Chapter 75: It was as if all my strength had been drained, and my whole heart was empty
The eldest brother actually lives in the heart of a hot-blooded young man like the second brother, but he doesn't show his feelings very much, so most people always think that he is a pragmatic and calm person. I think that when he first joined the army, he must have been full of feelings for serving the country, thinking that as long as he could do his part for the country and the nation, he would not hesitate to spill his blood. But now I really want to ask him, how much blood is left, and how much is left of the former ideal? And what made him unrecognizable was the war itself or the bloodless struggles?
I immediately decided to change my plan to go home immediately, and instead turned around and went to find Uncle Shen. I think that there are many things that I can't figure out even if I break my head, and I can't verify them even if I try my best, maybe Uncle Shen can show me a clear way.
Since the fall of Shanghai, Uncle Shen has opened a small clinic in the concession. For a long time, the operation of the clinic was a bit of a stretch, and Uncle Shen had a headache for this, and he often used his savings to subsidize expenses, so that the clinic could continue to operate dismally. But fortunately, he has excellent medical skills and a great reputation, and soon there is an endless stream of people who come to see a doctor every day. Many of the biggest names on the beach also come here in a row, and such clinics protect their privacy more than public hospitals that are open to the general public.
However, in private, Uncle Shen still retains the love of the hanging pot to help the world. When he encountered those patients who came to him but were shy in their pockets, most of the time he waved his pen and directly waived their accounts. He did good deeds unintentionally, but he didn't expect to advertise himself invisibly, and now Rao is he has poached several old colleagues, and the list of patients is still long.
As Mrs. Song, whom I admire, said on the radio, this war is not without a positive impact on the Chinese. At least for the Chinese, who have been enslaved and bound for hundreds of years, this is an unprecedented national education. The Chinese have finally gradually regained the dignity and spirit of freedom on which their ancestors depended, and are finally willing to leave behind their personal comfort and be ready to sacrifice everything for the country and the nation. at
At this opportunity, an old gentleman who did not want to be named found Uncle Shen. He said he was in his eighties and had few days left. When I was young, I walked through and saw a lot of things, but at this age, I suddenly felt that money was something that was not brought to life and death, and it was better to scatter my money and change my peace of mind. Therefore, he must hand over his savings to Uncle Shen and let him use them for those ordinary people who have been injured by the war and are unable to heal.
Uncle Shen pushed it again and again, but he couldn't give it away, so he gladly accepted his gift. Since then, his clinic has been divided into two parts, one of which is to treat people from war trauma free of charge, and many people come to seek treatment, almost stepping on the threshold of the clinic.
This time I went to see him, and sure enough, he was so busy that he didn't even have time to talk to me. I watched him see each patient with the mentality of learning and observing, and I was left with admiration and admiration in my heart. Professionalism, technology, experience and even medical ethics, he is perfectly impeccable.
I held my cheeks, and suddenly an inexplicable question arose in my mind: Why is the perfect man always single for so many years? What's more, having experienced the war and experiencing so many life and death, shouldn't he grasp the ordinary happiness even more? But this is a question that I dare not ask easily, and as I grew older, I became more and more suspicious that a large part of the reason why he came to this day alone was because of his mother. No matter what kind of story happened in it, why the mother finally chose to share the hardships with the father, but a man is willing to wait for twenty years for a woman, which is the best annotation of love. A few years later, there is a period about waiting and waiting for love has become a model that people are vying to praise, the protagonists of love are the famous Lin Huiyin and Jin Yuelin, but they brought me far less moving and shocking than at this time.
The clinic was originally scheduled to close at five o'clock, but Uncle Shen glanced at the long queue at the door, and finally decided to finish everyone's illness before leaving. So it dragged on for about two hours. By the time it was almost seven o'clock, I was so hungry that my chest was pressed against my back. Uncle Shen looked at me who was dying, and said very boldly, "Ran, you are hungry, right?" In this case, I'll take you to a new French restaurant for a big meal. ”
I was a little embarrassed, so I pretended to refuse him: "Mom said that you always don't charge money for medical treatment, and this clinic has almost always been subsidizing money until now." You can just invite me to eat something, or go to Canglang Pavilion to eat shrimp noodles, which is economical and affordable. ”
When Uncle Shen heard this, he laughed: "Oh, it's terrible, but I grew up and knew that I had to save." He patted his pocket: "Don't worry, I still have the money for food, and I don't have to be so pitiful to cut back on food." ”
Uncle Shen really said what he said, and when he arrived at the restaurant, he ordered my favorite four-course dinner without saying a word: "I know that you are a carnivore, if I don't feed you, I will never be able to raise my head in front of Pepe in the future." He waited until the waiter was far away, and suddenly turned his head to me and asked, "Ranran, I see that you have been absent-minded all afternoon, say, what is the matter with me?" ”
I pouted, this matter is really not very easy to speak: "It's not a big deal, but there is a problem that has bothered me for a long time, and I am afraid that I can only come to you for help." ”
Uncle Shen raised his eyebrows, as if he was interested in my words: "Oh? Tell me what to say, and I'll give you an analysis. ”
There is such a kind of person, as long as you look into his eyes, you will be extremely at ease, you are willing to open your heart and tell him everything in your heart, Uncle Shen undoubtedly belongs to this kind of person. So I told him what Shui Qing had heard and my own speculation, and at the same time solemnly reiterated my concerns: "I told my friends, but they didn't believe it, they even thought that the Japanese would not dare to do such a thing. But if you think about it, they killed hundreds of thousands of people in Nanjing, did they worry about any international public opinion? Have they ever thought that what they did was too cruel? ”
Uncle Shen held his cheeks and thought for a long time, his dark black eyes were like the bottomless sea in the night, glowing with layers of ghostly light: "Technically, your worries are very reasonable. As ambitious as the Japanese are, their methods are as ruthless as they are. However, this is in line with the old saying 'the heart is not enough to swallow the elephant', they have empty ambitions, but after all, they are an island country, and their manpower and resources are limited, so they must come up with some bad tactics to ensure that they win this war. ”
