Chapter 329 You dare to stop her?
Thirty households in Liuyun Village hung up white banners.
Thirty families, thirty young men, were buried together in one funeral procession. The entire village, young and old, saw them off and buried them on the mountain.
In addition, there were fifteen dogs.
Especially Erhu from Xiao Zhang's family.
On the day of the expedition, Li Meng gave Erhu to Liu Jianshan again, hoping that it could protect its former master once more.
Erhu did not disappoint, killing seven or eight people.
Liu Jianshan miraculously survived the battlefield, though he lost a leg.
This is already incredibly fortunate.
Fifteen dogs were also buried, and their graves were erected around the boys.
The government sent people to distribute compensation money to each household and to double-check the list of names.
Although the magistrate did not explicitly mention the matter of enlisting in the military, he said that these families would begin to receive military household benefits from now on.
The dead cannot be brought back to life, so this can be considered a small comfort to the grieving family.
Moreover, their sons, husbands, or brothers died a worthy death.
Liu Jianshan said, "Then Erhu and the others can be considered military dogs too."
The person taking notes paused for a moment, then wrote down, "Fine! I'll write it down."
...
Lu Qingqing and a group of doctors worked tirelessly for seven or eight days at the makeshift rescue station before stabilizing the injuries of all the patients, who now only needed to rest.
Si Xi said, "Auntie, I used to think that being a soldier was something to be envied, and that killing the enemy was a very impressive thing."
I've always dreamed of joining the army, going to the battlefield, and gradually rising to the rank of general.
"But now I realize that where there are soldiers, there is war."
"War means death, many, many people die."
I hate war, and I have absolutely no desire to be a glorious general anymore.
“Yes, war is cruel,” Lu Qingqing said.
"However, where there are people, there will inevitably be conflict, and where there is conflict, there is a need for people like them."
Don't let Qin Wangchuan influence you.
No one really wants to live a life of killing and bloodshed.
True soldiers are those who protect our territory and our people; they are indeed people we should respect.
Qin Wangchuan was nothing more than a selfish and self-serving executioner who used his knife to harm his fellow countrymen!
What kind of soldier is he?!
Si Xi nodded and packed up the small medicine box.
True soldiers are like the Gu family army.
They guarded the border to prevent foreign invasion and rescued the people from suffering.
However, he still prefers being a doctor.
He wanted to save lives, to race against time and bring back those lost.
He wanted to see the trust and hope in the eyes of those who were on the verge of death when they saw a doctor.
He understood what his aunt meant when she said there were too few doctors in the world.
They can't be saved, they can't be saved. I wish I had three heads and six arms.
"Auntie, are we going home?"
"Hmm," Lu Qingqing replied absentmindedly.
The situation in the city has basically stabilized, and Magistrate Xu has issued a notice that people outside can return.
I wonder what Ji Ruyan is busy with now. She hasn't been seen since she appeared that day. She only sent Mo Lang to bring her a box of herb seeds that he had collected.
When Lu Qingqing carried her medicine box and walked down the street with Si Xi, she heard people talking about it:
What corruption in the imperial court? The Gu family army is the only righteous army.
They arrived like divine warriors, and even the birds helped to deal with the villains!
Isn't this divine intervention?
Moreover, after defeating Qin Wangchuan, they did not enter the city to harass the people, but instead camped outside the city.
They went together to deliver food, and the soldiers treated them very well.
If the Gu family army is good, then the former crown prince they support must be a good person and must have been wronged.
The former crown prince's stigma was thus washed away, and he was no longer called a traitor. They hoped that the Gu family army would quickly enter the capital and that the former crown prince would ascend the throne.
See, a golden cup or a silver cup is not as good as the people's word of mouth.
Even if Ji Canglin steals the halo from Ji Ruyan, it won't last long; the illusory bubble will eventually burst.
...
After a war, the atmosphere on the streets was surprisingly good.
There was exceptional harmony among people.
"Can you make this dish cheaper?"
"Yes, of course I can. I'll give you some more; life isn't easy."
The shop assistants no longer get yelled at for knocking over items.
"You didn't hurt your hand, did you? As long as you're not hurt, it's just an inanimate object, it's not as important as a person."
There were also courtesans in brothels who covered their faces while buying cosmetics.
The proprietress smiled and said, "Buy one get one free."
“We’ve all heard that you killed a lot of soldiers and bandits. That military leader was howling in the alley as if his whole family had died.”
You guys are really great.
Come on, take off the mask so I can help you try on the color.
Everyone knows you're all unfortunate people; who didn't go to that place because they couldn't survive...
Even more wonderfully, a magnificent carriage stopped in front of Lu Qingqing.
A well-dressed young man pulled up in his car: "Dr. Lu, where are you going? I'll give you a ride."
I've decided to work as a rickshaw puller for free for 81 days to thank God for giving me a second chance at life.
Lu Qingqing and Sixi smiled and were about to go up to sit when Mo Lang appeared.
"Sixi, you take the car back. The girl and I have other things to do."
Si Xi jumped onto the carriage.
The young master's face stiffened. He glanced at Lu Qingqing with reluctance, then sullenly cracked his riding whip.
However, he quickly cheered up again, beaming and trying to get closer to Sixi.
Mo Lang silently cursed at the carriage.
"What are you doing?" Lu Qingqing asked.
"Oh, girl, don't ride in a carriage you don't know."
“I know that man. He’s the son of the owner of Fulai Restaurant. He’s been bringing a lot of food to the wounded these past few days. He’s a kind-hearted person.”
That's because he has ulterior motives!
Mo Lang glared at the carriage that had long since disappeared into the distance.
“Miss, I’ve found out. The imperial court has sent Yan Mingyuan to attack the Gu family army again. Young Master fought against them before heading here. He’s been traveling day and night without a moment’s rest.”
"Yan Mingyuan?"
Mo Lang gritted his teeth: "Yes, General Yan Mingyuan of Wu'an! That man was a friend of the young master's before, yet he was the first to spread rumors that the Crown Prince was fond of other men's wives... What a despicable villain!"
Lu Qingqing's gaze also turned cold.
His own mother, his best friend, his mentor... these people just think he's easy to bully!
“Miss, I don’t know what’s wrong with the young master. He hasn’t come out of the county office for the past few days, and he hasn’t summoned me either. I’m afraid… he might be sick.”
Or perhaps you could…
“I also think there’s something wrong with him,” Lu Qingqing thought back for a moment.
"Let's go! To the county government!"
"Why!"
The two knew the way well and entered through the back gate of the county government office.
When entering the courtyard, guards stopped us at the gate.
Mo Lang: "Do you know who this is? Miss Lu, Doctor Lu. You can stop me, but do you dare to stop her?"
Lu Qingqing looked at Mo Lang with a puzzled expression: Is this child stupid?
Do they even know who she is?
Guard: "So it's Miss Lu. Please come in!"
I've heard General Gu say that Miss Lu is the future mistress of the house!
When the young master said that no one should disturb him, it probably did not include the mistress.
