Therefore, if Fang Mu really set the recruitment condition of the 'Fang Family's First Guard Regiment' at the beginning that only those who can read and write can be recruited, then most people would be stuck on this condition, and Fang Mu would not have recruited enough people for the Fang family

Niu Cheng listened to Fang Mu's question, smiled awkwardly on his face, and then explained to Fang Mu: "Young master, in fact, my family is also a landlord family in the countryside, and the family is relatively well-off, with hundreds of acres of paddy fields, dozens of ploughing cattle and all kinds of farm tools, and they also rent to those tenant farmers, and they live a rich life of collecting land rent. Therefore, my father sent me to private school for a few years when I was younger, but since I was not interested in the Four Books and the Five Classics, I only read them for a few years! ”

"I see! Then it's no surprise that you can read! Fang Mu listened to Niu Cheng's explanation, and his face showed a look of sudden realization. But then, Fang Mu's brows furrowed again, and he continued to ask Niu Cheng.

"Since your family is still quite solid, and you live the life of a young master of the landlord's family, then why do you still come to the Fang family to endure hardship?"

Fang Mu was very incomprehensible to Niu Cheng for saying that his family background was so solid, but he came to join the 'First Regiment of the Fang Family's Guards' and lived this kind of tiring days of training all day like those big bosses.

Fang Mu's question made the embarrassment on Niu Cheng's face even worse, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start. In the end, under Fang Mu's expectant eyes, Niu Cheng held back several times before he spit out a few words to Fang Mu.

"Young Master! I'm a bet! I'm a loser! ”

It seems that these words evoke the sad memories in Niu Cheng's heart, and Niu Cheng's face was full of remorse, repentance, and sadness after saying these words, and there were bursts of tears in his eyes. The chest is also heaved together, and I am very excited.

Fang Mu saw Niu Cheng's smile from just now, and in an instant, it turned into the current appearance that made people feel sad when they saw it. Although Fang Mu didn't understand what Niucheng was sad about, he also knew that he had said the wrong thing, and it was he who had evoked the unpleasant memories in Niu Cheng's mind. Therefore, Fang Mu was also a little anxious, he wanted to comfort Niu Cheng and tell him that he didn't care about the past, and the Fang family would treat him well in the future. But Fang Mu had never comforted anyone, and wanted to speak several times. When the words come to my mouth, I don't know what to say! ”

Helpless, Fang Mu had to use what he thought was the most useful method, took out a cigarette from his body and handed it to Niu Cheng. At the same time, Fang Mu also said in his mouth: "Come on!" Try this thing, take two puffs, and maybe you'll feel a little better in your heart! ”

Niu Cheng looked at the cigarette Fang Mu handed him, he was stunned for a moment, and even his sobbing shoulders stopped. The cigarette in Fang Mu's hand was known to Niu Cheng. Before Niu Cheng lost his family property because of big gambling, others also gave him some of this kind of flue-cured tobacco. It's just that Niu Cheng was still the eldest young master of a landlord's family at that time, and he didn't look down on this kind of flue-cured tobacco that tasted spicy and choked at all, so he threw it away.

Now, Niu Cheng has experienced all kinds of changes after the fall of the family road, tasted the warmth and coldness of human feelings, and his own life experience has been greatly supplemented after the fall of the family road, and he has also learned how to be a man. Even though Niu Cheng still felt that the cigarette handed to him by Fang Mu was difficult to smoke, now Niu Cheng took the cigarette handed to him by Fang Mu.

Fang Mu saw that Niu Cheng took the cigarette in his hand, and hurriedly took out a matchbox from his body, took out a match and lit it on the box, handed the fire in his hand to Niu Cheng, and helped Niu Cheng light the cigarette on his mouth. When doing these actions, Fang Mu didn't feel like he had lost face at all. On the contrary, now is the time when your subordinates are depressed, and you need to come forward to calm your subordinates. Therefore, Fang Mu took it for granted that he did this.

At the beginning, Niu Cheng almost endured the torture of 'difficult cigarettes' on his lips, and looked at him expectantly under Fang Mu's gaze, he took a shallow breath, and the smoke entered his lungs, and Niu Cheng thought that the uncomfortable feeling was about to enter his brain like the first time he smoked a cigarette.

However, after Niu Cheng waited quietly for a few seconds, the uncomfortable feeling he had when he smoked a cigarette for the first time did not appear in his mind. On the contrary, he still has a sense of tranquility and relaxation, and his heart is particularly ethereal at this moment, as if all the dissatisfaction and grievances in his heart have been vented instantly.

Instantly!!! Niu Cheng widened his curious eyes, looked at the cigarette he lit in his hand in shock, and wondered how the feeling of smoking this time was different from the last time, which made him feel comfortable in his heart!!

In fact, every time a person smokes, the feeling in his mouth is the same. It's just that the mood of the user may be different each time. Different moods will produce different reactions when smoking. If people smoke while staying up late, it is a need to refresh themselves, and there is not much feeling at that time; If a person smokes when he is depressed, it is a need to relieve his own depression, and the smoker will feel a sense of relaxation.

And when Niu Cheng smoked for the first time. At that time, he was still the eldest young master of a landlord's family, living a rich and pleasant life, and there was nothing depressed in his heart. Instead, he smoked with a sense of curiosity, and he didn't know how much smoke he inhaled in his lungs, so he inhaled too hard and choked his throat. That's why he hated cigarettes so much in the later days, so that when Fang Mu handed it to him at the beginning, he didn't want it!

"Young Master! Immediately, Niu Cheng asked Fang Mu in a surprised tone. Because he wondered why his first and second inhalations were different.

But Fang Mu didn't answer him anything. Instead, he looked at him with a smile on his face, pointed to the cigarette in Niu Cheng's hand, and motioned him to take a few more puffs to relieve his mood.

Niu Cheng also understood Fang Mu's gestures. Immediately, he picked up the cigarette in his hand again and took a hard puff into his mouth!!!!

"Ahem! Cough! cough

It's just that this fierce bite made Niu Cheng cough violently immediately, and the spicy smoke choked his tears and snot, and his lungs continued to rise and fall, and the whole person became uncomfortable. It didn't make him try the pleasure of the last time.

Suddenly, Niu Cheng, who had recovered his strength, looked at the cigarette in his hand with some fear, and said to himself: "Why did it become the same feeling as when I smoked it for the first time?" ”
