Chapter 5 Take Care(1/2)
The volunteers who were about to go to war in Caccino were all given a holiday and went home to visit relatives and say goodbye.
In those ordinary residential buildings in the city, the mother of Lin Jun pilot Jin Dong prepared delicious meals and tried to make a good face, although her eyes were still red and swollen. However, her husband had a lot of hope for joining Lin Jun's son who was about to go to war.
"Adong, you are already an adult. You have your ideals and ambitions. Since you have made the decision, it's great, Dad supports you! But you have to make a contribution to our old Jin family. The children of the old Marin family next door have been said to have become the army pilots of Lin Zijun, and you are flying fighter jets. You are one by one... You have to be higher than Marin's family!"
"Of course, the most important thing is that you have to come back completely and peacefully. It doesn't matter if there is less military medal. You are about to become the heroes of Caccino. I am still waiting for you to come back gloriously and enjoy your blessings!"
Jin Dong's mother, with red eyes, spooned delicious food in a spoon, and scooped it into the plate of the handsome young man who had grown up from a stingy boy. "This is your favorite stewed beef from radish since you were a child. Eat more, and don't know if you can eat it... Alas..."
In a two-story suburban cottage lined by majestic beech trees, Lieutenant Zorro is saying goodbye to his family.
"Little Zorro, remember what I said to you. I heard that the Eagle Country girl is very beautiful! You will marry one of your parents when the time comes! You won't be in vain to help us Eagle Country brothers this time!"
Zoro, who had dark skin, sunny and tall skin, grinned, "Remember, I will definitely bring you a beautiful Eagle Country wife home!"
In a traditional and chic estate, the wealthy Lin Army officer Dick is having an embarrassing dinner.
On the dining table, the middle-aged man with a serious media exposure was depressed, "It seems that your mother and I decided to send you into the government to be an officer, which was an extremely wrong decision. You could have taken over and strengthened the industry, but you chose to become a soldier and let your brother bear the pressure of the family, but now you have to fight for another country. What are you thinking?"
The middle-aged woman on the dining table dressed dignifiedly, but her expression was also solid. Dick was wearing a military uniform, and the younger man beside him put down his knife and fork.
Dick looked up and looked at his stern father, saying, "You have seen the video of Tuoba Gui and the Xipang people jointly preparing to divide the Caccino... Then how can you say it has nothing to do with it? The Xipang people defeated the Eagle Kingdom, and the next goal is us! If we stand by, we will incur such a fate."
Dick's father was obviously speechless for a moment, but after a moment he was a little angry and angry, "It's not your turn! I heard that there are so many recruits, so many people want to join the army to fight. As an officer in charge of the government, it's better to defend your territory. There is no need to go to the Eagle Kingdom to fight."
"If everyone thought this way, wouldn't we have been waiting for death? You said that there are so many people who have such awareness that we can save us from danger. These are the hopes of Caccino. As for you, you will only use this old and corrupt thought and take care of your own peace. If everyone thinks like this, I don't want to be like our country one day falling apart and destruction, because we have faced the opportunity to change, but we are numb and stand idly by, but no one has ever tried for it!"
"Dick, how can you talk to your father like this!" Dick's mother said in a stern voice.
"You... are bastard!" Dick's father slapped the table.
Dick turned his head without saying a word and left the restaurant and went to his room.
The meal ended in a bad mood. When I finally packed my luggage, the young man who had been following his butt since childhood and could now stand alone came to his room. "You know, father, he has always been like this. Wars are going to kill people. He just doesn't want you to have any problems."
"I know." Dick nodded, "I didn't blame him at all. Maybe it was because I said too much. There was no overnight revenge between father and son. But my trip, my father, mother, and family business, will be handed over to you. I know this is actually very unfair to you."
Although young, but already an outstanding pillar of the family, the younger brother sat on his brother's bed and said, "I know you are protecting, you are protecting our peaceful life now will not be as turbulent and violated as the Eagle Kingdom. During the days you left, I will take good care of my father and mother, but you must know that I will never give you the part that belongs to you, so you must come back. And we will keep watching you from the TV. Wherever you go, where you fight... I will proudly say to everyone that there is my brother among those people!"
Dick got into the car at the door, and in front of the window on the second floor, his father watched him leave. When Dick's mother returned and went upstairs, he was still angry. "How could he say that, no father would really be willing to push his children to the battlefield. Even if he pretended to be open-minded, who would really be willing to let me go? I am "old and corrupt"?... If this kid, if it weren't for him growing up now, I would slap him twice with this retort..."
His wife came forward, gently held his arm, and whispered comfort.
After his wife's comfort and his emotions gradually calmed down, this man, who had always been extremely strict at home, sighed, "How good he should be that boy... In this way, I can control him, and he will not leave us..."
The wife looked up at him and said, "Idiot, how can we keep him forever... Actually, he is right, isn't he?"
Dick's father looked at the empty block outside the window and nodded slightly.
***
Thousands of young people who are similar to Jin Dong, Zorro, and Dick, no matter what kind of family they come from or what status they have, have joined the Lin Army for a common goal and are about to embark on a journey to set off a cosmic vortex.
During this "Family Visit Day", the soldiers and officers who are about to go to the expedition are saying goodbye to their families.
But when Lante returned to the familiar old residential building, his steps were a little heavy.
On the eve of preparing to go to war, he, who had already been selected as the Lin Army, decided to give up the journey.
He pushed open the door and his grandmother was cooking in the kitchen. He walked up, rolled up the sleeves of the Lin Zijun Pilot uniform that he had not yet taken off, took the onion that was being washed from his grandmother facing him, washed the green onion, cut the onion into minced it, and then took out the bright slender red peppers and mashed them. He washed the ginger in the basket and sliced it, and then sprinkled the scallions, chili and ginger into the boiled fish pot with fragrant and hot water.
Lante is extremely skilled in making these things because he has a very good cooking grandma. Even when he lives in the Roland venue, he can take good care of himself. Lin Hai praised the dishes he cooked at the beginning.
The food was served, and it was Lante’s favorite dish since she was a child. The fresh boiled fish was mixed with crystal clear rice fish roe, and the spicy and sour meat fried with colorful peppers, garlic cloves and white rice wine... The hearty meal, looking at the grandmother in front of her, Lante’s chest surged, and said, “Grandma, I won’t go to war anymore. I want to stay!”
"Stay," Grandma raised her head and looked at Lante, "What are you doing to stay... take care of me?"
"I'm not as far as you can't walk as you imagine! I can still go shopping with Aunt Zhang next door every day, and exercise in the community at night. There are so many TV series I can't finish when I come back. It's okay to be so lively for ten years. And what can you do here?"
"Your parents left early, thanks to my grandmother, you wouldn't be an orphan. You went to the mine to learn bad things from those wild children. But this was not when you were young. You had to wait for me to change your wet pants and cook. You are an adult labor force. You go out to make money when you should go out to make money. You have to take responsibility when you should take responsibility!" Lancet alone has raised her since she was a child, and her grandmother is definitely not a troublesome person. She is full of quarrel with the seller in the vegetable market for small profits. She is also the one who is more agile than most middle-aged women in order to buy discounted products. Others should not think of taking advantage of her at all. Often, many vendors are so troublesome that they can't turn around and avoid it when they see her, because you can't deal with an old woman who has to cut half the price for a few pieces of vegetable leaves.
But it was such an old woman who offered Lan Te a little by little.
Of course, what impressed Lante the most was the memory of playing with the child next door when he was a child, stealing money, and kneeling down and being scolded by his grandmother with a green bamboo thug. At that time, the whole residential building could hear his voice. Since then, the girl Lante had a crush on in the residential building, and the girl he had secretly loved in the residential building, who had watched him occasionally smile shyly, never paid attention to him again.
The reason is probably that his miserable appearance at that time completely broke the image in Xiaorou's heart. Since childhood, Lante did not dare to disobey his grandmother, but he was worried about this matter.
"I remember your dream since childhood was to become a mecha knight, but now you are close to your dream, but you have to accompany me to live the life of an elderly person every day! Are you really bloody?"
Lan Te felt as if she was back when she was told by a loud grandmother every day.
"When you were taken away by Lingwei, grandma, I was going to fight to the death. Later, I was stopped by my neighbors. Now everyone knows that your relationship with General Lin Hai is very different. Dema's aunt, Aunt Zhang, Uncle Urquet, often enviously said in grandma's ears that you are really promising. They all hurriedly introduced their relative's daughters to come over. Even Xiaorou, who grew up with you since childhood, has been asking you recently and asking me when you will come back from Lin Zijun and when will you have time to have coffee together... Grandma is proud of me having such a grandson! But now, you stayed for me, the stubborn old man, and you, a good friend, let General Lin Hai go to the battlefield alone. What will others think of you and what do you think of him? Do you know how your parents died?"
"It was killed by Lingwei."
Lan Tedao, his parents died in a purge. After the establishment of the autonomous region, Lan Te's parents joined the march in order to protest Ling Wei's high pressure and were both shot to death by the mechas that were shot at the crowd. Of course, that was about two years old. Since then, he has grown up and has not had a deep relationship with his parents.
"The wolves in the West will still come for us Caccino... Your brothers in the Eagle Kingdom are not only defending their homes, but also blocking strong enemies from our homes, so that we can't escape the war. When wars are to die, other children can die, but my grandson cannot die? If you no longer have the impression of your parents, I will never forget grandma! They were so young and compatible at that time. It was Lingwei who made the parents of a poor child die, and gave the death of both the parents of a poor child.
I left a child who was crying and scolding God. Why are you so cruel to me, an old woman? But it has no effect? Because as long as oppression exists, such a situation will never be avoided! General Lin Hai killed Tuoba Gui, which is very satisfying! It can even be said that he is the one who avenged your parents. If you just leave him like this and let him go to the battlefield alone, grandma will be deeply disappointed with you! How could I raise such a spineless guy!”
"grandmother……"
"We have not experienced enough of enslaved and oppressed life, too many! But do we still have to continue experiencing it? Grandma may not be able to live at that time, but I don't want you and even your children to experience it like this! The war was defeated, you at least fought and worked hard. If you just stayed with me, one day the Eagle Kingdom was forced to flock to us in Cacino! What's the use of being with me, the old woman? Do you watch us repeat the life of being oppressed by Lingwei and Tuoba Gui? At that time, would you regret it because even if it was a little bit of it that contributed your strength to the Lin Army?"
"Grandma is not very good at studying, but she doesn't have many great principles. But at least she knows that the universe is very big and life is very big, but she can't bear the pain and regrets in her life several times!"
"Grandma, stop talking!" Lan Te burst into tears, "I'll leave after you finish this last meal!"
"Bang!" Grandma knocked Lante's head with chopsticks and said, "It's the last meal before the war. When you come back in the future, if grandma really can't cook, it will be replaced by you and her granddaughter-in-law to take care of her! Grandma is waiting to hold her great-grandson!"

On the eve of the upcoming battle of the Lin Army, Chiba Hara Sei held a celebration. At the Roland venue, Audrey, known as the Phantom of Roland, will also complete her last performance here.
In the future, she will go to the Golden Hall, the top art hall in Mage City for her premiere. At that time, she will inevitably be dazzling, but everyone will remember the graceful figure of Chibahara Castle, the girl who never gave up dancing for her dreams.
The performance at the Roland venue was unprecedented. Although this was Audrey's curtain call at the Roland venue, it was not a farewell performance. In fact, after reaching the Golden Hall in the future, she is more likely to go to the various places of Caccino. If she returns to Chibaharu City, the Roland venue will definitely be the first choice. However, this does not prevent people who have always loved him from showing their support for her by purchasing tickets to attend the audience and observing them in person.
Audrey's performance was also a strong show for Lin Zijun, so Lin Zijun's volunteer soldiers with household registration in Chibahara Castle and even the area received electronic invitations for tickets. Some people might go to watch it, and some people might just watch live broadcasts on TV, and seize the last opportunity to get together with their families before going to war.
Of course, the legend of Audrey and Lin Hai's encounter is also a key news that the media in Caccino wants to dig three feet into the ground.
"The secret that the 'Phantom Dancer' and 'Caccino' have to tell - according to the revelation of Little Pepper, a reliable person in the Roland venue, they held hands together!"
"'Absurd, Audrey is getting more and more arrogant. She thought that making up rumors holding hands could create public opinion to kidnap Mr. Lin Hai? Although she is a little pretty, don't be so boring, okay? Did she know that Caccino is lined up to see Mr. Lin Hai. Among them, there are many girls who are more famous than her!' - A noble lady commented at a party."
"It aroused public outrage in the socialite world? "Why should she get so close to Lin Hai... Is it because of the many "care" of Lin Da who was a pseudonym Linda at the Roland venue? Sneak! According to my information, Audrey was accepting the pursuit of a mecha knight named Brunei. Isn't this really good? Audrey is a waste on two boats!" This is the exclusive content revealed to this newspaper by Hilton, the famous beauty of the hotel industry in Caccino... When our newspaper further asked Miss Hilton for the invitation to dinner to Major Lin Hai, she was rejected for confirmation, Miss Hilton's face immediately changed drastically and drove the reporter out of the room. We will follow up on the report further..."
"Exclusive news, Major Lin Hai recently rejected many invitations from the ladies of the famous Caccino family - he might like a man..."
“…”

The space stage at Roland's venue was beautiful and beautiful. Audrey was wearing a gauze dress, and the translucent white gauze was faintly visible to reveal her youthful and energetic body. She was supported by a magnetic belt, with one leg bent, and her knees were formed in a single foot, slowly floating and rising.
Dancers around them jumped out like elves while stepping on the rhythmic music scenes, jumping around them.
There is a light chasing light every ten meters on the edge of the stage, creating a circle of ripples. The dancers roamed past, and then surrounded them one after another, forming a huge garland. When hundreds of people were wearing the rhythm of the garland composed of dancers of various bright colors, it seemed that a living flower really bloomed on the stage, causing bursts of admiration.
Then the light chasing light on the edge turned back to the air at this time. Audrey fell in the snow-like light. The slender fluff on her face was exposed. Her two long, slippery legs looked like fairies just out of the bath. The breeze pulled the gauze skirt to charm the muscles, and her ink-colored pupils condensed with the spirit of the dancer. Her whole body seemed to have entered an ethereal state, without joy or anger.
The moment her feet fell to the garland below, her rippling smile and the "flowers" below bloomed at the same time.
Countless dancers swirled with precise steps, and even flew into the air around them, like the desolation of the flower god, and the "garland" turned into countless flowers, each of which was a dancer, overflowing from all directions, and it seemed like a firework exploded. These petals, bones, star dots, each petal, each of them was composed of dancers. Three hundred dancers fluttered in the sky around the stage, circling in the sky, dazzling and breathtaking.
This stage is composed of dancers and decorate the sky above the stage. Audrey, wearing white veil, dances in the sky, sometimes as cold as frost, sometimes as charming as the bones. Only she is the most three-dimensional and dazzling in the light and shadow, as if she is dancing in space. In this scene, countless people opened their eyes wide and were dazzling.
Lin Hai and Lante, who are in the best partition box closest to the stage, are also obsessed with watching it.
Lin Hai held the straw of the drink in his hand, his mouth wide open, and he never closed it. Not to mention Lante next to him, his eyes basically did not move more than half an inch away from Audrey's waist and long legs, and even the corners of his mouth were stained with saliva.
On the eve of the upcoming battle, Lan Te, who was driven back to the team by his grandmother, was driven by Lin Hai and went straight to the Roland venue. At the beginning, the two could only help in the backstage, and occasionally glance at Audrey's dancing at the front stage, and felt excited. Today, they could sit in the best position and watch the most beautiful dance on the planet.
A young man who had just defeated Tuoba Gui and had been named the new king. He was crowded in this private room with a man who was caught by his grandmother. The two of them felt inexplicably satisfied with "nothing in life" and "nothing else to ask for inexplicably".
"Lin Hai, can we save the Eagle Kingdom and finally keep the peace of Caccino?" There were wonderful performances on the stage, and people were full of love and fascinated. The planet of Caccino wished that every day was a festival. Chibahara Castle was gone without the depressing atmosphere of people who were indifferent to the Eagle Guard when they ruled in the past. People were taciturn and afraid that they would not pay attention to offending someone who had a relationship with the Eagle Guard, which led to the destruction of their families. There was only a sincere voice of greeting each other and a kind smile.
Peace and happiness are shrouded on this planet, and compared to the past, it is hard to come by.
Looking at all this, Lan Te seemed to have grown up and matured a lot at once.
"Yes, we will fight back the Sipon people and fight back any enemies who intend to get involved in this quiet area." The young man was serious and sure, and his eyes reflected the starry sky above the high-intensity glass cover of the stage.
"If one day, if there is really one day, the war is over, can we still be together like we are now? Even if you have become a general, I may just be a soldier." Lante turned his head and said, his eyes dark blue and deep.
"Then we will still do smart watches together, do some side jobs that make money. We can find a place to fish together, and watch a performance together like today. The war is over and the world has changed. At that time, we should have a lot of leisure time." Lin Hai held his shoulders.
"Lin Hai, we are brothers for life. No matter what happens in the future, I will stand by your side unswervingly, and I will protect you!"
Lin Hai smiled, "Good brother, life!"
Suddenly, the light dimmed, and they looked over, Audrey floating in the air, her eyes hanging closed.
That was the end of the dance chapter. In the extreme shock and breath-holding soothing, countless people filled with marvels in their chests applauded enthusiastically.
At this moment, Audrey, who had been closing her eyes, suddenly opened her eyes, and her originally half-hung ethereal gaze suddenly became agile and focused.
Lin Hai could feel Lan Te's body suddenly stiffen, and he was staring at by a pair of burning eyes.
Those eyes came from the stage, from the woman floating in the central light column.
At that moment, it seemed that all the time had frozen.
To be continued...
