You said you would tell fortunes, so you can catch ghosts and exterminate zombies easily?

Su Chen thought the man was too slow, so he carried the old man on his back and quickly reached the bottom of the valley.

The man supported the woman, but she pushed him away and simply sat down on the ground, sliding down without paying any attention to the protruding tree roots and weeds and fallen leaves on the ground.

"Dad, old squad leader~"

The woman arrived at the locust tree safely.

The man followed closely behind.

Su Chen threw the old man onto the tree branch in a few seconds.

Then he climbed up by himself.

The woman hurriedly hugged the locust tree and tried to climb.

The man squatted down beside him and said, "Come on, step on my shoulders."

With the help of the man, the woman quickly reached the tree branch. When she saw the corpse almost half wrapped in the branch, she covered her mouth in surprise.

Su Chen ignored him, took out cinnabar and yellow paper, quickly drew a talisman, and stuck it on the old man. The old man trembled, and his originally heavy eyelids could now open easily. He threw himself directly on the corpse and cried out miserably: "Squad leader, squad leader, Wu Wa finally found you~"

The branches of the locust tree were not big. Su Chen saw the man circling under the tree. After drawing two talismans, he slapped one on the woman. The woman trembled and her eyes widened.

In her sight, there was a green figure on the corpse half wrapped in the branches of the locust tree.

Su Chen jumped off the branch, slapped a talisman on the man, and helped him climb up the branch.

"Let's have a good chat. Fu can last two hours."

"Thank you, master, thank you, master!"

After thanking her, the man turned around and was also stunned.

I saw an almost transparent green figure on the corpse reaching out to touch my father-in-law's head.

The figure opened his mouth, but no one knew what he said. The father-in-law reached out to grab it, but caught nothing.

He was stunned for a moment, and then started crying like a child.

"Squad leader, squad leader, I'm not a cadet, I'm Wu Wa. I don't want the name the instructor gave me. Squad leader, just call me Wu Wa, just call me Wu Wa~"

……

"I'm sorry, squad leader. I was so scared at that time. I should have died with you. I'm sorry..."

"I still haven't found your body in all these years. You've been exposed to the wind, sun and rain for so many years, squad leader..."

……

Su Chen climbed up again, grabbed Apeng's little hand, and listened quietly to the aggrieved cries coming from below.

A Peng asked him quietly, "Dad, is Grandpa an old Eighth Route Army soldier?"

"Yes, he was a very good soldier, fighting against the Japanese."

"I know the Japs. Mom said they were very bad people. They killed our ancestors, stole our food, and even set fire to our houses."

"Grandma said that people like this are beasts and should be beaten."

Su Chen nodded: "Well, he deserves a beating."

"Dad, I want to fight the devils when I grow up."

Su Chen touched his head and said, "Okay, Dad supports you."

Although he did not participate in that war, he could feel its desolation and tragedy just from the original owner's cognition. It was like when he stood in front of the Tianshi Mansion in his previous life, set up the formation, and lined up with his fellow disciples. Even though he knew that the road ahead was dark, he still had to burn his boats and advance without retreat.

For this land, there must be people who continue to fight for it in order to have a clear sky.

Suddenly, Su Chen's body trembled.

Strands of golden light flowed into his body, and the surrounding mountain energy became excited.

Su Chen raised the corner of his mouth.

This merit is not small. It would not have been like this if Zhao Xiaoting had been captured. It seems that it was because Sun Zhiyuan and Ashan were captured while eradicating those poisonous strains.

So it is better to help the police more, which will help you accumulate merit faster.

The whimpering sounds from the bottom of the valley gradually stopped.

The old man wiped away his tears and introduced his daughter and son-in-law to the old squad leader.

When talking about his son-in-law, his face was full of pride: "My son-in-law is also a soldier, squad leader. He joined the special forces. Squad leader, our country's army is different now than before. The special forces are very powerful."

"Jianguo, blow the charge for your squad leader!"

The man's mouth twitched, but he nodded obediently.

The sound of the trumpet echoed again in the mountains.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Go! Go! Go!"

"Kill the devils, kill them!"

The old man waved his fist excitedly.

The green figure also waved his fist.

……

Su Chen heard the national anthem sung by women and men together.

He also hummed along softly.

After finishing, the old man wiped his eyes and said: "Squad leader, you see I am old, but you are still the same as before."

"Squad leader, if only I had found you earlier, I could have taken you to the capital to watch the National Day parade and the flag-raising ceremony. Do you know fighter jets? They can spray colorful gas, which is really beautiful."

"Captain, if you hadn't died, it would have been great. If we had held on for two more years and killed a few more devils, we would have won. Now no country would dare to invade us."

"Squad leader, no one has burned paper money for you these years. Are you cold or hungry? We brought a lot of delicious food. Would you like to eat something?"

……

The man climbed all the way up, asked someone to bring him food, and then climbed down again.

At around eight o'clock, the old man felt something was wrong and finally looked at the woman.

"Xiaoying, Dad is leaving."

"From now on, you and Jianguo should be good friends."

"Dad was able to see the squad leader before he died. This life has no regrets."

"Every Qingming Festival from now on, don't forget your squad leader uncle!"

The woman covered her mouth and tears fell.

The man pursed his lips and nodded: "Dad, we will."

Hearing his words, the yellow talisman on the old man's body slowly turned into ashes.

His energy was drained away in an instant, and his eyelids drooped.

The body gradually became cold.

"Dad~" the woman cried out in grievance and sobbed.

In the sight, a gray figure gradually emerged from the old man.

At the same time, the yellow talismans on her and the man gradually turned into ashes.

The familiar gray figure gradually disappeared from sight.

The woman knew that this time, she really had no father.

"Dad~ woooooo~"

Half an hour later.

The man carried the old man up on his back and arranged him to lie on the stretcher.

The woman calmed down and asked Su Chen in a low voice: "Master, we want to take the squad leader down the mountain. Should we just cut down the tree or what?"

Su Chen waved his hand: "No, the old hero has become a spirit. He and the locust tree are now one. If you cut down the locust tree, you will also hurt his spirit."

“…Huh? What should I do then?”

"No need to bury him. If you're willing, just come and worship him every year. Build a small temple on the tree branch. If he can ever break free from his bonds, he can witness with his own eyes the mountains and rivers, and the new country that is constantly changing, paved with their blood."

The woman was stunned for a moment, then delighted: "Thank you, Master!"

It was already 11 o'clock at night when we returned to Chunming Street.

Zhao Dongsheng's car was parked quietly at the intersection, and Aliang inside was holding a small notebook and muttering to himself.

Seeing Su Chen and the others get off the car, Zhao Dongsheng hurriedly drove down.

"Master, you are finally back. Are you tired? Are you hungry?"

Su Chen smiled and said, "Come on, Brother Zhao, I'll treat you to some snacks."

After eating noodles, they rushed to Liangshan.

On the way, Zhao Dongsheng gossiped with Su Chen about the dead old man.

"I asked the boss, and he said that old man joined the army at the age of 16 and participated in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the U.S. Army. He killed more than enemies in his lifetime, but he also suffered a lot of injuries. There are at least a dozen bullets in his body that have not been removed."

"I heard that when old cold legs attack, the whole body is covered in cold sweat, but they still endure it and run up the mountain. People in that life were really able to endure hardships!"

Su Chen sighed: "Yes, he is really able to endure hardships."

So it was destined that he would meet me before he died, fulfilling his wish.

In this world, every sip and every bite has its destiny.

After sighing for a while, Su Chen looked at A Liang and asked, "How was your study today? Did you try to drive?"
