Strive for Science

"Then, how do we go back?" Xiaobing was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and he was curious about everything. When he heard the squad leader said that he wanted to go back, he immediately withdrew his eyes from looking around and stood at attention.

"If you have a car or a boat, you will definitely be able to go back." The squad leader stood up straight and bowed to Shen Changan: "Little comrade, thank you, we should go back."

Shen Chang'an paused slightly, "I wish you to return to your hometown as soon as possible and reunite with your relatives. If there is an afterlife... may your next life be safe and happy, and you will never encounter disasters or wars."

As soon as he finished speaking, the bodies of the five ragged young men slowly floated up. They saw themselves flying higher and higher, and they saw the capital bathed in the sun.

High-rise buildings, criss-crossed roads, and densely packed cars that were once called rare objects.

Things that were once unimaginable in dreams have all become reality here.

The four soldiers who didn't know that they had died in battle gradually recalled that they were not lost, but died together with the enemy.

They died, and with New China, the common people lived a good life.

Thinking of this, they were relieved again.

Shu Province, more than 1000 kilometers away from the imperial capital, has just welcomed back the ashes of a group of martyrs.The names of these martyrs are registered on the yellowed roster of soldiers who left Shu.

Before dawn, these urns covered with national flags were buried in the martyrs cemetery.

These martyrs have been lying in a foreign country for 80 years, and finally have the day to go home.

Outside the cemetery, dozens of veterans of the Anti-Japanese War gathered standing or sitting. Their eyes were blurred, their teeth fell out, and their hair was white, but their nostalgia for their comrades never ceased.

A 96-year-old veteran, with the support of his grandchildren, gently stroked the name on the martyr's monument, "Old fellows, go home."

"Zhao Zhu'er, Qian Erwa, Zhou Dong, Li Changgen, Zheng Qiang, Pei Qingsheng..." The old soldier's voice was a little hoarse, but he carefully identified the names on it, and gently pressed each name with his hands covered with age spots. Scratched, "Heroes, come home."

"Go home."

He still remembers the slogan that was often on his lips at that time.

"If the enemy army does not leave the country for a day, the Shu army does not return home for a day."

"If you win the battle, you will return in triumph. If you lose the battle, you will return wrapped in a corpse."

"Old fellows, we have won, and it's time to return home triumphantly."

After reading the old soldier, his voice was so hoarse that he could hardly make a sound. He was crying so much that he couldn't stand up straight while holding the martyr's stele.

"Toast a bowl of hometown wine, and let's go together as brothers in the next life." Another old soldier took out a bottle of old wine that had been treasured for many years, and put it in front of the tombstone with shaking hands, "It was agreed to come back together, and you all lied and lied. , lying in a foreign country first. After so many years, we are here to pick you up."

"Soul, return to my hometown."

"I often come back to the old wine from my hometown, and the delicious meat from my hometown. In the afterlife, life will be happy and worry-free."

Wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, the old soldier raised his head, in the blurred light of tears, he seemed to see those comrades in arms back then, and walked towards them beckoning friends.

They were still young, but they had put on new suits, brand new belts around their waists, and the leather boots on their feet were well polished.

"Come back."

"We're all coming back."

The old soldier rubbed his tearful eyes: "It's good to be back, it's good to be back."

The breeze is coming, and there are no shadows of comrades in arms.

But he believed that their heroic souls had found peace.

After the five anti-Japanese heroes disappeared, Shen Chang'an looked at Dao Nian, then at Shen Tu who was traveling with him, and rubbed his sour eyes: "Did you see the person standing in front of me just now?"

Shen Tu turned to look at Dao Nian, who slowly shook his head twice.

"This incident may be unbelievable to you, but the truth is sometimes so miraculous." Shen Changan pushed Dao Nian towards the parking lot, "Why don't we talk slowly in the car?"

"it is good."

Back in the car, Shentu drove silently. In order to let Shen Changan whisper to his husband at ease, he also thoughtfully helped raise the fender inside the car.

"I saw five people just now, right in front of us." Shen Chang'an specially emphasized, "I have no problem with my brain, and my mind is also very clear."

After recounting what happened just now, Shen Changan said: "I know you are a materialist, out of respect, I shouldn't show this behavior in front of you, but..." He paused for a moment, then continued, " But in the face of their five martyrs, I can't turn a blind eye to them."

After saying this, Shen Chang'an thought that Dao Nian was shocked, questioned, or refuted whether there were ghosts in the world, but Nian's face was calm, as if Shen Chang'an was talking about what he had for breakfast just now.

"You... have nothing to tell me?" Dao Nian didn't have much reaction, Shen Changan was relieved, but also inexplicably disappointed, this reaction was too calm, when his three views were shattered, but Tossed and turned all night.

"What?" Dao Nian thought for a while, "What gift should I bring to visit my elders?"

"You don't have to worry about that, I'm ready." Shen Chang'an said, "Those grandparents and uncles don't have much pursuit of material things."

Because they are all TOP cancers, they are more strict in spiritual pursuit.

"I also prepared some at will." Dao Nian nodded, "Since that's the case, there's nothing more to say."

Shen Changan: "..."

Can't we talk about the possibility and science of ghosts?

After going through strict security checks, the car Shen Chang'an and Dao Nian were riding in finally drove into the compound successfully.The compound was still the same as Shen Changan remembered, with blue tiles and red walls, and there were familiar faces and strange faces among the guards.

"Comrade, please show your ID." The young guard at the sentry box saluted Shen Chang'an.

"Chang'an?" Another guard came out from the courtyard gate, saw Shen Chang'an, and smiled at him, "Are you back?" Seeing that he was carrying big bags and small bags, the two strangers behind him were also carrying bags. looking at all kinds of things, especially the one in the wheelchair, the whole wheelchair was full of things.The guard routinely tested the things he brought back, "I haven't seen them for more than a year, and I've lost weight... I've grown stronger."

The guard couldn't just say that Shen Chang'an lost weight, so he said, "The teachers were still talking about you two days ago, so you came back." Don't come back for half a year, and wait for the next few teachers to criticize you, don't talk back."

"Don't worry, Brother Lu, they must be reluctant to criticize too hard." Shen Changan took out a gift box from the big bag that Daonian was carrying and stuffed it into the guard's hand, "Brother Lu, this is the gift box I brought from my place of work." The Tuyi who came over, there is nothing particularly precious there, but the agricultural products are natural and delicious."

"Okay, let your sister-in-law cook and eat when I get back." The guard sent Shen Changan to the gate of the inner courtyard, and helped him open the door, "Go in, some teachers are playing chess in the courtyard."

The guard put down his things, smiled encouragingly at Shen Changan, turned around and walked back to the guard post.The young guard who stopped Shen Chang'an from asking for his documents just now asked curiously, "Brother Lu, who was that little comrade just now?"

"He was raised by those old experts in the yard. You didn't know it when you first came here. These old experts in the yard have no descendants. They raised him as their own descendants."

"Then what is the background of his family, so powerful?"

"What's the background? He's a poor kid." The first day Brother Lu came to work here happened to be the day when Shen Changan was sent to this yard.He still remembered that when Shen Changan was brought here, it was a cold winter, he was wearing some rustic clothes, his thin face was hidden under the scarf and hat, he looked a little pitiful.

It was later learned that the child's parents had passed away, and the grandmother in the country abused him again. An old chief personally made a decision not to send him to the orphanage, but to send him to the yard here to be raised.

He watched the child grow up day by day, watching him get better and better.Now that he is missing in the yard, the cursing voices of several old experts are not so vigorous.

"Then who are the two people who went in with him?" The young guard was a little curious, "Are they also related to the people in this yard?"

"Then I don't know. Since they can come in, there must be no problem."

As soon as Shen Changan stepped into the gate, he heard the sound of quarreling and the sound of chess pieces hitting the chessboard.

Listening to this sound, it doesn't sound like playing chess, it's more like smashing the chessboard.

Shen Chang'an, Dao Nian, and Shen Tu stood at the door, but no one gave them a second look.

"Grandpa Wang, Grandma Zhao, Grandma Chen, Grandpa Yang..." Shen Changan shouted without a pause, and several old people who were arguing endlessly turned their heads and looked over.

"Chang'an?" Grandma Zhao put her feet off the stool, straightened the shawl on her body, walked quickly to Shen Chang'an, and looked him up from head to toe, just when Shen Tu thought the two would have an affectionate hug At that moment, the old lady stretched out her hand and slapped Shen Changan on the shoulder.

With the sound of "pop", Shen Tu felt pain when he heard it, he turned to look at Mr., his eyebrows frowned slightly.

"You brat, I told you not to go or not, but you just wanted to go, and you can't do any work with us, you have to run so far." Grandma Zhao said, "When you go to the local area, are you used to eating and drinking? The work is carried out well. Did it go well, last time you said in the video, what bonus did you get?"

His shoulder hurt from being patted by Grandma Zhao, Shen Changan did not dare to hide, tried his best to coax the old lady, and then introduced Dao Nian to her: "During the time I was in Wuming City, I was always taken care of by my friends. friend……"

"You can call me Xiaonian." Dao Nian raised his hand and shook Grandma Zhao's hand, "Please forgive me for disturbing you."

"Heaven, God..." Grandpa Yang, who has always been quiet, saw Dao Nian, his hands were shaking, he couldn't even control his instinct, and he stood up respectfully.

Dao Nian glanced at him indifferently, then averted his gaze: "It's the first time we met, I brought some small gifts, I hope all the teachers don't dislike you."

What did Dao Nian say again, Grandpa Yang's mind was in a mess, he just looked at Dao Nian in a daze, guessing why he appeared here?

Is it the research of a certain human being here, which violates the will of the heavens and will be punished by the heavens?

Or did Tiandao find out that he was disguised as a human being and wanted to arrest him for questioning?

But as the Heavenly Dao that governs the life and death of the world, what he wants to do is just a matter of blinking and raising his hand, so why should he go there himself?

"Grandpa Yang, what's wrong with you?" Shen Changan stuffed the gift box into Grandpa Yang's hand, "Are you in a daze again?"

Grandpa Yang looked at Shen Changan, and slowly came back to his senses.

Also, how could Chang'an be with Lord Tiandao? !

The author has something to say: Grandpa Yang: It's the 21st century, the monster Sifan doesn't break the law, right? Is it necessary for Tiandao to catch me in person? !
