The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 1005

[Chapter 1005: Old soldiers never die, they just wither away]

“Report to the fast horse censor, we are almost at my village. The sea breeze is cool. You can put on one of my clothes.”

“I live by the sea all day and I won’t feel cold even if I swim in the sea at night. This is your first time at the seaside. I’m afraid you will catch a cold.”

After saying this, Zhang Yang quickly took off his coat and threw it away.

He put it on the back of the fast horse censor.

“I didn’t expect you to be so careful. I didn’t see it before.”

The fast horse censor also began to laugh at him. The relationship between the two was already very close.

“Thank you, fast horse censor. In fact, this is all very normal.”

“The fast horse censor doesn’t need to be so positive. It is my blessing to be entrusted by the emperor. The fast horse censor should not flatter me.”

Zhang Yang was naturally very humble. Since he was taught a lesson by Lin Tian last time, he was also very inferior.

After returning home, he thought a lot about this kind of thing, which created his character.

“The village ahead is my home, but it’s too late now. It’s 4 a.m., and people will get up to fish in two hours.”

The fast horse censor also took the lead, and the bumps on the road made him bumpy.

“I am familiar with the road here. If the fast horse censor doesn’t mind, let me lead the way for you.”

Seeing Zhang Yang so careful, the fast horse censor was naturally very happy.

“Since you are so polite, you will lead the way, and I will follow you and drive carefully behind.”

Zhang Yang also rushed up in Mal and stood in front of the fast horse censor.

The two finally arrived at the village one after another.

At this time, there were already hardworking fishermen who began to weave fishing nets for today’s task.

And this fisherman also saw two people coming over outside, so he picked up the harpoon and started to defend.

The competition here is very fierce, and even people from other villages will come to steal fish.

The Bohai Bay is also turbulent every day. People should not only pay attention to their own fishing tasks, but also defend against theft by outsiders.

“Who are you? Stand still. You got up so early to steal fish? I’m going to kill you today.”

The villager holding the harpoon stabbed the two men straight at him.

Zhang Yang recognized that this was his father and shouted.

“Father, I’m back to see you.”

After saying that, he quickly jumped off his horse and knelt on the ground.

It proved that the person holding the harpoon also stayed in place, and the two were familiar with each other’s tone.

“Yang, are you really back? Aren’t you following the officials as an assistant now?”

Such questions are also very normal. After all, when Zhang Yang followed Lord Lin, he also said goodbye to all kinds of elders and villagers.

“I also came back for something, and I hope my father can listen carefully.”

After Zhang Yang finished speaking, he hurried to support his father.

The backs of the two were illuminated by the full moon in the sky on the ground, and you reminded the fast horse censor of his father.

“My father died young, worked hard for the whole country, died on the battlefield, and won his dignity.”

Thinking of this time, the fast horse censor also secretly shed tears.

He envied the fact that he could have a complete family, and he grew up with his grandparents.

“Quick Horse Censor, come quickly. It’s windy outside. Tie up your horses and come to my house.”

Zhang Yang and his father were already driving slowly towards home, and the Quick Horse Censor followed behind them with two horses.

The fishing village here also uses stones as building materials for their houses.

Because these stones are marble, they are eroded by wind and seawater all year round at the seaside.

Marble can effectively resist these erosions, so they are used as building materials.

With the creaking of the wooden door, the lights in the room also lit up slightly.

“Mother, Yang is back. Put down your chores and cook for your son and his friends.”

Zhang Yang’s mother also stood up from the ground quickly and quickly came to the stove to boil fish soup.

“Why is my son back now? Hasn’t he been helping the officials?”

The same question was asked by Zhang Yang’s mother.

Since the last time he transported cotton, Zhang Yang was taken away by Lin Tian.

The two old people were worried about their son at home all day, hoping that their son could become a talent as soon as possible.

Now that his son has returned, he feels somewhat lost.

The Imperial Censor also came in. Looking at the dilapidated scene in the room, he could see the last stubbornness of the people of Yan.

Even if their families were destroyed, they would not give up their land.

“Mother, I came back this time to ask for something important. Once again, we have to contribute to the country.”

Zhang Yang did not say anything to his parents, but directly pointed out the importance of this time.

“Has the cotton shipped last time been delivered? Is there something wrong this time?”

The father also asked, after all, cotton is also their cash crop for the year to buy food and tools.

Now without these things, the villagers of the entire fishing village can only make fishing tools by themselves.

“The cotton last time has been completely sent to the military camp, so that the soldiers of Yan State can enjoy the warmth of their war uniforms.”

“And this time we need the help of all the villagers, I will tell you now.”

Zhang Yang looked at the fast horse censor, after all, such things also need the fast horse censor to come forward to solve.

“Two elders, I am the emperor’s personal appointment, the fast horse censor, and I came here to ask for something important.”

“Because there are some crises in our Yan State at present, which has paralyzed the entire textile industry and slowed down the production of soldiers’ clothes.”

“Therefore, the emperor also ordered the two of us to come here, so that we can get the help of the villagers and effectively alleviate this crisis.” The

fast horse censor also talked about the problems before and after, and Zhang Yang’s father and mother nodded frequently after listening.

They heard that they would eventually become a noble family and make their small fishing village flourish again.

No matter what difficulties they encountered, they could solve them. Their village had survived many disasters.

“Since the country is in trouble, we villagers will naturally give our all. Serving the country is our responsibility and duty as the people of Yan.”

Zhang Yang’s father was also a soldier, but he was forced to leave the army after being injured on the battlefield.

However, due to the corruption of the court, he did not enjoy the treatment of a soldier’s injury. But

as long as the country is in trouble, Zhang Yang’s father must be the first.

This is a soldier’s unshirkable responsibility, and it also made the fast horse censor take off his hat. A father like this bowed deeply.

It represents the highest salute to the veteran.
