Chapter 289 Ten miles away from Sichuan Township, no one returns

"Yuanyuan, grandpa."

Looking at Xiao Yuanyuan who was hiding behind him in fear, Tang Xiaokang patted her head and said softly.

Looking at Elder Li's face in panic, although Xiao Yuanyuan was a little scared, she still heard Tang Xiaokang's words and shouted timidly.

He responded, and when he heard Xiao Yuanyuan was willing to call him, Li Sheng was obviously very happy. Some wanted to go forward, but he scared Xiao Yuanyuan, sitting there rubbing his hands, not knowing what to do.

Seeing Xiao Yuanyuan's appearance, Tang Xiaokang couldn't help but squat down, hugged Xiao Yuanyuan and asked softly.

"Xiao Yuanyuan, are you afraid of grandpa's face?"

Hearing Tang Xiaokang's words, Xiao Yuanyuan hesitated, looked at Li Shengming, saw the old man's expression, thought for a while, then lowered her head and did not speak.

In an instant, Tang Xiaokang felt that his heart was about to melt. What a good child, he didn't want to say it out of fear that his words would hurt the old man. Li Shengming, who was on the side, could see what Xiao Yuanyuan meant, and looked at the little girl again. By then, there was a smile on his face.

This is a good girl, she knows how to take care of others.

Thinking about it, the old man couldn't help but wanted to take out his mask again. He knew his face, and he had scared so many children to cry, even his own grandson, didn't he always be scared to cry by him before? , Such a good girl, Li Shengming didn't want to scare other little girls.

"Old Li, wait a minute."

Seeing that Li Shengming wanted to put on a mask again, Tang Xiaokang hurriedly stopped him. Xiao Yuanyuan is a good boy, Tang Xiaokang knew it well, and he also knew that if he explained clearly, Xiao Yuanyuan would not be afraid.

"The little Yuanyuan, do you know how the old grandpa got the injury on his face?"

Looking up at Tang Xiaokang, Xiao Yuanyuan shook her head.

"Grandpa's injury was done to protect us. Now we can sit here and eat, and live here with peace of mind. These are all grandpa's exchange for those wounds, do you know?"

"Is grandpa a soldier?"

Listening to Tang Xiaokang's words, Xiao Yuanyuan quickly figured out something.

"That's right, Grandpa is an old soldier, a soldier who has protected the country."

"Did the old man kill devils?"

Asked again out of curiosity, now the school already has history courses, and Xiao Yuanyuan naturally knows something about that sad past, not to mention the current anti-Japanese war, there are also many people who have reflected the truth Tang Xiaokang recalled all the historical classics with Xiao Yuanyuan.

Regarding these, Xiao Yuanyuan is not a blank slate who doesn't understand anything.

"Kill the devil, kill the devil. The wound on the corner of Grandpa's mouth was pulled out by the devil. When the bullets ran out, the two of us fought with the bayonet. He stuck the tip of the knife into my face and pulled out this cut."

Before Tang Xiaokang could answer, the old man Li Shengming on the other side had already excitedly said that this was his glorious past and the pride in his heart.

"What about the devil?"

Listening to the old man's words, Xiao Yuanyuan was indeed attracted by curiosity.

"That devil's life is not good. His knife point is in my mouth, and I have a knife in his head."

It sounded like he was lucky, but the complacency in Li Shengming's tone was indeed evident.

"Grandpa's eyes were also hit by devils?"

"The eyes are not. The eyes are a matter of aiding North Korea. At that time, when fighting those soldiers, they were well equipped and could not fight from a distance. They could only form a stormtrooper. To put it bluntly, they were death squads. They rushed to fight in front of others and mixed with them. , so that other people’s planes can’t come out.”

Recalling the past, the old man's tone was a little emotional.

"At that time, Big Brother said that he would give us aircraft support, but in the end there was nothing. No one had good guns, no aircraft, no tanks, so we could only lie in wait in the snow and rush forward. It was harder than fighting the Japanese. Bitter, I rushed to the front and hit him twice before he could react. Unexpectedly, the guy was an officer and had a Browning on his waist, so he shot me in the head.

My life was good, the gun missed my eye and passed through it, but the eye was shot out, but my life was still there. "

Speaking of this, Mr. Li's tone is full of embarrassment. Now everyone's life is better, but in the past, it was the real suffering. People who suffer from it can't stand it, but if they want to live, they can only grit their teeth. Carrying it, even if the teeth are broken, they can only go into the stomach, and can't make a sound.

The whole hall was very silent. The old man talked about his glorious past. The scars all over his body are his glory, but these are the pain of the whole country. Filled out with their flesh and blood, the glory built up bit by bit with their flesh and blood.

Tang Xiaokang held Xiao Yuanyuan by the hand, feeling depressed, listening to Mr. Li Shengming tell the story of his scars, his heart was full of blood, they should not be forgotten...

"There is also the leg of grandpa. It was during the war in South Vietnam. People were shady. There were landmines planted by the river. Even if I didn't drink water, it wouldn't make you feel better. I just explained where my leg was, but I didn't expect it In the middle of the fight, I actually have to retreat because of this leg..."

The words were sobbing, and before the old man finished speaking, Xiao Yuanyuan suddenly broke free from Tang Xiaokang's hand, walked towards the old man Li Shengming, stood in front of the old man, Xiao Yuanyuan thought for a while, and hugged the old man timidly. Hug.

"Thank you grandpa."

Also speaking timidly, after doing all this, Xiao Yuanyuan bowed to the other party before returning to Tang Xiaokang's side.

It seemed that he hadn't reacted from the situation just now, and he was stunned. Looking at Xiao Yuanyuan's actions just now, Li Shengming trembled a little.

"Thank you, thank you for what, what grandpa should do... grandpa... grandpa..."

The whole person was a little overwhelmed with excitement, looking at Xiao Yuanyuan, Li Shengming kept rubbing his hands, and some wanted to stand up, his hands trembled slightly, and his voice choked up.

Standing up and slowly coming to Xiao Yuanyuan's side, Li Shengming looked at the little girl feeling a little embarrassed.

"Yes, can I hug Grandpa again?"

Without hesitation, Xiao Yuanyuan directly hugged Li Shengming who was squatting down, and hugged her for a long time.

"Good girl, good girl..."

Can't help but mutter, Li Shengming, who had never cried in his life, suddenly started crying.

This strong old man, lost his left eye, lost his right leg, he didn't have any fluctuations, but when facing Xiao Yuanyuan's hug, Li Shengming just cried like this, and the tears couldn't stop staying , crying so sad, crying so happy.

This is a man who has dedicated his life to the country, but he has never been understood by anyone, even if it is his own family or his own children...

Until now, his own grandson still dislikes him, looking at his terrifying face, he dare not approach him, 80 years, 80 years for his family and the country, he has not felt the warmth from his wife, and he has not felt the warmth in himself. The warmth felt by the family is felt in the hug of this little girl.

At this moment, Li Shengming didn't know whether his tears were sad or happy.
