Yan Fei was slightly taken aback, but soon relieved: "I said, you are an old cook, how dare you casually partner with me, a man from the world with unknown background. It turns out that you knew my background early in the morning. But how did you get along with me? Did my grandpa know him? My grandpa should have been active outside for only a few years."

"Fei, don't underestimate your grandpa! Although it was only a few years, your grandpa saved countless Chinese people in those few years!" Uncle Liu smiled happily, "When the mountains and rivers were broken, I sneaked away when I was a teenager. When I went out of the house, I thought that I was a man. I couldn’t watch my country being ruined by others and did nothing. I thought about serving the country. But I was young and inexperienced. I was protected by my family in my early years, and I didn’t eat What kind of trouble did I have to go out, not to mention being cheated out of all my belongings, and even being arrested by the national army to serve as a soldier! Although this is considered to be in the army, this is not the army I want to be in..."

"and then?"

Yan Fei was a little curious.

"Then my unit was disabled in the battle, and I was lost in the defeat. I wanted to run home, but I ran into another unit halfway."

Uncle Liu sighed first, then laughed again.

"Just out of the wolf's den, and into the tiger's den?"

Yan Fei asked, but he knew it was definitely not, otherwise Uncle Liu wouldn't laugh out loud.

Uncle Liu shook his head, and shook his head very vigorously: "It's different, it's completely different! The army I met was completely different from the national army! They really wanted to help and protect our people. Soldiers, they met me and gave me a bite to eat when I was about to starve to death. They knew that I wanted to go back to my hometown, and they even took me for a while. The more I thought about it on the way, the more I felt that this is the army I want to be in, so I asked the regiment The leader accepted me, but guess what the leader said? He said, you kid like bean sprouts, can you carry a gun? Don't make trouble for adults, go home and eat milk!"

Yan Fei smiled. From Uncle Liu's words, he could hear dissatisfaction and deep nostalgia.

"Fei, don't look at me being friendly now. I was very stubborn when I was young. Otherwise, I wouldn't have run away from home. The national army arrested me as a soldier. I thought about running away. The army didn't want me, but I still wanted to escape." You have to go in!" Uncle Liu showed a smug smile, "So I told the team leader, I am as thin as a bean sprouts, but I can cook bean sprouts! Then I use bean sprouts that can be found everywhere Cooked a dish for the head of the group. I just remembered that I am a cook. When the cook talks, he should use the dishes. What are you talking about so much!"

"Then the regiment leader accepted you?"

Yan Fei had already guessed the result, but in order for Liu Bo to continue speaking, he still asked.

"Well, although the head of the regiment often scolded me, saying that after leaving me, the rice consumed by the army doubled every day, saying that I raised a group of idiots, but he was still not willing to drive me away. Those regiments that cooperate with the regiment, they come to the regiment leader to lead the soldiers, and come to our regiment from time to time to eat, the regiment leader scolded even more fiercely!"

Uncle Liu smiled even more proudly. Isn't this kind of scolding more like a compliment to him?

"Then, how did you meet my grandfather?"

Yan Fei asked after knowing how Uncle Liu had struggled to enlist in the army. He knew that Uncle Liu said so much, but he was actually paving the way for his next encounter with Yan Fei's grandfather Yan Jing.

Uncle Liu's smile subsided, and he said: "Once, there was a traitor in our regiment. On the night of the captain's wedding, the daughter-in-law who had just passed by the regiment leader was taken away. The regiment leader led his brothers to chase after him. When they went to the city tower in Ping'an County, Yamamoto, who captured his sister-in-law, used her sister-in-law to force the commander to cease fire. When the tower was blasted, it was your grandfather who fell like a magic soldier from the sky. At the moment when none of us could react, he flew up to the tower, beheaded Yamamoto and the translator with one sword, and after saving his sister-in-law, several swords knocked down the tower. The bones and the puppet army were completely killed. Seeing the reversal of the situation, the head of the regiment immediately launched an attack, and led his brothers to beat down Ping'an County without a single person. I'm not afraid of your jokes if I say it, and I will follow up to fight at that time It was a smooth battle and grabbed the heads of a few devils. Afterwards, the team leader thanked your grandpa and wanted to invite your grandpa to the celebration banquet, but your grandpa declined. There are other places where there are wars, and he has the next one There is a battle to be fought."

"I didn't know your grandfather's name until a long time later. I also know that he saved countless compatriots and wiped out countless enemies during the Anti-Japanese War, but died shortly after the end of the Anti-Japanese War. The first time I saw your grandpa It can be seen that he is very tired, I want to make him a bowl of chicken soup to nourish his body, but I have never been able to get the chance..."

Uncle Liu finally said in a tone full of regret.

"So the first night you met me, you were roasting rabbits, but you went to catch pheasants to make chicken soup for me?"

Yan Fei had a weird and authentic expression.

"Hahaha! You still remember... the first time we met!"

Uncle Liu laughed loudly.

"I always remember, after all, some things are hard to forget..." Yan Fei showed a reminiscing look.

Chapter 410 It Looks Like It's Really Not Sellable

Two old friends who haven't seen each other for more than 30 years fell into silence, not because they had nothing to say, but because they had too much to say, but they didn't know where to start.

After being silent for an unknown amount of time, it was Uncle Liu who spoke first: "How is Xiao Hui?"

Yan Fei nodded: "She's a good boy, but I'm afraid she won't be used to living in Japan with such a good boy."

"What you said... She is originally from Dongying, how can she still be uncomfortable in Dongying..."

Uncle Liu smiled, and then quickly remembered that when he first met Tian Suohui, Tian Suohui had just been expelled from Yuanyue Academy and was squatting next to the bus stop crying, so the smile turned into a wry smile.

"Indeed, in the country of Dongying, it will be very hard for people with too weak personality to live in."

Uncle Liu nodded and said, he has lived in Dongying for more than 30 years. Although he lives in seclusion, it doesn't mean he doesn't care about the outside world at all. He has seen too many distorted realities in Dongying.

It can be said that Dongying society has great malice towards people with weak personalities. Without him, or without the help of others, after Tian Suohui was expelled from Yuanyue Academy, the label of "loser" would be stuck on her for the rest of her life. Her life is likely to completely lose light and spend the rest of her life in darkness.

This is not a joke, being expelled from Yuanyue Academy is such a strong debuff for a cook who was born in Japan, otherwise there would not be so many students who will be expelled from Yuanyue Academy as the greatest horror .

Destroying 90.00% of the talents to create the [-]% of the absolute elite, this is the education model that Yuanyue Academy has been pursuing for so many years. To be honest, Uncle Liu didn’t even know that this school was opened to benefit people Still destroying people.

"If you nod, I can arrange for her to come to the Central Plains."

Yan Fei said to Liu Bo.

Although he only got along for a week, Yan Fei has seen countless people. He already knows Tian Suohui's nature very well, and he also admires such a kind and lovable little girl. The downside is that she has a docile personality, without the impetuousness and coquettishness that women often have nowadays, and even he finds it pleasing to the eye.

"This..." Uncle Liu hesitated for a moment, and then quickly relieved, "Forget it, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and everything depends on Xiaohui's own decision. What I should do is to give her more choices instead of restricting her. Her choice. I just hope that when I'm gone, you can take care of Xiaohui for me. She has a soft temper and soft ears. I'm afraid she will suffer in the future. "

"Don't worry, Xiao Hui is your disciple, and she also called me 'Master Ah Fei' for a few days. She has something to do, and I will definitely not sit idly by." Yan Fei nodded.

Uncle Liu showed a relieved expression.

He knows that in this world, no one's guarantee is more trustworthy than Yan Fei.

Uncle Liu thought for a while, then suddenly asked Yan Fei, "By the way, what's the matter with your Xiaokai? As a descendant of you and Xue's family, he didn't practice martial arts at home, but came to Dongying... seems to be still painting. Comics, I don't quite understand it. I was afraid that Xiao Kai would think that I, an old man, meddled too much, so I didn't ask him the reason. It's rare for you to come today, so I just asked you."

Yan Fei's son would come to Dongying to study. Uncle Liu thought it was very strange. When he asked Yan Kai why he came to Dongying, Yan Kai said that he was here to draw comics. Uncle Liu felt that the longest life The advantage is that you can see a lot of weird things.

"This one……"

Yan Fei's expression became very strange. He took out a book from his arms and put it on the table in front of Uncle Liu. The book was very old, the blue cover was whitish and faded, and the pages on the side were also yellowed, but it was generally preserved. Fits well, no noticeable damage.

"what is this?"

Uncle Liu asked curiously.

"The notes left by my grandfather during his lifetime."

Yan Fei replied.

"Oh, it's martial arts notes!"

Uncle Liu was stunned, no wonder Yan Fei wanted to keep it close to him.

"It's not the notes on martial arts." Yan Fei shook his head, "It's the outline of the novel written by my grandfather in his early years."

"..." Uncle Liu couldn't calm down anymore. He was very glad that he was not drinking tea now, otherwise it would be impossible to guarantee that he would not spray Yan Fei's face with a sip of tea.

"Don't make such an expression..." Yan Fei shook his head slightly, "It's like you were a cook, but you were forced to go to the battlefield, so is my grandfather. His original ideal was to become a well-known novelist, but he is good at He wrote martial arts novels about chivalry, but in the Central Plains at that time, those novels about love between men and women were easier to buy, and his novels couldn’t be bought, so he had no choice but to choose to save the country.”

"Cough, cough, cough!" Uncle Liu coughed, and he apologized to Yan Fei, "I'm sorry, I'm not disrespectful to Senior Yan Jing..."

"Just kidding, don't get excited." Yan Fei smiled lightly, "It doesn't matter whether the novel can be bought or not. My grandfather realized that there are so many stubborn people who can't wake them up with a pen." , and those enemies who ravaged the land of the Central Plains cannot be driven away by the power of novels, so they turned to practice martial arts."

"However, he still couldn't let go of the things he liked, so he wrote down the outlines of all the novels he had conceived in his mind at that time, which is this notebook."

Yan Fei gently put his hand on the note, and Liu Bo's eyes on the note also became serious.

Do heroes come out of troubled times?But he seems to have seen the troubled times turning ordinary people into heroes...

"My grandfather entrusted this notebook to his best friend, who is also a writer, before he devoted himself to learning martial arts. The two had agreed that after the restoration of the mountains and rivers, if my grandfather was still alive, the stories in the notebook would be He will write it. If he fails to wait, the friend who keeps the notes will write the story for him. Unfortunately, the friend of my grandfather also gave up writing in the end to join the army, so this agreement can only be Let it go."

Hearing this, Liu Bo was in awe, this is another hero.

"After the Anti-Japanese War ended, my grandfather's friend found my father and my grandmother who were hiding. He handed this notebook to my father, saying that he would never have the chance to pick up a pen again in his life. I hope my father can pass it on. The stories in it are written for the world to read, and I hope that future generations can understand the ideal chivalrous spirit of my grandpa from those stories."

"At that time, there was a civil war in the country, and there were still many people coveting my grandfather's martial arts. My grandfather's friends were afraid that something would happen to my father and my grandmother, so they arranged for my father and my grandmother to smuggle to Xiangjiang, where the situation was relatively stable at that time, to live in seclusion. After I settled down, I devoted myself to studying the martial arts secret books left by my grandfather, and I had no interest in writing novels, so I put this notebook on the shelf.”

"As for my generation... well, I'm not interested in writing novels either. I've flipped through this notebook, but I haven't thought about writing the stories in it into novels. It's too troublesome."

Speaking of this, even Yan Fei felt a little embarrassed.

"Then what do you mean, Xiao Kai came up with the idea of ​​drawing the stories in it into comics after reading this notebook?"

Asked Uncle Liu, this was the most reasonable explanation he could think of.

But Yan Fei shook his head slightly: "That's not the case. I'm sure Xiao Kai hasn't read this notebook, because after all, when I saw the first manga drawn by Xiao Kai, I felt that I had an impression in my mind. I searched the library for a long time and found it from an inconspicuous place. It seems that no one has looked through it for many years. Therefore, there are other reasons for the small meeting to draw comics."

"Then why?" Liu Boqi asked.

"What I said next is just my guess, I'm not sure, just listen to it." Yan Fei gave Uncle Liu a vaccination for a while, and then slowly said, "My grandfather was in martial arts before his death. With brand-new insights, and these insights, he, a dying person, did not have the energy to record them in the form of words, so he used a more dangerous method, using a method similar to the Buddhist "initiation" His lifelong martial arts insights were instilled into my dad who was only four years old at the time, and it was the first time my grandfather used that kind of method, so besides his martial arts insights, it seemed that there were also There were some other weird things mixed in, which caused my dad to have an extra voice in addition to my grandfather's martial arts perception, asking him to buy a house. My dad thinks that this should My grandfather's family was in decline, so he had a strong obsession with the ancestral house, so after returning to China, with the help of the state, he got my Yan family's ancestral house back."

"..." The expression on Uncle Liu's face became more and more indescribable.

It's all over the top, why does he suddenly feel like listening to a fairy tale?

But carefully recalling Yan Fei's ability that he had seen when he and Yan Fei were wandering together, apart from not being able to fly into the sky and escape from the ground, it was not much worse than the sword fairy in the sword fairy novels he read when he was young, so Uncle Liu quickly Calm down again.

Then Yan Fei continued: "And this seems to be inherited. When I was not successful in martial arts, there was always a voice in my mind that kept urging me to buy a thing called 'bi coin'. It might be some ancient coin cultural relic. Well, I didn't pay attention to it. But when Xiao Kai, the things in his mind became pictures and stories, which should be the novels and obsessions that my grandfather couldn't write back then!"

"But why is it a comic and not a novel?" Liu Bo asked.

"Compared with novels, the threshold for reading comics will be lower, and there are far fewer young people who read novels now." Yan Kai replied, and after thinking about it, he added, "Of course, this may have something to do with my brother-in-law. It also has something to do with his wife, sister-in-law and Xiao Kai who took him to read comics when he was very young. Comics were the first form of storytelling he came into contact with. Interesting stories appeared in his mind, and the first thing he thought of was to use The form of comics expresses it."

"So that's how it is..." Uncle Liu finally understood everything, but he was a little worried, "But, does Xiao Kai know? He didn't draw comics from the heart, but was driven by the legacy of his great-grandfather... "

"Old Liu, let me just ask, what is 'from the heart'?" Yan Fei asked Uncle Liu, "Did you fall in love with the chef after seeing a kitchen knife?"

"This..." Liu Bo was speechless.

Yan Fei said seriously: "Isn't it because of the result of being ignorant since childhood! The same is true for Xiao Kai, do you think my great-grandfather's leftover emotions really have such a strong effect? ​​That can't be called a spiritual seizure? It only played a spiritual role. The role of guidance, but it will definitely not be the force that influences Xiao Kai's actions. Xiao Kai wants to draw manga only because he thinks the story in his mind is very interesting, so he will not hesitate to run away from home and expend so much energy to complete those stories."

"Okay, I understand." Uncle Liu heaved a sigh of relief. He thought Yan Kai was controlled by some force, but he was overthinking it. It is impossible for Yan Fei to watch his son become someone else's puppet, even if it is his own. Neither can grandpa.

"This is actually a good thing for Xiao Kai." Yan Fei said again, "Xiao Kai has had very little contact with the outside world since he was a child, and he has devoted himself to practicing martial arts and other miscellaneous things. I am basically not interested in things like this. This is my problem. I only focus on teaching him to learn but not to teach others how to understand the world, which makes him a little less human. And for things like communication, it is useless to force him. Xiaokai is 12 years old Finally, Ah Rong sent Xiao Kai to school, hoping that Xiao Kai could make friends at school and become more cheerful in the process of getting along with classmates, but it never worked. I have been thinking about how to make Xiao Kai take the initiative to talk to others Contact, Xiao Kai told me that he wanted to draw manga, and also told me about the pictures that appeared in his mind from time to time. I thought that the spirit left by my grandpa would be the end here, but it turned out that Xiao Kai There are still some, thinking that with my current cultivation base, it is very simple to eliminate that little mental influence for Xiao Kai, but I thought, maybe this is a good thing, so I did not eliminate it, but let Xiao Kai come to Japan to study If he wants to draw manga, he can just do it. Manga cannot be drawn by one person with just one pen. He must integrate into the surrounding environment, carefully observe the performance of the people around him, and gain a deep understanding of the psychology of all kinds of characters. Only in this way can he draw a good manga. This is tantamount to forcing Xiao Kai to understand the outside world and get in touch with people, which can not only solve Xiao Kai’s problems, but also fulfill my grandfather’s wish, isn’t it a great thing that kills two birds with one stone!”

"So that's how it is!" Uncle Liu was completely relieved, and he said with a smile: "It really isn't a bad thing, but Senior Yan Jing is still caring for his descendants even though he has passed away for many years!"

Yan Fei is also laughing, and he thinks so too.

"By the way, Ah Fei, you said Senior Yan Jing wrote a novel. What's the name of the novel he wrote? I may have read it!"

Uncle Liu asked Yan Fei.

Yan Jing and him are only one generation behind. He may have read the novels written by Yan Jing when he was young. After all, he still liked reading novels when he was young.

"Well, my grandfather only wrote one, called "The Legend of the Banner Heroes". Have you read it? Even if you haven't, have you heard of it?"

"Uh..." Uncle Liu hesitated for a while, but still chose to answer honestly, "I haven't read it, nor heard of it."

"Oh." Yan Fei responded lightly and said, "It looks like it really won't sell."

"..." Uncle Liu.

Chapter 410 five is his father

Afterwards, the two chatted for a while, and Uncle Liu suddenly said to Yan Fei: "A Fei, you came to Dongying secretly this time, and you only came to see me, an old man, and didn't you go to see your son?"

Yan Fei shook his head: "He has his own life, and it's not that he can't go on talking about it. It depends on what he does."

He is not the kind of parent who clings to the child, for fear that the child will bump into it. No, it should be said that he is the kind of parent who is very strict with the child. Yan Kai's serious attitude is derived from Yan Fei's education, but He will not treat the child as his own doll, and must make the child move in the direction he planned.

"However, the monitoring of you will be relaxed during this period. After one or two months, the eyes staring at you will change back to their original appearance. At that time, it will not be so easy for you to come to Dongpu."

Uncle Liu persuaded Yan Fei.

It is now late October [-], the eve of the quadrennial American presidential election. The eyes of the world, various intelligence organizations and spy agencies around the world are all focused on American’s presidential election On the road, and only in this short gap, Yan Fei had the opportunity to avoid the eyes and ears nailed around Jingyun Villa, and quietly came to Dongying to see Uncle Liu.
