his hands behind his back. What was left for Hou Dasheng was just a back. There was no nonsense, Hou Dasheng almost jumped up and picked up Lisa directly. Before the two could hug each other, Lisa was already in tears.
Marrying this man, Lisa has no regrets. But to say that these days are not difficult is a lie. The husband is outside and may receive news of his death at any time. Every day, it's true. To say that you are not afraid is a lie.
However, she didn't say anything. The women of the family of Cyliax may not inherit anything else. But there is the kind of tenacity that has been engraved in the bones since the ancestors. She would silently wait for her man, who was the man she had chosen.
She said that he was her man, and he was her man for life.
At this point, Hou Dasheng always felt that he was sorry for Lisa. But many times, he can't help himself. There are many things that he can't quit if he wants to. One of his decisions could involve the lives and deaths of thousands of people.
In that place where the sun doesn't shine, it's almost another world. It's so easy for a person, a group of people, to die suddenly. Don't talk about jackals and other people, even if Hou Dasheng is dead on the street one day, or dies in some unknown corner of the world. It's not impossible either.
"This time...... How long will you stay?! Lisa asked softly. It was this sentence that made Hou Dasheng's already warm but forcibly endured tears "whoa~" drip out at once.
I don't want to face it, but I have to face it: "Five days, I'll be back as soon as possible!" ”
"Come back, I'm not leaving!" Hou Dasheng exhaled deeply and forced the tears back into his eyes. But two tears remained on his face. He cupped Lisa's face and looked at her seriously.
Then tell her word by word: "If I come back, I won't leave!" We'll just live this life! ”
What Hou Dasheng didn't know was that in the small pavilion in the distance. Hou Laohu sat with the old crow and did not light the lamp. In the moonlight, two people grabbed a wine jar and drank alone.
"It's good to be young...... old crow lamented. Hou Laohu squinted his eyes and looked at his nephew: "That must be good!" ”
