The villa they live in is located in the northern part of Arnhem, about two kilometers from the city centre. In the movie "The Distant Bridge", the bridge over the Lower Rhine that the Allies and the Germans fought over is not far away.

The villa is located in the middle of a forest, which is about three square kilometers in size. In the dream, it was later turned into a forest park, and the villa is still intact.

Because it was far away from the city, only one platoon of soldiers needed to be arranged around it to defend it, so it was occupied by the Germans. As a person with vested interests, Zhou Nan has no power to change all this even if he has the heart, so he can only secretly say sorry to the children in his heart.

After walking south about 300 meters along the path in the forest, you will be out of the forest. There was a German outpost here, and since the situation in Arnhem was relatively peaceful, and there was a regiment of troops stationed next to it, it was not strictly controlled.

In the forest, many Dutch children in ragged clothes were chasing and laughing, although the war was nearby, but at least at this moment, they were happy.

Unlike boys who like to play, girls are much more reserved and quiet. They all carry small baskets, and in the spring forest, there are not only all kinds of wild vegetables, but also all kinds of mushrooms waiting for them to pick.

"Jonas, are you going to the city?" The guard was a corporal named Kohler, whom Zhou Nan knew, and he was a very talkative young man, and he liked to listen to Zhou Nan play the dong flute the most, because he had never heard such music before. As for Zhou Nan, because he was the only one in the entire city, almost all the soldiers knew him, at least they all knew him.

"Yes, I want to go buy something. Those kids look happy......"

Following Zhou Nan's gaze, Kohler smiled: "When I saw them, I remembered the days when I was a child picking pine cones in the countryside of Hanover, and at that time, I was also carefree. ”

Zhou Nan nodded. "Yes, when I grow up, I don't have simple happiness anymore. Goodbye......"

After walking a few steps, he heard Kohler shouting from behind, "Jonas, are you going to go to the city like this?" I know your car was blown up, but I have a bike here, as long as you give it back to me when you get back. ”

"Thank you, but no, I'm not in a hurry, and I want to take the opportunity to go." Zhou Nan turned around and beckoned to them, and walked towards the city again.

May is the most beautiful season in the Netherlands, with fields of green carpets of different colors and small flowers of various colors blooming in the middle of the green. Rows of green trees divide the fields and form a beautiful picture.

But now Zhou Nan has no interest in painting, and his mind has already flown to the city not far away.

If he hadn't lived in his dreams, he wouldn't have known that the tomboy he often chatted with would become a goddess in the hearts of men all over the world in the future. If it weren't for the dream experience, he wouldn't have known that she would be hungry next year and would have had to eat bread made from tulip roots, causing lifelong physical damage.

Where was you at that time? Hoffmann had an accident and he returned to Hamburg with Hoffman's ashes. Later, because he had to deal with the Hoffman family's property, he kept running around, but in the end he only got stacks of military tickets that could no longer be cashed.

Yes, Germany was defeated, and all the military tickets and bonds became a pile of waste paper.

Because of this, they never met again. It wasn't until more than ten years later that he discovered her pictorial in the home of a layman who practiced business, and at that time, she was already a big star sought after all over the world.

Fate by mistake is not fate, he comforted himself like this. But the pain and loss in his heart is known only to him.

Along the way, Zhou Nan kept smiling at everyone, nodding to everyone who came on. Having lived in this city for more than three years, almost everyone in this small town knows him.

Although he was doing things for the Germans, there was not so much hatred between ordinary people in the two countries. In 40 years, when the German army entered the Netherlands, the Dutch people even ran to the streets to welcome the German soldiers.

He was kind to others, and the Dutch were slow to accept him.

As for this injury, it was purely an accident......

Including the two guerrillas who had already been shot, it was not because they wanted to deal with him at first, he just happened to meet him.

Since it was a Sunday, there were still a lot of people on the streets today. The Dutch also cherish the only one day off a week, and they can see parents with children everywhere and enjoy a rare leisure time. The park on the south side of the forest is full of people who are made up of families.

However, because of the war, there were soldiers and Gestapo people everywhere to supervise, and as long as there were more than three adult men, it was generally not allowed.

Walked to the intersection next to the train station, where the right turn is the material warehouse, which is heavily guarded. Walking straight is the famous bridge, but Zhou Nan was not interested in visiting this bridge at this time, he walked to the intersection on the left.

In his dream, the city would be in ruins the next year, and when he returned fifty years later, almost everything had changed except for the bridge and the villa in the forest.

At the end of Chloe Street, and then to the south, there is a small park in the neighborhood, and on the west side of the park, there is a large three-story house, which is where Ada's family now lives.

The house was the ancestral home of her grandfather, Viscount Hemsstra, and had more than a dozen rooms on each floor, making it three floors in total. But the big house now houses only a group of women, Ada's grandmother, her two aunts, an aunt, and their respective children.

Ada's family of four now lives here, but her two older brothers, one who works on the railroad and the other in a factory downstream of the river, have no time to return, so the women are now struggling to support the family.

Her mother also works in a clothing factory directly affiliated with the army, and she has to work hard for more than ten hours a day to receive enough food and daily necessities for one person.

However, since most of the children in this family are already able to work, and the adults can also work, only Ada's grandmother and a few children are unable to work, so they can barely make ends meet.

Yes, decent.

Their family is a side branch of the royal family, so no matter what time it is, dignity is more important than survival. Because of this, her grandfather died, and because of this, her two uncles did not survive. So much so that her grandfather's viscount title passed to Ida and her mother, but she was demoted by one level and became a baroness.

Zhou Nan didn't understand their insistence, in his opinion, life is the most important, even if it is spirit, it must rely on life to continue.

Of course, this is also related to his mentality of being rich and getting by.

The door of the house was open, but Zhou Nan still knocked the door twice and waited at the door.

Soon, a serious-looking, wrinkled old lady appeared in the hall. Seeing Zhou You, her expression was neither enthusiastic nor cold, but there was an indifference that saw through the red dust. She has become like this since her husband died, and Zhou Nan has never seen her laugh or cry happily in the few years that she has known her.

"Mr. Zhou, good afternoon."

"Good afternoon, Mrs. Hemsstra, the weather is fine today, and you haven't gone out for a walk?"

"I know every bit of this small town with my eyes closed, there is nothing to visit. What's more, it's rare for everyone to rest, and they should also do a good job of sanitation in the house. Please go ......"

The house has a long history, and the entrance hall was originally a large ballroom. But the curtains, expensive lamps and furniture in the room have been replaced with food, and the empty hall is like an old woman after unloading, without any beauty.

Wandering into the drawing-room, Mrs. Hemstella brought over a glass of cold water. In Europe, very few people drink boiled water, and Zhou Nan has become accustomed to this. On days when there is no coffee, no tea, cold water is more convenient than boiling water.

"Isn't Ida home?"

The old lady looked at his head and withdrew her gaze. "The news of your injuries spread throughout the city, and two people were executed because of you......"

"Mrs. Hemsstra, this is not my will!"

"I understand that no one hates you for it. I just wanted to tell you that Audrey went to the Forest Villa every weekend after she knew you were injured. Maybe you're missing it. ”

Hearing such words, Zhou Nan's heart suddenly felt a warm feeling. In the dream, he didn't come over this weekend, so he didn't know about it, and their meeting was something that happened the next weekend, and Ada didn't mention it.

Zhou Nan didn't want to stay here any longer, and he didn't have much in common with this old lady who didn't care about anything.

He put down his glass of water and placed the bag of sausages and cans he was carrying on the table. "Mrs. Hemstra, it's just a little gift......"

She glanced at the wrapping paper outside, apparently having guessed what it was. However, she did not refuse, but said: "You are a kind person, in such a difficult time, don't say that this big bag of food, even a sausage, may be a life." Thank you for your kindness. ”

"I'm just doing my best...... If it's difficult, don't hesitate to speak up. ”

Saying goodbye to the old lady, Zhou Nan just went out and ran into Mrs. Hemstra who came back from outside, that is, Audrey's mother. She is not very beautiful, but she is a very temperamental woman, but the burden of life has made her lose her original brilliance now.

She carried a basket of real black bread in her hand. This brown bread is made with oats, fish bone meal, and even sawdust mixed together and is very firm. Zhou Nan, on the other hand, eats whole-wheat bread every day, but because the wheat is not peeled, there is some melanin, which is completely two different concepts of food.
