It turned out that after Xiao Xia and Zhang Da Niu separated-

On the way to lead the fellow to transfer, he was ambushed by the devil and died.

But—

Zhang Daniu did not die.

The first thing Zhu Xiaozhou did when he returned to reality was to find the agreement between Zhang Daniu and Xiao Xia back then-

Wait until after the battle, under the old locust tree to meet.

It is precisely because of this that I met Zhang Daniu's adopted son.

An old man in his seventies with gray temples......

Zhu Xiaozhou only felt that he was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

stepped forward to inquire and learned that his adoptive father's surname was Zhang, called Zhang Jichun.

His biological father is the youngest soldier in Zhang Daniu's team. It's a pity that he later died on the battlefield in Korea, and at that time, he was not yet born -

When her biological mother was about to give birth, she learned the bad news that her husband had died in battle, and her grief was unbearable.

“...... Later, the doctor who delivered my mother said that my mother was lying on the operating table and her mouth was bitten and her mouth was full of blood, but she couldn't give birth. And they secretly said, 'Oh no, this kid can't keep ......'"

Uncle Zhang sat under the tree and talked to Zhu Xiaozhou about the past.

The medical conditions at that time were rudimentary.

Unlike now, when medical technology is so advanced, at that time, there were many women when they were dead and had children.

His mother wept day and night before giving birth and was very emaciated.

I struggled for nearly 12 hours, but I couldn't give birth to the baby.

The amniotic water has broken, the mother has collapsed, and the doctors have said that the hope of survival of the mother and son is almost zero.

At this time, a nurse bowed her head and whispered something in her ear -

“...... This is his son, you must leave him a queen. ”

Because of this sentence, Uncle Zhang's mother was ruthless, and a wave of strength came up from nowhere, and she gave birth to the child. The screams echoed in the operating room, and everyone who heard it was shocked......

The child fell to the ground, but the mother's blood could not be stopped, she glanced at the child, heard the child's cry, and closed her eyes.

Later, it was his adoptive father, Zhang Daniu, who found him after returning from the Korean battlefield-

Adopted him.

In addition to him, Zhang Daniu also adopted the orphans of two other comrades-in-arms.

"My name is Jichun, my second brother's name is Shang Qiu, and my third brother's name is Youdong." Uncle Zhang said.

Following spring, autumn, and winter......

Only, there is no summer.

After his separation that year, he lost Xia forever.

So for the rest of my life, there will be no summer.

In the days that followed, Zhang Daniu dragged his three children to live alone, and worked hard for most of his life. No matter how persuaded by the people around him, he resolutely refused to find another wife.

He said that he had married, and he had married in his heart.

When Uncle Zhang said these words, tears rolled in his eyes.

The affection of the adoptive father, they see in their eyes.

Zhu Xiaozhou has searched through many materials and tried to find Zhang Daniu's whereabouts. But there was no gain, and I thought that Zhang Daniu had already ended up in a nameless battle.

Uncle Zhang took Zhu Xiaozhou to visit Zhang Daniu.

Nowadays -

The young man who used to have bright eyes, full of vigor and vitality, has long since become an old man lying unconscious on a hospital bed, barely able to maintain signs of life with the help of various medical equipment.

"He's too old...... Uncle Zhang said, and he also hopes that his adoptive father can live forever.

But their adoptive father had been asleep for too long, and "that day" was only a matter of time.

Zhang Daniu is not dead, but it is almost dead.

When he returned from the Korean battlefield, he had already lost a leg, and in the following decade, he was tortured a lot because of his background.

finally survived all the hardships, but twelve years ago, because of an unexpected car accident-

caused him to be in a coma to this day.

After he fell into a coma, his adopted sons and grandchildren discussed—

Replace him, and when he is free, he will wait under the old locust tree. Maybe he can really wait for the person he has been waiting for, maybe he can.

"Xiao Xia, after separating from him that year, he sacrificed."

Zhu Xiaozhou brought a sad news.

At the same time, she was wondering-

Zhang Daniu is obviously not dead, but his soul has left his body, and he is ...... with countless former comrades-in-arms

Guarding a rare peace.

Uncle Zhang was silent for a long time before he said, "Maybe my father has already guessed ......"

After the battle, Zhang Daniu has been looking for news of Xiao Xia.

But he never found Xiao Xia, so he should have guessed the result.

While talking, Xiao Xia walked in, stood by the bed, and quietly looked at her old lover on the hospital bed-

Zhu Xiaozhou looked at Uncle Zhang.

Fortunately, Uncle Zhang didn't see this scene, he didn't even know that Xiao Xia was also here.

Xiao Xia smiled slightly at the person on the hospital bed.

She remembered everything.

They had agreed that they would get married when the war was over......

"But how did you get so old?" Xiao Xia was distressed.

The old man on the hospital bed was nearly 100 years old and had been in a coma for 12 years, but thanks to the filial piety of his children and grandchildren, his life could continue forever.

His soul remained in this world even though it left the body.

He was still guarding the place, waiting for the girl he had agreed to.

A tear of the deceased fell on the old man's face, turning into a touch of crystal.

"Zhang Daniu" sat up from his body, still the same young man as he was at that time.

He finally waited for his girl......

"Sister, thank you." Xiao Xia said.

Watching the two of them disappear into the window, the instrument next to the hospital bed emitted a sharp warning sound. Doctors and nurses rushed to the rescue, but-

Zhang Daniu is dead.

Zhu Xiaozhou handed over the glass safety buckle to Uncle Zhang.

said that she was entrusted by Xiao Xia's family to come to fulfill her wish. Please ask them to bury this peace buckle with the old man Zhang Daniu-

Holding a black umbrella, he walked along the path where it was drizzling.

Zhu Xiaozhou looked at the people coming and going on the road, and suddenly felt like a ghost.

Perhaps, this is the meaning of Qiyundang's existence......

returned to Qiyundang and ticked the glass safety buckle on his grandmother's account book.

Three words were written, "redeemed".

Closing the notebook and looking at the rain outside the store, although I have regrets in my heart, I have also gained a long-lost peace.

Maybe—

They will live happily together in another world. Just as they once expected, get married, have children, and the family will never be separated again......

More than half a century is too long.

"What are you thinking?" Bai Yuan asked her.

It can be seen that Zhu Xiaozhou has grown up after this.

"I'm wondering if I should practice hard."

Zhu Xiaozhou looked back and saw that it was him.

He continued to say lazily, "Still thinking about it...... Although the former gods and spirits no longer exist in the catastrophe of the year, if there is another war, there will still be countless gods who will come into the world and turn into heroic warriors to protect this land - fight to the death. ”

"Maybe......"

However, what does this have to do with her cultivating well?

Bai Yuan pondered carefully, "If there is another war, is it possible that you also want to go to the battlefield?" ”

"Why not." Zhu Xiaozhou's eyes looked at the rain ethereally, the mist was everywhere, and the world seemed to be able to still see the shadow of "them" guarding here.

The tenacious and upright figure guards every compatriot worthy of protection, watching their happy life today, and preventing all the harm that accidents may bring.

Zhu Xiaozhou said, "If the enemy does not die, it will be a disaster in the end." Did they stop the war because their conscience suddenly found out? It's just that they can't afford the consequences of the war. Once they have the opportunity, the benefits they can get far outweigh the future troubles, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not make a second comeback. Every Chinese should be vigilant at all times. ”

Our ancestors taught us with their blood that only by uniting together can we destroy all aggression and conspiracy.
