“Wen Renwu!” He had just returned home with little Yan Hanjiang when he heard a loud shout: “Are you the thug who secretly wrecked Wang Hu’s wine shop the day before yesterday?”
A sturdy man with broad shoulders and narrow waist who was even taller than the young Wen Renhe reached out to flick Wen Renhe on the forehead, saying angrily: “We border town troops are here to protect the people, how can you disrupt them instead?”
Wen Renhe was in a daze before remembering that this man was his elder brother Wen Rentai.
The memory was from too long ago so Wen Renhe had to think about it for some time before finally remembering that it was indeed him who smashed it. Wang Hu was a drunken bastard who was afraid of the outside world, staying in the city wall all day long and saying that the border town would not be able to defend itself sooner or later. He said that sooner or later, the Wen family would have to leave, and would be replaced by some drunken officials who would leave the people behind and escape before the city was invaded.
Wen Renhe was also in the wine shop a few days ago, the teenage feelings were simple and strong so disgust was disgust and like was like. He respected his father and brother and thought that as long as there was a Wen family in the border town, it would be absolutely fine. Hearing Wang Hu’s words, he was so angry that in the middle of night, he masked himself and spilled Wang Hu’s wine, roughly shaving off his full beard making Wang Hu chin full of shaving scratches.
He thought he was being secretive at that time, but did not expect that a young man of 14 or 15 years old in the border town with good material art skill in the whole border town was probably only Wen Renhe. His pair of bright and irritated eyes were different from other people in the town so he was easy to recognize at a glance.
The young man’s forehead was completely red while little Yin Hanjiang was so angry that he opened his mouth to bite Wen Rentai’s arm.
Wen Rentai immediately panicked: “Kid, let go! My arms are too hard! If you bite too hard, you might break your teeth!”
Little Yin Hanjiang: “……”
The big man was at a loss in front of little Yin Hanjiang, fearing that he might hurt him, he finally had to take it out on his younger brother: “Wen Renwu, are you using this child as a shield because you did something wrong?”
“Little Hanjiang, let go.” Wen Renwu gently pinched Yin Hanjiang face and said gently: “Your face has just been bandaged, don’t tear the wounds.”
Little Yin Hanjiang slowly let go and Wehn Renhe hugged Yin Hanjiang with one hand while hooking his brother’s shoulder with another. Pressing his forehead on Wen Rentai’s broad arm he whispered: “Big brother, it’s great to see you again.”
Even if it was only a memory from his soul’s sea.
Wen Rentai has been stationed at the border for many years so his skin was not very good, tanned and a little rough. His tanned face blushed as he lifted his hand full of scars and touched Wen Renhe head saying as he shook his head: “Don’t give me this crap, you won’t be able to avoid the beating today!”
That day, Wen Renhe was beaten while his father was in military camp and his older brother was guarding the rear. Wen Rentai pressured him to apologize to Wang Hu and pay for damages in front of people of the border town, he inflicted military justice on Wen Renhe in the wine shop, giving him fifty military sticks on his back, splitting his back open.
Little Yin Hanjiang, held by Wen Renhe’s mother, was so angry that he wailed and screamed, trying to break free from those not-so-soft hands and lunged to protect his venerable’s back.
“Don’t move!” The woman who looked very gentle but actually had a strong backbone, said: “Watch well, no matter what the reason, as a border army, if you do things that hurt ordinary people you will be dealt with according to military law. It’s only because he is still young that he is receiving less punishment, otherwise it would not be finished until the stick was broken!”
“Distressed…” Little Yin Hanjiang touched his heart and said.
“Of course it hurts, it’s also hurts this mother’s heart to watch her son being hit.” A line of tears slid down from Wen Renwu’s mother face, but just she raised her hand to wipe it off as she continued: “But I can’t just discard it, the people’s livelihood is not a trivial matter!”
A tear that was not wiped away fell on Yin Hanjiang’s small hand, he licked it and it tasted salty.
After being beaten, Doctor Li treated Wen Renhe – with great force.
After being bandaged, he had to kneel in Martyr temple for the whole day and night.
Little Yin Hanjiang wanted to stay by Wen Renhe’s side, so the Wen family servant prepared a cushion for him. He just had his legs cut and couldn’t kneel down so he could only sit on the cushion and say angrily: “Venerable was right.”
“No, I was wrong.” Wen Renhe explained gently.
“How could Venerable be wrong?” Little Yin Hanjiang tilted his head, his eyes full of admiration.
“Is that how you’ve always seen me?” Wen Renhe smiled and scratched his nose: “No wonder in your eyes, I was the one who looked the least like ‘me’ between those illusions”
Mentioning the heart demon’s illusion and the inability to recognize him, little Yin Hanjiang face wrinkled again, looking very annoyed.
Fortunately, this was Wen Renhe’s soul Sea, Yin Hanjiang was also just a soul body so he wouldn’t be affected by heart demons. There was only one young Wen Renwu in his eyes and there was no extra ‘venerable’. However, …… there was a mother and older brother who looked very much like his lord. They hurt the vulnerable but because they looked too much alike, little Yin Hanjiang could not bear to teach them a lesson.
Wen Renhe touched little Yin Hanjiang’s little head and said seriously: “Yin Hanjiang I was not born strong nor was I wise since childhood. When I was a teenager, I thought my parents and brother were the gods that could stop all the disasters in the world and the border town could always remain quiet but it was a big mistake.”
How can there be an all-powerful people? It was just to show backbone, even if their spine was broken, they wouldn’t show any weakness.
Wen Renhe told little Yin Hanjiang what would happen after the beating. A month after being punished, his father, Marshal Wen would return to the border town on his rotation leave. When he heard about this matter, he beat young Renwu again and only after this beating would he change from a strict father to a loving father and tell him about Wang Hu’s past.
That old man Wang was fifty years old this year. Forty years ago when Marshall Wen was also still just a child, a border town was in an emergency but local troops fled. The outsiders invaded and then ten-year-old Wang Hu was hidden in the wine cellar by his mother, the young child who should still have childish and innocent eyes, witnessed countless evil deeds.
Hearing this, Yin Hanjiang also remembered his own past, his heart ached so much that his breathing became difficult.
Wen Renhe, who held him in his arms, continued: “But he survived and lasted until my grandfather was ordered to take the army to reclaim the border town. He was a war orphan that could go with the army to the nearby government offices, where there were good places that took in these children. But he did not leave the border town and stayed to become a soldier. Before I was
