Chapter 75
Song Xiu was just cleaning the coal dust off his face.
When Lin Wanjun said, "Grandpa, come out and take a look at this shabby place," the next moment, it was as if an invisible hand tore apart the indestructible barrier of space.
A wind came in through the gap, biting and cold, carrying the fragrance of earth.
Through the gap, Song Xiu saw the bright eternal day that did not belong to the spatial world.
That is the truest darkness of nature, silent, heavy and boundless.
You can even faintly see the dark shadows of the undulating mountains in the distance.
I heard Lin Wanjun's exclamation.
"Grandpa, what did you say? You can see! Look what it is!"
"three!"
Song Xiu saw three slender hands dangling outside the gap.
After a brief silence, Lin Wanjun spoke again.
"Then what is this?"
Song Xiu was stunned.
"That's a fist!"
"What about this? Are they scissors?"
Lin Wanjun put her hands behind her back and asked deliberately.
Song Xiu replied, "I can't even see your hand!"
Shocked, Lin Wanjun replied: "..."
Oh my god, what the hell is this space?
Does it also have a voice window opening function?
As Lin Wanjun stepped into the space, the gap disappeared.
As the gap disappeared, Lin Wanjun regained her sight.
"So, Great Grandpa, you just saw the outside world, right?"
Lin Wanjun was a little shocked and a little excited.
"Through my eyes, you saw the real world, the land you defended with your life and blood!"
Realizing this, Lin Wanjun was so excited that she almost jumped up.
"Great, I'm your eyes!"
Lin Wanjun has helped Song Xiu plan for the future.
"After the New Year and the weather warms up, I'll take you around and visit any place you want to go!"
She suddenly looked at Song Xiu.
"Grandpa, where do you want to go?"
This is not the first time Lin Wanjun has raised this question.
But Song Xiu never took it seriously.
Because he knew that he had no chance of leaving the space alive, let alone the chance to see the places he wanted to see.
But now...
Song Xiu's voice trembled slightly.
"I want to go to Southern Jiangsu, that's where I was born and raised!"
"I want to go to East China, that's the land I protected with my life!"
"at last……"
Song Xiu's originally passionate voice became gentle, with a hint of sadness.
"Finally, I want to go back to Beicheng, visit Zhijin's grave, and reunite with her!"
Zhijin, Wei Zhijin, is Song Zhanjin’s great-grandmother and also Song Xiu’s wife.
She was not defeated by the sad news of her husband's "sacrifice". After wiping away her tears, she resolutely carried her gun and rushed to the battlefield to fulfill her husband's unfulfilled wish.
Song Xiu's smile was full of guilt and helplessness.
"I've lived my life worthy of my country and my people, but I've let Zhijin down and my children down."
Lin Wanjun has seen many separations and deaths in the real world, and calls herself a cold-hearted person.
But at this moment, she still couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes, and even her voice was a little choked and trembling.
"Okay! Let's go to southern Jiangsu, eastern China, and the cemetery in the northern city to see Grandma again!"
Lin Wanjun excitedly said, "Not only will we go wherever you want to go, I'll also take you to see the peace and prosperity of our new country!"
Even Lin Wanjun felt a little regretful.
If possible, she even wanted to take Song Xiu back to the 21st century where she lived, so that he could see how rich and powerful the country would be in a few decades.
Song Xiu was also infected by Lin Wanjun's passionate emotions.
He smiled and nodded.
"Okay! Take me on a tour of our beautiful motherland and let me see if the country that generations of revolutionary pioneers have sacrificed their lives to defend is truly what we want it to be."
Lin Wanjun nodded heavily.
"This prosperous age will surely be as you wish!"
At the same time, Song Zhanjin's voice was heard.
"Jun-jun! Jun-jun, is that you?"
Hearing Song Zhanjin's call, Lin Wanjun hurriedly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and quickly exited the space.
The flashlight shone on Lin Wanjun's face, making it difficult for her to open her eyes.
Song Zhanjin jumped off the bicycle without even holding it up. He just threw it away and ran towards Lin Wanjun quickly.
Holding Lin Wanjun in his arms, Song Zhanjin's heart was pounding.
"You didn't come back so late, I thought something happened to you!"
He became anxious and restless until Lin Wanjun returned to the cadre school for dinner.
It was completely dark and he could no longer sit still. He borrowed Principal Wei's bicycle and headed straight to the next village to find his wife.
After learning from Wu Hongxia that Lin Wanjun had gone to the coal yard to buy coal, he rushed over without stopping. He was worried all the way, fearing that something had happened to his wife.
If something happened to Lin Wanjun, he probably wouldn't be able to survive!
"How did you find me?"
Unlike Song Zhanjin's nervousness, Lin Wanjun was more surprised.
But then he thought that Song Zhanjin was a military man, so it should be easy to find out her whereabouts.
After all, she greeted him before leaving.
"Winter is coming, and I want to buy some coal to get through the winter."
Lin Wanjun took Song Zhanjin's arm and said, "We're moving into our new home. We'll need coal to build a stove and cook, right? And coal is essential for making fires and keeping warm in the winter."
Song Zhanjin touched Lin Wanjun's cold cheek, and a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes.
"I should have been the one worrying about all this, but now you've taken on all these burdens that don't belong to you. Junjun, I'm sorry for making you suffer."
Lin Wanjun was joking half seriously and half jokingly.
"Since you feel sorry for me, make it up to me in the future. When the Song family reaches its peak again, you must not abandon your wife!"
Song Zhanjin said sternly, "You didn't leave the Song family even when they were at their lowest point, so how could I bear to abandon you? Junjun, I've loved you my entire life... wuwuwu!"
You bastard, you're so disgusting, just shut up!
Even though his wife blocked his mouth, Song Zhanjin was not angry at all. Instead, he had a silly smile on his face.
He even secretly kissed Lin Wanjun's palm twice.
Ugh, so disgusting!
Lin Wanjun took the opportunity to wipe her saliva with Song Zhanjin's clothes, leaning on his shoulder with a slightly tired look.
"I'm so tired after running all day."
Hearing this, Song Zhanjin felt heartbroken.
If he hadn't come in time, what would his wife have done alone on such a long journey and in such a dark day?
"I'll carry you on my bike, and we'll go home now!"
Song Zhanjin lifted the bicycle and let Lin Wanjun sit on it, then he pedaled towards the cadre school.
Li Yuetang and Song Mingcheng also looked anxious and worried.
They finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Lin Wanjun returned unharmed.
"Buy coal?"
Li Yuetang subconsciously glanced outside the door.
What about coal? Just pay for it but don't take delivery?
Lin Wanjun smiled and replied, "I asked the coal yard to deliver the coal to a safe place. There are too many people in the cadre school, and it would be unsafe."
That's true.
As people gradually moved into the family quarters, they needed firewood and coal to build stoves and light fires.
In difficult times, human nature cannot stand the test, and it is inevitable that some thefts and cheating will occur.
Lin Wanjun squinted her eyes and looked at the dark night outside. Listening to the howling north wind, her expression became serious.
The deadly snowstorm described in the original plot is about to come!
