This game is awesome

Chapter 56 [Zhang Enwen]

In the small meeting room of the studio, Gu Qingshi was shaking hands with a middle-aged woman who was wearing a black suit and looked rather haggard.

"Hello, hello, I'm Zhang Rui."

"I'm Gu Qingshi, and I'm the one who posted "Song of the International Brigade" online."

When Zhang Rui heard the six words "Song of the International Brigade", she felt relieved.

She glanced at Gu Qingshi and said excitedly, "I saw the poem you completed on the Internet. This is the original text of the International Brigade Song. So I want to ask, did any of your elders ever join the Brigade?"

Gu Qingshi shook her head.

Seeing this, the woman was instantly disappointed, even a little at a loss, and asked in a begging tone: "Excuse me...is he gone?"

"No, except for my parents, my family has never been abroad for four generations, and no one in our family tree has ever participated in foreign political activities."

Gu Qingshi said quietly: "I'm sorry, but I'm not the person you're looking for."

The woman seemed to have her soul taken away from her. She sat on the chair and smiled bitterly for a while.

"Hey, Miss Gu, Mr. Gu... Actually, it wasn't me who posted this, but my great uncle Zhang Enwen. My great uncle was a member of the International Brigade. After the battle, they had to return home, so before leaving, they asked a foreign poet to compose a song to commemorate them. This song is what you call the International Brigade Song."

"My uncle is now seriously ill in bed. His biggest dream before he got sick was to meet his comrades again, so he posted a lot of messages a few years ago, hoping to find his former comrades..."

It’s a pity that this is just the old man’s wishful thinking, as those people have long passed away.

Gu Qingshi gradually understood.

This is the old-fashioned story of an old man trying to find his lost friends after the war.

But she didn't expect that this old man was actually an eyewitness to the International Brigade.

Decades have passed and the archives on the International Brigade have been lost. The current list is still based on the complete list from the domestic census conducted thirty years ago.

All the Chinese members of the International Brigades whose names have been announced by the authorities have died. The rest have either concealed their names and changed their appearances, or died early and had no chance to write their names on the list.

And Mr. Zhang was obviously not on the list for some reason.

"Boss Gu, thank you for troubling you this time."

"No trouble." Gu Qingshi smiled, "If there is a chance, can I go visit Grandpa?"

The woman was slightly surprised, but quickly nodded.

......

......

Two days later, Saturday morning.

Gu Qingshi brought gifts to the old man's house.

Gu Qingshi was quite surprised to find out that Mr. Zhang was now recuperating in Le'an City.

After hearing what the other person said, Gu Qingshi realized that this matter had something to do with her.

More than ten years ago, Mr. Zhang recognized the geographical location of Beihai Villa and settled there.

Later, the sanatorium was not built in this place, and the old man suffered from high blood pressure, diabetes and Alzheimer's disease, so he had to be hospitalized. A few days ago, the old man felt that he didn't have much time left, so he asked his children to take him out.

This is a high-end residential area in the east of Le'an City, Longxiang Jiayuan, which is a villa community for retired old men and women.

Gu Qingshi followed the address provided by Zhang Rui and suddenly met a familiar figure on the road.

Why is there a skinny old man barbecuing outside?

Aren't you afraid of damaging the lawn?

Gu Qingshi frowned slightly, without thinking much, and walked to the door of Villa No. 507.

ding dong~

As soon as the doorbell rang, Zhang Rui came to open the door in just a moment, and greeted Gu Qingshi and took her to the living room.

Mr. Zhang, wearing reading glasses, sat on the sofa, pointing at the words and reading slowly, word by word.

Half a minute later, Mr. Zhang realized that someone had come into the living room, so he looked up and saw Gu Qingshi smiling.

"Xiao Rui, your friend is here."

The old man didn't notice Zhang Rui sitting next to him at all and kept talking to himself.

"Uncle has a bit of Alzheimer's disease..." Zhang Rui reminded.

Hmm, is that so?

Gu Qingshi seemed to be thinking about something.

"Girl, would you like some juice?"

"No, no." Gu Qingshi waved her hands repeatedly. How could she dare to let this old man get her juice? "I'm doing this for you."

"Oh, I'm an old man and I don't have anything! Little girl, do you want some candy?"

As the old man was talking, he took out several pieces of White Rabbit from his pocket and forced them into Gu Qingshi's hands.

Gu Qingshi took it with a smile, picked one up and put it in her mouth, and the old man burst into laughter.

"Grandpa, my great grandfather is Luo Dashou. He asked me to come and see you."

Luo Dashou is one of the participants of the International Brigade recorded by the authorities.

"Oh, Fatty Luo! Oh, it's him! Girl, you came to our house, what gifts did you bring?"

The old man's face became much rosier, and Zhang Rui gave Gu Qingshi a grateful look.

Of course Gu Qingshi and Mr. Luo didn't know each other, this was just a white lie.

"I didn't bring much," Gu Qingshi laughed, "Grandpa asked me to come over and play with you!"

The old man was not happy, "That fat guy can only talk nonsense, I don't know anything about young people, I'll ask Xiao Rui to play with you."

After saying that, the old man was about to get up. Zhang Rui was extremely anxious at this moment, but was held down by Gu Qingshi.

Gu Qingshi stood up and comforted the old man to sit down, "That won't do! Great grandfather said that you must be allowed to play with this new thing."

As she spoke, Gu Qingshi took out two controllers from her bag and connected the laptop she brought with her to the TV in the living room.

The old man smiled as he watched Gu Qingshi busying herself there. He saw her turn on the computer and load a game program, and then a colorful picture appeared on the screen.

"This is a new movie. Wow, this gun is so lifelike."

The old man was wearing reading glasses. When he saw a man with a gun suddenly jump out on the screen and smoke filled the surroundings, he thought it was a movie.

Until Gu Qingshi put the handle in the old man's hand.

Zhang Rui was slightly stunned when she saw this. She had never thought that Mr. Gu came to her house to do this.

She also knew that Gu Qingshi was the owner of a game studio and had even sent messages to her husband before, wanting to acquire some information.

But at that time they felt that war should not be turned into entertainment, so they rejected it outright.

Zhang Rui wanted to stop him, but seeing the old man smiling, she couldn't bear to stop him.

"This is called a game, a new thing that has become popular in recent years. Move this joystick, yes."

Gu Qingshi explained to the old man with a smile.

The old man followed Gu Qingshi's instructions, moved the joystick, and saw that the soldiers on the screen suddenly started moving!

"Why is this guy still following me? Hey, this is really interesting!"

"Grandpa, look over there, someone is coming!"

Chapter 57 [Deal Completed]

"German devils!"

When he saw the red and white epaulettes with the reverse “卐” on the opposite side’s military uniform, the old man instantly regained his energy and started cursing loudly.

"Hurry up and press the handle to kill him!"

The old man pressed the shoulder button of the controller.

Snapped!

There was a flash of light and the bullet shot out immediately, hitting the opponent's shoulder.

The German soldier on the opposite side threw away his gun in pain, quickly pulled out his pistol with his left hand and fired a few bullets, then picked up an engineering shovel and rushed over.

"He's calling!"

There was visible fear on the old man's face. When the bullet flew towards him, he was so nervous that he couldn't breathe and his hands were shaking.

Snapped!

Gu Qingshi used her own controller to help the old man press the shooting button. Bullets spurted out and instantly knocked the German soldier to the ground.

"Well done! Fatty Luo, you shot well! I almost died..."

Seeing the German soldiers who were pierced by bullets, bleeding and with their hands and feet twitching, the old man breathed a sigh of relief, dropped the handle and started clapping.

But then, the old man hurriedly picked up the handle.

After getting the handle, the old man muttered, "The captain said that we have to hold the gun in our hands."

Zhang Rui who was standing by couldn't bear to watch it anymore, especially when she saw the bloody and cruel scenes on the screen. It was even more difficult for her to accept that her old man was facing such stimulation.

But before she could say anything, a shell suddenly fell from the sky.

With a loud bang, the soldiers' curses stopped abruptly, and the sky full of smoke covered the entire screen.

Only one line of words remained on the gradually dimming screen.

"Garcia Genesta"

The old man and Zhang Rui's breathing stopped at the same time, and they looked at the white words on the black background in silence.

The name also gradually faded away with the soothing music, leaving only a piece of background text.
