Chapter 70: Ma Zifu

Niu San came directly to Ma Zifu's house and saw that Ma Zifu was riding a ladder to repair the house, Ma Zifu's adoptive father Ma Gui was squatting in the yard and pointing, Ma Zifu's sister Zhao Di was feeding the chickens in the corner of the yard, and the sound of a spinning wheel came from the house.

Seeing Niu San enter the courtyard gate, Ma Gui didn't get up, but just greeted with a smile: "Hey, Niu San is here!" ”

Niu San had a gloomy face, ignoring Ma Gui, and Ma Gui didn't care.

Hearing Niu San enter the door, a seven or eight-year-old boy ran out of the house, looked at Niu San with a look of hope, and when he saw that Niu San's hands were empty, he returned to the house with a disappointed face.

Niu San said directly to Ma Zifu on the ladder: "Xiaofu, don't do it first, come down to the meeting, I'll tell you something." ”

Ma Zifu glanced at Ma Gui, and saw that Ma Gui had no objection, so he got down the ladder and came to Niu San: "Uncle, what's the matter?" ”

Niu San turned his back and walked out: "You come out, I'll tell you." ”

Ma Gui said in a strange yin and yang aura behind him: "Hey, what else do you Niu San have to say that even I, a father, can't listen to?" ”

Niu San turned around abruptly and looked at Ma Gui: "If you are willing to listen, you can come out together, if I can't control my temper, don't be surprised if I hurt you." ”

Ma Gui seemed to be a little jealous of Niu San, and when he heard Niu San say this, he smiled dryly: "You say yours, I don't bother to listen to it, I might as well rest more if I have this idle work." ”

Coming to a secluded place outside the courtyard, Niu San stood still, and before Niu San could ask, Ma Zifu said softly: "Third uncle, you don't need to persuade me, I have already made up my mind about joining the army." ”

Ma Zifu looks like Niu Zilu five or six points, but he is much weaker than Niu Zilu Xiaowen, if the two stand together, people who don't know will definitely think that Ma Zifu is the younger brother, the wind and sand and the sun in the northwest make the faces of the children here generally darker and dyed with two blush, but Ma Zifu's face is a little pale.

is different from the firmness and stubbornness in Niu Zilu's eyes, Ma Zifu's eyes give people a sense of firmness, and at the same time, they reveal a lot of maturity and stability.

Niu San said angrily: "You have only lived for a few years, just tell me that you have made up your mind, what do you know?" Do you know the danger of the battlefield, it is a place of cannibalism, you get to that place, your life is not your own, your father only has a son like you, he has died in battle, I don't want you to have any accidents. You go to join the army, why doesn't your mother stop you a little, you tell me, is this matter a big deal? Don't be afraid, there is a third uncle. ”

Hearing Niu San's words of concern in the reproach, Ma Zifu's eyes were slightly red: "Third uncle, you know, my mother can't say anything at home, after my father heard the news that one person in the Flying Eagle Regiment can be exempted from paying taxes for the whole family for five years, he had this idea, and my age is enough, and joining the army is also a good place for me." Third uncle, I know that you take care of me, you have not eaten enough all these years, and you have to squeeze out food to help me, if it were not for you, I may not live so much, if my nephew dies on the battlefield, it will be fine, if my nephew is lucky enough to make a name, I will definitely repay you and the third aunt. ”

Niu San saw Ma Zifu's slightly red eyes, his heart was also soft, and his tone was not as tough as just now: "What are you talking about, you are my own nephew, do I need your reward for taking care of you?" The three of us brothers, your uncle left early, even I haven't seen him, so there is no impression, so there are only me and your father in the family, two brothers, from childhood to adulthood, your father took care of me in everything, let me, in the end, in order to reduce the burden on the family, he went to the army, let me stay at home, every time I see you, I feel a little guilty, he died in the army for our family, but I didn't take care of his only son, if you have any accidents, How can you let me see your father in a hundred years! ”

Ma Zifu shook his head slightly and said: "Everyone has everyone's life, my father died on the battlefield, it was his life is not good, you don't have to feel guilty." You taught me to read and write when I was very young, took me to your house to have a full meal while the third aunt and Zilu Zishou were away, and asked the third aunt to stuff some food for my mother from time to time. Later, when I grew up, you were afraid that you would hurt my self-esteem, so I asked Zilu to work with me, took out the steamed buns at home and shared them with me, and told me that he stole them, in fact, I knew in my heart that all this Zilu did was instructed by you and the third aunt. ”

Ma Zifu looked firm: "Now that I have grown up, I need to go down by myself in the future, you and my third aunt can't take care of me for a lifetime, this time joining the army is my first step, you just let me go down." ”

Niu San sighed, a little sad, but more relieved: "You can say such things, it seems that you have really grown up, you are right, I can't take care of you for a lifetime, and you have to walk by yourself in the future." ”

Ma Zifu said with a smile: "Third uncle, you have always regarded me as a child, thinking that I went to the army on a whim, but in fact it is not, I have been thinking about this matter for a long time." You know, this time in Weizhou, Zilu and I signed up to help take care of the wounded, and met a lot of sergeants, like Ma Xuan in the registration office, in fact, I knew him when I was in Weizhou City, I heard that he was very powerful, and he killed seven or eight party devils alone; There is also the captain of the Flying Eagle Regiment, Qin Zhen, who is younger than me, although I have not met him, I heard that he was seriously injured, but according to Dong Feng, who was in charge of taking care of him, he told us about Qin Zhen, saying that he would be a person like Qin Zhen when he grew up, do you know why we were able to enter Weizhou City without falling all of them this time, I heard that it was this Qin Captain who suggested it to Captain Wang who was still in Tong'an Town; There is also Meng Xuan, I heard that he is very powerful, and only Guo Duwei may be able to defeat him in the whole Weizhou; Unlike previous years, this time when we fought with the party members, in fact, the party members had more casualties than us, but because our army was too small, so in the end, we still let the party people kill so many of us outside the city, and more than 100 of those dead party members heard that Qin Xiaowei and Meng Xuan took the killing, do you know how many people Qin Xiaowei and Meng Xuan brought? ”

Niu San had already been shocked by Ma Zifu's words and didn't know what to do, Qin Zhen and Meng Xuan he hadn't seen them, although he was shocked by their deeds, but his mind was just a fictitious high phantom; But Ma Xuan is different, he has seen it with his own eyes, and he has said a lot of things together, this kind of very concrete impact cannot be described in words, he didn't expect that the young man who called himself uncle just now was so brave. He didn't expect that his weak nephew went to Weizhou and learned so many things, and when his understanding of the Flying Eagle Regiment was only in its name, his nephew had already analyzed its internal members, and he was also a little knowledgeable in Tong'an Town, but now it seems that it is far from his nephew.

When he heard Ma Zifu's question, Niu San shook his head blankly.

"More than fifty people!" Ma Zifu raised his arm, spread his five fingers, and spoke in a generous and proud tone.

"Third uncle, if you stay in Tong'an Town to farm, then my whole life will be like that, it's better to fight, with such an army, even if I really die in battle one day, I have no regrets, if I don't die, I will always have the day to get ahead."

Niu San sighed: "I originally wanted to convince you, but I didn't want to be shaken by what you said, I really responded to a sentence, and the future life is terrifying." Okay, the third uncle won't persuade you in this matter. But the third uncle has a saying, if you really go to the battlefield, you must pay more attention. ”

Ma Zifu smiled: "Third uncle, I can save it." ”

After speaking, Ma Zifu hesitated for a moment and continued: "Third uncle, in fact, Zilu also has the idea of joining the army, but Zilu's personality is different from mine, maybe it is inconvenient for him to say a lot of things to you and the third aunt, but he will tell me, I hope that if you and the third aunt do not agree with him to join the army, how good you are to persuade him, don't stop it, Zilu's stubborn temper, the more you stop it, the easier it is to drill the horns." ”

Niu San smiled: "The two of us fell one by one, I originally persuaded you, but now you are here to persuade me." Okay, I listened to what you said, and I will go back to persuade your third aunt. ”

Saying that, Niu San sighed again: "Just your third aunt, she is also a stubborn temper that nine cows can't pull back, and the two stubborn tempers have met together, alas, it's difficult!" ”

Ma Zifu was silent, he couldn't answer this.

Niu San sighed, and said to Ma Zifu: "Okay, then you have to come home to see your grandmother in the past two days, she misses you a lot, this time you enter the barracks, you are not free, and it is not so easy to see each other again." ”

Ma Zifu nodded and said, "Alas, when I am almost busy at home, I will take time to visit her old man." ”

After talking with Niu San, Ma Zifu returned to his yard, Ma Gui was playing with his youngest son in the yard, and when he saw Ma Zifu coming in, he asked in a cold voice: "What did Niu San tell you?" ”

Ma Zifu said calmly: "It's nothing, it's just my military business." ”

Ma Gui sneered: "I guess he came here for this, what kind of fart is he holding back, can he hide it from me?" I can tell you, I've raised you for so many years, you can't say whatever Niu San says, you are now surnamed Ma. ”

Ma Zifu ignored Ma Gui, climbed straight up the ladder, continued to work, suddenly stopped, turned his head and said, "Don't worry, since I decided to go, I won't regret it." ”

The sound of the spinning wheel in the house suddenly stopped for a moment, and began to "chirp" again.
