Lin Hu had a stubborn temper and was a bit upright. He often had conflicts with people in the same team - mainly some veterans who had agreed to bully the new recruits. Lin Hu was not a character willing to suffer, so he started arguing with them.

But even though Lin Hu said his son was several years old, he was still a young man. How could he be as skilled as those veterans who had been on the battlefield? Veterans also like to huddle together for warmth, so they are almost always pressed down and beaten by these people.

Li Yong himself had not experienced this before. Although the veterans said they bullied the recruits, they still had a sense of restraint. They would only give him one or two beatings at most, and they would not be harsh. They would only be flesh wounds at most, so he just turned a blind eye when he knew about it. Close one eye.

As a result, Lin Hu resisted every time he was beaten, and became more and more courageous every time he was beaten. Every time the veterans dealt with him, they became more and more unable to deal with him. Once they even looked for an opportunity for him, but he dealt with them instead.

After Li Yong knew what had happened, he became interested. As the centurion behind the scenes in the team, he met Lin Hu informally for the first time - as soon as he opened the curtain, he happened to see him arguing with the veteran.

Lin Hu was pressed down hard by two people, but he raised his head unyieldingly. The first thing Li Yong saw was the other party's bright and unyielding eyes, which seemed to illuminate the somewhat dim tent. became brighter.

Maybe Li Yong himself is also the kind of person who is dissatisfied and rebellious. When he was young, he fought back in various ways when he entered the military camp, and was often targeted. Looking at Lin Hu, it was as if he saw himself when he was still young, and he felt a sense of love and care for him for a while. .

After getting along for a long time, he knew that Lin Hu had a wife and children at home, and that Li Yong cared more about him. Lin Hu also became affectionate with him, calling him a big brother. Li Yong had leg pain, and he also took good care of him. In exchange for help, the two of them developed a somewhat close brotherhood.

I don’t know how many times I have been on the battlefield, but the familiar sound of horns, the neighing of horses, the striking of golden blades, the rapid sound of footsteps, and the increasingly dense drum beats are all heard in my ears. Get up quickly together.

Surrounded by tall horses, swords and spears are at war with each other. They fought against the enemy on a relatively flat and vast plain. Countless torches connected into an endless wave of fire, burning towards them like a prairie fire.

The smoke rose, making the bright moon dim and the stars covered in dust. The rain of arrows carrying sparks dispersed densely from the sky. Wherever the tongues of fire rolled, the earth trembled and dust flew up.

The earth-shattering shouts of killing seemed to be rolling in with echoing waves of anger, which was horrifying. The firelight became brighter and brighter, and interacted with the cold light of the cold weapons to form strips of mottled and twisted light and shadow, reflecting young faces.

Although Lin Hu had been on the battlefield several times, his adaptability was not very good. He was hit by two arrows. Although he was not in a very important position, it also allowed the enemy to find an opening. If Li Yong had not arrived in time, he would have been killed. Land.

The injuries on his body affected his actions for the time being. Only black and gray traces were left on the withered grassland. Seriously injured soldiers were either left on the battlefield, or some of their comrades had a soft heart and took them back to the military camp.

Lin Hu bared his teeth and lay on Li Yong's back. His consciousness was blurred by the pungent smell and the fire in his eyes, but the corners of his eyes were moist.

He thought that if he still had the chance to return to his hometown and reunite with his wife and children, he would let his children call Brother Li their godfather. It would be even better if he could take Brother Li out of the military camp and provide for him in his old age. . . . . .

The Huai Kingdom has been in constant war for several years, and the soldiers who were recruited are not just allowed to serve in the military for two or three years and then released. It is also true that some people join the army when they are young and have not returned home when they are thirty or forty years old.

As time passed, Lin Hu counted on his fingers - how old was his eldest son? Before leaving, my wife was still pregnant. How old is the child now? Is it a boy or a girl? I don’t know how my wife is doing now, whether she has remarried with her children. . . . . .

As the saying goes, the war rages for three months, and a letter from home is worth ten thousand dollars. Lin Hu asked someone to write a letter to his family, and sent out a few letters, but whether they were sent or not is still unknown - I don’t know if the letters were sent, I don’t know. Has there been a letter from his wife, but it has not reached his hands?

Thinking too much, sometimes Lin Hu would wrap himself in a quilt at night and just couldn't fall asleep with his eyes open. He believed in Li Yong in his heart, so he only told him his worries.

"It will be fine, I will find a way for you." Li Yong listened in silence, comforting softly, and it felt like he was talking to himself.

Lin Hu nodded, but actually didn't take it to heart - until he accidentally broke his leg after going to the battlefield, and Li Yong held him up and prepared to take him back to the camp.

"Do you want to go home?"

Lin Hu's painful forehead was covered with sweat. Hearing Li Yong's question, he was a little confused, but he still nodded.

"I have a way to ask you to go back, but the price may be that you lose a leg. Are you willing?"

Lin Hu was stunned for a moment, vaguely seeming to understand what Li Yong meant. His mind was a little blank. He looked at the calluses on his hands that had been honed over the years. There were some traces of time on the back of his hands.

He has not been home for more than ten years. He has almost forgotten what the food cooked by his wife tastes like. How old are his children now? There is an old mother in the family, and I don’t know if she is still healthy now. . . . . .

Unknowingly, tears covered his face, and his voice was small and vague, with a faint whimper coming from his throat.

"I want to go home-"

After that battle, the soldiers who were seriously injured or unable to move normally were released from the military camp and allowed to be sent back to their hometowns. Lin Huzhu, wearing a cane, met Li Yong for the last time across the fence of the military camp.

"Brother Li, what should you do?"

"You know, I had my chance to leave here, but I came back."

Lin Hu naturally knew something about Li Yong, so he didn't mention it again.

"If there is a chance, I will bring the children to my eldest brother and ask them to find a godfather!"

Li Yong was stunned, feeling a little sour in his heart, and shook his head.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Now that you have the chance to go back, live a good life. I hope you will remember what a good place this is."

Lin Hu is already in his 30s and is not as impulsive and emotional as he was when he was young, but his eyes still turned red after hearing these words.

"I miss you, Brother Li, and I want to support you in your old age."

"It's so disgusting. Go home. If you hang around here for a while, you will be kicked out." Li Yong turned around directly, endured the soreness in his nose, and left in a hurry.

The army's garrison was not fixed, and no one could tell the transfers between soldiers. After that goodbye, Lin Hu and Li Yong never saw each other again. Because of the endless war, they only exchanged a few letters.

Lin Hu's hardships finally came to an end. He returned to his hometown, a small place with almost no changes. Although his wife and children live a simpler life, they are able to support the family at least - this village is full of people from their clan, and there is no scene of his wife and children being bullied.

The eldest son was only six years old before he set out. Now ten years later, he has grown taller. What makes him happy is that his son is still willing to be intimate with him. His wife is pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl. The baby has often helped his mother with work at home, and he was very happy to see him back. The only regrettable thing was that his old mother passed away. Lin Hu knelt in front of his mother's grave and could not express himself in words.

Lin Hu met with his family. I don’t know how much suffering he told. He also knew that his wife had wanted to send him a letter, but she didn’t know which army he was in. From this point of view, the few letters he sent home were probably lost in the ocean. .

Hearing that he was back, many relatives who had sent the dolls to the battlefield also came to inquire - unfortunately, they were either not in the same place, Lin Hu didn't know, or they had turned into a handful of loess and had been scattered on the battlefield, or they were still there. In the army, I don’t know when I will be able to return home.

Although Lin Hu is lame, he can still do simple things. He learned carpentry with his comrades in the military camp in his spare time. It is enough to survive in such a small place, and it also reduces the pressure on his family.

Life in the army was not satisfactory, but the relationships with people inside were extremely precious. Lin Hu would tell his children at home about things in the army when he had time. His wife looked distressed when he heard this, and his eldest son looked nervous and worried. , seems to have a bit of yearning in his eyes, while the younger children seem to be obedient, with a bit of obsession in their eyes.

Compared with the army, today's life is really very happy. Lin Hu often thinks about Li Yong in the army. He doesn't forget to ask someone to find out if it is inconvenient. Unfortunately, the army often moves and his family is busy, so he can't find the opportunity. .

Lin He took on the family affairs early, and Lin Hu's life and death were not known at that time. Lin's mother felt that such important matters should be discussed with the parents, just in case it was two years late, so it didn't matter, so the age of engagement was a little later.

Lin He didn't get married until he was 18 years old. Unfortunately, the couple didn't get along for long when the army came to recruit soldiers again.

Her son took the initiative to sign up for the sake of the family. Mother Lin did not stop her, but she was crying blindly behind her back - she had been terrified for ten years that her husband was conscripted into the army, and she had worked hard to support her eldest son, and now it was his eldest son's turn. Well, his son just got married, but now he and his wife are separated. When will this kind of life last like years pass?

Lin Hu was also hit hard. There were many things his son told him to pay attention to before he left home. While he was sad, he actually looked forward to his son having the opportunity to meet Li Yong, but only Lin He knew about the other party's instructions.
