526: Prepare an ambulance for the old man

As the competition time entered its final moments, the starting line became increasingly crowded.

“Dad, why did you come to participate too?” In the crowd, a university Student in his twenties was surprised to see his Father wearing a standard long-distance running suit.

Hearing his son's voice, his Father, Tang Jiazhu, shook his head and smiled.

How could he tell his Child that he was a member of the Wei Shi Alliance and that he came to participate in this marathon to push his limits and try to activate his talent?

“If you can come, why can’t I?” The Middle-aged man smiled and patted his son's shoulder: “When the race starts, you have to work harder.”

Hearing this, his son scratched his head honestly: “Dad, don’t worry, I’ve been preparing for this marathon for over half a month. I’ll definitely be in the group that runs the furthest and fastest!”

“No wonder you haven't been seen in the Tang Family these days.” The Middle-aged man said with a smile.

His son, however, said suspiciously: “That’s not right, I’ve been in the Tang Family all these days.”

“Grandpa and Great-Grandpa are not at home, and you’re not here either, Dad. The Tang Family only has us juniors and Eldest Uncle and Huo Ke's Aunt.”

“Uh…” Tang Jiazhu was unable to refute for a moment.

During this time, he had indeed been busy outside for too long due to the Wei Shi Alliance's affairs.

However.

This was all work done to become a powerful talented person, to protect his family, and to protect the people he should protect!

“Alright, the race is about to start. You said you prepared for a month and were so good, don't tell me you can't even outrun me, your Old Man who is almost fifty.”

“Dad, don’t worry, I will definitely surpass you!” His son said confidently.

“Good! Young people should be so energetic!” Suddenly, a loud voice directly boomed in the ears of the two Father and son.

Hearing this voice, both Father and son were startled.

Turning around to look, their breathing suddenly hitched.

“Grandpa? Great-Grandpa?”

The Middle-aged man and the young man exclaimed in unison.

In front of them was naturally Tang Weida, the first Student to arrive at Suburb Road after Yang Shou.

And when the two Father and son saw this Old Man, the oldest and highest in seniority in the Tang Family, their hearts skipped a beat.

“Grandpa, where is your wheelchair? Why wasn't Dad watching you?” The Middle-aged man asked with a tight heart.

At the same time, he carefully reached out and supported the Old Man's arm, fearing that he would be blown down by the wind.

After all, this was a 93-year-old Old Man, and he couldn't have any bumps!

“Your Dad? Watching me?” Tang Weida shook his head helplessly when he heard his grandson's words: “That Child is too weak, he’s still resting.”

“What?” Their eyes were full of confusion.

“Great-Grandpa, did you come alone?” The young man carefully supported the Old Man's other arm.

“Alone?” Tang Weida shook his head: “I came with my classmates.”

After speaking, the Old Man motioned for the two to look in a few other directions in the crowd.

Only to see.

Those classmates had already squeezed into the crowd.

Most of them even occupied the foremost starting line.

Seeing this scene, Tang Weida's good mood from earlier immediately sank.

These guys, in order to get a good ranking, really didn't let go of any distance!

“So you were catching up with Old Man classmates.” The Tang Jiazhu next to him nodded knowingly.

Then he looked at this Old Master in his nineties.

Compared to when he was sitting in a wheelchair and occasionally spouting a word or two, the Old Master's current state was much better.

However, these were ultimately just superficial phenomena.

No matter what, it couldn't hide the fact that the Old Man was already over ninety years old.

“Grandpa, I’ll find you a place. How about you rest and watch your grandson and great-grandson run the marathon on TV?”

“Your grandson will definitely get you a top three!”

“Yes, yes, yes, Great-Grandpa, Dad and I will find a resting place for you and your classmates. It’s crowded and noisy here.” The young man also nodded busily.

“Rest? The race hasn't even started, what am I resting for?” Tang Weida said, showing the bib number on his wrist: “In this race, you also have to work harder and not lose face for my Old Tang Family.”

“This…” Seeing the number plate on the Old Man’s wrist, the eyes of the two juniors widened.

After reacting, the Middle-aged man looked angry: “How could the organizers give a bib number to an Old Man over ninety years old?!”

“Grandpa, be obedient, just sit and watch this race, don’t participate!”

“And these organizers, giving you Old Man bib numbers! After the race, I will definitely find them and have a good talk!”

The Middle-aged man's tone was indignant, and he looked at his Grandpa with a tone that was more like coaxing a Child.

“That’s right, Tang Laoge, you just rest. Why take ranking so seriously?”

Not far away, Li Hongda was doing a sprint starting pose, and his voice came leisurely.

“Hmph! You think well!” Tang Weida pushed away his grandson and great-grandson next to him and went directly to the starting line.

The medicinal power brought by the Body Tempering Pill was still continuously pouring into his body.

After the frantic consumption this morning.

Now everyone's bodies still had about two-fifths of the medicinal power left!

“Grandpa, don’t think of doing anything foolish!” The Middle-aged man next to him was full of worry.

At the same time, at the other end of the race start.

Zhang Shan, who was concentrating on preparing for the race, was suddenly patted on the shoulder by a hand.

He turned his head in confusion to look.

Immediately, he saw his Grandpa's familiar face appear before his eyes.

However, unlike the Grandpa he had always seen.

The Grandpa in front of him had clothes covered in scratches from plants and marks from sliding on dirt and stones.

Looking at the wet clothes, it was as if he had swum in a river!

“Grandpa, did you really come?” Before, on the telephone, Zhang Shan thought that the Old Man was suffering from dementia and that saying he would come here was just nonsense.

“How did you get like this?” Seeing his Grandpa in this state, Zhang Shan no longer had the mood to compete: “Quick, let's go to the rest stop to change clothes and rest. I’ll call a Doctor to come and see you later!”

“Where are Dad, Mom, Uncle, and Aunt? Why aren't they by your side watching you?”

In Zhang Shan's eyes, his Grandpa Zhang Tongqian's appearance was most likely from a fall, and it was a very serious one!

Pulled by the young man, Zhang Tongqian displeasedly broke free: “Oh, you Child, I came to participate in the race.”

“If you take me away, what will I run?”

“Race?” Seeing the Old Master's bib number on his wrist, his eyes twitched: “Grandpa, stop messing around. I’ll call Dad and Mom and ask them to pick you up.”

“Hey yo!” Zhang Tongqian's face immediately turned black: “Haohao, if you keep stopping me and make me miss the first place.”

“Then I won’t calculate your major marriage matters for you in the future!”

Saying this, Zhang Tongqian came to the starting line: “Later, you just follow behind me and let me see your strength too.”

Zhang Shan behind him saw that the Old Master was so stubborn and helplessly supported his forehead.

He still took out his telephone and dialed an emergency call.

No matter what, when the ambulance arrived later, they would just take the Old Master away first!

At this age, even a slight bump would be infinitely magnified, let alone looking so tragic.

And in order to go along with the Old Man's wishes, he could only temporarily cooperate with him in acting.

Thinking this, Zhang Shan looked at the Referee in the distance.

Looking at the time, the race would start in just over ten seconds!
