Xie Mingzhu smiled slightly: "We didn't just go up by ourselves, but the guards followed." ”

Also, there's a garrison there.

Huo Xuan let out a breath and said a little anxiously: "I'm scared every day I stay here, why don't we go back earlier?" ”

He doesn't care about himself, but every day Xie Mingzhu is here, he is restless for a day.

I just wish she could go back sooner.

Xie Mingzhu looked at him fixedly, and said loudly: "This is not an ordinary place, it is not that I can come and leave if I want to, I must complete my task well when I come here, and wait for the notice from above, I will go back when I can go back." ”

Huo Xuan opened his mouth, originally wanting to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed it again, and didn't say anything.

He just sighed slightly and nodded slightly.

It was fast approaching the middle of the year.

The large-scale war is also coming to an end.

Xie Mingzhu also received the news and prepared to go back with the propaganda team.

When Huo Xuan got the news, he was finally relieved.

The night before leaving, Xie Mingzhu went to find Xu Yinyin.

Xu Yinyin will be stationed here with her and will not go back for the time being.

Xie Mingzhu glanced at her ears, and then asked out loud: "Your ears, don't you go back and take a look?" ”

Her ears have not healed, and if she continues in this environment, Xie Mingzhu is not sure if her ear disease will worsen.

Xu Yinyin chuckled: "My ears are fine." ”

Hearing her say this, Xie Mingzhu didn't say anything more.

She gave Xu Yinyin everything she couldn't bring back, and left her home address, saying that when she returned to Shencheng, she must find herself, and the two would meet together in the future.

Xu Yinyin smiled and agreed.

That night, trucks began to transport bodies down the battlefield.

All night long, the sound of car engines lingered in my ears.

Xie Mingzhu knew what was being transported in those cars, she didn't dare to go out to look, so she only shrank in her room and hid in the dark.

In the dark, she soon burst into tears.

A moment of silence for the souls of those who have passed away.

The next day, Xie Mingzhu got on the train back.

Watching the scenes in front of him fall backwards one by one, Xie Mingzhu's thoughts were quite complicated.

Huo Xuan was also on the same train and quickly came over.

Last time, his hair was burned by artillery fire, and now he has a short hair that fits his scalp, and the whole person looks very energetic.

Seeing Xie Mingzhu looking out of the window, he said softly: "Professional things are still left to professional people." ”

Xie Mingzhu came back to his senses and nodded lightly.

The next afternoon, the two returned to Shencheng.

I didn't know they would come back, so no one came to pick them up.

When they got out of the station, they prepared to take the train back by themselves.

As soon as I got out of the station, I was about to go to the nearby bus stop to take the bus, but I was hit by a woman carrying a large bag and holding a child.

Seeing that the other party was a woman with a child, Xie Mingzhu only thought that she didn't see it, so she didn't care, and reached out to help the other party up.

"Pearl?"

The woman who was hit called out loudly, her voice revealing a hint of excitement, "Xie Mingzhu!" ”

Xie Mingzhu looked up, and found that the person standing in front of him was Wu Baozhen, whom he hadn't seen for nearly a year.

Wu Baozhen is a local girl who Xie Mingzhu used to have a good relationship with the countryside, and had two children after marrying Zhang Feiang, an educated youth, but was abandoned.

"Wu Baozhen? When did you come to Shencheng? ”

A hint of joy flashed on Xie Mingzhu's face.

took a closer look, but saw that Wu Baozhen was only holding her youngest son in her hands, but her eldest daughter was nowhere to be seen.

Both of them, mother and son, looked like dusty people, obviously just arrived in Shencheng.

"Just arrived in Shencheng?" Xie Mingzhu asked again.

Wu Baozhen nodded lightly, and her expression was also very excited: "I didn't expect to meet you as soon as I got out of the train station, this is really fate!" ”

Xie Mingzhu's gaze turned to the son she was holding in her arms again.

Diyo's eyes looked at Xie Mingzhu without blinking, and his big eyes were full of curiosity.

"Why don't you see the big girl?" Xie Mingzhu asked.

Hearing Xie Mingzhu talk about her eldest daughter, the smile on Wu Baozhen's face instantly retracted.

When Xie Mingzhu saw her like this, he knew that something was probably going on.

She turned her head to look at Huo Xuan, and a look of not being good flashed on both of their faces.

Wu Baozhen sighed twice, opened her mouth, and finally spoke: "The eldest girl is sick, and the family really has no money to treat her, I came to find her father to see if I can think of a way......

Xie Mingzhu frowned and asked urgently, "Sick?" What disease? ”

As soon as she asked this, Wu Baozhen's tears couldn't help but flow.

However, she couldn't say anything: "I don't understand what the doctor said, I just said ......"

When he said this, he choked up and couldn't speak.

The word "terminal illness" is on my lips, but I can't say anything.

Asking a mother to say what kind of terminal illness her child has that cannot be cured is nothing more than heart-wrenching.

"She used to say that she had a stomachache, I just thought it was ascariasis, and I didn't take it to heart, if I had known earlier, I would have taken her to the doctor earlier!" Wu Baozhen said with a look of remorse.

Children in the countryside have ascariasis to a greater or lesser extent, which is not a serious disease, but it will make people have some abdominal pain, paleness, and malnutrition. So Wu Baozhen didn't take it to heart, and only went to get the pagoda candy back for the child to eat.

"The doctor said that the cure is not good, even if it is cured, it will cost a lot of money, and my parents also said that it is just a female doll, and if it is gone, it will be gone, what to do with that unjust money?"

Speaking of this, Wu Baozhen reached out and grabbed the clothes in his heart, and said in pain, "But that is the child I gave birth to in October, I can't just watch her die in front of me, I still have to try it if I have a chance!" ”

Xie Mingzhu looked at Wu Baozhen, who was crying heartbreakingly, and her mood was a little complicated.

At the same time, there is some worry.

Isn't a girl's life a fate? What do you mean by "female doll is gone"?

She took a step forward, reached out and gently patted Wu Baozhen's shoulder, and comforted softly: "Don't worry too much, there is always a way to deal with it, and I will do my best to help you!" ”

Wu Baozhen pulled her lips and wiped her tears, "Thank you!" ”

"You've just arrived here, and you haven't found a place to stay yet, have you?" Xie Mingzhu looked at the mother and son.

Wu Baozhen shook his head: "I haven't found a place to live yet." ”

"Do you know where Zhang Feiang is?" Xie Mingzhu asked, "If you don't know his unit, Shencheng is so big, it's not easy to find someone." ”

Zhang Feiang is Wu Baozhen's husband.
