Protect?

Mr. Qin looked back in surprise.

He looked at Jiang Ye, wanting to confirm if he had heard it wrong.

The father left home without saying where he was going, was it to protect them and their son?

"Master Jiang, what do you mean by this?" Qin Qilin was also surprised and couldn't help but ask.

Only Zhou Zhiqing suddenly raised his head when he heard Jiang Ye speak!

He saw Jiang Ye at a glance and frowned to stop him: "You——"

"Back then, he was disliked by countless villains because he was too upright."

Jiang Ye spoke directly and temporarily set up a barrier in front of him. He looked at Mr. Qin and said, "One of those people was the commander-in-chief at the time. The commander-in-chief warned him that if he didn't leave, he would attack you and your son."

"Of course, you can ask why he didn't take you with him if he was leaving. That's because—"

"The Marshal wouldn't allow it. He wanted to see him being driven out alone and in such a state of embarrassment, his wife and children separated. Furthermore, he sent people to secretly monitor him. If he dared to take you with him, you would meet with an unexpected disaster."

"He had no choice but to leave on his own, thinking that he would secretly come back to pick you up after a period of time when the situation calmed down."

"Unfortunately, the situation was chaotic and war-torn at the time. He was caught up in various wars during his visit. He sent you letters several times, but they were never delivered due to the fighting."

"Later, the commander-in-chief died, and the city was littered with corpses. You and your son left. He came back once, looking for you, but you had already set out on your journey to find him."

"Later... there was no later. He didn't find you, so he left a letter and returned to devote himself to the cause of defending his country."

"He saved many people, and in the end, he died in a war while saving people."

"The last person he saved was a little boy, about your age at the time."

Little boy!

About the same age as him at that time!

After these two sentences were spoken, the astonishment in Mr. Qin's eyes instantly reached its peak!

He turned around suddenly and looked at his father who was blocked behind the barrier.

Zhou Zhiqing didn't want him to know what happened that year, but it was too late to stop it now.

Seeing him looking at him, Zhou Zhiqing lowered his head again and let out a long sigh.

He didn't say anything.

But it has already filled Mr. Qin's eyes with tears.

Mr. Qin looked at him and never thought that he had abandoned him and his mother just to protect them!

Also, he actually sacrificed his life saving a boy of the same age as him.

But he, but he always thought that he was blaming others, blaming his father for leaving alone that year.

Even if it was my mother, she died with regrets, and probably had a bit of resentment in her heart, right?

“Don’t cry!”

Zhou Zhiqing yelled at him from behind the barrier.

Although the sound could not reach Mr. Qin, he still understood it.

After he understood, the tears in his eyes immediately stopped, but his eyes were still red.

He called out, "Dad," as if admitting his mistake to his father as a child.

"Wipe your tears, why are you crying for my son?" Zhou Zhiqing also understood that he was calling him father, and his heart ached suddenly, but he still scolded him seriously.

However, this time his voice was much softer.

Beneath the serious expression, there was a hint of relief and longing in his eyes.

Jiang raised his hand and retracted the barrier.

Let the father and son have a good talk.

Qin Qilin stood by, looking at his young great-grandfather, and wanted to go over and say a few words, but——

Grandpa Zeng waved it away in disgust!

At this moment, Mr. Qin is no longer an old man in his nineties who is already a great-grandfather, but just a child who has not seen his father for a long time.

In these last moments, he wanted to talk more with his father.

Say all the things you wanted to say but didn’t in the past few decades.

“…” Qin Qilin curled his lips.

However, he was also happy for his great-grandfather.

Great-grandfather's original wish was just to find his great-great-grandfather's remains, but now—

Now not only have I found it, I’ve also seen it!

And the misunderstanding between father and son was also resolved!

Tsk, that’s great.

"Father, I heard from the master that you not only joined the army, but also became a great hero!"

"I'm so sorry for you and your son. I wasn't able to reunite with you after we parted that day. It's my lifelong regret."

"You had your own difficulties back then. If a reasonable person like mother knew, she would definitely understand you and she would be proud of you!"

"You kid! You're already such a grown-up. I heard that kid just now call you great-grandfather. You're already a great-grandfather. Time flies, and it's pretty good."

"Hey, that's true! Not only am I your son a great-grandfather, but like you, I also served in the army and saved many lives. I guess I will be remembered by future generations after I die, right?"

"Why are you thinking about this? Did you join the army just to think about this? Don't forget your original intention! By the way, is there anything your mother wanted to tell you before she died?"

"Words? Yes, that's a lot to say..."

"you say."

“…”

The father and son hugged each other and then sat down in front of the tombstone.

Chat.

But this time did not last long.

Zhou Zhiqing listened to his son, and as he listened, his figure became fainter and fainter.

So faint... as if it would disappear in the next second.
