"Then I'll head back first. Xiao Gu, will you take me home?" Old Lin said, looking at Gu Bai.
"Okay, Mr. Lin."
Gu Bai helped carry the medicine box, feeling very worried about Su Tian. He wondered how she would react after she woke up and learned of Song Ge's sacrifice.
The three people in the ward silently watched over Su Tian.
Shen Qingqiu wiped away her tears from time to time, still hoping with lingering hope that this was not true.
"Dad, Xiao Zhe really..."
Grandpa Song sighed again, "It's probably true. The abbot has already calculated it, and even that big shot, Old Master Lin, has been calculated. Xiao Zhe must have sacrificed himself today."
"God is so unfair, why did He do this to him?"
"Alas, the abbot also said that he was a certain deity who came down to earth to undergo tribulation."
He made many great contributions as a soldier, and after achieving fame and success, he retired and went back to where he belonged.
At the time, I even asked the abbot if it could be resolved. He shook his head, so I didn't take his words to heart.
"Dad, you stay here and watch over Su. I'm going back to the military region to wait for news."
"Okay, go ahead."
Song Yuanyi hugged Shen Qingqiu and then turned and left.
At this moment, Su Tian, who was unconscious, had her soul drift to a place filled with celestial energy.
Su Tian was very curious as to why she was in such a place. Was she dreaming?
At that moment, she saw a person with long hair, dressed in ancient costume, and looking exactly like Song Zhe standing in front of her.
Su Tian noticed he was staring at her, and asked curiously, "Who are you?"
Su Tian asked him a question, but he didn't answer, just kept looking at her with reluctance.
She tried calling out to him, "Ah Zhe? Is that you?"
He remained silent, and then Su Tian was held tightly in his arms. After a while, he disappeared from sight.
“Ah Zhe…”
Su Tian woke up from her hospital bed, calling out Song Zhe's name.
"Su girl, you're awake?" Grandpa Song felt a little relieved to see Su Tian awake.
"Grandpa, Mom, what are you doing here? Why am I here too?"
They looked at each other and then said, "You were unconscious and couldn't be woken up, so Xiao Gu brought you to the hospital."
A full body checkup was done and everything was fine. Then we called your teacher over to check on you and said you'd wake up in a little while.
Su Tian thought hard for a moment, and realized that she had indeed fainted at the entrance of her own courtyard.
Why did she suddenly have a dream about A-Zhe wearing ancient costume?
"Grandpa, Mom, I'm fine now. Let's go back. I want to go to A-Zhe's workplace and ask when he'll be back."
"Asking him won't get you anywhere. Xiao Zhe might..."
Hopefully, the calculation was wrong, the message hasn't come back yet, and he'll be alright.
Su Tian was a little confused when she heard these words, but she still managed to understand what they meant.
"Grandpa, are you saying that something happened to A-Zhe?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingqiu could no longer hold back her tears.
Gu Bai, who had taken Old Lin home, rushed to the ward again.
Upon seeing him, Su Tian quickly called out, "Gu Bai, help me get discharged from the hospital. Let's go back now."
"good."
Gu Bai hurriedly ran to the nurses' service desk to complete the discharge procedures. After that, they got into the car and returned to the compound.
"Great-Grandpa, Grandma, Mom, Uncle Gu, you're back!" Xiao Bao rushed out and shouted loudly.
"Little Bao, go back to your room and read with your sister. We adults have something to discuss," Su Tian gently instructed.
"Okay, Mom, I'll go now."
Xiao Bao ran into the room and whispered in Da Bao's ear, "Sister, I just saw Great-Grandpa, Grandma, and Mom."
Their expressions were a little strange; Grandma's eyes were red, and they looked very sad.
Da Bao stopped painting and looked at Xiao Bao seriously, asking, "Are you sure you didn't see wrong?"
"No, I'm eight years old, not a little kid. What could I have misunderstood?"
"Okay, let's go, hide at the stairwell, and see what they're talking about."
After Da Bao spoke, Xiao Bao followed behind his sister, and the two of them quietly hid at the bottom of the stairs, carefully listening to the conversation downstairs.
"Grandpa, Mom, did my teacher say anything?" Su Tian thought for a while and asked them again.
They looked at each other, finding it difficult to bring themselves to say it.
"Speak your mind. I can handle any consequences."
Looking at Su Tian's calm expression, Grandpa Song finally spoke slowly, "Alas, Xiao Zhe may have sacrificed himself. My only grandson is gone just like that."
Your teacher calculated that the reason you were in a coma was because Xiao Zhe sacrificed himself; that's why you're like this.
"What about Dad? He went to the military region to wait for news, right?"
Grandpa Song nodded, and Grandma Song had just stepped out of the room when she heard the news.
"This..., my Xiao Zhe." She covered her mouth tightly, tears streaming down her face.
Suddenly, she remembered when Xiao Zhe was five years old, she took him to a temple and the abbot gave him a fortune reading.
It's truly a case of heaven being jealous of talent. Why couldn't God let him grow old together? Why must they, as the elderly, bury their children?
Upon hearing this, Da Bao and Xiao Bao at the stairwell quickly grabbed Xiao Bao and ran downstairs.
"Great-Grandpa, my father sacrificed his life?" Da Bao looked at the old man with clear eyes.
Grandpa Song turned his head away, unwilling to let his two children know the truth.
Seeing this, Su Tian took their hands and carefully explained to them, "Da Bao, Xiao Bao, your father is a soldier, and sacrifice is inevitable."
He was a hero. After he sacrificed himself, he went to live somewhere else. You all stay home and behave yourselves. He will be watching over us from heaven.
“Okay, Mom, I want to sit here with you too.”
"Okay, if you get tired of sitting, go out and play for a while."
They waited silently inside the house until evening before Song Yuanyi finally stepped heavily into his home.
When he saw all his family members sitting together, their faces full of sadness, he couldn't bring himself to say anything.
Seeing this, Grandpa Song had no choice but to break the silence.
"Ah Yi, any news?"
Song Yuanyi nodded.
"What do you mean? Is it confirmed?"
"Yes, Xiao Lu is bringing Xiao Zhe back by helicopter. They'll arrive at nine o'clock tonight."
"Alright, let's eat first. Now that it's a fact, we who are alive should live our lives well," Grandpa Song said.
Aunt Zhang hurriedly served the dishes and set the table; she had already vaguely guessed what was going on.
She called the two children to wash their hands and gave them soup to drink first.
"Grandma Zhang, I'll drink later. I'll go to the room and call Great-Grandma out for dinner."
Da Bao, being very sensible, went to Grandma Song's room, knocked on the door, and called her out for dinner.
"Dabao, Great-Grandma is coming out now. You go and eat first." Grandma Song quickly wiped away her tears, forced a smile, and walked out of the room.
No one enjoyed the meal tonight.
