Chapter 261: The Father's Fault
As soon as the words came out, Doctor Liu was stunned.
He kept talking and blurted out what was in his heart!
Doctor Liu's eyelids trembled, and he laughed dryly, "Girl, look at this..."
Song Yanxi sighed softly and asked quietly, "Old Liu just said they used me as a raft, what about you?"
Doctor Liu's eyes widened and he suddenly became anxious.
He hurriedly said, "Girl, you can't think of me like that. I was coerced by them."
As he spoke, he pointed at Qingshan and began to speak, "This young man said that I share the same surname as him, Liu, and that we were from the same family eight hundred years ago. I simply couldn't bear it, so I agreed to help him."
Qingshan opened his mouth to speak, and then he heard Doctor Liu ask, "Didn't you say that?"
He nodded. "That's what I said, but..."
"You just have to admit it."
Doctor Liu interrupted him, the last trace of guilt in his eyes disappearing, and he said righteously: "What did I just say?"
He was even a little disappointed, as if he had really been wronged.
Song Yanxi watched from the side, not knowing whether to laugh or cry for a moment.
She had previously only known that Doctor Liu had a strange temper, was tough on the outside but soft on the inside, but she had never expected that he could act.
The acting is... so realistic.
It's truly breathtaking.
Noticing her look, Doctor Liu coughed lightly, glared at Qingshan, and said, "Why don't you take the things out quickly? Are you waiting for me to lose my temper?"
Frightened by his serious tone, Tian Shitou tugged at Qingshan's sleeve and whispered, "Brother Qingshan, do you want to take it or not?"
Now that he asked, I had to take it even if I didn't want to.
Qingshan gritted his teeth and said with determination: "Take it!"
"Qingshan!" The other three spoke in unison, their faces full of fear.
They are not like Liu Qingshan, whose mother died early and whose father is gone too. He has no family and has no worries. He can risk his life without caring about anything.
When people reach middle age, who doesn’t have elderly parents and young children to take care of?
Doctor Liu got angry as soon as he saw this and couldn't help asking, "If you are so scared and worried, why did you get involved in this?
What's going on? Are you all just bored and have nothing to do?"
He pointed at Tian Lao Er and said, "You speak first."
Tian Lao Er said honestly: "Brother Erniu died unjustly. His son is still young. Someone must seek justice for him and give an explanation to the orphan and his widow."
Tian Shitou also said: "Uncle Erniu is a good man. If he hadn't risked his life to save my father on the battlefield, our family would have been broken up long ago."
"My mother and brother died of tuberculosis a few years ago. I can't let my father die in obscurity."
"My nephew is only sixteen and hasn't married yet..."
By the time they finished saying what they had been holding back in their hearts, they were already in tears.
The uncle and nephew of the Tian family cried the most sadly, especially when they mentioned Zhuangzhuang's mother's illness. They felt even more upset and hugged each other with tears.
Tian Lao Er choked up and said, "Sister Chunhua is such a good person, and she is about to die."
"That child from Erniu's family is only seven or eight years old. Poor thing. If he loses his father and then his mother, how will he live in the future?"
Tian Shitou said with tears in his eyes: "Princess, you must save Aunt Chunhua."
He thought of something and started unbuttoning his clothes.
Song Yanxi quickly turned around and heard Doctor Liu teasing, "The princess hasn't agreed to save anyone yet. It's a little too early for you to pledge your love to her."
"Oh... no..." Tian Shitou's face turned red and he stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence.
Because of this joke, the atmosphere in the tent instantly became a lot more relaxed.
Several people hurriedly got up from the ground, and together they pulled at Tian Shitou's clothes, and rescued the booklet that was wrapped in oil paper and tied up.
Doctor Liu tutted his words and said, "No wonder they didn't find it. It's wrapped so thickly, how can anyone tell whether it's a booklet or meat?"
Tian Shitou's face turned even redder instantly, and he wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
Tian Laoer originally wanted to say something, but when he thought of Doctor Liu's mouth, he shut up decisively.
The child is still young, so just say a few words. It won’t make him lose weight anyway.
After Tian Shitou put on his clothes, Doctor Liu let Song Yanxi turn around.
Taking the booklet that still retained body temperature, Song Yanxi felt mixed emotions.
Three hundred living soldiers, now only have their cold names left, lying quietly on the paper, not even enough to fill this small booklet.
They could have achieved great things while they were alive, or at least, they should have received the glory they deserved after their death, been rewarded according to their merits, and been remembered by the people of Da'an.
It is not like now, where no one can see the person alive or the body after death, and even relatives and friends who want to pay tribute can only express their longing to the cenotaph.
Lin Tingfeng is such a cruel person!
It's totally inhumane.
Song Yanxi turned a page. The first name in the first row was Li Erniu, followed by Liu Tieshuan...
There are six sheets and twelve pages, and one page can only accommodate ten people at most, so the total number of people recorded is no more than a hundred.
Liu Qingshan said with difficulty, "The higher-ups have said that no one is allowed to discuss this matter. Except for those who, like us, cannot bear the pain of their loved ones suffering, others would not dare to say anything even if they knew."
He didn't cry or complain on purpose, but Song Yanxi could easily understand how difficult it would be for a few unauthorized soldiers to investigate the matter without alerting others.
It's great that they can do this.
Liu Qingshan and others originally thought that Song Yanxi would dislike them for being busy for several months but not even recording half of the names, which was really incompetent.
When I heard her say that, I didn't react for a moment.
It was Tian Shitou, who was always regarded as stupid, who reacted the fastest and blurted out, "Old Liu really didn't lie to us. The princess is different from the princess."
Doctor Liu's eyes widened, and he said hurriedly, "You kid, don't talk nonsense. When did I ever say that?"
Tian Shitou was confused when he heard this and thought for a moment that he had remembered it wrong.
But after thinking it over again, he said with a firm look in his eyes: "You said it."
Tian Laoer reached out to pull him, and said angrily, "Why are you so stubborn, kid?
If Mr. Liu says he didn't say it, then he definitely didn't say it. How could he possibly lie to you?"
Tian Shitou looked at Song Yanxi, pursed his lips and said, "The princess definitely doesn't like people lying to her."
Everyone was stunned.
Doctor Liu smacked his lips and said meaningfully, "Shitou is truly a wise boy who appears foolish."
As if he didn't hear the sarcasm in his words, Tian Shitou scratched his head and said with a simple smile, "Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Liu."
"You..." Military Doctor Liu choked and almost fell over in anger.
But when he looked at Tian Shitou, who had a simple and honest face and was expressing his gratitude sincerely, he just couldn't say anything.
This kid couldn't even hear that he was being scolded on purpose, so how could he have the brain to think of irony?
But if he didn't let out this breath, he would feel uncomfortable all over and his chest would be blocked.
Doctor Liu looked left and right, pointed at Tian Lao Er and said, "You, come out with me for a moment. I have something to tell you."
It is said that if a child is not taught, it is the father's fault.
Since his father is not around, it is natural for him, as his uncle, to take over!
Tian Laoer responded and was about to go out.
Liu Qingshan tugged at his sleeve, signaling him not to go out, but he heard him ask, "Qingshan, why are you pulling me? Didn't you hear Mr. Liu tell me to go out?"
