Chapter 400 Godson
By the time Yun Chen came out of the cellar with swollen eyes and left Piaomiao Island, it was almost dark.
The emotional ups and downs were far more tiring than fighting. She dragged her exhausted body back to the camp, ignored Luo Dongdong and Fu Lin who were eating melon seeds and chatting at the door of the tent, and fell headfirst onto the couch and fell into a deep sleep.
Seeing her rare tired look, Luo Dongdong asked:
"What's going on? Which episode is this?"
Fu Lin spit out the melon seed shells in his mouth and said, "It should be time for 'reconciliation' soon." After saying that, he put the remaining melon seeds into his pocket, pulled Luo Dongdong's empty sleeve, and said:
"Let's go! Give General Yun some serious action!"
Luo Dongdong refused repeatedly: "I dare not! The boss prohibits alcohol, and she will obey it more than anyone else. She never asks for special treatment. No one dares to go to her with alcohol!"
"What are you afraid of? We're not on a battlefield right now, and the 'Cloud Tiger' hasn't been released yet! Don't worry!"
"It won't take long for the Tiger to show up. I'm not going!"
"Don't be scared! She's got a lot on her mind right now, and she desperately needs to talk it out. As long as she gets it out, it'll only take two days for Lion and Tiger to reconcile!"
After hearing what Fu Lin said, Luo Dongdong finally compromised.
The two of them ran to the kitchen and tinkered with it. Luo Dongdong fried a few side dishes, while Fu Lin was busy mixing malt liquor into barley tea, making six large barrels of tea liquor.
Then the two of them came to the main tent with the things and dragged Yun Chen up.
Yun Chen's eyes were swollen and sore, and he could not see anything clearly.
She sat down at the low table listlessly, holding her chin with her hand and sighing, saying dissatisfiedly:
"Am I being too nice to you? You didn't even tell me before entering my tent? What are you doing? Drinking tea and eating food?"
As she spoke, she glanced at the dishes on the table and asked, "Who cooked this? Why is half of it mushy?"
Luo Dongdong shook his empty sleeves and grinned:
"I only have one arm left, and I can't flip the pan, so it got burnt."
Yun Chen was speechless and glanced at Fu Lin, "You really don't treat Luo Dongdong as a disabled person!"
"That's not the case!" Luo Dongdong continued, "They don't even treat me as a human being, okay?!"
This opened up the conversation, and Luo Dongdong began to pour out his daily grievances.
What about Fu Lin using a plow as a prosthetic arm for him? Rong Yi would "accidentally" step on his sleeve every time they trained, and then pretend to ask him, "Ouch, I stepped on your hand, does it hurt?"
While Luo Dongdong was pestering Yun Chen to talk, Fu Lin quickly stuffed the barley tea mixed with alcohol into Yun Chen's hands.
"Drink some tea to moisten your throat, or you'll be tired of listening!"
Yun Chen was stunned for a moment, and didn't realize what was wrong. He instinctively picked up the teacup and drank it all, grinning and saying:
"This tea is spicy! What's going on?"
"Really?" Fu Lin and Luo Dongdong pretended to take the teacup and sniffed it, then said with certainty:
"I think the tea leaves are a little fermented! But it's okay! You can drink it!"
After saying that, the two of them coaxed Yun Chen to drink again.
Half an hour later, all six wine jugs were empty, a speed far beyond Fu Lin's expectations.
According to Fu Lin's original plan, he and Luo Dongdong would get Yun Chen drunk, and when she was very drunk, they would guide her to cry and shout out her true feelings.
As for people, no matter what is on their mind, as long as they speak it out, they will feel half better.
But unfortunately, it was Fu Lin's first time drinking with Yun Chen, and he completely misjudged Yun Chen's alcohol tolerance.
I didn't expect she could drink so much!
There were six wine jugs, he and Luo Dongdong each had one, and Yun Chen drank four.
Yun Chen was fine, still sitting at the table. He and Luo Dongdong, on the other hand, drank so much that their faces were redder than their butts, their heads were spinning, and they couldn't even stand up.
Luo Dongdong picked up the remaining chicken bones with his chopsticks and cursed in a drunken voice:
"Damn it, there's nothing to eat!"
Fu Lin half-lay on the table, propping up his head and said disdainfully:
"You fried that! What a lousy skill! I can fry better with my feet!"
Luo Dongdong suddenly got angry and swung his empty sleeve hard, almost hitting Fu Lin's face, and cursed:
"I only have one arm left to cook, okay?! One! You bastards! You don't usually take care of me! You take turns to visit my severed arm! You say it's cute because it's round! When it's cold, my wound cramps up, and they laugh wildly! What else can they say? I only have one arm, and when I buy clothes in the future, I can use one sleeve and the other as a scarf! You also said that when I get married and have my wedding night, I'll have one hand for holding a gun, and I'll have no hand for..."
"Alright, alright, stop it, stop it!" Fu Lin quickly blocked Luo Dongdong's mouth with a piece of fried chicken breast. "General Yun is still here! Stop talking nonsense!"
Luo Dongdong was gnawing on the burnt chicken breast, sobbing and obviously cursing.
But Yun Chen could see that Luo Dongdong was not the Zhenqi Fu Lin and Rong Yi.
On the contrary, no one treated Luo Dongdong differently, which made him feel more comfortable, so he could speak so unscrupulously.
After Luo Dongdong finished venting, Fu Lin vaguely remembered the purpose of coming to Yun Chen to drink. Just as he was thinking about how to bring up the topic, Yun Chen spoke before him:
"Fulin, I think you're very tired. You have a lot on your mind and are burdened with a lot of things. You don't even have anyone to talk to."
Fu Lin stared at Yun Chen blankly for a while, his expression changed from surprise to grievance, and then he burst into tears, "Wow--".
As the leader of the rebel army elected by the people, Fu Lin fought desperately with the rebels, broke the deadlock of the Lion Army trapped in Guying City, and opened a passage to the north for them.
Although Yun Chen and Fu Lin are not as familiar with each other as others, the past when they fought side by side is still vivid in their minds. Fu Lin can never forget the friendship of sacrificing his life for the Lion Army.
Since Fu Lin joined the Lion Army, he has been friendly, smart, and skilled in martial arts. He quickly became friends with Rong Yi and Luo Dongdong. Everyone in the army likes him very much, including Yun Chen.
But for some reason, she could always sense an indescribable loneliness from Fu Lin.
Just like a lone wolf hiding in the flock, dressed in sheep's clothing, although he has no ill intentions, his kind appearance can never conceal the depression and sadness in his bones.
Yun Chen is not someone who grew up in a group of bureaucratic elites. She has more of the heroic and free-spirited spirit of a child of the underworld.
She had never deliberately observed or analyzed Fu Lin, but just said these words based on her intuition. Who would have thought that it hit Fu Lin's heart so hard that he burst into tears, and even Luo Dongdong who was standing beside him was stunned.
Luo Dongdong's mind was not clear, but he still felt sorry for his brother. He spit out half of the chicken breast in his mouth, put it to Fu Lin's mouth, and coaxed:
"Don't cry. If you want to make me a prosthetic arm with a plowshare, go ahead. Or a fire stick. Here, I'll give you a piece of hot chicken. It'll warm you up."
Fu Lin was crying with tears and snot, and took the chicken handed to him by Luo Dongdong with emotion. When he found out that it was the chicken Luo Dongdong had just vomited out, he cried even louder.
“I am suffering… suffering…”
Fu Lin didn't start talking, but just repeated these two sentences.
Yun Chen had probably heard that Fu Lin's hometown was Youyang, and that a flood in the early years had submerged the entire village, and all his relatives were killed.
She patted Fu Lin's shoulder distressedly and said, "Don't be sad. Even though your family is gone, you still have brothers and friends. Just treat us as your family."
Luo Dongdong also sighed and put his arm around Fu Lin's shoulders, saying in a drunken voice:
"Yes, from now on, treat us as your family. The eldest will be your mother, and I will be your father... I won't let you be a child without parents! I won't let others look down on us!"
Luo Dongdong became more and more excited as he spoke. His mood suddenly became high. He stood up and staggered out, saying that he was going to get Fu Lin's list and adopt Fu Lin as his godson, with it written in black and white as proof.
Looking at this country fool who was two years younger than him, Fu Lin was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He could only let him go, then he looked up to the sky and sighed deeply, saying sadly:
"'When family is gone, brothers are here for you'... General Yun, you said it so well... Whoever gets to be your brother is truly blessed..."
