Inside the door, the old lady with white hair fell silent after hearing the name.

His eyes moved upward, a little trance-like, as if he was lost in memories.

After a long time, the old lady withdrew her gaze and looked at Lian Ge again.

"...You come in first."

As she spoke, the old lady let go of her hand holding the doorknob and stepped aside.

After looking at the old lady, Lian Ge moved his steps and stepped into the house.

…

"You sit down first and I'll get you a glass of water."

"No need to bother."

"If you want it, if you want it... it will be ready right away."

After the old lady led Lian Ge to sit down in the living room, she turned around and walked to the kitchen to get busy.

After Lian Ge glanced at the female ghost officer who also followed him in, he turned and looked inside the house.

The house is not very big, and the furnishings are a bit old, but just like the old lady herself, it is kept very tidy.

…

After walking to the water dispenser and taking out two stacked disposable paper cups from under the water dispenser, the old lady paused again, a little lost in thought.

After a moment of silence, he came back to his senses. He hurriedly took some dried lemon slices from under the water dispenser, added some rock sugar, poured a cup of hot water, and walked back with it.

"...Come, have a drink of water."

The old lady showed a smile on her face and handed the water to Lian Ge.

Glancing at the open water dispenser door behind the old lady, Lian Ge retracted his gaze, stretched out his hands to take it, thanked him, and put the water cup on the coffee table in front of him.

The old lady watched Lian Ge take the water glass, then hesitated again, as if she couldn't find anything else to do, and then sat down on the other sofa next to Lian Ge.

"The name Huo Siguo... I haven't heard it for a long time. It's been a long time... Are you his descendant?" Looking at Lian Ge, the old lady was silent for a while and asked.

"No." Lian Ge looked at the old lady and shook his head.

Hearing this, the old lady nodded silently and did not continue to ask any more questions.

But after being silent, he looked at Lian Ge, opened his mouth, and hesitated to speak.

"...How is he now?"

Hearing this, Lian Ge looked at the old lady and shook his head slightly.

"Not very good."

"...Yes, we are both so old. He should be ninety-two, and I am eighty-nine. In the past two years, I have been suffering from the same old problems..."

As she spoke, the old lady gradually became silent again.

Lian Ge glanced at the old lady and was not in a hurry, waiting.

The room suddenly became quiet.

…

"Click..."

At this moment, a rustling sound came from outside the living room door. It seemed that someone was opening the door with a key.

Immediately afterwards, the door opened, and a woman of about thirty years old carrying a satchel came out of the door.

"...Grandma, there must be no milk in the refrigerator. I bought you another box..."

As she spoke, the woman put the satchel in her hand and the milk in her other hand on the cabinet, bent down, and changed her shoes at the door.

"...This is..."

Raising her head again, the woman who had changed her shoes noticed Lian Ge in the living room and was a little confused.

"...let me introduce it to you."

The old lady has stood up from the sofa again,

"This is my eldest granddaughter...this is...a friend of an old friend of mine. She came to see me about something."

"Then grandma, let's talk, I'll go into the room first."

The woman nodded, carried her satchel, and walked into the room.

…

"...My children are all in other places, and only my eldest granddaughter works in Checheng. A few years ago, after my husband went there, my eldest granddaughter felt sorry for me and was worried that I would live alone, so she moved here and lived with me."

The old lady watched her granddaughter walk into the bedroom, turned her head again, with a smile on her face,

Hearing this, Lian Ge glanced at the old lady, then turned his gaze and looked at the photo frame next to the TV cabinet.

In the photo frame, there is a group photo of the old lady and her family. The old lady and another old man stand in the front row, and those hugging behind them are the old lady's children and grandchildren. In the photo, the old lady has a rosy smile on her face.

"...As for him, his children and grandchildren should be quite old. After all, he should have great-grandchildren, right?"

The old lady looked at Lian Ge, paused, and asked,

Turning his eyes back and looking at the old lady again, Lian Ge shook his head slightly.

"...Mr. Huo is not married."

Hearing the sound, the old lady paused and fell silent.

"Then...where is he now?"

"Just in Checheng." Looking at the old lady, Lian Ge said calmly, "Old lady, do you want to meet him?"

Hearing this, the old lady fell silent again,

Raising her head slightly, the old lady's turbid eyes looked forward, a little dazed, a little lost.

"... That year, when I was in Silla, after receiving the last letter from him, I wrote him a reply, but after that letter, I never received a reply from him again.

…

After returning from Silla, I went to the place where he lived before, but there was no one there... When I went out, I agreed with him on a place, and I went there to wait for him, but I didn't wait there...

I asked someone to inquire, and the person who inquired said that his unit had already withdrawn to the country... but he did not come back... He also said that his unit was severely damaged at the end of the war, and the people who returned home... were very

Young Master...at first, I didn't want to believe it, so I went to the agreed place every day to wait for him. I thought he would come back, and as long as he came back, he would definitely come here."

"Mr. Huo was seriously injured at the end of the war. He has been recuperating in Silla. After he recovered from his injuries, he withdrew to the country along with other troops." Lian Ge looked at the old lady and said aloud.

Hearing this, the old lady fell silent again,

"...Later, my family moved, and I still waited there every day...Every day from day to night, I waited like that, and time passed slowly day by day...Slowly, I began to give up.

.

I feel like he will never come back, just like the people I saw when I was in the field hospital..."

The old lady looked at the front, recalled, and said,

"...Later, after being introduced by someone, I got married to my current wife. Although we had a bumpy life, it was just like that..."

After a pause, the old lady continued,

"After I got married, I started to be afraid of going there...even if something happened to pass by there, I would avoid it. Later, we moved to this side of the city..."

After saying that, the old lady fell silent again and said no more.

Lian Ge glanced at the old lady, turned his gaze, looked at the photo next to the TV cabinet, and asked again in a calm tone,

"Old lady, do you still want to see him?"

Hearing this, the old lady was silent, her cloudy eyes looking forward, lost in thought.

"...Let's go and see him, let's go and see him."

After a long time, the old lady turned her eyes, murmured in a low voice, and repeated,

Holding up her legs, the old lady stood up again,

"...Please wait a moment, I'll go change clothes..."

After saying that, the old lady turned around and walked towards the bedroom, but after taking only two steps, the old lady paused again and shook her head.

"...Forget it, let's go like this."

"...Xiaoqin, I'm going out for a while." The old lady shouted towards the bedroom,

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of footsteps in the bedroom,

"Grandma, where are you going so late? How about I go with you." The bedroom door opened and a woman appeared behind the door.

"No, let's go see an... old friend." The old lady shook her head, turned around and looked at Lian Ge, "Little sir, let's go."

Hearing this, Lian Ge stood up again, glanced at the female ghost officer next to him, then at the old lady, then moved away and walked out of the house.
