Chapter 329: The Beginning and the End
The battleship Warweariness is the second ship of the Queen Elizabeth-class battleship, and the sister of Queen Elizabeth, who now holds a key position in the town guard.
From its inception until its retirement, it participated in numerous battles in the Royal Navy, and during World War II, it was one of the most prestigious ships of the Royal Navy.
Because of the praise of the legendary Admiral Sir Andrew Cunningham of the Royal Navy, "when this venerable old lady lifts her skirt, she can still run", so she has always been nicknamed "Old Lady".
As an old-timer, he takes care of the expulsion children of the younger generations...... There are even some over-care and serious suspicions of lolita.
Due to the strange headdress, she was also given the nickname of Shell Hat, but this legendary shipwreck of the Royal Navy is still revered by everyone in the town's house.
Although Hood jokingly called her an old lady, he actually respected her in his heart, and even Queen Elizabeth, who was usually elegant, told her admiral to bring her back when she heard the news of her famous sister.
Because of the exquisite and prestigious vertical painting, the war-weariness in the previous life was also practiced by Yan Feng in the flagship position when he fried fish.
When Yan Feng came to Will Town with the shipwives who were still looking forward to the trip to Neuschwanstein Castle, the group was immediately attracted by the quiet town in front of them.
This small town not far from Neuschwanstein Castle has a small population, and although the houses in the town are neatly arranged, they are not densely packed, and the houses are mainly small buildings of 1-2 storeys.
However, the most striking thing should be the large green fields on the plains around the town, combined with the quiet atmosphere of the town and the Neuschwanstein Castle shrouded in clouds and mist on the mountain tops in the distance, which makes Yan Feng feel as if the pace of the whole world has been slowed down.
"I think I can understand why the war-weary chose to live in seclusion here, it's really like a small town in a fairy tale, so quiet and close to nature." Hood said refreshedly after taking a deep breath of the fresh air around him.
Yan Feng also stretched out comfortably to relieve his somewhat stiff body that had been sitting for a long time.
"Yes, this town is far away from the bustling city, but this kind of peaceful atmosphere is really hard to find in the city."
However, Nandakota ignored the sighs of Yan Feng and Hood and the others, and ran to the front with four destroyers, while turning back and shouting to the others, "Admiral, let's go!" Find them sooner and go to the castle sooner to play. ”
"That's it!" Fantasy and fireflies also chimed in.
After glancing at each other helplessly with Richelieu, Yan Feng could only follow a few guys who couldn't understand the atmosphere and walked towards the center of the town.
There are also advantages of fewer people in the town, basically the residents of the town know each other, and after Yan Feng inquired with the owner of a grocery store on the side of the road, it was easy to get the news of war weariness.
"You mean Xiao Zi and them? They lived in Melinda's house, and thanks to their care, the old lady was able to spend her last days peacefully and peacefully. ”
The grocery store owner sighed when he heard Yan Feng mention the woman with blonde hair and strange headdress.
Yan Feng raised his eyebrows after hearing the boss's words, and he probably knew from the boss's words why the war weariness had stayed until now.
After asking the enthusiastic boss about the address of Mrs. Melinda, Yan Feng led the ship's girls towards the destination.
"In this way, they should stay in this town just to take care of this old lady."
Richelieu apparently understood what was going on, and spoke to the Admiral and his sisters on foot.
Looking at South Dakota, who was jumping and playing with the destroyers in front of him, Yan Feng nodded, "Let's go find her for the specific situation and ask in detail, it's the small building in front." ”
It doesn't take much time to walk in a small town, not to mention that the owner points out that the location of the house is right near the center of the town.
Yan Feng and the others had not walked for a few minutes before they came to the two-story building with a vermilion roof in front of them, and the door sign at the door said "Wagner's family", which should be the surname of the old lady Melina.
However, after Yan Feng stepped forward and knocked on the door, no one came out to answer for a long time, just as Yan Feng and the ship girls began to discuss whether they were war-weary or not, in a house next door, an old gentleman with white hair walked out.
"Oh? Young man, do you have something to do with Xiao Zi and them? ”
Seeing a group of people gathered next door to his house, the old gentleman was stunned for a moment, but then enthusiastically asked Yan Feng and the others about their intentions.
The folk customs of the town are relatively simple, and there is not too much wariness between each other, and the old gentleman nodded suddenly after Yan Feng explained his intention.
"It turns out that Xiaozi and the three of them are ship girls? I really didn't expect this. But it's a pity that now that Xiao Zi and the others have gone to Neuschwanstein Castle, they will probably have to wait another 1 hour in the evening before they come back, so you might as well come to my house to kill the time for a while, right? ”
After hearing the old man's words, Yan Feng scratched his head a little embarrassed and said, "How embarrassing is this?" Why don't we go for a walk around town? ”
The old gentleman waved his hand enthusiastically and said, "What is there to visit in this town, basically you can see the end at a glance, there are few shops, don't be polite to me, since my wife is gone, it is rare to be able to talk to people, just accompany me, an old immortal, to relieve loneliness." ”
After discussing it with Hood, Richelieu and the others a little, Yan Feng smiled and nodded, "Since that's the case, then we'll bother." ”
It just so happened that Yan Feng also had some things to ask the old gentleman, and since the other party invited him kindly, Yan Feng agreed.
Under the guidance of the old gentleman, the group entered the hall of his house and sat down, and after the two sides introduced each other, Yan Feng learned that the old man named Friedrich Heinz and the old lady Melinda next door had been neighbors for decades.
"Melinda is really miserable, her wife left early, and her only son also committed suicide by throwing himself into the river, if it weren't for Xiaozi and their careful care after coming to the town, I'm afraid her last year would have been very miserable." Old man Friedrich lamented as he spoke of Melinda next door.
From the old man's words, Yan Feng learned the whole story, it turned out that the old lady Melinda was not a resident of the town when she was young, but only temporarily lived in Weil Town as a cleaning staff of Neuschwanstein Castle.
However, after meeting and falling in love with a young man in the town, they settled here, and the two couples also spent a happy time.
However, the good times did not last long, and when their son was 5 years old, Melinda's husband, Mr. Wagner, died because he fell into the valley while hunting, leaving Melinda, a widow, to work hard to raise her only son.
Fortunately, the residents of the town understood her difficulties, and from time to time they would help their family, so that the young son could be raised up, and her son was also admitted to the Mooney Black University of Technology.
Just when the town's neighbors thought Melinda had finally come to an end, bad news came from her son's second year of college.
As an engineering student, Wagner Jr. was a bit clumsy in words, but in his second year of college, he met a young student when he was recruiting, and they quickly fell in love with her active pursuit.
However, it didn't take long for Wagner Jr. to learn bad rumors from his roommate, and his girlfriend seemed to have been not very good since she entered school.
The puzzled little Wagner secretly investigated, only to find out that this gentle and lovely girlfriend in front of him was actually a sister-type person outside.
Smoking and drinking are all good, and sometimes they will even secretly get some drugs and fox friends secretly smoke, and then even have a chaotic "beep" party when they are not conscious.
Little Wagner, who had a green prairie on his head, was naturally unwilling and appeared in a bar to find the schoolgirl for questioning.
"Did you find out? Forget it, I'm tired of pretending to be obedient anyway, I'll tell you the truth, I just had to find a very frustrated boyfriend after losing a bet with my friends, and the time limit was three months, otherwise how can I look at your kind of dick. ”
Seeing the appearance of the so-called girlfriend smoking a cigarette and looking at him with disdain, little Wagner was furious and planned to step forward and grab her.
However, his actions were mistaken by the companion next to Green Tea for wanting to make a move, and he couldn't help but beat Wagner Jr. and threw him out of the bar.
Later, as Mr. Friedrich said, he could not bear the blow for a while without the strict education of his father and only the love of his mother, and committed suicide by throwing himself into the river that night.
Melinda was stunned when she heard the bad news, and fell to the ground with her eyes rolled under the anxious eyes of the villagers.
After she woke up, she began to get a little confused.
Although he managed to survive with the help of the townspeople, the quality of life can be imagined, and the body that had been working hard for many years quickly collapsed.
The year before last, when Friedrich and other neighbors thought that she would not survive the year, an unexpected situation happened.
In September of the previous year, War-weary suddenly appeared in the town with two young girls, and collapsed outside Melinda's house when they fell unconscious.
Melinda, who usually went out in the morning to go to her husband's grave in a daze, seemed to have regained her senses when she found the three women, and moved them back to her home one by one with great difficulty.
After that, Melinda miraculously got out of her previous unconscious state, and took care of them until they woke up tired of war.
Naturally, after the war-weary and other three woke up, the old man, who was already extremely overdrawn, quickly fell ill with a relieved smile.
Since then, War Weary and others have been living in Melinda's house to repay her kindness, taking care of her daily life, and under the introduction of the townspeople, War Weary even got Melinda's job as a young man - cleaning Neuschwanstein Castle.
