They didn't believe that Old Man Lu was like this for no reason. This old guy was very cunning.
Those who know him know that he is a smiling tiger.
On the surface they appear to be very kind, but in fact, how many of those who have crawled out of a pile of dead bodies are truly kind?
He is the most ruthless one who plots behind people's backs.
Peng Laosan stared at Lu Zhiye with his fierce eyes. They were the ones who had rushed out from the sea of blood and corpses, so naturally they had some evil spirit on them.
In addition, they have been in high positions for many years, so most people dare not look them in the eye.
But the young man in front of him stood there neither humble nor arrogant, like a green pine.
Not afraid of their momentum at all.
Lu Mingde was also very satisfied with Lu Zhiye's performance. He glanced at the expressions of the old men and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He hit the ground twice with his crutch, making a thudding sound, which attracted everyone's attention.
“I called everyone here today to discuss something with you.
We are all old and our health is getting worse day by day.
Old Li: You called the doctor several times recently, right?
And you, Peng Laosan, are you unable to sleep every night because of leg pain?
I don't need to say much about you two, and I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, because I'm the same way.
Sometimes I dream about things from my youth.
Last time on the train, it was Xiao Lu who saved me. "
The previous sentences were all official language, and the last sentence attracted the attention of several old men.
"He saved you from your illness..."
"How is that possible? The doctor said that you won't survive for more than a year. You'll go to hell."
The voices of Peng Laosan and Lao Litou sounded at the same time.
Old Li knew when to stop, but the carefree Peng San spoke out everything he knew.
After saying this, he realized that he had spoken out of turn.
Isn't this obviously exposing yourself?
His old face was slightly stiff. He sat there without saying a word and no longer looked at Lu Mingde.
Lu Mingde was not surprised that they knew his physical condition.
Although they are brothers who have gone through many hardships together, their family power is growing stronger and stronger.
This created a rift and they were wary of each other. Even he had placed his own spies in the major families.
"It seems that everyone is quite familiar with my physical condition. To be honest, when Old Tan examined me before, he did say this.
But two days ago, he felt my pulse again and said that my pulse was much more stable, although it was still alive.”
Lu Mingde couldn't hide the smile on his face.
He pointed at Lu Zhiye and said, "This is all thanks to the pills he gave me."
To be honest, Lu Mingde didn't know whether he drank water or took pills in the emergency situation.
When Peng Laosan heard this, he felt his legs, which were pierced by thousands of needles, trembled a little.
His cloudy old eyes narrowed into a slit, and when he thought of the identity of this young man, he immediately understood.
The hand holding the walking stick creaked. If there really was such a magical ancient recipe, would it be able to reduce some of his pain?
Lu Zhiye stood there like a lamb to be slaughtered.
But no one noticed that this was just a wolf in sheep's clothing.
When Lu Mingde saw the wolf-like and ferocious eyes of several people, he smiled even more.
He waved his hand and said to Lu Zhiye: “Come, let me introduce you.
This is Li Huai, this is Peng Lao San, Bai Qing, and this is... Ji Lin!"
Lu Mingde pointed at the old man who was sitting alone on another sofa.
The old man was in high spirits, with a rosy complexion. Anyone who saw him would think that there was nothing wrong with him.
But those who are familiar with him know that although the old man seems easy to talk to, he is actually mentally ill.
Sometimes clear, sometimes confused.
In the doctor's words, this is a common psychological illness among people who have retired from the battlefield.
Even though they were a few people, they usually didn't dare to talk to Ji Lin.
They were afraid that he would take out a fake wooden gun from his waist and shoot them.
Now that the Ji family is powerful, they originally did not plan to call Old Man Ji over.
But in the words of their superiors, this is the medal of being a man, and during the military parade, they want to let others see how they sacrifice their lives and blood to defend their country.
The Ji family didn't want to miss this opportunity, so they forced the old man over.
Peng Laosan clenched his fingers, calmed down, and the aura of a superior burst out, and he said directly to Lu Zhiye: "My young comrade, you look like an old friend.
When I saw you, I felt like I was back to the first time I met your grandfather.
Your grandfather was very kind to us in the past. At that time, supplies were in short supply and the Japanese blocked most of the area, so medicines could not be brought in at all.
It was your grandparents who took people to the mountains to collect herbs and rescued our soldiers.
They really have a kind heart and have made great contributions later on.”
They brought out all of Mr. Lu's achievements and spoke highly of his kindness.
On the surface, Peng Laosan praised Mr. Lu's approach.
In fact, he wanted Lu Zhiye to follow his grandfather's example and hand over the recipe for free.
Lu Zhiye sneered, with the sarcasm on his face not concealed: "Yes, my grandfather is kind, but what is the result?
Tell me, what results did they get?
They were dragged through the streets at 5 a.m. every day, with their feet rubbed raw and their heads smashed, as they paraded through several counties, shouting slogans.
Become a rat crossing the street that everyone shouts and beats.
Is this what happens when you are a good person? "
Peng Laosan sighed and said, "It was the policy at the time. Your grandfather's status was there. There was nothing we could do about it, right?"
Lu Zhiye laughed twice, tears welling up in his eyes: "Is it because of the policy? But as far as I know, many people have given up all their wealth in exchange for a peaceful life.
Is this also a policy?
You know better than anyone where our family's wealth and food have gone."
These words are simply humiliating to the elderly people.
I don’t know which words touched Ji Lin who was standing beside me, and he opened his eyes in a daze.
The moment he saw Lu Zhiye, his eyes widened like a calf's.
He rushed to Lu Zhiye and said, "Brother Lu, Brother Lu, the front line can no longer hold on.
What should we do? We are running out of ammunition and food, and we are about to lose."
Ji Lin seemed to have gone mad, sometimes playing himself and sometimes playing the role of Mr. Lu.
“Don’t worry, I’ve already found a way to buy food.
All supplies must be transported to the front line. In addition, people in the village are also working hard to make clothes and prepare herbal medicine.
But we can’t let the soldiers lose the strength to fight…”
Ji Lin was acting crazy and was about to kneel down in front of Lu Zhiye.
