Chapter 2 Out of the Mountain
Lin Er silently looked at the certificate of meritorious service left by her father, her eyes full of water. He finally knew that his father was a mighty soldier, but he didn't understand why his grandfather didn't let him know all this?
The old man turned his head and looked at Wan Lin with deep eyes and said, "Lin'er, your father left thirteen years ago. Why did he leave? I have never said that, I will tell you all today."
The old man's eyes turned to the lush mountain in the distance: "Our family has lived in this mountain forest for more than 300 years, and no one has ever walked out of this mountain. Because his ancestors had a lesson: they have been practicing martial arts for generations, and they are not allowed to go out of the mountain to join the army, and they cannot hurt people with martial arts. It is said that it was because our family's martial arts tricks caused death. After our ancestors joined the army with peerless martial arts, they made countless military achievements, but were framed because of their outstanding achievements and high positions, which almost led to the tragic disaster of family destruction. They walked into this mountain to avoid disasters. From then on, the ancestors specially set rules that they would not go out of the mountain or join the army for generations."
Grandpa lit a bag of cigarettes and took a sip, slowly telling what happened at that time.
Wan Lin's mother is a very beautiful Li girl. She gave birth to Lin'er a year after marrying Lin'er's father.
On the morning of Wan Lin's second birthday, Wan Lin's father Wan Ming smiled and said to his father early in the morning: "Today your grandson celebrates his birthday, I will go into the mountain to hunt a leopard. Let's eat leopard meat tonight. Let your grandson grow up as strong as a leopard." Then he took a bow and arrow and a waist knife and entered the mountain.
Wan Lin's mother also walked out of the kitchen and carried a bamboo basket on her back and said she wanted to go to the mountains to pick some fresh mushrooms. But in the afternoon, Wan Ming came back with a leopard, but Lin'er's mother did not come back.
Wan Ming said to his father: "I've been out for so long, I'll go out to look for it." Two or three hours later, he came back with his broken wife with red eyes.
Wan Lin's grandfather hurried over and asked, "What's going on?" Wan Ming said with anger in his eyes, "Lin'er's mother was ruined by the beast." After that, he ran to the mountain opposite with his wife's body in his arms and buried her.
After returning, Wan Ming ran out without saying a word, holding a bow and arrow and a scimitar. He went there for three days without any news.
On the morning of the third day, the old man opened the door and saw a bamboo basket at the door where he had never seen a little leopard who had been born a few days ago and a letter. The old man opened the letter and saw it: Dad, I'm leaving. I've killed several beasts that harmed Lin'er's mother. It is said that these beasts have accomplices. I must kill them all, otherwise I will have no shame to come back to see you and Lin'er.
After telling all this, the old man looked up at Wan Lin and said, "I have never seen him again since then. After so many years, I have not told you about their things because I am afraid that you will not be able to control yourself when you hear these sad things and will affect your practice. Now that you have grown up and have practiced almost all your skills, it is time for you to know this."
Colonel Li followed his grandfather's words and said: "That day, we obtained information. A foreign drug trafficking group would escort a batch of drugs and arms smuggled into the country from abroad. Due to repeated attacks by our border armed police, these criminals hired several bodyguards from the very famous "Flying Fox Mercenaries" in Southeast Asia at high prices. The police in Y Province lost more than a dozen armed police soldiers in the subsequent encirclements and suppressions. For this reason, the border armed police specially requested support from our military region, so I led eight members of the special forces team to ambush halfway up the mountain where the criminals must pass through the valley, preparing to completely eliminate these desperadoes."
"Just as we were about to launch an attack, we heard only a few bowstrings, and five mercenaries following the transport team with guns had already fallen down. Then we saw a meteor-like figure flying up from the grass in the valley. He swung his hands, and three mercenaries who had just turned their guns fell down again. As the figure landed, we only heard a few screams. We were all shocked at that time. I have been in the special forces for more than ten years and are familiar with various martial arts in the world, but I have never seen such quick and neat kung fu. In an instant, eight flying fox mercenaries and ten armed traffickers composed of veterans of special forces from various countries."
"When we rushed to the scene with yelling 'Chinese soldiers', your father's eyes were red, and he stared blankly at the eighteen gangsters on the ground motionless. Among the eight mercenaries, five were shot in the neck, and three were inlaid with a piece of gravel between their eyebrows. The other ten armed escorts were killed with one knife on the neck. The whole process was less than twenty seconds before and after, so the mercenaries didn't even have time to release a single shot."
"Afterwards, your father told me what had happened before and asked to join the army to kill all the beasts. But he was afraid that your grandfather would use his ancestral teachings to stop him from joining the army, so he went to the mountains alone that night to pick up a newborn animal as your two-year-old birthday gift, and delivered it to the house with a letter written to his grandfather, and walked out of the mountains with us overnight."
"After arriving at the army, I reported your father's situation directly to Minister Zhong, the military region's operations department at that time. Minister Zhong immediately met your father and asked five special forces members to fight with your father. In just a moment, all five special forces members were knocked down. Minister Zhong was also deeply shocked after seeing it, and immediately reported to the military region commander, and specially recruited your father to join the special forces brigade. At the same time, your father was appointed as the special forces brigade martial instructor and directly awarded the rank of lieutenant."
"After that, the brigade arranged for several instructors to train your father in a variety of modern special combat skills such as weapon use, various vehicle driving, and outdoor survival, and directly entered the Second Squadron to perform tasks after half a year."
"During multiple missions, your father's outstanding combat skills and brave combat style, he won many personal commendations and collective honors. He was soon promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel, deputy captain of special operations, and chief instructor of the brigade martial arts."
"In the latest operation to rescue the kidnapped hostages, we fought fiercely with terrorist organizations abroad. After we rushed into the enemy's nest together, your father killed more than ten enemies alone, a dying bandit suddenly detonated a grenade. Your father was seriously injured in order to protect his comrades and threw his body to the surrounding comrades. Before his sacrifice, let me give these to you and tell my father that he did not embarrass the Wan family, and hoped that Wan Lin could take over his rank and continue to use the ancestral skills of Wan family to eliminate harm to the country and serve the motherland."
Colonel Li said all this with tears on his face, turned his face to his grandfather and said, "Before coming, General Zhong Hanrui, the current commander of the military region, and Major General Gao Li, the Minister of the Military Region Operations Department, specially asked me to convey their condolences and greetings to the old man: I am proud of you having such an outstanding son, and call him the pride of Chinese soldiers. On behalf of them, I salute you the old soldiers of the Republic!" After that, I stood up and saluted the old man with a majestic military salute.
The old man quickly grabbed Colonel Li's hand, his eyes flashed, and said to Wan Lin: "Lin'er, you have heard of this. You have learned about our Wan family's kung fu. You can decide whether to come out for the first time." After that, he slowly walked into the house.
After hearing all this, Wan Lin seemed to be awakened from his dream. His eyes disappeared from his original childishness and became deep and solemn: "Uncle, what should I do if I leave grandpa?" Li Dongsheng replied: "I came this time to pick you up to the provincial capital. The former Minister Zhong is now the commander of the military region. He said: No matter whether you agree to join the army or not, you must take you away. Your father is a hero who sacrificed for the country. We cannot leave the hero's family helpless."
"Okay, grandpa, then I'll go." After Wan Lin said that, he turned around and walked into the house. He walked into the house and found that grandpa was silently packing his clothes. "Grandpa, are we going?" Wan Lin asked grandpa. The old man turned around, and had a look of kindness that had never been before in his eyes. He stroked Wan Lin's head and replied: "Lin'er, you are old, grandpa can't live with you for the rest of your life."
As he said that, the old man pulled Wan Lin to his side: "Grandpa is old and can't live the noisy life in the city. Go and don't embarrass the Wan family. Come back to see grandpa if you have time." When Wan Lin heard grandpa say he wouldn't go to the city, his face flushed with anxiety and shouted loudly: "If you don't go, I won't go anywhere. How can I leave you alone at home!"
