Zhang Xinlan turned to look at Qin Ying, who looked unhappy.
Zhang Xinlan quickly asked, "Yingzi, did you hear clearly just now? Was there a war?"
Qin Ying nodded slowly.
Zhang Xinlan swayed, her expression suddenly changing. She said in disbelief, "A war? How could there be a war? Hasn't there been a war in a long time?"
"Congwen, Congwen won't go to the battlefield, right?" She said with dull eyes and a sad face.
"No, it won't happen." Li Xiulian panicked for a moment, then comforted Zhang Xinlan, "There are so many troops and soldiers across the country. Isn't Congwen still a student at a military academy? Even if there's a war, they won't let students go. Don't think too much."
"Yes, yes, Congwen is in the military academy, in the military academy." Zhang Xinlan's eyes lit up and she kept saying it. She was trying to convince herself that Congwen was studying in the military academy now and would not go to the battlefield, definitely not.
Hearing her words, Su Qingyun lowered her eyes slightly. Her second brother was a student at a military academy, but he was first and foremost a soldier. He knew what a soldier's duties were, and he resolutely fulfilled his duties and obligations as a soldier. But how could she bear to tell her second aunt such words?
Second aunt is a mother. What a mother needs is not a brave and combat-ready soldier, but a safe and healthy son.
"No, no, what did Congwen say before he left?" Zhang Xinlan consoled herself for a few words before suddenly remembering what Congwen had said when he said he was leaving. "He said there were some last-minute arrangements and asked him to go back early. What's so urgent that he needs to go back early?"
He said he could stay at home for half a month, but suddenly he left early, and it was because of orders from above. Even if Zhang Xinlan was stupid, she felt that something was wrong, but she still didn't want to believe it.
She looked at Qin Ying and asked, "Yingzi, you're well-read. Tell me, where exactly is that Yue Kingdom? And where is the border? Our family's Congwen lives in Chuncheng. He won't go there, right? He definitely won't, right?"
Qin Ying's frown never relaxed. She looked at Zhang Xinlan's frightened face and couldn't bear to say anything.
"Second sister-in-law..."
"Yingzi, tell me, Congwen won't go, right?" Zhang Xinlan hoped that Qin Ying would nod. As long as she nodded, she would believe it.
"Yue State is close to our Yun Province. If a war breaks out, the first troops to be assembled will be from the Chuncheng Military Region." Qin Ying looked reluctant, but still said it because she knew the worries of a mother. If she didn't tell Zhang Xinlan the truth, she would only be more frightened and scared.
"Chuncheng Military Region, Chuncheng Military Region." Zhang Xinlan muttered the name twice, her face frighteningly pale.
Wasn't Congwen in the Chuncheng Military Region? Wasn't the Chuncheng Army Academy Congwen's school? Congwen lived so close, and he returned early. Could he...
Zhang Xinlan didn't dare to think about it any further.
Li Xiu Lian also realized the seriousness of the matter at this time. She didn't dare to think about whether Congwen had really gone to the battlefield?
Zhang Xinlan sat there blankly, like a wooden stake, no one knew what she was thinking. Li Xiu Lian and Qin Ying were also silent. The atmosphere in the room was terribly stagnant.
Su Qingyun turned her face away, suppressed the pain in her heart, and wiped away her tears.
"No, I have to send a telegram to Congwen!" Zhang Xinlan was stunned for a long time, then suddenly stood up, "I have to go ask if he is in school!"
As long as Congwen could reply to her telegram, it would prove that he was still fine, had not gone to the war, and had not gone to that damn Yue Kingdom.
After she finished speaking, she rushed out of the house at a very fast speed.
"What a sin!" Li Xiu Lian sighed, dropped the things in her hands, and chased out with Qin Ying. They were all afraid that something might happen to Zhang Xinlan.
"Xinlan, wait for us, we will go with you."
Su Qingyun also followed behind.
Zhang Xinlan's pace was so fast that the three people behind her could hardly keep up. They had to hurry up and catch up with her, panting and sweating in the cold weather.
Four people, three adults and one child, rushed to the town in a hurry just to send a hasty telegram to make sure the child was safe.
It took the four of them almost an hour to walk to the town in just over half an hour. Zhang Xinlan went straight to the post office and quickly sent a telegram to Chuncheng.
They were all praying to receive a reply from Congwen.
But only Su Qingyun knew that this was destined to be a telegram without a reply.
