"Old chief, you scared us to death, why don't you want to live!"

Qin Feng wiped away his tears, and finally hugged the old chief tightly, for fear that the old chief would suddenly fall down again.

The old chief obviously didn't understand the situation for a long time, and only then did he come back to his senses after a long time: "Old man, am I not dead?"

"No, old chief, you are dead, Qin Feng and I are here to accompany you. ”

"Put your mother's stinky fart, I need you to accompany me?"

The old chief kicked Hu Bing with a kick, and scolded: "Crying and crying is like a girl, get out quickly, Lao Tzu will be upset when he sees it." ”

Having said that, the old chief's eyes were full of doting, whether it was Qin Feng or Hu Bing, they were all talents he had cultivated single-handedly.

Needless to say, Qin Feng's importance to Xia is self-evident, and Hu Bing also did not disappoint him, in terms of information acquisition, Hu Bing is definitely one of the best geniuses.

If he really died, he would never allow these two people to accompany him, because these two people were too important to Xia.

"What's wrong with you, old chief, why did you become like this all of a sudden, why didn't you tell us earlier if you were sick. ”

Qin Feng wanted to be sad, the old chief silently dedicated his all to Xia, so that he suffered from cancer for more than 20 years without saying a word, he must have been worried that his treatment would affect his plans, so the old chief endured it until the cancer cells completely spread.

"It's not a serious illness, my body can't bear it. ”

The old chief patted his chest confidently and said heartily: "Do you think I'm not alive and well now?"

"No, old chief, you have something to hide from me. Qin Feng's eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and he keenly caught the flicker in the old chief's eyes.

With the character of the old chief, it is absolutely impossible to hide something in front of him.

The old chief glared at Qin Feng angrily, and said in a deep voice: "Why, I dare to refute even the old man?" I said that it was okay, but the two of you took advantage of the old man and I were sleeping to fool me, and I will find you to settle this account later." ”

Qin Feng frowned slightly, and then his brows stretched.

Because there was a sound of footsteps outside the ward, the old chief was worried about being known by others!

Hearing that the old chief had woken up, the big guys came to visit the old chief in the ward, and several old men were even more embarrassed, blaming the old chief for not treating them as friends.

Knowing that the old chief was tired, everyone left the ward to make time for the old chief to rest.

Only Qin Feng didn't leave, what he was waiting for was the time when everyone left, the old chief was hiding things from the bottom of his heart, and Qin Feng could pack a ticket.

No, as soon as the ward was quiet, the old chief let out a long sigh.

"Boy, why are you trying to save me, the old man is so old, he should be buried in the ground. ”

The old chief's words were full of sighs, which undoubtedly strengthened Qin Feng's conjecture, the old chief didn't realize that he was going to die before he blocked his consciousness and let himself fall into the self-death of consciousness.

It's that the old chief has been stimulated by something so that the old chief himself doesn't want to live.

"Then how can it be done, old chief, you still want to be a witness to my wedding, and I will give you a big fat grandson, you can't die. ”

Qin Feng comforted the old chief, he didn't rush to ask the old chief the reason, he believed that the old chief would definitely tell him when he was ready.

"The old man has lived to this age is already considered a long life, and now that Xia is the country and the people, you kid can take my place. In addition, my illness has penetrated into the bone marrow, and the old man knows that he will be at the end of his life, but he never thought that he would be rescued by you. ”

The old chief smiled self-deprecatingly, "It turns out that it's not easy to die." ”

Qin Feng didn't speak, the old chief's words were similar to his previous prediction, the old chief did know that he could not escape death, plus Xia's situation became clearer again, and at the same time, Qin Feng was able to shoulder the big responsibility, so the old chief felt that he had reached the end of his life.

But that's not the whole reason, it's only part of the story.

There is a more direct reason for the old chief to lose the desire to survive, what could be this reason?

"Boy, you've probably heard of the old man's son, right?"

"Of course I've heard of it, it should have been decades ago, it seems that I went to the battlefield with the old chief and died, and I didn't even find the body at the end?"

A hint of throbbing flashed in Qin Feng's heart, could it be that the old chief's desire to die had something to do with the old chief's son?

"To tell you the truth, old man, I have been longing, even fantasizing, imagining that my son is not dead. After all, I didn't find his body when I cleaned up the battlefield at that time, and I wondered if he had been captured by the enemy, or if he had fled somewhere else, but in my heart, I had always kept the illusion that even the whole world thought he was dead, even if even I knew that he could not still be alive. ”

And this fantasy can really comfort people, the old man has been like this all these years, and the old man even thinks that one day my son may suddenly appear in my life and surprise me. Do you understand the old man's feelings?"

The old chief's eyes were full of tears, and he had laid down half of the country for Xia in his life, and was admired by the world.

But he was not a successful father, because he let his son die on the battlefield, and in the end he could not even find the body.

This kind of self-consolation fantasy is quite normal, after all, no body was found at that time, what if there is a miracle?

"Just a few days before I became ill, I saw a report on the news that a dead man's pit had been found in the country of Vietnam, which was roughly the dead man's pit left by the battlefield that year. In the pit, I saw something that was the jade pendant that I wore on my son's body, although it was broken, but I still recognized it at a glance. ”

Speaking of this, two lines of turbid tears poured down from the old chief's eyes.

Finding a jade pendant in that dead man's pit doesn't mean that his son is really dead.

The illusion that has supported him for so many years is finally shattered, even if the old chief knew that this illusion is not valid, but when it is really shattered, the old chief still can't help but die.

It can be said that the only thing that supports this world does not exist, and the old chief naturally has no desire to survive.

If this fact had been confirmed decades ago, the old chief would still be able to live strongly, after all, Xia still needs him.

But now that Xia has a successor, the old chief thinks he can go.

After all, his heart is dead......
