The battle at the training camp, the determination that was shown by burning down the mountain, really appealed to Darren.
Besides, he still injured himself. It makes sense to visit him.
"Darren, is it!"
Huǒ shāo shān (Fire Mountain) looked at Darren who was carrying a fruit basket, first stunned, then immediately reacted.
He smiled a little sheepishly and introduced himself to Darren:
"Darren Jr., this is my old man."
"Father, this is Major Darren."
Darren smiled politely at the grumpy old man:
"Hello, excuse me."
……
In the courtyard, there was planted a maple tree. Its fiery red leaves were fluttering in the cool wind, breathtakingly beautiful.
"Why don't you stay in the hospital a few more days"
Darren placed the fruit basket down and sat casually on the steps, looking at the bandaged Fire Burning Mountain who looked like a zongzi. He asked,
The Navy Headquarters provides free medical care to all Marines. Officers of the rank of captain or higher enjoy even better medical care and rehabilitation conditions, such as private wards.
Huǒshāo Shān smiled and scratched his head:
"The injury wasn't serious, so I won't trouble the doctors and nurses."
He pointed his mouth towards the kitchen.
"Besides, I'm not too comfortable with the old man being alone either. As you saw, his eyes aren't so good."
Darren nodded.
He glanced quickly at the neat, well-maintained yard. A few scruffy kittens were dozing under the trees and by the wall.
A yellow-haired stray dog suddenly ran out from the house and came to the fire-stricken mountain, licking his hands and wagging its tail like a fan.
Then Darren suddenly understood how the cat scratches on Mountain Fire's arm had come to be.
"Do you like animals" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Huǒshāo Shān rubbed the head of Huáng Gǒu, smiling gently:
"It's not that bad, it's just that sometimes when I see them wandering outside, eating inconsistently, it makes me feel a little uneasy."
Darren fell silent, fished out a cigar and offered it to Huǒ Shāo Shan.
"Can I have a smoke"
Huoshaoshan glanced at the golden cigar, then calmly accepted it.
"Sure."
So the two of them just sat on the steps, puffing away.
"Young man, stay and eat. The meal is ready."
At this moment, the blind old man walked out of the kitchen and shouted to Darren.
"It's rare for this sullen, reclusive kid to have a friend come visit, so don't refuse."
Darren smiled and didn't refuse.
Okay.
The dishes were simple, just home-cooked meals, but Darren ate happily and enjoyed the warmth he had never experienced before.
After dinner, Huo Shaoshan automatically took over the washing up, leaving only Darren and his father at the dinner table.
“My mischievous little rascal has caused you quite a bit of trouble, hasn't he”
The blind old man suddenly broke the silence, pulling out a crumpled pack of cigarettes and offering Darren one.
Darren shook his head.
"Actually, it's the opposite. I caused quite a bit of trouble for Headmaster Huǒshāo."
As they talked, he subtly glanced at the middle-aged man in front of him, whose aura was filled with a sense of weariness.
In his or her late forties, the face was etched with the marks of time.
Dark-skinned, with calluses covering his hands and a striking scar that ran from his left eye diagonally across to his right cheek.
As if sensing the gaze of the young man, the older gentleman pointed to his own face and grinned, a smile that hid ferocity and menace.
"Don't worry, I didn't let that pirate off easy either."
Darren was stunned.
"Young man, listening to your voice, you must be a resolute and decisive person...That's good."
The blind old man was smoking and suddenly started to feel sentimental.
"My son is too soft, you see. He's a sailor, and every day he brings stray cats home from outside. I want to throw them all out... Young man, can a boy with such a temper kill pirates"
Darren exhaled a plume of smoke,
"You're overthinking it, Admiral Mountford is a very capable naval officer."
His resolve to defeat the pirates was stronger than anyone else's.
He paused for a moment, then smiled and said:
"And you probably don't know this, either Colonel Fire Mountain took fifth place in this year's training camp."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The blind old man fell silent upon hearing this.
By this time, the fire had finished washing the dishes and returned.
"Kids, you talk," the blind old man said gruffly, then stood up from his chair and walked out of the room.
Huǒshāo Shān smiled awkwardly:
"Sorry, the old man's temper... is a bit odd."
Darren smiled and said it was okay:
"No, he's a really nice guy."
Huoshao Shan fell silent for a moment, then suddenly asked:
"Darren, during that battle... you didn't give it your all, did you"
He stared intently at the naval rear admiral, awaiting an answer.
"Yes."
Darren was outspoken and didn't mince words.
Huǒshāo Shān let out a somewhat regretful sigh.
"I thought I had mastered a new sword technique, enough to keep up with you monsters..."
"You will."
Darren was not stingy with his praise.
A person who dares to strike at the powerful is always worthy of respect.
"That knife attack was already very strong."
"Really"
A fire burned before my eyes, and everything was illuminated.
He pondered for a moment, as if suddenly remembering something. His excitement was palpable as he turned to Darren and said:
Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!
"That... you know my dream is to become a hero like Captain America, a real man!"
"Heroes' moves always have a cool name, but I've been racking my brain for days and can't come up with one… Darren, could you help me name that slash"
His expression was filled with the passionate naivety of a middle school teenager, which caused Darren to smile involuntarily.
To put it simply, the fire that was burning mountains at this time was nothing more than a young man under twenty years old.
What do you think…
Darren recalled the decisive and stunning firelight on Schoolyard Hill, he pondered for a second before smiling faintly:
"The name of that blade is 'Burning Mountain'. What do you think"
……
After a brief chat, Darren didn't stay long and bid farewell to the fiery mountain.
As Darren approached the courtyard gate, he noticed his father, with a face as grim as Mount Fire, emerging from the kitchen. He held a large pot of steaming chicken and rice, grumbling under his breath as he bent down to portion it out for the cats and dogs.
Darren smiled upon seeing this, turned his head and waved goodbye to Huoshao Shan.
"Darren!!"
After walking a distance, the shouts of "fire mountain" suddenly came from behind.
Darren looked back.
Only a young man with short hair, completely wrapped in bandages, could be seen standing under the fiery red maple tree. He faced the sun and punched himself hard.
"I will keep working hard, and one day, I will catch up to you monsters!"
His eyes were full of fighting spirit, glittering with sweat and sunlight.
"I will make that blade, along with my name... resound throughout the world!"
Darren was taken aback, then laughed heartily.
"Okay, I'll wait."
……
Every brilliant and magnificent life,
Every mature and aging soul,
There was once a young man who sweated and punched wildly under the scorching sun.
This vast and boundless sea has become magnificent and radiant because of such fervent youthfulness and pure dreams.
