On October 1, 1944, the Japanese islands were unfortunately struck by a meteorite, suffering a huge impact that caused the entire island to almost sink and disappear.
Of course, this is the explanation given to the outside world after discussions among the top leaders of various countries. The real reason is that it was hit and exploded by two mysterious missiles launched from an unknown location.
Two missiles could sink the entire country of Japan. When world leaders received the news, they immediately turned their attention to a certain country, the United States, which made its fortune from war. However, the president sitting behind his desk in the White House was also confused, as the proposal to drop the atomic bomb had just been put on his desk.
“It must have been China that made the investment!” an official said decisively.
"But their country is under invasion, how could they have time to research such advanced weapons?"
"But many soldiers who have been to China say that it is a mysterious country with many inexplicable things. This could very well be the mysterious Eastern power."
And look at who harbors the greatest hatred for Japan? Who benefits from the sinking of the Japanese islands? Whoever profits has the strongest motive!
"Phew!" Everyone present gasped, as if there was some truth to what was said.
"But why didn't they resist before, and instead waited until now?"
"...I also heard something from the soldiers."
"What's up?"
"They say that all Chinese people are descendants of the dragon, and their dragon is currently asleep. Once it awakens, that will be the time for them... to stand up!"
"hiss!"
——
50 years later.
"Hahaha, Grandma, look how funny this book is! No, these silly foreigners actually believe that China has a divine dragon?"
Zhou Shuya, already a little old lady, turned around and looked at the book in her grandson's hand. She adjusted her reading glasses. "The autobiography of the famous traveler Lauters?"
"Yeah, it was a free gift when I bought books at the bookstore yesterday. I was bored, so I flipped through it and found that what this guy wrote was really hilarious. He said that when he was traveling in China, he encountered a mysterious antique shop. The shop owner had a huge collection of antiques, many of which had been used by ancient emperors and famous people. But then he suddenly disappeared. Hahaha, I think he was scammed. Who could have so many genuine antiques? — Hey, Grandma, why did you hit me!"
"That's not some swindler, that's your great-grandfather!"
The teenager Ding Qiangguo's eyes widened suddenly. "That's my great-grandfather? The one who smokes, drinks, loves pleasure, and is selfish? I don't believe it!"
Ding Qiangguo had barely finished speaking when he got another hit on the head. "Ouch! Grandma, don't hit my head!"
"Who told you to talk about your great-grandfather like that?"
Ding Qiangguo retorted, "That's right! It wasn't enough that he cheated Great-Grandma and the others out of their money. He also had to rely on Second Grandpa's power to swagger around. If Second Grandpa hadn't discovered this and strictly stopped him, Second Grandpa's reputation would have been completely ruined. He even married a wife who was no better than him. If it weren't for them, Second Grandpa wouldn't have passed away so early, and Great-Grandma and the others wouldn't have had to bury their child!"
Zhou Shuya's face darkened. "Who told you all this?" Ding Qiangguo wasn't even born when these things happened, how could he possibly know?
When Ding Qiangguo saw that his grandmother seemed really angry, his courage immediately dwindled, and he immediately apologized, "I'm sorry, Grandma, I shouldn't have spoken ill of our elders behind their backs."
Seeing that Ding Qiangguo still knew the rules, Zhou Shuya's voice softened a bit, "Qiangguo, tell Grandma, who told you these things?"
“Uh… Grandpa.”
Zhou Shuya: "!!!"
“Grandpa used to be Second Grandpa’s secretary, so what he said can’t be false, right?” To protect himself, Ding Qiangguo carefully added fuel to the fire.
Zhou Shuya was even angrier when she heard this, but she couldn't refute it. She just thought she would teach that old man Ding Qing a lesson when he came back! She really says everything to the child!
Ding Qiangguo, however, became interested in what Zhou Shuya had just said about his great-grandfather being a mysterious antique shop owner. "Grandma, what you just said about my great-grandfather being the antique shop owner in this book is fake, right?"
Zhou Shuya took the book from Ding Qiangguo's hand and flipped through it casually. "Hmph, just a bunch of nonsense. This guy is just a greedy businessman who dares to call himself a traveler. He's shameless! No wonder his books can only be given away as freebies!"
"Oh? You recognize this human breast milk?"
"I saw him once or twice when I was a child. He had a pointed mouth, monkey cheeks, yellow hair, and blue eyes. He was so ugly."
"Huh? Really? But he seems like a very interesting person. In the book, he said that he bought a chamber pot from an antique shop, and many nobles in France were eager to take it back to brew tea. Is that true? Did they have such unique tastes back then?" Ding Qiangguo's clear eyes were filled with great confusion.
Zhou Shuya couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. Aunt Xu had told her about this when she was little, and how her great-grandfather had really fooled those people.
Thinking of this, Zhou Shuya's eyes became melancholy again.
My great-grandfather was so kind back then, but why did he suddenly become a completely different person in the end?
"Grandma, what's wrong?" Ding Qiangguo noticed that Zhou Shuya's mood was off and quickly asked.
Zhou Shuya smiled and said, "It's nothing, I was just thinking about things from the past."
"Then tell me about it? For example, was Japan really destroyed by a meteorite?" Ding Qiangguo was extremely curious about this. He felt that things were not so simple, but he couldn't find a satisfactory answer after searching for a lot of information. There were also many different opinions online. Some said it was a meteorite, some said it was a mysterious Eastern force, and some said it was aliens. Just like how the dinosaurs became extinct, no one could find a truth that everyone could accept.
