Chapter 1470 - Dense Fog
Chapter 1470: Dense Fog
One of the soldiers was holding a small dark-colored box in his hand. On the box was a square red flag. There were a few soldiers behind the two soldiers. The villagers surrounded them, and some of her aunts were sobbing.
Later, she found out that her mother sacrificed herself and her remains rested in that small dark-colored box.
The peach blossoms fell like rain. The sky was filled with grey mist, and it was drizzling. When it fell on her face, it was very cold. Her heart felt empty.
They all said that her mother sacrificed. Sacrifice meant death.
What was death?
When she was three years old, she experienced her mother’s death and understood what death was.
“When I sent her, the willow tree at the edge of the pond had just turned green. The peach blossoms were at the end. I know that my mother sacrificed herself,” Ye Jian said softly. She knew that Commissioner Cai hoped that she would be able to answer every sentence he said. Then, she would link them together and know if she was the daughter of his old friend.
Commissioner Cai, who was leaning against the back of the chair, sat up straight unconsciously. There were tears in his deep eyes. “All our comrades liked to call her ‘Red Plum.'”
“Is it because her name has the word ‘snow’?” Ye Jian raised her hand and wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. She knew that her heart was beating a little fast. It was as if it was going to jump out of her throat.
With every word, she observed Commissioner Cai more carefully. She didn’t want to miss any of the expressions on the middle-aged man’s face.
She thought that she did meet her mother’s old friend and her former comrade.
Commissioner Cai’s eyes were filled with nostalgia, sorrow, and reminiscence of the past. “Yes, her name has the word ‘snow,’ like a red plum blooming in the snow. That’s why her codename was ‘Red Plum.’ Red plums blooming in the snow.”
As he spoke, his voice turned hoarse. “Sun Xueqing, this is my old friend and my former comrade.”
There was no mistake. Ye Jian must be her daughter.
Red Plum, Red Plum, I didn’t expect your daughter to be so old. She even inherited her mother’s aspirations and became a female soldier who served the country just like you!
You must feel gratified in the afterlife.
Commissioner Cai completely believed that the girl in front of him was the daughter of his old friend. His serious eyes turned warm as he slowly talked about the past. “I know that she has a daughter. All the comrades in the team know about it. However, more than ten years ago, we sent a letter and asked about it. We received a reply from the town saying that Comrade Sun Xueqing’s daughter died due to an accident. We asked a retired comrade to ask about it and received the same reply.”
“They all said that you went out to play at noon in the summer and unfortunately fell into the water and died. Your comrades in the same class as Red Plum all believed it. We all believed that you died.”
In the end, Red Plum’s daughter was still here! He met her!
At this moment, Commissioner Cai believed that the young female soldier in front of him was the daughter of their comrade, Sun Xueqing.
She never knew that her mother’s comrades had come to ask about her. However, even if they did, she wouldn’t know. When she was young, she struggled to survive in Sun Dongqing’s hands. She was forced by Ye Ying to be timid and weak. In addition, Ye Zhifan received Grandma Ye’s orders to deliberately cripple her. She didn’t know anything about the outside world.
