"A man should be a country, and his heart has been determined for a long time. He should make achievements in life, and he should also establish loyalty when he dies."

Wang Kang seemed to recall in his mind that when he was a child, under the big locust tree in the village, his young father shook his head and chanted this sentence.

It is precisely because of this sentence that Wang Kang resolutely dropped out of school and joined the army during a large-scale military recruitment in his senior year of high school. This time he joined the army for fifteen years.

However, fifteen years later, when he came back for the last time, a year ago, his father, who waved goodbye to him before leaving, turned into a dazzling black and white photo frame on the wall.

He hadn't even had time to meet his father for the last time.

That time, Wang Kang knelt in front of his father's grave for three days and three nights, without dropping water and grains of rice. He finally became dehydrated and fell into a coma, and his mother asked the villagers to be sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.

That time, Wang Kang was hospitalized for one week.

Lying on the hospital bed, Wang Kang became much silent and began to become taciturn. It was also after that that he applied for retirement.

I have not protected my country, so I can protect my country.

When applying for retirement, Wang Kang was already at the level of a lieutenant colonel, in charge of the military region's special forces reconnaissance company. If he had been replaced by a local administrative department, he would be equivalent to a deputy division level.

As for the transfer of employment and demotion of half a level, if Wang Kang transfers to the job, he will definitely not be able to escape. If he is assigned to the county, district and urban area, he will be the actual director of a unit.

However, Wang Kang, who was depressed at the time, gave up his professional opportunity and chose to go home with the retirement money given by the troops.

He swore that he would never leave home again.

Home? What is home? Where my mother is, home.

He wants to protect this home well. If his mother is no longer there, then he will have no home.

He cherishes every second at home.

Listening to every word that the old mother in her arms was like she was in her seventies or eighties, Wang Kang was just silent and lowered his head.

The old man finally got angry after not getting a response for a long time. A trace of blood seemed to flash across his wrinkled face. He opened his mouth and said word by word, "Are you going?"

Wang Kang still lowered his head and did not reply.

A tear suddenly fell from the old man's eyes, his face seemed to be heartbroken, and his right hand seemed to hit Wang Kang's chest hard: "You are going to piss me to death!"

Listening to the old man's tremolo and looking at the tears on the old man's face, Wang Kang was shocked: "Mom..."

"Don't call me!" the old man said angrily: "My son is a hero who stands tall and straight, not your hairless egg."

The old man breathed two breaths, and it took a while to calm down. The old man slowly raised his head, looked at the figure close to him but could not see at all. He reached out his hand and slowly touched Wang Kang's cheek, gently stroked it.

"Kang, didn't mom say that, mom will definitely wait for you to come back."

"The country calls together, this is the supreme glory, the glory of my royal family, not to mention that this matter is related to the life and death of hundreds or thousands of people. How can you refuse?"

"If you live, you will be a hero, and you will be loyal and loyal. My son is a hero in his life, and you will be loyal and brave. Even if my family has no sons and grandchildren, there will be no regrets."

"Mom is proud of you, you can't let the Wang family be shamed."

The old man's words finally changed Wang Kang's face slightly. Wang Kang lowered his head and looked at his old mother who was only taller than his shoulders: "Mom, you are in poor health. If I leave, who will take care of you?"

"Mom knows how good she is, she knows in her heart. She can take care of herself. Mom said, Mom is waiting for you to come back."

Wang Kang lowered his head and did not respond. Zhang Kun hurriedly said, "I can stay and take care of the aunt."

As soon as Zhang Kun opened his mouth, Wang Kang shaved his eyes like a fierce wolf, looking at Zhang Kun with an indescribable ferocity in his eyes.

But at this moment, after finally seeing Wang Kang's heart relaxed, Zhang Kun naturally couldn't retreat, but his voice became a little bit smaller: "I, I am a doctor."

At this time, the old man also said, "Mom asked you again last time, will you go?"

Wang Kang slowly turned around and looked at the old man's old face. The tears still hanging on his face flowed out of his white eyes.

Wang Kang pursed his lips and hugged the old man's hands finally loosened slightly. Wang Kang took two steps back and looked at the old man's face: "Mom, wait for me, I'll be back soon."

A bright smile finally appeared on the old man's face and nodded: "Mom is waiting for you, I will definitely wait for you."

Wang Kang nodded, then turned his head, shaved Zhang Kun like Devil's sob, then strode to a motorcycle outside the yard wall, got on the bus, ignited the fire, and finally looked at the old mother, then turned off the accelerator, and the motorcycle rushed away.

Looking at the back of the motorcycle leaving quickly, Zhang Kun shouted to him: "Lingshan Firecracker Factory, at twelve o'clock..."

Looking at the figure of the motorcycle gradually fading away, Zhang Kun was not happy at all, and even felt a heavy feeling. Zhang Kun didn't know why, but he was indeed the case in his heart.

Must...come back safely!

At this time, I can only look forward to it so much.

And just as Zhang Kun was silent, a kind voice suddenly sounded next to him: "This little comrade, your surname is yours, are you Kang's comrade-in-arms?"

Zhang Kun woke up from the silence and turned to look at the side. He was only in his fifties, but his face seemed to be an old man in his seventies and eighties.

Zhang Kun didn't know what expression to face the old man, so he could only force a smile and shake his head at the old man: "Auntie, my name is Zhang Kun, but I'm not a soldier, I'm just a passing person."

Hearing Zhang Kun's words, the old man nodded thoughtfully: "Oh, I understand, keep it confidential, I must keep it confidential, I understand, the principle of confidentiality."

Listening to the old man's misunderstanding, Zhang Kun thought about it, but in the end he stopped refuting.

At this moment, the old man suddenly shook his body and his whole body fell towards the courtyard wall. Zhang Kun's face changed suddenly, and his body flashed and rushed to the old man, helping him.

"Auntie, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Kun looked at the old man's slightly pale face and said nervously.

The old man was helped by Zhang Kun and gasped for a while before his expression improved a little. Then he looked up and smiled reluctantly: "I haven't come out to walk around for a long time. I'm tired after walking a few steps just now. Just go back and sit and rest."

"Well, then I'll help you in and rest first." Zhang Kun said softly.

The old man smiled and nodded, then Zhang Kun held the old man with one hand and gently grabbed the old man's wrist that seemed to be able to expose his bones. He gently used force and slowly walked into the courtyard wall. While walking, Zhang Kun's right hand seemed to naturally press on the old man's pulse.

The old man's pulse slowly vibrated with Zhang Kun's fingers.

There was no change in Zhang Kun's face, but his heart kept sinking.

Stone vein...
