Pay 99 yuan: create a mysterious funeral for you

Chapter 272 Why not retreat?

Longguo—Hanzhong—Jishan Town.

In a small courtyard in the north of the town, the bright red festive atmosphere with lights and decorations filled the entire Chen family's home.

At the entrance to the alley leading to the courtyard gate, the balloon-inflated Ximen stood up shakily, displaying the names of the two newlyweds clearly:
Groom Chen Tianxing

Bride Mu Xueni

The red carpet laid along the street was still rolled up and piled up on the side. Neighbors and friends who came to help out came and went, making the festive atmosphere even more intense.

"The day after tomorrow is my son's wedding, sisters, you have to help me make it lively!"

"Of course, our group of mothers have already prepared the program! We are just waiting for Tianxing's auspicious day!"

"Hahaha! That's good!"

While Chen's mother was busy decorating the wedding scene, she was also greeting neighbors and friends who came to help.

On his head, which had a few strands of white hair, there was a head cover covered with dyed ointment.

The few days before the wedding were the busiest time at home. She had almost no time to sit down and rest, as she was always running around.

I was afraid that there would be any omissions and that I would not be able to celebrate the wedding with all my heart.

"Mom, go sit in the inner room and rest for a while. It won't be too late to fix your hair first!"

At the side, Chen Tianxing, who was standing on a ladder and hanging red wedding lanterns, reminded.

"You're still worrying about me. Be careful and don't fall!"

Mother Chen looked up and glanced at him, then lowered her head to busy herself with her own things.

As the wedding is approaching, neighbors and relatives will come to help, so it’s no big deal for the host to just sit back and take a rest.

Time passed quickly as she walked back and forth in and out of the courtyard.

Soon the night swallowed up the light,

The moonlight is left on the ground, spreading into darkness and silence.

The tired mother Chen left the door ajar and then dragged herself back into the house.

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, she closed her eyes slightly.

After a while,

His eyes suddenly opened, and he felt uneasy, not just because he was seriously involved in something.

I looked up at the clock on the wall and it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

"strangeness!"

She sighed and walked towards the statue in the room.

There was a gray-white photo there. She lit a stick of incense as usual and placed it firmly in the incense burner.

As the smoke filled the air, she fiddled with the offerings and spoke slowly in a hoarse voice:
"It may be because I am too old. I can't fall asleep at this time today. I just feel uncomfortable!"

"Tianxing is asleep, and I have no one to talk to here, so I can only find you to chat with!"

"I don't know how you are doing over there. You didn't even bother to tell me in your dreams. I'll give you a detailed report on your family's daily life!"

"If you don't look for me, I'll have to look for you."

"Old man, when you left, our Tianxing was only fifteen years old, and Erxing was even younger, only ten years old!"

"It's so fast. In two days it will be Tianxing's big day. I have almost finished the arrangements. Everyone has come to help. Erxing..."

While talking to herself, Mother Chen's eyes inadvertently fell on a red box next to the statue.

He paused for a moment.

He reached out to the red box, slowly opened it, and whispered:

"Tianxing is more delicate and hesitant, while Erxing is most like you. He is assertive and decisive. He has been in the army since he was sixteen, and it has been quite a while. Last time he said he was going on a mission, he hasn't replied yet. He even couldn't make it back for Tianxing's wedding. He is just like you back then. It's hard to contact you after you join the army!"

"Everything is fine at home now. Once Tianxing's good days are over, my mission will be half done. I'm just waiting for Erxing to come back and I'll be busy with his marriage!"

The night sky gently reflects the whispers and slowly casts down peaceful moonlight.

The rough hands opened the delicate red box and revealed the glittering "Defending the Country and Guarding the Border" medal. It was as if a proud force rose from her heart, raising the corners of Chen's mother's mouth, her eyes full of pride:

"Look, Erxing brought it back last time he came to visit!"

"He said he brought it back especially for you to see, and placed it right next to your memorial tablet, just in case you couldn't see it!"

"Hehe, we are promising and can endure hardships. We are a lot thinner than in previous years, but we look very energetic!"

"I heard that the place he is guarding now is very far away. Ordinary people cannot go there! They cannot get close to it."

"The conditions are definitely more difficult, but he didn't tell me about this. I saw it on TV and heard it from others. This kid is just like you. He is really a fool who only reports good news and not bad news. Last time when he came back, he insisted on giving me his bank card and asked me to spend it. I had no choice but to accept it. The child has suffered a lot. I can't spend the child's money carelessly. I have to save it for him to get married!"

"Erxing is lively and has been a worry since he was young. But he has grown up to be the most promising one! Even a promising child should not be kept around."

"Old man, it would be great if you were still here?" Mother Chen's nose felt sore and she was speechless.

I covered my heart with one hand, feeling very uncomfortable.

The tears could not stop flowing.

"mom!"

Chen Tianxing woke up at some point and walked into the living room with some confusion:
"Why are you crying?"

"It's okay, I just miss your brother. This brat couldn't even find time to come back for your wedding. I'm mad at him!"

Mother Chen waved her hand and, with his help, sat on the sofa.

The tears are wiped away and fall again.

He pushed away the paper Tianxing handed over and said vaguely:
"What's wrong? I suddenly feel very uncomfortable!"

"Mom, you have high blood pressure, why don't we go to the hospital?"

Tianxing was a little worried.

unexpectedly,

Mother Chen waved her hand and refused, suppressing her uneasy mood:
"Don't worry about me. I think it's because you can't sleep because of insomnia. Go to bed quickly. You still have a lot of things to do tomorrow. I'll watch TV for a while and then go to sleep!"

As he spoke, he turned on the TV and watched a random TV series.

Tianxing stayed with her for a while, feeling very sleepy. After reminding her to go to bed early, he went back to the bedroom and went to sleep.

Chen's mother was left alone, turning off the lights in the living room and watching TV.

The TV series that I used to be fascinated by, but tonight, I just can’t watch it at all!

Pressing the buttons on the remote control, I kept changing the channels.

until,

Pinch to a military channel.

Her heart trembled, and the uneasy feeling reached its peak at this moment!

now,

South of Dragon Country.

The weather in the tropical rainforest climate is extremely humid and hot.

Where a stone tablet stands, it divides the two territories.

About 500 meters away from the stone tablet, a temporary tent was set up in the territory of Long Kingdom.

"Erhang, you have to keep watch tonight. The other side has been building up momentum these days, so be careful and don't be careless!"

"Yes! Don't worry, squad leader!"

Chen Erxing grinned, showing his white teeth.

He tightened the rifle behind him and walked towards the stone tablet with his military stick.

Among the forest and rocks shrouded in darkness, there were many figures like him, all guarding various points near the stele, and only the place he was guarding was closest to the front.

They were all wearing combat uniforms and weapons, their bodies were covered with sweat, and there were mosquitoes biting them all around, but they remained vigilant at all times, their eyes constantly scanning towards the dangerous places ahead.

The night is getting deeper and deeper.

The lamp in the tent became the only light in the surroundings. In the darkness, something was rapidly approaching the Dragon Kingdom on the side of the stone tablet.

It is especially peaceful under the silent night.

Many soldiers in the tent had fallen asleep.

suddenly,

A ferocious roar broke the atmosphere of the entire night:
"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!!"

"If you dare to cross the border of Dragon Country, you will be killed!!"

The night wind blew towards the camp with a slight fishy smell and a roar full of fighting intent, sweeping across the entire camp at a rapid speed! !

boom!
The squad leader woke up instantly and immediately stood up to sound the alarm:

"Everyone, get up and fight!"

"Damn it! These thieves actually dared to attack us! Get up, follow me and kill them!"

All the soldiers woke up quickly, stood up quickly as if by reflex, grabbed their weapons and rushed out of the tent!

Everyone followed the squad leader and rushed towards the stone tablet.

Looking at the dense flashlight lights in the night ahead, and smelling the bloody smell brought by the night wind, the squad leader's eyes turned red, and he realized something:
"Silly Erhang, why didn't you retreat?"
