"Mother, what are you?".

The old lady smiled freely, "What, only want you to serve the country, enlist in the army and defend the city, and do your part for your mother?" ”。

"But mother, protecting the family and defending the country is a man's true nature, and you are ...... age."

"What's the matter with your age? Yes? You look down on your mother at a young age? At a young age, you can't go on the battlefield, and you don't want Xing Niang to fight everyone in the back? Other workers can't do it with a handful of old bones, but you can carry things, boil some hot water on the city wall, and scald those beasts, right? Let's go, let's die! ”．

"Mother!".

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up, haven't you heard that there is a shortage of people."

The mother and son walked together to the nearest city gate, passing through the Jishitang on the cross street, and in the Jishitang:

"Son, you take all the medicinal herbs in the house stockpile, but all that can be used on the battlefield, count and load the truck, good grandson, go and bring your grandfather and your father's medicine boxes."

"Father?" , the son was surprised.

"Grandfather?" , Sun Tzu was puzzled.

"It's okay, go quickly, don't you hear the shouting outside, is there a shortage of doctors on the city wall? Son, from the first day my father led you to study medicine, do you remember the oath we made with our grandfather? ”。

"Father, son remember.".

"Very good, just remember, hurry up and load all the medicinal materials into the car, don't be stingy, even if you run out of money, don't be afraid, son, Huang Maocheng is here, our Jishitang can be here, our family can be here, do you understand this truth?"

"Father, son knows.".

"Okay, good, good to know, go as soon as you know."

The old doctor of Jishitang is the old doctor who was invited by Xiao Yulou to see Mo Liping, and the medical ethics are naturally needless to say, and the medical skills are also excellent.

After the previous war, Dai Xiuzhen hurriedly found the support doctor, who was also this kind-hearted old man, and the old doctor was free of charge for the treatment of the wounded.

This time it was even more so, for the sake of the doctor's oath, and for the sake of uniting to protect their own homeland, the old doctor did not hesitate to bankrupt his family, pulled the medicine stored at home, took his only son, took the medicine box handed by his grandson, sat on the wheel of the mule cart, and beckoned his son to leave.

Who knew that at the stall of departure, the grandson who will turn fifteen this year on the side also jumped into the car.

"Nonsense, hurry down.". Love

"Grandfather, I don't! I am also a doctor, I can recite the Compendium of Materia Medica of my grandfather, a thousand golden prescriptions, didn't you say before that what your grandson's medical skills lack is just practice and heat? It just so happens that now is a good opportunity, grandfather, let your grandson go with you and your father, I can help. ”。

The old man hadn't spoken yet, but the old lady and daughter-in-law who had chased him out had already cried, "Grandmother's good grandson, come down quickly, your grandfather went with your father, grandmother can't sleep at night, don't think about tea and dinner, good grandson, our family has nine generations of single inheritance, you can't go ahead to take risks anymore, good grandson, you are obedient, you come down." ”。

"Grandmother, I want to follow my grandfather and father together, to do my part to defend the homeland, grandfather often said, if you don't experience wind and rain, you will see a rainbow, grandmother, grandson is going!".

Xu is grandson's sonorous persistence moved the old doctor, or he also knew in his heart that once the city was broken, no one could escape.

Instead of raising grandchildren like sheep, it is better to raise grandchildren like wolves.

Perhaps, let him personally experience the cruelty of war, and experience the ugliness and beauty of human nature, so that his grandson can thrive and grow up.

Thinking about it like this, the old doctor spoke, "Okay, don't cry, we are going to the rear to help the soldiers see a doctor, not going up to the city tower to fight with the Hulu Tartars, it's safe, don't cry, let's just come." As he spoke, he also gave up the position on the wheel to his grandson, "Good grandson get in the car." ”。

"Hey!" , the joy and joy in the little doctor's mouth couldn't be suppressed, and the action of jumping into the car was also unusually brisk.

The three cars that came out of Jishitang, full of medicinal herbs, carrying the three generations of men from Jishitang's ancestors and grandchildren, went to their predetermined target Beicheng, passing by the Ma Ji pork shop at the mouth of the alley.

The owner of Ma Kee Pork Shop is a black butcher, known as Pork Horse, who is on the roof of his newly built blue brick shop for less than half a year.

The passers-by looked puzzled, and the butcher who was picking up the house on the roof couldn't help but wonder.

"Pork horse, I'm afraid you're not crazy, why do you go to your own roof and pick up the house? Don't tell me, you're going to build a new house, but I remember that your front and back yards are all newly built this year, and they are all made of good green bricks and stones! ”。

"What's wrong with the new home, it's a new home, once the city is broken, where will there be a home? Although I don't know two big characters, I also know the truth of serving the country with loyalty. Didn't you hear that even children on the street know that there is a lack of rolling logs and stones on the battlefield ahead? I use all the good materials in this house, and I can't kill those beasts if I pick them down and transport them to the city wall! ”。

The onlookers gave a thumbs up, "Pork Horse, you're this!" Gentlemen admire, but old horse, don't you feel distressed? ”。

The horse butcher was happy, and the action of picking up the house kept stopping, "Hey, it's distressing, why don't you feel distressed, compared with distress, it's more important to live!" If the house is gone, you can continue to build, and if the money is gone, you can continue to earn, to put it mildly, let's also make an effort to survive for ourselves, nothing is more important than living, isn't it? If everyone dies, what if they have money and a house? I don't know if it's cheaper, that bastard goes! Brothers, don't chatter, hurry up and help with a pull! My old horse is still rushing forward to the battlefield to show his hand, not to mention anything else, our pig-killing knife is not vegetarian. ”。

The hearty and free shouting, these familiar or unfamiliar people on the onlookers also started one after another, "Okay, just say this to you, brother, let's help you pick it up!" The man finished shouting, and greeted the twelve or thirteen-year-old eldest who was watching the excitement behind him, "Son, hurry up and go home, let your mother also dedicate all the things that can be used at home, and after reporting the letter, you will come to move bricks, such a big boy, you should be sensible." ”。

"Alas, Dad, I know, I'll go ...... now", the boy who was greeted pulled his legs and ran to his house.

Next to the horse butcher pork shop, separated by a narrow alley, there is a small embroidery shop on the side, the owner of the shop is a widowed mother and daughter, the female owner is only thirty this year, and the girl is only fourteen years old this year.

Listening to the excitement of the butcher's shop next door, shivering, the mother and daughter, who were wandering helplessly, suddenly woke up.
