Global Card Master: Start Awakening the Classic of Mountains and Seas

Chapter 203 Martyr's Medal

Fatty was lying there, his face had some small scabby cuts on it, but otherwise it was clean.

There were some holes in his military uniform, which were mended with needle and thread.

Those were very fine stitches. The person who sewed them for him had very good needlework skills, probably his wife or mother.

"I think it's better to let him go in this outfit, he will be satisfied. Comrade, since you all call him Brother Dong, I won't call you leader anymore. Comrade, my son is really not a deserter."

Old man Dong, who used to be a soldier, spoke earnestly, his voice a little hoarse.

"Yes, I know. We all know it." Jiang Ming's eyes were red. He let out a long sigh, then nodded, folded the note solemnly and put it away.

The sound of footsteps appeared behind me.

Dong's mother and wife appeared outside the door, standing on both sides of the door frame, looking at Jiang Ming and the others in the room with some uneasiness. Both of them had red and swollen eyes and pale faces.

I didn't have time to say hello.

"Pap tap tap."

The little girl who had locked up the sheep forgot to put down the bamboo shepherding pole in her hand. She ran over with it held high, and stopped at the door. She raised her head, turned her little head, and carefully looked at her silent relatives and the brothers she had just met, with a confused look in her eyes.

Her mother took her hand and pulled her to her side.

There were many things that they couldn't bear to say in front of the child. Jiang Ming and Fan Huai each called out "sister-in-law" and then stopped talking and looked at each other. Fan Huai walked over, took out his phone from his backpack and played a video, then squatted down in front of Xiao Qiying and tried his best to say gently, "Have you seen this?"

Xiao Qiying took a look at the content of the video and shook his head.

"This is very beautiful. I'll take you outside to see it." Fan Huai said as he stood up, stretched out a hand and opened his palm.

There was light in the little girl's eyes, full of expectations, but she was very sensible. She hesitated for a moment, turned around, and looked to ask the adults for their opinions.

"Go, girl." Grandpa, grandma and mom all said.

"Okay." Little Qiying's eyes lit up and he placed his hand obediently in Fan Huai's.

Two figures, one big and one small, walked out of the house and walked towards the grass slope on the side. They found some stones and sat down, one on the left and one on the right.

The little girl thought the bamboo pole was a bit in the way, so Fan Huai looked at her with a smile, took it, and stuck it directly into the grass next to him, making it stand upright.

The breeze blew the strips of cloth on the bamboo poles.

Little Qiying sat down again, tilted his head, and looked at Fan Huai's hand with curiosity and anticipation.

Fan Huai held the phone in one hand and swiped through the list of children's videos with the other, asking her what she wanted to watch.

Jiang Ming and the Dong family turned their gaze away from the grass slope.

"When is Brother Dong going to go up the mountain?" Jiang Ming asked, recalling what was said in the countryside in his previous life.

"Tomorrow. It's hot now." Old Man Dong paused and said, "I'm getting old, so I'll make a coffin for him. Don't worry. I'm a strong farmer. I know he was a soldier in the battlefield. It's a great honor for him to be able to come back to his hometown to be buried."

Because of this sentence, Jiang Ming opened his mouth and choked. He slowed down and nodded: "Then the two of us will stay for one night, representing the troops and seeing Brother Dong off ourselves. Do you think it's okay?"

"Okay. Okay!" the three members of the Dong family said in unison.

At dinner, Fan Huai directly gave the cell phone to Xiao Qiying.

Feng Cheng and his friends also came.
When Feng Cheng heard the news, he went straight to his superiors, had a fight with them, and quickly forged a martyr's medal, then rushed over in a flying vehicle.

They also had some cash on them, so they stuffed the money into the Dong family's pockets and asked about their family's situation.

The Dong family refused to accept it.

Old Dong said, "You guys are still young, and you and your family need more money. I think now, you all need to spend money to buy cards."

"Yes, we don't lack anything at home. In our village, everyone lives like this, and there is not much to spend. He even sends me jewelry every year, but I don't even have time to wear it."

My sister-in-law wanted to help shirk the responsibility, but as she spoke, tears started to fall and she couldn't continue.

"You must move with us this time, and this is also a token of our appreciation. You must accept it no matter what, Uncle Dong, sister-in-law." How could Liu Zhong not know Fatty Dong's situation?

"Yes, it's our duty. We would feel even worse if you don't accept it." Fan Huai also helped out. This was perhaps the only thing he could say as a teenager of eighteen or nineteen years old.

Only then did Old Man Dong take the money in silence.

What Feng Cheng and others said is right.

They were going to live in a strange place, far away from the grassland where they had lived for generations. He could not think about himself or his wife and daughter-in-law.

But his granddaughter... needs it.

After a while, Old Man Dong suddenly poured a full cup of homemade rice wine for Jiang Ming and the others, and then picked up the cup himself.

He seemed a little hesitant, but very serious.

"Well, I have something I want to ask."

"You ask." Feng Cheng said immediately.

"That's right, Grandpa Dong, just tell us if you have any problem. We will do whatever we can." Seeing that the old man looked a little embarrassed, Fan Huai hurriedly said.

"Okay, then I asked. I have also awakened my natal card. Do you still need veterans in this secret unit?"

Old man Dong's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked at Jiang Ming and the others anxiously but firmly.

"." The people present were stunned. They thought that Old Man Dong had something difficult and wanted their help. They were ready to do whatever they could, no matter how difficult it was. But they never expected that the old man in front of them, a veteran, would ask such a question. Veterans are of course needed by the Federation, but the age limit is very strict, no more than 50 years old.

Old man Dong also knew clearly what they were facing, and Jiang Ming saw it even more clearly. He was an old man card master of the Black Iron level, and he wanted to avenge his son personally.

From their expressions and eyes, Old Man Dong could tell that they were going to refuse, and said in a panic, "Although we have won the battle now, there are still many strange beasts in the wild that need to be cleared, right? I will go to the battlefield temporarily, and you can take it if you want, right? I really was a soldier, I am serious and courageous, and I can go to the battlefield. Although my rank is a bit low, I heard that there are many high-tech weapons now, I can learn, really, I also have a military medal."

Feng Cheng tried to take a few breaths, raised his head and interrupted: "I'm sorry, Uncle Dong, you are too old now. You see, this is a pity. If it was a few years earlier, our army would have had another good soldier."

"But I'm in good health. Now that I've been promoted to Black Iron, I'm able to do any kind of work. If it really doesn't work out, I have two brothers in Tianjiao who are working in the city now. They can also help me."

"I'm sorry, Uncle Dong, the army has its rules, this won't work."

Jiang Ming couldn't help it any longer, he raised his red eyes, interrupted him forcefully, and made the decision for Feng Cheng and the others.

Hearing him say this, and knowing that this young man was the leader of this group of people, Old Man Dong's expression fell. He hesitated, then lowered his head to drink the wine, then raised his head and tried to smile.

…………

At night, I went back to the aircraft and set up a tent and slept there.

The next morning, early in the morning, Jiang Ming and his friends went to Dong's house again.

Old man Dong was standing in the yard with a knife in his hand, releasing his elemental energy and demonstrating the move cards his son bought for him in a serious manner.

Seeing them appear, the old man rushed forward and slashed with all his might, breaking the stone in front of him.
Jiang Ming and others saw all of this, but they could only pretend not to see it.

Fat Brother went up the mountain, and Jiang Ming and several of his comrades-in-arms and Old Man Dong carried him together.

After being buried in peace, Feng Cheng placed the martyr's medal, which he had obtained with great difficulty, in his grave.

When they were going down the mountain, Xiao Qiying walked among Jiang Ming and the others, looking up: "Mom said that Dad is leaving and will be a soldier forever, right?"

Jiang Ming held her hand and tilted his head: "Yes, I have to be the boss forever."

"So is dad good? The last time he came back, everyone said he was really good."

“It’s amazing.”

"Very impressive, we all have to call him Brother Dong."

"Oh~ So now that he's gone this time, will he not be able to come back to see me for a long time?"

"."

"Yes, but he will definitely remember to write letters and send things home. When Qiying receives a letter, a school bag, or a hairpin in the future, you should know that your father misses you again. He hopes that you dress beautifully, eat well, study hard, and grow up well."

"Yeah." Xiao Qiying nodded vigorously.

"Then when I grow up, can I also join the army and go find my dad?"

Faced with this sentence
Everyone was silent.

"There will be a chance, but your current task is to study hard, understand?"

Jiang Ming picked her up and put her on the new passenger aircraft.

"Um"

Xiao Qiying remembered Jiang Ming's face clearly.

The aircraft began to climb rapidly, leaving only Jiang Ming and a few others waving goodbye to the Dong family.

Wait until the aircraft disappears from sight.

Jiang Ming and his companions then returned to their aircraft.

The Dong family will be brought back to Dongping City by Feng Cheng and others to start a new life. With such a special investigation bureau chief protecting them, there is no need to worry about their future.

They were just four young men, about eighteen or nineteen years old.

After experiencing this scene, everyone was shocked to varying degrees.

"I made a decision."

Sitting in the chair and looking at the scenery below, Jiang Ming suddenly spoke.

"What to decide?"

The only one who could speak to Jiang Ming at this time was Fan Huai.

"Take a break for a while." Jiang Ming turned his head and looked at the three curious people.

"What rest?"

“A real break.”

The old man who is still on the battlefield in the Raya Mountains is currently in a meeting.

A message from Jiang Ming suddenly popped up in front of me.

Without thinking, I replied him with one word.

"it is good."
