Siheyuan: This is really immoral

The soldier on guard saw Lin Zhuang coming towards them, stepped forward and said:

"Stop! What are you doing?"

Lin Zhuang took out the certificate that Squad Leader Wu had given him, handed it to him and said:

"It was the leader of Ye Qiang State who asked me to come here. This is the certificate he gave me."

One soldier was alert, and another soldier put away his gun and stepped forward to take the certificate from Lin Zhuang's hand, turning it over and taking a closer look.

Then he went back to the guard room and made a phone call. I could see him reporting something very quickly.

Not long after, the soldier hung up the phone and came out. After returning the certificate to Lin Zhuang, he saluted briefly but forcefully and said:

"Comrade, it's OK. Now I will check whether you have any harmful weapons, and then I will lead you in. Sorry, I am also following the rules."

Lin Zhuang was surprised to hear this, because it was normal for soldiers to guard a place like this, but it was impossible for them to conduct a thorough body search. However, he still cooperated and opened his hands and said:

"I understand. Come on."

The soldier put his gun behind his back and searched Lin Zhuang from head to toe, including the soles of his shoes... Then he asked Lin Zhuang to register on the form, and then said to Lin Zhuang:

"Comrade Lin, please! I have already reported your visit to Chief Ye. He is waiting for you in his office."

Afterwards, the soldier put the gun back into the guard room and took Lin Zhuang inside. When Lin Zhuang walked inside, he found that the layout inside was not very exquisite, but the greening was definitely in place. At first glance, you can tell that the environment is very comfortable, but if you look closely, you can find that the grass and some roads have some black and burnt colors, and there is a faint smell of gunpowder in the air. Lin Zhuang knew that the soldier would never tell him if he asked, so he could only suppress his curiosity and wait until he saw Ye Qiangguo before asking.

Soon, they arrived at an ancient little building. There were actually two soldiers inside who were on guard seriously. But it was obviously better than outside. These two soldiers obviously knew the soldier who brought Lin Zhuang in. They said in a less nervous voice:

"Please stop outside the cordon! Are you...?"

Before Lin Zhuang could speak, the soldier took a step forward and said, "This is Comrade Lin Zhuang, a guest of Chief Ye. Please verify it."

The two soldiers on guard went in immediately, and soon came out again, saying, "Verification completed, please come in!"

The two soldiers took a step to the sides of the road, apparently signaling that Linzhuang could enter. The soldier who led them in said:

"Comrade Linzhuang, you may go in now. I will continue to carry out my mission."

After saying this, the soldier turned around and trotted outside without waiting for Lin Zhuang's reply.

Lin Zhuang also knew that these soldiers were elite soldiers, and it was normal for them to act vigorously and decisively. Lin Zhuangye walked into the building. At this time, a soldier spoke up to remind him:

"Chief Ye's office is in Room 201 in the middle of the west side of the second floor."

"Thank you."

After Lin Zhuang thanked him, he wanted to go upstairs.

Along the way, he saw some documents scattered in the corners of the ground, indicating that there had been some chaos here not long ago. After Lin Zhuang found Room 201, he knocked on the door.

"come in!"

As soon as I knocked on the door, I heard a resounding reply from inside.

After Lin Zhuang opened the door and walked in, he saw a middle-aged man sitting on an office chair looking up at him. The man was wearing a simple army green shirt. Although his hair was completely white, his eyes were shining and he was full of energy. After seeing Lin Zhuang, he quickly stood up and walked towards Lin Zhuang excitedly, saying:

"Hey, you came to Beijing to work and didn't even come to see me! What, are you going to break off your relationship with your Uncle Ye?"

For some reason, Lin Zhuang recalled Ye Qiangguo's past as soon as he saw him. Looking at his hunched back, he quickly took two steps forward to support him and said,

"Uncle, how is this possible? I just came to the city and am not familiar with it yet. I am also quite nervous about my new job. So I came to visit you today..."

"Hahaha......"

Ye Qiangguo patted Lin Zhuang's shoulder, smiled heartily and said:

"You kid, if I don't take the initiative to find you, I'm afraid you won't come to me even if you encounter any difficulties, right?"

Lin Zhuang felt an inexplicable familiarity with him, thinking that it was probably a legacy from his previous incarnation. He smiled shyly and said:

"Uncle, your body...?"

"It's nothing serious. These are just hidden injuries from previous battles. If there were any problems, it would not be as simple as retreating from the front line."

At this point, Ye Qiangguo walked around Linzhuang and said, "It's been a while since we last met. You've gotten stronger. A good father will have a good son. If you had fought on the battlefield earlier, you would definitely have been a brave general like your father..."

At this point, Ye Qiangguo's somewhat hunched back became more pronounced. He walked to the stool, drank a sip of water, and then sighed and said:

"I can't mention it... Before I retired, I had a drink with your father. At that time, I said that if the country was still not peaceful, I would let you join the army. If the country was peaceful forever, I would retire early and then we could drink and chat happily in the city. I didn't expect... things in the world are unpredictable!"

When Lin Zhuang heard the old man's reminiscence, he obviously felt the sadness in his words. Thinking that he only knew that his father had died during a mission, but didn't know the reason, he couldn't help but ask:

"Uncle, how did my father...?"

"Because of some confidentiality clauses, although it is a bit cruel to you, I really won't tell you. But don't worry, what your father did will definitely be made public in the future and he will be awarded a medal. Not letting you know now is also a way to protect you."

Lin Zhuang nodded, and his heart actually felt a little aching from time to time. He didn't know if it was the original consciousness remaining in his body or something else.

Seeing Lin Zhuang's sad expression, Ye Qiangguo thought that he had touched upon Lin Zhuang's sad past, so he comforted him, "Although your father and I are superiors and subordinates, we are better than brothers. There have been many times when your father risked his life to save me."

Having said that, Ye Qiangguo's eyes became more serious and earnest. After a brief pause, he continued.

"We soldiers have long put life and death aside, and the only thing we care about is our families."
