"Nanxing, you must listen to your grandfather and practice martial arts well. If your martial arts skills are poor, even if you have a military token, the Mingwei Iron Cavalry will definitely not recognize you, let alone obey your orders!"

"You must practice martial arts well!"

The old man was already on his deathbed, his eyes were wide open, bloodshot, and his nostrils were flared, which was truly horrifying.

Little Nanxing burst into tears, crying so loudly that it shook the whole sky.

He lifted up the ugly thing made of black iron and tried to stuff it into the old man's hand.

"I... I don't want it... Wuwu! I want my mother and grandfather... Wuwu..."

"Woo woo, Brother Yu..."

The old man clenched his fists tightly and refused to take the military token.

His eyes widened, his breathing quickened: "Nanxing, take it!"

"Quick! Take it! Don't tell anyone..."

Xiao Nanxing didn't get the military token back, and she cried anxiously, her cries getting louder and louder.

The three uncles and grandmother who were guarding outside finally couldn't bear it anymore and broke in against the old man's orders.

My grandmother was an old lady with silver hair. When she walked in and saw the little girl in a red dress crying very sadly, she hugged her in her arms.

While pointing at his grandfather's nose, he cursed: "You old man, you said you wouldn't live for a few days, and your only wish was to see Nanxing. We finally brought Nanxing to you, and you're so good! You scared the child!"

The old man ignored her and just stared at Xiao Nanxing with his eyes wide open, unable to swallow his breath.

"Dad, dad!"

"Dad, what's wrong with you?"

"Dad, why are you glaring at Nanxing? Nanxing is still young. Even if she makes you angry, don't glare at her. Look how scared you are!"

The three uncles gathered around the bed, talking to each other.

But the old man ignored everyone and just stared at the little girl in the red dress with his eyes wide open.

Xiao Nanxing cried for a long time and then hiccuped.

But while no one was paying attention, she quietly stuffed the ugly black thing into her arms with her little hand.

After putting it away, she went to see the old man on the bed.

The old man's brows relaxed, and his terrifying eyes no longer glared at her. He even pursed his lips slightly and smiled at her.

But that pale and ferocious old face looked terrifying even when he was smiling.

Xiao Nanxing was thinking that he had secretly hidden the ugly thing and no one had seen it, and his grandfather must be satisfied.

He likes to hear me call him, why don’t you call him again?

"Grandpa!" The little girl wiped her tears with her sleeves and called out sweetly in a soft voice.

Just as he finished speaking, there was a loud thud as something heavy fell.

My grandfather passed away with a look of relief on his face.

Her three uncles and grandmother no longer cared about her. They swarmed around her grandfather's bed and cried heart-wrenchingly.

She was the only one standing there in a daze, touching the hard, ugly thing on her chest with her little hand.

The thing was pressed against her chest, it was a little prickly, and it made her heart feel hot.

Xiao Nanxing went home with the ugly thing in her arms. She didn't dare to tell anyone and walked around the house again and again, looking everywhere but she was still not satisfied.

Finally, he turned to the yard, thought for a moment, and sent the maid away. Then he squatted beside the small tree with his butt sticking out, digging a hole with a grunt.

He held the ugly black thing in both hands and placed it solemnly into the pit.

Then he started digging the hole again.

After the burial, the little girl was sweating profusely and sat down on the ground tiredly.

Suddenly he burst into tears.

She would never see her grandfather again!

After separating from her grandfather, Shen Nanxing sent the maid away and returned alone to the courtyard where she lived before she got married.

The small tree that was as tall as her back then has now grown very big. Its branches sway in the wind, casting fine, mottled sunlight under the shade of the tree.

Shen Nanxing, dressed in a dazzling red dress, stood beside the tree, quietly for a long time.

She saw the little girl in a red skirt and a red ribbon sitting on the ground crying and hiccuping. Then, as if she suddenly remembered something, her crying stopped, and she got up and ran towards the plum garden.
