Chapter 1: Bad News Arrives

Next Chapter

Before February 1932, news of the invasion of Shanghai by foreign enemies spread all over the country.

When the news spread, Coriander was boiling loaches from the rice fields caught alive by her brother Coriander in the kitchen at home.

The hunchbacked second uncle of the Lin family, who brought this news, stood at the door of the simple stove room, his slightly rickety body was like a barrier, blocking the daylight of Bai Sensen in winter, making the interior of the stove room a little more hazy than usual.

He looked flustered, but there was a subtle hint of joy hidden in his eyes.

Before the coriander holding the spatula could react, he heard a "bang", and when he looked back, he saw that it was the coriander sitting on the wooden pier and the burning stick in his hand fell to the ground, accompanied by a few dried rice leaves.

The green face that had not yet opened was full of fear, and after a while, Coriander came back to her senses, and the whole person bounced up from the wooden pier, and swept in front of the second uncle of the Lin family like a gust of wind, and grabbed the second uncle's shoulders with both hands like iron hoops.

"Second uncle, what are you talking about!?" Coriander didn't seem to believe her ears.

The second uncle of the Lin family flashed with pain on his face, glanced sideways at the two hands on his shoulders, and said in his heart that this hand strength can be possessed by a seventeen or eighteen-year-old child.

Coriander was born in the fishing water town, with a handsome appearance, with the unique weak temperament of the southerners, and the warmth and jade are like a scholar.

Don't be deceived by his appearance, as long as he opens his mouth, the rough voice reveals his true nature, and the whole style of painting changes......

The coriander on the side was still looking at the dishes in the pot, lest the vegetables paste in the pot, and put the braised loach into the bowl slipperily, so he wiped his hands and walked towards the coriander.

She was at a loss in her heart, Second Uncle Lin just said a word when he entered the door, why did he provoke such a big reaction from coriander!

At that time, the people who didn't see Second Uncle Lin heard his voice and footsteps, and heard him say in such a hurry: "Fight, fight, little Japan has hit Shanghai!"

Coriander, who has long been reborn, of course knows that in the 21st year of the Republic of China, on January 28, the Japanese army attacked Shanghai on a large scale, and the "January 28" Anti-Japanese War broke out.

This fishing water town is in the south, and it is 180 kilometers away from Shanghai, even if the war really ignites, little Japan will not be able to fight here, just rush this point, and the coriander will live their little life with coriander with peace of mind. Although the life is a little harder, Parsley only seeks peace in this life, not for glory and wealth.

Coriander patted Coriander's stiff shoulder and comforted her slightly, "Brother, what's wrong?"

"Our dad works in Shanghai!"

It turns out that this is the reason why the coriander is so anxious to get angry.

Coriander remembered that Lin Sihai, the eldest of the Lin family, that is, her and coriander's father, had been working abroad for many years, but she didn't expect that the place where he worked was in Shanghai.

This time there was a military turmoil in Shanghai, it is said that many people died in the city, and Lin Sihai's safety is unknown, and under the shackles of family ties, coriander is naturally worried about him.

Probably because the blood was thicker than the water, the coriander couldn't help but feel anxious, but it didn't mess up like coriander.

One of her hands pressed on Coriander's shoulder, as if to convey his strength, "Brother, don't worry, listen to what the second uncle has to say." ”

Perhaps it was coriander's appeasement that played a role, and Coriander gradually calmed down, but her eyes stared directly at Second Uncle Lin.

As soon as Coriander let go of his hand, Second Uncle Lin took two steps back in embarrassment, rubbed his faintly painful shoulder a few times, glared at the Lin family brothers and sisters without a trace, thinking about the purpose of coming here, gritted his teeth and held back his anger, and showed a worried look, "Little Japan hit Shanghai, and many people died, and I don't know if your father is still alive now-" Speaking of this, he lowered his head and sighed regretfully, then raised his head, met the gaze of coriander, and immediately turned his head to look at the coriander.

This girl fell into a fish pond more than a month ago and almost froze to death, after being rescued, she was like a different person, and she didn't know what was going on, Second Uncle Lin didn't dare to look at her eyes.

The coldness in her bright eyes was even deeper than the coldest part of the winter of the year.

Seeing Second Uncle Lin's eyes dodging and her coriander frowning lightly, she always felt that Second Uncle Lin had bad intentions on this trip.

Second Uncle Lin's acting skills exploded, he squeezed out two tears, and said in a choked voice: "When such a big thing happens, I don't know if your father is dead or alive...... Otherwise, if your brother and sister go to Shanghai, if your father really has an accident, your brother and sister will collect his body, at least he will be at ease on Huangquan Road! ”

Coriander was infected, and her eyes were red, and she was busy supporting Second Uncle Lin, who seemed to be overly sad and crumbling. The uncle and nephew almost hugged their heads and cried!

Seeing the scene of coriander and Second Uncle Lin falling in love with each other, coriander didn't feel good in her heart. Why didn't she see that Second Uncle Lin was kind, why did she listen to him speak so viciously?

The funny thing is that Coriander comforted Second Uncle Lin in turn, "Second Uncle, don't worry, no matter whether my father is dead or alive, I will definitely bring him back!" ”

Second Uncle Lin, who was too deep in the play, heard this, and came back to his senses, looking a little embarrassed. He didn't want Lin Sihai to live, it would be better for the two brothers and sisters to reunite with their dead ghost father under the Yellow Spring, and the Lin family's eldest family's property would be his......

Regardless of whether Coriander Ming didn't understand, Coriander saw Second Uncle Lin's intentions, he just wanted to drive the two brothers and sisters out of the Lin family, and then he would occupy the magpie's nest.

"Second uncle, don't be sad, sit down first-" Coriander helped Second Uncle Lin, looked up at the wooden pier in front of the stove, and then instructed Coriander, "Coriander, hurry up and take that wooden pier, our second uncle can't stand anymore!" ”

Ouch hey, she's a stupid brother!

Coriander reluctantly kicked the wooden dun to Second Uncle Lin, and couldn't see his depressed appearance, so she pretended to be determined and said: "Second Uncle, brother, you can rest assured, Jiren has his own natural appearance, and his father will definitely be fine!" The fortune teller said he would live to eighty-eight! ”

Coriander loved to listen to these auspicious words, and nodded resolutely in agreement, and then reacted, glancing at the coriander in confusion and blankness, wondering when their father had told his fortune......

However, Second Uncle Lin's face stiffened, and he almost couldn't act, his eyes were so embarrassed that he turned around, and he added some bitter scenes for himself. He secretly twisted his thigh, and the pain made him cry, and a string of snot fell.

He grabbed Coriander's arm and cried and pleaded, "Coriander, you must bring your father back, but it's a pity that you two children have lost their mothers early, and they can't be without their fathers anymore!" So you have to find your daddy! ”

Coriander had tears in her eyes, a sad face, and nodded to Second Uncle Lin like garlic.

If his hands and arms were trapped by Second Uncle Lin, he would definitely pat his chest and promise, "Second Uncle, don't worry, I'll pack up and go to Shanghai, and I will definitely get my father back!" ”

"Huh!" Second Uncle Lin's goal was almost achieved, his face was a lot more relaxed, he cautiously glanced at the coriander who was watching coldly, and immediately retracted his head, not daring to communicate with this "female devil" who could kill people with his eyes, so he simply explained all his words to Coriander, "Bring your sister with you, there is a good companion on the road." ”

Hearing this, Coriander was thoughtful.
