Chapter 315 The Man Who Cast the Fire

The carriage moved forward quickly and soon arrived home. Mrs. Lin asked Bai Gusheng for advice, boiled some water, gave her son a herbal bath, cooked some noodles for him, and then sent him to bed.

Xinbao and Yan Shenjue were sitting in the flower hall. Madam Lin came in listlessly. Xinbao said, "Mother!!"

Mrs. Lin groaned and stared at the charcoal fire in a daze. After a while, tears began to drip.

Xinbao was so frightened that he stopped playing with the magic ball and came over to hug A Niang's arm to comfort her: "Don't cry, A Niang. Who bullied A Niang? Xinbao will...Xinbao will ask Brother Xiaoxian to beat him up!"

Madam Lin cried for a long while, "What's the point of raising a son! What's the point of raising a son! When your wings are strong enough, just fly away! Xinbao, Jue'er, you are both good children. Stay by your mother's side and don't go anywhere! Do you hear me?"

Xinbao nodded vigorously: "Okay, okay."

Yan Shenjue also sat closer and responded softly, "Okay."

Madam Lin held his hand, then held Xinbao's chubby hand, crying and scolding: "You don't know, this heartless child will join the army in a few days, and will be gone for three years. Life has finally gotten better, and the family is together, but he has to go out to suffer. I feel sad when I think about it. I think about how much suffering he has to endure in that kind of place. Did I raise my son to this age just to suffer out there..."

Yes, join the army! It's time!

Xinbao's eyes suddenly widened, tears began to well up in her eyes, and then fell down. When she thought about not seeing her elder brother for a long, long time, she felt extremely sad.

The two of them cried facing each other. Yan Shenjue had his hands held by the two of them. He looked on silently, and his heart was infected by the sadness. Although he was not very familiar with Brother Tang, when he thought about not seeing him for a long time, he felt that... this matter was indeed a bit sad.

This is a rare experience for him.

The three of them were crying their hearts out when they heard the door open and someone came back talking.

Mrs. Lin was stunned and quickly pulled her hand away to wipe away her tears. Xinbao didn't hear anything at all and was still crying with her head down.

The next moment, the door opened and the old patriarch, Tang Qingshan, and Brother Tang came in.

Upon seeing this, the old patriarch was stunned: "What's going on?"

"Hey!" Madam Lin laughed anxiously, "The clan leader is here, please sit down quickly... Isn't it Xinbao and Jue'er who can't bear to let their eldest brother go, and they are crying and begging me to let him not go. I just told them that they really can't bear to let him go, but isn't this a big deal for defending our country? Even though our knowledge is limited, we must be sensible and can't stop him from making progress..."

Yan Shenjue: “…”

How can I put it? As soon as I heard it, I knew it wasn't her who said it.

Tuanzi didn't realize that her mother was pushing the blame on her. When she saw her big brother, she felt so wronged and overwhelmed with sorrow. She stretched out her arms desperately: "Big brother!! Brother!! Brother, hug me!!"

Brother Tang quickly picked the child up. Xinbao couldn't help crying any more. Brother Tang patted his back and tried to comfort him for a long time but it didn't work, so he just carried him out.

Yan Shenjue did not avoid them and just listened to the old patriarch talking to Tang Qingshan.

The old patriarch had just heard that Brother Tang was going to enlist in the military.

Everyone knew about it because the military service money was not paid yesterday, otherwise the Tang family would not have mentioned it at all.

For the Tang family today, paying the military service money is really not worth mentioning, so everyone is surprised.

Tang Qingshan also told him directly that it was Brother Tang who had the ambition and wanted to go, and he told him what he thought... It was not that he had any inside information, nor did he have any ready-made official position, nor did he plan to use any connections.

The old patriarch was a little surprised.

After a long while, he said seriously: "I think Fan'er is right!! This child has great ambitions! He has a big heart!! He is right! He is also right!"

He was a little emotional and stroked his beard. "Qingshan, why do you think I'm asking you this? When I was young, our area was in chaos! Really, I would close the door and go into the house when I heard the sound of horse hooves. I would watch through the crack of the door and wait for the people to leave before I dared to come out for fear of being killed by the barbarians... Later, the old King Wu'an beat the barbarians back to Mobei and cleared them out one by one. Only then did we have peace here. I'm not bragging to you, I saw the old King Wu'an with my own eyes! Wow, he was wearing armor and riding a big horse, so majestic!!"

He recalled for a long time before saying, "At that time, I really wanted to join the army! I really wanted to go!! But I was such a coward. When I told my father about it, he beat me up with firewood and I couldn't get out of bed for three days! Since then, I never dared to mention it again! But I regret it, I have always regretted it... Later, I became a father, and I could understand why my parents beat me, but I was also worried. I was thinking, why do people regard such a powerful general as a bad thing? Why don't they go?"

"I took our children Zhong, Xiao, Yi and Yong to watch the opera. I tell you, I took all my children to watch the opera. Idiots like Zhong and Xiao were only thinking about the dried rose dates outside. They were cunning and didn't know the deep meaning of their father taking them there! We Yi, he looked at the great general on the stage without blinking, he really understood the meaning. I thought to myself, we are Yi, how can I say it, his father is inheriting his father's business, but as soon as I said it, my wife hit him, hit him, I still think about this matter all the time."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Until I heard that your Fan'er was going, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. I'm old, but I couldn't sleep last night. You asked me to go to the oil mill, and I was so excited. I asked Youyi, do you really want to go? Youyi said he really wanted to go. He came to see your Fan'er this morning, right? When he got home, the child started crying and knelt in front of his mother, saying he wanted to go. I also wanted him to go. This time, I have really made up my mind!!"

Outside, Brother Tang was holding his sister, listening thoughtfully.

Even Tuanzi stopped crying gradually and just listened blankly.

At that time, she didn't think much about it, but now after hearing what the old patriarch said...how many people like the old patriarch are there in this world?

Big brother is right. Defending the country is an honorable thing and should not be used to punish guilty people! There should be no "exile" in the world, and soldiers should not be called "thieves in the army"! Just like this, a small idea is burned into a flame, and then a prairie fire is born again! ! Big brother Tang is the one who cast the fire! ! Especially at this time, Tang Qingshan has the title of county magistrate who benefits the people, then Big brother Tang's behavior will become more meaningful! !

I didn't have to do it, I just wanted to serve my country! I was willing to join the army to defend my country! ! Xinbao felt a surge of fire in his chest, opened his mouth wide, and bit his brother's face.

Brother Tang hissed, squinted his eyes to endure the pain, and held his sister's head: "Little darling, stop making trouble."

Xinbao opened his mouth and hugged him tightly.

She really loves her big brother, her home, and every one of her family members.
