The Return

Chapter 7: The Return (1)

 Of course Lin Yang wouldn't think about this, and it would be fitting to describe his mood as one of homecoming. In the world of martial arts created by his ancestor and the devil, he had almost forgotten that he was a modern man living in a high-tech era, and he believed that anyone in his situation would feel the same way. But after all, he was a harshly trained warrior, and quickly returned to his state, and this magical martial arts was just one more skill in his opinion, the same as the unarmed combat of special warfare skills, nothing to brag about.

 He put away the remains of his ancestor and the devil, and smashed two two-meter-wide pits by the lake with his inner strength, so that the two seniors could be buried in the ground. The two "sitting here" wooden plaque was taken by him, made the tombstone of the two, and then respectfully kowtowed in front of their graves. The two seniors were buried in this peach garden, never to be disturbed by outsiders, perhaps it was the best place for them.

 Gathering up the relics of the Cloud Sect and the Devil Sect, they were all placed in the silk bag where the Devil Sovereign had placed the night pearl. Lin Yang glanced back at the place that he would never forget, then twisted his head and walked forward. Without taking a few steps, he suddenly remembered how to explain the movements of these days once he was out of the cave. After thinking for a while, he walked back to remove the night pearl set on the roof of the cave and put it in the bag as well.

 Lin Yang walked forward a short distance and saw the cave exit. This cave is located in the middle of the belly of the mountain, the exit sticks out about twenty centimeters from the cliff wall, under which is a cliff break, so deep that there is no bottom. This cave entrance from the top of the cliff is surprisingly thirty to forty meters away, the sky is dark, Lin Yang stretched out his head to look, only to see the top of the cliff and the cave entrance right in the middle of an old tree lying horizontally outstretched branches. I don't know how the master ancestor and the demon master found this cave back then, the high people act really is profound and extraordinary.

 Lin Yang wanted to climb up from the cave entrance, but the rock wall was too steep, there was really not much certainty, the bottom of the cliff below is so deep that you can't even find your bones if you fall down. Lin Yang pondered for a while, thinking that with the lightweight stance he experienced in the cave, borrowing the strength of the old tree up to the top of the cliff is probably still possible. But after all, this was a matter of life and death, and Lin Yang himself wasn't sure to what extent his own kung fu was. But judging by his performance in the cave, twenty meters should be no problem.

 Lin Yang made up his mind, his body internal force flow, foot gently a little, the body shape of the air, such as the first rise of the auspicious clouds, lightly landed in the old tree branches, and do not do more to stay, foot again a little, such as floating flotsam landed on the top of the cliff. Lin Yang looked at the bottom of the cliff, wiped the cold sweat, said, boy, this light power can be really exciting, and then lie on the ground gasping for breath. In fact, with Lin Yang's current internal strength, this distance shouldn't be a problem for him, but he used it for the first time and his spirit was extremely tense, which made it so exciting.

 Lying on the ground for a while to feel the cool evening breeze, think about these days in the cave encounter, clearly is just the end of the encounter, but it seems to be so far away from reach. Lin Yang finally had some feeling of being a human being again, "ah - ah -" roared a few times, rolled on the ground a few times, feeling the thick earth to give himself a heavy feeling of life. .

 After identifying the direction and determining the coordinates, Lin Yang knew that he had deviated from the intended retreat route long ago, and was now about five kilometers away from the national border. But even when he got inside the national border it was just a vast expanse of primitive forest, and the first border checkpoint would not be found until a dozen kilometers away.

 Lin Yang was lucky, just as he stepped into the border, he heard a "ching chong" sound coming from his ears. At this time, his power has greatly improved, six sense more open, listen to this sound is probably a few hundred meters away, is the footsteps on the fallen leaves sound, the number of people is quite a lot, at least there are twenty or so. Lin Yang knew that he had stumbled upon a patrol on the national border, his heart became excited, the feeling of seeing his relatives made him stop hiding his figure, his steps were as fast as flying, and he approached the patrol with a few starts and stops.

 "What man?" An interrogation immediately came from the opposite side, accompanied by a sound of crouching down in ambush and the sound of guns crashing. Listening to the familiar sound of gun impacts, Lin Yang could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart and shouted, "Captain, don't shoot, it's me!" Just after he finished reading, Lin Yang realized, ouch, no, strung out.

 The person leading the other side was also quite humorous and picked up, "It's you kid." Lin Yang had already seen that the leader was a second lieutenant officer, so he smiled, and just as he was about to approach, the second lieutenant's face slumped, "Please confirm your identity."

 Lin Yang reported a string of numbers interspersed with letters, and the second lieutenant got in touch with the border checkpoint via radio, reported the numbers, and after getting the order, asked again, "Password!" Lin Yang's eyes reddened a little, remembering the monkey and Little Li, and said slowly, "Falcon to the nest!"

 The second lieutenant took a step forward and held Lin Yang's hand tightly, "Chief, we can wait for you, our four detachments have been patrolling the national border for seven days." The second lieutenant looked at Lin Yang's civilized and scholarly appearance and did not know his true identity, so he had to address him as chief, and did not know whether to salute or not, so he shook Lin Yang's hand.

 Lin Yang's nose was a little sour: "Thank you, thank you brothers." The second lieutenant was about to speak, when he saw Lin Yang turn around and look at the endless jungle, there seemed to be teardrops flowing from his eyes, and his mouth silently chanted, "There, lie our dear comrades."

 "Attention - salute -" the second lieutenants and warriors stood erect in their bodies, facing the direction of their comrade's sacrifice, and joined Lin Yang in a solemn military salute.

 On the way back to the checkpoint, Lin Yang no longer had the excitement of going home, and was silent on the way. The second lieutenant named Wang Gang looked at the young chief and didn't dare to say much. Seeing that the atmosphere was not very active, Lin Yang knew that he had caused it, so he smiled and said to Wang Gang, "Brother, how long have you been at the border checkpoint?"

 "Two years. Came right after graduation." Wang Gang was several years older than Lin Yang, twenty-four or twenty-five.

 "Oh, came voluntarily?" Lin Yang knew that very few people came willingly to this kind of border post with a grueling environment. Wang Gang smiled and said, "It wasn't voluntary at first, I had just graduated and my heart was higher than the sky, so I had a period of resistance after the dispatch order came down. Later, after going down to the squadron, I felt that the environment here is quite good, there are mountains and water, flowers and grass, as well as pure natural green food, slowly get used to it, and then I felt that I couldn't get away from here." Lin Yang heard the bitterness in his tone, smiled and patted his shoulder without saying anything. Perhaps his whole life was dedicated here, but as a soldier, no one had the right to choose.

 Returning to the border checkpoint, the second lieutenant picked up the phone, "General team? this is station one zero one, please pick up the provincial military division." "Provincial military division? please pick up the Tianjing military district-" turning to Lin Yang, he said, "Chief, the Tianjing military district is connected."

 Lin Yang took the phone, "Please transfer to internal line 82951-" Listening to a thick voice coming from the other side of the phone, "I'm Zeng Tianyuan." Lin Yang swallowed and called out, "Zeng Da--"

 Zeng Tianyuan on the other end immediately jumped up as if he had a formation stuck in his ass, "Lin Yang, is that you kid? You kid is still crunching-" Lin Yang suppressed the excitement in his heart, "Zeng Da, I'm crunching-"

 Zeng Tianyuan took the phone and walked around the room, incoherently saying, "I knew it, I knew it, you kid will be able to come back, heck, no one can fucking take my little master's life. You wait, I'll send you right away to pick up the helicopter, no, no, I'll send the helicopter right away to pick you up."

 As Lin Yang listened to Zeng Tianyuan's words, a warm current rose from the bottom of his heart. The Zeng Tianyuan on the phone added: "I'll call the military division of Yunbei Province right away, and tell them to feed you well, and no one will fucking think of giving my people the slip. Three hours later, have them personally send you to Region Two. Is that clear?"

 "Understood-" Lin Yang replied loudly, Zeng Tianyuan had already hung up the phone long ago and hurriedly made arrangements to go. Lin Yang asked Wang Gang to find a traveling bag and put the Jade Ink Bamboo in it along with the treasures in the cave. Just after finding a camouflage uniform for Lin Yang to change into, Wang Gang received an order from the general unit to send Lin Yang to a certain city to meet up with the head of the Yunbei military division in the quickest and safest way possible.

 After dropping Lin Yang off at his destination, the second lieutenant drove the car and prepared to turn back, and before getting into the car, he turned back and looked at Lin Yang with a desire to speak. Lin Yang smiled and said, "Is there a problem?" Wang Gang blushed a little and said softly, "Chief, is this what you are?" The two palms of his hands were next to each other, gesturing an eagle soaring motion.

 Lin Yang nodded, and Wang Gang, his face red with excitement, brushed his face and saluted, "Thank you, Chief! Chief, you are the pride of our soldiers!" Lin Yang returned the salute and watched as Wang Gang was so excited that he drove the jeep faster than a helicopter and sped away.

 Lin Yang just reached the second area, heard the huge roar of the helicopter overhead, the wheels just landed, a burly figure can not wait to rush down. Lin Yang jogged over, feet together, and just as he wanted to salute, he was grabbed by the shoulder, and his chest received a heavy old punch from Zeng Tianyuan: "Damn it, you kid sheered back to me."

 Lin Yang grinned and said, "Zeng Da, that damn place has neither beautiful women nor Maotai, and is bombarded by mosquitoes every day, so I might as well come back to receive your old punch!"

 "No. 1--" Qingluan behind Zeng Da swooped up and grabbed Lin Yang's arm, jumping and jumping, her eyes filled with tears. The fat head of this side gave Lin Yang's shoulder a punch and secretly wiped the corners of his eyes.

 Behind Lin Yang, the commander of the military sub-district of Yunbei Province said, "Old Zeng ah, our hero but to you safely delivered, listen to your instructions, good food and drink served, just short of soaking milk bath."

 Zeng big eyes glared: "Even soak a milk bath you old Li can not afford to give up, go to Tianjing, my old Zeng's Maotai can not have your share." Qingluan suddenly let out a shriek: "No. 1, you really soak in a milk bath, your skin -" fat head followed by a shriek: "No. 1, you beauty - -"

 Lin Yang laughed bitterly, he couldn't tell them that he had eaten the legendary heaven and earth's most precious treasure to cut down his tendons and wash his marrow, he only had to joke and say, "These days I met a beautiful snake, every night I do a rappelling and stick cucumbers on me, it's really a god-like day."

 Qing Luan was about to be unforgiving, Lin Yang suddenly looked downcast, walked up to Zeng Da and said, "Zeng Da, Monkey he-" Zeng Da waved his hand, "Go back and talk about it." Lin Yang knew that he didn't want others to know about the Falcon, Qing Luan and Fat Headtor saw that Lin Yang was the only one who came back, they also knew that Monkey had sacrificed himself, and their expressions became grave.

 "Zeng Da, I wasn't able to bring the monkey back-" Lin Yang said with red eyes just as the helicopter flew off the ground.

Chapter 8: The Return (2)

 Zeng Da was silent for a while, then took off his military cap, and the four of them joined in a moment of silence for their fallen comrades.

 Lin Yang do not know how to describe these days their own encounter, think about it, only to streamline a part of themselves and the monkey to block the enemy, as well as the two sank into the quagmire, but inadvertently found the situation of the stone cave said. Lin Yang only said that his thigh injury can not move, these days in the cave to recuperate, after the injury gradually healed, before climbing up the cliff wall. Worship and learning and jade ink bamboo things naturally can not say, night pearl thing also can not say, now in the cave only remains of the two seniors, night pearl also by himself all brought out, even if someone breaks in again, there is nothing to do with it. Although kindly hiding part of the irrelevant facts, but the rest of the plot is true, even in the cave met the remains of the ancients, also told.

 This encounter is already amazing enough, even Zeng Dudu smacked his lips and said, "It's fucking amazing!" Qingluan seemed to be mesmerized and quickly said, "No. 1, your skin is so good, did you soak in the hot springs there?" Lin Yang couldn't tell the truth, so he had to pretend to be confused, "I don't know, maybe, that hot spring is really comfortable." Qingluan nodded and said, "That's for sure, geothermal hot springs are rich in sulfur and many minerals, the benefits to the skin are obvious. Number One, can I go and take a dip as well?"

 Lin Yang flicked his mouth at Zeng Da, meaning that if you ask Zeng Da if he would let you go, Qingluan really stopped speaking.

 Lin Yang asked, "How is Dajiang doing?" The fat-headed man shook his head and said softly, "Dazhuang's right eye was completely removed, injuring the intracranial nerves, he just woke up yesterday, his sister-in-law has already come over to take care of him. Little Li Zi's ashes have not yet been laid to rest, wait for his parents to come over tomorrow and see what they mean."

 Lin Yang's eyes reddened, this utterly failed mission had cost the Falcon dearly. It wasn't that the Falcon couldn't fold its wings, but it couldn't be this unexplained.

 Zeng Da, who hadn't spoken for a long time, slowly said, "The reason for the failure of this mission will be available tomorrow with inside information. Today, you should rest first, and tomorrow you will go and check on Da Zhuang."

 The helicopter arrived at a military airport, and Lin Yang's four men changed to a military plane and flew back to Tianjing overnight. Looking at the glass outside the blank night sky, Lin Yang only felt like there was a wall in his heart as blocked panic. Looking at the grim Zeng Da and the grief-stricken Qingluan and Fat Toujiao, Lin Yang felt that the night seemed even darker.

 Zeng Da handed Lin Yang and Fat Headturner an internal special cigarette, and was just about to light it when Qing Luan glared at him, so he had to put the cigarette back in the iron box and smiled bitterly, "Better not smoke it!" Qingluan snatched the cigarettes from Lin Yang's hand, not even looking at Zeng Da's heartbroken eyes, the long roll of cigarettes was gently crushed. Fat Toto behaved himself, not waiting for Qingluan to do it, hurriedly hiding the cigarettes in the pocket of his training uniform.

 Back to the camp's did not let Lin Yang feel much excitement, the room belongs to the monkey's bed is empty, no longer hear the monkey's cheerful laughter. Gently caressing the neatly folded quilt on the bed, Lin Yang's eyes seemed to be flooded with the monkey's smiling face again, "... I also want to go to college ...".

 Little Li Zi forehead bright blood flowers and the monkey's bright smile alternately floated in front of Lin Yang, Lin Yang clenched his fists, a heavy fist smashed on the wall, tears can no longer be held back, large drops fell to the ground ...

 Early in the morning the next day, Lin Yang finished organizing the monkey's housekeeping for him, and then dragged Fat Head and Qingluan to go see Da Zhuang. When he entered the hospital room, Dazhuang had not yet woken up, and Dazhuang's sister-in-law was lying on her back on the hospital bed, sleeping soundly. Lin Yang pulled the overturned quilt on his body for Da Zhuang, and just when he wanted to leave, there came Da Zhuang's faint voice: "No. 1, is that you?"

 "It's me, Da Zhuang, how are you?" Lin Yang turned around and took Dajiang's hand, his nostrils flared at the sight of his wasted face. "I'm fine, fine!" Dajiang smiled and said, "I was thinking yesterday that I finally had time to go have a baby with your sister-in-law-" Dajiang's sister-in-law, who had long since woken up, had a red face and gently hammered on her husband's body. Qingluan smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, when you have a baby, I am definitely going to see it, it's our little falcon."

 Dazhuang looked at Lin Yang and said, "Monkey, is he--" Lin Yang's eyes reddened and slowly nodded, "Dazhuang, I'm sorry, I couldn't bring the monkey back--" Dazhuang interrupted him, "It's not your responsibility. -Dazhuang interrupted him: "No. 1, it's not your responsibility. As soldiers, we will inevitably have this day. The monkey is good, it didn't lose our Falcon's face."

 Seeing the tears in the corner of Qingluan's eyes, Dazhuang was busy changing the subject, "One, your sister-in-law and I have discussed, when I return home from the army, I will go up to the mountains to plant apple trees, and planted him a mountain red. When the time comes to regenerate a big fat boy, No. 1, I know you know kung fu, when the time comes to teach the baby, our Falcon's seed to where can not be cowardly." Lin Yang laughed: "Don't worry, when the time comes, I will definitely give your family a big gift for the fat boy."

 The three men saw that Da Zhuang looked tired and knew that his body had not recovered yet, so they chatted some more and left.

 Little Li Zi's parents arrived in Tianjing at night, Lin Yang drove his car carrying Qingluan and Fat Headtor straight to the platform. Little Li Zi's mother was wearing a blue cloth shirt with a few chicken feathers in her hair, and was holding a basket full of eggs. Little Li Zi his father stepped on a pair of yellow rubber shoes full of dry mud, looking at the Lin Yang three people in front of him, so nervous that he wiped his hand on his shirt and wiped again and again, before tightly holding Lin Yang reached out to his hand, his face red, half a day to say a sentence: "Chief - chief, Li Zi give you trouble. "

 A sentence said Lin Yang eyes sour water, teardrops rolled down the cheeks, "flop" a kneel on the ground, behind the fat head of the Buddha and Qingluan followed the kneeling, Lin Yang choked and said: "Father, mother, the child to you two old kowtow." Three people kneeling on the ground kowtowing, Xiao Li Zi parents panicked, busy holding them and said, "Chief, what are you doing, quickly get up, quickly get up." Lin Yang said, "Father, mother, Little Li Zi is our blood brother, you are our blood parents." Little Li Zi's parents also cried and tugged Lin Yang as they stood up, "Son, it's our Li Zi's good fortune to have good brothers like you."

 Passing the eggs in her hand to Lin Yang's hand, Xiao Li Zi's mother said, "Children, when we left from home we were in too much of a hurry, the rice seedlings were still in the field, and we didn't have much to offer, so Auntie pulled out a few eggs from the chicken's nest, so that you can taste them, we raised our own chickens, and this tastes good."

 Receiving Little Li Zi's parents to the camp, Zeng Da was still in a meeting, Lin Yang first asked the two old men what they thought about Little Li Zi's afterlife arrangements. The elder woman looked at Lin Yang and asked cautiously, "Xiao Lin ah, are there any rules on this in the army, I want to take Little Li Zi home I don't know if it's a good idea?"

 Lin Yang busily said, "There's no problem, we'll send little Li Zi back when the time comes." The damsel's tears flowed down again: "The three of their brothers, the oldest two have not been raised, just this old boy, this child is also considered to be successful, would have liked to give him a daughter-in-law next year, who knows--" Little Li Zi's his father took his hand and touched her, the damsel saw the three of them Lin Yang The redness of the eyes, busy to stop talking.

 Little Li Zi his father then said, "We have a family on the other side of the mountain's daughter just went over the other day, we went to see the photos, quite a watery a daughter. Our two families have gotten together, we can't let the two children be alone underground, so we finalized their affairs, so we came two days late." Lin Yang knew that they were talking about a plutonic marriage, many places still had this custom, men and women who had passed away who didn't have a family, the elders of the two families would discuss it and could finalize a plutonic marriage, and then the remains of both sides would be combined and buried together.

 Zeng Da just finished the meeting came over, looking at Zeng Da hand holding the little Li Zi's urn, the two old people in tears, trembling hands to take it. Dame will urn tightly embrace in the arms, mouth cried out "son ah -" and collapsed in a chair, Qingluan busy support her, tears flowed down.

 Zeng Da's eyes were moist and he passed a wink towards Lin Yang, and the two of them turned out of the house. Zeng Da passed a cigarette, Lin Yang exhaled the smoke and relayed the two old men's request. Zeng Da did not make a sound for a long time, and only after the cigarette burned out did he say, "This is not a request at all. They handed the child over to me and I can't give it back to them, I, Zeng Tianyuan, have wronged them." Zeng Da's voice choked up, "In the next two days, you guys keep the two old men company, all the requests will be met, I, Zeng Tianyuan, cannot condescend to my soldiers." Lin Yang nodded.

 Zeng Da asked again, "Has Monkey's family contacted him yet?" Lin Yang said, "Monkey's family only has one sister, and she's going to take the college entrance exam next year. We don't dare to tell her at this time, the blow would be too great." Zeng Da nodded and said, "That's good, I'll make a call to the local community later and ask them to take care of it. Let's say that the monkey is on a secret mission, it will take about a year, and when the college entrance exam is over next year, then we will tell her the truth. You help this girl well, make sure to get a good university, just say that you are being cared for by her brother, come to help her well."

 After arranging these two things, Zeng Da's frowning brows did not loosen, lit a cigarette, took a puff and said slowly, "The reason for the failure of this mission is already clear, the insider was exposed and utilized by the drug traffickers, and the insider has been silenced." This conclusion was something Lin Yang had already expected, but at this time, hearing Zeng Da personally say it out loud, his heart was still flooded with a feeling of weakness.

 "The military administration thinks that the mission failure has a lot to do with the on-site command failure, and is very upset that you were off the team for seven days, thinking that the explanation of your whereabouts is completely unreasonable-" Zeng Da licked his dry lips, and his eyes shot out an angry gaze. Two comrades sacrificed and one seriously injured without accomplishing the mission was an almost unbearable shame for the Falcon.

 Lin Yang did not say a word, what does the military administration office do, he knows, if it is someone else who is off the team for seven days is definitely the first to report to the military administration office, which is why last night Zeng Da had to personally go to pick him up.

 Zeng Da exhaled a smoke ring and said with a burning gaze, "I know they are targeting me, the failure of this mission made them think they have found a breakthrough." Lin Yang had a bitter feeling in his heart, our nation is the best at internal struggles, it's been a cultural legacy for thousands of years. "Tomorrow when they find you to talk, don't worry, everything will be handled by me." Zeng Da patted Lin Yang's shoulder and said.

 "Senior brother," Lin Yang suddenly changed his address and said with a smile, "We haven't competed for a long time, how about it, do you dare to try?" Zeng Tianyuan looked at this junior brother with a smile, his eyes indescribably amiable, and said loudly, "Good, let's try it brother and sister."

 Both of them were wearing training uniforms and didn't need to change clothes again. Zeng Tianyuan straightened his fist towards Lin Yang's chest, his Heavenly Heart Skill was also cultivated to the second layer, but his power was even deeper than Lin Yang's before. This punch had no frills and was extremely fast, carrying the sound of a tiger's wind and arriving in front of Lin Yang's chest in the blink of an eye.
