As the night progressed, Yang Ling asked Sun Yirui to go back to his room to sleep, while he moved a chair and sat in front of his grandfather's bed, looking at the old face full of ravines, and unknowingly burst into tears.
"You brat, grandpa is in good health, why are you crying!"
Pang Peichen didn't know when he woke up, stretched out his rough hand, wiped the tears on Yang Ling's face, and said with a smile.
"Grandpa, you have suffered."
At this moment, this legendary King of Soldiers who had always upheld the principle of never shedding tears as a soldier, this Dragon King of China who had frightened the dark forces abroad, was choked with sobs and almost choked with tears.
After a long time, Yang Ling calmed down and said to Pang Peichen: "Grandpa, I have retired from the army and will not leave from now on. I am going to find a job, so let's go to the hospital tomorrow..."
"Retired?!"
After Pang Peichen heard Yang Ling's words of "not leaving", he was not in the mood to listen to the following words. He looked surprised and said: "You are not yet old enough to retire. How could you retire?"
Then, the old man seemed to have thought of something, and said angrily: "Xiao Ling, you are not going to join the army because of the old man! I tell you, if that were really the case, I, Pang Peichen, would not have a grandson like you!
"
"Grandpa, you misunderstood, I have really retired." Seeing the old man showing signs of anger, Yang Ling immediately explained.
"Why did you retire? You should be pretty good at it. How could you just say you are retiring?" The old man still couldn't believe it.
After all, he is a veteran who has participated in the war. Although he is old now, his eyes are still sharp. How can he not see Yang Ling's strength?
"I was injured and could no longer stay in "that" army. In order not to cause trouble to the country, I applied for retirement." Yang Ling said directly without any thought.
He had already thought about this reason on the way home, because he knew that only in this way could the old man feel at ease. And in order to make me not doubt, he also deliberately emphasized the word "that". He believed that by virtue of
With my experience, I can definitely understand what it means.
"Injured? Where is the injury? Is it serious?"
After the old man heard Yang Ling's words, although he suppressed his anger, he became worried again.
For him, although he is a soldier of the older generation and although he puts the country first in everything he does, when it comes to his children, the country is put behind him.
"The injury was on the back, but it's almost healed now. It's just that I can no longer perform difficult tasks." Seeing the nervous expression on the old man's face, Yang Ling felt a twinge of warmth in his heart, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little agitated.
Guilt.
But now, since the deal is done, he can only use other ways to make up for this guilt.
"Oh, that's good, that's good."
Pang Peichen, who naturally understood the meaning of Yang Ling's words, sighed slightly and continued: "It doesn't matter if you come back, you are now old enough and it's time to find someone to get married to!"
The old man's mentality was tempered on the battlefield decades ago. Now, although his beloved grandson can no longer serve the country, it is a blessing in disguise. At least he does not have to worry every day that he will be killed somewhere.
Tian received Yang Ling's death notice.
"Grandpa, shouldn't you find a job first? As for getting married...Grandpa, we can't rush this!" Yang Ling breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the old man did not continue to pester him about his retirement.
"Silly boy, what are you talking about? The work is not urgent. Grandpa still has money in his hands. You, please bring my grandson's wife back to me first!" Pang Peichen knocked Yang Ling on the head and said.
"No, you have to have a job, otherwise no girl would be willing to fall in love with an unemployed vagrant!" Yang Ling argued with a smile.
"Well, what you said makes sense. Let's go find a job tomorrow and try to get married within three months!"
"ah?"
…
III Group.
Yang Ling, who had been driven out of the house by the old man early in the morning, looked at the impressive building in front of him, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and then walked towards it.
Finding a job is not the most urgent thing for him right now. He has other things that are more important than this.
He clearly remembered what Yu Hong, who had blocked the bullet for him, said when he was dying in his arms during that bloody battle, "Dragon King, please do me one last favor. The photo of my sister I carried with me was
Those people took her away, and I was worried that they would hurt her. Promise me and help me protect her."
He did not hesitate and nodded heavily.
This is his promise to his brother and a man's promise.
However, after a year, I hope she is safe and sound.
If she had any shortcomings, how could Yang Ling be worthy of her dead comrades and dead brothers?
Of course, another more important thing is that he wants to find out the reason why the mission failed that year and who betrayed them.
"Stop, what are you doing!"
Just when Yang Ling was secretly making up his mind, a figure suddenly stood in front of him and asked with a vigilant look.
"Uh..." Yang Ling was stunned, looked at the security guard in front of him, and said with a smile: "Oh, I'm here to apply for a bodyguard job."
Hearing this, security guard Li Jin glanced sideways at Yang Ling. Looking at the latter's cheap faded camouflage uniform, he said without concealing his disdain: "Just you? Applying for a bodyguard job?"
After he finished speaking, he muttered: "I'm still applying for the job of moving bricks!"
Yang Ling's six senses were so sharp that he naturally heard that muttering. However, in this era where poverty was laughed at but prostitution was not laughed at, although he was quite helpless, he did not think about making things difficult for a security guard. He just asked again: "Um,
Can I go in?"
"Go in? Are you kidding me? You're like you. You can tell at a glance that you want to come inside the building to enjoy the air conditioning! Get out of here!" Li Jin waved his hand casually and said with a look of boredom.
"Yeah?"
Even though Yang Ling had a good temper, he was still a little angry. He slightly released a hint of murderous intent, looked at Li Jin with narrowed eyes and asked.
"I said you..." Li Jin subconsciously retorted, but the next moment, when he saw Yang Ling's eyes, he suddenly couldn't say a word!
At this moment, he suddenly felt his scalp suddenly numb, and his body involuntarily took a few steps back!
He didn't know why, but just now, he suddenly felt that the plain-looking guy in front of him was actually like a peerless sword sealed in a scabbard. Once it was taken out of the scabbard, there would be corpses everywhere and rivers of blood!
"Now, can I go in?" Seeing Li Jin's demeanor, Yang Ling also put down his momentum and continued to ask with a smile.
Only then did Li Jin come back to his senses. He didn't even bother to wipe the cold sweat off his face, and said quickly: "Okay, okay! I'll take you in now!"
