Before Meng Jiusi could speak, Xiao Jingmo got anxious, grabbed his father's roughened hand, and said loudly: "I want to be with Dad. I am not afraid of hardship."
The sound is loud, but it won't alarm others.
Hearing his brother's words, Xiao Bai also hurriedly said, "And me, I am with Dad too."
Meng Jiusi looked down at his two sons in silence.
In a dilemma.
He wanted Momo Xiaobai to follow him, but when he thought about the unknown future, he hesitated.
"Dad!" Meng Jingmo saw that Meng Jiusi didn't want him to stay, and he showed a tearful expression, saying aggrievedly: "Dad, I don't want to be separated from you. I can help you with the work, please keep me, Dad!"
Xiaobai didn't say anything. He held onto his father's clothes tightly with both hands. He was afraid of being left behind, and his little face was all frowned.
Meng Jiusi's voice was slightly hoarse, "Following me will be hard..."
"I'm not afraid of hardship!" Meng Jingmo said hastily, his eyes pleading, "I can dig wild vegetables, collect firewood, and work. I can do anything. Dad, I really don't want to be separated from you."
"It's really bitter." Meng Jiusi's heart was gripped. Thinking of the scene of being attacked by the crowd, his brows were furrowed and his lips turned pale.
He was afraid that those people would come back, and he was even more afraid that his son would see that scene.
"I'm not afraid." Xiao Jingmo had a firm expression.
Lin Zhao didn't want her fourth brother to stay here forever. He had great medical skills and it would be a waste.
She had already thought of a way out for Meng Jiusi.
——Rely on your ability and find a powerful backer.
That is, the safest military area.
If Fourth Brother develops some medicine that happens to be needed by the army and no one else can make it, I don’t believe that the military district can’t protect Fourth Brother!
"Fourth brother, Momo and Xiaobai are frightened. They can't leave you for a while. Why don't you let them stay here first? You have just been sent here, so there shouldn't be any changes in the short term."
She blinked. "By the time those people remember you, you might have taken off your hat."
Meng Jiusi didn't take it seriously.
It’s not that simple.
only.
He looked at his sister's smiling face and felt his heart burning, which made his eyes sore.
It was not until his son was sent to his side that he realized that family members connected by blood are really different.
He is not alone after all!
Little Jingmo was smart. He saw that his father was about to be convinced by his aunt. He grabbed his hand and shook it, begging, "Dad, I must be with you. If you don't agree..."
He thought about it and showed an expression as if he was about to cry, "If you don't agree, I will cry."
After the child, who had grown up and learned to be strong, finished speaking, his ears turned red.
After saying these words, he still felt it was not enough and looked up at his gentle aunt.
"Auntie said it's okay and let us stay. Don't chase me and my brother away."
Xiaobai even raised his two little hands, rubbed his eyes, and made crying sounds but without shedding tears.
"I want to be with Dad, too. I want to be with Dad, too."
Meng Jiusi also couldn't bear to leave his child, so after hearing what the two brothers said, he finally agreed.
"...Okay, you guys stay here first."
He is no longer alone and has someone to rely on.
Xiao Jingmo and Xiaobai both smiled happily.
Meng Jiusi knew that Lin Shichang had just found a job in the city and had to go to work tomorrow. He didn't want to delay him any longer, so he said, "Brother, Zhaozhao, you have to go to work tomorrow, go back and have a rest."
He wanted to say thank you, but he knew that his elder brother and sister didn't want to hear it, so he swallowed the thank you back.
Lin Zhao still had something to say to her fourth brother.
He turned to look at Lin Shichang, "Big brother, you go back first. I have something to talk to fourth brother about."
Lin Shichang glanced at Lin Zhao, somewhat curious about what she was going to say, but did not ask. He nodded and told Meng Jiusi to take good care of himself and his two nephews, and not to forget to pass on messages to him if there was any need.
Meng Jiusi agreed to all of them.
Little Jingmo waved to his uncle, "Goodbye, uncle."
Xiaobai imitated his brother and said in a soft and sweet voice, "Goodbye, uncle~"
Lin Shichang smiled.
I feel emotional.
As expected of a child from the capital, he is so gentle and polite.
Dad will definitely like it if he sees it.
After watching Lin Shichang leave, Meng Jiusi withdrew his gaze and looked at Lin Zhao with a puzzled look, "Zhao Zhao, what do you want to say?"
Lin Zhao reached into her pocket and pulled out something emerald green.
It looks like...what kind of seeds?
Lin Shichang was even more confused.
——A month later, he learned about the efficacy of this thing. When he thought of this scene again, he felt a wave of indescribable emotions in his heart, including fear and relief.
How could Zhao Zhao put such a precious thing in her pocket casually? What if she lost it?! ?
Lin Zhao spread out her hands, with a smile on her face and a casual tone.
"Fourth brother, this is a magical herb seed I got from an old Taoist priest. The old man was mysterious and said that this herb can cure broken bones and splintered bones. It can cure any bone problem. Please help me plant it."
Meng Jiusi took it and observed it, but couldn't tell what kind of herb seeds it was.
He felt a little ashamed, "I have studied medicine for so many years, but I can't recognize what kind of herbal seeds these are."
Lin Zhao: It's strange that Fourth Brother could recognize it. This thing is...extremely rare. (Another World)
"The old Taoist also said that after the herbs are grown, they will become invisible when exposed to light and appear at night. They are long and thin and emit the light of fireflies. They have no smell." Lin Zhao recalled what she saw when she drew the Iron Bone Herb and introduced it to her fourth brother.
Invisible?
Still glowing?!
Every word felt unfamiliar to Meng Jiusi.
even.
Feels ridiculous.
This is about herbs?
He had never heard of it.
Meng Jiusi wondered if Zhao Zhao had been deceived.
The doting brother couldn't bear to see his sister disappointed, so he agreed without changing his expression, "...I'll try."
Lin Zhao could naturally see the fluctuations in her fourth brother's emotions, from doubt to hesitation to entanglement, and then to resignation.
She stifled a laugh.
"Fourth brother is the best!" Lin Zhao praised, and reminded him again, "You must help me grow it. I spent a dollar. If nothing grows, I will be so upset."
Hearing this, Meng Jiusi almost concluded that Zhao Zhao had been deceived.
He sighed quietly.
"…I'll try my best."
"Fourth brother is so nice." Lin Zhao drank another bowl of magic soup. Thinking of the news of the third brother's injury, her expression became serious. "The army sent a telegram saying that the third brother's leg was injured. I don't know how serious the third brother's injury is, but I think... it's better to prepare early. The third brother likes to be a soldier very much, and I don't want him to be sad. Fourth brother, if there is a glimmer of hope, we should also go all out, right?"
"Besides, if the herbal seeds are real, then those soldiers with injured arms and legs will have more hope, right?"
She knew that the herb seeds were real and if they were grown, it would be a big surprise.
Fourth brother doesn’t know.
It is necessary to strengthen fourth brother's confidence in planting.
Meng Jiusi originally thought that Zhaozhao was just a little girl and was just joking, but he never expected that she would think so much and so deeply.
I felt extremely ashamed immediately.
He underestimated his sister.
The young man became serious and said, "I will do my best."
Lin Zhao narrowed her eyes, "I believe in Fourth Brother."
Meng Jiusi put away the magical grass seeds, glanced at Gu Chenghuai, and said, "Brother-in-law is here, go back and go to bed early when you get home."
"You should go to bed early too." Lin Zhao waved at him, smiled at her two nephews, and ran towards Gu Chenghuai.
Only after he could no longer see his sister and brother-in-law did Meng Jiusi take his two sons back to where they lived.
Xiao Jingmo and Xiao Bai used the moonlight to look around the shabby yard where they were going to live. There was no trace of disgust on their faces, only anticipation.
"Dad, is this where we live?" Xiaobai's soft voice sounded.
"Yes, the conditions are difficult. Are you afraid?" Meng Jiusi looked down at his two sons.
Xiao Jingmo shook his head, "Don't be afraid, I can endure hardships and learn to work."
Xiao Bai: "I can endure hardships and work hard!"
Meng Jiusi's heart softened.
In the room, Mr. Meng had gone to bed early. He vaguely heard a familiar voice. He was stunned for a moment, lifted up the thin blanket with several holes, put on his straw sandals, and walked quickly out the door.
"How did the old man hear the voice of my great-grandson..."
He said loudly.
The moment the words fell, the shabby wooden door opened.
Then I really saw my two great-grandchildren.
"Jing Mo? Guang Bai? It's really you!" The old man's voice sounded surprised and delighted, "How did you get here?"
Old Master Meng was kind to little Jingmo and little Guangbai. Both children kissed him and ran over quickly.
"Great grandfather." Jing Mo called out happily, answering his great-grandfather's words, "My uncle's comrades-in-arms sent us here."
Mr. Meng had good eyesight and saw the marks on his great-grandson's face. He frowned and looked extremely serious, "What happened to your face?"
Jing Mo told his great grandfather about the inhumane things the Yuan family had done.
Old Master Meng was so angry that his face, which looked old due to exercise, suddenly turned ashen.
Yuan family.
Looking at his two great-grandchildren who were suffering, the old man's face was full of distress, "You have suffered."
I was filled with disappointment towards my granddaughter-in-law who couldn't protect her own son.
He used to think that Yuan Qin was a good-natured and hardworking girl, but he didn't know that she couldn't handle anything at all!
Jing Mo didn't want to talk about the past. Anyway, in his little heart, the moment he took his brother and left the capital, he had nothing to do with the Yuan family.
If he could go back again, he would definitely fight back!
"Great Grandpa, I brought the acupuncture needles from our family!" Jing Mo changed the subject.
Mr. Meng was very surprised.
He turned his head suddenly and looked at Meng Jiusi with his old eyes.
Meng Jiusi took out the bag of needles and said, "Here."
Grandpa Meng checked and found that not a single one was missing. He smiled with wrinkles all over his face and looked at his great-grandson with undisguised admiration in his eyes.
"Jing Mo really brought a huge surprise to Grandpa. Good boy, such a good boy. Thank you, Grandpa."
He patted Jing Mo's head, his face full of satisfaction.
"The Meng family's ancestral needle is in my hands again. I was afraid that the Meng family would lose this inheritance. Now... even if I die now, I can still face my ancestors!"
Meng Jiusi didn't want to hear such unlucky words, "Grandpa!"
"Okay, okay, grandpa won't say any more."
After entering the house, Xiaobai was still very energetic, and his black eyes looked around the house.
Earthen walls, wooden beams, a tattered bed, a wooden box with peeling paint, and a clothes rack at the door. Everything was simple. There was a wooden rack against the wall with small winnowing baskets on it containing herbs.
It looks poor, but at least it's not messy.
Meng Jiusi pulled his two sons to sit down, "You sit down first, I'll go boil some water, you two can take a bath later, just make do with it tonight, your aunt will come another day, I'll let her get you an old bed."
Jing Mo said sensibly, "Dad, it's warm now, let's take a cold shower, no need to boil water, it's troublesome."
He heard from his twin brother that people in the village used firewood to boil water and cook, and the firewood had to be collected.
"It's not a big deal. It will be done in a moment." Meng Jiusi said with a smile, "I'll boil some water to make malted milk for you two."
Xiaobai's eyes lit up, "Maltese?"
He used to drink malted milk every day, but he hasn't had a sip since his dad was arrested. His mom gave all his malted milk to his brother Jinbao.
"Yes, malted milk, given to me by your aunt." Meng Jiusi said.
Having said that, he walked out.
"Grandpa, I'm going to help Dad light the fire."
Jing Mo said this and followed closely behind Meng Jiusi.
Xiaobai also ran a few steps, and saw Mr. Meng out of the corner of his eye, so he braked suddenly and retreated.
He accompanied his great grandfather.
Old Master Meng touched his great-grandson's head. Jiusi and the two children were enough to soothe his wounded heart that was hurt by the announcement of severing ties with his own children.
His life can't be considered a failure, right?
Jing Mo didn't know how to make a fire, so Meng Jiusi taught him step by step. After learning, he asked him to add a piece of firewood from time to time, while he found a broken ceramic basin and filled it with soil.
"Dad, what are you going to do?" Jing Mo asked curiously.
With the father around, the thorns on the child's body suddenly disappeared, leaving only the child's unique innocence and cuteness.
This doesn't mean that Jing Mo has forgotten the harm the Yuan family has brought him. He just buried it in his heart. He will still repay an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth if he has the chance!
Meng Jiusi still doesn't know Jing Mo's little tricks.
He replied, “Growing herbs.”
"Hmm?" Jing Mo sounded very confused.
"Just planting one herb?" He looked at his father's clay pot filled with soil with a strange expression.
"right."
Jing Mo had another question, "What are you planting?"
Meng Jiusi never fools his son.
He said patiently, "I don't know if a seed I haven't seen will sprout."
"Dad, let me help you water the plants." Jing Mo took the initiative to find a job.
Meng Jiusi smiled, "For now, just water it once a day."
He had never seen seeds before, and he had no idea what kind of growing environment they needed, so he could only observe and explore.
"good."
Meng Jiusi dug the soil, poured some water into it to make the soil in the pottery pot slightly moist, and buried the magical grass seed in the soil.
Same night.
When Gu's father and mother learned of Meng Jiusi's identity, the old couple were unexpectedly calm.
No wonder…
Father Gu waved his hand casually, "Got it, I'll watch it."
Because Mr. Qiao was familiar with the people at the foot of the mountain, none of them were bad people, so it was okay for him to watch over them secretly. Now that he knew that the third son's wife's brother was among them, he had to take better care of him.
"No wonder my parents-in-law came to the team. It turned out to be because of this." Mother Gu realized later, "It's not easy."
They are also parents, and they know how it feels to have their children stolen. It would drive them crazy.
"Sorry to trouble you, Mom and Dad. You also have to be careful not to get discovered." Gu Chenghuai reminded calmly.
Father Gu was very confident and said the most arrogant words in the calmest tone.
"Don't worry. When your mother and I were digging tunnels to trap the Japanese, you weren't even there yet! Apart from anything else, as long as we avoid other people... it will be no problem at all."
Who among those of his age has not experienced the days of hiding? Who among them has not killed the Japanese?
It's cooked.
