5391 End Valley
"Why did you suddenly say this?" Mu Yu was closing his eyes, intending to enjoy this rest time, because he was about to go to the battlefield again to charge.
"It's inevitable that you will die in war. I'm just going to make a way out. What if I suddenly die one day, right?" Li Lin smiled, looked at the blood-red sky and said with a smile.
"Okay." Mu Yu was stunned for a moment and replied coldly.
Li Lin and Mu Yu don’t know how they became good brothers. Li Lin is lively and cheerful by nature and is very popular, while Mu Yu is always very cold and doesn’t like to talk. Their personalities are like nothing they can do, and they can even get together.
Li Lin didn't know why this day, but suddenly felt that he might not have lived for a long time before he suddenly said such words. Their children were over one year old. They originally planned to return to their hometown to take care of their children after the battle.
Unfortunately, luck made people feel bad, but the weather was not good. In the following rented battle, Li Lin was indeed killed in the battle just as Li Lin had expected before.
Mu Yu survived and won the battle. Because of injury, he lost one of his left eye. Mu Yu returned to his hometown and took Li Lin's children home to adopt them as Li Lin's instructions during his lifetime.
The women in the village were captured by the enemy and became prisoners of war. This was why Li Lin and Mu Yu went to the battlefield. Unfortunately, his wife and sister-in-law were not able to come later. Mu Yu was left alone and the two children, one named Li Huo and the other was Mu Lian.
Mu Lian was a few months older than Li Huo, and the two lived in the name of their brothers. Mu Yu did not tell them that they were not brothers, but just wanted to raise them safely and let them help each other like brothers.
In this way, Li Huo and Mu Lian lived a good life under Mu Yu's raising. Although they had never felt maternal love since childhood, their father Mu Yu was once a soldier and was very good at disciplineing their children.
However, although the two of them supported each other, when they were seven or eight years old, a disaster happened again, and the country broke out again. Mu Yu, as a veteran, was asked to go to the battlefield again.
Mu Yu had no choice but to send a message that if Mu Yu didn't go, he would let his two children go. So although he had experienced the pain of losing his brother once, Mu Yu didn't want to go to the battlefield anymore, he couldn't let their two children go.
If he wanted to go to the battlefield, the daily life of these two children became a big problem. They were too young and had no ability to take care of themselves. I don’t know how many years he left. Mu Yu thought about it all night and decided to send the two children to the mother of his deceased wife.
Early the next morning, Mu Yu took Mu Lian and Li Huo's two children on the way to his grandmother's house. The trip was very far away.
Over the past seven or eight years, Mu Yu has treated both children very well. Obviously, these two children also like Mu Yu very much. When they learned that Mu Yu was about to leave for a long time, they were still so young, so they naturally felt very reluctant to let go.
However, Mu Yu told them that there was really no other way and promised that they would definitely come back, but it did not explain the time. He himself did not know how long the battle would last, and he even didn't know whether he could come back alive.
After walking for two days, the single talent finally arrived at Grandma Lihuo's house. Grandma looked very fierce, and the two children were a little scared when they saw it. Obviously, Grandma disliked these two children, probably because of the death of her daughter.
"I don't want to stay here, Dad, take us back." Mu Lian, who has been cowardly since childhood, was frightened by her grandmother's appearance. She grabbed Mu Yu's trouser legs and said crying, sounding very heartbroken.
Mu Yu also knew that his wife's temper was indeed very bad, and he would definitely be very bad to these two children. The reason why he and his wife had not come back to see this mother for so many years.
Thinking of this, Mu Yu couldn't help but feel heartbroken, but this was the only way. It was better than letting them wander outside. Staying at grandma's house is at least safe and ensuring basic warmth. After the war is over, it will be convenient for him to find them.
So Mu Yu made up his mind and left directly. He had to do this. If this continues, the children will be even more reluctant to give up themselves, and they will not be willing to separate from them, nor will they let them suffer. But who can understand his own thoughts that have no other way?
Mu Yu left his wife and mother's home and went to the battlefield.
On the first night, my grandmother gave her two children a bowl of porridge without any oil or water.
After Mu Yu returned to his hometown, he worked hard every day, and coupled with the subsidies in the army, although he was not rich, it was enough to allow his two children to eat and drink well. Now, with such a big contrast, the two children really couldn't accept it.
The two children looked at the porridge in front of them and had no appetite at all. Grandma herself ate chicken legs without caring about the feelings of the two children.
After finishing the meal, my grandmother finally found that the two children had not moved their chopsticks, so she asked.
The two children answered truthfully, and they couldn't eat enough if they could not eat like this. Grandma was so angry that she directly accused the two children.
"Do you like to eat? Don't blame me if you are hungry in the middle of the night!" After the grandmother finished the fight, she left fiercely.
My grandmother didn't arrange a room for her two children, so she let them sleep in the cellar. The two children lay on the ground, covered with the thin quilt, looked at the wall above her head, and couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
"I miss my father." Mu Yu thought about it, and shed tears again and said.
"So, but...oh, don't think so much, go to bed." Li Huo, who had been older than Mu Lian for several months, was much more mature in his mind, so he comforted him like this.
The next morning, before the sun even came out, the two of them were woken up by their grandmother.
"From today, you have to earn your food and accommodation on your own, which means you have to split the ingredient every day." Grandma said, as if she had forgotten what happened last night, and now she spoke more kindly.
After all, the two children were still young and had no way to resist, so they had to do as usual, otherwise they would not even have food.
In this way, the two eight-year-old children had to do various farm work every day. Their thin body could not bear the work, and their grandmother would not help. She just basked in the sun and drank tea and told them to work hard, otherwise she would not want to eat.
