Chapter 1
dusk.
Yunhe Airport, with a radius of ten miles, is all blocked.
Unrelated personnel are not allowed to enter or exit.
Hundreds of planes were circling in the sky.
Guards with guns and ammunition guard every intersection.
Just because, three years ago, the commander-in-chief of Nanhuang, Chen Hetu, who was awarded the title of Unparalleled National Scholar, arrived in Yunhe City today.
The top commander of Yunhe City mobilized troops and blocked the airport, just to hold a grand and beyond-standard welcome ceremony for the commander-in-chief of Southern Wilderness Chen Hetu.
At the same time, prominent people in Yunhe City rushed over, hoping to meet the Commander-in-Chief of Kowloon and win a favor, but they were blocked ten miles away from the airport.
This makes them dare to be angry but not speak out.
I could only raise my head and look in the direction of the airport.
······
However, no one knew that Chen Hetu came back by high-speed rail.
"Five years!"
"I, Chen Hetu, am finally back!!"
Standing at the exit of the station, he stared blankly at the familiar yet unfamiliar scene with mixed feelings.
Pedestrians passing by stopped and looked sideways because he was wearing a worn-out camouflage uniform with blood stains on it.
It is completely different from the fashionable pedestrians wearing suits and leather shoes around him.
Chen Hetu didn't care about the looks of passers-by, his thoughts drifted into the distance.
Five years ago, he was framed, had his hamstrings broken, and was thrown into an underwater prison. He thought he would spend the rest of his life lingering in this prison.
Unexpectedly, a mysterious old man not only cured his broken hamstring, but also taught him a martial art.
After he understood everything, he threw him to the Southern Wilderness and asked him to make a five-year agreement.
Within five years, he will serve in the Southern Wilderness and is not allowed to leave. He is not allowed to...
······
At that time, the Southern Wilderness was in the midst of a war, and he was drafted into the army. It took him three years to go from a new soldier to a commander-in-chief.
Three years ago, the enemy gathered thirty-six people and millions of troops to invade the Southern Wilderness.
He led his troops to defend against the enemy, and single-handedly turned the tide of the war, beheading thirty-six commanders, and frightened away millions of enemy troops.
In this battle, he became famous far and wide, made great achievements, was named the Commander-in-Chief of the Southern Wilderness, and was awarded the Medal of Unparalleled National Soldiers.
It took him another two years to lead his own troops to conquer, unify the thirty-six tribal nations around the Southern Wilderness, and recover 30,000 miles of lost land!
At this point, he retired with success.
······
A gust of cool wind blew by, and Chen Hetu came back to his senses.
Five years have passed and he can finally come back.
I wonder how my parents are doing. Are they in good health? Is their hair turning white?
And her, his fiancée, Tang Ying!
I don’t know if she cut off her long hair or married someone else.
Thinking about it, Chen Hetu couldn't help but speed up his pace.
Soon, he arrived near his home.
This is a dilapidated urban village. It has been said to be demolished five years ago. Unexpectedly, five years later, only the roofs have been demolished. Many houses around have been built with two or three floors, presumably to increase the number of buildings.
If the area is larger, compensation will be required.
On the other hand, my own home is in tatters and cannot be protected from wind and rain.
He walked quickly to the door, opened the wooden door full of holes, and saw a strange yet familiar small courtyard.
A woman with white hair turned her back to him and was locking the door.
Chen Hetu stood at the door of the courtyard and shouted as he did when he was a child.
"Mom, I'm back!!"
The white-haired woman turned her head subconsciously and dropped the lunch box in her hand to the ground. She looked at the figure at the door in disbelief and said in a trembling voice, "My son, is that you?"
"It's me, my son is back!"
Chen Hetu quickly walked to his mother's side and knelt on the ground with a "pop" sound.
"My son is unfilial!"
"The past five years have made you worried!!"
His head hit the ground hard.
During his five-year military career, he had been injured and shed blood, but he had never shed tears. But at this moment, the iron-bone man cried like a child.
My mother was already in tears.
Her son, who had disappeared for five years, finally came back, and the light of hope ignited in her dark heart.
She tremblingly helped Chen Hetu up from the ground, and said softly: "It'll be good when you're back, it'll be good when you're back!"
After saying that, he held Chen Hetu's hand tightly and didn't let go, as if once he let go, he lost his son again.
Chen Hetu also stood obediently next to his mother, his eyes never leaving his mother's body for a moment.
His mother's body was stooped, her hair was white, and there were more wrinkles. He vaguely saw that his mother was holding on to him as tightly as she is now when she was young, and the guilt in his heart deepened.
It took a long time for my mother to react.
"Are you hungry? Mom is going to cook for you."
Chen Hetu shook his head and said, "I'm not hungry. I ate on the train."
Mother wiped away her tears and said, "Let's go into the house and talk."
With that said, he reopened the locked door.
Chen Hetu asked in confusion: "Mom, where is my dad?"
The mother was startled for a moment, lowered her head and said nothing.
Chen Hetu asked again, "By the way, Mom, where are you going with this lunch box?"
He had long noticed the food scattered in the lunch box on the ground.
Mother remained silent.
A bad premonition came to mind, and Chen Hetu understood that something must have happened at home!
He grabbed his mother's shoulders with both hands and asked anxiously: "Mom, what happened at home? Where is my dad?"
Mother was a little hesitant at this time.
Seeing this, Chen Hetu continued: "Mom, if anything happens, just tell me! Your son is back, no one dares to bully you anymore."
At this moment, an extremely cold aura emerged from Chen Hetu's body.
But my mother felt an unprecedented sense of security at this moment.
Yes, my son is back and no one can bully the old couple.
Thinking of this, she wiped away her tears and said, "Your dad...your dad...he is in the hospital."
Chen Hetu was stunned for a moment and said, "Hospitalized? Is my dad sick?"
The mother shook her head and whispered, "No, she was beaten."
Chen Hetu heard this and became furious.
He shed his blood and his head on the front line to serve the country and the people. But his old father was hospitalized from behind. How could he not be angry?
But seeing his mother's worried look, he suppressed the anger in his heart and asked calmly: "Mom, who hit my dad?"
