Years ago, the bowl of tasteless soup cakes, the raw meat, and the coarse wine that choked tears were rare to eat in my life.

- Shen Liushu

Lao Mu has been indifferent to fame and fortune all his life, and since the death of his wife and children, he is even more pessimistic about the dispute between the court and court, and he put down the general and came to this barren north. Until this letter, it is estimated that it has been more than 20 years.

Yang Tianao is also strange, there are two hundred corpses in this city, but Lao Mu is missing, but Lao Mu is still missing. If you want to say that he is greedy for life and afraid of death, Yang Tianao is the first to disbelieve, Lao Mu has risked his life many times when he was still in power, and saved Yang Tianao and others, who were young and vigorous at that time, and now these people's faces are really disgusting, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and Lao Mu saved the wrong person.

The young man didn't have any luggage, but the Pu knife and the wooden box in his arms couldn't be moved, and he still remembered that Yang Tianao saw him asleep, and wanted to help him clean up, so as not to feel uncomfortable, but he never thought that the young man got up violently, protected tightly, and stared at himself with a pair of clear eyes, like a little lion protecting food.

Lao Mu means to let him take the young man to experience, if he can find a good life in the future, marry a wife and have children, it will be regarded as living up to his kindness back then, since it is Lao Mu's meaning, he naturally has to do it. To his surprise, the boy didn't even ask too much and went with him.

The young man was silent all the way, and the only few words were just to ask where Lao Mu was, Yang Tianao was not ordinary patience, which surprised all the officers and soldiers. The accompanying supervisor, Lord Lang Zhongdi of the Military Department, has reported to him more than once that this army is by no means a place to take children, but Yang Tianao just doesn't like him. Since the founding of this dynasty, there has indeed been a system of supervising the army, but it is the first time that such a trivial matter as suppressing bandits still has to supervise the army. He is also a mirror in his heart, but he is a little bit of a small night, and he is not used to seeing him, blowing the wind in the ears of the saint and chewing the roots of his ears. This emperor is also a mediocre person, since the reform of Shenzong, Wang Jiefu presided over the change of the law, many times to no avail, Zhezong has no children under his knees, succeeded by his younger brother Huizong, and now it is not as good as the generation, there are old and new party disputes inside, and there are Liaojin tigers outside, in the final analysis, it is not self-inflicted. The ancients said: Born in sorrow, die in peace.

Heavy literature and suppress martial arts, there is a saying in the market, everything is inferior, only reading is high. Yang Tianao is a martial artist, but he is also helpless, not to mention that this literati's mouth is really powerful, he doesn't have the shocking ability to fight the Confucianism, and he dares to shout. It's a pity that these civil officials have no talent for sophistry, but no ability for practical work.

Collecting troops is not as good as sending troops, this is also a rare leisure time with public funds, although it is also a hurry, but it is obviously much slower than when it came.

Passing by the post station, Yang Tianao asked the sergeants to rest, and ordered Xiao Er to bring up all the good wine and food in the store.

Xiao Er also has eyes to see children, seeing that he is a member of the official family, and with that flattering look, he can't wait to be the good wine and good meat to fill the stomachs of these uncles.

Most of the people in the army are rough men, and their speech is naturally vulgar, "Grandma, I drove around so far and wide, and I didn't use the knife much, so I had to go back." ”

"Isn't it? I thought there were many rebel bandits, but I didn't even see a single figure, but I became a sweeper. The other chimed in.

"When I go back to the capital, I will definitely find the girl in the piano workshop, warm my hands. ”

One of them teased, "I think I want to warm your body." ”

The crowd was happy, and the laughter was a little harsh.

A man who looked like an officer walked over, and it seemed that he was probably a centurion, "Okay, don't make trouble, should I say it or not, these guys have an iron heart, and they don't leave anyone alive, where are they like rogues, at least there is some bottom line." ”

Even when the chief spoke, these people agreed, "That's true." ”

A bold man who had a good relationship with him on weekdays asked secretly, "Boss, what's the matter with that child?"

As he spoke, he pointed to the young man who was sitting opposite Tianao not far away, holding a knife.

"The inn is relatively small, and it doesn't have any delicious features, but it's a stomach. We are also a group of rough men, and most of the wine and meat we eat on weekdays, I guess you can't get used to it, so I asked Xiao Er to make soup cakes for you, eat them while they're hot. Saying that, Yang Tianao pushed the hot soup cake in front of the young man.

The young man didn't look at the soup cake, and still said the same sentence, "What about Lao Mu?"

Yang Tianao is a person who has come over, and knows the pain of parting with his relatives, but it is not okay to go on like this, the young man is already thin, and he has hardly eaten except drinking water these days.

Lord Di on the side was happy, he was a civil official, naturally he couldn't stand this kind of hard life in the military, he still had some hope for wine and meat, and he could finally eat a good meal, who knew that the wine was so strong, and he was flustered, and this meat was half-cooked and couldn't be bitten. I heard that the soup cake also wanted to have a bowl, but I was told that the noodles in this room were only enough to make this bowl, so I thought about it for a while. found a good reason for himself, and said in a coy manner, "It's a waste, it's better for the official to eat." ”

As he spoke, he was going to get it, and he said that it was too late and that it was fast, but in the blink of an eye, this soup cake was in Yang Tianao's hand. Yang Tianao is a martial artist, he doesn't have so many flower intestines, ghost thoughts, and his speech is also direct, "Lord Di and a child grabbed food, isn't it appropriate?"

Although he was seen through his mind and blushed, he still had to quibble, "This official just feels that it is a bit of a waste to put it away, this is it, since General Yang took it, doesn't General Yang think the same?"

It is said that civil officials have the ability to sophistry, and this can be beaten upside down, Yang Tianao didn't want to argue with him, but whispered something in the young man's ear, and put the noodle soup in front of him again.

The young man was obviously stunned for a moment, and then tiptoed to pick up the chopsticks, picked up the bowl and took a small sip.

Even if he eats noodles, the boy still holds the knife and the wooden box and does not let go, in order to prevent things from slipping, he has to hook his feet and tilt his head, and the posture is really awkward.

The collision between the soup and the lips and teeth became louder and louder, after all, it was a child, hungry for too long, and after a while, such a bowl of soup cakes was eaten to the bottom.

Master Di on the side saw that he was greedy, swallowed his saliva, and glanced at the bowl without giving up.

It's also funny, but Yang Tianao didn't say it, otherwise he would not be able to bear it if he made some eloquent arguments, and he also drank wine and ate meat by himself.

Master Di felt bored, and he couldn't get used to eating these coarse foods, so he left under the pretext of excuses.

After the young man finished eating the soup cake, he seemed to be a little hungry, staring at the beef in Yang Tianao's hand.

"You want?"

The boy nodded first, then busily shook his head.

Yang Tianao, take out the dagger he carried, and give a small piece to the young man, it's not that he is really stingy, it's just that this meat is raw, the young man just ate hot soup cakes before, and now he eats this meat, if he eats too much, it is easy to bloate his stomach, and it is not good for the stomach.

The young man took the meat, looked at Yang Tianao, and looked at the meat.

"Eat. ”

The boy should have been the first to eat this kind of meat, and it took a lot of effort to bite into the next piece.

Yang Tianao motioned to the young man to give him the meat, and he used a dagger to cut the meat into small pieces, so that the young man could chew it.

Looking at the young man's slightly funny eating appearance, Yang Tianao became interested in the young man in front of him for the first time, "What's your name?"

"Little sand. The boy chewed on the meat in his mouth, slurred.

Yang Tianao seemed to be thinking about something, and his words were amazing

"I have been fighting all the year round, and I have no children under my knees, I call Lao Mu my father, and you are Lao Mu's grandson, if you don't dislike it, how about I accept you as a righteous son?"

The young man choked and coughed, and Yang Tianao subconsciously gave him the cup. I took a sip, felt that it was wine, and choked on tears.
