Chapter 459 Old Friend
"The boss hasn't slept yet?"
Fengsheng said with some surprise, and then there was a gurgling sound in his stomach.
Perhaps due to infection, Lin Xiaofan's stomach also growled. The two looked at each other and smiled.
After eating some food in the morning, the two of them rushed to the battlefield and haven't eaten anything until now.
Maybe it was because I was very stressed before and never felt hungry.
"Why don't we go in and have something to eat?"
Lin Xiaofan asked.
Fengsheng nodded slightly and immediately knocked on the door of the restaurant.
"The hotel is closed. Come back next time."
A woman's voice sounded. She also had some doubts in her heart. Everyone was asleep this late at night, who would come to eat?
However, through the crack in the door, she seemed to see a somewhat familiar face and hurried over.
"Hey, wait!"
She quickly opened the door and looked at Fengsheng with a bit of disbelief on her face.
"Are you... Fengsheng?"
Three years ago, my mother committed suicide to protect her innocence. The man in front of her, who often came to the restaurant to eat, avenged her and saved her.
She will always remember the face in front of her.
However, in my impression, Fengsheng was a man. The person in front of me... was obviously a woman.
"It's me, Qingyu, long time no see."
Fengsheng frowned slightly.
Reuniting old friends should be a happy thing, but she was careful and found that although Qingyu had a smile on his face, his eyes were red and swollen, and he had obviously cried.
Moreover, the worry in front of his eyebrows cannot be concealed no matter what.
"Fengsheng, you left in a hurry back then, and I didn't have time to thank you. Over the years, my father and I have been looking for your whereabouts, but we couldn't find you. I thought you had also suffered revenge from the Zhang family. "
"Fortunately, you're fine. Come on in and sit down. Are you hungry? I'll make some food for you."
Qingyu was a little excited to see his savior again.
"Wait a minute, Qingyu, where is my father?"
Fengsheng asked.
In the past, the owner of this store did the cooking, while Qingyu did the chores. But when she came today, she didn't see the store owner, only Qing Yu.
Looking at Qingyu's condition, she felt something was wrong.
"My father is dead."
Speaking of this, a tear streaked down Qingyue's cheek, but she quickly wiped it away.
"what happened?"
Fengsheng slapped the table and stood up. He immediately thought of the Zhang family.
The Zhang family is inherently despicable. Although she was the one who did this, there is no guarantee that the owner of this store will take revenge.
It's a pity that now that the Zhang family is dead, there is no way to drag him out for revenge.
"It was not done by anyone from the Zhang family. My father died on the battlefield. My two brothers also died on the battlefield."
Hearing this, Fengsheng was stunned.
Three members of the family were all killed in the battle.
She came from a royal family and had never experienced the sufferings of ordinary people. She only felt that the people who died on the battlefield were just a set of numbers.
But now, she truly experienced the cruelty of the battlefield.
Lin Xiaofan on the side sighed. In this age of war and chaos, this kind of thing is all too common.
Nearly 100,000 people died in the battle today, and how many people were crying behind the battlefield.
"But they were all willing. After what happened three years ago, my father was afraid of retaliation, so he sold the store to others at a low price."
"My two brothers are both the capital's iron guards. They are under the full control of General Guan Rong, so we don't have to worry about safety issues. My father spent a lot of money to buy a house in the center of the city and hired two guards."
"Later, the Zhang family still came looking for trouble. But with the help of the little witch, the danger was saved every time. After three consecutive visits, the Zhang family never came again."
Hearing this, Lin Xiaofan nodded slightly. At that time, the Zhang family must have started plotting rebellion and did not want to cause trouble.
"Later, the family's money was almost exhausted, the Zhang family happened to rebel again, and our situation was much safer, so my father borrowed some money and bought the store back, intending to make money from it."
"The store opened, and many old customers came to take care of the business. The business was booming and I made a lot of money. Just when my family was about to get better, a group of men in black suddenly appeared in the city this morning."
"At that time, my second brother was patrolling in the city and was attacked by men in black. My father happened to see it and used his body to block the bow and arrow for his second brother, and he died as a result."
"Tonight the comrades of the eldest brother and the second brother came and said that they also died in the battle tonight."
Speaking of this, she could no longer control her emotions, tears fell uncontrollably, and she lay twitching on the table.
Her parents are dead, as are her eldest and second brothers. Seeing that her life is about to get better and better, she has no relatives in this world.
She did nothing wrong, and neither did her parents or brothers, but they were all killed in the battle.
Seeing the country getting rid of traitorous ministers and driving away foreign enemies, he was about to live a good life, but no one close to him was gone.
Tonight, she even had the idea of committing suicide countless times. If her father hadn't told her before leaving to live well and find a good family to marry, she would have gone to Jiuquanxia to find her own family.
Fengsheng didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only sit next to her, pat her back, and said:
"Qingyu, everything is over. From now on, I recognize you as my sister."
At this moment, the sound of gongs and drums sounded from outside and became louder and louder.
Looking outside through the crack in the door, some people gathered together and celebrated on the street.
The sound of gongs and drums became louder and louder, and the firelight got closer and closer, illuminating half of the street.
The cheers were particularly harsh, and at this moment, Lin Xiaofan didn't know whether he was happy or sad.
The battlefield is always brutal. In this battle, more than half of Daqian's army suffered casualties. Of the 30,000 troops from Cangyuan County, only less than 5,000 remained.
"You are hungry, I will make some food for you."
Yuqing stood up and walked to the kitchen. Fengsheng did not stop him, but hurriedly followed him.
She still remembered that Yu Qing's favorite thing was cooking, which might make her feel better.
Lin Xiaofan looked at the two people leaving, quickly got up and went out, running towards the Zhao family.
It takes two kilometers to walk back and forth between the two places. Although it is not that far, Lin Xiaofan ran all the way and was out of breath when he came back.
He quickly walked into the kitchen, and the two of them had just made two dishes.
"Brother Lin, where have you been?"
Fengsheng saw that there was sweat on Lin Xiaofan's head and his breathing was not natural, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Miss Yuqing, try this salt."
Lin Xiaofan took out a small wooden box from his arms and handed it to Yu Qing.
The other party opened it with some confusion. Through the candlelight, tiny white particles could be faintly seen.
She grabbed a little with her hand, looked at it carefully, and said:
"Is this...salt? But why does salt look like this?"
From her experience, salt is just big yellowing particles, how could it be so delicate.
"You can try some homemade ones."
Lin Xiaofan smiled and said.
