There was no response from the house, but there was a noise coming from a mud house next door.
"Is Xiaoyun back?"
I saw a thin man in clothes hurried out of the house.
"Second...Second Uncle!"
From the original owner's memory, Zhao Muyun recognized that this person was his second uncle Zhao Wen.
My second uncle is a failed scholar and has never been married. He makes a living by doing farm work and teaching in a village private school.
The letter to Zhao Muyun was written by him.
"Military discipline is strict. I thought you couldn't ask for leave! How are you? Are you used to being at the border? Have you been bullied?"
Seeing Zhao Muyun standing in front of him, Zhao Wen was surprised and excited, and asked repeatedly.
"Uncle, let's not talk about this for now. Is my brother okay? How is my mother? Why is there no response from the room?"
Zhao Muyun interrupted Zhao Wen and asked anxiously.
"Your brother has been lying in bed for several days without even eating a single grain of rice. Your mother should still be asleep. Let's go inside and check on her now."
After Zhao Wen finished speaking, he hurried into the house with Zhao Muyun.
The mud house was filled with a pungent smell of herbs.
Zhao Muyun's face was gloomy and he frowned as he followed Zhao Wenxian to his mother's room.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, are you awake? Xiaoyun is back!" Zhao Wen called softly.
"It's Second Uncle! What... Xiaoyun is back!"
Then a weak yet familiar voice was heard in the room.
Zhao Muyun suddenly felt a blockage in his heart, tears welling up in his eyes. He pushed open the door and rushed in: "Mom, I'm back!"
A woman was struggling to get up from the bed, and Zhao Muyun hurried over to support her.
Zhao Wen also lit the oil lamp, and the dim room became a little brighter.
At this moment, Zhao Muyun also saw clearly the mother of the original owner's body.
His hair was messy, his temples were gray, and his face was haggard. He was not even forty years old, but his forehead was full of wrinkles.
He thought of his parents in his previous life.
When the urn covered with the bright red national flag and the honor plaque of the first-class meritorious family were sent home by their comrades, would they just want to see Zhao Muyun standing in front of them in good health?
Mom and Dad, I couldn’t live to fulfill my filial duty to you in my last life!
As for my relatives in this life, I will definitely protect them well.
I think you will agree.
Just like what you told me when you sent me to join the army: From now on, you belong to the country, and it is your responsibility to protect the people!
Zhao Muyun's heart ached and tears flowed silently.
When Zhao's mother confirmed that the person in front of her was her son, her dazed eyes suddenly became bright and kind.
"Xiao Yun, did your second uncle write to you? You're a soldier at the border, so you can't just come back. Are you a deserter..."
Mother Zhao seemed to have thought of something and suddenly became nervous. "While it's still dark, hurry back to the border! Your brother is fine. Your mother and second uncle are here."
"mother!"
Zhao Muyun cried out with tears in her eyes, "Such a big thing has happened at home, and you don't want me to know! If I don't come back, I'm afraid I will never see you again!"
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Mother Zhao scolded lovingly, "Mom, you can still hold on. Xiaoyun, you rushed back overnight, didn't you? Have you eaten? I'll get up now and make you something to eat!"
After Zhao's mother finished speaking, she got up, dressed and got out of bed.
"Mom, I'm not hungry. You lie down first. My second uncle and I will go check on my eldest brother!"
Zhao Muyun persuaded Zhao's mother to stay.
When we reached the other end of the earthen house, the smell of herbs was even stronger.
Zhao Wen came in holding the oil lamp.
Zhao Muyun lifted the quilt and found that Zhao Pu was so thin that his bones were visible and he looked like a nobody.
I called out a few times, but there was no response. I reached out and heard someone breathing faintly.
After checking, Zhao Muyun found that Zhao Pu had several broken ribs and fractures in his left hand and right foot.
The most serious lesion is the spleen, where there is a large bruise.
It looked like he was beaten again after suffering a huge collision.
Who would use such harsh force? This is an attempt to take someone's life!
Zhao Muyun's face was as cold as frost, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent:
"Second uncle, tell me, what happened? Who beat my brother like this?"
Zhao Wen immediately recalled:
"Three days ago, your brother went to the woods outside the village to collect some firewood early in the morning as usual, but he didn't return until noon."
"Your mother and I rushed to look for him and found your brother unconscious in the woods, covered in blood. There were about ten copper coins beside him."
"We hurriedly carried your brother back and asked a doctor to see him."
"The doctor said your brother's injuries were so severe that he couldn't be saved and could only wait for death. He then prescribed some medicine and left!"
Zhao Muyun said coldly: "This bastard quack is misleading people. Just because he can't save the life doesn't mean others can't!"
He carefully examined Zhao Pu's injuries.
As a special forces soldier in the previous life, it was necessary to master both practical and comprehensive medical knowledge systems.
Quick response first aid skills, the ability to adapt to extremely harsh environments, and field rescue skills are even more essential.
Zhao Pu's injuries were very serious, and his coma affected his eating, which led to him being so weak.
But it's not like the doctor said, that I can only wait to die.
"Second Uncle, please help me boil some hot water!"
Zhao Muyun gave Zhao Wen an instruction, then lifted the quilt and treated Zhao Pu's broken bones first.
"Xiao Yun, you...don't do anything stupid!"
In Zhao Wen's impression, Zhao Muyun didn't know how to cure illnesses. If he continued to do this, he might kill Zhao Pu on the spot!
"Uncle, don't worry. I met an old soldier in the army who knows medicine. He taught me some things. Big brother can survive. You can go quickly!"
