Chapter 288 The Gathering After 20 Years

After driving the car to the parking lot at the foot of the 'Jiuhua Mountains', Ling Dongtao and the old man both got out of the car. Under the leadership of Ling Dongtao, the two found a relatively remote place and walked towards the mountain.

Since it was already late at night, and the 'Jiuhua Mountains' hadn't been developed much, it was pitch black under the feet of Ling Dongtao and the old man.

Fortunately, neither of them is an ordinary person, otherwise it would be difficult to move an inch in the mountains without preparing professional equipment.

As he walked to the depths of the mountains, the old man couldn't bear it anymore. He stopped, looked at Ling Dongtao and asked:
"what is the problem?"

Seeing the old man stop, Ling Dongtao also stopped beside the old man. After sorting out his thoughts, he said slowly:
"When he called me earlier, he said that Lin Hao's current situation is not good, so he told me to come here quickly."

The old man frowned and asked:
"Lin Hao is with him?"

Ling Dongtao nodded and said:
"Ah."

Without saying a word, the old man strode forward directly, urging Ling Dongtao as he walked:
"Let's go quickly."

The speed of the two people accelerated again. Along the way, Ling Dongtao stopped from time to time to look at the surrounding environment, holding a compass in his hand all the time.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, it had been half an hour since Ling Dongtao and the old man entered the mountains.

Since the old man and Ling Dongtao are both veterans of living in the wild, they moved forward very quickly.

Although it has not entered the depths of the 'Jiuhua Mountains', it has already entered the hinterland.

Suddenly, the two stopped at a fork in the road under Ling Dongtao's signal.

The old man looked silent and stood there without saying a word.

Ling Dongtao looked around the forked road with a compass in his hand, then raised his finger and pointed to a small road on the left.

The old man nodded, and the two of them walked directly to the path on the left.

After a while, a small basin appeared in the sight of two people.

Moreover, relying on his astonishing eyesight, the old man clearly saw several figures in the basin.

When they entered the range of about 15 meters from the basin, Ling Dongtao and the old man instantly felt a chill covering their whole bodies, and the pores all over their bodies stood upside down.

Accompanied by a deep voice sounded from the basin in front:
"Who?"

Hearing this voice, Ling Dongtao curled his mouth and responded:
"It's me, Lao Ling."

With a swipe, Ling Dongtao and the old man felt that the chill covering their bodies disappeared in an instant, and a figure shook in the basin not far away, and a group of people walked directly towards the two of them.

Ling Dongtao pouted at the old man, and said:
"No, they are here."

The old man didn't answer, the expression on his face was very complicated, some were happy, some were guilty, but more excited.

Looking carefully, although he tried his best to restrain himself, the old man's body was still trembling slightly.

Ling Dongtao turned his head and looked at the old man. Seeing the old man's appearance, he didn't say much, but turned his head away quietly.

In a few breaths, those people who walked from the small basin had come to the old man and Ling Dongtao.

However, what was extremely strange was that when the two groups met, they did not greet each other warmly like acquaintances, but fell silent.

No one spoke, just looked at each other quietly.

Looking carefully, apart from the smile on the corner of Ling Dongtao's mouth, the faces of the old man and the group of people who came were very complicated.

After a long time, among the group of people who came, the middle-aged man who looked like the leader swiped, stood in a very standard military posture, saluted with a movement that could be used as a teaching material, moved his lips, and his voice Trembling, two words spit out from the throat:
"marshal."

The five big men who followed the middle-aged man followed closely behind, standing neatly in a standard military posture, saluted a very perfect salute, and shouted in a trembling voice:
"marshal."

Hearing these extremely familiar two words, the old man burst into tears, waved his hand bitterly and said:
"The old man is just an ordinary citizen now, how can he bear these two words."

After all, the big man, including the middle-aged man, patted on the shoulders, and sighed with tears:
"Okay, okay, they're all tough guys, and they're all good."

When the old man patted the shoulders one by one, the six middle-aged men seemed to have received great honor, and each of them straightened their chests, with a deep pride on their resolute faces, and they roared in unison:
"You are always in our hearts and will always be our Marshal."

The tears on the old man's face flooded even more, and he sighed heavily:
"Hey... I'm the one who hurt you."

The six people looked at each other, and they all saw a hint of determination in each other's eyes, and said at the same time:
"Marshal, from the day we followed you, our life belongs to you."

Looking at the determination in the eyes of several people, the guilt on the old man's face became more and more intense, and finally he could only shake his head bitterly, saying:
"In the future, don't call me marshal anymore. Some things are in the past."

The old man's words made the six people at a loss. For so many years, ever since they met the man in front of them, they have been yelling those two words, but now they are suddenly stopped.

So, what are they going to shout?
Looking at the confusion on the faces of several people, Ling Dongtao stepped forward, patted the middle-aged man on the shoulder, and said helplessly:
"From now on, just call me 'Old Lin'."

Hearing Ling Dongtao's words, the noses of the six middle-aged men felt inexplicably sour.

Wriggling his lips a few times, he squeezed out two words jerky and with difficulty:
"Elder Lin."

A big man standing on the far left threw himself on the old man's shoulder, crying loudly:
"Old Lin, Elder Lin, Elder Lin, you still don't have the habit of shouting like a marshal."

"Mr. Lin, it's been 20 years. Where have you been for these 20 years? We miss you."

The man who won't frown even after being slashed several times, is crying more than a little girl at this moment.

The remaining five middle-aged men had red eyes, obviously restraining themselves.

Especially when the man on the old man's shoulder shouted out the phrase 'Where have you been these 20 years?We miss you. 'Afterwards, two lines of silent tears fell from the eye sockets of the five big men involuntarily.

The old man's face was full of old tears, and even Ling Dongtao, who had been standing there with a smile, couldn't help but have red eyes.

After a long time, after a few people vented their anger, Ling Dongtao stepped forward and said with a straight face:
"Let's settle the business first, and when the business is done, everyone will go to my place, and we won't return until we're drunk."
