I didn't expect to be told by Xiang Gang.

Three days later, Xiang Gang's vacation ended.

Yingfang's school has also reopened.

The couple returned to a busy and regular life.

This day coincided with Sunday, Xiang Gang camp training, Ying Fang was bored at home, so she simply carried a bamboo basket and took Lao Jin to the vegetable field at the foot of the mountain.

It's the beginning of June, and in addition to being a little cool in the morning and evening, you can sweat when you wear short sleeves during the day.

A few days ago, Yingfang spliced a headscarf with an elegantly colored rag head, wrapped her long hair smoothly, so as not to sweat and stick to her face, and went downstairs in a crisp suit with only a wide-hemped narrow-sleeved shirt and wide-legged trousers that were below her ankles.

met Feng Meijuan, who had not been seen for several days at the door of the unit, and stepped forward to care: "Sister-in-law, how is the injury of the third battalion commander?"

Feng Meijuan glanced at her coldly, and walked past her upstairs without saying a word.

After walking a few steps, he stopped and said, "Do you look down on me? I, a city man, can obviously marry a worker and live a stable life that everyone envies, but I prefer a poor soldier." His family's bloodsuckers spent his allowance in the Great Northwest, but my daughter and I followed him to save money. If he had made a mistake, I would have accepted it. But in the end...... Forget it, it's all divided, what are you talking about!"

"Sister-in-law!" Ying Fang seemed to be shocked when she heard something.

But after Feng Meijuan finished speaking, she took three steps and two steps upstairs, and slammed the door with a "bang".

"Xiao Shu, have you seen Feng Meijuan?" Li Shuangying hurriedly walked over.

Ying Fang nodded: "Just went upstairs." Sister-in-law, is something happening?"

"Well, it's a long story. Li Shuangying sighed, "Li Jianshu's parents, brother and sister-in-law came here and made a big fuss in the ward over the consolation money." Li Jianshu's man...... Alas, filial piety is too much, I can't pull my face and make trouble with my family, I promised to give them half of it, Feng Meijuan disagreed, the two of them fell out for this matter, and the quarrel turned upside down, and I don't know who impulsively mentioned divorce, no, broke ......"

Ying Fang opened her mouth and looked up at the third floor.

Li Shuangying also followed her line of sight and looked displeased: "A few years old, I still do things without thinking, I touch my mouth up and down, I will leave, and I don't think about my daughter, such parents, alas...... Forget it, everything that should be persuaded has been persuaded, so what can you do. By the way, help me take a look at my family's land, help me pick some if you can eat, I'll go to Yuxiang's house to see Tiantian, such a pair of parents on the stall, that child is pitiful enough......"

Ying Fang hurriedly said: "Yuxiang's sister-in-law took the children to the small playground of the army early in the morning to play, saying that she would go back after lunch. ”

I sighed in my heart. Li Shuangying went to the hospital yesterday afternoon, stayed at her mother's house late for a night, and asked Tiantian as soon as she came back today. But Feng Meijuan, who is her mother, has been gone for so many days, and she doesn't care when she comes back.

Li Shuangying wanted to go home to wash her clothes, and asked Yingfang to bring back a few handfuls of vegetables, but she didn't explain anything else, so Yingfang went to the foot of the mountain alone.

Lao Jin was impatient to wait, and squatted at the gate, looking ready to go. Seeing Yingfang come out, he rushed out like an arrow, ran happily for a while, and then turned back and paced to her side, running and pacing for a while, never too far away from her.

When she arrived at the foot of the mountain, Yingfang first went to see the vegetable fields of the two families, and sure enough, there were many of them that could be picked. But I didn't pick it right away, I have to go up the mountain, it's hot, I picked it now, and when I get home, it's wilted.

I still chose the mountain road from last time, but this time I didn't pick many wild fruits, and my attention was more focused on herbs. Now that you have decided to practice medicine, of course, the more herbs you have, the better. After picking herbs, I picked two handfuls of wild fruits. So I climbed all the way and picked all the way, and when I reached the top of the mountain, the bamboo basket was half full.

When I got to the top of the mountain, I found a flat rock and sat down to rest.

Lao Jin is really tired, after all, he is eleven years old, and he can be called the older generation among dogs. He crouched beside her with his tongue shut, but his eyes were fixed on the mountain pass for a moment.

"Someone's coming?"

"Woo......"

Ying Fang sat upright and moved the bamboo basket behind her.

It was a strong man in his forties, wearing a homespun shirt and a pair of gray black cloth shoes.

However, it is reassuring that he wears a red sleeve on his upper arm.

"Who are you, what are you doing in the mountains?" the other said, speaking Mandarin with a northern accent, as he approached her and asked her.

Ying Fang thought of what Doctor He said, the major hospitals and health schools in the provincial capital have been carrying out the "Chinese herbal medicine campaign" one after another during this time, and the kick-off meeting of the military hospital is scheduled for next Wednesday.

In other words, after next Wednesday, she will be able to go into the mountains to collect herbs in the open.

So he replied with his head held high: "I am an apprentice in the military hospital, and I went into the mountains to collect some herbs." ”

The other party obviously also saw the bamboo basket she was protecting behind her, and saw that there were indeed some soft batches of flowers and plants in it, so he warned solemnly: "The trees on the mountain are not allowed to be cut, not even the branches." I have to chop firewood and go to Houshan Bay, where there is a lot of thatch. ”

"Uncle who knows. ”

The strong man didn't know which word he heard, and twitched the corner of his mouth. Without saying anything more, he turned and headed for another hill.

Ying Fang breathed a long sigh of relief and rested on the spot for a while. Just as he was about to get up, the strong man turned back again, looked at her twice, and asked tentatively: "You are an apprentice in the military hospital, how should you know how to get the pus from the wound?"

"Where is Uncle injured?" Ying Fang glanced at him, but didn't see any signs of injury.

"Not me. The strong man waved his hand, scratched his head and explained, "It's a brother of mine." A few days ago, I was patrolling the mountains and was bitten by a wolf cub. At that time, there was a tooth mark, and I didn't pay much attention to it, but I found that it was suppurating in the past two days. ”

"There are wolves in this mountain too?" Ying Fang was stunned for a moment.

"I didn't have it before, but I only heard a wolf howl during this time, and I can't figure out how it came for a while. But it seems that there is a lonely she-wolf and wolf cub, entrenched in a col in front of her, and it will be fine if you don't go there. My brother was also unlucky that day and was ...... Chasing a hare, he mistakenly broke into the she-wolf's territory. But fortunately, the she-wolf was not at home, but was bitten by the little wolf, otherwise how could there be a life......"

The strong man saw Lao Jin staring at him with burning eyes, and his ears moved from time to time, and he couldn't help but laugh: "You big dog is very smart at first glance, and it seems to understand my words." ”

Ying Fang touched Lao Jin's head, picked up the bamboo basket and said, "Then uncle, you lead the way, I'll help your brother take care of the wound." ”

The strong man lived in the warden's dormitory halfway up the mountain, which was said to be a dormitory, but in fact it was a stone room with some palm and thatch on the roof. There were three beds side by side in the room, one of which contained a young man of twenty-five or sixteen years old.

The wound was on the left ankle, the wound was clearly infected, not only suppurated, but also blackened.
