Komatsu's Love Defense

Yu Ji cast his gaze towards A Lu, and the corners of his lips slightly raised. He gave a kind and friendly smile, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's really beautiful! Back then, I was also a gourmet."

When Ah Lu heard that Yu Ji was actually a gourmet, he couldn't help but widen his eyes. His face was full of disbelief, and he asked with a bit of curiosity: "Hey, Grandpa Yu Ji is also a gourmet?"

Yu Ji nodded slightly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. He showed a firm and confident look, and answered in a positive tone: "Yes, I retired when I was very young."

A Lu stared at Yu Ji closely, his face flashing with excitement and joy, and asked with a puzzled tone: "Could it be that you are the one who tamed the tiger chicken and made it lay eggs?"

Yu Ji's eyes narrowed into thin slits, his eyes flashing with unconcealable joy, and he nodded without hesitation: "Haha, that's right! The chicks I found in the field before turned out to be the chicks of the tiger chicken."

When Ah Lu heard this, he was shocked. He opened his mouth wide and said in astonishment, "Did you raise them from chicks? Tiger chickens are very ferocious when they grow up. They are at least level 50. They are very dangerous beasts. That's why no one can snatch eggs from a million pings."

When A Lu said this, he stretched out his hand and gently scratched his head. A trace of doubt and confusion appeared on his face, and then he asked very frankly and directly: "So, your real purpose of taming this tiger chicken is to make money?"

When Yu Ji heard what A Lu said, his face turned extremely gloomy. Anger flashed in his eyes, and he scolded in a stern voice: "How is it possible? Watch your words!"

I couldn't help but frown slightly, raised my palm and gently patted A'lu on the back of his head, and said with a little anger: "You are really stupid, Mr. A'lu! You know, even Koko's emperor crow was raised by him from a tiny chick. And Grandpa Yuji raised this tiger chicken cub, which took so much effort and energy. He has already regarded it as his own family!"

Yu Ji sat quietly in the same place, his eyes full of vicissitudes staring at me and A Lu. Then, he picked up the cup of hot tea, tilted his head slightly, and gently took a sip of the hot tea.

After a while, Yu Ji let out a long breath. He exuded an endless loneliness and desolation, and his tone was unusually low and full of sorrow: "Just one year before I found the tiger chicken cub, my first wife unfortunately passed away... That was when I was still an active gourmet!"

When Alu and I heard the sad news, we were so shocked that we couldn't say a word for a long time. The heart-wrenching feeling was indescribable. Because I know very well how painful it is to lose a loved one. It is simply an unhealable scar in life.

At this moment, Yu Ji's eyes were empty and lifeless, his face revealed a lonely feeling, and even his voice became particularly low and lost: "Originally, I was working blindly to cheer up my sick wife. I was only thinking about making some money so that my wife could have delicious meals. I accepted all the work commissions and plunged into finding ingredients."

Yu Ji paused for a moment. He lowered his head slightly, as if a heavy burden was weighing on him. His voice became extremely depressed at this moment: "But... when I came to my senses, my wife's illness had worsened. When I finished my work and returned home after a long absence, my wife was already terminally ill."

Yu Ji slowly raised his head, his eyes blurred. He saw the past through the void in front of him, and his voice became hoarse and low: "I still remember it. Those were the words my first wife reluctantly said... My first wife said at the time that compared to endless wealth, she wanted more than just to have a meal with me."

Yu Ji was immersed in the memories of the past, unable to extricate himself. Unconsciously, tears had quietly filled his eyes. He could no longer suppress the grief that surged like a tide in his heart, and finally couldn't help crying out loud: "I... what on earth have I done... I have been busy making money all day... I am really... too bad!"

A Lu stared at Yu Ji who was in endless sorrow. After a moment of silence, he took a deep breath and slowly said to comfort him: "For gourmets, it is just a means and not an end. You forget that the most important thing is the joy of eating."

When Yu Ji thought of this, tears kept rolling down his cheeks. He seemed to want to vent all the pain and regret in his heart. His tone was filled with endless self-blame and regret: "Looking back, the food my first wife liked... the shame is that I can only remember one... that is tiger chicken eggs, she always enjoyed eating them."

When Yu Ji said this, his eyes became particularly gentle, and his voice was filled with undisguised melancholy as he said, "When I found the tiger chicken chick, I felt that this was fate... Because that place was where my first wife was buried, I felt that it was her reincarnation. My first wife's name was Meiko, so I named the chick Meiko and decided to raise it."

I stared at Yu Ji quietly, a faint bitter smile appeared on the corner of my mouth, and I responded with deep emotion: "Indeed... Perhaps it is because of this deep love that even such a ferocious and brutal tiger chicken will feel close to you."

Yu Ji looked at me, his tense expression now relaxed. Suddenly, he burst into laughter: "Haha... This happened 50 years ago. I retired from the gourmet world and stayed by the tiger and chicken. Of course, I lost my income. I sold the land bit by bit and lived off it. In the end, I only have this square meter left."

A Lu stared at Yu Ji, puzzled by his selling of this piece of land of great significance. Unable to suppress his strong curiosity, he asked, "Why do you want to sell such an important piece of land this time?"

Yu Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a kind and warm smile on his face, and spoke in an unusually frank and direct tone: "It's very simple... I will also pass away soon."

After hearing what Yu Ji said, Ah Lu was shocked. He was shocked and asked in disbelief, "What? Grandpa Yu Ji...you said...you are going to die?"
