When the doctor heard what Ge Peng said, he still trusted the simple-minded Ge Peng.
So he nodded and said to Ge Peng, "Alright, if your brother can pull through tonight, he'll live. You just watch closely."
Ge Qiang bravely ran home from the army, showing that his will to survive was still very strong.
A century-old ginseng doesn't come for nothing.
That night, it was ginseng slices and herbal decoctions again.
In addition, Ge Qiang had a strong will to live, and he managed to pull through.
The doctor at the clinic was very responsible. He was worried about the patient, so he went into the ward early in the morning, before dawn, to take Ge Qiang's pulse.
The doctor's face lit up with joy after taking the pulse.
He thought to himself: It really is a century-old ginseng...
Seeing the doctor's happy expression, Ge Peng thought to himself, "My second brother has safely passed the critical period, hasn't he?"
However, he wasn't sure, so he asked the doctor, "Doctor, my second brother...?"
When the doctor at the clinic heard Ge Peng's question, he replied, "He's lucky to have escaped death."
However, he is very weak right now and needs to be nourished. You should go home now and raise some money to buy some tonics.
Upon hearing the doctor's words, Ge Peng grinned so wide that his eyes narrowed into slits.
"Doctor, thank you so much!"
I'll go back and raise the money right away. Could you please look after things for me for a while?
The doctor nodded at Ge Peng's words, "Go ahead, I'll have the apprentice watch over things."
Upon hearing the doctor's words, Ge Peng quickly got up, said goodbye to the doctor, and left the clinic.
Before he entered the county town and went to the clinic, he entrusted the oxcart to the clinic's staff for safekeeping.
At this time, Ge Peng went to the stable of the clinic to retrieve the oxcart.
A short while later, he went to the cowshed and took the oxcart.
He led the ox out of the clinic, got on the oxcart, and headed home.
He used to love cows dearly, but now he has no time to care about them anymore.
He hurriedly drove the oxcart home.
When he arrived home, he saw soldiers in his yard asking about his second brother's situation.
He thought of his second brother, who would rather die than let the army know about his disabled appearance.
Ge Peng quickly stepped forward to greet the soldiers.
He concealed the fact that his second younger brother had already returned home and dealt with the soldiers for a while.
The soldiers listened to Ge Peng's words and were disappointed once again.
However, the soldier gave Ge Peng the ten taels of silver he received as military subsidies, along with the one hundred taels of silver notes that Ouyang Yuqing had given him privately.
When Ge Peng saw the silver that had been reissued to the army, he was overjoyed, thinking that he no longer had to worry about money.
However, he did not accept the silver that Ouyang Yuqing offered him privately.
He thought to himself that since his second brother had gone to the battlefield, he had to leave it to fate; it had nothing to do with the War King.
Seeing that Ge Peng did not accept the silver from the War King, the soldier asked in confusion, "This silver is a subsidy from the War King to your family, why won't you accept it?"
When asked, Ge Peng replied to the soldiers, "How can we accept the King's personal funds?"
My second brother often wrote to me from the army saying that he was always taken care of by the War King.
I am already extremely grateful, and I cannot accept this money out of greed.
Upon hearing Ge Peng's words, the soldier thought to himself, "Ge's family is so kind..."
Regardless of whether it's fair or not, this is a death order from His Highness the War King, and he must hand over the silver to the family.
So he said to Ge Peng, "Brother Ge, you should accept the silver."
Before we arrived, the prince gave a strict order: you had to accept it whether you wanted to or not.
I think……
You should accept it.
Upon hearing this, Ge Peng reluctantly accepted the hundred-tael silver note.
Seeing that Ge Peng had accepted the silver note, and since the man had not been found, the soldier bid farewell to Ge Peng and hurriedly left.
After the soldiers left, Ge Peng went inside and instructed his elderly mother and pregnant wife, "Mother, wife, when the soldiers come in the future, just say that my second brother has not returned, understand?"
