Iron Bull Legend

Tie Niu just listened silently on the side, trying to get some information he wanted from their conversation, but from beginning to end, it was all about the past, some trivial life-saving things in the past. This was also considered a normal relationship.

Several waves of Mr. Guo's friends and patients who had benefited from him in the past came to pay their respects. Tie Niu could tell from the conversation between the two sides. It was not until 9:30 in the evening that those who came to pay their respects said goodbye and left, and the whole compound fell silent.

At around half past ten, all the helpers gradually dispersed. After all, they had to get up early the next morning to help prepare for the funeral. These were all decided according to the funeral committee of the memorial service, and it was enough for them to just cooperate.

In the darkness of night, the dim lights in the yard made the entire yard look a little eerie and strange, and the entire mourning hall looked chilly and windy. Combined with the cold air in March, the yard was filled with an atmosphere of sadness.

The elderly people also chatted in the living room for a while and then returned to their rooms. Young people like Charles Long, An Fei'er, Irina and Li Xiaocao had returned to their rooms after dinner. Even my aunt Chu Miaomiao did not come to the front yard all day, and the food was delivered to the room.

Tie Niu and several retired security guards were sitting in a large shed built in front of the mourning hall and chatting. After all, they had very little time to talk with Tie Niu, and everyone was very happy to meet Tie Niu, their big money sponsor, this time.

After all, they came to Tie Niu's house as security personnel, and their salary was more than twice that of other industries. Moreover, the daily food and drink for them was the highest standard of treatment during this period of time. If they had family members, they could bring them along.

We arrange food and accommodation, work, and if you have children, we also arrange for them to go to nearby kindergartens, primary schools, and middle schools. This has eliminated everyone's worries and allows everyone to work with peace of mind and do the guarding work of the compound.

This alone is enough to make them fight to the death to protect the compound. In their understanding, the instructor assigned to them by the compound is simply a living god on earth who can crush stones into ashes with a wave of his hand and you can't even see his figure when he's in a flash.

Therefore, they all firmly believed that there were more powerful masters in the compound, and they were just idle people acting as spies and pretending to be there on the outskirts of the compound. They didn't need to fight for their lives at all.

As we all know, the welfare of the entire compound is incomparable to other places. Food, housing, and daily necessities are all arranged by others. Even if you want to spend the salary, you can't spend it. It's just like being in the army. Every salary is earned properly. It's more comfortable than the army.

Whether adults or children want to see a doctor, they just have to go to the courtyard next door, boil some herbs into a soup and they will be cured. Or they can get a few injections and a few massages and they will miraculously come back to life and do whatever they need to do. This is all welfare.

Just tell the kitchen staff what you want to eat every day. Meat is supplied all year round in unlimited quantities. Vegetables are even more common. In the cold winter and early spring when vegetables are most scarce, their greenhouses have the freshest fruits and vegetables. What else do you think you are missing?

This is the confidence of the Tie family. You don’t have to doubt that this is the confidence of their arrogance.

Everyone was feeling a little tired in the early hours of the morning. After all, everyone was feeling the same way after a busy day. Even though there were people on shift to take over, everyone was still drowsy in the early hours of the morning and some were already snoring slightly.

Tie Niu had no desire to sleep at all. He looked at the coffin in front of him and smiled bitterly. He and the corpse in the coffin had a hatred that almost wiped out his entire family. However, he was not an ordinary man. If his strength was even a little weaker, the whole compound would have turned into a haunted house with gusts of evil wind.

Tie Niu opened his eyes unconsciously, and the Huanghuali coffin became visible in an instant like tofu. The body of Grandpa Tong was lying quietly inside, his pale face was colorless, as pale as paper, and his eyes were closed.

The feet were tied together tightly with thin hemp ropes. This was a custom in the north. Tie Niu didn't know why or what the explanation was. These were procedures passed down from the older generation. The big money in the mouth was also tightly clenched by the teeth.

It is really hard to imagine the difference between the dry skin and the time when Grandpa Tong's breath in his dantian was not drained. At that time, Grandpa Tong was full of energy and his skin was white, plump and tender like a child. Comparing himself with now, Tie Niu understood a truth.

That is how great the damage to Grandpa Tong was when his vitality was drained. In that moment, all his functions had aged in an instant. It was really not easy for him to live to this day. Tie Niu also felt the cruelty of doing this.

It also made him more determined not to do so in the future. If the enemy were to be strangled, they would be killed directly and not given a chance to survive. This was a disrespect for life and a challenge to the laws of nature. It also made him have awe for nature from the bottom of his heart.

This is also the main reason because of Mr. Guo. They are afraid of hurting Mr. Guo's feelings. This is also a helpless dilemma. They can't let Mr. Tong die, but they have to let him live to ensure the safety of everyone in the entire compound. Because, Mr. Tong cannot be compared with every life in the compound, and more importantly, they want to protect the lives of all people in the compound from being threatened.

Tie Niu couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought of this, he retracted his gaze and let out a bitter smile and a long sigh. He knew that he was not wrong in handling this matter, but the two people had different positions and different beliefs in the motherland behind them, just like those Jindan-level super masters that Tie Niu buried in Daliang Mountain in Ping'an Town. Each of them served his own master and had his own bottom line.

Everyone in the entire compound is Tie Niu's family, and even more so Tie Niu's relatives. Everyone in this compound is Tie Niu's taboo, a forbidden delicacy that cannot be touched. No one can touch Tie Niu's bottom line. The only ones who can touch it are the dead or fools like Grandpa Tong, who are demented.

A gust of wind blew, causing Tie Niu to shudder all over and shrink his neck unconsciously. The weather in March was really cold, and the presence of the coffin on such a night gave people a gloomy atmosphere. If it weren't for Tie Niu's own strength and faith, he really wouldn't dare to sit here.

The cold and clear light of the stars in the sky added a sense of horror to the mourning hall. If the brothers nearby were awake, they would definitely be frightened, their bodies would tremble with fear, their eyes would tremble with fear, and their souls would drift away.

Tie Niu stood up with his legs feeling a little numb. He kept jumping on the open space in the yard, constantly speeding up the blood flow in his veins to allow himself to recover to the best condition as soon as possible. His hands also kept poking his stiff and numb face, and he felt the tip of his nose was cold.

Until a ray of dawn in the eastern sky brought light to the earth, the whole world seemed to come alive, because outside the gate, a tofu delivery shop was unloading the dripping large pieces of tofu from the truck.

This is the main dish of the famous tofu banquet in the north, and it is also the most important dish when someone in the family has passed away. It is also the most clear distinction between red and white weddings at a banquet. Tie Niu only understood this when he ate it for the first time in a small mountain village on the way to Wukeshu with Park Zhengguang.

Tie Niu hurried over to help the tofu official deliver large pieces of tofu to the kitchen in the yard. Smelling the bean fragrance emanating from the tofu, Tie Niu's stomach unconsciously made a sound of hunger resistance, and there was also a desire in his mouth to eat a few big bites.

Get a large piece of tofu and sprinkle some northern farm-style paste on it, and this northern specialty snack will become a delicacy in your mouth. It is also the northerners’ favorite simple way of eating, and the favorite way of eating that has been popular for generations. Tie Niu also does this after the tofu official delivers the goods.

While everyone else was drowsy, Tie Niu was holding a large bowl with a palm-sized piece of tofu steaming on it. He sprinkled the browned soybean paste that had just come out of the sauce jar on it. He picked up a piece with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. With a light sip, the comfortable feeling in his stomach was gone.

Old Huazi came out of the gatehouse yawning, his shoes hanging down without being put on, like the sloppiest woman in the countryside, not caring about his image at all. Just like his name, he still kept the appearance of Huazi over the years, but he was cleaner than the sloppy Huazi.

"How come you, brat, know that you can eat alone?" Tie Niu raised his eyes and saw the old man staring at him with a pair of eyes without dignity. He couldn't help but chuckle. Just this smile made one feel the daily behavior of the old and the young, the feeling of being disrespectful to each other.

"Look at what you said. I'll give you a piece. It was just delivered. Did you wake up because of the smell?"

"Haha, you little bastard, you know your grandpa Huazi well. You also know that I like this best. However, I would like it even more if you could make a bowl of mutton soup and a few lamb legs or lamb chops for me. After sending him to the mountain, you can arrange these for me." The old Huazi came over and took the big bowl, put his nose close to it and smelled it directly, "This is the smell."

"What kind of taste is that? Eat a few bites while it's still hot. Don't lie there like him and not be able to enjoy the taste. Don't you agree?" Tie Niu smiled wickedly.

"How can you talk to me like that, you little bastard? I won't compete with him. Isn't it nice to enjoy such a good life? He doesn't want to be a good person, but has to be a ghost. I really don't know how he has lived like a dog for so many years. He is not as free as an old beggar like me, right, little bastard?"

"Hehe, old man, you are the one who understands life. Hasn't the young widow from the corner of the street come to see you for a while? You are already at this age, it would be great if you could just get along with someone who understands you and serves you tea and water?" Tie Niu made a face at the old man and squinted his eyes.

"Get lost, you should ask that old guy in the backyard about this matter, he follows me around every day."
