The boy smiled and said, "It's okay. When I grow up, I'll use this money to get married. Then my mother will have someone to take care of her, and I can focus on making money!"
As soon as the child finished speaking, he was slapped on the head.
The man glared at him: "Don't let outsiders lead you astray. Marrying a wife isn't about making someone suffer. It's about building a family together, caring for each other, helping each other, creating a new home, and nurturing the fruit of love. Your parents both love you. Your mother is sick, and your father can't be with you. If I had known, maybe..."
"Father, I understand."
He knew what his father wanted to say.
If I had known what I wanted, I wouldn't have had children.
If you don't have children, you won't suffer.
But if he weren't there, who would take care of Mother at home?
Everything in this world may have been predetermined.
He can only make himself stronger!
The man walked into the house and looked at the crazy woman playing with her hair. Although her clothes and hair were messy, she was clean, and no mud came off her body even though she was sweating.
The child took good care of her.
He reached out and touched the woman's head; she flinched and shrank back.
The shadows I once experienced resurfaced in my mind.
The man sighed deeply: "You must take good care of yourself. I killed all those beasts. They're all dead. You're safe now. We're family. Your pain is my pain too. I was released by the officials. Now I'm going to fight to repay their kindness. I'm not being executed. You can go to the next village and ask that Su Niangzi, the person next to her son, for a letter of recommendation for me."
The man took out an envelope from his person as he spoke.
Even someone like him who has killed those who deserve to die will be taken care of on the battlefield.
The moment I took the envelope out.
The trembling woman slightly raised her head.
But as always, they dared not move.
Just as the time was about right, someone came in from outside: "It's time. The troops to be sent to the Ruijin military camp should assemble."
The man thought for a moment, then took the wooden hairpin off his head and placed it on the table: "If you miss me, use this to comb your hair. When I come back alive, you will be an official's wife."
After the man finished speaking, he turned and left.
Ruijin is a restless country.
They would always send people to launch surprise attacks on the troops stationed in Qi and Zhou.
Men are suited to killing, suited to the battlefield.
Staring at the summer sun, I headed north.
The woman squatting on the ground shivered, looked up at the figure leaving, her gaze lingering on the wooden hairpin for a moment.
He suddenly stood up and ran towards the edge of the village.
However……
There's no one left!
"Mom, we're home!" the boy's voice rang out.
The woman nodded and followed him home.
Every day, this scene plays out: the little boy grows up day by day, the woman changes day by day...
On the other side, Su Jiaoniang stood in the courtyard.
Looking at the more mature young man, he said, "The second mission is a must-win; failure is not an option. Capture the womanizer Fang Ruyi. The county government has sent word that Fang Ruyi has been spotted in the southern part of the city. This is the information about Fang Ruyi..."
Su Jiaoniang handed a stack of papers to the children.
This time, she won't be there to protect him.
The children are growing up.
There may be injuries, and the consequences may be more serious.
But isn't this path inherently difficult?
She also perished in these missions, eventually becoming who she is today.
Su Jiaoniang thought a lot and sat alone in the courtyard, waiting quietly.
Time passed by, and the incense burning in the room continued to burn.
Su Jiaoniang couldn't fall asleep at the time she should have been sleeping.
She stood up, then sat down, walked around the courtyard, then stood up again...
The sun rises, and the boys, their bodies stained with blood, return.
One person never came back, and another person was missing an ear.
Su Jiaoniang felt a pang of pain in her heart!
He almost revealed that he wouldn't form a drug enforcement team.
"Captain, we won, but what about her?" The speaker pointed to the corpse on the ground, a teammate they had spent day and night with; the dead teammate had her eyes closed.
A smile still lingered on his lips, but his face showed unwavering determination.
Su Jiaoniang raised her head, trying to hold back her tears.
but……
Once tears start flowing, how can you hold them back?
"I'm going to buy a plot of land to use as a cemetery, and we'll clean it every year during Qingming Festival!" Su Jiaoniang said as she walked outside.
Buying land is very easy for her now.
They found a pleasant, picturesque place and imprisoned him there.
Pointing to one of the spots, she said, "If I die in the future, I want to be buried here. When our descendants worship our ancestors, they must not forget their teammates." As she spoke, Su Jiaoniang squatted down and began to dig the soil with her hands.
The boys who were less seriously injured also started digging.
A pit needs to be dug in the ground.
To bury the person.
Su Jiaoniang made a gesture of respect that would be revered in later generations.
The boys imitated Su Jiaoniang, making awkward and inappropriate movements.
The boys left as night deepened.
Su Jiaoniang stayed where she was.
Lu Wujiu arrived here at some point. He looked at the grave mound and gently patted Su Jiaoniang's shoulder: "Don't eat and live together in the future."
We've been living together for a long time.
You'll have something on your mind.
...
This longing has now turned into pain.
Su Jiaoniang shook her head, her gaze falling on Lu Wujiu: "You should go back first. He's still young, and he'll probably be scared traveling alone!"
"..." At this moment, Lu Wujiu was also afraid.
What does it mean to be afraid when traveling alone?
