Chapter Twenty-Eight: Father and Son
This is a secluded courtyard in the Military A Zone. The architecture and layout of the courtyard are full of elements of ancient Chinese culture. Facing is a semicircular arch, the two doors are tightly closed, and the vermilion lacquer on the door has lost its former honor, showing a sense of vicissitudes. When you open the gate, you will see a small circular pond with a rockery more than 1 meter high in the center of the pond made of various craggy rocks. Due to the long-term water infiltration, the rockery is covered with verdant moss; At the top of the rockery, a welcoming pine stands proudly, although it is only half a meter high, but there is a kind of momentum of coiling the dragon. There are a few lotus plants sporadically planted in the water around the rockery, the flowers have been planted but have not yet bloomed, like a cardamom girl, quite a bit of attractive style; A few goldfish swim mischievously among the flowers and in the cracks of the stones. On the left side of the yard, the owner planted a few clumps of green bamboo at random, although it is slightly sparse, but it gives people a vigorous impression. On the right, there is a small corridor, which is densely covered with creepers, adding a bit of greenery to the courtyard. Bypassing the rockery and passing through the corridor, you can see a small building. The small building has gone through a long period of time and is somewhat old, but it can still be seen that the original design is original. Two thick columns in front of the door, hollow carved window lattices, finely carved railings, and flying arches...... Although it has been thousands of years away, it still makes people feel like they are in the Ming and Qing dynasties in China, giving people a wonderful feeling of time and space changes.
The existence of this small courtyard is undoubtedly incompatible with the environment of the entire starship. On the Atlantis, where every inch of land is valuable, it is already rare to have a private space with reading power, let alone such a chic courtyard. The one who can own this small courtyard must be a high-ranking and powerful figure on the starship.
Indeed, the first owner of the small courtyard was the first captain of the Atlantis, Admiral Li Tianyou, who had Chinese ancestry. Admiral Li Tianyou was very obsessed with the ancient Chinese culture, especially architecture and garden art, and he was the object of his fascinating research. When he was appointed captain and embarked on this long journey that could never return, he only put forward one condition: to build such a small courtyard in the style of the Ming and Qing dynasties in China as his captain's residence.
Later, with the continuous replacement of captains, this small courtyard has long lost its glory and hustle and bustle, after all, not all captains have the same hobby. Therefore, the small courtyard has experienced more than ten masters, and because of its special location, its owners are all the core characters of the starship.
Looking at the familiar courtyard, Lin Feng was also full of sadness. In the past four years, he has never returned to this place where he was born and raised, everything is so familiar, everything is so unfamiliar. There is a sense of separation in the trance.
…………
Just as Lin Feng was immersed in the reminiscences of the past, a thunderous roar came from the small building: "This stinky boy, you still know to come back!" ”
Lin Feng's body was excited, he hurriedly shook his head, dispelled those chaotic thoughts, and walked quickly towards the small building.
"Come back, come back, don't even dare to enter the door, what is this? Is it because you don't have the courage you had back then, or do you not want to see me as an old man? The deafening voice still echoed in the small courtyard, and it was clear that there was a great deal of anger in it.
"Dad, you take your breath. Haven't you been talking about Xiaofeng? It's good that he's back, and the family can finally be reunited. Lin Feng whispered on the side.
"Whoever talks about him, I wish he didn't come back, so as not to get angry when I look at it." But the tone gradually softened.
Lin Feng stood in front of the door of the small building, his face changed, and he hesitated and struggled in his heart for a while before he gritted his teeth, stomped his foot violently, and said loudly: "Report, the captain of the 111th squad of the recruit brigade of the military B region, senior soldier Lin Feng has come to report!" ”
"What else do you report! It's all home, you kid won't go in yet! Lin Yue kicked out of the house, scolded in a low voice, didn't say a word, pulled Lin Feng and left.
When they came to the house, they saw a middle-aged soldier standing in the middle of the room with his back to them, tall and straight, with broad shoulders, his short gray hair standing up at the roots, and a big hand on his waist, quite a kind of majestic spirit.
Looking at this familiar back, Lin Feng's body trembled imperceptibly, and he finally suppressed the excitement in his heart and said in a low voice: "Dad, Xiaofeng...... Komine is back! ”
Lin Shaotian slowly turned around, looked carefully at Lin Feng who was standing straight in front of him, and after a long time, he sighed and said, "It's been four years, and you're finally willing to come back." If only you were willing to come back! ”
"Dad, I'm so sorry for worrying you and your mother in the past few years!" Lin Feng said gloomily.
"What are you talking about? Lao Tzu Lin Shaotian's son, you are not allowed to twist and pinch, cry and cry! Lin Shaotian returned to his true colors as a soldier, and reprimanded loudly, but he couldn't hide a smile on his serious face.
"Come, sit down. Let's have a good chat. Tell me about it, how have you spent all these years? With your physical fitness in previous years, how did you end up in the army? ”
…………
After listening to Lin Feng's story, Lin Shaotian was silent for a long time before he said: "Xiaofeng, have you been resentful of me all these years, thinking that I deliberately did not let you join the army and did not let you realize your dream since childhood?" ”
Lin Feng hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.
"You should resent me. After all, I have the conditions and the ability to help you. However, now that you have also entered the army and have a more comprehensive and profound understanding of the army, do you still resent me? ”
"I don't hate it now. With my original foundation, I couldn't adapt to high-intensity training at all, and I couldn't get a foothold in the army at all. Lin Feng replied honestly.
"If you can recognize this, it means that you have grown up and matured. If I used my power to let you join the army, it would be a disservice to you. Your mother and I don't ask you to achieve much, we just want you to live your life in peace and security, free of illness and disaster. So, we'd rather you hate us, even if it's for a lifetime, and we won't be able to fulfill your wishes. ”
"Of course, with my Lin Shaotian's temper, it is impossible for me to abuse my power for personal gain because of you. The sons of the Lin family must rely on their own efforts and abilities to achieve their own careers. Lin Shaotian's tone was quite sonorous and powerful.
"Oh, by the way, you said you were a squad leader in the recruit brigade?"
"Yes, it's the leader of Team 111." Lin Feng replied very respectfully.
"Team 111? That's a special existence for each brigade, how did you get in? Can you still be a squad leader? Lin Shaotian looked at Lin Feng with some confusion.
"I don't know. I heard that it was personally appointed by the captain Li Zhi. ”
"I know that kid Li Zhi. When he was a major, I beat him severely. Did he ...... because he knew about your relationship with me? ”
"Absolutely not, Dad. Outside, I never said that Lin Shaotian was my father. And I entered the army after a real assessment. Lin Feng immediately retorted.
"Well, that's fine. In the army, whether it is Jackie Chan or an adult, everything can only rely on yourself, and Lao Tzu will not give you any help. Did you two remember? ”
"Remember! Your Excellency the Lieutenant General! The two brothers straightened their backs and replied loudly.
"You two boys! Hahaha......"
