Volume 2 A Thousand Faces of a Young Man Looks Like Truth Chapter 25 Accustomed to Seeing Life and Death
The stars were shining, the night sky was cloudless, the breeze was blowing across the balcony, the father and son were sitting in rocking chairs, but they didn't lie down, Eddie was not used to being so relaxed, and Huo Ru was sitting on pins and needles.
"Dad, why did you let me go on a blind date?" Huo also raised his own questions, he was arranged by his family on a blind date at a young age, and anyone would be extremely resistant, but the psychological shadow left by Eddie to Huo Ye was too serious, and Huo Ye felt Eddie's gaze at the time, so he was instantly stunned.
When Eddie was a child, he was not afraid of being injured at all, and the learning experience arranged for him was called hell-level, summed up in a simple sentence, if he didn't practice to death, he practiced to death.
Although Huo Ye said that he was in awe of Eddie, he also understood that Eddie was for his good, so he naturally had no grudge against his father.
But today's incident is really breaking through his bottom line, and Huo also feels that it is time for him to resist his father's sovereignty.
"It's okay not to fall in love, but you can't get married." Add was succinct in his words.
Huo also knows the meaning of Eddie's words, heartache is not so easy to heal, so his parents have never persuaded him in the past two years, but it is impossible for him not to get married for the rest of his life, and it is impossible for him to die alone.
But Huo also has his own insistence, "If there is no affection and only for the purpose of marriage, then this marriage will not be a failure?" ”
Eddie was silent, he is not a person who is good at reasoning, nor is he a character who can mess around, his son is right, that is right, there is no need to refute, but as a father, he feels that he still needs to persuade Huo Ye, so he asked: "Do you know what is the most important thing as the head of the regiment?" ”
Huo was also a little unresponsive, he didn't know why his father suddenly changed the subject, but he still tried to answer: "Gao Qiang's strength? ”
"Nope."
"Wise decision?"
"Wrong."
"The ability to guide people's hearts?"
"That's not right."
"Dad, can you just say it?" Huo couldn't hold it back.
Add took a deep breath, and as if he had exhaled a breath of depression in his chest, he said, "I'm used to seeing life and death. ”
Huo was also silent, he knew that what Eddie said was right, Ci was not in charge of the army, as the commander of a regiment, if he was indecisive because he couldn't bear the sacrifice of the soldiers, then when it was really critical, it would bury the lives of more soldiers, and even lead to the defeat of the war.
Dad has been the head of the regiment for so many years, and he doesn't know how many martyrs' wills and entrustments he bears, so he must have already understood this.
I haven't gotten used to life and death, and there is still a long way to go.
The haze that has plagued Huo Ye for two years seems to have suddenly shone into a ray of dawn, although the haze has not dissipated, but there is hope of seeing the light of day.
Huo Ye leaned back, lay in the recliner, looked at the starry sky, smacked his tongue, and said after a while: "Okay, go on a blind date, but I'll say it first, if I don't like it, no one wants to force me to get married." ”
"Okay." Eddie said, getting up and walking back to the apartment, their hunting group should leave for camp early tomorrow morning, and they should rest early tonight.
Huo also reached out and rubbed the cross on his chest, a little mixed. Perhaps when he was willing to put this cross away, it would be time for him to really let go.
Add went back to the last empty room in the apartment, where they were staying temporarily for the night.
Vivian is sitting on the bed reading, Huo also likes literature and is basically influenced by her, in Vivian's words, thanks to her son's personality is not like Eddie, otherwise I really don't know if there is a second woman in the world who is as good-tempered as her.
When Vivien saw Eddie return, she closed the book and asked, "He agreed?" ”
"Hmm."
"You didn't force him, did you?"
"Nope."
"Really?"
"Really!" Add was getting impatient.
Vivien smiled, "That's good. ”
This night, Huo also quietly walked out of the house and came to No. 27 Donghe Road.
He looked at the roller shutter door that had been pulled down in front of him, and without hesitation, he stepped forward and smashed it.
"Bang bang!" No one answered the door, "Old Ke, open the door." ”
"Bang Bang!!" There is still no one, "Lao Ke, you open the door for me, otherwise I will tear down your door!" ”
"Bang !!"
"Lao Ke, I'll invite you to drink, it's enough!" The roller shutter door slowly lifts up, and the door opens.
Ke Zhen opened the door, and Huo Ye, who was gloomy in face, still asked shamelessly, "Hey, where is the wine?" ”
"Get in." After Huo Ye finished speaking, he walked directly into the parking lot.
Huo Ye casually took out a blanket from the storage box and spread it on the ground, and then took out a few bottles of good wine worth thousands of dollars, as well as a bunch of appetizers, all of which he bought casually on the street just now.
Ke Zhen smacked his tongue when he saw it, this big kid is different, the storage box space is so big, and others don't have enough space to put their own equipment and consumables, this is good, so many miscellaneous things are stuffed into it casually, this new student is not the mud-legged Eddie back then, well, in the future, I must pit Eddie back from this kid!
Ke Zhen made a decision in his heart.
The two sat on the ground, Ke Zhen ripped off the chicken leg of a roast chicken, and his mouth was full of oil, and he asked while chewing the chicken: "What's the matter, suddenly thinking about looking for me to drink?" ”
"It's nothing, it's just a little bit on my mind, I don't want to talk to it, I just want to find someone to drink, my dad doesn't drink at all, and after thinking about it, the people I know around here are the most suitable for you." Huo also said.
"Hey, it's good to drink, this is a good habit that has been passed down by human beings for thousands of years."
"It's not a good habit to raise a glass to dispel sorrows, but it doesn't matter once in a while." Huo also chewed peanuts, poured a sip of wine and said.
Ke Zhen said again: "By the way, I have good news to tell you, this time, including the preliminary examination of all students except freshmen, you are the first in the college." ”
"Really? That's good. Huo also said casually, as if he didn't care about the results.
"Speaking of which, I've seen videos of you fighting before, and your leg is obviously broken, but you can still grow it, and you are another individual ability? You didn't say it before. Ke Zhen asked.
Huo Ye propped his thighs and said: "That, that's my sub-level stem cells, as long as the energy in my body is enough, I can recover from multiple injuries, but the same injury, the faster I recover, the more energy will be consumed." ”
"Your sub-level stem cells seem to be quite functional, do they have any other functions?" Ke Zhen asked.
Huo also thought for a while: "Not at the moment, but when the inspection report came out, it said that if it is used properly, it can be used as several individual abilities, and maybe a new use can be developed." ”
"Let's develop it then? You've been learning from your dad for so many years, and the way abilities work has already been qualitative, so there's no point in me teaching you that, so let's try to make your individual abilities more diverse first, which is the fastest way to improve your strength in the short term. Ke Zhen asked.
"Okay, do you have any direction?" Huo also asked, Ke Zhen must have some ideas in this regard.
Ke Zhen pondered for a few seconds and then said, "I once took a student with him, and his individual ability is that he is particularly able to eat. ”
"What kind of individual ability is this, it's just a big appetite, right?" Huo also said.
"No, you don't understand, the things he can eat are stacked up bigger than his own physique, his ability is that he can quickly digest the food he eats, and then store a lot of energy in his cells, he will sweep a large piece of food before each mission, and he will not have to eat for the next whole month, so that he can save food in the wilderness."
Ke Zhen explained, "If you can store a large amount of energy like him, then the resilience can be greatly improved, and even if you face a disaster that is stronger than you, you may be able to drag the other party to death with your resilience, and use the disaster to face the advantages of human beings to counter the disaster. ”
Huo Ye looked at Ke Zhen with a yearning look, and didn't know why a picture suddenly flashed in his mind, he and a certain ultimate body like a fool you punch, I punch, you punch, I punch, until one side can't hold the last punch, it's so weird, phew, it's too weird.
