Chapter 323 Blame Me If You Want to Blame
Zhulan stood at the door and looked at Yang Wuchun carefully. After not seeing him for a year, Wuchun had changed a lot. In the past, Wuchun still had a smile on his face, but now he was getting more and more stern, with a murderous aura. He stood motionless in the yard like a bloody knife. Wuchun's eyes were red, and Yulu was so scared that she hid in Li's arms.
Li was so scared that he took a step back. He muttered in his heart, "He is indeed a man who came from the battlefield. His aura is terrifying."
Yang Wuchun's throat twitched, and he knelt down with red eyes, "Aunt, Uncle."
Zhulan's eyes instantly turned red. Although she had no illusions in her heart, she couldn't help crying when she saw Wuchun's reaction. It was the first time she faced the death of a loved one after such a long time. She asked in a hoarse voice, "Was it Wudong or Wuhe?"
Yang Wuchun spoke with a nasal voice, "It was Wu Dong who died trying to save me. I feel guilty for not following my grandfather's instructions, and for not letting my parents down."
The one who died was his own brother, the youngest brother. Wu Dongqin had never married, and he, as the eldest brother, failed to protect his younger brother.
Zhulan cried. She still remembered the boy who loved to laugh and play. When he left, he joked with her, "Auntie, wait for me to bring back my military exploits so that you can also be proud of them."
Zhou Shuren's heart sank. He stepped forward to help Wu Chun up and said, "Let's talk inside."
Wu Chun wiped his tears. He had come to this day by stepping on the blood of his younger brothers. "Yeah."
Li and Boss Zhou were both very happy at first, but now they were both dumbfounded. They only cared about Wu Chun's promotion and wealth, and never thought that military commanders all achieved their positions through fighting.
Li said quietly, "No wonder mom and dad have been in a bad mood recently. It turns out that mom and dad had already guessed it."
Zhou Laoda recalled carefully that his parents were worried after seeing Wu Chun. They had guessed that day. Zhou Laoda had a heavy nasal voice and his voice was hoarse. Wu Dong, who called him his eldest cousin, was gone. He couldn't help crying, "How could he be gone!"
Li also cried. Xue Han came back to her senses after hearing the crying. She knew that her cousin Wu Dong was really dead. She covered her mouth with a handkerchief and sobbed. Ming Teng and Yu Lu were young. Ming Teng didn't have a deep understanding of what death was. His parents and grandmother cried, and the little guy also cried. Yu Lu cried when she saw her brother crying.
Ma Eryue lowered his head. Although it was obviously a happy thing, he felt a sigh in his heart. As a slave, he really didn't know how to comfort her and could only stand there stupidly.
Inside the room, Zhulan wiped her tears and asked, "Where's Wuhe?"
Wu Chun said sadly: "Wu He was injured and is recuperating at the Zheng family. I think he should be well now."
Zhou Shuren didn't want to rub salt into Wu Chun's wounds. Wu Chun was the most hurt because his own brother saved him. He moved his mouth but didn't ask in the end.
Wu Chun's eyes were red. "They were all under my command. We were ambushed. Wu Dong didn't deserve to die. I was the one who deserved to die. He took the knife for me. I was the one who deserved to die. I have a son and a daughter, but he hasn't even married yet!"
He was too ashamed to see his parents and didn't dare to face his grandparents.
Zhulan and Zhou Shuren had guessed it long ago and were better at accepting it. They watched Wu Chun vent his feelings and confess his sins. They knew that Wu Chun had been holding it in his heart for a long time, and he had never told anyone about these words. When he saw his relatives in the capital, he really couldn't bear it anymore.
Zhulan stared at Wuchun's eyes. Wuchun's eyes were bloodshot. He had not had a good rest since Wudong passed away. Among all people, Wuchun was the most tormented.
Wu Chun slapped himself hard. Zhu Lan wanted to step forward and grab his outstretched hand but stopped him. She and Zhou Shuren watched quietly. Wu Chun sat down on the ground and cried loudly, crying out of regret.
Wu Chun cried for a long time, and only after a long time did she slowly calm down.
Zhou Shuren stepped forward to help Wu Chun up, "The swords on the battlefield are ruthless. You can't take all the responsibility on yourself. You decided to go to the battlefield to fight for the Yang family, and you were prepared for the worst. Wu Dong's spirit in heaven doesn't like to see you living in regret."
Wu Chun's voice was completely hoarse, "Uncle."
He knew, he knew everything. He forgot that when Wu Dong died, he smiled at him and said how glad he was to be alive.
Don't be fooled by my little brother's usual cheerful appearance. This guy knows everything. Not only did he save him because he is his brother, but he also believed that he is the hope of the Yang family.
Later, even Wu He was stabbed for him, but Wu He was lucky enough to receive reinforcements. However, Wu He was also seriously injured and did not participate in the subsequent battles. When he left the northwest, Wu He was just able to get out of bed.
Wu He knew that he was in pain and insisted on seeing him even though his wounds had not healed. Wu He said that he and Wu Dong were willing to die for him.
Zhulan's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and she asked in a hoarse voice, "Have you brought back Wu Dong's body?"
Wu Chun sniffed, "I sent someone to escort Wu Dong's body back to his hometown. Originally, I should have gone back with him, but the war wasn't over yet, so I couldn't leave. Later, I went to Beijing, and according to the time, I should have arrived at my hometown."
He didn't have that much money on him, so he borrowed a lot from the Zheng family.
Although there was a big battle on the border, there were also many desperate criminals. As long as they were willing to spend money and their lives were not in danger from escorting the bodies, they would be happy to do it as long as they had enough money.
Zhou Shuren patted Wu Chun, "You did a great job."
He knew about it. When the battlefield was being cleaned up, there were too many dead bodies. Some were burned on the spot, while the better ones were buried together with the soldiers after the battlefield was cleaned up. Only some military officers with high official ranks would be transported back separately.
Wu Chun had done a great job by bringing Wu Dong's body back from the battlefield and asking someone to send it home.
Zhulan was worried about her parents. They were old and she didn't know if they could bear it.
In Sunjia Village, Wu Dong's body has been buried. The old man is sending off the young man, and the Yang family is filled with sorrow.
Yang Dayong locked himself in the room for two days and called his two sons. Yang Dayong looked at his eldest son's graying hair, closed his eyes and quickly opened them, "Big brother, you must want to know why I left Wu Dong and Wu He alone!"
Yang Zhumu lowered his head, "Dad, don't tell me, I've already guessed it."
Yang Zhulin's eyes were red, "Dad, you are right."
Yang Dayong was also heartbroken, "Wu Dong and Wu He are both good kids. If you want to blame someone, blame me. They all listened to me. Wu Chun cannot die."
Yang Zhumu choked up, his old son, "Dad, I understand everything. Wu Chun is also Wu Dong's biological brother. Wu Dong was happy to save his brother. His son has no complaints."
Yang Zhulin, "My son has no complaints either."
Yang Dayong's hands were shaking. He had been on the battlefield and knew that life was not a matter of life and death on the battlefield. He had been mentally prepared for his three grandsons. It would be good if one could survive. Now that two are alive, he should be happy, but why does his heart hurt so much!
In Beijing, Yang Wuchun finally calmed down and was about to talk about his achievements when Boss Zhou came in and said, "Dad, Zheng Hong is here."
Zhou Shuren said, "Please come in."
Ahem, Yangyang thought again and again, it's unrealistic for all three brothers to be alive~~~~
