Guided by Sheng Xiping, Wu Bingzhong and his brother met Liu Changde.
"Uncle, this is my master, Liu Changde. Xuan Yang blood is a family heirloom of my master's wife."
"I didn't tell the truth at my uncle's house that day, mainly because this thing wasn't mine, and I couldn't just reveal it to anyone." Sheng Xiping frankly told the truth.
“My master also participated in the Battle of Siping. He said that he might know Old Wu, which is why he was willing to take out the blood of the sheep to treat Old Wu.”
There are some things that the other person must know.
Even if you offer them a lot of money, they might not be willing to part with something as valuable as sheep's blood, which can be life-saving in critical moments.
The Liu family agreed because of Old Wu's influence.
Sheng Xiping's words were also a direct message to Wu Bingzhong and his brother: be polite to Liu Changde, because he's not after your family's power or money.
"Oh, Brother Liu, you also participated in the Battle of Siping? Then it's quite possible that you knew my father. He's an old friend."
Liu Changde is now in his early sixties, and Wu Bingzhong is in his fifties. Since Sheng Xiping calls Liu Changde "Master," it's not wrong for Wu Bingzhong to call him "Brother."
After several days on the road, Liu Changde's mood has recovered and he is no longer so excited.
"Where is Mr. Wu now? May I see him?"
Liu Changde's sole purpose in coming all the way to the capital was to meet Old Wu and find out if he was the regimental commander who had saved his life back then.
"Sure, sure, of course. Brother Liu, we're here to pick you and Xiping up. Come on, let's go home and talk."
The inn is crowded and noisy, not the place to talk, especially about something as important as sheep's blood. It would be better to go back to the Wu family and discuss it in detail.
And so, accompanied by Sheng Xiping and Liu Yuhe, Liu Changde followed the Wu brothers out, got into a jeep, and headed straight for the Wu family's house.
When we got off the bus at Wu's house, we saw Wu Yuqing pacing back and forth at the gate.
When Wu Yuqing saw her father and uncle get out of the car, she took a few steps forward to speak, but Wu Bingzhong shook his head and stopped her.
"Brother Liu, this is my home. My father is currently ill and is recuperating in the backyard. Please come and sit in the front hall for a while."
Wu Bingzhong was very polite to Liu Changde, and the two walked into the courtyard side by side.
Then, Wu Bingyi gave Wu Yuqing a wink, signaling him to go check on the old man in his room to see if he was awake or asleep.
If he's awake, tell the healthcare provider to move him to the reception room.
If he's asleep, then we'll just have to wait a while, since the old man's health is the most important thing.
Wu Yuqing understood and immediately went to the old man's room in the backyard.
In the front hall, Wu Bingzhong, Liu Changde, and others took their seats as hosts and guests, and the nanny brought out tea. Wu Bingzhong chatted casually with Liu Changde and Sheng Xiping.
Not long after, Wu Yuqing pushed Old Wu in from outside.
The moment Mr. Wu entered the room, Liu Changde excitedly stood up from his chair, took a few steps forward, half-squatted down, and looked up at Mr. Wu.
"Commander, it really is you. It's me, Changde."
Even after so many years, even though they have all grown old, Liu Changde still recognized the person sitting in the wheelchair at a glance.
Old Wu looked at Liu Changde with his cloudy eyes and frowned slightly. "Chang... Changde?"
The old man is getting on in years and has been ill, so his memory is not what it used to be.
Moreover, he has been through too much over the years.
Needless to say, he fought against the Japanese before, and after the Liaoshen Campaign, his troops fought all the way from the Songhua River in the Northeast to the Sino-Vietnamese border in the Southwest.
After countless battles, they liberated hundreds of cities and later crossed the Yalu River to fight.
Countless times amidst gunfire and countless near-death experiences, comrades fell one by one, and countless partings from life and death occurred.
Countless people have come and gone under my command, but how many can I remember?
"It's me, Liu Changde. Back in Siping, if it weren't for you saving me, I would have lost my life long ago."
The scar on your face is from that time, do you remember?
When Liu Changde saw that Old Wu couldn't remember him, he was overcome with sadness.
"That year, I asked you for leave to go home to visit my family, but my mother left me at home and I was unable to return to the unit. Commander, I'm sorry."
"Changde? Little, Little Dezi?"
It's unclear which of Liu Changde's words triggered Old Wu's memory, but a glimmer of clarity seemed to appear in Old Wu's cloudy eyes as he murmured to himself.
"Yes, yes, it's me, Xiao Dezi. Commander, it's me, Xiao Dezi."
Liu Changde joined the army at the age of eighteen. He wasn't very old, so the veterans in the army liked to call him Xiao Dezi.
"Little, Little Dezi, it's you. I'm old, I'm all old."
Suddenly, Old Wu became excited, gripped Liu Changde's hand tightly with his left hand, and his eyes seemed to glisten with tears.
"Yes, I was only in my twenties back then. More than thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye, and I'm all old now."
Liu Changde looked up at Old Wu, his eyes brimming with tears. "I never imagined that I would see the regimental commander again in my lifetime."
"Get up, get up, speak properly." Old Wu smiled with satisfaction and gestured for Liu Changde to stand up.
Liu Changde got up from the ground, then turned to Liu Yuhe and said, "Second brother, hurry up and take the things out."
They came to deliver sheep's blood to Old Wu; they can't just get caught up in reminiscing and forget their important business.
Upon hearing this, Liu Yuhe nodded and immediately took out a cloth bag from his bag. Inside the cloth bag was the porcelain bottle.
Liu Yuhe stepped forward and handed the porcelain bottle to Wu Bingzhong.
