"Then, how do we go back?" Xiaobing was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and when he was curious about everything, he heard the squad leader say that he wanted to go back. He immediately retracted his eyes and stood at attention.
"If you have a car by car, or a boat by boat, you will definitely be able to go back." The squad leader stood up straight and bowed to Shen Changan: "Little comrade, thank you, we should go back."
Shen Changan paused for a while, "I wish you all to return to your hometown as soon as possible and reunite with your loved ones. If there is an afterlife... I hope you will be safe and happy in the afterlife, and no more disasters and wars."
When his voice fell, five young men in ragged clothes slowly floated up, and they saw themselves flying higher and higher, and they saw the capital bathed in sunlight.
High-rise buildings, crisscrossed roads, and densely packed cars were once called rare objects.
Things that were once unthinkable in a dream have all become reality here.
The four soldiers who did not know they had been killed in battle gradually recalled that they were not lost, but perished with the enemy.
They are dead, and with New China, the common people are living a good life.
Thinking of this, they were relieved again.
Shu Province, which is more than 1,000 kilometers away from the imperial capital, has just welcomed back the ashes of a group of martyrs. The names of these martyrs are registered on the yellowed roster of soldiers out of Shu.
Before dawn, these urns covered with the national flag were buried in the Martyrs Cemetery.
These martyrs have been lying in a foreign land for 80 years, and finally have the day to go home.
Outside the cemetery, dozens of veterans of the Anti-Japanese War were standing or sitting. Their eyes were blurred, their teeth were lost, and their hair was gray, but their nostalgia for their comrades was not broken.
A ninety-six-year-old old soldier, supported by his grandchildren, gently stroked the name on the martyr's monument, "Old guys, go home."
"Zhao Zhuer, Qian Erwa, Zhou Dong, Li Changgen, Zheng Qiang, Pei Qingsheng..." The old soldier's voice was a little hoarse, but he carefully identified the names on it, his hands covered with age spots, and wiped each name gently After, "Heroes, go home."
"Go home."
He still remembered the slogan that was often on his lips at that time.
"The enemy army does not leave the country for a day, and the Shu army does not return home for a day."
"If you win the battle, you will return in triumph. If you don't win the battle, you will return the body wrapped in it."
"Old folks, we've won, it's time to come home in triumph."
When the old soldier read it back, his voice was so hoarse that he could hardly make a sound.
"Toast a bowl of hometown wine, and let's go together as brothers in the next life." Another old soldier took out a bottle of old treasures that had been treasured for many years, shook his hand and placed it in front of the tombstone, "Back then when we agreed to come back together, you lied and went out of your way. , lie down in a foreign country first. After so many years, we have come to pick you up."
"Soul, go home."
"I often come back to the old wine of my hometown, and the fragrant meat of my hometown. In the next life, life will be happy and worry-free."
Wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, the old soldier looked up, and in the blurred tears, he seemed to see those comrades in arms back then, and walked towards them with friends and companions.
They were still young, but they had new suits, new belts around their waists, and the leather boots on their feet were greasy.
"Come back."
"We're all back."
The old soldier rubbed his tearful eyes: "It's good to come back, it's good to be back."
The breeze is coming, and there are still shadows of comrades-in-arms.
But he believed that their heroic souls had found peace.
After the five heroes of the Anti-Japanese War disappeared, Shen Changan looked at Dao Nian, then at Shen Tu who was with him, and rubbed his sour eyes: "Did you see the person standing in front of me just now?"
Shen Tu turned to look at Daonian, who slowly shook his head twice.
"This matter may be unbelievable to you, but the truth is sometimes so miraculous." Shen Changan pushed Dao Nian towards the parking lot, "How about we go to the car and talk slowly?"
"it is good."
Back in the car, Shen Tu drove silently, and in order to let Shen Changan whisper to his husband at ease, he also thoughtfully helped raise the baffle in the car.
"I saw five people just now, right in front of us." Shen Changan specially emphasized, "I have no problem with my brain, and my mind is very clear."
Summarizing what happened just now, Shen Changan said, "I know that you are a materialist. Out of respect, you shouldn't show this kind of behavior in front of you, but..." He paused for a moment and continued, "But In the face of their five martyrs, I cannot turn a blind eye to them."
After saying this, Shen Changan thought Dao Nian was shocked, questioned, or refuted whether there were ghosts in the world, but Nian's face was calm, as if Shen Changan was talking about what he ate in the morning.
"You... have nothing to tell me?" Daonian didn't have much reaction, Shen Changan was relieved, but also inexplicably disappointed. This reaction was too calm. When his three views were broken, he tossed and turned. all night.
"What?" Daonian thought for a while, "What gift do you need to bring to visit your elders?"
"You don't have to worry about that, I'm ready." Shen Changan said, "Those grandparents, uncles and uncles don't have much pursuit of material things."
Because they are all TOP cancers, they are more strict with their spiritual pursuits.
"I also prepared some at will." Daonian nodded, "Since this is the case, there is nothing to say."
Shen Changan: "..."
Can't we talk about the possibility and science of the existence of ghosts
After layers of strict security checks, the car that Shen Changan and Daonian rode in finally successfully entered the compound. The courtyard was still the way Shen Changan remembered it, with blue tiles and red walls, and the guards had both familiar and unfamiliar faces.
"Comrade, please show your ID." The young guard at the guard booth saluted Shen Changan.
"Chang'an?" Another guard came out of the courtyard, saw Shen Changan, and smiled at him, "Are you back?" Seeing that he was carrying a large bag and a small bag, the two strangers behind him also carried With all kinds of things, especially the one in the wheelchair, the whole wheelchair is full of things. The doorman routinely checked the things he brought back, "I haven't seen it for more than a year, I'm thin... strong."
The guard couldn't tell Shen Changan to lose weight with his conscience, so he had to say, "The teachers were still talking about you two days ago, so you came back." If you don't come back for half a year, wait for a few teachers to criticize you, but don't talk back."
"Don't worry, Brother Lu, they must be reluctant to criticize too harshly." Shen Changan took out a gift box from the big bag that Dao Nian was carrying and stuffed it into the guard's hand, "Brother Lu, this is what I brought from work. The Tuyi that came here, there is nothing particularly precious there, but the agricultural products are natural and delicious."
"Okay, let your sister-in-law cook and eat it when you go back." The guard sent Shen Changan to the gate of the inner courtyard and helped him open the door, "Go in, some teachers are playing chess in the courtyard."
The guard put his things down, gave Shen Changan an encouraging smile, turned and walked back to the guard post. The young guard who stopped Shen Changan to ask for the certificate asked curiously, "Brother Lu, who is that little comrade just now?"
"He was raised by the old experts in the yard. You didn't know when you first came here. These old experts in the yard have no descendants, so he is raised as his own descendant."
"Then what's the background of his family, so powerful?"
"What background, he's a poor child." Brother Lu came to work here on the first day, just the day Shen Changan was sent to this yard. He still remembered that when Shen Changan was brought over, it was a cold winter. He was wearing some rustic clothes, and his thin face was hidden under a scarf and hat, looking a little pitiful.
Only later did I find out that the child’s parents were deceased, and the grandmother in the countryside abused him again.
He watched this child grow up day by day, and watched him get better and better. Now that there is no him in the yard, the scolding voices of several old experts are not so energetic.
"Who are the two people who followed him in?" The young guard was curious, "Is it also related to the people in this yard?"
"Then I don't know. Since they can come in, it must be no problem."
As soon as Shen Changan's feet entered the gate, he heard quarrels and the sound of chess pieces hitting the chessboard.
Listening to this voice, it is not like playing chess, but more like smashing a chessboard.
Shen Changan, Daonian, and Shentu stood at the door, but no one gave them a second look.
"Grandpa Wang, Grandma Zhao, Grandma Chen, Grandpa Yang..." Shen Changan shouted without pause, and several old people who were arguing turned their heads and looked over.
"Chang'an?" Grandma Zhao put her feet down from the stool, tidied up the shawl on her body, walked quickly to Shen Chang'an, and looked at him from head to toe, just when Shen Tu thought the two of them would have an affectionate hug At that time, the old lady reached out and slapped Shen Changan on the shoulder.
With a loud "snap", Shen Tu felt pain when he heard it. He turned his head to look at the teacher, who frowned slightly.
"You stinky boy, I told you not to go or not to go, but you have to go. You can't do any work with us, and you have to run so far." Grandma Zhao said, "When you go to the local area, are you used to eating and eating? The work is carried out well. Whether it went well or not, last time you said in the video, what bonus did you get?"
After being patted on the shoulder by Grandma Zhao, Shen Changan didn't dare to hide, he tried his best to coax the old lady, and then introduced Daonian to her: "I have been taken care of by friends during my time in Wuming City, this is me friend… "
"Just call me Xiao Nian." Daonian raised his hand and shook hands with Grandma Zhao, "I take the liberty to disturb me, please forgive me."
"Heaven, Heaven..." When Grandpa Yang, who had always been less talkative, saw Dao Nian, his hands were shaking, and he couldn't even control his instincts, and stood up respectfully.
Daonian glanced at him indifferently, and then looked away: "I met him for the first time, and I brought some modest gifts. I hope the teachers will not dislike it."
What did Daonian say again? Grandpa Yang's mind was in a mess. He just looked at Daonian blankly, guessing why he appeared here
Is it the research of a certain human being here that violates the will of Heaven and is punished by Heaven
Or did Tiandao find out that he was disguised as a human and wanted to arrest him for a crime
But as the way of heaven in charge of life and death in the world, what he wants to do is just a matter of raising his hand in the blink of an eye, so why should he go there in person
"Grandpa Yang, what's wrong with you?" Shen Changan shoved the gift box into Grandpa Yang's hands, "Are you in a daze again?"
Grandpa Yang looked at Shen Changan and slowly recovered.
Also, how could Changan be with Lord Tiandao? !
The author has something to say: Grandpa Yang: It's the 21st century, the monster Sifan doesn't break the law, does he need to let Tiandao come and catch me? !
