Father Xia heard the voice and came out to see, and asked in confusion: "Do you know each other?"
"Uncle Jin, my father, and Hui Niang and the others, are they okay?" Old Liu ignored what Xia's father said and asked in a trembling voice with an expectant look on his face.
Although I have already made plans for the worst, I still hope that a miracle will happen.
"They are all gone." The village chief said with a sad face.
Old Liu's body swayed twice, and Father Xia quickly stepped forward to support him.
"If you have anything to say, come inside and talk about it." Father Xia helped Old Liu back to his home.
Seeing that everyone looked unhappy, Mother Xia didn't say anything. She poured each of them a glass of water and watched quietly from the side.
"My father, my father, and Hui Niang, Hui Niang..." Old Liu wanted to ask something, but he didn't know where to start.
"Hui Niang died of complications during childbirth the year after you left. Your father, your father died while protecting us during our retreat during an anti-ghost campaign." The village chief spoke slowly.
"Hui Niang is pregnant? I, I didn't know! It turns out that I almost became a father!" Old Liu murmured.
Then he asked excitedly, "Where did you go later? I ran around everywhere to attract the Japanese.
In the end, I was shot several times and was in a daze. I didn't know where I ran. When I woke up, I found that I had been rescued by the organization.
The organization was moving at that time, so I moved with them. After my injuries healed, I joined them in fighting the Japanese!
Later I asked someone to go back and inquire about you, but there was no trace of you.
Where did you migrate to later?"
At that time, the military was in short supply of talent, weapons, and supplies.
But seeing that the team had such strong cohesion despite such difficult conditions, he stayed out of curiosity.
In the end, he was convinced and joined in driving away the uninvited guests, hoping to restore peace to everyone.
My group of people are displaced because the world is not peaceful. If the world is peaceful, then the chances of finding people will be greater.
“Well, actually we have always been there, but with the help of an expert, we found a valley and settled down.
We then obliterated our tracks, leaving only a few guards outside the valley. "What a twist of fate, the two sides missed each other like that."
If, if at that time, would Commander Liu not have died?
Old Liu was so shocked that he seemed to have aged ten years.
There was an air of decadence lingering around him, but it was gone, and he was the only one left.
Before, he could still deceive himself, saying that they were still somewhere waiting for him to find them, and he couldn't fall down.
Now I am the only one left, only myself.
"Have you seen An An?" Old Jin couldn't help but ask when he saw his decadent look.
"Old Xia's son-in-law?" Old Liu looked at Old Jin in confusion, wondering why he was talking about Liu Ankang at this time.
"Hui Niang risked her life to give birth to a baby boy." There is no need to say more.
Old Liu's eyes lit up. Was it what he thought?
When he first heard about the difficult birth, he subconsciously thought that there was two deaths.
In the circumstances at that time, it was unimaginable how a newborn baby who had lost its mother could survive.
"Uncle Jin, thank you!" Old Liu choked.
Coincidentally, at this time Liu Ankang sent Song Jinxiu back.
Although the two can no longer stick together all day like before, they can still go out shopping together.
"What's wrong? What happened?" As soon as they entered the room, they found that everyone was looking at them, and Song Jinxiu asked in confusion.
Old Liu stood up excitedly.
He looked at Liu Ankang with a loving face. The more he looked at this child, the more he looked like Hui Niang. He had met her so many times, how come he didn't notice it?
He was so angry that he wanted to slap himself.
Liu Ankang fell silent as he looked at the strange atmosphere in front of him.
Isn’t this the leader I rescued last year?
Is this a way of expressing gratitude? Isn't that a bit too much?
"An An, come here!" the village chief called out.
"Uncle, Mr. Jin!" Liu Ankang walked over obediently. Song Jinxiu walked towards Xia's mother and asked with her eyes what had happened.
Mother Xia motioned for her to look for herself.
"This is your father. For so many years we thought he didn't escape. Fortunately, he was rescued.
It's just that due to some strange coincidence, neither side found each other, and that's why they missed each other for so many years." The village chief said regretfully.
Liu Ankang and Lao Liu looked at each other. One was broad-shouldered and big-bellied with a dark and rough face, while the other was delicate and tender, looking extraordinarily handsome.
No one can associate the two of them together!
Liu Ankang looked at the man in front of him, pursed his lips and fell silent.
He no longer needed fatherly love, and he didn't know what to say to his loved one who suddenly appeared.
The same went for Old Liu. When his son, who was taller than him, suddenly appeared, his throat felt like it was blocked and he couldn't say anything.
"Dad!" Finally, it was Liu Ankang who spoke first.
He had also heard of this father.
Although he was not as powerful as his grandfather, he also encountered danger in order to save his mother and fellow villagers.
So I have no complaints against him.
"Yeah." Old Liu responded happily.
He quickly turned around and wiped away his tears, not wanting to embarrass himself in front of the younger generation.
"That's great. You look like your mother." Old Liu praised with satisfaction.
He raised his hand slightly and wanted to pat his son's shoulder like other fathers and sons, but he thought that it was their first meeting and they didn't seem to be familiar with each other.
Liu Ankang noticed it, but he didn't say anything. After all, in his mind, this person was just a stranger he had met a few times.
"You may not know, but it was An An who saved me last year. If it weren't for him, I would have lost my life." Old Liu said happily.
In some mysterious way, the father and son still have some connections.
So even if we don’t recognize each other this time, we will recognize each other one day.
This was his son, better than anyone else.
"Congratulations, Old Liu," Father Xia said, seeing that the atmosphere was a bit heavy.
"It seems that you have to change your position in a few days, and you have to drink less. If you get drunk, you won't be able to entertain guests!" Father Xia said with a smile.
At this time, everyone remembered that, yes, in a few days it would be Liu Ankang’s wedding day.
Old Liu instantly became a little nervous. He looked at Father Xia, then thought about it and looked at Old Jin and asked, "What do you need me to do next?"
"Everything is ready. You just need to wait to entertain relatives and friends and drink tea with your wife." Old Jin said to him with a smile.
"Hahaha, Lao Xia. I never thought that the day would come when we would become in-laws!" Lao Liu laughed heartily.
If they recognize each other before their son gets married, they will have fewer regrets.
