On the 2nd day of September in the 234th year of the Heavenly Calendar, before the evening came, Zhang Tie returned to their home with the remains of Gao Fei and others.

In the civilian area in the west of the city, Zhang Tie, Zhang Shun Qiaoshan and others took Gao Fei's body to a dilapidated roof, which was Gao Fei's home.

The dilapidated eaves and the old gate all show that Goofy's family is very poor.

Looking down at Gao Fei's corpse, and then at the dilapidated eaves, Zhang Tie said to Zhang Shun: "Shunzi, I think, otherwise we will double this pension, and if a lone seedling like Gao Fei dies, the wife and children in the family will be even more unhappy." ”

"Well, then it's up to the eldest brother."

Without thinking too much, Zhang Shun agreed with Zhang Tie's statement, from the beginning, he actually felt that the pension was too low, and a life was only worth two taels of silver.

Qiao Shan on the side said: "Lord, I don't know if I should say something or not?" ”

Zhang Tie frowned slightly: "You actually said so, then you can say it!" ”

Qiao Shan arched his hand and said: "The lord's pension is a rule that was set at the beginning!" Now, if the high-flying pension is doubled, what about the other people who also died in battle? Don't suffer from widowhood but unevenness! Lord! ”

Zhang Tie nodded slightly, so he said: "What you said is reasonable, then I will see if I can express something new in other places!" ”

Looking at the old gate, Zhang Tie hesitated for a while, and finally knocked on the door.

Knock knock!

There was a dull knocking, and in a few moments a child's cry was heard in the room.

"Who!"

As Yaqi's inquiry sounded, a burst of footsteps followed.

There was a creak, and the door was opened by a child, about four or five years old, wearing a red shabby coat, this child was Gao Fei's son, Gao Yuanli.

Looking at Zhang Tie and Zhang Shun in front of him, Gao Yanli seemed to know the two of them, shouted in surprise, turned around and ran to the house, shouting: "Grandma, grandma, the county magistrate and his brother are here." ”

Because of the child's short stature and the physical obstacles of Zhang Tie and others, he did not find the corpse parked behind Zhang Tie.

An old woman staggered out of the inner room, it was Gao Fei's old mother, Gao Fei was not tall, with gray hair, and her weather-beaten face was engraved with wrinkles left by the years.

Compared to the child, Goofy's mother sensed that something was wrong when she heard that the prefectural magistrate and his brother were coming.

For her, compared with the county commander Zhang Shun, the influence on the county commander's brother Zhang Tie is more profound, because the bandits have his figure, and every time Gao's mother goes to visit Gao Fei, she knows that her son Gao Fei's greatest admiration has always been Zhang Tie.

Yesterday, I learned that the soldiers in the county went out to support Yan'an County, and they came back this afternoon, but his son never came back.

Now that the prefectural order and his brother have come together, Goofy's mother can't help but think of ominous consequences.

And the truth is just as he guessed, his son is far away from the world.

As soon as she arrived at the door, Gao's mother found the body behind Zhang Tie, which was her son, and for a while, Gao's mother only felt as if the sky was about to fall.

Although I know that it is common to be a soldier and die on the battlefield, it is still difficult for Gao's mother to accept that it happened to her son.

Before she had time to salute Zhang Tie and Zhang Shun, Gao Fei's mother directly crossed the three of them and came to her son's corpse.

Stretching out her withered hands and touching her son's cold face, Goofy's mother cried silently, although silent, it was not difficult to guess the pain in her heart.

Looking at Gao Mu, who was in tears, Zhang Tie felt very guilty in his heart, how to say, more than half of Gao Fei's death was caused by his indecision and failure to give the right instructions in time.

Looking at Gao's mother, whose clothes were already soaked, Zhang Tie bowed deeply to Gao's mother, and hurriedly comforted: "Old man, we also deplore Gao Fei's death, and please mourn and change." ”

Gao's mother is in her fifties, and she is already very old for the poor people in this world, not only her hair is half white, her face is also full of wrinkles, and her body is also beginning to rickets.

"Hmm."

Gao Mu sobbed a few times, wiped the tears from her face, shifted her eyes from Gao Fei's corpse, and looked up at Zhang Tie, her eyes were still flashing with tears.

"Let the adults laugh, I'm happy for him, it's a great honor for him to die on the battlefield for the people, it's too late for me to be happy, how can I cry?"

Gao's mother said that she was not sad, but the tears in her eyes couldn't stop flowing down, and a piece of meat in her heart died, how could she say that she was not sad and not sad, it was just a deception.

Zhang Tie once again bowed deeply to Gao's mother, "Yes, he died for the people, he is a hero, the day after tomorrow, we will set up a hero monument in the west of the city to commemorate the soldiers who died for the people, so that future generations will remember their names, heroes, immortal!" ”

Gao's mother gently stroked Gao Fei's face, and looked lovingly at her son, who had always closed his eyes, "Son, do you hear, the people you admire the most call you a hero, you will definitely be happy if you know under the spring." ”

At this moment, Gao Yanli walked out of the house, looked happily at his father lying on the stretcher, and shouted happily: "Daddy, daddy, you're back." ”

Seeing that his father did not respond to him, Gao gradually left his small mouth and choked, and came to Gao Fei's body unhappily, shook Gao Fei's body, and found that he couldn't shake it.

Once a person dies, his body will stiffen, and it is not a small high gradient that can be pushed.

Finding that he couldn't push his father, Gao gradually looked at his grandmother beside him suspiciously, and his eyes were already flashing with tears of grievance, "Grandma? What happened to Daddy? Why don't you talk to me? ”

Gao's mother touched Gao Yuanli's head lovingly, held back the tears in her eyes, and said softly: "Gradually, your father is tired, he needs to rest for a while, and he will play with you later." ”

"Oh."

Gao is a child after all, and under the careful care of Gao Fei and his mother, he has very little contact with the cruel things of the outside world.

Otherwise, in Border City County, children of his age already know that death is like this.

Looking at Gao Yuanli, who was still beside his father, Zhang Tie couldn't help but feel guilty again, "If it weren't for his indecision, Gao Fei would have hugged his son and laughed loudly at this time." ”

Gao Fei's family is now left with only Gao's mother and his son Gao Yuanli, and as for his wife, she died of illness shortly after giving birth to Gao Yuanli.

"Hello Lord Zhang, I heard my father often mention you, saying that you are the benefactor of the people of our border city and county, a great hero."

Just when Zhang Tie was feeling guilty and thinking about things in his heart, a childish voice sounded, but it was Gao Yanli who came to Zhang Tie, raised his head, and looked at him with curiosity.

Squatting down and touching Gao Yuanli's head, Zhang Tie said softly: "I'm not a big hero, your father is." ”

"Gradually leaving, how about I be your godfather?"

Gao Yanli looked at Zhang Tie suspiciously, put his fingers in his mouth, and said, "What is a godfather?" Is it tasty? ”

Zhang Tie shook his head, pulled away Gao Yuanli's fingers, and didn't let them put them in his mouth, "It's not to eat, it's that you'll have one more father in the future, how about it, do you want me to be your godfather?" ”

Gao Yuanli nodded and jumped up happily, "Oh, I have a big hero to be my godfather." ”
