After Jung's parents calmed down, Hayes chatted with them about their current situation. After knowing that their lives were not too difficult, he was ready to leave, but Jung's father insisted on keeping them to eat and go to a nearby place. The restaurant bought some meat and vegetables. When Hayes asked about Jung's brothers and sisters, Jung's mother said that since Jung left, the couple's health has not been as good as before, so the business affairs have basically been left to the children. them.
When Jung's father came back, Jung's mother also put the extra food from the kitchen on the table. Although they were middle nests, their diet could not be called luxury, it was just rough in starch content. Lower black bread, vegetable soup and some sausage.
After lunch, Hayes came to Jung's past room.
The house is not big, but it is very clean. It can be seen that it is cleaned every day. The bedding is neatly folded together. There is a small wardrobe, wooden table and chairs, and there are many hand-painted paintings on the walls. One of Jung's "works" from childhood to adulthood caught Hayes's attention. It was a painting of children holding hands and forming a circle. In the circle squatted an "egg" with arms and legs. It looked at He got up very scared and squatted on the ground.
Hayes walked to the table and saw a piece of letterhead on the table, with a line of crooked writing on it. It was Jung's handwriting that could be seen at a glance——
Don't worry, Mom, I will get home safely. Don't forget to check the stove at home. It always breaks down when I'm at home. Thank you Uncle Fim for me. Fortunately, he taught me how to play the top before I left. Tell my brother. Sister, I love them, and dad. He shouldn’t work so long, otherwise the back pain will happen again.
I am a stupid kid
Thank you, Mom, you always love me
I will always love you too
You can see the letterhead There were a lot of tears, maybe Jung's family sat here more than once waiting for news about him, but in the end -
Hayes looked at a small box on the corner of the table. After hesitating for a moment, he reached out and pressed a button on it, and then brisk music sounded.
【Mr. Egghead Big Egghead~】
【Mr. Egghead sitting on the wall~】
【Suddenly someone was startled~】
【 Mr. Eggman fell down~】
[The king’s horse, the king’s soldiers~]
[Can’t put the egg back together~]
Hayes couldn’t help but burst into tears.
Finally, before leaving, he took out the precious metal currency deposit certificate he had prepared, but he did not say that he gave it to him, but said that it was Jung who had deposited it with him, and Jung's parents took it away. I hope Hayes can come here often when he is free.
After leaving Jung's house, Hayes and his two wives went to the next nest. The area was not so peaceful, but Hayes was not the young boy he used to be.
As soon as the three of them got out of the car, they were targeted by a group of thieves. As a result, Hayes knocked them down with three strikes. When they still wanted to fight, they were dissuaded by the laser gun in Hayes' hand.
Then they came to a shanty town, which was basically populated by manual workers, such as porters. After asking a few people, Hayes came to a two-story building with an exterior The outside of a rusty looking shed.
When he just knocked on the door a few times, a woman's impatient roar came from inside:
"Who is it!"
Hayes was frightened. Jump, then replied:
"Is it the Bell family?"
"He's dead! Don't come looking for him!"
Obviously, the people inside are very angry and even hate this name. Hayes knows After Bell's experience, he could only sigh and said:
"I am Bell's comrade, and I brought back some of his things."
"No! Throw them away!"
At this time, a boy with a bruised nose and face came over, and Hayes noticed that it was one of the thieves he had beaten. He looked to be only eleven or twelve years old. He was also stunned when he saw Hayes.
“You are——”
“You!”
At this time, the door opened, and a man who looked very thin, but menacing, wearing dirty clothes A woman wearing brown clothes and an almost black apron came out. When she saw the boy, she frowned and reached out to grab the boy's ears.
“Are you fooling around with those bastards from the Dog Thieves Gang again!?”
The boy wearing a black leather jacket full of patches, earrings and a nose ring suddenly shook him off, and then said impatiently:
"Then what will my sisters eat if I don't go to work?"
At this time, Hayes noticed two girls who looked eight or nine years old in the shack, looking timidly outside.
So he stepped forward to interrupt the two of them.
"My name is Hayes, and I am Bell's comrade. Are you Bell's wife?" The woman turned around, looked at Hayes carefully, then frowned and said rudely:
"What's wrong? That bitch owes you money? Don't look for me."
Hayes shook his head helplessly.
"Bell died."
"I know! Damn, there is no enlistment notice and even the pension is only half! It's almost worthless military tickets. It's really useless to die. Something!”
The other party insulted Bell so much that even though he knew that the other party was a gambler, Hayes still felt uncomfortable.
"That's not Bell's fault, he will remember you until his death."
As he said that, he took out Bell's nameplate and the blood-stained photo, and handed them to the woman .
When she saw these two things, although the woman's face was still filled with disdain, her eyes were moist, and she finally took these two things silently.
Hayes looked at the boy again.
"Are you Bell's child?"
"Yes."
The boy didn't care, but he kept glancing at the photo, while his mother had already turned her head and covered it with her hands. He closed his mouth and sobbed softly.
"You shouldn't be like this, don't let yourself down. Your father is a hero. He fought to the death with the most terrifying enemy. Don't let him down."
Hearing this, the boy slightly smiled. He was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked away.
"He, he. In the past, he only gambled and never cared about us."
"Yes, Bell made mistakes in the past. He used his blood to make up for his mistakes. This is what he left to you with his life."
Hayes took out the expedition manual and a deposit slip. After the boy took it, he looked at the logo of the Ministry of Military Affairs on it blankly, and his mother finally burst into tears and burst into tears.
No matter what, they are relatives.
Two girls ran out, pulling at the hem of the woman's skirt, and crying softly.
"How did his father die?"
"Bell. Fight enemies you can't imagine. They are the enemies of mankind, heretics, and devils. They are four or five meters high and covered with clothes. Steel can crush a tank with just a pinch. Bell is a hero, he used his life to destroy such an enemy."
The boy was stunned, he never thought that his father would be. Such a hero.
"Remember, kid, your father is a hero, it's true, he is the pride of our company."
The boy stared down at the expedition manual and gently touched the cover. Suddenly he reached out and pulled off the earrings from his ears.
"Thank you, uncle, thank you for letting me know my father's heroic deeds. I will be proud of him, and I will try to be a hero like him."
At this time, Hayes noticed the picture of Bell There were five children there, but there were only three here. When he asked, the boy answered him sadly.
“. One brother had an accident while working as a porter a year ago. When he was carried home, he was only alive. As a result, the other brother only compensated for one month’s rations. Another brother took risks to make money. I was transporting medicine, but ended up getting involved in a gang fight, and only the stumps were sent home."
After the boy finished speaking, Bell's wife burst into tears.
"Bell, I'm sorry. Woohoo, I didn't take good care of the children. Woohoo."
Although he felt sad, Hayes felt that any words at this moment were pale.
Afterwards, Bell’s wife wanted to return the deposit certificate to Hayes, because she knew that Bell would not save any money. It must have been given by Hayes, but Hayes resolutely handed it over to the other party, and He left without any further trouble and asked the other party to make dinner.
After a tiring day, Hayes and his two wives stayed in a relatively comfortable hotel in Xiachao for one night, and then headed straight to Xiachao, a place he rarely set foot on.
