Nanxi dreamed that her father was walking alone in the endless wilderness, with a group of wolves following behind him.
She watched helplessly as her father was attacked, torn apart, and bleeding by a pack of wolves, but she was powerless to do anything.
Even after she regained consciousness, the terrifying dream still made her shudder and cry.
"Aunt Ying said that the saddest moment of a loved one's death is when you think of them again and again in your later life. I finally understand what she said now. Ba Xiaolu, I really don't have a father anymore..."
The little woman was still in shock and sat on the bed crying uncontrollably.
The man was at a loss, his heart was broken.
"I'm here, baby, you have me. I'll be with you all my life, guarding you and working like a slave for you, okay?" He rubbed his hands on her face, wiping away the tears that fell from her face again and again, but he couldn't wipe them away.
"Don't cry, Xixi, don't cry, your husband is here."
The man tried his best and coaxed the girl for a long time before she calmed down. Nanxi nestled in his arms in a daze.
"Brother Meng is fine now. He should wake up today. After a while, he will go to China to see his wife and children." Baru squeezed her palm, his magnetic voice coming out from his throat.
"Once these things are settled and Wu Jie is old enough to take over my position, I'll tell Brother Meng about retiring, okay? Baby? We'll go to China, you paint and I'll farm, and we'll never have to live on the edge of a knife again."
The hail of bullets never made him feel timid, and he always faced the intrigues and deceptions fearlessly. But when Sister Zhen Zhen appeared in front of him covered in blood, the evil dragon who had never feared death felt a chill all over his body for the first time. At that moment, he had an extremely firm belief that he must not let Xixi suffer such harm.
Myanmar is too dangerous and the power struggle is too cruel. He can pick up a knife to kill people and is not afraid of others putting a gun to his head, but his Nan Xiaoxi cannot do that.
He has a responsibility to the country and a vow to Nan Xiaoxi.
After much thought, the best way is to cultivate the next self.
Just like Brother Meng originally trained himself to be the next Wu Meng.
When Wu Jie can stand up again, it will be the time for him to fulfill his responsibilities to the country, the army, and Mengge.
At that time, Ba Xiaolu truly belonged to Nan Xiaoxi, and only to her.
"But, will there really be such a day?" Nanxi was still dazed, raising her red eyes and looking at him weakly.
"The power struggle is shocking only when you witness it with your own eyes. It's so brutal, even women and children can't escape it. They can be dead the next day while sleeping, and children can be murdered the next day while in school.
Ajie and Axiao are so young and cute. If something really happens to them, even I won’t be able to accept it, let alone their parents?
War is too cruel, political struggle is too brutal. Ba Xiaolu, how could these things happen one day? You have been fighting since you were a child, and things will only get more complicated, generation after generation, right?
She knew better than anyone that there were some things that he couldn't back out of just because he wanted to.
Even if he was willing to retreat, Mengge would not agree, the army would not agree, and his opponents would not agree either. If he retreated, he would only die.
"So you don't need to comfort me, Ba Xiaolu. Although I don't want you to live like this at all, I also know that this is your responsibility as a man and as a soldier. You are not only my Ba Xiaolu, you are also a soldier of Myanmar. You have the same responsibility to your country."
She forced a smile. "Since I earn money from your country, I'll reluctantly lend them my Ba Xiaolu. But you have to be safe, okay? If you dare get hurt, I'll take you back to China and never let you come back."
The man smiled innocently, "Alright, I'm yours, you have the final say."
"Silly dragon." The little woman poked his forehead with her slender fingers, then lay on him like a boneless person to relax, until the servant came and knocked on the door, asking them to go downstairs for breakfast.
As soon as the two of them sat down at the dining table, Zhan Peng came out with his hands in his pockets, like a master, sat lazily at the table, and asked the servant to bring him tableware.
Ever since he came back this time, Zhan Peng has taken a fancy to Balu's courtyard, which is like his own home. The army would come here whenever they had nothing to do, and would never go back to his place, refusing to leave.
Baru was annoyed when he saw him. "I said, why don't you go back to your own home? You eat, drink and sleep at my house every day. What's wrong with that? I'm your father, right? And I have to support you?"
Zhan Peng rolled his eyes at him indifferently. "Giving birth to a son like me is your retribution. You'd better pray to Buddha to bless you with a daughter."
Then, he raised his eyebrows and hissed, "Along, it's been so many years, how come you don't even have a cub? Could it be that you are not capable of it?"
Baru glanced at Nanxi nervously; her face was already red.
"Get the hell out of here." The man raised his hand and threw the chopsticks at his good brother, then stood up, grabbed Zhan Peng's collar and dragged him out the door.
"You're anxious, you're anxious. Ah Long, what's so embarrassing about this? If it doesn't work, we can just treat it. No, I've seen you. You're quite majestic and powerful, aren't you?"
Zhan Peng continued to chatter without knowing whether he was alive or dead.
"You bastard, don't let me see you again." Balu threw the man out the door. "Fu Chai, guard him. If this guy dares to come close again, shoot him. If he dies, it's my fault."
After the man finished speaking, he walked into the house without looking back.
Fuchai at the door looked at Zhanpeng sympathetically.
"Brother Zhan, are you sick because you lost your wife? How about I make an appointment with a doctor to see you?"
