After night fell, the great grandfather ate some simple food alone. Gu Hua, at this time, only relied on milk to survive every day. After the grandfather and grandson had filled their stomachs, they lit candles and walked to the cellar together.

The great grandfather came to the cellar and pressed a button somewhere, and a secret room appeared inside the cellar.

The cellar was ingeniously designed, with oil lamps hanging on the walls.

The grandfather lit the oil lamps one by one, and the lights instantly illuminated the entire space. With the bright light, Gu Xiangsi finally saw the scene in the cellar clearly.

The room was filled with large wooden boxes, hundreds of them. Tang Hua was shocked when she saw them. She wondered what her great-grandfather's identity was before the war.

At this time, Grandpa Gu said, "There are some coarse grains in the cellar outside, and the fine grains brought back from Kyoto are all here. Since you can hide them, help Grandpa hide these things as well. Anyway, these things will be yours in the future."

After listening to his great-grandfather's words, Tang Hua felt a sense of responsibility.

Tang Hua waved her hand and another 20,000 kilograms of grain appeared. Then her consciousness found a permanent hiding talisman paper. With a wave of her hand, the things were hidden. Gu Zhonghua was shocked, as if he felt a force.

He looked down at the person in his arms and asked, "Is this a hidden charm? Is using these bad for your health? If so, don't use them in the future. Got you understood? Let's get out."

Tang Hua gave a toothless smile, and Gu Zhonghua understood.

After coming out, the secret room closed automatically without any trace. When Tang Hua came out to the outer cellar, he thought of the radishes from his aunt's house. He waved his hand and released several hundred kilograms of rice and flour.

Gu Zhonghua looked at her puzzledly, as if he had thought of something, and tried to ask, "Is this placed in the cellar just for show?" Tang Hua pulled his great-grandfather's beard and made a few "ah ah ah" sounds.

Gu Zhonghua asked again, "Give it to your aunt's house?" This time Tang Hua finally showed her standard toothless smile again.

"Good boy, your grandfather wants to thank you. It's a year of famine now and the whole village is hungry. It would be too conspicuous to give the food to them now. The food I gave them last night is enough for them to eat for a while. When it rains in the second half of the year and the famine is over, let your aunt take the food to them," Gu Zhonghua touched Tang Hua's head.

Tang Hua hugged Gu Zhonghua's neck, babbling, with a happy smile on her face.

Gu Zhonghua walked out of the cellar holding Tang Hua and locked the door. He looked up at the sky, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.

"This dark war has just begun. When can our country live a peaceful life?" he said softly.

Afterwards, he carried Tang Hua back to the room and brought her hot water for a bath. Half an hour later, the grandfather and granddaughter lay down on the kang. The weather was very comfortable after Qingming Festival, and she fell asleep quickly while drinking milk.

Gu Zhonghua looked at Tang Hua's innocent appearance. Gu Zhonghua patted her gently and slowly closed his eyes.

He hopes that Tang Hua can grow up healthy and happy. At the same time, he also hopes that the war will end soon so that the people can live a peaceful life.

In his dream, Gu Zhonghua seemed to see a peaceful and prosperous country where people lived and worked in peace and contentment and laughter echoed in every corner.

The next morning, the sunlight shone through the window onto the kang.

Tang Hua stretched and opened his eyes.

She looked at Gu Zhonghua and smiled sweetly.

Gu Zhonghua also woke up. He stroked Tang Hua's hair and said, "Little lazy bug, get up." Tang Hua turned over by herself. She needed to practice turning over more often. After turning over a few times, she lay down tired. Soon, Gu Zhonghua made her some milk, dressed her, and then held her to feed her.

After taking care of Tang Hua, Gu Zhonghua prepared breakfast for himself. After breakfast, Gu Zhonghua took Tang Hua for a walk in the yard.

Tang Hua looked at the simple courtyard. In the village, great-grandfather's house was the best. He was sent back by a military vehicle that year. The guards helped build a small courtyard and a brick house with three rooms: a living room, a bathroom, a kitchen, and a utility room where great-grandfather stored firewood.

I heard from my grandfather that my great-grandfather came back in 50, and now it is only 60, the last year of the famine. I heard from my uncle-in-law that there are many people fleeing famine outside, all of them are pale and thin, as thin as paper men. In fact, she saw it when she was carried out by her aunt yesterday. Those in the village with large families are also like this, as thin as refugees, and the clothes they wear are all patched up.

Tang Hua was thinking whether he should give some more food to the families in the village who were particularly needy.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the gate of the yard being opened with a creak.

It turned out to be Aunt Li from next door. She was standing at the door with a bowl in her hand. She said a little embarrassedly, "Mr. Gu, I'm out of rice. Can you lend me some?"

Gu Zhonghua looked embarrassed. These days, no one has enough food. He looked at the visitor and said, "I don't have any rice at home. If my sister's family had rice, they wouldn't all be so hungry that they have to eat tree roots."

Aunt Li next door said a little embarrassedly, "When I came back the night before yesterday, I didn't see a bag of grain."

Gu Zhonghua's face fell instantly, and he looked at Aunt Li with deep eyes and said, "That was the ration my comrade-in-arms gave to his granddaughter for three months. I only ate steamed corn bread myself."

When Aunt Li saw that she couldn't get any food, she took the bowl and went out.

After watching the people leave, Gu Zhonghua held her in his arms and sat on the reclining chair in the yard, muttering to himself, "Look at the weather, it will take at least the second half of the year for it to rain. I hope the people can hold on."

Tang Hua gazed at the respected grandfather in front of him, and a feeling of admiration welled up in his heart.

Although my great-grandfather is only fifty-three years old, the years seem to have left heavier marks on him, making him look as weathered as a man over sixty years old.

Looking back, when my great-grandfather returned to the village after the war, he was only in his forties.

He now looks older than his actual age.

Tang Hua couldn't help but wonder: Why is such an outstanding person still unmarried? Could it be that my great grandfather was a person from ancient times?

What particularly intrigued Tang Hua was that her grandmother had said that her great grandfather was a "magician"! You know, in that era, what ability did her great grandfather have to see through the secrets of heaven? After such a long and cruel baptism of war, how did he stick to and pass on this magical skill? If her great grandfather was so powerful, why did the country be destroyed before this parallel world was reversed?

All kinds of questions came to Tang Hua's mind, making him more awed and curious about his great-grandfather.

At this moment, she seemed to be in a mysterious world, eager to explore the mysteries hidden in it.

Suddenly, many things before the reversal flashed through Tang Hua's mind. She was stunned. Tiandao was crazy. He simply put a history from beginning to end into her mind like a movie. After watching the whole process, Tang Hua had to tell the truth. This Gu Zhonghua was a reincarnation with memories from ancient times. Before his reincarnation, he was a respected national teacher. Why was the country destroyed before time was reversed? As the saying goes, two fists cannot beat four hands. And it was not that Gu Zhonghua did not help at that time, but that the people above were already fighting fiercely. After the leaders and others were pulled down, those people did not hold back and sent all the people of this faction down to be killed. In particular, he also saw the follow-up of the Tang family, and none of them had a good end.

Hey, she is still just a two-month-old baby... She is still trying hard to sleep and drink milk. I hope she can grow up quickly.
