Hua Lao and Wei Songbai secretly carried two basins of vegetables back to the cowshed. As they got closer, a coughing sound came from inside the cowshed. Da Lang, who was inside the cowshed, also heard the noise outside and opened the door to see the two men carrying a basin each.
The people sent down to Liujiatunzi were all capable due to various connections. A total of seven people were sent down: Hua Lao and Wei Songbai, a married couple who were colleagues of Wei Songbai, a businessman named Qian Duoduo, and the other three were former military leaders.
The two who fell ill this time were Qian Duoduo and the only woman, Ding Yuan, who was Wei Songbai's colleague. A few days ago, it rained, and these two people with weak constitutions fell ill. Liu Ercheng sent medicine to them after he found out, but they still haven't gotten better. Fortunately, Hua Lao prescribed medicine today, and they should be almost fully recovered after taking the medicine.
At this moment, two military leaders, Old Li and Old Zhang, emerged from the cowshed, along with Old Xu. Old Li and Old Zhang took the basin from Old Hua, while Wei Songbai, seemingly implying that a grown man couldn't even lift a basin, annoyed Wei Songbai. Wei Songbai, amused, jokingly threatened to kick them from behind.
After the four people entered the cowshed, everyone else came out, including Ding Nuan and Qian Duoduo, who were coughing. They were both helped out. After they came out, Ding Nuan asked about Wu Qiaoqiao's condition. After learning that she was alright, everyone was relieved.
You see, ever since they were sent down to Liujiatunzi, Liu Ercheng and the others have taken good care of them. Later, Wu Qiaoqiao also came here. Every time she said she was only sending things to Wei Songbai, you could tell from the amount that they were also included.
After seeing the dishes that Huang Lao and the others brought back, Ding Nuan's husband, Lao Yang, asked the group how they planned to eat them. Later, Hua Lao decided to take out half of the dishes, add some dried vegetables and stew them, and everyone would have that for dinner. The rest could be reheated and stewed with more dried vegetables the next day, so they could have a hearty meal again.
So while everyone else in the educated youth compound and the village was asleep, the few people in the cowshed had a delicious and warm meal. Ding Nuan and Qian Duoduo even felt much better.
When the entire Liujiatun village was completely silent at night, except for the occasional bark of the village dogs, there was no sound. At this time, three big men were lying side by side on the kang (a heated brick bed) in Zhao Xiuxiang's house. They were Feng Minghao, Feng Mingran, and Feng Minghao. Originally, Zhao Xiuxiang's house had another room, but everyone was too tired. Of the three, only Feng Mingran was a little better off. Feng Minghao and Liu Xiaobao had been on the train for several days.
The three men were sleeping soundly on a kang (a heated brick bed), snoring away. Liu Xiaobao could be faintly heard talking in his sleep, telling Liu Mingfeng to be careful. It seemed that he had been too tense on the train these past few days, and even now that he had relaxed, he was still talking in his sleep.
Feng Mingran was fast asleep, while Feng Minghao, who was sleeping next to him, had a furrowed brow, a pale face, and tears streaming down his face as he murmured incessantly.
"Father...eldest brother...second brother...Crown Prince, no...don't go."
"Wei'er, I'm sorry, I can't go back to keep my promise."
"Kill! Kill! Soldiers, follow me! Charge! Kill these barbarians!"
Lying on the bed, Liu Minghao kept muttering to himself, as if he were trapped in a deep nightmare and could not wake up. It wasn't until the first rooster crowed outside that Liu Minghao suddenly sat up and touched the wet feeling on his face. He couldn't help but cover his face with his hands, but the wetness coming out from between his fingers showed that his heart was not at peace.
It was only then that Feng Minghao realized why he felt so familiar with Lin Yuwei. She was the person he had been longing for. From childhood to adulthood, he would always have the same dream, a dream with real scenes and moments of being together. However, he could never make out the faces of the people in the dream. The woman he missed the most was the one he saw. Every time he saw her, his heart would ache involuntarily.
Every time he tries to see clearly, he wakes up from his dream. When he was a child, he told his parents about it, but they were worried it would be bad for his health. During that war-torn era, they searched everywhere for people to ask. Later, they met a person who seemed to have real skills. He told his parents that Feng Minghao was unwilling to accept his past life and hadn't finished drinking the Meng Po soup when he was reincarnated, so he carried the memories of his previous life. It didn't have any impact on his health, but if he couldn't find the woman in his dream, he might grow old alone.
As Feng Minghao grew older, he dreamed less and less. His parents probably thought that this was because the child's soul was unstable, which was why he dreamed. Now that he didn't dream anymore, they were relieved.
When Feng Minghao was 13 years old, he had been practicing martial arts with the people in his dreams since he was a child, so he looked like a 16 or 17-year-old boy. There were also precocious girls living in the military compound. Seeing that Liu Minghao was good-looking and from a good family, they tried to get close to him. It was only then that Feng Minghao's parents realized that he actually had a deep aversion to those girls.
Only then did they realize that what the man said was true. If they couldn't find the woman in his dream, their eldest son might really have to live a lonely life. Feng Minghao's father, Feng Guoqiang, didn't care much. You have to know that in his time, there were countless unmarried people. But his mother, Liu Mengmeng, tried every possible way, but no matter what she did, she was helpless.
Liu Mengmeng could only watch as her son's aversion to the women who tried to get close to him deepened, to the point that he would break out in rashes if they fell on him. Later, the couple had no other choice but to send their son to the army when he was 17 years old. After all, although there were female soldiers there, it was still much better than being outside.
After joining the army, Feng Minghao gradually stopped dreaming and simply buried that memory deep in his heart.
Feng Minghao hadn't been home for five years after joining the army because he was afraid of the women in the compound who would try to introduce him to potential wives as he got older. This time, it was only after his mother wrote to him asking him to come back that he returned. However, upon his return, he learned that his cousin Mingshan, the son of his maternal uncle, had gotten into trouble, and that his cousin's wife, Mingfeng, had been injured by Mingshan's wife's family. His mother was very worried, so he simply came to the area.
It was only after he came here and saw Lin Yuwei that he saw everything clearly in his dream.
