Chapter 18: He Lao's Gaze (Additional Chapter)

  Following the direction of his grandfather's bow, Feng Si Zhe saw an old man with some white hair sitting on a sofa eating congee fed to him by a slender girl. When Feng Si Zhe's gaze met his, the old man's eyes flashed with a sharp glint, although it was brief, but it left a deep impression on Feng Si Zhe, this was definitely a spark that could only be emitted from the eyes of someone who had experienced many hardships and struggles, and even this spark was more piercing than the gaze of Bao Jing Guo when he met him that day.

  If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Feng Si Zhe really wouldn't have believed that such an old man who even needed others to feed him could have such sharp eyesight. At this moment, Feng Si Zhe wasn't exaggerating when he said that he felt the gaze could pierce through his soul and see what he was thinking in his heart.

  Mingyuan has arrived, sit down, there's no need for so much courtesy in one's own home. With just a glance at Zhao Zhongjiang, He Lao said this casually. Then he fixed his gaze on the young man Feng Sicheng behind Zhao Zhongjiang, that gaze seemed very casual, yet it could also make people feel that kind of focus.

  Feng Siche, a man who had seen too much turmoil in his previous life, especially during the period when his uncle was hospitalized. Many national leaders came to visit him, so Feng Siche could be said to have seen and experienced a lot. But for some reason, whenever he met He Lao's gaze, he still felt a chill from the bottom of his heart. Perhaps it was because this time he had come for his granddaughter. Anyway, Feng Siche's heartbeat was very irregular, until his uncle also sensed his unease, casually patted him on the shoulder and said, "Old chief, this is my grandson Feng Siche, who has returned with a double master's degree from England, haha."

  Until his grandfather's hand patted on his shoulder, Feng Si Zhe's heart was inexplicably at ease, as if it was because of his grandfather standing beside him. "Hello, Grandfather He," Feng Si Zhe still didn't lose his manners and bowed slightly towards He Lao.

  What Feng Sicheng didn't know was that during the war years, there was a story about He Lao. At that time, He Lao had just been promoted to regimental commander and received an order from his superiors to go and reorganize a local anti-Japanese militia group on a nearby mountain. To put it nicely, this anti-Japanese militia group was actually just a bunch of bandits. There were also Nationalist troops in the area who went to persuade them to surrender, but for some reason, they didn't succeed. Later, with an attitude of trying one's luck, He Lao was sent by his superiors, and he brought only one bodyguard with him to the mountain, where he met the bandit group of over 200 people. At that time, He Lao relied on his sharp eyes and gaze to subdue these bandits, allowing them to smoothly join the people's anti-Japanese arsenal.

  Later, one of the bandit leaders said that He Lao's gaze was too sharp, and once he was stared at by this gaze, people felt that their whole body was not in control, and even the conditions they had thought of in their hearts were not dared to be mentioned. They joined the armed forces of the People's Army in a muddled way.

  This matter naturally cannot be verified, but in any case, through this story, it can still be seen that He Lao's vision has reached a legendary height.

  "Hmm, not bad." He glanced at Feng Si Zhe's face and body before lightly saying these few words.

  "Haha, haha." Listening to He Lao's evaluation, Zhao Zhong's face was filled with excitement and joy, as if saying that his grandson, Zhao Mingyuan, couldn't be any worse.

  He Lao seemed to have seen what Zhao Zhongjiang was thinking, "Mingyuan, you don't need to be too proud either. Foreign monks aren't necessarily better just because they're foreign. Young people still need to experience more setbacks and hardships in the process of growing up. Constantly flattering them isn't necessarily a good thing."

  He Lao's words suddenly enlightened General Zhao, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly. It was replaced by an extremely serious expression, then he said lightly: "Yes, I will remember what you said, Chief."

  "Alright, since Si Zhe is here, why don't you accompany him to the backyard for a walk? Young people like freedom after all. With an old fossil like me around, I'm afraid there are many things that can't be said." After finishing speaking, He Lao lightly waved his hand and saw the girl who was feeding him porridge earlier stand up. "Grandpa, you chat with Grandfather Zhao, we'll go to the backyard for a bit."

  He nodded slightly, not in words, but with his eyes fixed on General Zhao. The two of them sat there chatting about old times, having come down from the battlefield together. He Lijin, who was standing beside him, also walked over with two cups of tea at this time, serving as a server and placing one cup in front of each of her father and General Zhao.

  Feng Si Zhe nodded politely towards He Lao, then nodded towards his grandfather. After seeing his grandfather wave goodbye, he followed He Sha Sha to the side door of the villa.

  Although Feng Si Zhe had seen many women in his previous life, and even many brothels were not without experience, but like today's traditional blind date was still the first time. Unconsciously, there was a hint of nervousness, perhaps because of the influence of He Lao's gaze, he didn't dare to look at He Sha Sha straight in the eye. It wasn't until they arrived at the backyard that Feng Si Zhe finally had the chance to take a good look at his fiancée, He Sha Sha, who was arranged by his uncle.

  Just now, Feng Si Zhe only felt that He Sa's figure was good, but now that he saw her face, he truly felt that she was indeed a rare beauty.

  She was wearing a white dress with flowers, which made her slender legs fully visible in front of Feng Siche, and it would inevitably make people feel a sense of youth. Her long black hair was cut neatly to the eyebrows, giving off a delicate feeling, setting off her snow-white face beautifully. Her eyelashes were long and curled, her eyes big and lively, her nose bridge high and sharp, her mouth small and red, in short, all the characteristics that a beauty should have could be found on her.

  Just as Feng Si Zhe was sizing up He Sa Sha, she suddenly said "Have you had enough of a look?"

  Suddenly, the beauty in front of him said this, Feng Si Zhe was stunned, and then smiled awkwardly. In the case of meeting for the first time, staring at someone like that is indeed a bit impolite.

  Just as Feng Si Zhe was thinking of how to explain his indecent behavior, He Sa suddenly came out with another sentence, "You are very special."

  Thank you 843429740 for supporting the genius, thank you for the red envelope you sent. Previously, it was said that if one person's red envelope support exceeded 400, an extra chapter would be added. For you, the genius will add more chapters for the first time, and can also get more support from everyone.

  Tickets can be reused 24 hours later, as long as the number of tickets exceeds 30 per day, an additional chapter will be added. If the number of collected tickets exceeds 20, an additional chapter will be added. Personal rewards for ghostly red envelopes, one-time exceeding 400 will add an extra chapter, and 800 will be two chapters. And so on.

  Don't worry that the rogue won't come out, or can't be written, just worry that everyone's red envelope reward and collection votes are not enough. Hehe, the rogue has some drafts stored up, really not afraid of a giant red envelope coming, when angry, one day update 20-30 thousand words is still possible. Hehe, shamelessly smile first.
