"Dad." Gao Lianfeng couldn’t hold back any longer, then ran over and knelt there, wrapping one arm around Gao Mantang’s leg.
"Dad, I’m back." Gao Lianfeng said, crying.
"It’s good to be back, it’s good to be back, hurry and get up." Gao Mantang said, supporting Gao Lianfeng.
Gao Zhitao was also in tears, then pulling at his own father, said, "Dad, hurry and get up, don’t wipe your snot on grandpa’s leg."
Gao Mantang helped his son up, then looked him up and down. Gao Lianfeng now had a pale face, much slimr than before.
"You’ve suffered." Gao Mantang said, his trembling hands gripping Gao Lianfeng’s arms.
He had a surreal feeling, happiness had co too suddenly, leaving him unsure of how to express his joy.
"Grandpa, Dad, let’s sit down first." Gao Zhitao said, leading the two to sit down.
Only then did Gao Lianfeng pull his father to sit on the sofa to one side.
"Dad, I’m sorry, I made you worried." Gao Lianfeng said.
"It’s good to be back, it’s good to be back." Gao Mantang kept repeating this phrase, gripping one of his son’s arms, Gao Mantang couldn’t help but wipe away another tear.
The three sat there for quite a while, and once Gao Mantang was sure that this was not a dream, he looked at his son and said, "Tell , what exactly happened?"
At the ntion of this, terror appeared in Gao Lianfeng’s eyes, regardless of how excellent a soldier he used to be, during his captivity, all his pride had been worn down, leaving only fear of that ti.
"Let’s not talk about it, let’s not talk about it, today the three of us should have a drink, and call your uncle, your father’s brother, so our whole family can have a good gathering." Gao Mantang said excitedly.
Gao Zhitao nodded happily and then prepared to go...
So are happy, so are worried, just as Gao Zhitao’s family reunites. anwhile, on a mountain in City Number Six, a person was there eating wild herbs.
This person was very tall, his clothes sowhat ragged, and his hair ssy.
So soldiers nearby had seen this person, they originally wanted to capture him, but each ti he managed to escape.
They called this person a "wild man;" there had been legends of wild n on the mountain before, so it was not surprising that one appeared here now.
If Xiaoxuan saw this person, he would recognize him imdiately. He was Tie Zhuzi.
Tie Zhuzi stayed in the mountains and would not leave until he found Xiang Yu.
Because the routes down the mountain were controlled, he hadn’t descended in a long ti.
Here, without adequate food or equipnt for hot baths, over ti he had beco just like this.
But Tie Zhuzi did not retreat, he searched every day, holding onto a belief in his heart: as long as Xiang Yu was on this mountain, he would find him, even if it was only a corpse, he would give Xiang Yu a proper burial.
"Look quickly, that wild man is eating wild herbs there." At this mont, a few soldiers cautiously said from a distance.
"Let’s go, we’ll capture him, everyone be careful, don’t alert him." A few soldiers cautiously said.
They maneuvered from different directions, closing in on Tie Zhuzi.
Now Tie Zhuzi was sowhat hungry, and he was diligently searching for things he could eat.
Ever since the recent fire, it had been difficult to find food here. But luckily things grew quickly here, and so small animals had co over from other peaks, just enough to fill Tie Zhuzi’s belly.
Tie Zhuzi was eating wild herbs, his nose was very keen, he had already slled the incoming people but remained unmoved.
The soldiers slowly approached Tie Zhuzi until they were three ters away, when soone shouted "onward!" and they all pounced.
Five people grabbed onto Tie Zhuzi’s body, so held arms, so held legs, and others held his waist.
"Got him, quickly bring the rope!" one shouted.
At this mont, Tie Zhuzi suddenly exerted himself, standing upright then tossing off the person holding his arm.
With each hand, he grabbed the person clutching his legs and then threw them off.
In the blink of an eye, the soldiers were all knocked to the ground. Against Tie Zhuzi’s might, they had no power to resist.
Following this, Tie Zhuzi went forward and tore their clothes to shreds, taking food from their pockets.
Each of them had compressed biscuits, very useful.
At first, they were shocked, thinking this "wild man" would harm them, but surprisingly Tie Zhuzi just took food and left.
These people were scared into a cold sweat, but fortunately, no one was hurt.
Once it was known that the "wild man" only wanted food, during patrols, they deliberately left compressed biscuits in certain spots.
Actually, these soldiers were not bad; they were just bored patrolling the mountain. These were the orders from above, which they could not defy.
From then on, Tie Zhuzi could easily find food in the mountains, and the soldiers no longer sought to capture him, creating an unspoken understanding between them.
Just as well water doesn’t mix with river water, they kept a certain distance and did not engage.
The wild man’s presence spread in the military, and the tales grew more and more widely, with many wanting to see the wild man firsthand.
Moreover, this news soon began to circulate among the public, with many people wanting to climb the mountain for adventure, but these were halted before reaching it.
Xiaoxuan, living alone outside, had heard about the mountain, but didn’t think much of it.
The world is full of wonders, so even if a wild man exists in the mountain, it wouldn’t be surprising; he likewise believed that sea monsters roam deep lakes.
Yet this news quickly reached the upper echelons of the military, who issued an urgent command that, for public safety, the wild man must be captured.
When this order was issued, all soldiers were surprised, because they knew this "wild man" wouldn’t harm anyone; he only took so food.
Many wanted to argue with the top leaders, but leadership ignored their words.
With obedience being the highest duty of soldiers, since there was a directive, they had no choice but to begin searching the mountains for the wild man.
"Really can’t understand what the top managent is thinking, the person is living well here, yet why capture him?"
"That’s right, I’ve seen the wild man these days too, he seems quite pitiable. Oh."
"Don’t talk nonsense, it’s the leadership’s decision, we don’t understand; maybe the wild man has significant research value."
These soldiers couldn’t fathom the orders from above, knowing only to obey.
And at this ti, Tie Zhuzi, as usual, explored deeper into the mountains. Each ti he traversed a distance, he marked the place to confirm his direction.
After all, within the vast mountain forest, he could easily lose his way, unaware that danger was looming...
