Chapter 45 Liu Dong and Tian Cun

Liu Dong never imagined in his dreams that the younger brother he misses day and night is actually Tian Cun.When he got the news from his mother, it was like a dream, and he repeated to himself: How could it be him? From the moment when the recruit company knew Tamura, all the past events about Tamura came to him.He thought of the time when he donated blood for Tamura, there were more than 100 people in the whole company, but only his blood type was suitable for Tamura.Is there such a coincidence in the world?He couldn't believe it all, but the facts made him unable to avoid it. After knowing that Tamura is his twin brother, he is very eager to see Tamura, and this desire becomes stronger and stronger.Although they would talk on the phone every few days, their thoughts at this time were like a raging flood, submerging Liu Dong in an instant.He didn't want to wait for a moment, he wanted to see Tamura immediately.When he came to the station, he didn't realize that he had boarded the train bound for the city where the military institution was located until the train started.It is only half a day's journey from the Thirteenth Division to the military office.Sitting on the train, he never felt that the train was so slow. His mind was in a mess, and he didn't even think about what to say when he saw Tamura, but he just wanted to see Tamura, the sooner the better.

When he knocked on the door of Tiancun's house, it was Su Xiaoxiao who opened the door. She stared at him blankly.He knew that Su Xiaoxiao and Tian Cun were married. At that moment, he was happy for Tian Cun and Su Xiaoxiao.Although he did not attend their wedding, he sincerely wished them well. At this moment, he stood at the door, feeling so flustered that he didn't know what to say.He said incoherently: Is Tamura there? Tian Cun responded in the room: Liu Dong, why are you here? He saw Tamura, this is his twin brother, and in an instant, his tears almost flowed out.He hurried over and supported Tian Cun.He said with a trembling voice: Tamura, are you okay?

Tamura smiled and said, "You can see what I look like now." Liu Dong looked into Tamura's eyes.These eyes were injured by Tian Cunshe's life and death to save him, and he was his younger brother and comrade in arms.Liu Dong finally couldn't help it anymore, and tears flowed out. Liu Dong's long silence made Tamura feel that something was wrong with the atmosphere. He deliberately said lightly: "Liu Dong, what's wrong with you?"Don't worry, even if my eyes can't be cured, I can live like a normal person after leaving the army.You see, I am not alone now, and there is Xiaoxiao, she is my eyes now.

Liu Dong hurriedly rushed to Su Xiaoxiao next to him in a disguised manner: Xiao Xiao, thank you very much. Su Xiaoxiao jokingly said: Thanks to his injury, otherwise I would not have had the chance to be with him. Tamura just grinned, very satisfied. Liu Dong looked at Tian Cun in front of him. This was his brother whom he had been thinking about day and night. The two were close at hand, but they couldn't recognize each other.He could only stare at his younger brother silently. When we broke up that day, Tamura insisted on sending him to the door.He walked away step by step, but tears blurred his eyes again.

When I got home, it was already late at night, and my mother still didn't sleep.Hearing his movement, mother stood up, opened her mouth, wanted to say something, but didn't speak.He understood his mother's mood and sat silently beside her. The mother asked in a low voice and eagerly: Did you see your brother? He nodded.Mother didn't speak, she was silent, she had a lot to ask, but she didn't know where to start.After a while, the mother said quietly: "What does your brother look like? Does it look like you?" Liu Dong knew that he could not clearly describe his younger brother's appearance, and he didn't know how to answer his mother, so he chose to remain silent.

The mother rubbed her eyes vigorously, and said wistfully: If I can see your younger brother's current appearance, even if my mother dies tomorrow, I will be content. After hearing what his mother said, Liu Dong felt very sad.The younger brother was found, but he couldn't see each other even though he was close at hand. From then on, Tamura's topic became the focus of my mother's life.When Liu Dong was at home, she asked Liu Dong about Tiancun; when Liu Dong was not, she asked Liu Sanhuan. Mother's questions were detailed, from Tian Liaoshen to Yang Peipei, and then to Shi Lan and Su Xiaoxiao, she asked all the people and things related to Tian Cun.Knowing that Tamura was injured twice and Shi Lan died, her mother couldn't take it anymore. She cried and said, "What a miserable child. I didn't suffer when I was young, but I suffered when I grew up."Son, mom is sorry for you, you have suffered so much, mom didn't even get to take a look...

After Liu Dong came back, the first thing his mother asked was: Did you talk to your brother on the phone today?What did he say? Liu Dong could only say: Mom, don't worry, everything is fine with him. He could only comfort his mother in this way. He couldn't talk to Tamura on the phone every day. He had to restrain himself and let himself communicate with Tamura as before.Several times he picked up the phone and put it down again, he didn't know what to say to Tamura. That day, when Liu Dong came home, he found that his mother seemed to be worried again, and she was always crying at the window.Seeing his mother like this, he knew that she was thinking about Tamura again, so he comforted him and said, "Mom, when Tamura's eyes are cured, I'll bring him to our house so you can take a good look at him."

Mother didn't speak, shrugged her shoulders, and cried harder.Sitting beside his mother, he didn't know how to comfort her for a while.After a while, the mother raised her head and said: "Your brother has been found, but your brother is still in prison. He has no term. I'm afraid he won't be able to get out of prison in this life." Brother Liu Shu has done everything that should be done for this family.First for him to serve as a soldier, and then for the happiness of his sister Liu Cao, he owes his brother too much.Thinking of this, he lowered his head in front of his mother.

The mother said: "Your brother has been found. I want to tell your brother about it. He will be happy when he finds out." Liu Dong accompanied his mother to visit the prison once.When Liu Shu knew that his youngest brother and Liu Dong were comrades-in-arms, he was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.He murmured: Is there really such a coincidence in this world? Sure enough, Liu Shu was excited.He seemed to be talking to his mother, but also said to himself: This time it's okay, our family is finally together. But after he knew that Tian Cun was almost blind in order to save Liu Dong, he fell silent again.After a long time, he stared at Liu Dong and asked: Is his eye hopeless?

Liu Dong told Liu Shu about the difficulty of waiting for cornea donation, and Liu Shu stopped talking.He raised his head and looked at the ceiling, tears streaming down his face.While weeping, he said: My brother was found, but he couldn't see him. The mother said from the side: My cornea doctor said it was useless. If my cornea was good, I would have given it to your brother. Liu Shu looked at his mother, and seemed to have something on his mind. The mother said to Liu Shu, "Wow, Shu, Mom came all the way to tell you that your brother has been found."Although we haven't met each other yet, he is your younger brother after all. Telling you will make you happy, and you have something to look forward to when you stay here.

Liu Shu suddenly asked Liu Dong: If Tian Cun's eyes are cured, how long will he have to wait? Liu Dong shook his head: There are too few people donating corneas, and no one knows when they will have to wait. Liu Shu didn't speak anymore, until the end of the prison visit, he sat there without saying a word. A few days after Liu Dong and his mother came back from prison, Liu Dong suddenly received a telegram from the prison.The content of the telegram is very simple: come quickly, brother. Liu Dong didn't know what happened to Liu Shu.When he showed up again in prison, he first went to see the warden.The superintendent looked excited and handed him a piece of paper.This is Liu Shu's application form for donating his cornea, with instructions from the leaders at all levels of the prison.Based on the overall situation, the prison leaders affirmed Liu Shu's approach.The warden took Liu Dong's hand and said: Although Liu Shu is now a reformed prisoner, his behavior made us feel the love in the world. When Liu Dong learned that Liu Shu was going to donate corneas to Tian Cun, he didn't react for a while, suspecting that he was dreaming.It wasn't that he didn't believe Liu Shu's actions, but was shocked by his actions.For the sake of this family, my brother has come to this point, and what he thinks of is this family and its relatives.At that moment, he shouted in his heart: Brother, why are you doing this—— When he saw Liu Shu, he still hadn't come out of that emotion.He grabbed his brother's hand and said: "Brother, I don't agree, it's me who wants to sacrifice." Liu Shu shook off his hand and said coldly: Nonsense, Dad left early, I am the eldest brother.Seeing that you can live a good life, I am very happy for you. Liu Dong said with tears in his eyes: brother, you have paid too much for us and this family, you can no longer sacrifice yourself.Brother, I beg you. Liu Shu didn't look at Liu Dong, with a calm expression on his face.Ever since he knew that Tamura needed corneas, he was determined to exchange his corneas for his brother's light.What he didn't expect was that his decision was supported by the prison. He turned his face, looked at Liu Dong and said: Dong, brother is a prisoner now, and he has no term. I'm afraid he will have to stay in prison for the rest of his life.Both you and Tamura are promising, my brother is happy to see it.I asked the prison doctor that the cornea of ​​one eye is enough, and I still have one eye, so nothing will be delayed.Brother has made up his mind, let you come today to let you know, so that you can prepare yourself.Don't tell Mom about this, and don't tell Tamura either. Brother, why are you doing this? Liu Shu smiled and said: Because I am your elder brother. Liu Dong knew that brother's decision was an order.Since my father passed away, my brother has been in charge of this family. It used to be, and it still is now.
