"You're the son of old Sheffield? You came from China? Your brother was shot in the abdomen and is resuscitating ......" The officer introduced himself, it turned out to be the commander of the cheap big brother, today Sheffield's big brother went out on patrol, and was coldly shot by the resistance hidden in the surrounding area, a flintlock pistol that was almost older than the old Sheffield, and became a hero of the Mexican people who were not afraid of power, not only eliminated a future evil slave owner, but also directly removed the boulder in front of Sheffield.

Sheffield, who had a sad face, nodded with the officer's introduction and said secretly; Shouldn't I keep this flintlock pistol in my collection and give out a medal or something?

Shot in the abdomen with a flintlock pistol? What is this concept Sheffield knows very well, the caliber of the flintlock pistol is much larger than the standard guns of later generations, once it hits the human body, the wound caused by it is very large, and the bullet of the general flintlock pistol is made of lead, and the lead bullet is not hard enough to penetrate out of the human body, but will remain in the human body to form a secondary injury. Not to mention that Sheffield's big brother also needs to face these threats of wound infection and lead poisoning.

It stands to reason that his cheap big brother should be dead. The fact was the same as Sheffield's thoughts, the officer had reservations about Sheffield's eldest brother's injury, only said that he would do his best to save him, and then asked, "Do you want to see Edmund now?" ”

Of course, if he wants to see it, how can he be at ease if he can't see people die! Sheffield followed the officer without hesitation, and walked through a ribbon to a mud house, although he had not seen him for more than half a year, he still recognized that the person lying on the platform was his brother Edmund.

"Just this dress, no wonder it was used as a target to ......" Edmond, who was wearing a striking dark blue U.S. Army uniform, profoundly defined the cruelty of war, the wound on the lower abdomen was still bleeding, and a basin next to it was already full of red gauze to stop bleeding, and Sheffield, who was watching coldly, could see at a glance that these gauze had been used, and some dry blood stains had not been washed away.

"The gauze is gone, bring some of the gauze that is dried outside, wipe the blood and I can take out the lead particles!" The bare-handed officer touched a handful of sweat, casually wiped his clothes and ordered to the assistant next to him.

Gauze? Lead nuggets? Sheffield suddenly remembered that there was a colorful area of fluttering flags just now, where such doctors treated the seriously wounded, why worry about the American soldiers surviving? No wonder old Sheffield said in his letter that not many soldiers actually died on the battlefield, and it turned out that most of them died here.

This was a good time to show brotherhood, brotherhood, and flattery, Sheffield stopped the assistant's route with a look of grief and indignation, and although he couldn't cry, he also howled twice to set off the atmosphere, and dutifully fulfilled his duty as a doctor.

Knowing that Sheffield was the wounded's younger brother, the doctor did not dwell too much and patiently explained, "Your brother needs to stop the bleeding and be treated, and now your behavior is tantamount to delaying his treatment, you should understand how serious it is!" ”

"I remember, before we came, we were afraid of running into Mexican resisters, so we had a backpack of gauze, and I could have my slaves pick it up, just outside the hospital!" Sheffield said eagerly, reflecting the image of a caregiver about his brother's safety.

"Okay, you hurry up!" The doctor looked back at the wounded and said. Of course, Sheffield didn't waste any time, and went out of the room and called Lincoln, who had followed him to Mexico, and said, "You go to the head of Taylor's Manor and bring the backpack with gauze, and ask for the green ......one."

In this environment, Sheffield was rarely in a tense state, Lincoln did not live up to the owner's hopes, and after a while, he took the green backpack over, opened it and saw that it was filled with some blue gauze, Sheffield directly carried the backpack in and said, "Doctor, the gauze we brought is still brand new, I hope it can help......

Some of the blue-colored gauze did not attract the attention of the doctor, while wiping the blood with gauze, while taking out the lead particles from the body of the eldest brother Sheffield, Edmund Sheffield on the shelf flashed a look of pain from time to time, sometimes accompanied by a low roar or two, Sheffield, who was standing on the side, watched the process of treating the wounded in the nineteenth century with a strange blandness.

After less than twenty minutes, with the assistance of his assistant, the doctor, who was already sweating in his head, finally bandaged Sheffield's eldest brother, and said to Sheffield with relief, "There is no problem for the time being, but whether it will be infected depends on whether Edmond's body can resist it...... "Originally, I would not be so tired as I am now, and I would not be so cautious about things that could be easily done, but there was a family member watching from the side, which made the doctor's pressure increase sharply."

"Thank you, doctor!" Sheffield looked deeply at the eldest brother lying there with a strange gaze, and thanked the doctor sincerely, "If my brother can be saved, our family will definitely thank you a lot......"

There will always be a result, Sheffield left here and returned to his father's ward, and began to take care of this old man who worked hard for his ideals to go to the front, during which old Sheffield also woke up, Sheffield told all about his rush and his brother's injury, and it was very necessary to take a truth-telling attitude at this time.

"I hope your brother can recover, he's still so young!" Old Sheffield said weakly.

"Yes, Daddy!" Sheffield peeled the skin flexibly, and then cut the apple into several pieces with a knife, feeding the old man who couldn't lift his eyelids one by one, more than two months have passed since the old Sheffield was injured, on the surface, the old man is fine, but Sheffield has made his own judgment, and the lack of feeling in his legs for so long means that the old Sheffield will not be able to stand up in this life.

Old Sheffield, who had eaten a few apples, shook his head weakly, and no matter how much his son persuaded him, he didn't open his mouth. At this time, the military doctor who took care of the old man pushed the door in and came in with a look of regret, seeing this expression, Sheffield's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he knew that the result had come out.

"Mr. Sheffield, Edmund has unfortunately died!" Old Sheffield remained motionless when he heard the news, and it took a long time for two lines of tears to shed his own son, who died in front of him, and only by experiencing it personally can he understand what it was like.

Sheffield abruptly stood up and rushed out of the room, leaving the medic and old Sheffield speechless. As a father, the elder Sheffield felt unspeakable grief in his heart, and did not say a word for a long time, perhaps regretting why he took his son to war.

"Your brother has been in a coma for the past few days, but it can be seen from his expression that even in a coma, he suffered great pain, and he vomited before he died!" The doctor explained with a heavy heart.

"I'm going back to the United States with my brother's body!" Sheffield said with a serious face, "Our family has paid enough for this war, my father is paralyzed for life, and my brother is dead on the battlefield!" If the military doesn't think that's enough, I'm an adult this year and can join the army at any time......"

Sheffield's sluggish face made the doctor a little speechless, but he could understand the pain in Sheffield's heart, so he didn't argue, and said, "Okay, I'll write an application to the headquarters and let your father take a ship back to China to recuperate, this war has nothing to do with your family......"

"Thank you!" Sheffield's expression remained the same from beginning to end, and this result was exactly what he had been waiting for, returning home with the ashes of his father and eldest brother. As for the cause of Edmund Sheffield's death, no one knows better than him, and that is lead poisoning.
