"Gu Jiuyan, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly. I have a strong heart and as long as it doesn't involve money, it's usually easy to talk to."

When Gu Jiuyan heard this, he was both angry and amused at the same time.

However, he also knew that he could not hide this from his wife, and he had originally planned to tell her the day before he left, but now he suddenly changed his mind.

"I received an order today and will leave for Qiongzhou Island the day after tomorrow." As for the rest, since it was confidential, he didn't say a word. Besides, sometimes, knowing too much is not a good thing.

When Gu Jiuyan thought about the danger of this mission, his heart sank and the expression on his face became solemn.

Several waves of people they sent over there have been defeated.

Shen Yunshu was unexpectedly calm: “When will you be back?”

“…I don’t know…” It might take one or two months, or maybe half a year, but he would complete the task in the shortest time possible.

Gu Jiuyan knew that his wife and children were still waiting for him to return home.

"You must rush back on the day the child is born, otherwise the child's father will be replaced, Gu Jiuyan, did you hear me?" Shen Yunshu, who tried his best to suppress his emotions, spoke with a trembling voice.

Gu Jiuyan hugged her distressedly: "Wife, I will definitely come back early, you just be good at home... If you have any difficulties, don't be stubborn."

"I will. You must take good care of yourself outside and come back to me safely." From the day she married Gu Jiuyan, Shen Yunshu was prepared to be apart from her husband more often.

But... when she thought about being apart for so long, her heart still felt empty.

The same scene was also played out at the Jiang family's house in the tube-shaped building.

Jiang Chen tremblingly told the story of his trip to Qiongzhou Island. Liu Meiling, who was busy mending clothes under the dim light, froze in her hands.

"Is the mission... dangerous..."

"It's dangerous. If I can't come back this time, you can remarry with the children. I've already made arrangements with my family, and they won't make things difficult for you."

Jiang Chen's eyes were red, but this was his mission and duty as a soldier. He had no other choice. Even if he didn't go, there would be others who would go.

From the moment he entered the military camp, he was ready to disregard life and death.

Liu Meiling wiped the tears from her face and said stubbornly:

"I am a member of the Jiang family in life and a ghost of the Jiang family in death. No matter whether you can come back alive or not, I will not remarry with my children. I will always protect our little family."

"Thank you, wife." Jiang Chen hugged Liu Meiling tightly, tears streaming down his face.

For Jiang Chen, his life is worth it just because he can marry Liu Meiling.

Grandma Gu and the other three also learned from Mr. and Mrs. Shen that Gu Jiuyan was going to Qiongzhou Island. They remained silent.

When she returned to her room, Mother Gu hid in her bed and cried for a long time.

At first, she absolutely refused to agree to her son Gu Jiuyan joining the army because she was worried that he might get into an accident. After all, he was the only child she and Old Gu had had for so many years.

Thinking of the dangerous mission her in-laws described, her tears couldn't stop falling and her heart ached like needles.

Grandma Gu looked at the bulge in the quilt, and her heart was full of words of comfort that came to her lips, but finally turned into a deep sigh.

Her precious grandson...must come back safely...

Shen Yunshu was dreaming again. She dreamed that Gu Jiuyan was covered in blood and fell to the ground. No matter how she shouted, Gu Jiuyan did not respond.

After a long time, a wild boar came out from nowhere and circled around him. Then she watched Gu Jiuyan, lying in a pool of blood, being eaten by the wild boar.

The dream was too real, and Shen Yunshu was awakened by fear. The first thing she did when she woke up was to look at Gu Jiuyan beside her pillow.

Fortunately, it was a dream, but I felt a piercing pain in my heart.

"Wife, did you have a nightmare?" Gu Jiuyan held her in his arms and comforted her softly.

"I dreamed that you were injured, and no matter how I called you, you wouldn't wake up. In the end, I watched you being eaten by a wild boar." Shen Yunshu burst into tears as he spoke.

She didn't want anything to happen to Gu Jiuyan, and she didn't want the baby in her belly to be fatherless as soon as it was born.

What’s important is that she likes Gu Jiuyan, she loves Gu Jiuyan.

"That was all a dream, not real. Your man is so capable, he will definitely come back safely."

Where Shen Yunshu couldn't see, Gu Jiuyan had a serious expression. In fact, what he didn't tell her was that this mission was the most difficult one he had encountered in all these years.

They have already written their suicide notes. If they don't come back this time, the political commissar will hand them over to their families.

Shen Yunshu was so anxious that every time she closed her eyes in the second half of the night, she would see the image of Gu Jiuyan being eaten by a wild boar, which was so bloody that it made her feel sick.

As soon as the sky was getting light, Gu Jiuyan went out to do morning exercises. Shen Yunshu, who had not been asleep yet, quickly locked the door from the inside.

Enter the space, light the talisman paper, and summon the grandparents in the underworld.

Grandma Jiang asked with concern: "Shushu, have these babies in your belly been bothering you lately?"

"They're very well behaved, Grandpa and Grandma. I called you here because I need your help."

When Shen Yunshu thought of the scene in her dream, she became panicked and terrified. She was afraid... the dream was real.

Grandpa Jiang also noticed that something was wrong with his granddaughter and comforted her, "Shushu, don't worry, talk slowly. We are here for you, old couple, and we will never let anyone bully you."

Then, Shen Yunshu told the dream without reservation.

"I don't want to believe it either, but the dream is too real. I'm afraid... I'm afraid that something unexpected will happen at Gu Jiu's party."

Grandma Jiang wanted to comfort her by saying that it was just a dream and not real, but when she met her granddaughter's red and swollen eyes, she swallowed the words back.

Grandpa Jiang was not so optimistic. After explaining something, he disappeared out of thin air the next second.

When Grandpa Jiang appeared in front of the grandfather and grandson again, he was holding two bright yellow amulets in his hands.

"I consulted Judge Cui, and my grandson-in-law is destined to live a long life. What Shushu just experienced was just a nightmare. Don't worry."

"Really?" Shen Yunshu excitedly grabbed Grandpa Jiang's arm.

"When has Grandpa ever lied to you? These two amulets were obtained from the King of Hell. Have Jiuyan wear them. Don't take them off no matter what happens. They can save his life in times of crisis."

Grandpa Jiang handed one of the amulets to Shen Yunshu.

"Thank you, Grandpa." Shen Yunshu held it tightly in his hand like a life-saving straw, feeling much more at ease.

"There's another one. Ask Jiuyan to pass it on to Jiang Chen, who's on a mission with him. Just like Jiuyan, never take it off your body."

Thinking of Judge Cui's words, Grandpa Jiang felt scared. No matter what, he had to protect the lives of his grandson-in-law and the boy named Jiang.
