Chapter 308 Iron Bone Zheng Zheng!
Chen Kang is sitting in his yard basking in the sun. Since his legs and knees were amputated, basking in the sun is almost his only leisure activity.
After nearly ten years as a soldier, he returned home with a broken body. The once heroic young man was permanently fixed in a wheelchair and could no longer stand up. This situation was a huge blow to Chen Kang.
He used to be the pride of the village. From childhood to his age, he has always been a model used by other parents to educate his children. Especially on the day when he put on his military uniform and carried the big red flowers, the envious and encouraging eyes of his neighbors have always been engraved in his heart. Whenever he goes home for a vacation, the villagers will sincerely praise him. Such a good young man really gives face to Lao Chen's parents. The two sisters have married, and his parents are only one son. Chen Kang knows that he must work hard to keep the smile on his old father's face.
However, people are not as good as God. No one expected such a big change that day.
When Chen Kang, who carried so many expectations, came home one day, it was not the gentle eyes of the villagers that greeted him, but countless whispers. After so many years as a soldier, not only did he not mention it, but his legs were amputated, and even the government did not give an explanation. People speculated whether Chen Kang made a mistake and was kicked out by the army. There are cold-eyed bystanders, some people holding their breasts to watch the play, and many Chen Kang's peers will quietly talk behind their backs: "Look, what's the use of being a soldier for so many years? What's the use of such scenery back then? Not a disabled person yet? I don't even have legs, and I can't walk by myself!"
Chen Kang completely ignored these comments. He knew that they would not understand the glorious years he had experienced, and they did not need to understand. As a soldier, he had successfully completed the task. Although he occasionally felt chilled when he remembered that day, he dreamed of the war-filled area at midnight. Chen Kang will be relieved in the battlefield of smoke. Those shining and brilliant memories, those war smoke that died with the wind, those bright steel guns, and those resolute faces should be kept in his heart.
No one knows that this seemingly dull-faced black-faced man, a disabled man who can never stand up, was once the best special forces in the army of the Republic of China.
Among those who talked about degrading Chen Kang behind their backs, no one knew that this man once went deep into the enemy's base camp alone and cut through the throats of 127 sleeping enemies with just a dagger!
But fortunately, compared with those comrades-in-arms who have left the world forever, Chen Kang has felt very happy. When the enemy covered the dragon scale troops on a large area of fire for the second time, Chen Kang had his legs broken by shells, and his calves below his kneecap were blown into the sky. Fortunately, this guy, nicknamed Dumas, at a critical moment, carried such a dying disabled man, carrying an 80kg and a 40kg field load, passed through the heavy encirclement and walked in the mountains of Yunnan for three days before sending Chen Kang to the nearest clinic. At that time, Chen Kang, who was treated simply, had already lost too much blood and fainted for a long time.
Later, Chen Kang was sent back to Qing'an's hometown to recuperate. However, the happy thing is that Chen Kang's early married wife still does not abandon him after so many years of being alone in the empty room. She takes good care of him every day without a word of complaint. This also made Chen Kang feel a little sorry for his wife, but now he can only express his warmth to his wife with his eyes.
The fame will come once in a while, chat with Chen Kang, and then leave a little money. In the eyes of these two men, their brothers in this world are probably the only ones left.
Last time, several children shouted disabled to Chen Kang from afar and were beaten by chance to come to visit him. Chen Kang said he didn't care, but his heart was a little bitter, but who could say all this to?
"Hey, on such a hot day, you are still basking in the sun here. What should you do if you get heatstroke?" At this time, a woman in a floral cloth coat came in from the door of the courtyard. Her skin was dark, but her eyes were bright and her body was a little earthy. It seemed that she had just returned from the field.
"It's okay." Chen Kang always said little. When he saw his daughter-in-law come in, he handed over a bowl of cold boiled water beside him and said, "Reliev your thirst."
"You can sit down. I can do these jobs myself, okay?" Seeing that Chen Kang had cooled himself with boiled water for a long time, a trace of warmth flashed in the woman's heart, but she blamed her for worrying.
"It's not a matter to always sit like this." Chen Kang sighed.
"This..." The woman was silent and didn't know what to say.
"Let's go, I'll push you under the tree at the door to enjoy the cool." The woman pushed Chen Kang's wheelchair out.
"Hua Hong, it's hard for you." Chen Kang stretched out his left hand and gently put it on the back of his wife's hand.
Chen Kang, who has always been not good at expressing himself, suddenly came here, and his big red eyes were filled with tears in an instant.
rubbed his eyes and pressed his tears back. Hua Hong said, "Old husband and wife, why are you talking about this?"
Just as they walked to the gate of the courtyard, several men and women and a group of children came from the road. The faces of the men and women looked quite aggressive.
"Chen Kang, your son beat all our children. Look!" A bloated woman crossed her waist and said.
"How do you educate your children! Look, my dog's face is scratched!"
"I said, Chen Kang and Hua Hong, how on earth did you become parents? Chen Lin likes to beat people so much at such a young age. Will this fighting king grow up?"
Looking at the children's swollen and blood-stained faces and the angry eyes of the parents, Chen Kang's eyes instantly cooled down.
"Chen Lin, what's going on?"
Chen Kang asked coldly to a boy walking at the end with his head slightly lowered.
Chen Lin looks seven or eight years old, taller than these children, with tiger heads and tiger brains, which makes people feel very aggressive.
Hearing his father's question, Chen Lin lowered his eyes and said no words.
"say! What's going on!" Chen Kang patted the wheelchair armrest, which scared the children!
"They said my father was disabled and said that my father was useless. Of course I had to beat them!" Xiao Chenlin's eyes were full of anger. Obviously, he did not have the slightest sense of mistake.
Chen Kang was stunned when he heard this and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Hua Hong was angry and hurt, and her hands holding the wheelchair trembled slightly.
"Your father is disabled!" At this time, a milky voice sounded: "Look, he is sitting in a wheelchair, not a disabled person!"
"That's right, I don't even have legs, of course it's useless! We are right!" Another child also summoned up the courage to shout.
And when those parents saw their children say such words, no one said anything to stop them, but looked at all this with a sneer.
"I hit you, I let you say it, I let you say it!" Xiao Chenlin frowned stubbornly and was about to rush up with his fists clenched.
"Chen Kang, don't care about your son!" The bloated woman screamed again.
"Chen Lin, apologize." As soon as Chen Kang spoke, Chen Lin immediately stopped and looked at his father with big eyes full of stubbornness.
"Dad, I didn't do anything wrong!" Chen Lin twisted his neck and seemed to be a stubborn boy.
"Apologize!" Chen Kang raised the volume a little more and patted the wheelchair armrest again.
"Dad!" Chen Lin looked stubbornly at his father who had lost his legs, and his big eyes slowly filled with tears.
"I repeat, I apologize!" This time, Chen Kang's voice was much lower. Maybe he didn't feel it himself, and his voice was trembling slightly.
This dog. Mother's life, even Chen Kang, who was once at the forefront of the army of the Republic of China, had to bow to life at this time.
Yes, Chen Kang had to bow his head.
When someone else's child says to his son, "Your father is disabled", he not only can't protect his son's emotions, but even ask him to apologize to others. Such a father is really aggrieved.
But if not, what can Chen Kang do? In the past, in the face of such a thing, he would have hit it with a fist! But now, my legs are broken, and I have to bow my head under the eaves!
They have been neighbors for so many years. Their legs are mutilated. There must be many things they need to help in the future. Chen Kang stared at the ground in front of him, and his heart was bleeding drop by drop.
And the flowers beside him are red, and tears have flowed all over his face.
"Apologize, Chen Lin, a man should be responsible for his actions." Chen Kang, who has always been quiet, is the longest sentence he has said recently.
"I'm right!"
Chen Lin raised his little head, and his little face full of tears was full of stubbornness. He shouted, "Mom has been telling me that my father is the best man in the world, and I will be like him when I grow up!"
Looking at his father's legs, Chen Lin's eyes flashed with a trace of pain and struggle: "Even if you can't stand up, you are the best man! I'm right. If they still want to scold you, I'll beat them again!"
When Chen Kang heard this, such an iron-boned man, such a man whose legs were blown up without shouting pain, finally couldn't help but shed tears that had been suppressed for nearly five years.
"You're right. Even if your father can't stand up, he is still the best man in the world." Sometime, a man squatted beside little Chen Lin and patted the little guy on the shoulder, his eyes full of encouragement and warmth.
