Chapter 5: The First Cry
On the shores of a sparkling lake in Kyoto, there are few tourists, and occasionally a few young men and women wearing kimonos and stepping on clogs pass by, as if they were in a hurry to do something important.
A young man in a suit sat on a wooden bench on the shore of the lake, watching the water crash against the embankment. Just as he was distracted, a crisp voice came from behind him.
"Shihe, I've been looking for you for a long time, why did you come here?"
The young man looked back, but it was a beautiful woman wearing a wide plain dress, with a big belly, a good face, and an anxious expression. When I saw him, my originally nervous expression slowed down and I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Su'e, why did you come out? It's windy and rough here, so beware of getting cold. If you are sick, the child in your womb will suffer with you! β
Although there was a complaint in his tone, the deep concern was written on his face. The young man named Shihe took off his suit and jacket, put it on for Su'e, took her in his arms, and came to sit down on the wooden bench.
"Am I not worried about you? Besides, without you by my side, in this strange country, I always feel that I don't know the bottom of my heart. In case there is any accident between our mother and son, see how you go back and explain to your parents-in-law! β
The two of them talked for a while, and then quietly hugged each other, looking at the scenery on the lake. At this time, it was already dusk, and the afterglow of the setting sun was sprinkled on the surface of the lake, like scattered golden sand, and like a tired golden dragon, floating on the water to rest, which was very beautiful.
Just when the two of them could see their gods, Su'e suddenly stretched out her finger, pointed to the lake and said, "Shihe, look at it!" That golden dragon seems to be coming back to life! β
Not only was the golden dragon on the surface of the lake writhing rapidly, but even the ground under the feet of the two people trembled slightly. There were a few people in the distance who were already in a hurry, but at this time they suddenly ran, shouting and waving their hands to this side.
"Shihe, why are they running? What to shout? β
The young man who called Shihe listened carefully, his expression changed greatly, he stood up quickly, took Su'e's hand and ran. As he ran, he explained, "Earthquake, it's an earthquake!" They told us to go to a safe place, it was too close to the lake and it was very dangerous! β
The two men left the lake and ran towards the open area. In their place, they could already see the gate of Kyoto Imperial University, and even more so the swaying crown of the large camphor tree.
There was a muffled buzzing sound, as if a thunderclap sounded in my ears. The ground shook violently beneath his feet, causing the two people who were running to fall to the ground. Not far away, several wooden houses collapsed like papier-mΓ’chΓ©, and the sound of cries could be heard faintly from there.
"Shihe, I'm afraid! Are we going to die? β
"Don't be afraid of Su'e, even if you die, it will be a family of three dying together, and the child and I will accompany you!"
A blue light came from the depths of Kyoto Imperial University, spreading in all directions in a circle. In the area covered by this blue light, time seems to stand still. The house stopped collapsing, and the crying stopped abruptly. A pedestrian who was about to fall lost his balance and was about to come into close contact with the ground, but he floated strangely in mid-air, with only one toe tapping the ground.
In the depths of the blue light, a little white light moves and flies like a dancing elf, drawing an irregular trajectory and spreading outward with the blue light. After passing quickly beside Shihe and Su'e, the white light that had already flown far flew back again, and circled around Su'e a few times, as if carefully observing something, and then swooped down and disappeared into Su'e's stomach.
Time was suddenly broken, and everything seemed to come back to life again. Buildings continue to fall, and cries are screaming. Shihe and Su'e lay on the ground in horror, looking at the tragic situation in front of them, and secretly glad that they were not in the house.
"Shihe, it's terrible here, if your business is over, let's go back to China as soon as possible! As long as you return to the countryside of Cixi, even if you die, you will return to your roots, which is better than this foreign country! β
Shihe was also scared for a while, but when he saw his wife like this, in order not to make her frightened, he hurriedly nodded and agreed.
"It's up to you! I've already met Zhiqing, he has graduated from the Tokyo Zhenwu School and went to Hokkaido as a cadet cadet, as if he joined the 13th Field Artillery Wing? I also helped her bring Aunt Caiyu's instructions and letters. As for me, the business here in Kyoto is over, and I can buy a ticket and take a boat back to China tomorrow! β
The full name of Shihe is Wang Shihe, and the woman with a big belly is called Sun Su'e. The two of them set off from Zhejiang Province, China, and came to Japan on a sea ship for more than ten days. Originally, Wang Shihe wanted to come alone, but Sun Su'e, who was really relieved, refused to live or die, and would rather hold up her big belly and insist on going along. Wang Shihe, who loved his wife, couldn't twist his arms around his thighs, so he had to agree, and by the way, his daughter-in-law opened her eyes and brought her with her. Now that everything has been decided, and after an earthquake, I feel that although Liang Yuan is good, it is not a place to stay for a long time, so I pondered that it is better to buy a ticket to return to China as soon as possible, so as not to be frightened here.
Early in the morning of the second day, Wang Shihe had an early meal and went to the shipping company, where a ship would depart from Tokyo to Shanghai on the second day, and there were still a few third-class cabins left. In order to leave this place as soon as possible, he didn't care about any third- and fourth-class cabins, grabbed two tickets, took his wife, packed his luggage, went to Tokyo to live, and boarded a passenger ship called Tokyo Maru the next day and set off for China.
Wang Shihe and Sun Su'e on the ship never thought that it would have been a simple trip to Japan, but because of the Kyoto earthquake, there was an extra stowaway from a parallel world in their stomachs. At the moment of the earthquake, the wormhole passage opened from the laboratory of Kyoto University allowed the sleepless soul of Wang Mengxiong, who should have died, to pass through the protection of the wormhole energy, and just chose Sun Su'e, who had a big belly, to be reincarnated. Three months after Wang Shihe and his wife returned to their hometown in Cixi, a big fat boy fell to the ground, which made the couple who were new parents overjoyed. When it was time to eat the full moon wine, the child's many relatives gathered together, shouting and shouting, and the cups of wine came and went, so it was not lively.
Halfway through the banquet, the child's grandfather stroked his beard, intending to give his grandson a well-known name. However, he hasn't studied private school for a few years since he was a child, and he hasn't come up with any good names for a long time. Seeing that his relatives and friends were all looking at him, it was not a solution not to speak for a long time. Fortunately, when I was young, I also read a few idle books, and suddenly remembered Jiang Ziya, who met King Wen at the age of eighty, and had a good name in my heart, and I was very proud.
Wang Caiyu saw that his cousin's face was bright, and knew that he didn't read much, so he urged: "Child, since you think of it, hurry up and say it, let's all wait to listen?" If it really doesn't work, it's okay to be called Jingguo like my grandson? β
The child's grandfather was a little unhappy, but his cousin Caiyu's mother was expensive by virtue of her son, and she had a promising son studying in Japan, but her own son was living at home with his wife. Thinking of this, he glared at Wang Shihe fiercely, and said, "Don't worry, I have already thought of the name, so let's call it Mengxiong!" In ancient times, King Wen of Zhou Mengfei Xiong entered the account to get a good appearance Jiang Ziya, I hope that my grandson will also be able to enter the phase in the future and achieve a great career! β
"Cousin, your private school was really not in vain in the past few days, Wang Mengxiong, Wang Mengxiong, good name! It's on par with the name of my grandson, Chiang Ching-kuo! β
