Chapter 1: Yang Tao

"Second brother, is the sky blue today?"
"um, yes."
Above a bungalow in an ordinary small village in southern China, there were two figures of a man and a woman lying. They all leaned back against the thatched roof, put their arms on their backs, and enjoyed the slight south wind in the morning.
The girl named Yang Ling is very petite, and her face is slightly yellow. It seems to know that it is with a trace of morbidity. If you look closely, you will see that the girl's eyes are a bit hollow with a grayish color.
But the girl had a sweet smile on her face, very happy. Because her second brother who was a soldier came back, he was by her side at the moment, telling her what color the sky she couldn't see.
"But second brother, can I ask you one more question?" Yang Ling turned his head, as if her blind eyes could see Yang Tao lying on one side.
"Well, ask."
Although he knew that the little girl couldn't see it, Yang Tao still opened his slightly closed eyes, and a happy smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Did you come back secretly, I know, your military service time has not yet arrived."
Yang Ling spoke strangely, but suppressed the voice very small. As if for fear of being heard by others.
"Ha ha……"
The smile on Yang Tao's face suddenly became far-fetched, a bit more astringent.
It took me two and a half years, after a layer of selection and elimination, and was baptized by countless blood and fire, before he reached the position of a frontier scout.
Border jungle, tracking drug dealers. Alone, the radio is silent; if you can't bring more supplies, it will affect the march, and the poisonous beast is your own food. Gunshots can't be sounded casually, it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble, and the dagger is his best partner. Such a state is completely commonplace for myself.
However, the drug lord just kept going, and his best brother was accidentally shot and killed. At that time, Yang Tao didn't hold back, and he ran for hundreds of miles on his own. After three days and nights, endless tracking, he found the murderer's nest.
catch him? Let the law come to trial? Then closed for a few years, or was dug out? What a joke, my brother Yang Tao, can't die in vain! Therefore, Yang Tao went crazy, exhausted all means, and directly wiped out the drug lord stronghold...
Because of this, it alarmed neighboring countries...
Because of this, I ignored the rules of word formation and acted without authorization...
Because of this, I changed from my normal retired major or continued to stay in the army, and became expelled...
"Second brother..."
Yang Ling's voice had a hint of anger, and he had been asking questions for a long time. But he never got the answer from the second brother, which made Yang Ling a little bit temperamental, and the slightly pouted little mouth could explain everything well.
"Of course not. Didn't the second brother tell you. The second brother actively applied for early discharge."
Yang Tao recovered, and a smile appeared on his face again. I said the words I said to other people in advance again.
"But Brother Erzhu said..."
"Little sister, little brother, come down to eat."
Yang Ling wanted to say more, but it was interrupted by another voice.
A figure of a woman walked out of the thatched hut. The woman looks like she is about twenty-two or three years old, and she looks pretty good. His face also had a sweet smile. This is Yang Tao's older sister, Yang Jing.
Yang Tao's family consists of five people. Dad Yang Lidi is an honest craftsman. I usually do a little work; my mother Li Li is not in good health. It was said that it was a problem that fell when Yang Ling was born.
But for the Yang family in Yundong Village, getting along with others can be considered harmonious. For example, if people are looking for work there, they usually come to Yang Lidi.
First, because Yang Lidi was honest, he did a good job; second, because Yang Tao's late grandfather was a Chinese medicine doctor. The entire Yundong Village, when the old man was there, came to see him when he had a problem.
No, Yang Lidi went out to work early in the morning, even if he didn't have time for breakfast.
"OK~"
Yang Ling weakly agreed. This tone was completely different from the tone of the tone that he had just spoken to Yang Tao.
It seems that Yang Ling has guilt in his heart. It's hard to imagine a seven-year-old girl with such a mentality.
"Sister, come on."
Yang Tao raised Yang Ling's little hand, a wry smile crossed his face. How can he not know the reason for this?
Everything is the matchmaker.
Originally thought it was a good marriage to the eldest sister Yang Jing, who was in the next village. The family is also very wealthy. When the matchmaker talked about this marriage, everyone still thought that Yang Jing was beautiful, and Yang's reputation was not bad.
But it was only later discovered that the other party turned out to be a fool.
But at that time, the gift money left by the other party had already been spent to treat the younger sister Yang Ling. At this moment, even if you want to divorce, there is no gift money, this is also a problem.
And these days, the other party's people have come here several times. Since the marriage has been settled long ago, the other party naturally wants to get married as soon as possible.
But how can the Yang family agree, that's a fool... Let Yang Jing stay with a fool all her life? How can that work!
If it hadn't been for Yang Tao's return a few days ago, and he had been discharged from the army, the opponents would be a little scared, and maybe the neighbors would have come here to use them.
But Yang Ling always thought that he had harmed the eldest sister. If it wasn't for treating oneself to heal the eyes and spent all the money, then their family wouldn't need to be like that. Just return the gift money, and there won't be as many things as it is now.
"Okay, little sister, didn't the second brother talk about it? The second brother will figure out what happened to the elder sister. The younger sister's eyes will surely be cured by the second brother."
Yang Tao whispered comfort in Yang Ling's ear, then directly picked up Yang Ling and went to a low place on the side. Handed Yang Ling to Yang Jing, who was on the side. After finishing all this, Yang Tao turned over and jumped off the roof.
"Second brother, is what you said is true?" Yang Ling was led by Yang Jing and slowly walked towards the thatched house, but just hearing Yang Tao's words made her heart full of hope.
"Definitely. When did the second brother fool you?!"
Yang Tao slapped his chest hard and gave an affirmative answer.
"Huh, just about leaving the army..."
Although Yang Lingren is small, his eyes are not good. But the heart is bright. She could feel that her second brother definitely didn't tell the truth about the issue of retirement just now.
But when he thought of his eldest sister by his side, he stopped immediately.
"Haha...little sister, second brother won't lie to you. When the second brother finishes the meal, he will get some bird's nest for you first. This is the good thing in this mountainous area. Second brother will make up for you later. ."
Yang Tao said with a grin again. Since he is back, he should do something for his relatives. The younger sister's health is not good, and the mother's health is not good. If you can get some bird's nest, it is one thing to be able to make up for a few people. If you can get a lot, you should be able to sell it for a good price. In this way, you can refund the gift money and help the eldest sister to divorce.
Now he was fired, and the original resettlement fee was gone. Money is a very important thing to Yang Tao's family...
"Second, you just said you are going to get bird's nest?" Mother Yang's worried voice came directly from the thatched house...
