The Last Mecha

Chapter 16
The warm wine poured down his throat and into the esophagus, Wu Gou made a mistake, he once again regarded himself as the invincible Valkyrie a hundred years later, drinking like drinking water.

The moment the baijiu entered his throat, the strong stimulation of high-concentration alcohol made his body, which had never touched alcohol in the past 15 years, cough violently.

Wu Yiou suddenly smiled when he saw his son's embarrassment. In the past few days, he occasionally had the strange idea that he didn't know this 15-year-old boy. Only after seeing this scene did he feel that he was still a big boy in his family who had no experience in the world.

"I told you about the family history of the Wu family when I was young, I don't know if you still remember it."

Wu Gou nodded. He naturally remembered it, but he didn't say a word, because he knew very well that whenever his father mentioned it, he always liked to repeat it from the beginning, in order to let the children know and also for himself to remember.

"The ancestors of the Wu family were military officers. Your grandfather is the general flag in the pacesetter battalion, and there are dozens of people on the ground. The proudest thing in this old man's life is that when he heard that foreign enemies invaded, he transferred to the navy and went out for the country. , repelled more than a dozen warships of the Netherlanders. He had been trained by a Sanjia master in Cangzhou, and his spear skills were excellent. I was not as old as you at that time. Hearing him talk about how he jumped onto the deck of an enemy ship with a ring gun and killed those red-haired thieves without leaving any behind, it's really impressive."

Wu Yiou's tone was slightly drunk, the tip of his nose was reddened by the fire.

"I am looking forward to it. When I was younger than you, I made up my mind to serve as a soldier, and asked the old man to teach me how to practice guns. It's a pity that my talent is really poor. He said that I don't have the IQ to fight. Stupid, on the battlefield, I will be the first to die on the front line, since then I will not be allowed to practice martial arts as a soldier, and I will gradually give up that idea."

"Later, 40 years ago, the fleet of Breton aimed its artillery at Great Xia for the first time. At that time, the whole country had no reaction, and everyone thought it would be a fight. How could the kingdom be afraid of foreign barbarians? Until a few days Afterwards, the story of the war spread throughout Jiangsong, saying that our navy was defeated and the old man came back to recover from his injuries, his face was pale, his body was covered in blood, and he was covered in bandages."

"He said that the weather has changed. The Breton ship fired shells from a thousand yards away. It was very accurate. Once it exploded, there was a big hole. No matter how much water was poured on the fire, it would not be extinguished. After a few shots, the ship would be destroyed. It sank. The ship was running so fast that it didn't give you a chance to get close, let alone fight hand-to-hand. If it weren't for the reinforcements coming later, the Britannian warship turned around and ran away, and his life might be ruined on the sea."

"The old man has never suffered such a great humiliation in his life. He was always depressed when he was convalescing at home. Later, when the war was urgent, the army came back to recruit wounded soldiers who could fight. He picked up a big gun without saying anything. At that time, our family was full of 1 people. I don’t want to, but it’s a pity I can’t stop him. As a result, he left and never came back. I heard that he was extremely brave in the East China Sea. He quietly touched the foreigner’s flagship in a small boat and was shot several times. Cut off the head of the opposing officer with one life, and blew up half of the ship. Later, the army sent a pennant, which was burned to ashes by your grandma. It’s true that a woman’s family can’t accept it, but I know, it’s the old man’s fate and wish."

"'One of the great pleasures in this life is to hold a big gun and kill all foreign enemies.' The old man always liked to say that, I admire him very much, but it's a pity that I don't have that ability, and he won't let me be a big soldier to death. But I know that the old man's bravery will be passed down. You showed me yourself today, you have that ability, you are smart, you have a bright mind, and your temper is like his old man."

"To be honest, when you first told me the day before yesterday that you were going to take the martial arts exam, I didn't take it seriously. But in retrospect, you were serious at that time. I am very happy, the roots of my Wu family are still there This, especially right now, when the summer is ups and downs."

Wu Gou raised the wine glass, touched it lightly with his father, and drank it down in one gulp. This time, he was careful not to cough, but his face was slightly red.

The wine is not intoxicating, everyone is intoxicated, Wu Yiou's body swayed slightly, he looked at his eldest son, his eyes reflected the sparks of joy in the coal stove.

"But——" Wu Yiou said suddenly, staring at Wu Gou with slightly drunken eyes, "You have to remember, 'Why don't you bring Wu Gou and collect the fifty prefectures of Guanshan' is the long-cherished wish of the Wu family, but war is by no means what we expect The war made me lose my father, and your grandma lost her husband. I am very sad. My son, I am happy for you to serve the country, but I never want to see you exchange your life for a medal."

"Alive, work hard, you have the ability to go to college. Today Emperor Xia is a character, and everyone can see his iron fist. If it weren't for him, maybe the entire Jiang Song is now a foreigner. Follow him, you must be right. .I hope that my children will go to the battlefield without fear of life and death, but I look forward to them returning to their hometowns and bragging about their heroic deeds at the wine table. I don’t want those military exploits to be heard from others. My Wu family The eldest son, whether it is the battlefield or life, you rely on your brain. You are capable, so I don't care about you, walk your own way, the road under your feet can be paved, and Dad will pave it for you no matter what."

"Father, how much do you want to drink tonight, I will accompany you."

Wu Gou's expression was still as lonely as snow, Wu Yiou in the previous life had never had such a heart-to-heart communication with him, after all, he was just a young man who didn't know much about the world at that time, and the accident at home happened early.

If, if his family lived longer, perhaps he would have heard similar conversations in the past.

It's a pity that there is no if.

This meal was drunk for a long time, until the fire was extinguished, the moon hung on the tip of the tree, and the dream of the tree bird was disturbed by the two, everything was over. I could feel that Wu Yiou was really happy.

Wu Gou helped his father back to the room. After drinking the medicine, Xu Qiuyu's complexion improved a lot. After saying good night to his mother, Wu Gou went back to his room.

As soon as the door was closed, his eyes became deserted again, he first pressed Guan Chong and Zusan to relieve the alcohol, and then sat cross-legged again, with a pot of boiling water that he had boiled for himself on the stove while drinking just now.

Tonight's practice will not stop.

No matter how moved he is, no matter how much he enjoys himself, he has to face the cold reality. Now his strength is still insignificant, and the reason for bringing disaster to the whole family in a few months has not yet been discovered.

Obstructed and long.

Wu Gou has a strange feeling. Since returning to this era, his childhood self and his emotional memory a hundred years later have gradually merged, and there is a subtle, weird and contradictory feeling that cannot be explained. Sometimes he does not know how to treat the relatives around him as They who have passed away in the previous life are still irrelevant newborns in this life, or...
The only thing he knows is what to do.

Wu Gou also did this night's nourishment for a long time, the sooner the better, he hoped to get his physique into a state sufficient for martial arts training.
