Cultivating Immortals through the Ages

Chapter 9 Unseen things

One month after Zhong Xing left, Grandpa Zhong received a letter from his son, saying that he was assigned to the Southeast War Zone and lived well there.

Later, his comrade-in-arms Lao Ding also sent him a letter. The general content was similar to that of his son, with a sentence added at the end, and he will pay attention to it from time to time.

After that, Grandpa Zhong received several letters from his old comrades one after another, all about Zhong Xing.

The letters also often praised Zhong Xing, saying that he is talented and has good understanding.Born to fight.

One day, Grandpa Zhong received another letter from his comrades in arms, and learned that his son was sent to the battlefield.

When he saw the contents of the letter, Grandpa Zhong's heart skipped a beat, and he was worried.

Sure enough, shortly after receiving the letter from his comrade-in-arms, he received a letter from his son.The previous content is similar to what Lao Ding wrote.

Later, the son told his ideals and aspirations to him, and Grandpa Zhong could see how excited his son was from the content of the letter.

Grandpa Zhong knew the cruelty of war, and he was also very worried about his son's safety.However, this is his son's choice, he can't stop it, and he can't stop it.

He knew that once he was on the battlefield, he couldn't send messages out at will.Even with Lao Ding's current position, he cannot freely disclose any information on the battlefield.

I can only pray silently in my heart, hoping that all the soldiers who went to the front line can return safely.

Time doesn't stand still for anyone.In a flash, Zhong Xing has been on the battlefield for more than a year.

For such a long time, Grandpa Zhong has not received a single message about his son.

The old comrade-in-arms often wrote to him, talking about their experiences of fighting together, but never mentioned anything about his son.

Grandma Zhong couldn't receive her son's letter, she cried all day long, was so worried that she couldn't eat or sleep well, and often woke up from her dream.

Grandpa Zhong often comforted him by saying: "No news is good news. When the battle is won, my son will definitely write back. Even if my son doesn't write, Lao Ding will write."

After hearing this, Grandma Zhong felt relieved and stayed by the radio wholeheartedly, hoping to hear news of the victory from it.

After waiting for more than half a year, I finally heard the news of victory on the radio.

Before they were happy, Grandpa Zhong received a letter from his comrade Lao Ding.

Before seeing the content, he found a pen dropped from the letter, which left Grandpa Zhong dumbfounded.

Grandpa Zhong picked up the broken pen that fell on the ground.After looking carefully, the tears could no longer stop flowing out.

He gave this pen to his son before he got in the car. At that time, he just hoped that his son could use this pen to write letters to him from time to time.

Unexpectedly, the pen came back now, but the person did not. Grandpa Zhong felt that the letter in his hand weighed a thousand catties.

Looking at the deformed pen, I never opened the letter for a long time.

After a long time, the tears on his face dried up, and Grandpa Zhong carefully opened the envelope.

After opening the letter and seeing the contents inside, Grandpa Zhong still couldn't help but feel heartbroken. His only son still died in this battle.

Lao Ding blamed himself, saying that he did not take good care of Zhong Xing, and kept apologizing to him in the letter.

Grandpa Zhong knew that this had nothing to do with Lao Ding, and Lao Ding had no control over matters on the battlefield.

After reading the letter, just as he was about to put it away, Grandma Zhong saw the letter.

Grandma Zhong used to be in the Red Army, and she also went to a literacy class when she was in the army. She knew many common words, and at least she had no problem reading letters.

Grandpa Zhong folded up the letter and wanted to confuse it, but was stopped by Grandma Zhong.

He also teased him and said: "If there is something shameful, you still have to carry me behind your back."
