Infinite Myth Counterattack

Chapter 51 The Meaning of Living

"President Chen, oh my brother, you have become a great benevolent person who opened warehouses and donated relief after so many years, and you have become more and more energetic. Look at me, brother, my hair is graying."

"Heh, I heard that all the military forces in Xiangxi, including the other warlord forces that invaded, have all belonged to you. What else do you have to worry about?"

"Where and where, Lao Luo is always making small troubles, and he is not as good as Mr. Chen, hehe."

In front of the gate of the Chen residence, Chen Yulou brought Luo Changfeng, Hong Miss, Hua Maguai, and Kun Lun to meet them.

After Luo Laowai arrived with Adjutant Yang and four guards, he complained without waiting for Chen Yulou to speak, and the corners of Chen Yulou's mouth twitched.

But this guy is really not talking nonsense, he is only in his 40s, but his temples are already gray. When Luo Changfeng saw him last year, he didn't have gray hair yet!

Chen Yulou automatically ignored his complaints, exchanged some pleasantries with him, and then turned to invite him into the house.

After exchanging pleasantries with Chen Yulou, Luo Laowai turned his attention to Luo Changfeng, grabbed Luo Changfeng's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Haha, Brother Changfeng, I haven't seen you for more than a year. Brother, I miss you." Hurry up!"

Luo Changfeng glanced at him, and said calmly as always: "Oh? How much do you think?"

"Uh..." Luo Laowai was in a mess at the time, why didn't this brother play his cards according to the routine?

Chen Yulou and the others almost didn't laugh, calling you a hypocrite, playing hypocrisy with Changfeng, you will never die of embarrassment.

"Ahem, this, anyway, I really want it!" Luo Laowai scratched his cheeks, smiled awkwardly, and then didn't dare to come again, and said sincerely: "What happened last year, brother, I still owe you a thank you, If it weren't for you and the brothers to help, brother, I wouldn't be in the weather I am today."

Seeing that Luo Laowai finally became serious, Luo Changfeng stopped choking him, "It should be, Luo Shuai is too polite."

"Okay, my brother, it is indeed what you should. I won't talk nonsense, brother. In the future, if you need my help, brother, feel free to speak."

"Then the younger brother will not be polite to Luo Shuai."

While talking, when they arrived at the main hall of the Chen residence, the guests and hosts were seated separately, and the difference in status could be seen at this time.

Chen Yulou and Luo Laowai sat at the main seat, Hua Maguai and Hong girl stood beside Chen Yulou side by side, Luo Changfeng took the first chair on the left under the main seat, and Kun Lun stood behind him.

Adjutant Yang stood beside Luo Laowai, and four guards stood on the left and right of the door, acting as sentries.

Luo Changfeng is not only the leader of Xiling swordsmen, but also the chief instructor of Changshengshan martial arts. Although he has not made it clear, his status has basically been stolen by the Xiling group, and he is the second leader of Changshengshan by default. He has a seat.

Although the status of Miss Hong and the others is not low, they do not have official positions, they are just the confidantes of Chen Yulou and Luo Changfeng, so they have no seat.

But even those leaders and leaders who have positions in the body have to show some face when they see them, as the so-called seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister's door are like this.

What's more, even if they don't have a position or the status of Chen Yulou and Luo Changfeng's confidants, their ability alone is enough to make them respected by others.

"Okay, Luo Shuai, we are all brothers of our own family. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. We don't want to engage in nonsense." Chen Yulou picked up the tea cup on the coffee table, took a sip, and then put it down.

"Okay." Luo Laowai responded, and then described his current situation in detail, and finally said: "Lao Luo, I came here today, just to ask Mr. Chen to come out of the mountain, bring all the men and guys, and look for him." A big tomb is dug up, and two to one artifacts are added to make five, and the family gets half, what do you think?"

Chen Yulou smiled bitterly and said, "To equip Luo Shuai's division, at least a few thousand fast guns, several million rounds of bullets and a dozen cannons are needed."

"British goods are no better than those made in Hanyang, but they are really not cheap. Use your abacus to figure out how many artifacts you can dig up to buy these equipments?"

"If you like Luo Shuai, at least you have to find a large tomb of a prince. Now that the nearby ancient tombs have been excavated by us, how easy is it to find such a large tomb?"

When Luo Laowai saw what Chen Yulou said, he said with a stern face: "My boss, if it's an ordinary small move, do you still need to trouble you? My brother, my engineer, dug the camp, and he did the work himself."

"The army has been expanding too fast these days, and the military budget is tight. If we don't pay the brothers with silver dollars, then there will be a mutiny in the army."

"Mr. Chen, if you don't want to save your life, the brothers will have no choice but to leave this mess behind and continue to go up the mountain and fall into the weeds."

Luo Changfeng was fascinated at the time, and he glanced at Luo Laowai expressionlessly, with 1 disbeliefs in his heart.

Is there really someone who is willing to give up their glory and wealth, leave their army of tens of thousands of people, and go to the mountains to become a bandit if they are not emperors?Even if Luo Changfeng was killed, he wouldn't believe it.

Seeing Luo Laowai say this, Chen Yulou felt helpless. In fact, why didn't he think so?
In the past few years, he has opened granaries every year to help the people, and his money is very tight, and he is thinking about going back to the big one, but he hasn't found any good targets for a while.

In addition, the old man has been very dissatisfied with him in recent years, and he didn't make up his mind, so he had no choice but to say: "Luo Shuai, let me think about this matter for two days. I have to consider all aspects of the situation before I can give you an answer."

"Sure, then I'll wait for you for a few days."

……

Three days later, Chen Yulou still ordered the warehouses to be opened to release grain.

On the city wall near the gate of Xiangyin City, Chen Yulou and Luo Changfeng stood side by side, looking at the ragged buildings below, and thanking the grateful people after receiving a coarse-grain steamed bun, they sighed in their hearts.

A woman with a child in the refugee group, who had just received a steamed bun, turned around and saw Chen Yulou, and immediately pointed to the city wall excitedly and shouted: "Look, my child, it is Mr. Chen who is in charge, our great benefactor, my child!" , Quickly kowtow to our great benefactor."

The woman's voice attracted the attention of all the refugees. They turned around one after another, kept bowing to the city wall, and shouted words like "Thank you Mr. Chen for saving your life".

Chen Yulou was filled with emotion, feeling that the invisible responsibility on his shoulders was a bit heavier, and immediately hugged the refugees.

People like Chen Yulou, in the words of later generations, are typical people with a great sense of social responsibility.

In future generations, at best, he would be regarded as a wealthy businessman who is enthusiastic about charity, but in this era, he is a living bodhisattva with countless living people and Buddhas from thousands of families.

"I took a long breath to cover my tears, mourning the hardships of people's lives... Alas." Chen Yulou recited a line from Qu Yuan's "Li Sao", and then let out a long sigh.

Luo Changfeng on the side said lightly: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, just do your best."

Chen Yulou said in a deep voice: "I have lived for less than half of my life, and it was only when I started helping the people three years ago that I finally found the meaning of my life. This matter is not only to do my best, but also to do it at all costs. "

Luo Changfeng glanced at him, and said, "You are already very lucky. Many people never figure out why they live until they die."

Chen Yulou turned to look at Luo Changfeng, and smiled, "What about you? Did you find it?"

Luo Changfeng was silent for a moment, then looked into Chen Yulou's eyes and said, "I didn't have it before, but now I found it."

The smile melted on Chen Yulou's face. He was very happy. It was worth it to have a like-minded brother who understood him in his life.
