When the two of them heard this, they didn't know whether to laugh or cry. They coaxed me to lie down for a while and have lunch later.
I lay on the bed. My mind was still a little muddled. I felt a little sleepy as I lay down. Perhaps it was because I hadn't recovered from my illness. After crying for a while, I fell asleep again.
When I closed my eyes and fell asleep, it was as if I had returned to the modern world. However, I saw that the house at home had collapsed. There was news that the gas explosion had caused the house to collapse. 12 people were seriously injured and 5 people were killed. Unfortunately, three of my family members and the young couple next door were all dead. The explosion was on the upper floor of our house. The explosion caused the floor to fall and crushed the five of us to death.⊙﹏⊙!
Does that mean that our two families have been wiped out?
At this moment, I saw my parents walking towards me hand in hand. They smiled kindly at me and seemed to tell me that they were leaving and could not accompany me. They were still worried about me, so they begged the Netherworld Messenger to use all the virtues they had in their lives to let my soul go to a parallel space-time with us so that their other parallel identity could continue to accompany me.
The vague words in my ear said that Dad and Mom will always love me. No matter which time and space we are in, we are your parents who love you. Let me love them too. They are also your parents! As she spoke, a little girl ran over and hugged my mother. After taking a closer look, wasn't this what my body looked like now? The little girl smiled at me and said that she wanted to help her accompany her parents and let them rest assured that her parents here would take care of her! Then, they disappeared.
When I saw that they were gone, I woke up with a jolt. I opened my eyes blankly and recalled the dream just now. Did my parents tell me in my dream? Are we all dead?
Thinking about it, it might be true. Otherwise, why would I be here? My parents looked exactly the same. Thinking about the selfless love and sacrifice my parents had given me in my previous life, I didn't repay them at all. I only knew how to act coquettishly all day and only wanted to have fun. I didn't treat them well either, but they still wanted to let me live even after they died.
Dad, Mom, don't worry. I will live well. Those who didn't come in my previous life will be filial to you. In this time and space, I will be even more filial.
As I thought about it, someone came in. The woman from before came in with food. The man behind me carried a small Kang table and placed it not far from me. The woman placed the food on the table and came over to pick me up. She said that it was time for lunch.
There was a small bowl of rice porridge, a boiled egg, two small pickles, and a small steamed bun on the table. The steamed bun was not made of white flour, but it looked quite soft and fluffy.
The woman first tried the porridge to see if it was still hot, then fed me a mouthful. I was already so old, but I still had to be fed. I felt a little embarrassed, so I told them that I could eat it myself. The woman saw that I was much better, so she agreed. Although I felt weak all over, I didn't delay my meal.
I lowered my head to eat and heard them chatting.
"Chief, how is the outside world now?”
"I heard that the battle was quite intense, but our prefecture is relatively safe.”
"Then I can rest assured! Previously, I heard that Qi County was lost and Liangwu Port was not guarded. I was on tenterhooks! I'm afraid they'll attack!"
"Sigh! Those Japanese ambushed Liang Qi and Liang Wu docks and we were caught off guard. Now that the reinforcements have arrived, they won't attack again!”
Was there a war? Am I in a time of war?
"Although there are reinforcements, our navy is not as powerful as them! Our ship isn't as big as theirs, and they've even occupied Liangwu Pier!”
"Even reinforcements can't do it?"
"The reinforcements are all landlubbers fighting on the road. They can resist the prefecture and some county cities from being breached, but it's hard to say for sure about Jianghai! If they hadn't occupied the Liangwu Pier, we would still have some ships to resist. Other than the large dock where we can park large ships and enter the sea, we have a place to station our troops. The rest are small docks where we can park our ships and can't place our barracks!”
"This time, I heard that the emperor gave our Annan Great General 200,000 soldiers!”
"It's said to be 200,000, but the early deployment is only 100,000. The other 100,000 will be recruited on the spot. How can new recruits who have just been recruited go to the battlefield? He doesn't have any combat ability!"
"Don't we have 80,000 soldiers? Then the first 100,000 is already 180,000. We don't have to be afraid of anything!”
I listened as I ate at the side. From the looks of it, our situation isn't bad either. We shouldn't lose. Fortunately, we didn't just respawn and destroy this clan!
"Our 180,000 might sound like a lot, but we have a lot of places to guard! The prefecture, as well as the four counties from the coast to Liangwu Port, had to deploy their forces! Don't look at how they only have 50,000 people, they have now occupied a large dock and the most seaside county. They are faster than us in attacking by water, and they have a retreat point in Qi County! Besides, the Japanese had already robbed, burned, and killed before running away, sigh! I heard that all the occupied counties have been looted!”
"That's right! I heard that there are many refugees in the city now. I saw that a few days ago, Eldest Sister and Second Sister brought their children and men to seek refuge. Your eldest brother's house is very lively this time!”
"Then did your sister-in-law's relatives come? I remember that your Chenghai's wife's family is in Taiwu, right? That place was only one county away from Liangwu Port!”
"I haven't been back to my mother's house recently! Didn't I always take care of the child when Xiao Jia was sick? However, logically speaking, they should be able to come and seek shelter. In this prefecture, they only had this girl. How could they have any other relatives?”
Looking at the situation, everyone who could rely on their relatives and friends had come!
Just as she was talking, there was a knock on the door. The man got up and went outside to open the door. The woman saw the man go out and peel the egg for her. She gave her a few mouthfuls and vaguely heard a voice at the door, but she could not hear it clearly!
I obediently ate the porridge and thought that my life was not bad! They could still eat egg white rice porridge in a war!
The conversation outside stopped. The man walked in from inside the room, but his expression was not good. He seemed to have a heavy heart.
"What's wrong? Who is it?"
"It's Dong Zi."
"What's the matter? Why didn't you let anyone in?"
"Dongzi only came to talk about some things, and he still has to go to another house!”
"Say what? What happened to you?"
"Dongzi said that the situation at the front is tense. If Liangdong County cannot be defended, then the Japanese can directly attack the prefecture from the water! If that's the case, we, who have no official positions, will also be recalled to the army!”
" What?!"
What? My father is a soldier? He might even have to go to the battlefield?
"You've just disarmed yourself. You've only been home for less than a month, so why are you...! What should he do! Why don't I go and look for my father? Didn't my father find you a job as a comprador in the government office? If you have a public position, you won't have to return to the army!”
"I also wanted to enter the job earlier, but since the start of the Japanese attack, no one has been handling this matter. I've already run away three times, and each time, I would wait a few more days. At this time, it might be even harder for me to get a job!”
