Mu Yunhan frowned and looked at the old man in front of him.
Wu Yanzhuang said in the letter that the old man's name was Lao Zhou, and he was an old soldier. He had been in the army for many years, but all his family members had died and he was homeless, so he had stayed in the army.
Now that she is old, injured all over her body, unable to do military work, and has nowhere to live, she begs Mu Yunhan to take Lao Zhou in and help her discipline those children.
Lao Zhou smiled flatteringly and humbly at Mu Yunhan, rubbed his hands and said carefully: "Girl, the old man won't eat for free, and he doesn't want wages. He just wants to have a place to live and a bowl of food to eat."
Seeing that Mu Yunhan was about to speak, he rushed to roll up his cuffs and trouser legs, exposing the scars on his arms and legs to her: "The old man is really not a bad person. You see, these are all from the war with Qi State.
.”
Scars are criss-crossed, all from old injuries.
Mu An and Mu Li gathered around, exclaiming with sympathy and admiration, and looked at Mu Yunhan eagerly, hoping that she would keep this poor old man.
Seeing that Mu Yunhan was still silent, Lao Zhou sighed heavily and forced a smile on his face: "Excuse me."
Then he turned around and limped out, dragging his injured leg. His rickety old back looked particularly pitiful and helpless.
Mu Yunhan noticed that half of his trousers were wet and there were still grass blades on them, so he said, "Wait a minute, when did you come?"
Lao Zhou stopped and said in confusion: "Master Wu said this last night, so I came here."
"Why don't you wait until dawn before setting off?"
Lao Zhou rubbed his hands uneasily and whispered: "I'm afraid that if I come late, someone else will take away the opportunity... I heard that you only need one person..."
Mu Yunhan lowered his eyes: "It's not easy to walk on the mountain road all night, so let's go eat something first."
"No, I won't delay you..." Lao Zhou turned his back and staggered out.
Mu Yunhan asked Xiaomi in a low voice: "Do you think he has any kung fu?"
Xiaomi shook his head: "No, he probably only knows ordinary boxing and kicking skills, and he has many physical injuries."
Mu Yunhan was originally worried that Wu Yanzhuang had ulterior motives, so he did not want to accept this arrangement.
Since Lao Zhou was just an ordinary soldier and was too old and frail to pose a threat to her, she wanted to give it a try. So she said, "What do you know?"
Lao Zhou was already in despair. When he heard this greeting, he quickly spoke out his strengths: "...I have been a commander for many years, and I am in charge of the recruits every year...whatever their virtues are.
I knew it right away..."
In other words, since he was injured and unable to fight anymore, he has been responsible for the discipline and training of new recruits. He has accumulated a lot of experience over the years, and is especially good at small-scale, one-on-one discipline.
This is the person he is looking for. Mu Yunhan said: "Then you can stay and be on probation for a period of time. During the probation period, you will only receive food, accommodation and no wages."
Lao Zhou was overjoyed. After saluting and thanking him, he followed Mu An to Mu Qiusheng's house to settle him - after all, he was an adult man and it was not convenient for him to be housed in the Mu family's small yard.
The news that Mu Yunhan had taken in a disabled old man quickly spread throughout the town. Many people came to inquire about the reason, but they were all kicked away unceremoniously by the new students.
Mu Yunhan took Mu An out for a visit. The day when she and Gao Wenshan were going to have a drink and get married was coming soon. She had to invite all the decent people in the town to bear witness.
As soon as she stepped out of the street, she saw Gu Fenglin dressed elegantly in white, walking towards her in the morning sunshine, with a straight face and an expressionless face. (To be continued)
