The wedding finally ended, and amid people's laughter and blessings, a Ford car carried the couple out of Raccoon Town.

Under a clear blue sky, cars huffle down the highway. Polis glanced back at Raccoon Town, where she had lived for more than 10 years, and slowly disappeared into the embrace of the mountains and trees. Then, after a while, the majestic Raccoon Mountain gradually sank between heaven and earth, and a gray flat road crossed the vast and soft western wilderness, stretching to the end of the intersection of heaven and earth.

Polis had never felt so lonely, and she couldn't help it, crying again at the sound of the car's engine.

Arthur driving. Cred, seeing his beloved new wife crying, pulled the car aside. He extinguished the engine of the car, took a new handkerchief from his suit jacket, and handed it to Polis.

"Are you still thinking about their family? Cry, Brother Chen said that in China, it is not good for girls not to cry when they get married. ”

Polis nodded and took the handkerchief.

"I'm sorry! My dear. I just can't stand it. This is my second home, I came here from the south with my brother and dad to start a new life, and here I lost my brother and all my loved ones. Now I don't have any relatives. I don't know if I'll ever see them again. Although they are Chinese, they are like my relatives. No! They are my relatives! ”

"Brother Chen is a good person. Otherwise, we'll go back and stay for a while. You're out of Raccoon Town now, and your heart is still there. I can go back to Seattle first and pick you up when I come back later. ”

"No, no, I'm just sad. I'm going to live my own life. I'm saying I'm your wife, and you can't live without a career. Brother Chen is right, I have to learn to take care of myself. Polis said, wiping tears from her eyes.

Arthur. Credder took Polis into his arms and said comfortingly, "Don't worry! I promise God that I will always love you! I am also your loved ones now, who said you lost them! If you want to come back and see them later, wait until we're settled! I will come back with you anytime. Even! When I have the opportunity in the future, I can transfer from Ambrera in Seattle to work here! Trust me. ”

Arthur kissed Polis on the forehead deeply, and the two pairs of loving eyes looked at each other affectionately, and the two kissed deeply.

Arthur. Credder started the car again, he looked at Polis and smiled, "How?!" Think about it! It's too late to regret it now, ma'am! Otherwise, you won't be able to get off my thief ship!" I'm going to kidnap you! ”

Polis was amused! And hit Arthur!

"Good! Let's go! Target! Seattle, Washington! Run to the cottage we love! ”

The sun shone on the sky-blue body, and the Ford sped along the road into the vast western wilderness. In the end, it disappeared at the end of heaven and earth.

May 20, 1963, 23:22 p.m. Raccoon Town, Oregon, western United States.

On the balcony on the second floor of the Sichuan restaurant, Chen Chuanhu leaned on a reclining chair, wearing a gray Tang-style pajamas and black mille-feuille shoes. Since 61 years later, Chen Chuanhu's heavy Chinese-style clothing has never changed, so as not to be called a half-breed and a Japanese!

The stars and the bright full moon in the sky, the hearty and faint evening breeze accompanied by the fragrance of the forest filled every corner of Raccoon Town, and from time to time from the mountains and forests came the howl of wolves!

Polis is gone, she gets married, and she starts a new life of her own. Now Chen Chuanhu's heart is down-to-earth.

He didn't know if it could be right, his friend Merrick who died in North Korea, maybe he could only do this.

Now he is still worried about another thing, that is, his son Tiankun who is outside! A few months ago, my son said that he wanted to leave here and go out to see the world while he was young! It can be as little as a year or more than a few years, and when I come back, I must run a restaurant with my parents and live a down-to-earth life.

A few days ago, Chen Chuanhu received a letter and a photo from him saying that he and his 'friends' were now in Chicago to promote the struggle for civil rights among ethnic minorities. They have been to a lot of cities and places during this time, and they have opened their eyes! The understanding of the United States has been deepened!

The letter said that many cities in the United States had Chinese restaurants and Chinatowns, and Tiankun was very excited to say that they would go to Washington with Dr. Jin in a few months!

Chen Chuanhu closed his eyes and recalled the days when he came to the United States, especially in the past ten years, he was really emotional! I really can't find a word to describe it, but I let out a heartfelt sigh at the night mountains.

At this time, the news of the Vietnam War came out on the TV behind him, and Chen Chuanhu got up and looked.

According to the news: Due to the frequent guerrilla activities in North Vietnam and South Vietnam in recent days, the US Government has decided to start increasing the number of US military advisers in South Vietnam and increasing military aid to them.

The number of U.S. troops now stationed in South Vietnam exceeds 16,000. The Pentagon and the White House say that the United States will not get involved in this military conflict in Asian countries! With the host's voice, the screen switches to a South Vietnamese military base, where there are many US officers and soldiers, wearing various styles of camouflage combat uniforms, carrying long and short guns and combat equipment.

At this time, the camera focuses on the runway, next to a large transport plane, many American officers and soldiers are standing together, their faces as gloomy as the sky where they are, and in front of them are five coffins covered with the Star-Spangled Banner. In front of the coffin, a bespectacled chaplain was holding a Bible in his hand and reading something down.

On another runway not far away, large American-made transport planes are busily taking off and landing to transport cargo and U.S. and Vietnamese fighters.

The voiceover sounded at this time: "The latest news! Today, a South Vietnamese unit exchanged fire with North Vietnamese guerrillas near Saigon, and both sides suffered heavy casualties! Five more American officers and soldiers were killed! ”

Suddenly! The camera began to swing! It turned out that a helicopter had just landed not far away! Amid the roar of a huge engine, a black American soldier was carried down by two South Vietnamese soldiers! It may be that he is bigger, and with the drag caused by the propellers of the plane, the two emaciated and tired South Vietnamese soldiers have a little difficulty carrying the stretcher! The doctor quickly ran over!

"Hey! What happened to you!! What is your military rank!? Name!? ”

"Colin! Sir! Colin. Baukar! Second Lieutenant!! My feet! Sky! Oh, God! It hurts so much!! ”

"Isn't your foot very swollen! What does it feel like to stretch your boots open!? Does it hurt! The doctor said and pinched his foot.

"Ahh Yes! Yes! I stepped on a bamboo stick while patrolling this morning! I think it's the poison of buffalo dung on it! ”

"It's the cause of play again! You're in luck! Only stick a bamboo stick! Didn't step on a mine! Hi!! You two come here! Do you just watch your comrades suffer! Help me carry him in! He may have surgery! The doctor shouted to two American soldiers not far away!

Coincidentally, two U.S. soldiers were also black, one carrying a new AR-15 assault rifle, wearing camouflage jungle boots and a green beret.

The other was also fully armed, just wearing an ordinary military cap, military boots, and an M2 carbine, and the two of them looked over at the same time, and immediately ran over without saying anything! Replaced the two South Vietnamese soldiers, lifted the stretcher and walked quickly.

Chen Chuanhu shook his head from time to time when he saw all this, the North Korean side has just finished fighting for a few years, why is it hammered up again? Looking at this scene, it seems to have returned to the Chinese garrison in India in 1943. Originally, in the past few years, Chen Chuanhu has really integrated into the new living environment. Especially in 1957, the arrival of the large multinational company 'Ambrera' made Raccoon Town not turn the sky upside down, and it can definitely be described as 'covering the ground'! A large number of urban infrastructure and public facilities were built, new urban planning was carried out, commercial development was encouraged, and the newly formed town government put forward the slogan that was avant-garde at the time: "To create a democratic, equal, fraternal and harmonious living environment for the inhabitants living here." ”

Not only does Raccoon Town have a population of more than 6,000 people, but now it has a four-story façade house on Raccoon Street in Raccoon Town, as you can prove! Anyway, there are few people here and there is a big place, so it's no problem to live in more than 20 people.

There was a voice on the TV! It seems that the photographer did not give up, but followed the shooting!

"Excuse me, sir! What's your name! How do you feel about here!? The reporter asked the two black soldiers who were carrying the stretcher just now.

"Ah, that's good! It's beautiful here. Really, much better than where I stayed! ”

"Really? Sir, look at the armband, you are from the 62nd Army? ”

"That's right! That's right! 62 Army's! Spartan Legion! Mark. Ensign Rogers! See!! I'm here to teach them how to fight! As he spoke, the tall, round-faced black officer proudly showed his armband to the reporter.

"Ahh It's really nice! Sir, do you have anything to say to your family? ”

"There's nothing too much to say! I'm fine here! Mom and Dad, don't worry about me!! This is part of the duty of a soldier! Hahu!! ”

The reporter turned the camera back to the black soldier in the green beret.

"What are you going to say to your family!? Sir! ”

I saw this black soldier in a green beret facing the camera, his eyes were like copper bells, his eyes were cold and sharp, and his expression was like frost.

Chen Chuanhu looked at it! I feel weird about this guy, he is different from many black Americans and black soldiers I've seen! The kind of facial features that are just like carvings, there is a heroic temperament between the eyebrows, in terms of size and height, taller and stronger than him, Chen Chuanhu himself has seen a lot, this black soldier gives people a kind of steel softness and iron hardness, there is a sense of oppression!

"I'm fine too! Mom, I'm here, don't worry! I'll make that 'guy' pay 'dearly'! With that, he turned and left.

"What's your name!? Sir? Feed! Who are you going to make pay!? Sir! ”

"His name is Belard! Who else could there be? ”

"It's the guy with the goatee and shorts!" The other officers and soldiers on the side laughed!

The American soldiers around him also laughed!!

Chen Chuanhu knew at a glance that many of them were newcomers, and many of them had not yet experienced a real war.

"Don't come to the same place, Feidis. It looks like you're going to be out again. Chen Chuanhu looked at the TV, and said the Spartan armbands of those US officers and soldiers.

On this day, the vanguard of the 62nd Army, the ace of the US Army, began to be airlifted from the military base in South Korea to Saigon, Vietnam. 》

Chen Chuanhu turned off the TV, this little thing is really incredible in Chen Chuanhu's eyes, it can actually transmit the world on the other side of the earth here, but this thing can be placed in his own home, and it can also be placed in the army's operational headquarters. A new era, a new world, a new war, forget it, I am really old, what will happen to the world in the future? I can't conceive it myself.

Chen Chuanhu sat back on the recliner on the balcony and looked at the night sky with his eyes. In his 50s, his temples have turned gray, and now Chen Chuanhu likes to enjoy this peace and tranquility at night.

I feel that apart from the fact that this is not my hometown and my motherland, I really can't find anything bad. Sometimes Chen Chuanhu feels that his longing for his hometown and motherland is weakening! In my mind, the mountains and rivers of my hometown, every grass and tree, are slowly being replaced by Raccoon Mountain and Raccoon Town!

Could it be that he really is: married a daughter-in-law and forgot his mother. If you don't love your hometown, is it your hometown to benefit from the depths?

Or did I respond to Su Dongpo's sentence: No matter the end of the world or the cape, peace of mind is home?

Forget it, forget it! For people like me, it seems that there is no going back in this life. I can't burn incense to the ancestors of the Chen family. Still, living in a foreign country for a long time is my hometown! Perhaps, this is the so-called wanderer, overseas Chinese, immigrant! Looking back on the past, Chen Chuanhu's eyes moistened.

Just then, the door opened! Yuling walked in.

"The clothes are washed for you! Put it here. After saying that, Yuling turned around to leave.

"Yuling! You wait! Chen Chuanhu turned around and stopped Yuling.

"One day husband and wife hundred days! I, Chen Chuanhu, am wrong! I know wrong!! But I didn't do anything unseemly! I didn't do anything that hurt God! Can't you just give me a chance! It's been all these years! Let's come together in the war, are you so ruthless!! I'm also for the good of Tiankun!! Everyone is still Chinese! It's dark to kill you! How did Big Brother die! I hacked him to death!! ”

Yuling turned her back to Chen Chuanhu, and after listening to him finish speaking, she turned around and said without being anxious or irritated: "I, Han Yuling, have read books, and I am not an unreasonable person!" I won't share a bed with someone who burns books, who throws my Chinese culture into the furnace! Chen Chuanhu! Didn't you always say that the two countries fought each other, each with its own master! You didn't say why I rebelled! Why didn't you listen to them a few times! Chen Chuanhu, your bloody nature is gone! Your backbone is gone!! You think you're a strong man with a broken wrist! Bullshit!! I'm telling you! You have broken the bloodline of the Chen family!! ”

"I don't want Tiankun to go my way!! Do you want him to go to Chinese!? ”

"Humph! Mr. Lu Xun is really right! Your imagination is so rich! If you have blood and backbone, you must fight the Chinese!? Can't you just go and fight foreigners!! Go fight the invaders, fight the devil!! Yuling's chest rose and fell, and then she said, "If he really goes your way, can you kill him now!" Those puppet soldiers, traitors, and lackeys back then! Isn't it also Chinese!? I haven't read your Chen family's book either! Hum! If they had read those books, they might have lost a few traitors! A few more warriors who will kill the enemy and defend the country! The hard work of the ancestors of the Chen family for several generations has been burned by you! You still have the face to quarrel with me!! ”

"That being the case, then why are you still staying in the Chen family! Why don't you leave! Isn't this the United States! Let's, we, divorce, get married! Chen Chuanhu smashed out this sentence word by word from his mouth!

didn't think that Yuling was not angry, and she was also at a loss in her imagination. Instead, he said coldly: "If you say leave, I will tell you!" In addition to the deceased ancestors of the Chen family, except for our dead parents and parents! I, Han Yuling, am a member of the Chen family! Death is the ghost of the Chen family! You don't have the right to divorce me!! Because you are the unfilial son of the Chen family!! The sinners of the Chen family! ”

That's just the end of the story! Chen Chuanhu is like five thunders! Stand there and look at Yuling! The two looked at each other, and he didn't know what to say!

Yuling turned around at this time to open the door and leave!

"Stop!!"

"What for! You can't beat me if you want to! ”

"Nope! Yuling, I'm sorry. I just want to ask you, is homesick? Chen Chuanhu lowered his head and looked at the ground and whispered.

"Why am I homesick! This is my home! Who is as disease-free as you**! After speaking, Yuling came back again, picked up Chen Chuanhu's changed clothes, and walked out of the door.

Chen Chuanhu stood alone in the room, his eyes blank. Suddenly the door opened again, and Yuling stood in the door and said, "That's right! This Sunday, the senior staff of Ambrera will have a banquet in our restaurant, and we will set up six tables of meals. Also, they booked a room for a sitting on Saturday! I invited the engineer's family to come, you think about it, I thought I took a deposit! ”

"Don't worry, I won't forget. Thank you Yuling. ”

Chen Chuanhu walked back to his recliner after speaking, and he closed his eyes and thought back to the wrong things he had done in Raccoon Town.
