Chapter 34: The Old Soldier Dying
Lijiazhuang is 30 kilometers away from Jiangcheng, the place is remote, the economy is backward, when other villages are engaged in large-scale construction, and a lot of fund-raising buildings are built to improve the housing environment, Lijiazhuang has only just started construction.
Lu Xuan entered the Lijiazhuang Village Committee in a business car, and immediately received a warm welcome from the Village Committee after expressing his intentions, and sent a young member of the Village Committee named Li Zhuang to take Lu Xuan and Qin Nianwei to find Zhao Sanwa.
When he was on the way, Li Zhuang also said some information about Zhao Sanwa, which was much more detailed than the information sent by the Lin family, such as Zhao Sanwa's son disappeared more than 50 years ago and was never found again, most of them were dead, his wife couldn't think about it, drank pesticides, and didn't rescue him, leaving Zhao Sanwa alone.
Since then, Zhao Sanwa has become silent and has never remarried, so many years have passed.
In the early years, Zhao Sanwa's body was quite tough, and it was not a problem to farm and feed herself, and she could also help the village do some work and earn some pocket money, but since Zhao Sanwa's body had some problems twenty years ago, she couldn't do it, and she could only barely take care of her own life, and she couldn't even plant the land.
can't farm land, has no income, Zhao Sanwa's savings are used up, and she can only rely on the subsistence allowance to make a living, and live with the help of her neighbors.
Lu Xuan listened to what happened to Zhao Sanwa, and he didn't feel good in his heart.
is obviously a hero who fights to the death with the invaders, why is he so lonely in his old age?
When Li Zhuang introduced, the group also came to the door of Zhao Sanwa's house.
It is said to be a home, in fact, it is a low bungalow, the house is dilapidated, the traces of repair are obvious, the door, the corner of the wall has grown a lot of weeds, the dilapidated gate has long been rusty, and there is a layer of ash on it, it can be seen that few people will come to visit the door.
In addition, Lu Xuan also noticed that most of the bungalows in this area have collapsed due to disrepair, and there are no more people living here, so Zhao Sanwa is old and the economic conditions are not good, otherwise he has to move out.
The place is almost uninhabitable.
Li Zhuang came up and pushed the door open, and Lu Xuan saw a thin old man sitting on a dilapidated rattan chair, in a daze in the courtyard full of weeds, and when he heard the sound of the door opening, he slowly turned his head around, his eyes were cloudy, and his face was yellow.
"He is Zhao Sanwa, he is old, and the house is not well tied, Mr. Lu, Miss Qin, don't be surprised."
Li Zhuang walked in with a smile, came to Zhao Sanwa's side, and said loudly: "Old Man Zhao, Mr. Lu and Miss Qin have come to see you." ”
Zhao Sanwa didn't react, and Li Zhuang smiled awkwardly, "People are old, and their ears are not good." Old man Zhao, someone has come to see you. ”
Zhao Sanwa still didn't react, but after staring at Lu Xuan for several seconds, those cloudy eyes finally had some reaction, and some light seemed to appear.
Lu ...... Brother Lu? ”
Lu Xuan looked at the old Zhao Sanwa, looking at the outline of the familiar face, and had mixed feelings in his heart.
It's really the Zhao Sanwa who rushed to the battlefield with him back then!
After so many years, the young man who resolutely stepped on the battlefield for the hatred of the country and the family and fought desperately against the invaders has become a dying and helpless old man!
Lu Xuan didn't dare to think about how Zhao Sanwa had survived so many years.
Qin Nianwei was a little surprised when she saw Zhao Sanwa's reaction, what did this person shout just now?
Brother Lu?
Is this shouting Lu Xuan?
Lu Xuan is only in his twenties, how can he let Zhao Sanwa, who is in his nineties, call him big brother?
Did she hear it wrong, or did Zhao Sanwa admit it?
Probably, it's the latter, right?
Li Zhuang saw that Zhao Sanwa was so out of shape, and hurriedly explained: "When people are old, their mental state may also have problems, and he may have remembered some other things." ”
Lu Xuan walked two quick steps to Zhao Sanwa, ignoring the unpleasant smell on Zhao Sanwa's body, grabbed his hands, and a soft force entered Zhao Sanwa's body to help him recover his vitality in his body.
He and Zhao Sanwa can be regarded as having carried a gun together, although Lu Xuan has lived for thousands of years, and ordinary people are no different from ants in his eyes, but he can't ignore these brothers who have fought side by side with him and repelled the invaders!
Zhao Sanwa grabbed Lu Xuan's hand, her expression was even more excited, her mouth kept shaking, but she couldn't say a word.
He didn't expect that after so many years, he would still be able to see Brother Lu back then.
However, because he was too excited, and he was really old, and his brain was not very good, he didn't even think about why after so many years, Lu Xuan was still so young, and he was already dying.
As Lu Xuan sent the soft power to Zhao Sanwa's body, Zhao Sanwa's mood slowly calmed down, and she also noticed that Lu Xuan's appearance had not changed at all compared with back then, and she immediately wanted to ask what was going on, but Lu Xuan's voice came from her ears.
"Xiao Zhao, I'm your big brother Lu, my identity is a bit special, don't ask more, and don't reveal my identity."
Although Zhao Sanwa was already dying, after all, she was a person who had been on the battlefield, and after getting the power conveyed by Lu Xuan, not only did her body recover a lot, but even her sanity also recovered, and she nodded slightly to Lu Xuan, indicating that she understood.
In Zhao Sanwa's heart, no matter how special Lu Xuan's identity is, he is the eldest brother who protected him on the battlefield back then.
If it weren't for Lu Xuan, he didn't know how many times he would have died on the battlefield at the beginning, where would he be today?
Zhao Sanwa showed a surprised and excited expression on her face, and Li Zhuang's face also looked better.
"Old Man Zhao, you have to thank Mr. Lu and Miss Qin, they came here this time to comfort you! Not only you, but all the veterans who participated in the Anti-Japanese War, Mr. Lu and Miss Qin will take care of them, and the lives of your old brothers have come to an end! ”
Zhao Sanwa nodded, "Yes, yes, yes, the country hasn't forgotten us, it's not forgotten." ”
Li Zhuang looked back at Lu Xuan and Qin Nianwei again, "Okay, Old Man Zhao just hasn't spoken to anyone for too long, his reaction is a little slow, and his brain is not bad yet." If there's anything you want to talk about, just talk about it. ”
Lu Xuan nodded, planning to let Qin Nianwei and Li Zhuang go out, he said a few words to Zhao Sanwa alone, but he didn't expect that there was a sudden roar of the engine outside, and then someone shouted outside.
"Old man Zhao! You old immortal! Hurry up and move Lao Tzu away today, just because of your rat, how many things have you delayed? We finally got a noble man from Lijiazhuang, and he was willing to pay for us to build a fund-raising building, what is the matter with you always being a nail here? ”
