Uncle Chen has been feeling very unwell these days.

Every morning when I get up, I feel like my body is empty, as if I have been drained of strength, and I have to slow down in bed for a while before I can barely slow down a little bit of strength.

It's also hard to fall asleep at night, and he always feels a slight buzzing sound in his ears, as if some small bug is crawling rapidly inside his body.

But Uncle Chen didn't think too much about it.

He's too old, and it's not worth making a fuss about what is wrong with his body.

He sat in the security room with his somewhat weak body propped up, gasped heavily, spread out a piece of letterhead, carried a pen, and looked out the window at the rising sun.

Uncle Chen himself can't remember how old he is.

Seventy-five? Or seventy-six?

He didn't remember much, except that he was twenty-two years older than his son.

Uncle Chen's family background is not good, he couldn't afford to take tonic medicine when he was in school, and his talent was not very good, so he was not admitted to university.

When he was younger, he also had the ambition to become a full-fledged martial artist.

However, when his qi and blood value had reached 0.97, he was only one step away from a first-level official martial artist.

At the age of twenty-two, the little one was born.

So after that, he was no longer willing to spend any penny on himself.

He poured all his energy into the little guy, watching the little guy grow from a little thing that could only hold his fingers and laugh to that high-spirited, handsome and bright young man.

It's like the rising sun, radiating a dazzling light.

looks almost exactly the same as when he was young, and anyone in the neighborhood has to give a thumbs up and praise, such a handsome young man.

His son inherited his appearance, but did not inherit his extremely poor talent, and was admitted to a top ten university in the capital.

My son is very sensible, even if he goes to college, he doesn't fish all day, he works hard, his grades are very good, and he gets a scholarship every year.

A smile involuntarily appeared on Uncle Chen's face.

During that time, it was his happiest day, his son went to a top ten university in the capital, he was extremely proud, he praised everyone he met, and his wife's face was full of smiles.

Later, when his son graduated, he told him very firmly that he was going to join the army and go to war.

He, as a father, is still selfish after all, and he doesn't want his son to go to such a dangerous place.

Although he had not personally been on the Alien Beast Battlefield, he also knew that the Alien Beast Battlefield was a meat grinder.

How many warriors died on the battlefield, their bones were gone, and even their bones were swallowed up by strange beasts.

He tried his best to persuade his son, hoping that he would change his mind.

And the son only said one word.

If the country is broken, where is the home?

This sentence silenced both him and his wife.

As a father, he still doesn't want his son to go to war.

But as a member of the Terran race, as a member of Great Xia, he and his wife finally nodded.

So, it didn't take long for the son to go to war.

The son is very filial, and even if he joined the military department, he often finds time to come home to see the two of them.

Every time he went home, he would talk to the two about the military department.

Yesterday the commander punished a few more disobedient recruits, and today he killed a few more strange beasts......

The son's originally fair skin became more and more tanned and thinner on the battlefield, and the only thing that did not change was that the eyes were getting brighter and brighter.

He talked to the two about his ideals, saying that he hoped that one day he would be able to drive all the alien beasts out of the territory of Great Xia, so that Great Xia would no longer have to face the threat of alien beasts.

He also told the two that he met a female soldier in the military department, and the two often went on missions together, chatted together, and had a good relationship.

Uncle Chen still remembers that when his son talked about the female soldier, his eyes were full of happiness

Good fortune.

At that time, he and his wife looked at each other and just smiled.

The last time my son came home, he happily told the two of them that he had performed well on the battlefield and that perhaps the next time he returned home, he would be promoted to the rank of captain.

He said with great antigence that when he was promoted to captain, he would propose to the female soldier.

Both of them are happy for their son and proud of their hearts.

The two of them have been ordinary people all their lives, and they never imagined that there would be a captain in their own family.

So the two of them waited expectantly.

Until now, Uncle Chen can't forget that day.

On that day, the sky that had been clear suddenly became cloudy.

There was a knock on their door, and he hurried to open it.

I didn't see my son standing in the doorway, with the captain's epaulette on his shoulder, smiling at him.

What I saw was several people in military uniforms, with solemn faces, holding a set of military uniforms that had been torn in their hands.

Riddled with.

On the day of his son's twenty-seventh birthday, his son returned with the rank of captain.

It was the last time he came back.

He looked back and saw that his wife in the living room had passed out.

Since then, his life has been shrouded in dark clouds.

His wife has been ill since that day, and this woman, who has been with her for many years, has not even had a cold for so many years.

However, from that day on, his wife was ill and never recovered.

Three years later, his wife died.

When she left, she still held the tattered military uniform in her arms.

Like a walking corpse, he buried his wife and lived a year in a mess.

After the death of his son, the military department sent a large pension.

This money is enough for him to live a luxurious life without worrying about food and clothing for the rest of his life.

But he didn't.

In front of his eyes, he can always see the appearance of his son.

He always seemed to be able to see his son sitting at the dining table in high spirits and his wife sitting beside him.

The son was talking to the two of them.

If the country is broken, where is the home?

So, he donated all the pension, without moving.

He's too old to go to war, and that's the only thing he can do.

He hopes that this pension will cultivate the seeds of talent for the military department.

It can protect the territory of Great Xia and protect the rivers and mountains of Great Xia.

He was afraid that the money was still not enough, so he came to Yuancheng No. 1 Middle School to work as a security guard.

Looking at this group of energetic children, he seemed to see hope.

Except for his own expenses, all the money he earns is donated without moving.

He single-handedly sponsored several college students from poor families, and the meager salary of a security guard was naturally not enough.

Even if you don't eat or drink, it's not enough.

So he went out every night to pick up waste, and he couldn't go home until the middle of the night, and when he came home, he fell asleep, and he didn't even have time to take a shower.

He was extremely stingy with his own food and clothing, and he was reluctant to eat even a piece of pastry at one time.

However, even on such a day, he lived happily.

Even though he knew that what he was doing was insignificant, he still had expectations.

At least, he is still continuing his son's unfulfilled wishes in his own way.

With a pen, the old man came back to his senses.

"Geng Yimin, how are you doing lately, is there enough food and clothing?"

The old man's handwriting was not good-looking, but he was still writing earnestly, stroke by stroke, and sometimes he would stop and think for a while before continuing to write.

It's like writing some kind of rigorous report.

These are the poor people he financed

One of the sleepy college students.

The old man wanted to ask how the students were doing, but he thought that these students would never take the initiative to reply to him, so he didn't write any more.

"This month's living expenses have been sent with a letter, I hope you can become a talent as soon as possible and serve the country on the battlefield of alien beasts."

After writing these words, the old man solemnly folded the letter, put it in the envelope, took out a wad of brand-new banknotes, and took out a few and stuffed them into the envelope.

This is the salary that was just paid yesterday.

These letters sent out every month are the most important things in his life today.

Even after all these years, he has received only a handful of replies.

He sealed the envelope, and when he looked up, he saw a familiar slender figure slowly walking under the morning sun.

"Xiao Wang? Came here so early today?"

Seeing the young man who was somewhat similar to his own son walking slowly, the old man's face was full of surprise, and he got up and wanted to go out to greet him, but when he got together, his weak body shook and almost fell to the ground.

The wind flashed beside him, and a figure had appeared beside him, supporting him.

"Xiao Wang, ...... you are?"

The old man looked surprised, not because of the terrifying strength displayed by Wang Yan who instantly crossed hundreds of meters and appeared in front of him.

It's because Wang Yan is carrying a backpack on his body, and it seems that he is going to go far away.

"Uncle, I may have to go out for a few days, and there may be no way to come to see you for the time being."

Wang Yan said to the old man with a little apology.

"Oh, what's the matter, you still have to come here and talk to me in person, it's okay, you just go......

The old man complained a few words, and told Wang Yan with concern that when he went out, he must pay attention to safety and so on.

Wang Yan smiled and agreed.

Before leaving, he handed the old man a small jade bottle, which contained a weakened version of the Qi Replenishing Pill.

This Qi Replenishing Pill is prepared with ordinary medicinal materials, without the doping of spiritual plants, it is very gentle to the human body, and can play a slight role in replenishing blood and qi.

Looking at the back of Wang Yan's departure.

The old man suddenly had an inexplicable delusion.

It was as if he had sent his son away from home for the last time to the military headquarters decades ago.

"Xiao Wang!"

He subconsciously called Wang Yan.

Wang Yan turned his head to look at him.

"You're going to ...... Will you go to war?"

The old man looked at him with some hope.

Wang Yan nodded without the slightest hesitation.

The old man smiled a little more, "Do you know which university my son went to?"

Wang Yan shook his head.

"It's the first military martial arts of Great Xia."

The old man spoke with some pride.

Wang Yan also smiled.

"It's a great school, and it's really amazing that your son can get there."

The smile on the old man's face was a little more.

He thought for a moment, leaned against the wall and came out of the security room, and took a jade pendant from his neck.

The jade pendant is not valuable, and the color is mixed.

However, the old man was cautious, as if he was holding some treasure, and handed it to Wang Yan.

"This is my son's legacy, and although it is not very valuable, it is a waste to wear it on a bad old man like me."

He looked up with some effort and looked at Wang Yan, who was a head taller than him, "You will take it."

Wang Yan smiled, took the jade pendant, and hung it around his neck.

As if relieved, the old man smiled and waved his hand vigorously at Wang Yan.

"Go, go, don't worry about me bad old man, I just haven't rested well these days, and when you come back in a few days, I'll be as alive and active as before."

Wang Yan walked out for a while, and subconsciously looked back to see that the old man was still standing outside the security room, looking at his back.

Seeing Wang Ember turn around, the old man waved vigorously at Wang Ember again.

"Uncle Chen, wait for me, I won't let you have an accident."

Wang Ember took a deep breath.
