Chapter 172: The Past of the Shepherd

Why Lin Xiaotian respects Mu Lao so much, this has to start with Vietnam's self-defense counterattack.

In 1979, Vietnam, with the support of the Soviet Union, acted hostilely against China and began to attack China's borders.

In response to Vietnam's provocative acts, China repeatedly protested and warned, and Vietnam relied on its relations with the Soviet Union to turn a deaf ear, and in order to reassure the Chinese people and safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity, the Chinese leader at that time issued an order for war.

And this is the opportunity for Lin Xiaotian and the old man to get to know each other.

At that time, Mu Lao was a company commander of the troops entering Vietnam, and Lin Xiaotian was a scout in Mu Lao's company.

At that time, China had just finished ten years *****, and the country was in ruins, poor and white, so the supply of many materials was very tight.

As a scout in the company, Lin Xiaotian needs to constantly carry out reconnaissance tasks, and in the process of operation, it is common to run out of military rations and drinking water, and due to the harsh conditions in Vietnam, most of the time there is no edible food and water.

Because the mobility of the scouts is relatively high, they can't bring a lot of military rations and drinking water, and Lin Xiaotian is often hungry, tired and thirsty when he is on reconnaissance missions.

As the company commander, the old man naturally knew about this, and every time Lin Xiaotian went out on a long mission, the old man would always hand over the compressed biscuits distributed to him by the army to Lin Xiaotian.

At that time, compressed biscuits were the standard for cadres above the company level, and they had a share every week.

This is also the process of Lin Xiaotian and the old man getting to know each other.

During an attack on the Vietnamese troops, due to intelligence errors, their company fell into the trap of the Vietnamese army, and the troops suffered heavy casualties, and due to the unfamiliarity of the terrain, they got lost in the dense jungle.

The Vietnamese army pursued them and finally trapped them in a mountain.

The lack of food, coupled with the difficulty of running out of water, caused many of the soldiers to die in Huangquan.

In the end, only Lin Xiaotian and Mu Lao were left.

In order to save the dying Lin Xiaotian, the old man resolutely separated his wrist and fed Lin Xiaotian up with his own blood.

Lin Xiaotian was moved.

In order to convey the news, Mu Lao decided to lure away the Vietnamese army alone and create a chance for Lin Xiaotian to escape.

Lin Xiaotian still remembers what the old man said to him.

The old man said: "You are a scout, younger and stronger than me, you still have a lot of life to go, you have a better chance of survival than me, so I will lead the enemy away." ”

Lin Xiaotian cried and begged to give him the task of this bait, but the old man pointed a gun at Lin Xiaotian's head to make him obey the order, and finally Lin Xiaotian tearfully agreed, he knew that the company commander would enter the Longtan Tiger's Den this time, and he would die for life.

That night, Mu Lao ran out of the cave and fired several shots to attract the Vietnamese army, Lin Xiaotian seized this opportunity and ran in one direction, and his hard work paid off, he finally escaped and was rescued by the soldiers who entered Vietnam.

Lin Xiaotian's intelligence played a major role, but he knew that this information was exchanged for Mu Lao's life.

Three days later, there was still no news from the company commander, just when he thought that Mu Lao would definitely die, fortunately, with the favor of God, Mu Lao survived, and he successfully escaped from the encirclement and interception of the Vietnamese army and escaped.

At this time, the other people are not ghosts, they are covered in blood and flesh, even the military doctor can't bear to look at them directly, and he can survive such a serious injury, which has to be said to be a miracle.

He was then sent back to his home country for treatment.

After the end of Vietnam's self-defense counterattack, Lin Xiaotian rose all the way up, became a major general at the age of 50, and then worked for a few years before retiring with honor.

He never forgot the life-saving grace of the old man, and asked someone to inquire about the old man but there was no news.

At this moment, goodbye to the old man who thought he was a lieutenant general, the psychological defense line in his heart collapsed, and crystal tears welled up from the corners of his eyes when he was about to reach his prime.

"It doesn't have to be like this," said the shepherd with a light sigh.

Lin Xiaotian said: "Company commander, your life-saving grace to Xiaotian, Xiaotian will never forget it in this life. ”

Lin Xiaotian asked again: "Company commander, I've been looking for you for so many years, where have you been?" ”

Mu Lao smiled and said: "After I was injured and returned to China for treatment and recovery, I was arranged by the organization to work in a secret ** base, and all my information has long been erased, of course you can't find me." ”

Lin Xiaotian nodded thoughtfully, I see, no wonder he couldn't find it after looking for so many years.

The old man couldn't help but say: "Lin boy, this time I came to save people and arrest people, don't blame me for not being emotional, blame you for messing with people who shouldn't be messed with." ”

Lin Xiaotian stood up, he gritted his teeth and asked, "Company commander, can you tell me conveniently, who did we provoke?" ”

Mu Lao said: "Do you know the Shangguan family? ”

"What, Shangguan Family!" Lin Shanhe shouted, the Shangguan family, one of the top families in the world, controls eight percent of the world's economy, and is a giant in many fields.

Lin Xiaotian understands the power of the Shangguan family better than Lin Shanhe.

"How so?" Lin Xiaotian muttered.

The old man said: "That unscrupulous descendant of yours should have been executed, but fortunately, you and I still have some relationship in the military department, and at my insistence, your grandson was able to save his life." ”

Lin Xiaotian pressed his eyes, and he said bitterly: "Thank you, company commander, I owe you another big favor this time." ”

Mu Lao put down the teacup and got up and said: "Lin boy, you can be regarded as ruined this time, with my understanding of the Shangguan family, most of you, the Lin family, will ......."

The old man didn't say anything, Lin Xiaotian naturally understood.

He hurriedly said, "Company commander, you show me a clear way, how should I remedy it." ”

The old man said as he walked: "You still need to tie the bell to the bell, you better go and ask your grandson." ”

Lin Xiaotian and the three of them stayed in place.

Old Man Lin said with a hideous face: "This is not a descendant! ”

Splendid Weiyang Community, in Shangguan Blowing Snow's bedroom.

Shangguan Fuxue paced back and forth in the room, and from time to time she picked up the mobile phone on the table to check, for fear of missing any important news.

The familiar music sounded, and Shangguan Chuixue hurriedly connected it.

"Hey, is it Miss?"

Shangguan Chuixue said eagerly: "Yes, Elder Li, it's me, how did I let you do it." ”

Li Lao said on the other end of the phone: "Miss has rescued you, but now he is in the affiliated hospital." ”

"What?" Shangguan Blowing Snow's eyes widened.

"Tell me more about it."

"Miss, it's all the fault of your subordinates, your boyfriend was hit on the head with a hard object and is now in a coma, you don't have to worry, I have sent our family's top medical team, and your boyfriend will be fine with them."

Shangguan Chuixue was stunned, the satellite phone in his hand slipped and fell to the ground, Wang Hao, Wang Hao, how could this be.
