Chapter 117: Shipwrecks
The sun never dawns, and the heat poisons my intestines.
finally looked forward to the sunset, Aunt Zhu sat on the horse, fanning the wind while looking out. The Tang family is rising, and Aunt Zhu also feels that her identity is different, and she is no longer the shopkeeper of the noodle restaurant, and it just so happens that the Tang family has no hostess, so Aunt Zhu has added the title of "housekeeper" to herself. Since you are a housekeeper, you must take care of the house!
It just so happened that there were two guys in tattered clothes and covered in muddy water who walked directly to the door, and they didn't even say hello. But the Tang family has strict family rules, and it is never allowed to bully others, no matter who you are, you must be polite.
"Count you cheap." Aunt Zhu thought secretly, glanced at Shen Lin next to her, and said, "Go get them a few buns." ”
Shen Lin was turning around when he suddenly heard a faint voice and said, "Take the meat filling!" ”
Flutter, the herbal tea that Aunt Zhu just drank squirted far away.
Okay! If you want to eat, you have to go out of class!
There is a saying that if you want to eat, don't be greedy. If you want meat filling, you deserve it too! Aunt Zhu stood up suddenly, her brows upside down, her left hand crossed her waist, and she stretched out her right hand to pose in a fighting posture.
Shen Lin secretly pulled the placket of her clothes, "Auntie, it seems to be the voice of the master." ”
"Sir?" Aunt Zhu hurriedly rubbed her eyes, and at this time the two "beggars" also arrived in front of her, and she could see clearly through the lanterns at the gate that these two were in tatters, their clothes were scratched in several places, stained with a lot of muddy water and broken grass, their shoes were also torn, and there were several wounds on their elbows and legs, which were bleeding. Looking at his face, he could vaguely recognize that it was Tang Yi and Tang Xiucai.
"Oops!" Aunt Zhu was so frightened that she jumped three feet tall and exclaimed, "What kind of sin did you create? How did the two of you become like this? ”
Tang Xiucai didn't have the strength to speak, Tang Yi barely took a breath, and said, "Don't ask, Aunt Zhu will prepare two buckets of hot water and prepare some food." ”
"Hey, I'll go!" Aunt Zhu turned around and ran, Shen Lin hurriedly came over, and Tang Yi carried Tang Xiucai together, staggered, and returned to the study.
"Young master, I've boiled water."
Tang Yi nodded, Shen Lin ran out, and the two of them were left in the house. Tang Yi looked at his father, who was slumped in his seat, like a puddle of mud, and suddenly laughed, laughing so much that his stomach hurt.
Tang Xiucai just stared at him with his eyes, and he didn't bother to speak.
"Dad, let me tell you a secret, in fact, the content of training for different types of recruits is different. For example, the pikeman, as long as he practiced the queue and assassination, the wolf hand had to work hard and lift the stone lock. The only thing is that there are many items for the soldiers in charge of reconnaissance, such as cross-country running, crossing obstacles, and later learning to infiltrate assassination, capture prisoners, conceal poisons, and even learn some Japanese. Dad, if you can't stand it, you'll train with the pikemen tomorrow. ”
Tang Xiucai's eyes suddenly widened, his throat whimpered, and he barely popped out: "Why didn't you say it earlier?" ”
"Didn't you ask?"
I have to have the energy to ask, Tang Xiu can be sure to understand, this kid is interested in looking at his own goodness, he said angrily: "Anyway, if you can hold on, I can!" ”
Tang Yi scratched his head and said with a smile: "Dad, I want to accompany you to grow old, but General Lu gave me the task to find some blacksmiths to come over, although Lord Chen promised to give weapons, in fact, it is just a disguise, the key is to build swords and shields by yourself, and use them with confidence." ”
Excuses, definitely excuses!
Tang Xiucai clearly saw the pride of the little fox stealing a chicken from his son's eyes, this kid was digging a pit for himself!
"If I had the strength, I'd have to beat your ass to pieces!" Tang Xiucai simply closed his eyes, not wanting to look at Tang Yi, and the next second he opened them, because the fragrance wafted in.
"Eat slowly, eat slowly!"
Aunt Zhu was dumbfounded, how did Si Swenwen's old man become a hungry ghost, he was full after eating one or two buns in the past, but today he will not stop eating five in one go. It's really pitiful, what kind of sin did you suffer to make people like this!
"Little Xianggong, you and the master are both decent people, but you can't wronged yourself, we are distressed when we look at it."
Tang Yi just bowed his head and didn't speak, in all fairness, he wanted his father to improve his skills, but he couldn't bear to let his father suffer, so he just let his father choose by himself!
At this time, Tang Xiucai had already eaten seven buns and had a full burp. didn't answer Aunt Zhu's words, but asked, "Is the water ready?" ”
"Alright."
Tang Xiucai stood up strongly, and every step he took was a piercing pain in the soles of his feet, but his stubborn temper came up, and he didn't let people carry it, so he could only hold on to the wall and move with difficulty. Looking at the staggering father, Tang Yi's nose was sour, and asked Shen Lin to send a few bamboo sticks and a jar of balsamic vinegar, Shen Lin sent everything, Tang Yi sent him out, and the two of them were left in the house.
Tang Yi pressed his father on the circle chair, brought a basin of hot water, squatted in front of Tang Xiucai, took off his cloth shoes, the smell of sweat pierced his nostrils, Tang Yi held his breath, his little face was red, and Tang Xiucai almost laughed. Tang Yi glanced at his father, and quickly pressed his feet into the hot water, and Tang Xiucai trembled.
"Hot!"
"Well, bear with me!"
The pancreas is first coated, then carefully rinsed, and the muddy water is cleaned, revealing the white and delicate original face. Looking at a pair of big feet comparable to a woman, Tang Yi suddenly realized that although his father was not born with a golden spoon, but at least a copper spoon, except for a few years of downfall, his father has always been clothed to reach out for food to open his mouth, pampered, when did he suffer so much!
Tang Yi suddenly felt that his bad taste was simply a crime, full of unfilial piety! When he put his feet on his thighs, the blisters on the soles of his feet were revealed, some of them were still dark red, covered with blood, which was particularly dazzling.
Tang Yi's nose was sour for no reason, his eyes turned red, and he silently took the bamboo stick.
"Dad, it's faster to pierce the good ones."
"Hmm!" Tang Xiucai smiled and nodded.
Tang Yi picked the blisters one by one, and the red liquid flowed out, although Daddy couldn't make a sound, Tang Yi could still feel Daddy's calves twitching. Poking the blister as fast as he could, Tang Yi brought hot water again and poured in some balsamic vinegar.
"Soak well, lest you get infected."
After serving his father, Tang Yi turned around and was busy fetching water for himself, he lowered his head deeply, for fear that his father would see the red circles under his eyes. Tang Xiucai asked curiously: "Stinky boy, do you want your father to help you?" ”
"No, no." Tang Yi explained: "The child has been practicing martial arts for more than half a year, and he has become a lot stronger when he runs and has a lot of food. It is true that Tang Yi does not have any blisters on his feet.
Both father and son were soaking their feet with their eyes closed, not saying a word, but their minds were completely different. After being silent for a while, Tang Yi said, "Dad, leave the matter of military training to General Lu, don't go." ”
Tang Xiucai raised his eyebrows, suddenly patted his son's shoulder meaningfully, and said with a smile: "What, I feel sorry for your father?" ”
Tang Yi didn't deny it, and the two of them were silent again, until the water became cold, Tang Yi was about to get up to heat the water, but Tang Xiucai held him down hard.
"Yi'er, you are a filial child, Dad knows in his heart, you will do great things in the future, Dad knows even more! But my father is also a six-foot man, and he can't be a waste who relies on his son! ”
Although Tang Xiucai's tone was gentle, the big hand on his shoulder kept trembling, revealing the excitement in his heart.
"Your father is now an inspector, so you must have the ability to protect the safety of the canal and seek its own government in its position, this is your father's duty!"
"But ......"
"No, but!" Tang Xiucai suddenly became categorical, patted the top of his son's head with his big hand, and smiled gently: "Yi'er, during today's training, General Lu said a sentence that tells you to sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in wartime. Your father is deeply touched! ”
Tang Yi blinked and said embarrassedly: "It was the child who said it first!" ”
"Hahaha, no matter who says it, the truth is always right!" Tang Xiucai smiled and said: "The more troublesome the Japanese are getting worse, as the saying goes, there is no harm in learning to train soldiers to fight." ”
For the first time, Tang Yi was completely persuaded by his father, as a man and a father, the pursuit of progress should be encouraged at any time, and men should be so ruthless! Especially in the years of war, how important it is to have the power to protect yourself! Tang Yi really couldn't find a reason to refute, but he couldn't bear to bear his father's hardship, his throat seemed to be stuck, and he didn't know what to say.
"Alright, from tomorrow, I'll move to the barracks." Tang Xiucai said with a smile: "Prepare some linen clothes for me, as well as leather boots, to be strong!" ”
The father and son looked at each other, and Tang Xiucai smiled with a shining smile: "Don't worry, your father can do it!" ”
……
Three days passed in a blink of an eye, Tang Yi was busy building weapons, and he didn't step into the barracks at a step, he was waiting, waiting for the day when he entered the barracks, he could see his father heroically galloping. Phoenix Nirvana-like transformation, Tang Yi is even more looking forward to seeing his father soaring in the nine days, as for the sweat and tears, let's leave it to him to taste!
On this day, Tang Yi was busy, and suddenly Wu Tiancheng hurriedly found him.
"Master, there was an accident in the canal, two boats sank, and the channel was blocked!"
