Drop of Cinnabar in the Heart (7) (2/2)
Zhu Junyang picked up his son and patted his fleshy butt. He said with a smile, “Stop eating. The army has already entered the city!”
Little Baozi instantly threw the matter of the pastries shrinking in size to the back of his mind. He rushed towards the window and yelled, “Entered the city? Where? Let me see what the big general looks like!”
Yu Xiaocao was startled by his sudden action. Seeing that her husband had held the child tightly and didn’t let him jump out, she poked her son’s little head and said, “You ah! So fearless! This is the second floor. If you fall down, your head will surely crack open! If you do this again, then we won’t bring you out!”
Little Baozi casually agreed as he tried hard to look out the window. Zhu Junyang decided to just let him sit on the window. The view was good here and Little Baozi had good eyes. Seeing the army coming over in an orderly fashion, he excitedly exclaimed, “They’re here! They’re coming!”
The window next door was also opened, and upon hearing his voice, a little head stuck out. When the little guy saw Little Baozi sitting on the window, he also pestered his older brother to let him sit on the window.
With no other choice, his older brother carried him onto the window and cast a look of dissatisfaction in their direction. When he saw Fang Haolin, he snorted coldly, “I was wondering who it was. So it turned out to be you, this boorish man!”
“Humph, loser! What are you looking at? A weakling like you can come, so why can’t I?” Fang Haolin, who had taken over his brother-in-law’s place, held his young nephew’s arm as he shot back sarcastically.
Little Baozi looked at the adjacent window curiously. He nodded politely at the young boy, who was two years older, and meditated in a childish voice, “Uncle Lin, don’t quarrel with others. You must be reasonable!”
Fang Haolin lowered his head to look at his nephew and said loudly, “One can only speak reason with those who understand. For certain unreasonable people, you should use your fists to make them surrender!”
The youth recognized the chubby child in Fang Haolin’s arms and knew that Imperial Prince Xu was also in the room next door. He endured it and didn’t hurl insults back at the other party. Imperial Prince Xu wasn’t someone who they, the family of a third-ranked military official, could offend!
Little Baozi continued, “Uncle Lin, fighting is wrong!”
“Some people need a beating!” Seeing that the other party had remained silent, Fang Haolin felt as if he was punching cotton.
Zhu Junyang was afraid that his younger brother-in-law would lead his son astray. He coldly snorted, “Since you like fighting so much, you should go stay at Xishan Barracks for a few months! There are countless fights there every day, so you can fight to your heart’s content!”
Growing youths all had a yearning for the military camp in their hearts. Especially Fang Haolin, who was born in a military family and fell asleep listening to his father’s battlefield stories every day. He had long wanted to go prove his ‘strength’ in the military camp!
He still didn’t know about his misery in the next few months, and excitedly said, “Older Brother-in-law! Can I really go to Xishan Barracks to experience military life? You aren’t lying to me?”
“It’s not a good idea, right?” Yu Xiaocao looked at Fang Haolin. He was still a growing child——it wasn’t good to let him suffer too much.
“Older Sister, don’t worry! My martial arts was personally taught by Older Brother-in-law. Even if you don’t believe me, shouldn’t you believe in my older brother-in-law? Moreover, I’m just going to the barracks to experience life, and with my relationship with Older Brother-in-law, no one will dare to do anything to me!” Fang Haolin was so happy that he was about to fly.
