The human world - Shencheng

"Hey, He Keming's lantern art, an old hand. It's hard to see the authentic ones these days, and we can see them on this hero street! ”

"That's, it's all handed down. Come and travel, girls, take a look at ......."

"Yo, Old Leader He is out!"

On the crowded antique street, the old lady who set up a small bench and a small shelf in front of her house beckoned and responded with a smile: "Yes, come out to bask in the sun and cut a paper." ”

"The old Shanghai school has a craft," the woman who spoke introduced to the tourists, "The old man is a hundred years old, and he used to be the head of the front-line women's pioneer regiment, and he often cut for his comrades in the team. ”

He Yuan put an old photo album on his knees, put on reading glasses, and flipped to an old photo before the battle in Shencheng-

This is the one she sees most often, and it is a photo of her and her comrade-in-arms Minghe.

— and the only group photo.

But He Yuan actually doesn't need to look at the photos anymore, just bowing his head and cutting paper, he already knows the faces of his comrades.

She is already a hundred years old, and her eyes are not so good when she wears glasses, and from time to time she holds up the paper cut-outs to look in the sun.

But this time, when he raised his hand, there was a man standing in front of him.

The old man was stunned and slowly put down the paper-cut, but the lifelike face on the paper-cut became real inch by inch under the sun, the girl was carrying a big knife, the military uniform had not been changed, and she stood against the light, like a scene in a dream.

"Little girl......" The old lady looked at Minghe in front of her in a daze, her old hands gradually trembled, her eyes under the reading glasses were blurred with tears, and she fell down her cheeks on the old photo album, and her thoughts were crying because of the long time.

"You...... You look a lot like me. She said with a twitch of lips.

Tianfu - Old noodle restaurant

"It's still that bite, strong!"

"Needless to say, the father of this boss is the former squad leader of the cooking class, so I don't have to say anything about this skill!"

"Hey, why is the old man here!" The customer was praising when he suddenly saw the centenarian walking into the door, still in good spirits, "Say Cao Cao Cao has arrived." ”

Seeing this, the old customer smiled and said, "Old squad leader, have you come to inspect again?" ”

"That's," He Lianghong also sat down with a smile and said to the waiter who came over, "I'll see if the burden noodles you made are up to standard, don't embarrass me, cut corners and make black money!" ”

"I already knew that you had to carry the noodles," the waiter smiled at the old master, "I have already prepared you, and the bag is satisfied!" ”

After saying that, the hot dan noodles were served, He Lianghong looked at the noodles on the table, and when he picked up the chopsticks, someone suddenly sat opposite.

He Lianghong was stunned for a moment, and slowly looked up, but saw a shabby and thin military uniform, a young man's frosty eyebrows and frozen blue lips.

"Squad leader," the fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy looked at him and wept slowly, "I'm hungry, I want to eat our family's dan noodles." ”

He Lianghong's hands trembled, and he dropped the chopsticks in his hand under the incomprehensible gaze of the waiter, and burst into tears.

“…… Little four? ”

Qinhuai - Sanatorium

"My mother can't hold on for long, but the brutes have been dragging their feet, and they haven't apologized!"

"Aunt Sheng, calm down," the doctor's voice sounded outside the room, "Grandma Sheng's health is already very bad, she was tortured too much back then, and she is completely holding on to the thought of the present, we ......"

In the room, Sheng Baiwan closed her eyes, feeling the pain in her body for several years, the place where her leg was infected by the poisonous gas was still festering, and more invisible wounds on her body were also haunted by nightmares.

"The scenery on the banks of the Qinhuai River is prosperous, and the girl is ......"

The familiar sound of the lute sounded in my memory, gradually overlapping with reality.

Sheng Baiwan suddenly opened her eyes and stared blankly at the girl playing the pipa in the light.

She blinked, tears fell down the corners of her eyes, and her lips trembled: "Sister Yue...... It's you...... Is it? ”

"It's me." An Yue'e stopped her hand and looked at her with gentle eyebrows, "Sister Wan, I'm back to see you." ”

"All these years......" An Yue'e helped her wipe away her tears, holding up a smile, but the tears couldn't be stopped, "Thank you for your hard work." ”

Sheng Baiwan shook her head with tears in her eyes, but nodded again: "Sister Yue...... I feel bad. ”

"I'll take the pipa and sing a tune to you," An Yue'e touched her forehead, "Listen, we won't be uncomfortable." ”

Sheng Baiwan nodded slowly, watching her drop her fingers and play the pipa, but tears unconsciously soaked the pillow.

Zhongzhou - Hero Monument

"The part just now is still not good, we said that it was for the ancestors to blow the trumpet, how can it be bad?"

In front of the Heroes Monument, the teacher patiently said to the students holding the little military horn: "Let's perform again, go to the cemetery tomorrow, and we must blow the appearance of our new era teenagers to these seniors who protect the family and defend the country!" ”

"Good!" The children echoed in unison.

"Good boy," the teacher smiled reassuringly, and raised again, "Ready—"

The sound of the bugle was one step ahead of her command, and the teacher was stunned and looked up in the direction of the bugle.

All the children with trumpets also watched, standing under the national flag, staring at the trumpeter who blew the trumpet.

The military uniforms were scorched by artillery fire, and the military flags that had been scorched by the smoke of gunpowder fluttered in the wind.

The golden trumpet scorched and glowed, and the high-pitched sound of the trumpet lasted for a long time.

There was silence in front of the Heroes Monument for a long, long time, and the trumpeter slowly lowered the trumpet and looked at the group of children with red scarves in the crowd that seemed to be unaware.

The teacher unconsciously burst into tears, she wiped away her tears, and suddenly realized something.

Except for them, no one else seemed to notice the presence of the trumpeter.

"Students," she said, "salute the old-timers." ”

The children raised their hands one after another and saluted the Young Pioneers to the trumpeter, who looked at them in the sun and saluted at the moment when the white dove flew in front of the Hero Monument.

The dove of peace flew between the flags, as if a white bridge was built between artillery fire and tranquility, which was the meeting and companionship of different time and space.

— is a watchman that spans a century.

Furue - Central Hospital

"Don't worry, it's okay anymore, it's just that the old man is old, and he can't compare to the young man's body." After the doctor checked the ward, he helped the old man adjust the drip speed, and then said, "When you wake up, you can make up for it, let's go out first." ”

Nie Cang nodded slowly and followed the doctor out of the ward, leaving only the sound of the instrument "dripping" in the entire room.

I don't know how long it took, and a pair of hands gently wrapped the old man's old and thin hands.

Jiang Jin quietly looked at his beloved wife's appearance, and reached out to pry the corners of her forehead for her, just like before.

"Xinlan, I'm back to see you." Jiang Jin said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I've been dishonest for so long, and I haven't protected you yet." ”

He looked at his beloved wife's haggard face, and unconsciously wet his eyes, "I'm sorry, Xinlan, I'm sorry......"

Jiang Jin trembled, buried himself in his arms, and suddenly felt someone gently touch his head, and his voice was weak:

"I heard your voice in my dreams, and I thought about the strange things that had given me new hope...... Are you really back? ”

Jiang Jin raised her head suddenly, but saw Tang Xinlan suddenly stunned, and tears instantly accumulated in her eyes.

"Hibiscus ......" Tang Xinlan trembled and touched his face, "Does it hurt?" ”

Jiang Jian shook his head: "It doesn't hurt." ”

He chuckled, "Honorable." ”

Tang Xinlan also smiled, tears falling down her cheeks: "Okay." ”

"Don't cry, didn't I come back?" Jiang Jin helped her wipe away her tears, "There is no kapok now, but if it is ......"

As soon as he said the word "kapok", a golden light suddenly emanated from his arms, and Jiang Jin was stunned and took out the little white dove with paper folds from his arms.

The little white dove blinked suddenly, tilted its head at the two of them, and then spread its wings and flew around, shedding a pale golden light around the room: green branches and leaves grew, and the heroic flower bloomed with its powerful curved petals, spreading downward from the top of the tree in the spring.

- In this way, the hope of spring sun blooms in the depression season.

"It's ...... Kapok. Tang Xinlan looked at the grand scene in front of her and muttered.

[This is what my sister asked me to give to you. 】

The child's words echoed in his ears, and Jiang Jin bent his eyebrows and whispered "thank you".

"Wow! You see! There are so many white birds out there! It's beautiful! ”

Suddenly there was an exclamation outside, Jiang Jian and Tang Xinlan also looked at the glass, only to see the sky and the universe, and countless white birds spread their wings and soared.

"What is this?" Tang Xinlan looked at Jiang Jin's focused gaze, and her heart moved slightly.

"Homecoming, soul home." Jiang Jin looked at the white bird and said softly, "When you see the person you want to see, you will feel at ease." ”

"By the way," Jiang Jin looked at Tang Xinlan and chuckled, "I know a few little friends, and among them are our children." I'll tell you about ......."

Ding dong!

"KP Summary: The Universe Has Been Decided, Congratulations on Opening the Ekhi-Daybreak Way (Humanity Oriented)"

The white bird of the human world flew into the borderland, fluttering its wings and landing on the shoulders of Quan Heng and Mu Jing, as well as the Mad Hatter.

The three of them greeted each other slightly, and the white bird nodded, and in the next moment, he flew high again, heading towards the stars.

Under the gaze of countless people, it seems that the heroic soul turned into a white bird, flew to the nest of the sea of stars, followed the stars, and the soul settled in his hometown.
