Dreams Return to 79

  "Where have I ended up?"

  Lin Zhenhua rubbed his head and opened his eyes to find himself lying in a simple room, with a policeman wearing a big hat sitting beside him, smiling at him. Lin Zhenhua felt that something was not quite right, and after thinking carefully, he realized that the policeman's uniform was not the familiar dark blue color, but rather white on top and blue on bottom, with a red badge on the collar.

  "Comrade, are you awake?" the policeman asked kindly.

  "What kind of place is this?" Lin Zhenhua asked.

  The police officer replied politely: "This is the Hongshan Police Station of Yuyang County, Xiangping Province. I am the captain here, named Lu Zhiqiang."

  "How did I end up here?" Lin Zhenhua was still not fully awake, he vaguely remembered that he was in the laboratory of Huqing University doing experiments, and then suddenly entered a chaotic space. He didn't know how long he had been drifting in that space, it was like an instant, but also like a whole century. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in this even more inexplicable Yuyang County Red Mountain Police Station, he didn't even know there was a county with this name.

  "Yesterday, the long-distance bus you were on passed through Hongshan Pass, where several thugs blocked the bus and attempted to rob the passengers. You and a few other passengers stood up and subdued the thugs, with you single-handedly taking down three of them. At that point, the last thug detonated an improvised explosive device. In order to protect a young girl on the bus, you were injured by the explosion. The crowd sent you to our police station, where you have been unconscious until now."

  I have such glorious experiences, Lin Zhenhua said to himself secretly. He had already understood his situation clearly. In his previous life in the 21st century, if you hadn't experienced a few instances of time-traveling, it would be embarrassing to greet others. You must have been someone with explosive personality, who boarded the time-traveling train and arrived at an unfamiliar era. As for this era, it was definitely in New China, because the police in front of him were from New China, but the time might be earlier.

  Lin Zhenhua fell silent for a moment, and some residual memories of the owner of this body gradually emerged. The owner of this body was also named Lin Zhenhua, 18 years old, a demobilized soldier who had just come down from the battlefield of the self-defense counterattack war. Before joining the army, he was a child of Jiangnan Province Fenghua County Hanhua Machinery Factory. He had just escorted his wounded platoon leader back to his hometown and was now on his way home by car, waiting for job assignment. The reason for his coma was, as Lu Zhiqiang said, that he had seen justice and fought bravely against the villains, and was finally injured by a homemade bomb made by the villains. As for the current time, the calendar on the wall clearly read: August 25, 1979.

  "Did... Lu Zong, catch the thug?" Lin Zhenhua made small talk with Lu Zhiqiang, he needed to adapt to his identity quickly through this way.

  "One of the thugs was blown up on the spot and several others were caught by the crowd," said Lu Zhiqiang.

  "Is everyone safe?" Lin Zhenhua asked, but in fact, this was not what he wanted to ask. He just felt that heroes should always ask this at times like these.

  As expected, this sentence made Lu Zhiqiang have a few more good impressions of Lin Zhenhua, what a good comrade, he was unconscious for half a day, and when he woke up, he still cared about the masses he protected.

  "Don't worry, Comrade Lin, all comrades are safe, how's your body?"

  Lin Zhenhua stretched out his hand and touched himself, several wounds still hurt a bit, but he felt no big deal. He thought wickedly that perhaps the original owner of this body had indeed suffered fatal injuries and had already gone to heaven, and now taking over this body was Lin Zhenhua, a graduate student in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Huqing University more than 30 years later, equivalent to resetting the system and starting again, so naturally there was no big problem.

  Lin Zhenhua was still unfamiliar with his body. His original self, although intelligent, had weak muscles and always failed the physical test. But this new body had strong muscles and, according to Lu Zhiqiang, he single-handedly took down three thugs, indicating that his combat skills were quite good. The residual memories told him that the original Lin Zhenhua was a soldier in the reconnaissance company of the People's Liberation Army, with excellent military quality.

  "Lu Suo Chang, I'm fine. As a former scout, this little injury is nothing." Lin Zhenhua said with a swagger.

  "Hmm, now it seems that you're really fine," said Lu Zhiqiang. "When the masses just carried you over, you didn't even have a pulse, and you were rescued for several hours at the commune hospital. It's strange to say, but suddenly, you got better, it's truly a miracle."

  "Hmm, it's indeed a miracle." Lin Zhenhua said with an awkward smile. He naturally knew that in an instant, the original Lin Zhenhua had left and a new Lin Zhenhua appeared. This was considered a miracle back then, but by the 21st century, when everyone was crossing over, it was nothing more than a cliché.

  "Kobayashi, how are you feeling now? If it's okay with you, get up and make a record," said Lu Zhiqiang.

  "No problem, I can get up." Lin Zhenhua sat up from the bed, took a slight pause, and then followed Lu Zhiqiang out of the temporary sickroom into his office.

  The Hongshan Police Station was just a commune police station, very small in scale and without a dedicated interrogation room. Lu Zhiqiang simply made a brief record of Lin Zhenhua's statement in his own office. It was called a record, but actually it was just Lu Zhiqiang speaking and Lin Zhenhua nodding and signing. Lu Zhiqiang was just going through the motions because all the culprits in this case had already been caught, and all the passengers on the bus had made statements about what happened at the time. Lin Zhenhua seemed to be listening to a story. However, the plot of this story was very exciting for Lin Zhenhua. At that time, several young men on the bus came out to fight against the thugs, but Lin Zhenhua was the bravest one, knocking down three thugs in just a few rounds.

  "Alright, Comrade Lin Zhenhua, it's all settled now. Later we'll write a certificate for you to prove your bravery in fighting against the bad guys and saving the little girl. By the way, the little girl and her father are still outside waiting to thank you personally," said Lu Zhiqiang.

  "No need to thank me, haha, it's what I should do," said Lin Zhenhua.

  "Please come in, Comrade He." Lu Zhiqiang shouted out towards the outside.

  Before long, a small policeman opened the door and walked in with two people from outside. The father looked over 30 years old, of medium build, wearing a Zhongshan suit, looking somewhat cultured. The daughter was only around 10 years old, wearing a dress, with a pointed chin and big eyes, having some potential to be a little beauty. Lin Zhenhua had some impression, this little girl was sitting next to him at that time, when the bandit ignited the landmine, he immediately pressed the little girl under his body, protecting her life.

  "It's Kobayashi, isn't it? Thanks for what you did yesterday." The father figure hastened his pace and came over to shake hands with Lin Zhenhua.

  Lu Zhiqiang introduced on the side: "This is Comrade He Haifeng from the Light Industry Department of Xiangping Province."

  “Uh, Mr...” Lin Zhenhua was momentarily at a loss for words, unsure of how to address him properly. Lu Zhiqiang had only introduced He Haifeng's unit, but not his position, so Lin Zhenhua didn't know what title to use either. If it were in later times, he could naturally call him Mr. He, but at that time, it seemed like no one called each other that way. If he called him Comrade He, it would sound a bit strange, and Lin Zhenhua felt like he couldn't bring himself to say it.

  "Just call my name, no need to be polite." He Haifeng said hastily, he pulled over his daughter and said to Lin Zhenhua: "This is my daughter, He Lan, yesterday thanks to you using your body to press her down, otherwise she would have been injured by the shell. Come on, Lanlan, quickly thank Uncle."

  He Lan stared at Lin Zhenhua with her big, bright eyes, hesitated for a moment, then turned to He Haifeng and said, "Dad, he's not uncle, he's brother."

  "Nonsense, he's Uncle Liberation Army." He Haifeng still insisted.

  "It's Liberation Army brother." He Lan was even more determined.

  "Fine, be a brother then." Lin Zhenhua hastily agreed. At 18 years old, being called uncle by someone younger was indeed a bit unsuitable. However, if he became a brother, wouldn't He Haifeng become his uncle?

  "Thanks, Liberation Army big brother." He Lan won the victory in terms of title, and said sweetly.

  "This kid, really doesn't understand things." He Haifeng smiled and patted He Lan's head, apologetically saying to Lin Zhenhua, "Little Lin, don't mind him."

  "Uh... what, how..." Lin Zhenhua hesitated, still unable to think of a suitable way to address him.

  He Haifeng understood Lin Zhenhua's predicament and smiled: "Originally, you just called me He Dage, but now the generations are messed up. Let's do this, you call me Old He."

  "That's okay, Old He, where is our car?" Lin Zhenhua asked.

  Lu Zhiqiang said, "The car you're sitting in is broken and the driver is repairing it. I estimate that you'll have to leave tomorrow. But don't worry, you can stay at our police station for free."

  "Alright, let's go have a meal first." He Haifeng said, "Xiao Lin saved Lanlan, I must show my appreciation in some way. Director Lu, please join us too?"
