Hearing the old man's words, Tang Luo's heart quivered again.
"No blame, no one to blame, that lad just had a rough fate," the old man said, shaking his head, his cloudy eyes twinkling with tears.
"Uncle..."
Xiang Chuan wanted to comfort the old man with a few words, but after calling out, he didn't know what to say.
He couldn't understand the pain of 'the elderly sending off the young,' but the anguish of losing a comrade cut him to the core!
Initially, he had personally selected Tiezhu from among the new recruits.
This rural kid from a remote area wasn't the smartest, but he was the hardest working!
For instance, during a test to break bricks with one hand, Tiezhu's hand came down on the brick, which remained intact while his bone split.
This incident spread throughout the Zhonghai Garrison Command, almost becoming a joke.
But a month later, at another assessment, Tiezhu managed to split six bricks in one go, almost breaking the garrison's record!
