Chapter 2: The Weary Child Returns Home

  Our website reminds book friends to pay attention to rest their eyes.

  Zhang Yu's sickbed was like a mummy, leaving only a pair of black eyes full of apologies and a broken heart...

  "Older brother, since things have already happened, I think you should cheer up a bit. After all, this isn't your responsibility. Since you chose to be a soldier, it means you're willing to make sacrifices."... Si Hai seems to have become especially good at comforting people lately...

  Can't comfort others, every day with this sulky gourd, I have to find some topics for myself!

  "Uh-huh, I see!"

  "Ah, right, boss, Yu Mian Lang and Gui Jiao are also almost done, they might come to see you in the next two days! These two kids respect you more than our leader!" Si Hai changed the subject, but looking at the 'old big shot' lying on the bed with a 'dead heart', his eyes still had some unmanly tears!!

  Zhang Yu didn't say a word, just smiled and pulled Si Hai's hand, giving him a reassuring look.

  "Little fish"... This time, the four seas did not shout "Zhang Yu Lao Da", but slowly said out the real purpose of coming today; "Do you know what the organization has planned for your next move?"

  "Hehe, no way I'm going back to the Mobile Task Force"

  Zhang Yu smiled helplessly;

  If it's this kind of smile, Zhao Sihai would rather not see it!

  "Little fish, you... alas; considering your current situation, the unit has specially approved that after you've recovered from your injury, you'll be arranged to return home first. After a period of rest, it's possible that you'll be transferred to the National Special Forces, and at that time, we several will strive to get you assigned to the third squad."

  "It doesn't matter, as long as I'm still a soldier, that's all; what I fear is being directly discharged, then it would be more troublesome to seek revenge later"; Zhang Yu's eyes revealed an unwavering determination...

  "Uh... never mind, no matter what you do, we brothers will support you. By the way, the whole army's grand martial arts competition is about to start next week, I'll get some internal information for you then."

  "Going home, going home in this state, I don't know what they will think"... But with my current situation, going home for a trip might be the best choice. After traveling to all corners of the world, Zhang Yu not only felt some bitterness;

  ………

  Two days later, the gauze was removed. Although Zhang Yu didn't look in a mirror, he knew that apart from his face and a small part of his front, everything else had been implanted with artificial skin. Zhang Yu only felt a chill all over his body.

  Today, there were many people in the hospital, not only Yu Mian Lang Jun, Gui Jiao and his two brothers, but also a fiery red-haired non-mainstream girl. According to Si Hai, this is Dong Fang Ye, the leader of their third-year group. However, Zhang Yu found that this girl didn't seem as terrifying as Si Hai and the others had said. At least she gave Zhang Yu a sweet smile and gently said: "Thank you..."

  Just as he was leaving, he dropped a sentence that made Zhang Yu extremely bitter: "Next time you come to our third group, I'll teach you some anti-wolf skills, so you won't be bitten by those cat-like and dog-like beasts again, it's almost like you're becoming a fake person!"

  "Hey, don't mind him! She's always talking like that, but she's actually got a good heart." Four Seas said this only after the Dragon Girl had left for a long time...

  "Little fish, what are you going to do next?" Li Duo Sheng asked from the side.

  "Go back home!" Zhang Yu thought for a moment and said:

  "What's wrong, aren't you going to watch the military district's grand martial arts competition? You know that your friend Qiangzi is a hot favorite!" Si Hai interjected, but judging from his tone, this guy seemed to be looking forward to watching a monkey show...

  "No"... Zhang Yu shook his head and said:

  "Alright, you see when you want to go back, I'll make arrangements."

  Li Duo Sheng said:

  "This afternoon"

  "Let's go, I'll send you back this afternoon!"

  ………

  If you were born with a golden key, you're not even qualified to breathe with your nostrils facing the sky. But if you were born holding a mountain of gold, then even if you fart in the face of heaven, no one dares to say a word...

  In the scorching May sun, even Zhang Yu in the cabin felt a bit stuffy, but didn't know if it was due to heartache or other reasons. Looking at the familiar city below, Zhang Yu returned after nine months, only with scars all over his body and mind...

  At 4:30 in the afternoon, the plane landed accurately at SL International Airport. Under Li Duo Sheng's arrangement, a CK Warrior military vehicle had been waiting on the dedicated channel!

  After a simple handover, Zhang Yu and Li Duo Sheng's entourage headed towards the city that belonged to them; "I'm back, I've returned with scars of guilt and shame, do you still recognize me?"

  As he became more familiar with his surroundings, Zhang Yu's heart grew increasingly unsettled! Not bearing the glory of victory but carrying the scars of battle; not filled with honor but weighed down by guilt, Zhang Yu didn't know how to face his loved ones...

  The car didn't enter the original neighborhood, but was driven to a farmhouse in the suburbs. At the entrance of the farmhouse, Zhang Yu had already seen those familiar figures; Liu Nainai, He YeYe, Chen Ayi, Li YeYe, and Li Nainai. Their eyes were all fixed on him...

  The car stopped steadily, Zhang Yu gently pushed open the door, trying to hold back his tears, but the faint glint of water at the corner of his eyes betrayed all his disguise.

  After greeting relatives one by one, Zhang Yu walked towards his grandfather and maternal grandfather with some confusion.

  "Grandpa... Grandfather", Zhang Yu slowly walked in front of his grandfathers and called out with deep feeling:

  Grandpa stepped forward and tightly held his grandson's hand; "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back...... Let's go home first"!

  "You... go back and tell Zhu Chengde that old rascal, if anything happens to my grandson, his precious National Special will be finished..." After a brief pause, Zhang Yu's father-in-law stopped Li Duosheng, who was following behind Zhang Yu with a package.

  Li Duo Sheng and Zhang Da mouth stared at an old man wearing a white vest and pulling floral pants, but they didn't suspect the old man's words at all, because their country's head was called "Zhu Cheng De": "One of the two signatures on my own green book is Zhu Cheng De, and Zhu Bu Chang is actually scolded as an old boy. My god, what kind of monsters are in this family?"

  ！

  Just as Li Daosheng swallowed his saliva, Grandfather Zou Tianqi continued to add a sentence: "If this matter Zhu Chengde that old rascal doesn't give me a reasonable explanation, heh heh, then I'll take Yan Long and play inside your Red Wall, I believe Yan Long would be very happy oh"……

  Li Duo Sheng didn't dare stay any longer and ran away in a hurry, even forgetting to put down Zhang Yu's salute.

  I'm done! Even Li Duosheng, who was sitting in the car, couldn't help but feel sad for Guo Te! "Mom, Xiaoyu, my eldest, you mustn't have any accidents! Otherwise, our few teams will all come to accompany you! Yan Long, damn it! China's Dark Emperor, the world's third-ranked superpower! The sum of Guo Te's first, second, and third teams isn't even enough for others to play with!"

  If national special forces are the sharp blade of a country's handling of special events, then Flame Dragon is the solid shield of the entire nation. He alone can represent the dark world of the entire nation and also represent the strongest power of the nation! With his own strength, he swept through Japan, defeating over 1,000 living powers, including 50 upper ninjas from Iga and Koka, 10 ghost ninjas, two heavenly ninjas, and one divine ninja. He ultimately defeated the current world's seventh-ranked Japanese Heavenly Master, Yagyu Munenori, and returned triumphantly!

  For over a decade, no one from abroad dared to set foot on this land of China again!

  ………

  Zhang Yu didn't care how sad he was in his heart, nor did he want to show it in front of his relatives. He pushed open the door of the unfamiliar house and saw his grandmother and great aunt preparing dinner. Zhang Yu quickly walked over and shouted, while also taking a piece of cured meat from the plate his great aunt had prepared, warmly calling out: "Grandma, Great Aunt..."!

  "Hehe, I said who dared to steal food, our dear grandson is back from visiting relatives!" The grandma showed a pleased smile!

  "How can you stay in the army for so long and even forget how to wash your hands? Go wash your hands quickly, grandma knew you were coming back today and specially left a big chicken leg there for you."

  "Thank you, grandma! Thank you, aunt!" This was a heartfelt thank you. At this moment, Zhang Yu seemed to have forgotten all his physical pain, and with a slightly greasy mouth, he smiled on the left and then on the right.

  "This little stinker, as soon as he came back, he occupied our wife", a white mist rose in the eyes of the grandfather who followed behind and entered the house;

  The old man beside him looked back, shook his head gently and patted his shoulder: "Old buddy, are you scaring the little warrior again?"

  "What's the point of intimidation? That little Zhu, he's made a mess of the fish, I didn't directly go and flip over their old nest, that's already giving them face..." Grandpa said viciously, but when looking at his own grandson, he put on an innocent expression.

  …………

  "Slow down your eating and have a sip of water."

  Grandma brought a cup of lukewarm yogurt, which was Zhang Yu's favorite flavor. He dipped his fried chicken leg in it and drank the yogurt, even though it wasn't good for his body, but Zhang Yu just loved this taste!

  "Hehe, sister, look at our Ah-yu, he's really grown up a lot!" Grandma said to Nai Nai, but the tears in her eyes were well hidden, otherwise she would have hugged Zhang Yu into her arms and enjoyed the warmth of family love!

  Not long after, his father and mother also came back from work and sat down at the familiar dinner table. Zhang Yu felt that this trip home was worth it. No matter how bitter, tired or painful he was outside, as soon as he returned home, he could always find a warmth that belonged to him. There were only two or three dishes for dinner, and after gnawing on a large chicken leg, Zhang Yu just drank some porridge. He knew his own body...

  "Follow me to the study room, Zhang Ru you come too"... After dinner, Grandfather led several people to that unchanged study room which had been moved over...

  Zhang Yu also knew that the original community was going to be transformed into a villa district, and the construction party had put forward a condition that still made Zhang Yu incomprehensible - each household would receive a fully decorated villa as compensation, with a guarantee of no additional costs in the future, and on top of that, each household could also receive a certain amount of pension every month.

  Perhaps seeing his son's puzzled expression, Father Zhang Ru lightly handed over a "you'll know later" look to Zhang Yu and pulled him to sit quietly in the study room where the basic layout hadn't changed.

  This time Zhang Yu didn't go to make tea for Grandpa and Grandfather because after his father patted him lightly on the shoulder, he went himself...
