Chapter 78: Mutual Affection
In the face of this guest's needs, the royal father naturally did not dare to slack off, especially when he didn't know what the old man was thinking in his heart.
"Dad, you're ......"
Obviously, Lu Ming, as a son, didn't know his father's true intentions.
The old man's name is actually Lu Fuguo, who was also a soldier in the early years, and later in a breakout war, in order to cover the retreat of his comrades, he fought the enemy alone. One of his own eyes was also shot and put in a desperate situation. Later, when he ran out of ammunition and food, he did not want to be captured and jumped off the cliff.
Fortunately, at the moment when Lu Fuguo had the heart of death, he escaped death because of the branches crisscrossing the cliffs.
When Lu Fuguo fell to the bottom of the mountain, he was already unconscious. Coincidentally, a pair of farmer father and daughter found the injured Lu Fuguo when they were collecting medicine in the mountains.
The old man carried Lu Fuguo home and found that he still showed signs of survival, so he began to take good care of him. When the old man's daughter saw Lu Fuguo covered in scars, she couldn't help but feel a little fearful in her heart, but spontaneously felt a sense of admiration.
Under the careful care of the farmer's father and daughter, Lu Fuguo gradually became conscious, and his body gradually recovered. It's just that the eye that was injured by the shell is no longer recoverable.
When Lu Fuguo learned the news, he was naturally grief-stricken, and even had the idea of giving up on himself.
When the old man's daughter Wang Xiaoli saw it, she felt sympathy.
At present, Wang Xiaoli knows that there is a way to cure Lu Fuguo's condition, that is, the legendary "eye care".
The so-called "eye care" is to gouge out one's own eye and replace it with the patient's injured eye. However, the risk of this operation is extremely low, and the slightest carelessness may increase the number of patients for no reason.
At that time, Wang Xiaoli knew the pros and cons of this move, but out of love for Lu Fuguo, she went to beg her father to personally perform the surgery for Lu Fuguo's eye.
The old man only has one daughter under his knees, Wang Xiaoli, and he wants to use his daughter's eyes to save a person he doesn't know, and his father is naturally strongly opposed. But Wang Xiaoli was like a demon, no matter how her father persuaded her, she was unmoved.
In the end, at the insistence of his daughter, the old man came to Lu Fuguo's side.
"Young man, your body is basically healed now. Now that's all that eye is left. ”
As soon as Lu Fuguo heard about his sore spots, he immediately grabbed the old man's sleeve and said, "Old man, please heal me for me, and I will repay you in the future." ”
"Repay, you are now like a wasted person, how can you repay?"
In fact, the old man didn't want to stimulate Lu Fuguo, but just wanted to see if the young man in front of him would have negative emotions when he encountered strong winds and waves. After all, for ordinary people, the loss of an eye is an absolute tragedy.
"Waste, old man, I don't think so. ”
The old man didn't expect Lu Fuguo to answer like this.
"Why?"
"First, I only lost one eye, not both blind, and second, I fought for honor, and even if I gave my life, I deserved to die. Why do you want to waste people?"
Lu Fuguo replied to the old man with righteous words.
At this moment, the old man believes that his daughter's choice does not seem to be wrong. In just a few words, it can already be seen that Lu Fuguo must be a person who can withstand setbacks in the future.
"Young man, in fact, I won't tell you anything, your eyes actually have a solution, but ......"
The old man wanted to continue, but Wang Xiaoli on the side shook her head and signaled her father not to say it.
Since ancient times, the old man, who is a father, naturally knows his daughter's thoughts, and then changed his words: "It's just that you have to promise me one thing." ”
Seeing that his eyes were expected to see the light of day again, Lu Fuguo was overjoyed.
"What's the matter?"
"First, you must agree to marry my daughter, and second, you must never give up on my daughter. ”
Wang Xiaoli is also a girl, and her father was naturally a little shy when he talked about this in front of Lu Fuguo, so he hurriedly ran outside the house.
After seeing his daughter leave, the old man said with Lu Fuguo open-mindedly: "Do you agree or not?"
In fact, there is also a scale in Lu Fuguo's heart.
During the time when he was in a coma, Lu Fuguo knew that there was actually a girl who was silently taking care of him. Afterward. It wasn't until Lu Fuguo woke up that he knew that it was a girl named Wang Xiaoli.
That was also the first time, Lu Fuguo knew what love at first sight was in those years of artillery fire. It's just that at that time, he also knew that he was still a person who had lost an eye, how could he delay other girls. It's just that what he didn't expect was that now, the girl's father would make such a request.
Lu Fuguo was really surprised and delighted at that time.
Seeing that Lu Fuguo was silent all the time, the old man asked a little angrily: "What, isn't my daughter still worthy of you?" Regarding the issue of restoring your eyes, I hope you can think clearly. ”
In fact, the old man hoped that Lu Fuguo would shake his head from the bottom of his heart, because Wang Xiaoli's mother died early, and he single-handedly dragged his daughter to grow up, so he was naturally unwilling to sacrifice such a huge price for a stranger.
"Old man, I do. ”
The old man "chuckled" in his heart, he did not speak, but got up and walked outside the house.
"Old Man's ......"
Lu Fuguo saw the old man walk out, and he didn't know what was going on for a while, so he asked a little hurriedly.
"Don't worry, I'll help you heal tomorrow. ”
"Then thank you, old man!"
The old man did not reply, but walked to his daughter's side. Seeing Wang Xiaoli's shy appearance, the old man knew that his daughter must have heard it all outside the house.
"Daughter, have you really figured it out?"
At this moment, how the old man wished he could hear a "no", but his daughter's reply dashed his last bit of "hope".
"Think it through, Dad!"
Wang Xiaoli's reply was succinct and crisp.
The old man was silent, turned his back, and walked into his room.
After dinner, the old man said to Lu Fuguo: "You drink this bowl of medicine first." ”
Lu Fuguo followed the old man's instructions and drank it all. Then he lay on the bed, like a dead man.
After that, the old man said to Wang Xiaoli: "Daughter, you can drink it too!"
Wang Xiaoli saw her father's old tears, but when she thought of the admiring Du Fuguo, she still drank it in one gulp.
The old man looked at the two people in front of him, and a sad feeling arose in his heart.
