Chapter 449
Chapter 449
The old father of the Stark family had a stiff neck today.
Stiff neck is not a disease like toothache, but it hurts terribly. With a slight twist, the whole body is sore, and the pain caused by the unwilling struggle of the muscles is transmitted from the shoulder and neck to the brain, which makes people want to die on the spot.
Superheroes are also unavoidable from these minor illnesses and pains, and because they have accumulated a lot of root causes in daily fighting, it is easy to affect old injuries, and the outbreak is fatal.
Tony had a rare sleep last night. He never dreamed that 67 minions were following him and arguing for bananas. Instead, he dreamed of a happy holiday with Pepper on the island, Daisy beside him, sleeping obediently I mean, life is as beautiful as being a fairy.
If he could really live such a life, he would not care about being a fairy.
In the dream, Pepper was flipping through a magazine, and suddenly, the cover girl in the magazine became a photo of all the former exes of Tony Stark, and Pepper was furious.
"That's all in the past," Tony said.
"You still don't worry me now!"
The furious little pepper rolled the magazine into a baseball bat and slammed it quickly. The aim was really good, and it hit the chairman's fragile neck.
She was still so mighty, even in the dream, the strength was as real as Tony's personal experience, this reality made him tremble, opened his eyes suddenly, and escaped from the dream.
"You're awake, sir." said the butler.
The head of the family's early waking up seemed to surprise the housekeeper, he was silent for two seconds, maybe he was looking at his watch, and then praised: "It's only six o'clock, it's really early, sir, you're doing great today."
Even Daisy had just woken up and was pushing a small chair in the bathroom to stand up and brush her teeth.
"It's nothing." Tony said.
He originally wanted to go back to sleep, but when he heard that Daisy had already woken up, he thought it would be good to have breakfast with his daughter early on the morning of the weekend, so he turned around under the covers, ready to stretch.
The moment he turned his head, he seemed to hear a tense sound in his neck.
Followed by being immobilized like a frozen body, even if he was as tough and powerful as Iron Man, he couldn't help frowning fiercely under the covers.
He wants to take it easy.
Only two seconds later, the old father heard his daughter's footsteps coming from the door.
Daisy was very happy to hear that her father had woken up, her face was still stained with foam from brushing her teeth, and she was about to run over to say good morning to her father.
"Good morning, Dad!" Nen Nen's small voice arrived with the sound of footsteps.
Daisy didn't know that her father was struggling with a sprained muscle, only to hear a muffled voice from across the bed: "Good morning."
Tony wanted to get up, but just touched the quilt with his hands, and felt a black shadow in front of him. He looked up and saw his daughter flying up high, with an innocent smile, about to fall straight on him .
Father's love is as towering as a mountain, and father's love is as silent as the sea.
Daisy has devoted a lot of enthusiasm to her father, and she doesn't understand why her father responded so indifferently today, he just kept holding back a word from her, and even made faces at her.
"It's kind of weird, Dad," Daisy said.
By the time she knew the truth, it was already time for breakfast.
Wendy wrapped an ice cube in a towel and asked Tony to apply it on his neck.
"It's a matter of sleeping position." Wendy thought to herself.
"Is a stiff neck really bad?" Daisy asked.
"It's not serious," Tony said.
There are all kinds of steaming delicious breakfasts on the table. Only real heroes and stiff neck patients can keep their eyes on the delicious food.
"It will be completely healed in two days." Tony said.
Daisy couldn't help but sigh for her old father who was in trouble.
With stiff neck, it is painful to raise the head, it is painful to lower the head, and it is even more painful to turn the head.
Tony ate breakfast slowly.
After breakfast, the old father took a walk in the living room to digest his food, and continued to apply ice to his neck to make himself more comfortable.
"Daddy!" Daisy called from behind.
Tony wanted to turn his head, hesitated for a moment, or turned his whole body, and saw his daughter holding a soft hammer for knocking back, looking at him with bright eyes.
"I thought of a good way to help you cure your illness." Daisy said.
The muscles on the back can be tapped to relax, and the muscles on the neck can also be tapped to relax.
Daisy asked Tony to lie down on the sofa and waved a small hammer to beat her father's neck.
Tony rolled his eyeballs upwards, and seeing the child's heroic posture, he couldn't help sweating secretly.
"Be gentle, please," Tony said.
"I'll take it easy." Daisy readily agreed, "Don't be afraid."
However, when the first hammer hit, the father couldn't stand it. It wasn't that Daisy struck too hard, but that the muscles were too fragile.
People, sometimes it's just so disappointing.
Daisy wanted to swing the hammer again, but failed, Tony took the hammer from her hand first, and sighed: "Let me do it."
"Dad, am I just not doing well?" Daisy asked.
She looked a little sad and lowered her head.
"No." Tony said, "You have to do your own thing."
He didn't intend to let himself suffer from these flesh and blood pains anymore, but seeing Daisy regained her spirits because of his words, he encouraged him to push the hammer towards him: "Dad, you are great! Then you can beat yourself up now." hammer."
The encouragement and hope in those big blue eyes made adults couldn't bear to refuse.
Holding back a breath of pain, the old father began to thump on his neck.
Fighting fire with poison, the soreness of the muscles was temporarily released during the blow, which made Tony's eyes sparkle with pain and happiness.
Daisy watched her father seem to be getting better gradually, and there were some sparkles in his eyes.
Colonel Rhodes made a video call at this time. After the call was connected, he looked at the two father and daughter who were relatively tearful on the phone screen, and was shocked: "What happened?!"
Fortunately, it was a false alarm.
But life is full of surprises and joys, and the joy comes later.Rhodes said: "Don't forget the awards ceremony this afternoon."
The State University is going to award Tony and Rhodes the Achievement Medal. It has been agreed, and I will go to participate in the afternoon.
The award ceremony will not take a long time. The school hopes that through this short and solemn ceremony, it will give some encouragement to the students, so that everyone can learn knowledge and become useful to society in the future.
This is something that has been agreed a long time ago, and it is meaningful. Tony will not miss the appointment.
In the afternoon, Tony took Daisy to the state university by car.
"You wait for me in the background." Tony said, "Don't run around, agree?"
"I agree, Dad," Daisy said.
She carried a small satchel, which was full of snacks, enough to eat for a long time, and she was able to last until the end of the awards ceremony.
Iron Man in formal attire looks handsome and decent, occasionally frowning, revealing the deepness that belongs only to mature men.
No one knew why Tony frowned.
The award ceremony went well.
According to the usual practice, Rhodes and Tony were honored by the state university, and they wanted to say a few words to encourage the students. Rhodes spoke very well, and there were rounds of applause. A cautious prompt came: "Mr. Stark, please turn your eyes to the students on the right."
Tony turned right.
After a while, he said again in his ear: "Now please give some attention to the students on the left..."
Tony turned left again.
The staff of the university were very moved by Tony's attitude that he must turn his whole body. It is obvious that he only needs to turn his head, but he is so serious, which is worthy of being Mr. Stark.
After the award ceremony, Tony and Rhodes were surrounded by students, and everyone wanted to shake hands with the superhero, ask for an autograph, and talk to each other.
"Iron Man, I bought all your accessories!" A student said excitedly.
While talking, he also handed over a necklace: "Here you are!"
Tony thanked him, bent his neck with difficulty but calmly, and put on the necklace.
"I made you a unique medal of honor in the world!" Another hand stretched out again.
One to two to go, all things to hang around the neck.
These unbearable burdens in life, Tony endured one by one, with a smile on his face, thanked the students for their kindness, and left the stage when everyone was satisfied.
Only the superhero's neck is dissatisfied.
"Look at you, if you can't wear it, you can't wear it!" Rhodes said.
He wanted to show a little schadenfreude expression, but as Tony's good friend, he couldn't take pleasure in his misfortune after all, and took off all kinds of presents around Tony's neck.
"Come on, let's take your dad home." Rhodes said to Daisy.
Daisy also felt sorry for her father, so she gave Tony a piece of candy and comforted her, "You'll get better when you go home and rest, okay, Dad?"
"Okay." Tony said, "Thank you."
He intends to go home and sleep in the correct sleeping position.
This idea is very good, and it is not difficult to implement. The journey home was smooth, and not long after, the three of them were already standing in front of the gate of the villa.
"Look at your feet when you walk," Rhodes said.
Tony said, "I don't."
Bowing his head made his neck uncomfortable, the chairman kept his eyes fixed, the wind was blowing under his feet, and he hurried towards the house.
He strode into the door and strode down the hallway. When he passed the living room, he heard the buzzing of the vacuum cleaner. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Bob riding the vacuum cleaner and rushing here.
When Bob saw Tony, he didn't know why his mouth grew wide: "Dad—"
Tony heard that he wanted to brake, but it was too late—his high-end custom-made leather shoes had already stepped on a slippery banana peel, which made him lean back and was about to slip.
The moment he slipped and fell, he subconsciously turned his head and glanced at the exclaimed Bob.
What is ten thousand years at a glance, now I understand thoroughly.
The tense tendon in the neck snapped.
"Be careful!" Rhodes said.
He wanted to run over to help, but it was already too late.
At the critical moment, Tony was still self-reliant, reaching out to support the wall at the critical moment, and tenaciously standing firmly under the trap of the banana peel.
"Oh." Rhodes admired, "Good waist strength."
Daisy ran over quickly and asked with concern, "Are you okay, Dad?"
Tony nodded slowly and said to her, "I'm fine."
The old waist was saved.
But when Daisy ran up to her father, she could clearly feel tears flickering in her father's eyes after a sharp pain.
There is also good news.
That night, under Bob's delicate, powerful and comfortable massage, Tony slept soundly.
