Help!There are monsters in this pawnshop

Chapter 40
It turned out that when Xiao Xia and Zhang Daniu separated——

On the way to lead the villagers to transfer, he was ambushed by devils and died.

but--

Zhang Daniu did not die.

The first thing Zhu Xiaozhou did when he returned to reality was to find out what Zhang Daniu and Xiao Xia had agreed to——

After the war, under the old pagoda tree that we were going to meet.

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

An old man over seventy years old with gray temples.
Zhu Xiaozhou only thought he looked familiar, but couldn't remember where he had seen him.

After inquiring, he learned that his adoptive father's surname was Zhang Jichun.

His biological father was the youngest soldier in Zhang Daniu's team.Unfortunately, he later died on the Korean battlefield. At that time, he was not born——

When the biological mother was giving birth, she was deeply saddened by the news of her husband's death in battle.

". Later, the doctor who delivered my mother said that my mother lay on the operating table with her mouth covered in blood, but she couldn't give birth. They secretly said, 'It's broken, this baby I can't keep it'."

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

The medical conditions at that time were very simple.

Unlike now, when medical technology is so advanced, at that time, there were many women who died and gave birth to children.

His mother cried day and night before giving birth, and she was very emaciated.

I struggled for nearly 12 hours, but failed to give birth to the baby.

The amniotic fluid has broken, and the mother has collapsed. According to the doctor, the hope of the mother and child's survival is almost zero.

At this time, a nurse bowed her head and said something in her ear——

"...This is his son, you have to leave him a queen."

It was because of this sentence that Uncle Zhang's mother uttered a rage, and a surge of energy came from nowhere, and she insisted on giving 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 and closed her eyes when she heard the child's cry.

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 is Shangqiu, and my third brother is Youdong." Uncle Zhang said.

Following spring, still autumn, and winter
Only, there is no Xia.

After that year's parting, he lost Xia forever.

So for the rest of my life, there is 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 others persuade him, he is determined not to find another wife.

He said that he was married before, and he married in his heart.

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

They could see the foster father's affection.

Zhu Xiaozhou has searched through a lot of information, trying to find Zhang Daniu's whereabouts.But there was no gain, thinking that Zhang Daniu had already died in an unknown battle.

Uncle Zhang took Zhu Xiaozhou to visit Zhang Daniu.

now--

The once bright-eyed young man full of vigor and vitality has long since become an old man lying unconscious on a hospital bed and barely sustaining signs of life with various medical equipment.

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

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

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

When he came back from the Korean battlefield, he had already lost a leg, and in the next ten years, he was tortured a lot because of his birth.

Finally survived all the hardships, but 12 years ago, because of an unexpected car accident——

causing him to be in a coma.

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

He will take over from him and wait under the old pagoda tree whenever he is free.Maybe he can really wait for the person he has been waiting for, maybe.

"Xiaoxia, after separating from him back then, she died."

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 the rare peace.

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

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

But Xiaoxia was never found, so he should have already guessed the result.

While talking, Xiao Xia walked in, stood beside the bed, quietly looking at her aging 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 here too.

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

She remembered everything.

They had agreed that they would get married after the war
"But you, why have you become so old?" Xiao Xia felt distressed.

The old man on the hospital bed is nearly a hundred years old and has been in a coma for 12 years. Thanks to the filial piety of his children and grandchildren, his life can continue forever.

Even though his soul left his body, he remained in this world forever.

He is still guarding here, waiting for the girl he promised.

A drop of tears from the deceased fell on the old man's face, turning into a crystal.

"Zhang Daniu" sat up from his body, still looking like the boy at that time.

He finally got his girl
"Sister, thank you." Xiao Xia said.

Watching the two of them disappear through the window, the equipment beside the hospital bed issued a sharp warning sound.Doctors and nurses rushed to rescue him, but——

Zhang Daniu is dead.

Zhu Xiaozhou handed the colored glaze buckle to Uncle Zhang.

It is said that she was entrusted by Xiaoxia's family to come to fulfill her wish.Ask them to bury this safety buckle together with old man Zhang Daniu——

Holding a black umbrella, I walked down the path under the drizzle.

Looking at the people coming and going on the road, Zhu Xiaozhou felt like a ghost in a trance.

Perhaps, this is the meaning of Qiyundang's existence.
Back in Qiyundang, I ticked off the Liuli safety button on grandma's account book.

Write down three words, "redeemed".

Closing the notebook, looking at the rain outside the store, although I felt regretful, I also got the long-lost peace.

Maybe--

They will live happily together in another world.As they once expected, get married, have children, and the family will never be separated again
More than half a century is really too long.

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

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

"I'm thinking, should I practice hard?"

Zhu Xiaozhou turned around and saw him.

Continue to say lazily, "I still think that although those gods and spirits in the past, who sacrificed their lives in the catastrophe of that year, will no longer exist, but if there is another war, there will still be countless gods who will come to the world and turn into brave and unparalleled Soldiers, to protect this piece of land - let's fight to the death."

"Maybe"

However, what does this have to do with her cultivation?
Bai Yuan thought carefully, "If there is another war, is it possible that you also want to go to the battlefield?"

"Why not." Zhu Xiaozhou looked at the rain with misty eyes, and the mist was everywhere, and it seemed that the shadows of "they" guarding here could still be seen in the world.

The tough and upright figure guards every compatriot worthy of protection, watches their happy life today, and prevents any possible harm from accidents.

Zhu Xiaozhou said, "If the enemy is not dead, it will be a disaster in the end. Did they stop the war because they suddenly found out their conscience? It's just that they can't bear the troubles brought by the war. Once they have the opportunity, the benefits they can get Far greater than future troubles, it is hard to guarantee that they will not make a comeback again. Every Chinese should be vigilant at all times."

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