A generation of soldiers begins with Feng Yuxiu traveling through time and space with Xu Sanduo

Chapter 436 Do you know how to give a massage?
At the entrance of the town's health center, Feng Yuxiu took out a cigarette, lit it, and stood with his hands in his pockets, gazing at the desolate street.

This village...this town...is so distorted.

Even the seemingly gentle nurse harbors a restless heart.

None of the people in Wangdu Village are accurate in their facial features.

A van was parked across the street, with two elderly women and a middle-aged man standing next to it.

"Dewang, why didn't you dress better? Today is a blind date... but the other person isn't interested in you."

"Auntie, even if I'm terrible, I shouldn't be on a blind date with a deaf-mute, right? Huh? I'm perfectly healthy with all four limbs. I even have three acres of land at home," the man shouted, puffing on his cigarette with a frustrated expression.

“Dewang, you’re forty-three, aren’t you? You’re practically halfway to the grave. Besides, what era are we living in? What can you do with three acres of land? Forget it, go back home. I’ll find you a divorced woman in a few days.”

Dewang shook his head, then stood on tiptoe and spat at the front of the van. "What a piece of trash. He's deaf and mute and he's still so picky. If I weren't young, I wouldn't bother coming here."

-

In the driver's seat of the van, Dezi had a cigarette in his mouth, listening to upbeat music on the radio and nodding his head.

Feng Yuxiu leaned forward and knocked on the car window. Dezi turned around, looked, and immediately rolled down the window, grinning broadly, "Brother Shu!"

Feng Yuxiu got into the car, closed the door behind him, leaned back in his seat, lit another cigarette, and stared at the person in front of the car.

"Who is that?"

Dezi chuckled, "Look, Gao Peng's mom, her son's getting married, instead of preparing to spend her days hauling coal for all the bachelors in our village. She'll haul coal from whoever pays her, and there's this guy behind her..."

Dezi twisted his neck, signaling Feng Yuxiu to look back.

Feng Yuxiu glanced to the side and saw a very quiet girl, her gaze calmly fixed ahead.

The girl was wearing a brown thermal top, and a red and white scarf completely covered half of her face.

"Isn't Brother Shu handsome? He works at a massage parlor in the county town. He used to work at a bathhouse outside the big city... He looks very well-behaved. Who would have thought he would work in that kind of place?"

Feng Yuxiu frowned. "They're in the car. You can't watch your words."

"Hehe..." Dezi leisurely puffed on his cigarette, "A disabled person, unable to hear or speak, so... I introduced him to Dewang, but he didn't like him. These days... it's not like a few years ago, even someone as lazy as Dewang gets introduced to potential partners."

“I just heard it didn’t work…” Feng Yuxiu asked.

"Ah, yes, it didn't work out. Although he can't speak or hear, he's perfectly intelligent, and he's incredibly good with that phone... He definitely wouldn't be interested in Dewang... Dewang is almost forty-three, isn't he just a menace?"

"Brother Shu, how about I introduce you to someone? You're not even forty yet... I just saw you after you got a haircut and tidied up, and you look even younger than me..."

Feng Yuxiu, a cigarette dangling from his lips, asked, "Am I forty?"

"Brother Shu, what's wrong with you? You've been acting strange these past few days. Come on, come on... I'll take you to the city!"

Dezi poked his head out and called out, "Gao Peng's mom, get in the car!"

"Hey, it's coming."

-

The entrance to a massage parlor in Wangdu County.

Dezi smoked a cigarette, his feet treading on the melting ice shards, while Feng Yuxiu stood beside him, gazing at the county town, which was much more bustling than the town itself.

"Brother Shu, look... there's a blind date inside... look at that guy, he looks like a chimpanzee, Gao Peng, seriously, you can't just introduce anyone to someone just because the woman is disabled..."

Feng Yuxiu took a drag of his cigarette and glanced at it. "When did you become so concerned?"

Dezi chuckled, "If Brother Shu doesn't want it anymore, I'll join in the fun too. Even though I'm disabled... I can still take a nap."

Although Feng Yuxiu had lost his memory, he had a strange feeling that there wasn't a single decent person in the village.

Xiao Zhuang was full of empty boasting, and Dezi secretly went over to say the same thing.

As for characters like Erzhu, they vividly portrayed the evil in the village during that era.

Feng Yuxiu always felt that he did not belong here, and that his thoughts were incompatible with this place.

But who exactly he is remains a mystery.

To be honest, everyone here knows him. But to be honest, how could someone with his mindset not have been poisoned by the ideology of this village that's still in the 80s?

"Brother Shu, it's almost your turn. See that little shop over there? Go buy something... You can't go in empty-handed..."

Driven by his physical instincts, Feng Yuxiu went into the convenience store, bought a bag of fruit and snacks, and came out.

“That’s right. Who says my Brother Shu is heartless? Who says my Brother Shu doesn’t know how to deal with people? That’s nonsense.” Dezi chuckled and pushed him inside. “Brother Shu, do your best.”

Just as Gao Peng's mother finished speaking with the chimpanzee, she saw Feng Yuxiu push open the door and walk in. She quickly stood up and greeted him with a big smile, "Oh dear, child, you've come all this way, why did you bring anything... Come, sit down."

Gao Peng's mother turned to look at the chimpanzee, her face turning cold. "You can go back now."

"What about the fifty yuan referral fee?" the chimpanzee hesitated.

Gao Peng's mother, hands on her hips, was spitting everywhere as she said, "Hey, Mr. Wang, it takes effort for me to introduce you to women. Are you going to take back the fifty yuan? Don't make me throw a tantrum."

Old Wang hurriedly waved his hand, stood up, and walked out. "Alright, alright, I can't afford to offend him... consider it feeding the dogs. He had the nerve to introduce me to a deaf-mute..."

Gao Peng's mother wasn't annoyed and pulled Feng Yuxiu to sit down. "Let me introduce you... This is Shu, the most promising young man in our village. This is Xiaomei's mother, and this is Xiaomei's father..."

Xiao Mei's father was wearing sunglasses, and the words "Healthy Joy Blind Massage Center" were clearly visible behind him.

Xiao Mei's mother stood up and politely poured a glass of water, placing it in front of Feng Yuxiu.

These days, everyone who comes is older than her husband, so she was very excited to finally see someone her age.

"This... how big is the tree? Is it thirty? Thirty is just right." Xiaomei's mother asked politely. Although the young man's skin was a bit dark, he looked young.

Gao Peng's mother grinned and laughed heartily, "Shu, do you see? You look so much younger after all that grooming. Xiao Mei's mother, don't mind, Shu is thirty-eight... and has never been in a relationship. He's still a virgin."

Xiaomei's mother said "Oh" and stood up. "Well, you guys keep chatting, I'll go check on Xiaomei in the back."

Feng Yuxiu thought for a moment, then took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to him, "Here, Shu, have a smoke."

Xiao Mei's father touched it and lit it, "Young man, where do you work?"

Feng Yuxiu was stunned; he seemed to be an unemployed bum.

Gao Peng's mother immediately winked and chimed in, "He's learning a skill now. He'll definitely make a lot of money in the future. If Xiao Mei succeeds, she'll be living a life of luxury."

"Oh, do you drink alcohol?" Xiaomei's father asked.

"I……"

"Occasionally, occasionally!" Gao Peng's mother grabbed Feng Yuxiu's shoulder and answered first.

Xiaomei is a tough woman to deal with. After returning from the big city, she has very high standards despite her disability. She has been on blind dates for three or four years and still hasn't been able to reach an agreement with anyone.

In the world of matchmakers, she would be a legendary figure like Abbess Miejue.

If she succeeds, she will become famous for miles around, and a steady stream of people will come to her to introduce her to potential partners. Perhaps she can even experience a second spring in her career.

After chatting for a while, Gao Peng's mother stood up and pulled Feng Yuxiu towards the backyard.

Without any hesitation, I pushed the door open and saw Xiaomei's mother gesturing to Xiaomei.

Gao Peng's mother, who had a loud voice, immediately yelled, "What's going on here? Why don't you come out and greet us? Hey, Xiao Mei's mother, come out with me and let the two kids talk."

Xiao Mei immediately stood up, grabbed her mother's arm, and lowered her head.

Seeing this, Xiaomei's mother gritted her teeth, let go, and went out with Gaopeng's mother.

boom!
The door was closed, and the quiet, cramped room contained only Feng Yuxiu standing at the door and Xiao Mei, who was looking down and clutching the hem of her clothes.

After a long silence, Feng Yuxiu suddenly spoke, "Do you know how to massage? Give me a massage."

Xiao Mei remained motionless, and only then did Feng Yuxiu realize that the woman in front of him was mute and deaf.

So he lay down on the bed, took off his shoes and socks, pointed to his feet, and nudged Xiaomei's arm.

Xiaomei was stunned for a moment, but surprisingly showed no anger. She subconsciously squatted down and sat on the edge of the bed to massage her feet.

The two of them strangely engaged in a formal, commercial massage in the room.
