218 Sun Hongyu left a letter
Five days later, Sun Sicheng and his party returned to Yong'an Prefecture.
Sun Hongyu had been gone for ten days. He left a letter for Sun Sicheng, in which he revealed that he had learned from people in the military that the situation was more serious than they had imagined.
The letter asked him to take good care of Changsheng's family. Apart from that, he had nothing else to worry about.
Furthermore, if possible, he still hoped that Sun Sicheng would go to the border and stay there for a few months. This would save a lot of lives and the military doctors could also learn something from him.
"Young Master, there's a letter from the master." Old Ge came over in a hurry. "Young Master, Magistrate Bai brought people from the military yesterday. It seems they are here to discuss the medicinal materials."
When Sun Sicheng took the letter and read it, his father told him that the Great Zhou had really encountered a disaster this time. It was heard that a big incident had occurred in the southwest. The general was injured and two important lieutenants lost their lives. The specific situation was unknown, but the court had already sent officials and imperial doctors to the scene.
The fighting in the North has been fierce, and I heard that the Northwest is also ready to make a move. This may be the most difficult time for the Three Kingdoms in more than a decade.
Sun Sicheng frowned. His father hoped that he would take as much property as he could, make arrangements for those that he could not take, and keep as much medicinal materials as possible in his hands. Except for food, the most valuable thing during a disaster is medicine.
His father also hoped that he would bring the second son's family back to the capital so that the family could feel at ease together.
How is this possible?
He was definitely going to the border. In addition to practicing his medical skills, he had a secret in his heart that no one knew about. Since he was a teenager, he had been thinking that one day he would be able to help on the battlefield.
This is his dream as a man. He has never thought of becoming an official, not even a single thought. The only thing that makes him feel embarrassed is Ping An. He is reluctant to take Ping An to suffer.
But Ping An held the surgical knife as if he was holding dishes and chopsticks, easily and naturally. He was his master, and he had to admit that the apprentice held the knife more steadily, accurately, and decisively than him.
He was born to do this job.
If the master and the apprentice go together, the effect will be much better than if he goes alone.
The family could keep it a secret, Chang Chunfeng could keep it a secret, but how could Wan Changsheng and his wife tell them? Should they keep it a secret too?
This is not his style.
After being away from home for half a month, Ping An returned home with Er Qiang and others at dusk. Wan Changsheng and his wife were very happy.
"Ping'an, your uncle has been gone for ten days. Before he left, he regretted not seeing you." Wan Changsheng had a look of regret on his face. He truly regarded Military Doctor Sun as his own elder, but when the war came and the general called for him, Uncle Sun still left. After this departure, he didn't know how many years it would take for him to return home.
"Dad, Mom, in less than two years, Grandpa Sun will be home. Where's Xi'er? Why can't I see her?"
Mei Niang's eyes were glued to her son. When she heard her son's question, she burst into laughter: "Your sister is very cunning. She is only three years old, but now she is angry. She has cried several times since you left for so many days."
Wan Changsheng quietly pointed at the door.
Ping An was happy and walked towards the east room: "Hey, why can't I find Xi'er? I brought so many delicious food, it seems I can only give them to others. "
A little head half appeared: "You are not my good brother anymore, I don't want your gift."
Ping An pretended to be surprised: "Oh, Xi'er is here. I miss her every day and bought her many beautiful pearl flowers. I wear one a day and change them every day."
The little girl shyly exposed her whole body and said, "Do you think you will run away again in the future? If you don't run away, I won't be angry with you. I'm not angry for the pearl flower."
Ping An was so happy: "Xi'er, come on, there are all beautiful and delicious food on the table in the living room, and they are all yours. Brother is so tired and hungry."
"Are you hungry? Stop teasing your sister. Sit down and take a rest. I'll ask Erqiang and the others to come over for dinner."
When Mei Niang heard that her son was hungry, she immediately felt distressed. He had been sleeping in the wind and rain outside, and yet he was still thinking about comforting his sister when he got home.
Erqiang and others went to the main courtyard to pack up their things.
Ping An stopped entertaining his sister who was happily holding the gift and looking at it. He was really tired and a little annoyed.
The master means to leave in a few days, but what about my parents at home?
He wanted to go out and experience the baptism of war. There were still three years before the college entrance examination, and he just wanted to pass the exam to become a scholar. He really didn't care about the third place in the imperial examination, the top three places in the imperial examination, or the third place in the imperial examination. After all, he had never thought of becoming an official.
"Ping An, come with me."
"Dad, is there something wrong?" Ping'an followed him to the stone bench in the corner of the yard.
Wan Changsheng sat down and said, "Ping An, please sit down and tell me honestly, do you want to go to the border town with your master?"
"Dad, how did you know? Did your uncle tell you?"
"Don't worry about how I know this, just tell me whether it is true or not, right?"
Ping An sat down and said, "Dad, the master does want to go, and the general has also invited him. You know, most of the injuries on the battlefield are wounds. I have a good talent in this area. The master wants to take me with him, but I haven't made up my mind yet, and I don't want to worry my parents."
Wan Changsheng looked at him and said, "Ping An, I don't care if you say that dad is selfish. You are the only son of dad and mom, and you are your sister's future support. You can't get into trouble. I won't let you go. You can't even say it in front of your mom. I think you know that in your mom's heart, no one can surpass you."
Ping An was speechless for a moment.
It is true that his parents may not necessarily have another son in this lifetime, but people at that time attach great importance to their sons. His mother is a typical example. It may be because of the past few years, but even if she remarries, her son is still the first in her heart, no one else can change that.
"Dad, please don't say anything. Listen to me. If things get really bad in the Southwest and North, there will definitely be military service. There's no guarantee that you'll have to go to the battlefield a second time. Your son doesn't want you to go. You've already been there for seven years, which is enough.
I am different. I follow my master. His life is valuable and he will never go to the front line. I can also practice my medical skills well.
Don't forget, I know Kung Fu, and I'm pretty good at it. If my cousin Daqiang and his friends really have to go to the battlefield someday, I can still help them. Most of the people in our area are going to the North."
Wan Changsheng shook his head repeatedly: "No, even if I go, I can't let you go. You are my son, you have to listen to me."
The lives of relatives are important, but not as important as those of sons. They are the ones who will break pots for them in the future, and their future children will be their grandchildren.
"If I don't give it to you, then I won't give it to you, hahaha."
The two men watched the little girl running towards them like a butterfly, and Erqiang chased after her with a laugh.
Wan Changsheng sighed. Why should there be a war on such a good day?
"Go eat, you should rest early today." His steps became heavy. What if the eldest son insisted on taking his son with him? Life in the border town was very hard, especially in the war.
