When the army entered the village, the village chief asked the villagers to make room for them to rest, and then he chatted with several soldiers with a smile on his face.
The soldier took a look at his surroundings and jokingly said to his comrades, "It really feels like I'm back home. My home has a yard like this too."
Upon hearing this, the village chief cheerfully replied, "I'm glad this young man doesn't mind. This is the only condition we have here."
He chatted casually for a moment, glancing over their uniforms.
Then he asked, "Where are you going? Are you going to train?"
The soldier waved his hands, his expression becoming dejected. "It would be better if we could just go for training. At least we wouldn't lose our lives so easily."
Then he asked curiously, "By the way, Village Chief, we wanted to ask you just now. Have you not left the village recently?"
The village chief lowered his eyelids, and his cloudy eyes covered his eyes, making it impossible to see his emotions.
He just shook his head and smiled, "My legs are not so convenient, so I can't travel far. My family has a good harvest this year, and we are not short of food here, so we rarely go out."
"No shortage of food? That's good. It's a good thing you didn't go out. It's completely chaotic outside now. Those of you who have food at home should not go out and take risks."
The soldier sighed and gave the village chief another admonition.
"What do you mean, little brother?" The village chief looked surprised, as if he really knew nothing about the situation outside.
The soldier and his comrade looked at each other and decided to talk to the village chief in detail.
"Outside now..."

Near them, Tang Anan was holding a doll and quietly watching the village chief's back, with a faint smile on the corner of her lips.
She gently stroked the doll's hair, her voice soft and sticky, "Qiqi, in this developed society today, there's actually a paradise on earth?"
His gaze swept lightly over the surrounding villagers, his eyes flickered slightly, and a hint of interest flashed in his clear eyes.
Tang Anan walked lightly among the surrounding houses and whispered, "How about we go for a look?"
Her gaze fell on the woman with a dull look not far away, and she spoke slowly, "That auntie seems a little unhappy. Should we go and help her?"
The doll in his arms nodded mechanically and giggled twice, "Unhappy, unhappy..."
"tread."
Tang Anan walked steadily to the woman, raised her head slightly, her childish face full of innocence and curiosity, and she said in a soft voice.
"Auntie, is there something that makes you unhappy? You can tell An An, and An An can make you happy."
Her tone was full of sincerity and comfort, which restored clarity to the woman's somewhat empty eyes.
The woman looked down at the child in front of her who was a few years old. She reminded her of her own daughter, who was also about the same age.
She squatted down with a smile, looked back at her gently, and said softly: "Auntie is not unhappy, go and have fun."
Tang Anan stared at her for two seconds with her clear and lively black eyes. Suddenly, she took out two candies from her pocket and stuffed them into the woman's hands. She said seriously, "Auntie, eat the candies and forget all your unhappiness."
The woman was slightly startled, staring at the candy in her hand.
When she looked up again, she saw the little girl had run to the side of a young man, turned around and smiled sweetly at her, saying: Forget the unhappiness!
Her heart trembled, a surge of emotions surged in her heart, and her throat choked.
He slowly looked towards his home and the tightly closed iron gate.
The woman murmured, "Forget all the unhappiness? Oh, how is that possible? There's no going back."
