Chapter 858: Notification of Death (Part II)
Meng Yuan's hometown is really far away, we took the train to the nearby town, and after meeting Zhong Xuan, we took the bus again, drove for about an hour, and still didn't arrive, we also walked for about an hour on the mountain road, during which I was always carrying Qingxuan on my back, I didn't dare to let Qingxuan walk the mountain road like this.
At last we saw a village, which was not very large, probably only a hundred people, and the houses were few brick houses, most of them were mud and stone houses, and the roofs were covered with hay.
As soon as we entered the village, almost everyone caught their attention, our clothes were so gorgeous that they were so different from their ragged clothes.
There were a few children at the entrance of the village who were playing, and they all came to watch after they saw us, and I looked at these children, and each of them wore clothes that were obviously small, as if they had been worn from childhood to adulthood, and each of them had their clothes tightened tightly, and their pants were all showing a small leg of the leg.
If you can say that this is a fashionable cropped pants in the city, in this kind of place, I am afraid that it can only be described as unclothed.
"Who are you, young man?" said an old man who came up to us, speaking in a dialect that I had to use a great deal of effort to hear.
"I'm looking for Meng Yuan's family, do you know where Meng Che's home is?"
"Meng Yuan, of course I know, you keep walking along this road, the brick house in the far north is their house, are you Meng Che's comrades-in-arms? β
"Well, I'm Meng Yuan's comrade-in-arms, I'm sorry for you. "I took Qingxuan and his party along this road, and on the way attracted almost everyone in the village to watch, and we people in gorgeous clothes are probably like monsters here. Finally, we arrived at the brick house on the north side, which is villa-level compared to the other houses here, not only a little bigger than the other houses, but also has a small yard in front.
"Qingxuan, you guys go out and have a look now, I'll go talk to his family, pay attention to safety. I walked into the courtyard of Meng Yuan's house, the door of Meng Yuan's house is also a rare wooden door in this village, I knocked lightly twice, and I heard the voice answering inside: "Come in." β
I opened the door and saw that the house was about half the size of our living room, and there were very few things in the houseβan old bed, a one-man tall wooden wardrobe, a table that looked like it had been used for many years, and a stove for cooking.
A woman was leaning on the bed and breastfeeding her baby, and I immediately turned my body around: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were breastfeeding." β
"It's fine. The woman gently took her rufang out of the baby's mouth, and then got dressed, "I've finished feeding, may I ask ...... you?"
I turned to look at the woman, the woman's appearance was very simple, there were no big highlights, and Qingxuan was completely different, this should be Meng Yuan's wife.
"Are you Meng Yuan's wife?"
"Well, I am, may I ask you to be. β
I sat on the bench next to the table: "I am your husband Meng Yuan's comrade-in-arms. β
"Ah, it turned out to be Meng Yuan's comrade-in-arms, I'm sorry, I'm still in confinement, and I can't go down and prepare something for you, I'm really embarrassed. The woman's face showed apologies, what a simple person this is, I know that my next words may be difficult to say, and if I say it, this woman must be difficult to accept.
"Are you alone? Isn't there anyone else to accompany you in confinement?"
The woman shook her head: "No, Aunt Wang next door will come to our house every morning after being busy, and then help me prepare food until noon the next day." β
"I'm here to tell you something...... I don't really know how I'm supposed to say that, but I know I'm going to have to face it sooner or later," your husband ...... Passed away. β
I kept staring at the woman's facial expression, I thought she would suddenly burst into tears, but I found that the woman was unexpectedly calm, she slowly shook her arms, as if to coax the child to sleep: "It's okay, in fact, when you said that you were Meng Yuan's comrade-in-arms just now, I already guessed what you might say next." And Meng Yuan didn't come back for more than a month, and he didn't come back when I gave birth, and I had long thought about what happened to him. β
Although there was a little crying in the woman's tone, it was not as heartbreaking as I imagined.
The woman smiled suddenly, took out a free hand to gently wipe away some tears from the corners of her eyes, and then hugged the child again: "Is there anything he wants to tell me, or what he wants to tell the child?" β
He said that he had chosen the child's name Meng Che, and he wanted the child to be as clear as the river on the border, and he wanted the child's fate to be as stable as the river. β
"Meng Che ......" The woman gently touched Meng Che's little head twice, "Meng Che, do you hear, your father hopes that you can be as clear as the river, and also hopes that you can be safe and sound for the rest of your life." β
The woman's tears slowly dripped down, but she still kept her senses: "He's ...... How did he die? Can you tell me about it?"
In this case, of course, I won't tell her the truth about Meng Yuan being killed by me, it's not because I want to evade responsibility, but if I tell her that Meng Yuan was killed by me because he was controlled, then I think Meng Yuan's image will be greatly reduced in her wife's heart.
"Recently, there is a very terrifying person, his name is Li Jiaxian, he controls a lot of high-ranking officials, rich people, and wants to make the whole world chaotic through these people, our task is to kill this Li Jiaxian, when Meng Yuan died, I was by Meng Yuan's side, we faced hundreds of enemies at the same time, but Meng Yuan did not flinch, he is a hero, and he is also a hero I have witnessed, and please wait for the child to grow up and tell the child, his father is definitely not a bastard who abandons your mother and son, his father is a real hero, a hero I admire very muchγ He saved the world. β
The woman's tears were still flowing silently, but the woman also smiled in her tears, and she gently touched Meng Che's head again: "Meng Che, did you hear what this uncle said, your father is a hero, he saved the world." β
