A post-apocalyptic female soul travels back to the War of Resistance against Japan

In order to adapt to everything here more quickly, she obediently replied, "Daddy, I'm much better." Lin Zeyang smiled with relief upon hearing this.

"Tong'er is such a good girl. When you get better, Daddy will take you out to buy candied hawthorns."

"Okay! Thank you, Father."

Just as the two were talking, Lin Tong'er's mother, Luo Wanyin, brought over a bowl of thick millet porridge and a side dish.

"Tong'er, come on, let's get up and drink the porridge."

Lin Zeyang then helped Cheng Ying up and let her lean against him. Luo Wanyin then took the porridge, stirred it with a small spoon, and fed it to Cheng Ying spoonful by spoonful after it cooled down a bit.

This treatment was simply unparalleled. Cheng Ying felt like she was about to take flight in happiness. Finally, she would have parents who would love her for the rest of her life.

In the days that followed, Cheng Ying tried her best to live like a five-year-old child.

As she familiarized herself with everything in the house, she tried to see if she could even get out of the house. If she couldn't even get out of her own house, how could she go looking for someone?

After observing for a few days, Cheng Ying found that the family's management was not strict.

Moreover, there were only three servants in the household, and these three people were a family that Lin Zeyang specially bought from a brokerage firm after Lin Tong'er's mother married into the family, so that his wife wouldn't be too tired.

After buying them, they gave the family of three a new name. Lin Dafu, 35 years old, was responsible for doing some physical labor around the house, as well as running errands and guarding the gate.

Lin Dafu's wife, Aunt Guiying, and her daughter, Taohua, were responsible for the kitchen and some routine cleaning work.

That day, while her family was busy, she quietly slipped to the gate of the yard.

Lin Dafu, the gatekeeper, saw her and asked with a smile, "Miss Tong'er, where are you going?"

Cheng Ying blinked her big eyes and said, "Uncle Dafu, I'll just watch from the doorway."

Lin Dafu couldn't persuade her otherwise, so he let her stand there. Miss Tong must be lonely because she has no playmates.

Her three older brothers could only come back during their days off.

Looking out from the doorway, it was a not-too-deep alley. There were only three families living in the alley: the girl's family was one of them, and the other two were one across the street and one in front of the girl's family. Their family lived at the very end of the alley.

It's a quiet place amidst the hustle and bustle, because just a few meters from the alleyway is the street.

Looking out from my front door, I can vaguely see the bustling streets with cars and people coming and going, a very lively scene.

Cheng Ying was secretly delighted; this was a good opportunity to go out and have some fun.

Her eyes darted around, and she put on a pitiful look as she said to Lin Dafu, "Uncle Dafu, I want to go out and have a look around, just for a little while. I haven't been outside in a long time."

Lin Dafu looked embarrassed, but he couldn't resist Cheng Ying's persistent pleading.

"Then Miss Tong'er must stay close to me. There are many people and it's chaotic outside. If you accidentally get lost, then Miss Tong'er will never see your father and mother again."

Lin Dafu led Cheng Ying to the street. Cheng Ying was very excited, her eyes constantly scanning her surroundings, thinking to herself that she had taken another step outside!

Suddenly, a commotion arose. It turned out that someone was performing acrobatics on the street, and a large crowd had gathered around.

Cheng Ying was drawn to the crowd, but unexpectedly bumped into a young man in the crowd. The man helped Cheng Ying up and couldn't help but laugh when he saw her cute appearance.

"Little friend, be careful when you walk."

Cheng Ying immediately apologized to the other person, "I'm sorry, big brother, I'll be more careful next time."

The young man looked around her and asked, "Where are your parents? Why are you all alone?"

Just as Cheng Ying was about to point behind her, Lin Dafu rushed over and grabbed her, afraid that she would get lost.

"Miss Tong'er, please slow down."

The young man saw someone next to the little girl, so he nodded to her and continued watching the acrobatics in front of him.

After watching the acrobatics for a while, Cheng Ying felt that it was just so-so and not very interesting, so she begged Lin Dafu to take her to continue strolling around the streets.

Lin Dafu had no choice but to agree!

When they passed a stall selling sugar figurines, Cheng Ying's eyes lit up, and Lin Dafu, seeing this, bought her one.

While eating a sugar figurine, Cheng Ying suddenly heard a melodious zither tune. Curious, she followed the sound and found a woman playing the zither on the second floor of an elegant teahouse.

Cheng Ying was deeply attracted and wanted to go inside to watch. Lin Dafu hesitated for a moment, but still took her into the teahouse.
