"General Xue, General Xue......" Xue Ping smiled bitterly, "In your heart, am I not your brother anymore?" ”
Xue Jian smiled, "When you go back, you will probably tell your father about seeing me, right?" No, you will definitely say, how can such a filial son hide something from his father? Maybe we'll have to repeat every word we talked about to my father. It's always good for his old man to think that when I have been wandering outside all these years, my speech has become more unruly, right? Always learn to be polite when dealing with people. ”
"Politeness is to outsiders."
"Am I not an outsider to you now?" Xue Jian was puzzled: "Dad's temper is probably already in my heart when I died, right?" ”
Xue Ping was speechless, not knowing what to say. He is not his father, those speculations are what he thought, if he took Xue Jian home recklessly, what would happen to his father when he saw it, he couldn't predict it.
Xue Jian's little junior brother politely helped Xue Ping take away the horse, and Xue Ping inquired before he knew that Xue Jian had studied medicine here all these years.
"How do you think of studying medicine?"
"I always feel that there is no point in waiting to live and die, and I always think after my mother dies," Xue Jian paused before saying, "If I had studied medicine earlier, would my mother have survived?" ”
Xue Ping was silent for a moment before saying, "People are not gods, and my mother's death has nothing to do with you." ”
"Brother, you're still so inconsolable."
"You're finally willing to call me brother."
"Call it or not, you're all my brother, why bother?" Xue Jian smiled, "But I'm really good at medicine now, don't you invite me to go to your army to treat your South Vietnamese soldiers?" ”
"You?" It's hard to believe that the younger brother who doesn't do anything seriously can treat people.
Xue Jian's junior brother came to serve tea and interjected: "Senior brother, you don't know that my senior brother's medical skills are very powerful, even people as strict as my master say that he is very talented in studying medicine, and he also lost to him." ”
Xue Ping was a little surprised, "Your master has such a big reputation, and his medical skills can be lost to my younger brother?" ”
The little disciple waved his hand hurriedly, "That's not what I mean, it's ......"
"When I begged my master, he refused to accept me, saying that I was not sincere in studying medicine and had no talent. I made a bet with Master that if I didn't let him retract this sentence within a year, I would leave without any more entanglement. Xue Jian said again: "But I have stayed so far, so it can be seen that I am not the one who lost." ”
After finishing speaking, Xue Jian gave the little junior brother another slap on the head, "What senior brother, brother, screaming nonsense." ”
The little disciple hugged his head aggrievedly, "What should it be called?" ”
"General Xue!"
"There is a general, and there is another General Xue." The little disciple rubbed his face, "It's all confusing me." ”
Xue Ping heard the word "style" at the tip of his ear. General? Here and now, as expected, that General Shi and the one he thought should be the same person. After all, the surname "Shi" is not common.
"Formula 9 micro." Xue Ping didn't use a question. He looked at Xue Jian and waited for him to explain.
Xue Jian didn't want to hide it, and said bluntly: "Yes, I saved the people in the Beizhao army, what's the matter?" ”
Xue Ping's first reaction was, how could this be? Anger then swelled, but he tried to restrain himself. He didn't want his brothers to meet again, so he scolded Xue Jian in the blink of an eye. The person in front of him has disappeared for five or six years, and he always has to think twice before talking to him.
Xue Ping weighed his tone and said, "Don't you know that the two armies are fighting?" ”
"I'm in South Vietnam, I'm not deaf and blind, how can I not know?"
"Okay, you know." Xue Ping controlled his tone and said: "You also called General Shi Jiu Wei just now, and when you came to save her, you knew her identity, right?" ”
Xue Jian shook her head, "I saved the Beizhao Army under her, not Shi Jiuwei." And in detail, it was she who saved me, not me. ”
Xue Ping was a little confused, "Why did she save you again?" ”
Xue Jian didn't want to elaborate on the experience of his acquaintance with Shi Jiuwei, so he said concisely: "I broke my leg when I entered the mountain on a snowy day, and she saved me and took me down the mountain." I didn't want to owe her a favor, so I promised to help her save the Northern Zhao Army, that's all. ”
"Wronged." Xue Ping sighed, "What are you doing in the mountains with such heavy snow?" ”
Xue Jian hooked her lips and smiled, this smile was a little cold and a little mocking, "My mother loved Snow Lotus the most when she was alive, but she was seriously ill and couldn't go out, and then she was so sick that she couldn't see her eyes, and she couldn't see it." The snow lotus in the mountains is also unintentionally bumped into when I was picking medicine, but the flowering period is long, and it will only bloom and bear fruit in three or five years, I waited for three years to collect fruit seeds, and plant them in front of my mother's grave in the next year, but her wish was fulfilled. He paused slightly, "That flower likes the cold, the colder it is, the less likely it is to die, I think about it for a long time before going out on a blizzard day." ”
Xue Ping didn't know what to say. A lot of things are predestined. He didn't dare to say that Xue Jian was wrong, at least he was careless and never knew what flowers his mother liked.
"But you saved the Northern Zhao Army, and the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, which is very unfavorable to our South Vietnamese Army."
"The two armies are fighting according to their own abilities, if the South Vietnamese army will win because the Northern Zhao army is infected with a vicious disease, then will General Xue want such a victory?"
He called him General Xue again!
Xue Ping knew that Xue Jian was not happy to mention the affairs of the army, but his identity was there, and he had something to say, "But if you do this, once the matter reaches the ears of the king, do you know what trouble it will cause to the Xue family?" ”
"When I joined the Northern Zhao Army, I was in the name of a mountain doctor, not the second son of General Xue of Nanyue, let alone the younger brother of General Xue Ping, the main general of the rivalry." Xue Jian was displeased, "Practitioners only know how to treat diseases and save people, without General Xue's foresight, they must consider the overall deployment in everything they do." ”
Xue Ping closed his mouth abruptly and took a deep breath. The more he talked, the more stiff he became, and if he continued to talk about it, he would really break up unhappily.
"Okay, since you said that you would cure the sick and save people, how about I ask Doctor Xue to also heal our South Vietnamese soldiers?" Seeing that Xue Jian didn't speak, Xue Ping said excitedly: "Didn't you just say that you don't treat everyone equally?" Why, it's been thinking about it for so long? ”
Xue Jian frowned slightly, "It's okay to save people, I'll go and go back quietly, don't alarm your father." ”
"You really won't go back to the Xue family for the rest of your life?"
"I've been idle all these years, and when I go back, my father will definitely be unaccustomed to it, and he's old, so why bother making him angry."
"You know Daddy is old?" Xue Ping shook his head, "Dad actually misses you very much, I don't think you don't miss Dad at all, right?" Dad is old, and now he is retired to the house, and it is boring to have nothing to do, and Dad has a much better temper now, listen to my brother's words, let's go back and see each other, okay? ”
Good no good? Xue Jian didn't give an answer, but he didn't try to refute it again.
Before the two brothers left, Xue Ping secretly instructed the little disciple, saying that there was something at home and his senior brother would not come back for a short time.
The illness in the South Vietnamese army was only a physical discomfort caused by a sudden change in the ordinary climate, and it was not the same as the epidemic in North Zhao. However, Xue Jian still prescribed a preventive decoction to everyone in the army. The weather is cold, and the three armies are hard. In fact, when he went to the Northern Zhao Army, Xue Jian had this feeling, and it was the first time he stepped into a place that he had originally tried to avoid.
In the South Vietnamese Army, the feeling was even greater. After all, this is his homeland, a place that his father defended with blood and sweat. He suddenly felt a little emotional, so when Xue Ping asked him to go home, he didn't firmly refuse.
Xue Ping couldn't stay for long, because he was still on standby in the army. But I guess I was not at ease, I was afraid that he would have some dispute with his father, so I went back with him.
The results were staggering. Old General Xue was indeed an old man in his last years, and he stood by the door for a long time, as if he couldn't make out who it was.
He looked at Xue Jian, and finally raised his sleeve and wiped his eyes, "Back?" After a pause, he asked, "Have you eaten?" ”
Xue Jian couldn't say anything about it anymore. The mood when I left home many years ago finally overlapped with the scene at this moment. He tried his best to endure the emotions rolling in his heart, and slowly knelt down, "Dad, I'm back." "I'm your unfilial son Xue Jian, I'm back.
Parents are here, not far away.
He's been away from home for years, long enough. Out of compensation, his father was accommodating, so the father and son got along well at first. Xue Ping returned to the army, and after Xue Jian rested, he began to check General Xue's body. There is no way, after becoming a healer, this habit cannot be stopped.
General Xue mentioned Xue Jian's marriage. This incident became the fuse for everything.
The old general had only two sons. The eldest son, Xue Ping, attacked his position as a general, and if there was no accident, he would be inseparable from the battlefield for the rest of his life. The battlefield is difficult, so difficult that the head is tied to the waistband of his pants at any time. And Xue Ping also knows this very well, he never cares about marriage, and is always afraid of hurting other people's girls, so it is hopeless to expect him to leave the Xue family behind.
Since retiring, General Xue's attention has completely shifted from military affairs to "no queen is great", but Xue Ping always slipped away on the grounds that he was busy with military affairs, and this reason made General Xue unable to say anything wrong.
Fortunately, Xue Jian came back. Now he has become the main target of General Xue.
At first, Xue Jian didn't think there was anything, but after many times, he couldn't tell it anymore.
went out to eat and drink, General Xue took him with him, and met his colleagues and old friends, who kept praising his daughter for her virtue and beauty; went out to visit friends, General Xue asked him to go with him, and after passing through the house, he kept hearing the sound of the piano, he didn't ask, and some people introduced that it was played by his young lady, how talented his young lady was; Even when he went out to grab a medicine, he was chased by a servant from his mansion to deliver something that he personally handed over to General Xue, and he secretly opened it to see that the eight-character sticker of a certain lady was ......
Xue Jian decided to talk to his father, the very formal kind. Because he always felt that he continued to pretend to be stupid like this, one day he suddenly got married and had a wife, he was kept in the dark, and the last one to know.
He knew that what he was going to say would be a big impact on Old General Xue, so he deliberately chose a day when the old general was in a good mood, and he was in the pavilion with his father and had a drink with the moon.
