Chapter 22: Old Friends (2)

Old Man Dong bumped into Li Qiusheng, who had a quick mouth, with an angry gaze, and a dry cold snort emanated from his nose, as if he said intentionally or unintentionally.

"You kid is the most trouble-making starving ghost, you don't think you're ashamed to be conspicuous, I still think you're a brainless ghost? If you don't make a sound, no one will treat you as dumb, go and stay. ”

Li Qiusheng glanced sideways at Old Man Dong again, and snorted coldly. "Don't restrain me with your annoying etiquette, old man. People don't care about this anymore, what are you still worried about? I didn't eat more and take your portion, what are you afraid of? "After that, it's like a negative bull again, rushing straight there.

Old Man Dong turned his head and said, "Boy, you don't have to pay attention to your annoying deflated three." When you enter this Lei Mansion, you have to talk about some rules, don't be embarrassed in front of others. Although this Lei Hu is my sworn brother who has been separated for many years, in the end, we are relying on someone else's family, and we still have to be more or less restrained. If we make people laugh at us, it will be the bad luck we deserve, and our reputation will be ruined. ”

Li Qiusheng suddenly sighed, "Ouch, the more the old man talks, the more serious it gets, it seems that I, Li Qiusheng, have to close my mouth." Otherwise, I really lost the old face of Old Man Dong, I can't afford to lose your heroic name. "After saying that, I can no longer care if Master Lei's face is cold or hot? Just lawlessly dropped this sentence.

The thunder tiger turned around and heard that Old Man Dong and Li Qiusheng were so unscrupulous in front of him, and hurriedly laughed. "Brother, don't worry. Young people are always competitive, just like our brothers at the beginning, who are not muttering about winning or losing. You just bear with it, let this kid fool around, brother, of course I don't care about this. ”

"Old scumbag, this is done, if you indulge this kid, you don't know that you will make trouble at that time. Besides, this time is different from the past, we are fleeing from disasters and not walking the streets and alleys to climb relatives. Everything has to be carefully calculated, if you poke out the hug, it is a bad thing to burn yourself. At that time, it will affect the old and young of the brother's family, it is a great sin, you tell the brother to go there to live in peace. Old Man Dong still said with a panicked face, as if he was saying it to Lei Hu, but it was more like deliberately saying it to Li Qiusheng.

While the three of them were talking, the maid of the Lei Mansion had already put a steaming meal on the table. Lei Hu shouted and welcomed Old Man Dong and Li Qiusheng into the seat, Lei Hu first poured a full glass of wine to Old Man Dong, and then poured down the wine glass in front of Li Qiusheng, and then filled the wine glass in front of him and raised his glass and said, "The younger brother would like to entertain the two of you with this thin wine, I hope the eldest brother will not dislike the hospitality of the younger brother, and cool the younger brother's warm hospitality to the eldest brother." ”

"Of course it won't be like this, how rare it is to meet in a foreign country, how can the eldest brother flick the younger brother's heart. The eldest brother must be as the younger brother wants, our brothers will not get drunk tonight, everything will be restless, only about brotherhood. Old Man Dong continued Lei Hu's words and said, his face no longer had the previous restraint and embarrassment.

At this time, Li Qiusheng on the side had already rolled up his sleeves, and drank wine and ate meat as if no one was around. That look like a bear, it's like a little beggar who hasn't eaten a fishy meal in ten years, and today he suddenly gets a sumptuous dinner.

Lei Hu and Old Man Dong looked at each other and smiled, then pushed the cup and changed it again, and no longer cared about Li Qiusheng, who was eating by himself.

At the second watch, after a banquet, the three of them were already drunk and blind, and they changed their shapes.

Old Man Dong squinted and saw that it was too late, so he got up and turned it over. Leaving behind the complacent Lei Hu in the banquet, he pulled Li Qiusheng out of the calyx.

Seeing the situation, Lei Hu hurriedly shouted, "Brother, what's wrong with you, even a few glasses of thin wine from the younger brother's family can get you drunk?" Your spirits have gone there, which is really a surprise to my brother. ”

Old Man Dong shook his head and turned his head, and said dizzily. "Brother, don't laugh at my brother, my brother has been very boring in the past few years. I drank less wine, I didn't socialize with others, and I almost forgot all the things of the old days. This amount of alcohol is naturally not as good as that of my brother, so let's find a place to sleep with him. Also, this kid's business is not to be careless. If the news leaks out, won't the Lei Mansion get into trouble? ”

Lei Hu laughed again when he heard this, and then followed suit. "Brother, have you forgotten? This is my brother's house, do you still need to find a good place to sleep? In that case, okay, don't worry about it. As soon as the brother gave the order, you just have to follow these subordinates in the house, and they will naturally serve the brothers in all matters of washing and changing clothes. If there's anything wrong, as long as my brother doesn't care. ”

Old Man Dong suddenly patted his head and shouted. "Ah, yes, look at my brother's memory, my head will be dizzy as soon as the wine enters my stomach. Even when he had entered his brother's house, he almost forgot about it. If it weren't for the brother reminding my brother that he was going to make a joke in this house, you look at my brother's monkey appearance, it seems that he really can't enter the land of wealth and glory, and in the end he still let his brother watch the joke. ”

It just so happened that Li Qiusheng boasted on the side, "Master Lei, this is not good." As soon as you enter the land of wealth and nobility, you are dizzy and do not argue between the east and the west, the north and the south, and you forget about the benefits you give. That's like me, this brainy, we can tell right from wrong even with a bang. As he spoke, he glanced at Old Man Dong coldly, as if he was watching a lively person. It's all about it, hang high.

Lei Hu left Old Man Dong at the time, stared at Li Qiusheng, this kid was full of mushy, and said with some hatred. "Li Gongzi, you are also drunk, so don't speak ill of our brother. Our brother said that it was not for your safety that he accompanied you to flee like this. Or who wants to be cold in the winter, and the gentle countryside is not up but hungry and wandering outside? Isn't that asking for trouble? ”

Li Qiusheng smiled slightly, teasing with a bit of wine. "What Master Lei said is, then I have to be grateful to this Old Man Dong. If he hadn't fled with me, wouldn't your brothers have been reunited? In the final analysis, it seems that it is my Li Qiusheng who has made your brothers who have been separated for decades finally reunited. ”

Old Man Dong seemed to be a little impatient and said, "Boy, you're just talking about it." Let's freshen up and get a good night's sleep. ”

After that, as soon as he pulled his hand, he took Li Qiusheng's hand and walked away.

The years seem like a double-edged sword, and it's fair to anyone.

Master Dong is no exception, after all, he is an old man. As soon as it stuck to the side of the bed, there was a thunderous sound, which resounded throughout the world. Fortunately, Li Qiusheng didn't sleep with him, otherwise this old man and young man might have come to a river boundary where Chu and Han fought in the middle of the night.

In this dream, Old Man Dong seemed to travel back to the past decades ago. Fragments of distant memories poured in like a tidal wave, slowly unfolding on his wrinkled face. He shuddered in horror a few times with the tense old skin on his face, squeezed out some rapid breath in his nostrils, and chirped some unknown squeaks in his mouth.

It seems that the scene in this dream must have reminded Old Man Dong of that worrying scene again.

More than ten years ago, in a desperate war to resist foreign invasion. As the commander of the team, in order to protect the only remaining hill of our army, the old man Dong took the last dozen remaining brothers to start a desperate bloody battle with the enemy chieftain.

The situation was extremely critical, and a black-haired man with a wound on his face arched his hand and said to Old Man Dong. "Big brother, you see that the alien brigade is rushing up again. There are only a dozen brothers left in our team, what do you think? Is it a war? Is it keep? Or run away, you have to have an idea. ”

After speaking, the black-haired man glanced back at the people behind him who were covered with wounds and colors, and then his eyes were sharply aimed at the slowly approaching enemy chieftain.

There was silence for a long time, and finally no one answered. All the soldiers had to kneel down to Old Man Dong together, and they all said loudly.

"Boss Dong, just say something. It's all about this time, so don't worry about it anymore. If we delay a little longer, none of us will be able to escape. ”

"Boss Dong, please, just send a word, it's up to you to decide whether you live or die. Our brothers will never be a bad seed, even if they die, they will fight to defeat the enemy chieftain. ”

"Boss Dong, we can be regarded as loyal to the country if we can survive until now. If you can leave a living mouth for your brothers, it will be considered your kindness! ”

"Boss Dong, hurry up and decide, don't hesitate. At this time, you withdraw, even if the prince can come back alive, he will not blame you. ”

"Yes, Boss Dong, let's withdraw! Please. ”

"You should leave a good father to those children who are waiting for the return of their relatives who are far away from home. Leave a good husband for the women who are still working at home. You will leave a few soldiers with a bit of backbone and murderous spirit for our Shanyue Kingdom! It's all the yin virtue you have accumulated for them. ”

Everyone's resignation and opinions were different, which made the old man Dong hesitate at that time for a while. Withdraw, the territory that he led his team to fight so hard to earn was handed over to the enemy country in this way, and the blood of the dead brothers was shed in vain. If you don't withdraw, the enemy country is outnumbered, and you are weak. There is no food and grass in front, and there are no reinforcements in the back, and if you continue to fight like this, the whole army will be wiped out, and no one will be left.

"Hey, heroes are short of breath, and children are long." It's difficult, Old Man Dong couldn't help but let out a long sigh at that time.

Suddenly, he drew his long sword and stood on a protruding stone pier and roared. "It's not that the brothers refuse to withdraw, it's just that they can't help but be for the country and their families. Those who are not afraid of death rush forward with me, and retreat with their old and young wives and children at home. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other, and we will live in peace. With that, with a wave of his sword, he directly greeted the enemy chief who rushed up in front of the formation, without looking at the wounded soldiers behind him.

Suddenly, everyone hesitated, just like a death row prisoner who had obtained the red order, and each chose their own path to rush towards each other.

After a bloody battle, some of the people who stayed behind actually fought to the death with Old Man Dong to gain a foothold, and those attacking enemy chiefs fled in embarrassment.

After another three difficult days, the supporting brigade still did not rest.

The repression of despair is suffocating, and the breath of death is getting stronger.

Those soldiers who fought desperately to the death again slowly surrounded the old man Dong who was leading the team at that time.

Although they were silent with each other, their heavy breathing and haggard eyes had already conveyed and betrayed each other's strongest desires and hopes at the moment.

At that time, the old man Dong once again silently lowered his high head, and his eyes were soaked with tears and Han water.

The armies of the enemy nation on the opposite side were still smug as they watched their opponents' dying struggles and sorrows, and they stared proudly at these vast tracts of land that were about to be reached, and they let out the fiercest and most arrogant mockery, devouring the opponent's side like a torrent.

And the desperation of the opponent's long-awaited reinforcements once again swept through the hearts of them and these remnants, and became their desperate salary.

Among them, someone came out and said to the old man Dong at that time, "Boss Dong, although we swear to follow you to defend the country and defend the country, but even if we fight all the reinforcements, we will be accused of dereliction of responsibility and betrayal of the countrymen." Looks like we're going to have to think about the future. ”

As soon as the topic opened, there were more people talking. Only the remaining dozen or so people rushed over again, surrounding Old Man Dong, waiting for the final instructions.

A thin boy said, "Big brother, you also saw it. The brothers have fulfilled their responsibilities with your heart, so don't be stubborn anymore, let's take the brothers and withdraw. I'll talk about the rest when we get down and survive. ”

"Well, Boss Dong, everyone calls you the eldest brother, do you still want to let your brothers die in vain? Can't you leave a way for your brothers to live? Most of the brothers are people with families, families, wives and children, forget it, if you don't withdraw, let's withdraw. Another of them said angrily.

"Yes, big brother, it's not that we are unkind and unjust, it's the sin of having no way to survive without reinforcements. Why do you have to have brothers to accompany you to die? Can't you think about it for your brothers? Be loyal, be loyal, we're all loyal now. An unrecognizable soldier with an injured face crossed the border and said.

For a while, everyone agreed. "Brothers, if Boss Dong doesn't leave, let's go, and we'll give up our lives here in vain."

"Let's go, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of running out of firewood."
