Retreat, Retreat, Retreat! - Chapter 76

When Shen Xuan brought Lin Huan back to the East Factory, Su Zhide, the former **** of the East Factory’s palm seal, was training people in the hall. Unlike Shen Xuan, Su Zhide was born with a benevolent face with a seven-point smile on his face. He was a bit older, with frosty temples and deep wrinkles at the end of his eyes when he laughed.

He even smiled when he was training people: “Don’t always look like’everyone is drunk and I am alone’. You think you are a hero of the world. In the eyes of the emperor, we are a dog with sharp teeth. In troubled times, the wind is surging, we are in the whirlpool, who else can we save besides ourselves?”

The man in front of the steps knelt on the ground, his shoulders trembling.

“Today, you let go of the orphans of the Wang family because of a moment of relentlessness. Ten years later, the descendants of the Wang family will break your neck with deep hatred. Don’t tell the Governor that there is good and evil and evil results, fools believe. There is absolute good and evil in this world.”

After all, Su Zhide rolled the wenwan walnut in his hand, his eyes closed under his sparse white eyebrows, and slowly said, “Come here, drag it down and chop it down, give my brothers a long memory.”

When the fan was dragged down, his pants were wet, and the line on the ground gave off unpleasant wet marks.

Shen Xuan held the saber and led Lin Huan’s skinny nape with one hand, looking at everything in front of her indifferently.

Su Zhide seemed to have just discovered him, leaning on the chair of the master’s office and dragging his tone to say: “Shen Qi, what did you pick up and come back?”

At that time, Shen Xuan had not changed her name back, and she still used the name “Shen Qi”. Hearing Su Zhide’s question, Shen Xuan pushed the thin Lin Huan forward, and said in a deep voice: “On the way back, I saw him and other eunuchs rushing for food. He was fierce and powerful. He is a good swordsman.”

“If you talk about knives, no one in the East Factory will be your opponent in the short term. It would be too much to find another kid who practiced knives.” Having said that, Su Zhide waved to Lin Huan, “Little Boy, come over and take a look at this governor.”

Lin Huan bit her finger and didn’t move, she only raised her eyes to look at Shen Xuan, her face was so thin that only a pair of big eyes remained.

Shen Xuan’s eyebrows and eyelashes were extremely dark, and when she looked down at people, she would cast a circle of shadows under her eyes, which was very cold. He warned Lin Huan: “If you want to live, you have to be obedient.”

Su Zhide looked like a smiling man, but his temper was very weird, and it was unreasonable to kill people. Shen Xuan didn’t want such a small child to die here, even though he brought the child back.

Lin Huan opened his big eyes and walked to stand still in front of Su Zhide.

Su Zhide squinted his eyes and looked at him with a smile, but his eyes were cold, like a poisonous snake spitting out letters. A moment ago, Su Zhide was still looking at Lin Huan with a smile, but the next moment he slapped a palm in front of him.

Although Lin Huan was young, he was naturally responsive, and subconsciously avoided his first move. The palm wind almost brushed the tip of his nose. However, the second palm was not so lucky to escape, and directly shot Lin Huan’s small body more than one foot away, rolling several times and fell to the ground.

Shen Xuan twisted her eyebrows, knuckles rubbing the scabbard.

Fortunately, Lin Huan’s bones were hard, but he sipped a **** saliva gently, then patted the dust contaminated on the eunuch’s clothes, shaking his feet. From beginning to end, he didn’t even groan, and he was as calm as a puppet.

A born killer.

“Yes, yes, quick response and resistance to fights. Given time, it won’t be worse than you.” Su Zhide was very satisfied and said to Shen Xuan, “Bring him back to your basalt service, and in the future, this kid will give it to you. You are educated.”

Shen Xuan nodded, and just about to leave, Su Zhide stopped him again: “I heard that you have returned all the gold and silver the Governor gave you? This is not okay, Shen Qi. If it belongs to you, you have to take it. , Even if someone asks you to be a thousand years old in the future, you still have to suffer. Now in this world, how can there be any upright officials? It would seem strange if you don’t take anything, and it always makes people suspect that you want a higher position.”

There was a warning in his words, and Shen Xuan pondered for a moment, her brows were cold and arrogant that did not match her age. For a long time, he bowed his head slightly and said, “Subordinates are taught.”

Shen Xuan took Lin Huan to wash and apply the medicine. After taking off his clothes, she realized that the child was even more shockingly thin, and she didn’t know how long she hadn’t eaten a full bite.

There were fragments of internal medicine pills in the pill box, which were very bitter, but Lin Huan grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his mouth. Shen Xuan quickly grabbed the medicine bottle when she saw it, and reprimanded: “I also eat medicine indiscriminately. I want to say it!”

Lin Huan just blinked and said quietly, “Brother, I’m hungry.”

That “brother” undoubtedly touched the softest string in Shen Xuan’s heart. He thought of Ah Qi who died in front of him last year…

The hostility in her eyes dissipated a lot, and Shen Xuan lowered her eyes and said rudely: “A good medicine, I will take you to eat it later.” Although her tone was cold, her movements became much gentler.

Lin Huan’s appetite was larger than Shen Xuan had imagined. He could eat the appetite of four people alone, as if he had a bottomless pit in his belly, and he would not recognize him when he was hungry.

Once Wu Youfu made a bowl of Fushou soup. Although the soup looked sweet and delicious, it was extremely poisonous and was used for assassination. Wu Youfu put the soup on the chopping board in the dining room, and turned around to prepare other prescriptions. Who knows that it was such a thing that was not noticed for a while, and that Fushou soup was stolen by Lin Huan.

When Wu Youfu turned around when he realized that something was wrong, Lin Huan had already planted on the ground.

Fortunately, the Fushou Decoction has not been fully developed, otherwise Lin Huan will have to confess his life. Later, Wu Youfu no longer dared to concoct medicine in the dining room, for fear that Lin Huan, who often came to take food, would be poisoned by accident.

When winter comes and spring comes, when Lin Huan is mentioned, Chief Wu is worried. Lin Huan, who is looking at the buns in the left hand and the barbecue in the right hand, sighs: “Hey, Xiao Linzi, what do you say you can do! Greedy is like this. In the future, which girl will dare to eat with you? ?”

“Hahahaha, how can it be called a pair of food, the “food alone” is almost the same!” Fang Wujing smiled and continued the conversation, “I said Lao Wu, don’t you have a niece who used to work in the imperial dining room? The woods are just right.”

“Azhu? As long as she agrees, I naturally have no objection.” Wu Youfu is not against it. He is also an **** anyway. He does not reject Lin Huan, who is also an eunuch, and smiled and asked him: “How about Xiaolinzi?” , Do you want to lead you guys?”

Lin Huan didn’t care about the girl’s appearance or character, and only asked: “Does she cook deliciously?”

Wu Youfu smiled and nodded: “It’s delicious, not worse than me.”

Lin Huan swallowed the last bun and nodded: “Then I have no objection.”

The straightforward and innocent appearance made Wu Youfu and Fang Wujing laugh. Wu Youfu sighed: “After so many years, how can you still be like a small child, dull and stupid, do you know how to take care of a girl?”

“I know.” Lin Huan said earnestly, “I will let her eat and wear warmth, half of what is delicious, will not let her shed tears, and will not let others bully her.”

Later, when Bei Di was making trouble in the city, Lin Huan met A Zhu once when he went to Xibi Palace to report on the military situation. She was a very cute girl with a tempting smell of food. Lin Huan liked it very much.

But, I wonder if Girl Azhu likes an **** like him?

After struggling for several months, Lin Huan came back from a trip and ran into a few acquaintances at the gate of the capital.

Said he is an acquaintance, he is not so familiar. If he says he hasn’t met in six or seven years; if he is a stranger, he is not unfamiliar. After all, he still has the same blood flowing in his bones…

His mother.

The biological mother who used a chicken leg to castrate him to become an **** because of his poverty and hunger.

The woman was already a little old, and she was only in her early forties, and she was bent by the years and suffering. She carried a bag of coarse grains in one hand, and a five or six-year-old girl in the other. She carried a baby under one year old on her back. She looked like an old cow panting, looking gray and glamorous with her surroundings. The bright pedestrians are out of place.

Lin Huan couldn’t help but reined his horse to turn around, jumped off his horse and walked towards the old woman.

He was wearing Dongchang Fanzi’s clothes. Although a bun had a slightly immature face, he still couldn’t stop the majesty and power. Pedestrians couldn’t help but evade and gave him a way.

When the clean boots stayed in front of her, the old woman was still a little uncomfortable. She was stunned, and then she hugged the frightened granddaughter in her arms and raised a face of vicissitudes of old age.

Then the pupil shrank, suddenly startled.

As if seeing something unbelievable, her skinny and cracked hands trembled violently, staring at Lin Huan unblinkingly, bloodshot in her muddy eyes. With her dead skinned lips trembling, she tentatively said for a long time: “Huan, Huan’er…Is that you?”

“It’s me, I’m Lin Huan.” Lin Huan felt that her old wounds were a little bit painful again, and the phrase’Aniang’ was rolled on her lips, and he was swallowed by him again. He just said, “I will go back to explore I kissed once, but you are all gone. I don’t know where you and your eldest brother moved. I haven’t found it after looking for it for a long time.”

He came back…

The mother-in-law sold him as an **** for a few bites of grain, but he still came back to visit him!

The woman shed a drop of muddy tears, wiped it away with the back of her hand, and murmured: “The village was flooded and the house was washed down. We moved to Qinghua County, a hundred miles away.”

Lin Huan said ‘oh’ and said nothing.

For some reason, the old woman always felt that Lin Huan had guessed something. When they moved away with their family, it was not only because of the floods, but also because she was afraid of seeing Lin Huan again, afraid that Lin Huan would one day drag her crippled body back to find her, asking why she abandoned him and why she lied to him. …So, she took her strong eldest son and the twenty-two-dollar silver and fled away in panic.

“Huan’er, don’t blame A-niang, A-niang did it as a last resort.” The old woman became more guilty, lowered her head and dared not look at him, “Your father died back then, and you ate too much, A-niang. It’s hard to feed…”

“Is this girl the eldest brother’s child?” Lin Huan suddenly interrupted her, knelt down and looked at the timid and dirty girl, vaguely discerning the outline of the elder brother’s eyebrows.

The old woman wiped her tears, nodded and said, “It’s your eldest brother’s eldest daughter. You gave birth to her in the second year of the palace…”

Her words flickered, and did not say that the money for the eldest brother’s marriage was his selling money back then.

Lin Huan liked children very much. When he was in Dongchang, he would often play with Admiral Shen and Princess Changning’s daughter. He almost subconsciously reached out to touch the child’s cheek…

The clinker, the old woman seemed to be facing an enemy, grabbing the girl’s thin wrist and hiding her behind her, as if Lin Huan was a cannibal scourge.

Lin Huan touched her hand and froze in the air. It took a long time before she quietly raised her eyes to look at her mother.

There is embarrassment and taboo in the eyes of the old woman. In the eyes of many people, the **** is always a dirty monster, even if the **** is the son she sent to the tiger’s den, she still taboo.

The sound of footsteps rang behind him, and the subordinate Fanzi hugged his fists and saluted him, respectfully saying: “Chairman Lin, the factory superintendent wants you to come back quickly.”

“Serve… the chief officer?” Even if it is a country village woman, the old woman should know that this is not a petty official. For a while, she was both surprised and nervous, and even more embarrassed.

“I see, I’ll be back right away.”

Lin Huan dismissed her subordinates, and saw the old woman suddenly grabbing her granddaughter to kneel down, shaking her shoulders and saying: “Big, my lord! The untouchables have eyes and no bead and belittle the adults, please don’t blame the adults! The untouchables will kowtow to you!” It was so big that it even awakened the sleeping young grandchildren in the back basket.

“Don’t!” Lin Huan supported her.

After thinking about it, he took the money bag from his waist and handed it to his niece. The little girl was very timid and didn’t dare to accept it, so he forced it into her arms. Then, he took off the jade ornament on the sabre, even the gold pattern on the handle of the knife, and put his head in the arms of his little niece, and then he touched the top of her dry and yellow hair, calm and innocent. Said: “Don’t be afraid of me, the eldest princess and the child of the factory supervisor, I also often hold and play.”

When he heard that he could play with the eldest princess’s child, the old woman’s waist was bent a little bit, and her forehead was buried deep in the dust, humble and pathetic.

They were speechless, and the two people who were close relatives eventually became strangers with nothing to say.

Lin Huan scratched the back of his head, not knowing what to say, got up on his horse, and left with his whip.

Dongchang is his home, his eternal destination.

In the hall, A Zhu came out of the dining room with a plate of hot pear shortbread. Seeing Lin Huan come in with his head down and unhappy, he smiled and said, “What’s the matter with Chief Lin, who is so unhappy?”

“Azhu.” Lin Huan raised his eyes to look at her. When he smelled the scent of shortbread, his eyes lit up, and the depression in his heart disappeared a lot.

As soon as he saw him swallowing his saliva constantly, Azhu knew that he was gluttonous again, so he reached out and gave him two warm shortbread, handing it over, “Hey, give you two, no more. Sure, this was originally done for His Royal Highness.”

As she said, she rolled her eyes sharply, smiled and leaned over and whispered: “But if you like it, I will cook it for you in private in the future.”

Lin Huan took a bite of the shortbread and was so hot.

“Fool, eat slowly.”

Lin Huan squinted satisfactorily, and said sincerely: “A Zhu, you are so kind!”

“I know I’m fine now!” Azhu poked his forehead with a smile, and hummed, “My baby Lin is really a fool.”
