Chapter 9: Wang Hengyue's Team (Third Update, Seeking Recommendations!)

  "When he was six years old, he contracted a serious illness. Although the disease was cured, unfortunately, he could no longer hear." Qin Guangcheng nodded at Yang Fangyun and sighed: "Later, I heard that Shandong Meili's husband and wife were teaching deaf students, so I sent him there in the hope of making up for it a bit. Fangyun also worked hard, excelled in all subjects, and graduated smoothly."

  Wang Hengyue nodded.

  In 1917, American missionaries Mr. and Mrs. Mills established the "Dengzhou School for the Deaf" in Dengzhou, which was one of the earliest schools for the deaf in China.

  Merrill is an American Northern Presbyterian missionary, who preached in Dengzhou for 34 years. After founding the first school for the deaf and dumb in China "Dengzhou Qihu Academy" with his second wife Mary Martin, he moved Qihu Academy to Yantai 19 years later.

  Qin Guangcheng continued: "After the Mei Rishu couple moved their school to Yantai, he was among the first batch of graduates from the Yantai School for the Deaf. There, Fang Yun learned how to read lips and mastered many things that normal people know!"

  As he spoke, he turned his head to Yang Fangyun: "Fangyun, this is Wang Hengyue, Mr. Wang, who will soon go to Leshan to take up a new military post. Although you have a disability, you also have ambitions, and staying here with me for too long may delay your career. Why don't you go to Leshan with Mr. Wang? Although he is younger than you, his literary and military talents will surely make him stand out in the future. Following him closely may also bring you a bright future. It would not be in vain that your master entrusted you to me. Be sure to treat Commander Wang with the utmost respect and never slack off for a single day!"

  He spoke very slowly so that Yang Fangyun could fully understand. Yang Fangyun didn't say a word, and silently nodded her head.

  This round of drinks was a farewell wine, and several people got drunk. By the next afternoon when he woke up, Wang Hengyue's head was still a bit dizzy.

  Qin Guangcheng and Yang Fangyun were already waiting in the living room, and when Wang Hengyue and Pete arrived, Qin Guangcheng had everything ready for them to take on the road.

  All the way to the gate of Chengdu, Qin Guangcheng repeatedly reminded him that if he didn't get along well in the army, he must remember to come back. Only then did they reluctantly bid farewell with a wave of their hands.

  Qin Guang had prepared three horses for them. Wang Hengyue had never ridden a horse before, and it took him a lot of effort to get on the horseback. Pete and Yang Fangyun were quite skilled in riding, not at all strenuous. Seeing Wang Hengyue like this, it was not surprising.

  After riding a short distance, someone suddenly darted out from the side of the road and hastily waved his hand: "King Wang, stop! King Wang, stop!"

  Wang Hengyue didn't react for a moment, and it wasn't until later that he realized the "Master Wang" being called was actually himself. He reined in his horse to take a look, and surprisingly, it was that shameless scholar Yu Lei who had arrived!

  "Master Wang, the student has come to pay his respects." Yu Lei immediately knelt down on the ground and respectfully kowtowed several times to Wang Hengyue before standing up.

  "How did you end up here?" Wang Hengyue was greatly surprised.

  "The scholar has been waiting for you since last night."

  "What were you doing waiting for me here last night?" Wang Hengyue was completely bewildered.

  Yu Lei's reply was respectful: "Yesterday, Shengyuan met with Master Wang and Qin Guangcheng, Du Chali, and entered the official residence of Ye Du. Thinking about it, now that a new army is being trained, looking at Master Wang's attire, he must have returned from the West. The new army is currently lacking in talents like Master Wang, and seeing Master Wang and Qin Guan and Du Chali coming out with a spring breeze on their faces, I reckon Master Ye has already entrusted a mission to Master Wang."

  This remark made Wang Hengyue more alert; this person's power of observation was not ordinary: "And then?"

  Then the birth member thought, my new army is currently practicing one regiment, stationed in Leshan, Ye Duoling only manages to practice soldiers, and it must be that the adult will be put into the Leshan army, so the birth member waits for the adult to arrive.

  This guy really has some skills, Wang Hengyue thought to himself.

  No matter how shameless this person is, not everyone has the ability to observe and judge. Relying solely on observation, he actually guessed Wang Hengyue's future prospects clearly!

  Wang Hengyue looked him up and down: "Then what's your purpose in finding me?"

  Yu Lei replied with his hands hanging down: "The students have nowhere to go, in Chengdu it is really hated by humans and gods, and no one is willing to take in the students..."

  "You're quite self-aware," Wang Hengyue said with a smile.

  "It's true, being a person is precious because of having self-awareness." Yu Lei was not angry at all: "Lord Wang that day took pity on the student and gave the student a way out. Please ask Lord Wang to show mercy again and take the student with him to join the army."

  Wang Heng did not expect him to make such a request: "Do you want to join the army with me?"

  "What a wise decision! The young man can write, do arithmetic, and handle miscellaneous tasks. You can pay him a salary or not, it's all the same to you. You've gained a cheap accountant and handyman, what's not to be happy about?" Yu Lei said these words with a straight face: "Moreover, since you've taken in the young man, he will definitely treat you with the same filial piety as his own parents. If you scold him, it's an honor for him; if you beat him, he'll feel grateful. You might as well consider yourself to have gained a adopted son."

  There is no one in the world who is more shameless than Yu Lei!

  This man is already over thirty years old, much older than Wang Hengyu, but he treats Wang Hengyu as if he were his own father, and the only purpose is to be able to eat a meal.

  "You, thick-skinned, extremely thick!" Peter exclaimed, unable to listen any longer.

  "Your face is as thick as mine." Yu Lei said calmly: "You also don't care about your dignity, running to Ye Duolei's place every day for a living, do you?"

  "You, shameless..." Pete was furious. His Chinese was already poor to begin with, how could he possibly scold Yu Lei? He was so angry that all he could do was repeat "shameless" over and over again.

  Wang Hengyue shook his head at Yu Lei's shameless appearance, intending to refuse, when Yang Fangyun suddenly pulled him and whispered: "This person is useful, take him."

  Wang Heng looked at Yang Fangyun and thought for a moment. Indeed, such a shameless person in this era might still be useful someday.

  "Yu Lei, what a strange name, Fish Thunder?" Wang Hengyue muttered to himself, then said: "Since that's the case, you can follow me for now. As for what we'll do, I'll tell you when we get to the army."

  "Great wisdom!" Yu Lei didn't show any joy: "Let the scholar ride with this foreign devil on one horse."

  "No, no! Absolutely not, absolutely not!" Mr. Pitt shouted loudly. Unfortunately, Wang Hengyue had already nodded on the other side, and it was beyond Mr. Pitt's control.

  Wang Hengyue felt a sense of absurdity, what was he himself? What kind of people did he lead? A deaf person, a foreigner, plus a shameless scholar, this was the foundation of his own military team?

  Heaven knows what kind of trouble this group of people will stir up when they go to Leshan!
