Lu Ming patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Jianxin, don't overthink it. Be prepared for the situation to only get worse. I went to the county town yesterday and found the atmosphere there quite serious. People were hurrying along the streets. You can ask the people who were there yesterday. They're definitely more up-to-date than us."
When Lu Jianxin heard him say that, he immediately sat up and asked, "Did you hear something? Tell me about it."
"I haven't heard anything. I just think the three of them came to our brigade and said something about being relegated. I guess this is just the beginning and there will be more. No one knows what will happen next. All we can do is take care of ourselves and protect ourselves."
Lu Ming continued with his work and answered without raising his head. He couldn't say too much. It was 1965 and it was just the beginning and hadn't fully broken out yet. He could only remind him not to get involved.
This is not something that they, the lower-class people, can decide. The best thing they can do is to take care of themselves and protect themselves.
"Oh my, what's going on? Forget it, this is not something we can control. Just like you said, just take care of yourself."
Lu Jianxin sighed.
"Brother Xin, come and help me. Help me lift this onto that table." Lu Ming said, pointing to the medicine mortar in the corner.
He didn't want to continue this topic. Talking too much would only cause him more trouble. Since he had to go through it all, he might as well make himself happy.
Lu Jianxin directly helped him carry it to the table.
"Oh, it's still quite heavy. What are you doing? Who are you making medicine for?" Lu Jianxin asked curiously when he saw that there were a lot of medicinal materials next to him, and it seemed that he was going to pound medicine.
"Give it to my brother-in-law. Oh, by the way, you probably know him. He knows you. He's also in the army and has the same injuries as you, but his are much more serious than yours. Even if he recovers, there's no chance for him to go back."
Lu Ming answered while wiping the medicine jar.
"Who is it? We haven't heard of anyone in the army around here. What's his name? Didn't your younger sister say that she is in the brigade next to ours? There is no one serving in the army in the brigade next to us!" Lu Jianxin asked immediately.
"They're in the next brigade now. He was originally from the county town, but later on, because of a leg injury, he ran into my sister for various reasons. They're now living at his grandfather's house. His name is Gu Jinyao. Do you know him?"
When Lu Jianxin heard the name, he immediately stood up and said in surprise, "Who are you talking about? Who is your brother-in-law? Gu Jinyao?"
Lu Ming looked up at him and replied, "Yes! Do you know him? But he said he knows you! How about you come with me when I go to check him out the day after tomorrow?"
Lu Jianxin was very excited and said happily, "Do you know what kind of existence Gu Jinyao has in the army? How could he be injured and injured so badly? Didn't they treat him?"
Seeing that he was getting more and more agitated, Lu Ming stopped what he was doing, pulled him to sit down, and said, "Brother Xin, don't get excited. I don't know what you're talking about! But judging by the way he's injured, it's probably not much different from yours, and your treatment methods are similar. I guess you might have been treated by the same people. His injuries haven't healed well in the later stages, so he can't move yet.
That's all I know, if you want to know more you should ask him."
Lu Ming told everyone what he guessed and knew.
Lu Jianxin couldn't believe what he heard, muttering, "How could this happen? This shouldn't happen!"
Then he turned to Lu Ming and told him about Gu Jinyao's deeds. "You know what? Gu Jinyao has always been the one we envied, admired, and wanted to surpass. I didn't expect him to become like this now. It's hard to believe! In our hearts, he is an unbeatable existence!"
From the excitement on Gu Jinyao's face when he first heard about him, Lu Ming knew that he must have been very capable in the army. He just didn't expect him to be praised so highly. However, considering Gu Jinyao's young age, he was convincing and must have certain abilities.
Lu Ming put down his work and grabbed Lu Jianxin, who was getting more and more excited. "Brother Xin, Brother Xin, calm down, calm down. How about I tell you the address and you can go see him tomorrow? I haven't finished preparing the medicine yet, otherwise I can go with you."
Lu Jianxin quickly calmed down and shook his head, saying, "I'll wait for you to go together. You go ahead and do your work. I won't bother you anymore. I'm going back now."
After saying that, he got up and left.
Lu Ming did not try to keep him because he knew that he was very upset after hearing the news and needed time to digest it.
Lu Ming hurried to finish the work in his hands.
…
"Old Four, are you ready?"
At dawn, Lu Jianxin came to urge Lu Ming.
"Here you are, Xin Ge, come in and sit for a while!"
Lu Ming greeted Lu Jianxin while packing his things.
"No, I'll wait outside."
Lu Ming quickened his pace. He had no chance to slack off today. He had to carry this full basket on his back.
The two of them traveled for more than an hour and finally arrived when Lu Ming was about to collapse.
"Oh, we're finally here."
Lu Ming sat down directly at the door of Lu Qianqian and the others.
The early riser heard some noise at the door and peeked out through the crack.
Suddenly he screamed,
"Aunt, my uncle is here, my uncle is here, he fell down, please come quickly!" She said with a crying voice.
Not to mention the worry of Lu Qianqian and Gu Jinyao in the room, even Lu Ming outside the door was a little slow to react.
He stood up and said to Lu Jianxin beside him, "Brother Jianxin, why did I hear someone say that my uncle fell down? Did I hear it wrongly?"
