When I asked, I saw Qin Minghao slowly standing up on the spot, trembling slightly, and staring at me with a strange look.
His parents looked on, their mouths wide open in surprise, and they were at a loss.
Of course I was prepared, and I've seen this happen many times. His second wife is pregnant!
Suddenly, I saw Qin Minghao looking at me, then slowly raising his right hand and saluting me.
This suddenly shocked the two people next to me, but I smiled slightly, and then bowed deeply to him.
He is a martyr, I must respect this. It is normal to bow.
Next to him, Qin Minghao's father came over tremblingly and asked, "Is this...is this his second grandfather here?"
I nodded: "It seems so. If you have anything to ask, just hurry up."
He waved his hand quickly: "I don't dare to ask. I just want to know if this is his second master. Don't make a mistake."
I smiled and said, "That's right, he's wearing a military uniform."
He lowered his voice and asked, "Did you see clearly? He originally joined the national army."
Uh...yes, his second grandfather was captured as a young man by the National Army, but I just saw that he was wearing the clothes of the Eighth Route Army.
You can't make this mistake, otherwise you'll be in trouble.
So I also asked carefully: "Senior, may I ask...which part do you belong to?"
Please forgive me for asking so directly. I really don’t know how to ask. Anyway, it’s the same question in TV dramas, so it shouldn’t be wrong!
But after I asked, the man attached to Qin Minghao still looked straight at me, his expression a little excited, but no matter how I asked, he remained silent.
After thinking about it, I decided that I'd better not let him say it, and I'd try another way.
So I asked, "Since you don't want to say anything, let me ask. Just nod and shake your head. Let me ask you, are you a Eighth Route Army?"
It worked this time. Although he didn't speak, he could understand what I said, so he nodded vigorously.
After getting his confirmation, I felt relieved, so I asked again: "So were you a member of the national army before, but then... surrendered?"
This time, he nodded again to express his confirmation.
I asked again: "Are you the second master of the Qin family?"
He looked at me and nodded vigorously again.
Aha, then this is no problem at all, everything is correct. No wonder some people say that he has rebelled. It turns out that he turned from the dark side to the bright side!
At the beginning, I also doubted whether Qin Minghao’s school was built on a cemetery, and the Eighth Route Army happened to be buried in the cemetery, and Qin Minghao followed Qin Minghao by accident.
As a result, looking at it now, there is no doubt that this is Qin Minghao's second grandfather.
So I thought about it and asked again: "Since you are the second master of the Qin family, why do you pester this child and always give him a headache? Do you have any demands or obsessions?"
His expression became excited again, but it was obvious that he had a little difficulty speaking. After mumbling for a long time, he squeezed out two words from his throat.
"...be...a soldier..."
Soldier? ? ?
This makes me a little strange. He has been dead for so many years, why is he still a soldier?
Shouldn't his obsession be to vindicate himself?
After all, the locals said that he had turned traitor and turned into a traitor.
After thinking for a while, I suddenly understood, so I asked: "Do you mean that you want Qin Minghao to become a soldier instead of letting him go to school?"
As soon as I said this, I saw joy on his face and he nodded repeatedly.
Well, this time I finally got the idea right. No wonder Qin Minghao had a headache as soon as he went to school. It was because his second grandfather wanted him to be a soldier and didn't want him to go to school!
I rubbed my head and said speechlessly: "This is your fault. Even if you want your child to be a soldier, you can't stop him from going to school. Can't you wait until he goes to college to become a soldier?"
This time he didn't know how to answer. He looked excited and shook his head at me. He only said the word "be a soldier".
This is strange. Why is he so obsessed with being a soldier?
So I asked him: "If you insist on letting your child become a soldier, what do you want your child to do after becoming a soldier?"
He became excited again, waved his arms, and suddenly shouted three words very clearly in his mouth.
"Fight the devil!"
I couldn't help but be moved. Looking at the veteran and anti-Japanese martyr in front of me, I understood it all at once.
His obsession was not to vindicate himself or to prevent his children from going to school, but to want Qin Minghao to serve as a soldier and fight the Japanese!
Really, when I heard this, my eye circles turned red instantly, and I felt an inexplicable excitement welling up in my chest.
What we are saying is, regardless of whether they were captured as young men or not, they later joined the Eighth Route Army in the anti-Japanese war and died on the battlefield.
Even after so many years of death and more than half a century later, his obsession is still to fight the Japanese.
Protect your home and country!
Qin Minghao's father next to him also understood and said anxiously: "Second Grandpa, we are at peace now. We are no longer fighting, and we are no longer bullied. There is no need to be a soldier."
The second grandfather didn't seem to understand very well, and looked at us with doubtful eyes, as if he were asking.
I calmed down, took a deep breath, went directly to the door of the courtyard, and then slowly opened the door.
Just outside the door is a flat road with shops on both sides. People live freely and peacefully.
I pointed to the door and said to him: "You can come and take a look. Now this prosperous age has gone as you wished. The devils have been driven away by us long ago. You can rest in peace."
He came to the door blankly and looked out...
In fact, I know very well that this so-called ghost is actually just an obsession, because it is difficult for him to communicate even basicly. Strictly speaking, he is not even a ghost.
After more than half a century, even a ghost wandering the world should have gone somewhere long ago, or his soul has disappeared.
But he has relied on this obsession to fight the Japanese and has persisted until now. It's a pity that he can't perceive everything in this world and can only use this method of possession.
At this time, I saw him staring blankly at this "new" world to him. His eyes gradually became blurred, then turned to joy, and finally turned to excitement.
I sighed and advised: "So, since this prosperous age has gone as you wished, you don't have to stay in the world, let alone drag this child to serve as a soldier. The child also has his dream. If you are worried, Why not reincarnate yourself, come to the human world in person, and experience the current world, wouldn't it be better?"
