248 Set out again

Sun Sicheng stayed one more day and took Ping'an, Xiaoshan, Ruyi, Qingshi, Wu Jun and others to the backyard of Baicaotang, where they were busy for a whole day. They made a lot of cooling pills and cooling lotion for themselves. In order to save trouble, they put them in a large jar and each person in the group was given a small bottle.

Many old ladies and old men in Qingzhou asked their sons to invite Sun Sicheng to treat them at home. Sun Sicheng also took Ping An to visit several families whose elderly people were too old to come to the hospital.

It was a bit tiring, but it was also rewarding. Such a family was willing to give. The eldest son's medical skills, especially acupuncture, were famous throughout the Great Zhou. We were lucky to be able to invite him to treat my parents. Even Ping An received many purses. Of course, these purses were basically one or two taels, not a lot.

There were even fewer people with Erqiang and Lin Feng who went later, but together they still had about 200 or 300 people, which made Erqiang so happy that he was at a loss.

Ping An basically took him with him every time he went out, and the other person would take turns. He knew in his heart that Ping An was taking care of him. Every time he went out with Ping An, he would receive some reward money, more or less, and the total amount in a year would be quite a lot.

The next morning, Sun Sicheng and his party set out, having already been delayed in Qingzhou City for several days.

As soon as the carriage started moving, Ping'an took off his outer shirt, leaving only a sleeveless cloth vest inside. His pants were made of thin cotton cloth, with thin straps on the waist and cuffs. The trouser legs were loose, and when the cuffs were tied up, it would not hinder him from practicing martial arts.

A few years ago, he asked his mother to make him one like this. Later, Sun Sicheng found that it was very comfortable to wear, so in the past two years, all his trousers have been made like this. He no longer has to wear a wide waistband or an extra long belt.

Sun Sicheng had long been accustomed to his little disciple's behavior. The weather was already very hot early in the morning, Ping'an was still young, and there were no girls among them. So he could take off his clothes as long as he was comfortable. When it was very hot during the day, the child would often take off his outer trousers, leaving only the knee-length shorts inside.

This won't work in two years.

At the end of the convoy, there was a mule cart with two large jars of well water inside. There were also a lot of cloth bags stuffed in the corners, all of which were rice and flour.

To be honest, the journey to Gyeongju is exactly halfway through. In mid-June, the doctors from Yong'an, Gyeongju and Youzhou will go to the border town. A year later, a group of doctors from other prefectures will be replaced.

This is the accurate information I heard in Qingzhou this time. It was not clear at the Yong'an Yamen at that time. It might be half a year, or very likely a year.

As a result, he cannot go back before the New Year. Yesterday, he also wrote a letter to Siyuan, telling him about this and asking him to return to Beijing as early as October as possible and there is no need to wait for him.

Capital city.

Zhang Jinyu saw her husband go to her parents' home happily, but came back with a gloomy face.

She hurriedly asked the maid to take her daughter away: "Husband, what's the matter? Didn't you find my brother?"

Chang Chunfeng sighed and said, "I found it, but you don't need to take the letter and the things with you."

"What's the matter? Has Ping An been to another state with the eldest master recently?"

Chang Chunfeng shook his head: "If he just went to another state, it would be fine. He would be back in a few months at most. The eldest son took him to the northern border and left in late May."

Zhang Jinyu was shocked: "How could the eldest son take him to the northern border? The elders of the Sun family would not agree. We are safe. He is only two months away from turning twelve. How can he be a military doctor at such a young age? Did you hear wrongly?"

"How could I have heard wrongly? When I went to your mother's house, your eldest brother had just returned from the Sun Mansion. He said that the Sun family had just received a letter from Siyuan and the whole family was in a panic. I really don't understand why he, a grown-up, would become a military doctor and take my peace with him."

If possible, he really wanted to bring his son to study at the Imperial Academy. His father-in-law had said that if he could come to the capital safely, he would be willing to teach the child himself. Such a smart child might really be able to win the third place in the imperial examination in the future.

Liu Yuan had already brought back two, but Sun Sicheng took his son to the battlefield.

The Military Medical Department is not on the front line, but it is not far from the battlefield. If it is too far, it will be inconvenient to transport the wounded. If the fighting is fierce, we may have to go to the front line.

This is his only son.

For more than three years, the softest place in Chang Chunfeng's heart has been this child.

Although the child is young, he has a strong character and is not something he can control. What he wants most is to have him by his side to study, but he dare not force him, for fear that if he does, the father-son relationship will be destroyed.

When his daughter was born, he was only disappointed for a short while, but then he was relieved. He already had the best son. A daughter was also good. He could have another son sooner or later.

That time, my eldest brother-in-law went to Yong'an for handling a case. When he came back, he was full of praise, saying that the boy was both intelligent and brave at such a young age. It was a pity that he had to go to study medicine and could not bring him to the capital.

God knows how many nightmares he had during that period. He often woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't fall asleep again. No matter how smart you are, you can't feed a tiger with your own body. Those kidnappers are no worse than tigers.

But my son went there voluntarily, so I can’t blame the eldest son at all.

But this time it is the eldest son's business. When they come back this time, I will have a good talk with him no matter what.

Favor is favor, the two things cannot be confused.

Seeing that her husband didn't say anything, Zhang Jinyu just sat aside quietly. Her husband had a very good personality and was much better than her in every aspect. When she gave birth to Jin'er, she was worried that he didn't like it, but he didn't care at all. He said that the baby was safe and it was good enough that it was a girl.

Ping An, what kind of child are you? Why do you want everyone to praise you?

Sun Mansion.

Sun Yinan comforted his father who was breathing heavily: "Father, don't panic. I will write a letter today and find a way to have the post station take it to the military camp for Sicheng, telling him not to go to the front line and to come back as soon as possible."

Old Master Sun shook his head: "If a man like him goes to the military camp, you can imagine that the general will not let him go easily. Yinan, don't blame me for being so angry. We have a small family, only two precious children, Sicheng and Siyuan. Siyuan has a carefree personality. The children are too young, the oldest is only thirteen and a half years old this year.

I'm afraid. When a war breaks out, military doctors are the targets that the enemy wants to kill the most. Without military doctors, the wounded won't receive timely treatment, and the enemy might even turn the tide.

You can write a letter, but don't scold him. Scolding him is useless. Patiently coax him, appeal to his emotions and reason with him, okay? Siyuan also asked them to come back soon. "

Sun Yinan nodded hurriedly: "Father, you take a break first, I'll go to mother's place, she is also anxious and angry, the eldest daughter-in-law has always been sensible and reasonable, I heard that this time in her own yard, a lot of things were broken."

Old Master Sun sighed, "Her husband went to the battlefield without even saying goodbye, and he didn't even allow her to vent her anger?"

"Father, I didn't say anything bad about her, but Sicheng just gave us a heads up. Will we agree to let him go?"
