Chapter 158
On September 230nd in the fourth year of the calendar [-], before evening, Zhang Tie brought the bodies of Gao Fei and others back to their home.

In the civilian area in the west of the city, Zhang Tie, Zhang Shun, Qiao Shan and others took Gao Fei's body to a dilapidated roof, which was Gao Fei's home.

The dilapidated eaves and old doors all indicate that Gao Fei's family lives in poverty.

Looking down at Gao Fei's body, and then at the dilapidated eaves, Zhang Tie said to Zhang Shun: "Shunzi, let me see, why don't we double the pension, people like Gao Fei Once the only seedling dies, it will be even more difficult for the wife, elders and children in the family."

"Well, let's follow the big brother's orders."

Without thinking too much, Zhang Shun agreed with Zhang Tie's statement. From the very beginning, he actually felt that the pension was too low, and a human life was only worth two taels of silver.

Qiao Shan on the side said: "My lord, I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

Zhang Tie frowned slightly and said, "You actually said that, so just say it!"

Qiao Shan cupped his hands and said, "My lord's compensation for silver is a good rule from the beginning! Now if only Gao Fei's pension is doubled, what about the other people who died in the same battle? Don't worry about being few, but about unevenness! My lord!"

Zhang Tie nodded slightly, and then said: "What you said makes sense, then let me see if I can express something new in other places!"

Looking at the old gate, Zhang Tie hesitated for a while, and finally knocked on the gate.

Boom boom boom!
There was a dull knocking sound, and after a while, a child's yelling was heard in the room.

"Who is it!"

Following the elegant inquiry, a burst of footsteps followed.

There was a creak, and the door was opened by a child. The child was about four or five years old and was wearing a red shabby coat. This child was Gao Fei's son Gao Jianli.

Looking at Zhang Tie and Zhang Shun in front of him, Gao Jianli seemed to recognize them. He shouted in surprise, turned around and ran into the house, shouting: "Grandma, grandma, the county magistrate and him My brother is here."

Because of the child's short stature and the physical obstacles of Zhang Tie and others, he did not find the corpse parked behind Zhang Tie.

An old woman staggered out from the inner room, it was Gao Fei's old mother, Gao Fei was not tall, with gray hair, and the weather-beaten face was full of wrinkles left by the years.

Compared with children, Gao Fei's mother felt something was wrong when she heard that the county magistrate and his brother were coming.

For her, the county magistrate's brother Zhang Tie had a more profound impact than the county magistrate Zhang Shun, because he was involved in the suppression of bandits, and every time Gao Mu visited Gao Fei, she knew that her son Gao Fei The one I admire the most has always been Zhang Tie.

Yesterday I learned that the soldiers in the county went out to support Yan'an County, and they came back this afternoon, but my son never came back.

Now that the county magistrate and his elder brother came together, Gao Fei's mother couldn't help but think of the ominous consequences.

And the fact is just as he suspected, his son is far away from the world.

As soon as she arrived at the door, Gao's mother found the body behind Zhang Tie, which was her son. For a while, Gao's mother only felt that the sky was about to collapse.

Although I know that it is common for soldiers to die on the battlefield, but it is still difficult for Gao Mu to accept that it happened to her son.

Before she had time to salute and greet Zhang Tie and Zhang Shun, Gao Fei's mother directly passed the three of them and came to the dead body of her son.

Stretching out her withered hands and touching her son's cold face, Gao Fei's mother wept silently. Although she was silent, it was not difficult to guess the pain in her heart.

Looking at Gao's mother who was in tears, Zhang Tie felt very guilty. No matter what, more than half of Gao Fei's death was due to his indecision and failure to give correct instructions in time.

Looking at Gao's mother whose clothes were all soaked through, Zhang Tie bowed deeply to Gao's mother, and quickly comforted him: "Old man, we are also very sorry for Gao Fei's death, and please accept your condolences."

Gao's mother is already in her fifties, and she is already very old for the poor people in this world. Not only is her hair half gray, her face is covered with wrinkles, and her body is beginning to become rickety.

"Ah."

Gao's mother sobbed a few times, wiped away the tears from her face, shifted her eyes from Gao Fei's corpse, and looked up at Zhang Tie, tears were still shining in her eyes.

"You made your lord laugh. I'm happy for him. It's a great honor for him to die for the common people. It's too late for me to be happy. Why are you crying?"

Gao Mu said she was not sad, but the tears in her eyes could not stop flowing down. A piece of flesh in her heart died. How can she say she is not sad or not? That is all to deceive herself.

Zhang Tie once again bowed deeply to Mrs. Gao, "Yes, he died fighting for the people. He is a hero. The day after tomorrow, we will erect a hero monument in the west of the city to commemorate his death for the people." Soldiers, let future generations remember their names, heroes, immortal!"

Mother Gao gently stroked Gao Fei's face, and looked lovingly at her son who always closed his eyes, "Son, did you hear that, the person you admire the most calls you a hero, and you will be happy if you have knowledge under the spring."

And at this moment, Gao Jianli came out from the house, looked at his father lying on the stretcher happily, and shouted happily: "Daddy, Daddy, you are back."

Seeing that his father didn't respond to him, Gao Jianli choked his mouth, came to Gao Fei's body unhappily, shook Gao Fei's body, and found that he couldn't shake it no matter what.

Once a person dies, his body becomes stiff and cannot be moved by Gao Jianli.

Finding that he couldn't push his father, Gao Jianli looked suspiciously at his grandmother beside him, with tears of grievance already in his eyes, "Grandma? What's wrong with Dad? Why didn't you talk to me?"

Gao's mother touched Gao Jianli's head lovingly, held back the tears in her eyes, and said warmly: "Jianli, your father is tired and needs a good rest. I will play with you later."

"Oh."

After all, Gao Jianli is a child, under the careful care of Gao Fei and his mother, he has little contact with the cruel things outside.

Otherwise, in Biancheng County, children of his age would already know what death is like.

Looking at Gao Jianli who was still beside his father, Zhang Tie couldn't help feeling guilty again, "If it wasn't for his own indecision, Gao Fei should be hugging his son and laughing loudly at this time."

Now only Gao Mu and his son Gao Jianli are left in Gao Fei's family. As for his wife, she died of illness shortly after giving birth to Gao Jianli.

"Master Zhang, hello, I heard my father often mentioned you, saying that you are the benefactor of the people in our border town, a great hero."

Just when Zhang Tie felt guilty and was thinking about something in his heart, a young voice sounded, but it was Gao Jianli who came to Zhang Tie, raised his head, and looked at him curiously.

Kneeling down and touching Gao Jianli's head, Zhang Tie said softly, "I'm not a hero, your father is."

"Jianli, how about I be your godfather?"

Gao Jianli looked at Zhang Tie suspiciously, put his finger in his mouth, and said hesitantly, "What is a godfather? Is it delicious?"

Zhang Tie shook his head, pulled away Gao Jianli's finger, and prevented it from being put into his mouth, "It's either food, or you will have another father in the future, how about it, do you want me to be your godfather?"

Gao Jianli nodded and jumped up happily, "Oh, I have a great hero as my godfather."
