12. Forever Promise
I lay in bed for three days and my thoughts became clearer.
What are you fighting with a woman like Lan Xue?
She is rich and powerful and can buy many people to do what she wants. Why should I spend my precious time on such a woman?
Why not, I leave. Leave Nanyang County, and everything will be over!
Even if Lan Xue is not bad, she is just a passerby in my life.
Besides, I got more than 300,000 yuan from her, and my previous savings were enough to spend a while.
Before leaving Nanyang County, I took 200,000 yuan to see Xiaoyuer.
Helped her solve the housing problem.
Xiao Yuer's home is in the suburbs, with a low four-sided room. If this house had been around 20 years ago, it would have been possible to live in. But after more than 20 years, the walls made of red bricks had already weathered, especially when it was windy, the air was airtights on all sides, and the roof tiles were leaking. If it rained, the house would flow into a river.
I used 200,000 yuan to knock down the dilapidated four-room tile house and built a brand new bungalow on the original site. I also bought her air conditioning, TV and kitchen supplies.
After doing this, I left Nanyang with satisfaction.
Many people may not understand why you have to spend so much money to support a person who has no blood relationship?
Xiaoyuer is not a stranger. She is fourteen years old, cute and beautiful. She is not my relative, but better than my relatives.
Xiaoyuer is the daughter of my comrade-in-arms Lin Yifei.
I once swear to him that if he dies, her daughter will be my own daughter.
Five years ago, in a border drug-killing battle, Lin Yifei was unfortunately shot in the thigh. At that time, the criminals were extremely vicious and used the human ladder to attack our defense line one after another. He attempted to escape to the opposite country T.
The submachine gun kept firing, and the grenades emitted a deafening explosion.
The Arc Commando sent two team members to unfold the protruding positions on the left and right wings, attempting to block the enemy by using this sniping method.
However, we still miscalculated. We didn't expect that a group of enemies were ambushed in Country T and attacked us in front and back.
The balance of the battlefield quickly tilted towards the enemy. We only had 11 team members, and were attacked from both sides. But we had to face an enemy with ten times stronger troops than ours. In order to avoid greater casualties, our superiors ordered us to effectively withdraw from the dangerous areas and wait for reinforcements.
We fought hard for more than two hours, but still couldn't withdraw from the densely packed mountain valley. The reason was that the enemy and we were crisscrossing and hindering each other. The battlefield situation was too complicated. A little carelessness would lead to adverse consequences. Because the enemy used radio interference, I was unable to communicate with my comrades hiding deep in the dense forest.
The situation was extremely critical, and Lin Yifei made a suggestion. He rushed forward alone to disrupt the enemy's formation and to cover the retreat of the comrades who were rushing forward.
I disagreed at the time, because he was a moth to the flame. Another thing was that his thigh was already injured and limped.
I said in a decisive voice: "If you want to go, I will go!"
Lin Yifei was anxious and grabbed the clothes on my chest and roared loudly: "What are you kidding? You are the captain. If you are gone, wouldn't you want to kill all your comrades?"
I had no choice but to watch him leave.
He walked for more than ten meters and turned his head and grinned at me.
White teeth full of mouth.
He said the last sentence to me: "Don't forget the oath between us and take good care of Xiaoyuer!"
After Lin Yifei left, there were continuous explosions coming from the enemy.
Boom boom boom! The explosions of grenades came one after another. In the chaos, comrades broke out from the enemy's encirclement one by one.
After Lin Yifei left, he never came back. He stayed in the depths of the blood-filled dense forest forever.
Afterwards, the large army and the military and police of T Country launched a joint operation. They cleared out the dangerous area and shot dozens of gun-carrying criminals. However, when the troops cleaned the battlefield, they did not find him. We suspect that Lin Yifei died.
Later, the commando found a charred corpse in a place called Tu Huang. There was a hero pen next to the corpse.
That was Lin Yifei's pen.
For this reason, we judge that this corpse is the remains of Lin Yifei.
Lin Yifei really sacrificed!
Regardless of whether we want it or not, Lin Yifei left us forever.
After Lin Yifei's death, the troops provided generous assistance to his family.
The army comrades were surprised to find that Lin Yifei's family was poor, had a wife with leukemia, an 8-year-old daughter, and an elderly couple. His parents were in their seventies and had to work hard to support the family.
Not long after that mission, his wife passed away. For this reason, his parents found the army's chief and asked the army to stop helping them.
Lin Yifei's father said to the leader in tears: "The army is as kind as a mountain to us. Over the years, millions have been spent. This is enough! It's enough! Now that the patient is not here, we can spend our lives safely, and we will never be so worried about organizing so much!"
At the request of Lin Yifei's father, the troops had to stop helping.
In fact, part of the money for assistance comes from donations from comrades. After all, comrades are one! One day for brothers and one for life.
For that mission, we paid a bloody price and took Lin Yifei for this. We couldn't let it go for a long time. Especially, I once led people straight in and caught my opponent off guard. I paid a heavy price for my reckless behavior. The army leader thought I was not suitable to lead the troops, so he directly took my position as captain.
After two years of idle work in the army, I applied for a report, chose to transfer, and left.
After leaving the army, I did not forget my oath and sent most of the A-home expenses to Lin Yifei's daughter, Xiao Yuer, in anonymous manner, to help her complete her studies. Now Xiao Yuer is a student in a key high school and has outstanding grades, which shows that my efforts have not been in vain.
So how could I be in Nanyang urban area?
I'm not from Nanyang.
It's because of the promise that was made.
I once swore to Lin Yifei that I would take good care of Xiaoyuer.
A man is a real man, spitting and nailing!
After I left the army, I came straight to Nanyang County with my backpack.
Although I am seeking a way out, I believe that with my efforts, I can still take good care of Xiaoyuer.
During the six years I have been in Nanyang urban area, I have been working hard silently. During the day, I am a vendor setting up stalls along the streets, and at night, I write hard and write quickly. Although I don’t have much income, I am more than enough to take good care of Xiaoyuer’s family.
In the past six years, I sent Xiao Yuer's grandparents away and arranged Xiao Yuer to live in a key high school. I have paid her tuition for three years. I think I have not treated my children badly in the past few years and are worthy of my old comrade-Lin Yifei.
