"Maybe she was thinking that if she could leave that place and live somewhere else, she could say that her husband was gone and her life wouldn't be threatened."
"Later, I found out I was pregnant, so I thought of coming to discuss it with you. I didn't expect that after finally getting there, I was stopped by that woman before I even found you."
"When they heard you were here to see me, they just casually said you'd died and sent Comrade Xiao Liu straight away from the barracks. Otherwise, if Comrade Xiao Liu had asked more questions, he probably wouldn't have believed so easily that you did that."
"You know what happened next. Comrade Xiao Liu probably had nowhere else to go and wandered aimlessly, eventually settling in Fengshou Village."
He didn't know how Comrade Xiao Liu managed to walk so far. She must have been pregnant at that time.
In fact, their guess was not entirely correct. Xiao Liu packed up her things and went to the cave to find Cen Boxu. She didn't intend to rely on Cen Boxu or let Cen Boxu be responsible.
She only knew that if the villagers knew what happened to her, she would definitely not be able to stay in the village. She would either be randomly married to an old bachelor or drowned in a pond by the villagers.
In order to survive and avoid being married off randomly, she wanted to find Cen Boxu to take her out of the mountains. As long as she was taken out to a place where no one knew her, she could start a new life.
After all, she had never left the mountains, and she was still not brave enough to go out alone. Unfortunately, when she returned to the cave, Cen Boxu had just gone out to look for her, and he never returned to the cave, so they missed each other.
Xiao Liu waited in the cave for three days, but when Cen Boxu didn't come back, she knew that the man had left. She even secretly went back to the village to take a look, and heard with her own ears how the villagers talked about her. She was so scared that she didn't even dare to show her face.
After taking a look at the place where she grew up, she gritted her teeth and walked out of the mountains. Xiao Liu was a very smart girl. She made herself look very sloppy. People who saw her thought she was a crazy beggar. She was not persecuted.
Before she decided where to settle down in the future, she discovered that something was wrong with her body. It was a doctor who traveled around the streets who told her that she was pregnant. She decided to go find Cen Boxu. If possible, she wanted to ask Cen Boxu for help so that she could give birth to the child.
Xiao Liu lost her family when she was very young. She grew up alone and longed to have her own relatives. This unexpected child is her biggest hope at the moment.
The idea was good, but the problem was that she had no money. The ticket alone for such a long distance would cost a lot of money, so she could only walk step by step and beg for food to find Cen Boxu.
Unexpectedly, after much difficulty, she found the place. She was afraid of being despised and driven away, so she simply washed her face. Although she was very thin and dark, her delicate features were still very eye-catching.
On the way to the military camp, the gossiper asked her who she was going to find, and she said she was going to find the father of her child. After all, her belly had grown bigger at that time. However, she was still afraid of affecting Cen Boxu, so she did not say that it was her husband.
This was heard by a person with ulterior motives. After she found out from Xiao Liu that the person Xiao Liu was looking for was Cen Boxu, she took Xiao Liu aside and told her sympathetically that Cen Boxu had died.
Xiao Liu was stunned at the time, she had walked here on her own. Now all her thoughts were shattered by a sacrifice. There was no need for the woman to drive her away, Xiao Liu just left in a daze.
She walked aimlessly like this, and she didn't know how many days she had been walking. She only knew that when she was hungry, she would get some food from the field full of plants. She ate everything, even grass roots, as long as she could fill her stomach.
She didn't know what her future would be like. Facing the unfamiliar place, she was dazed and finally fainted not far from Fengshou Village. She was found by the villagers and carried back to the village.
After waking up, I found that the people here were very kind, so I decided to stay and live in Fengshou Village. At least I would wait until the baby in my belly was born before I would decide whether to stay here or not.
She had never thought of giving up the baby in her belly. After learning that Cen Boxu had sacrificed his life, she hoped that the child could carry on the bloodline of that hero.
Who would have thought that such a simple wish would never come true.
After a long silence, Cen Boxu glanced at the contents of the paper and asked, "Where is this person named Zhang Chunmei now? Why did she appear at the gate of the army?"
Shi Zhong paused and said, "Zhang Chunmei was the sister of Captain Zhang of the Fifth Regiment. You should have an impression of her."
Although Captain Zhang was not a soldier under the boss, everyone knew each other at that time. Almost everyone in the military camp knew that Captain Zhang's sister fell in love with her boss at first sight.
He thought his boss would be able to remember who the person was when he saw the name, but it seemed that his boss didn't even remember the existence of such a person. This was even more speechless.
Shi Zhong didn't know his boss at that time, but when he asked about this matter, people who knew his boss would make a joke about Zhang Chunmei. At that time, a woman chasing after a man all day long was almost a big story.
Cen Boxu thought for a long time before he remembered this person: "Are you talking about Zhang Tiechui, the company commander of a company under the Fifth Regiment?" If the two of them had not fought side by side, he might not have remembered this person.
As for Zhang Tiechui's sister, he had no impression of her at all. At that time, he was thinking about improving his strength to fight bad guys all day long and never cared about other things.
"Yes, it was Zhang Tiechui, but Zhang Tiechui didn't seem to know about this. However, Zhang Tiechui's wife seemed to know about this, and it was his wife who asked Zhang Yan not to tell anyone else about this."
If someone had told Cen Boxu that someone had come to him with a big belly, Cen Boxu would have found out what happened. That way, even if Xiao Liu could not marry Cen Boxu directly, she would have given birth to the child under Cen Boxu's care.
"So the fact that Comrade Xiao Liu had come to the barracks was kept secret. Almost no one knew that a pregnant woman had come to see you."
"By the way, Comrade Xiao Liu's surname is Bai, and everyone in their village is surnamed Bai."
Bai Liu is a nice name, but it's a pity that because of his mistake, the beautiful girl's life was tragic.
"Where is Zhang Tiechui now?" It's normal for a brother to pay back his sister's mistakes, right? If he had told him that someone like this had come looking for him, he would have known that he had a daughter.
