"It's been more than three years! How come I've never seen you here! Looking at the old man with tears in front of him, Jiang Yan asked the doubts he had always had in his heart.

Lao Wang, a man who has implemented the words "serving the people" in his bones, and an armed police officer who has done his duty wholeheartedly. Sacrifice for the sake of saving people, for the sake of carrying out the mission.

He is glorious, he is great, he should be remembered, he should be praised. But, none of that. What Jiang Yan has seen in the past few years is a lonely grave, a tombstone covered with dust every time he comes to see him.

He never understood why none of Lao Wang's relatives had ever come after so many years? Why didn't he even have the opportunity to help Lao Wang take care of his old mother.

"I came here after I heard the news three years ago" Looking at Jiang Yan and looking at the image of his son Yingwu on the tombstone, the old man choked up and said.

"Then why haven't I ever seen you?" Three years? You've been here for three years, how could I never see you?

"I only got there three months ago!" The old man finally couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes and let them fall on his face.

Hearing the old man's words, Jiang Yan was stunned.

Three years, you came three years ago, you only came three months ago? How did you get here?

"How did you get here?" Jiang Yan asked uncertainly.

"I don't have any money, so I can't scrape together Luffy, so I saved some food by picking up waste along the way, and walked step by step." The old man said very plainly, but the short words set off a storm in Jiang Yan's heart.

Walking? From Hunan to the capital, thousands of miles away. You actually came one step at a time?

"What about the pension after the sacrifice of the old king? How could you not have Luffy? Jiang Yan asked with a sad heart.

"Pension? Nope! I've never seen it before! The old man's face was dazed, but Jiang Yan was angry in his heart.

Haven't seen it?

Jiang Yan naturally would not think that the old man was lying and deceiving himself, and the martyrs' pensions would definitely be issued, and the country would not let the heroes die in vain. So since the pension is issued according to the regulations, but it does not reach the hands of the elderly, why did this money disappear and still need to be asked?

At this moment, Jiang Yan's heart was filled with anger, I grass your mother-you still have no humanity? That's the money that Lao Wang got in exchange for his life!

Open your eyes and look at this old man in front of you, the son who depended on each other for his life died, and he didn't get a pension, and he didn't even know that there was such a thing. In order to take a look at his son, he walked all the way to the capital step by step. Three years! In order to get here, the old man picked up waste all the way to exchange things, how much suffering he would have to endure along the way!

"What the hell is going on, you tell me in detail, I want to see who is doing it!" Jiang Yan was going to figure out what was going on before making the next step.

"Three years, four months and seven days ago, I dug up some wild vegetables from the field and came home to eat. As soon as I entered the village, I saw a lot of people gathered in front of my house. The old man's tone was very calm, but Jiang Yan felt a little distressed when he heard it.

Three years, four months and seven days, such a specific time, it is conceivable that the old man has counted the days over the years. She was able to persist here, I'm afraid it was all because of a belief that she wanted to see her son!

Jiang Yan nodded and motioned for the old man to continue, and the old man's old voice gradually trembled: "Seeing those people, I suddenly had a bad premonition in my heart. When I walked over, a person who looked like a cadre asked me for my identity and told me that Tiezhu was gone! At the same time, a military medal was handed over to me. ”

"The moment I heard his words, I felt like the sky was falling! I didn't hear what he said afterwards, and numbly took the military medal that belonged to the iron pillar. Then I felt like the voices were getting farther and farther away, and after that, I didn't know anything! Jiang Yan knew that the old man should have been in a coma due to excessive grief at that time!

"By the time I woke up again, I was already in the hospital! When I woke up, I had only one thought in my heart, which was to go to the place where the iron pillar was buried to see him, but the hospital said that I was not stable and would not let me be discharged. ”

"Spent six or seven days in the hospital! The doctor examined me and finally agreed to let me go. But when I paid the money, I realized that it was so expensive to stay in the hospital for a day, and I was not willing to spend the money that the child sent me back in the past few years, and I saved it for him to marry his daughter-in-law. Who knew that if he didn't marry a daughter-in-law, he would have to go to the hospital! From the old man's words, Jiang Yan heard helplessness and sadness.

"When I heard about so much money, I was in a hurry! I gave them all the money, how can I come to the capital to see my iron pillars! Then I begged them to kneel down to them. Let them just leave me a few hundred, and let me go to the capital to see the iron pillar once, and I can come back to be a cow and a horse to repay them! As he spoke, tears welled up in the old man's eyes again.

"But, no! They won't let me be discharged if I don't pay the money! When he said this, the old man had a touch of despair on his face, "I gave all the money to the hospital, and I don't have the money to take a car to the capital to see the iron pillar!" When I returned to the village, I wanted to borrow money from the village chief, but there was no place to use the money on weekdays in our place, and the village chief's family couldn't come with the money that I could come. ”

Speaking of this, the old man's tone was a little angry: "Later, the village chief paid me a note and asked me to go to the township. He said that my iron pillar was sacrificed for the country, and that I would definitely be given the money to go out of his country when I went to see him. But when I arrived in the township, I couldn't enter the compound, and I met the leader at the door who had come to deliver a letter to me. When he heard that I was here to ask for money, he blasted me out before I could finish speaking. ”

"I knelt at the door and begged him, and he found someone to carry me away. I know I can't scrape together the money to come to the capital, but I also have to come and see my iron pillar! Otherwise, how can I be worthy of his father who left early, and I can't close my eyes if I don't look at the iron pillar and the old woman dies! At this point, the old man could not stop crying.

"There's no way, there's no money, I'm going to go to the capital when I go. I asked someone for the direction of the capital, and I came out with all the food at home. I thought I would be able to get there in ten days and eight days, but who knew that the capital was so far away! Along the way, I asked for directions and went in the wrong direction several times. When I didn't have anything to eat, I would pick up scrap and sell it for money, and at night I would find a place to shelter from the wind and rain and go to sleep. It's been three years, and I didn't even think I'd be able to get here. ”

Saying that, a smile appeared on the old man's face: "When I arrived in the capital, I asked people one by one where my iron pillar was buried, and I found it here." Then I stayed in this neighborhood, and I came here every day to look for it, and finally found the grave of my family's iron pillar ten days ago. ”

As he spoke, the old man pointed to the photo on the tombstone and said, "Look at the iron pillar of my family, how strong this military uniform is!" I don't know how many little girls I can charm. You say, this is such a good person, how can he just leave! ”

Looking at the old man in front of him who was crying and laughing, Jiang Yan had countless complex emotions mixed together. Guilt, distress, sympathy, anger

After listening to the old man's words, Jiang Yan understood that the state would never withhold Lao Wang's pension, and the problem must be in the hands of someone below.

"Don't worry, this matter won't end like this, I will definitely help you get back Lao Wang's pension, we can't let the money that Lao Wang exchanged for his life feed those unconscionable dogs and beasts. You go back with me first, I have a lifelong friendship with Lao Wang, I can't watch you suffer with it! He is gone, I will be your son in the future, you will be my mother, and I will raise you! After the old man finished speaking, Jiang Yan said.

"This" old man hesitated in the game.

"You don't have to be polite to me, if it weren't for Lao Wang, I wouldn't be alive today. Now that Lao Wang is gone, if I watch you suffer alone, am I still a person? What's more, you can't bear to feel at ease when Lao Wang is over there and watching you suffer? Seeing the old man's hesitation, Jiang Yan continued.

"That's alright!" The old man looked at his son's tombstone, then at Jiang Yan, and then nodded.

stayed in front of Lao Wang's tomb for a while, and after the old man talked to Lao Wang, Jiang Yan drove the old man away and returned to his rental house. It just so happens that the landlord and aunt are not there these days, so you can let her live there first, and she will live at the landlord's aunt's house for a few days.

When he got home, Jiang Yan posted a Weibo again.

He wants to apologize for his previous words and for his previous misunderstanding of Lao Wang. He really didn't know, if he had known that the old man was Lao Wang's mother, he wouldn't have posted that Weibo if he was killed.

"I don't know if everyone is interested in listening to Jiang Yan tell a story.

He was an armed police officer, and he rushed to the front line every time he encountered danger. He gave 37 lives in his life, one of which was Jiang Yan.

In another dangerous mission, he should have died at the forefront of the rush. For the heroes, for the martyrs, our country will never let them shed blood and tears. But the huge amount of pension disappeared before it could be handed over to his only relative, his sixty-year-old mother!

She didn't know she had a pension, she fell into a coma when she heard the bad news about her son, and the hospital spent all her savings. As a martyr's relative, when she wanted to apply for a few hundred yuan for travel expenses to see her son, she was turned away by some people who got in the way.

She is uneducated and does not understand these things. But she has her own beliefs, even if she walks, she has to take a look at her son. To do this, she left the house with all the food in the house. Thousands of miles away, she walked step by step. During this period, she walked a lot of wrong roads, and in order to survive, she made a living by picking up waste, but he never gave up on the road. That's three years.

That's right, she is the old man Jiang Yan said last night. Here Jiang Yan wants to apologize, without in-depth understanding, Jiang Yan put all the blame on her son.

Now Jiang Yan knows, it's not that he is not filial, it's not that he doesn't feel sorry for his mother. But he couldn't, he was lying in that one-square-meter dark space, watching his mother suffer and suffer, but he couldn't do anything but feel heartache!

I don't know why a martyr's relatives have to go through so much in order to see their son lying in the grave, and I don't know who is doing it. But I know that I will definitely investigate to the end, find out this moth, and give the hero justice! ”
