Chapter 18
"Take off your clothes and look at the wound!" Mrs. Zhang said.

Ren Ning nodded, and quickly took off his clothes, revealing his scarred body.

Yun Chui has always paid attention to whether men and women give or take each other.

But Mrs. Zhang did not back down.

She looked at the young man in front of her quietly, with sadness in her eyes.

Back then her husband was about the same age as Ren Ning, so he became one of Yunchui's scouts.

Because her husband is a member of the military and there are no other relatives in her hometown, Mrs. Zhang simply moved to Yanzhen Fortress with her husband.

It's just that the fortress does not allow civilians to live in principle.Mrs. Zhang and the common people who came to join the army with their husbands or sons lived in nearby villages.

The vicinity of the fortress is hot and dry, often filled with wind and sand, and from time to time there will be cross-border invasion by Xiliang people, which is not suitable for ordinary people to live in.
However, Mrs. Zhang had a very happy life.

She is also planning to work hard to give birth to a son and a half for her husband.

The son will continue to serve in the army and make great achievements; the daughter will bring her back to her hometown to find a good marriage when she grows up...

It's just that one day ten years ago, before she was pregnant with a child, she got a bad news instead.

When her husband was spying on the situation on the Xiliang prairie, he ran into a Xiliang man unexpectedly, and finally returned with serious injuries.

When she rushed to the fortress, she saw the tattered bodies of a dozen scouts, including her husband.In the end, none of the boys survived due to lack of medical treatment and excessive blood loss.

After burying her husband well, Mrs. Zhang has aged a lot.

Instead of taking care of the crops in the field, she rushed to Yanfeng Fortress to apply to be a military doctor.

She wants to use her own hands to help other mothers, wives or daughters to save their sons, husbands or fathers, and leave them a hope.

It's just that in this age of women's humbleness, her behavior was extremely outrageous, so she was naturally rejected directly, and even Mrs. Zhang couldn't even enter the gate of the fortress.

Yet she did not give up.

Mrs. Zhang knelt for half a month outside the fortress, and finally even the general guarding the fortress was alarmed.

So she was allowed to enter the fortress to work as an assistant to other military doctors.Today, ten years later, he has become an official military doctor with a military trophy.

After carefully checking Ren Ning's body, Mrs. Zhang changed his medicine.

"There are many wounds, and the hidden injuries are serious; within three months, you can't move a lot, so you should rest well."

"Thank you!" Ren Ning nodded in understanding.

After all, she was a woman who grew up under the feudal ethics. Although Mrs. Zhang dared to look directly at the man's body, she could still speak simply to avoid suspicion.

Even though she is almost old enough to be Ren Ning's henchman.

Ren Ning knew this well and was not surprised.

Seeing the medicine Mrs. Zhang took from her apprentice, he frowned.

Green value 60!

The predecessor always felt that the medicinal materials stored in the fortress gathered the essence of the entire Yunchui doctor, and it was definitely a good medicine for healing.

Now Ren Ning can see nothing more than that, it is not as good as the life-seeking grass that Zhuifeng found.

"Miss Zhang, have you ever seen a kind of herb that grows so tall, with four-cornered diamond-shaped leaves, dark green and grayish in color; there is a light blue trace on the main stem..."

Ren Ning described the appearance of the life-seeking grass in detail.It took him a while to finish talking.

"This kind of herbal medicine is amazing in healing wounds and stopping bleeding. You saw the new wound on the waist, and the bones were visible at the time. However, as soon as the herbal medicine pounced on it, the bleeding almost stopped. It will almost heal after two or three days. "

Mrs. Zhang was taken aback, and quickly asked some more detailed questions about life-seeking grass.

"I haven't seen it." She shook her head regretfully, and asked anxiously, "Did you bring it back? I'll show it to others."

Ren Ning spread his hands hehe, "It's all used up."

Mrs. Zhang was stunned.

When her eyes fell on Ren Ning's mummy-like body, she immediately understood.

If such a sharp herb is really found, instead of hiding it, it is better to take it out and dedicate it to the fortress.In the days to come, I don't know how many comrades can be treated, so it is naturally a great achievement.

Fortresses have always been rewarding and punishing, and finding such a herb is enough to give Ren Ning a great credit.

It's a pity that he didn't show the real thing...

Mrs. Zhang said a few more words, persuading him to have a good rest after eating, then got up and hurried away with the little apprentice.

Not long after, someone knocked on Ren Ning's door again.

It turned out that some family members sent some things to his predecessor, who had just arrived at Yanzhen Fortress these days.

Ren Ning took it and opened it to see that it was a letter from the family.

The predecessor was not an orphan, on the contrary, Ren Ning also had a huge family background.

The Ren family in the imperial capital is a family of grand masters with great power.

It's just that he was an illegitimate child, and was brought back to the family by his father shortly after he was born.

However, the feudal hierarchy is strict, and being an illegitimate child is not valued by others.Not to mention the legitimate son in the family, he can't even compare to the concubine.

Of course, the illegitimate child is also considered as a child of the Ren family, but so far he has not been able to enter the family tree.

The reason was that his aunt said that his origin was unclear.In case of confusing the Ren family's blood, no one can afford to blame the ancestors under Jiuquan.

In this way, the predecessor lived without a name.

After finally living to be 14 years old, he signed the military registration without hesitation behind the backs of other tribesmen, and since then crossed thousands of rivers and mountains to Pingxi County and became a small scout in Yanzhen Fortress.

It is very dangerous to be a soldier. You always tie your head to your belt. The scars on your body are proof, but you don't regret it at all.

If he had been growing up in the family.If you will flatter yourself when you become an adult, you will probably be sent to a remote Zhuangzi to take care of the family business.

Wealth and wealth can't be talked about, at least you don't have to worry about food and clothing until you grow old safely.However, it is still a question of whether it can be buried in the ancestral grave in the end.

If you have a stubborn temper and won't look at other people, [-]% of you will be kicked out of the family by your aunt when you become an adult, and you will live on the streets of the imperial capital to survive.

The former is the latter, not only does he not look at the eyes of his direct brothers, he even beats them when his temper comes up.The aunt naturally couldn't tolerate him.If it weren't for the clan wife staring at her, it is estimated that the predecessor would not have lived to be 14 years old.

He saw clearly.

As an unidentified illegitimate child, he has no chance to inherit the family unless the whole family dies.Even after the separation of the family, there is no trace of him.

Without the support of his family and without his own land, he would either start a small business in the city and work as a laborer, and then try to marry a Xiaojiabiyu or even a servant girl, and live a mediocre life from then on.

Either don't steam the steamed buns to fight for breath, and go to the army to get ahead.

600 years ago, the Yunchui Empire established its country by force, and the titles of Duke Baizinan were only awarded to soldiers with outstanding military exploits.

As long as he becomes an ordinary general, even a small viscount, he can start a court and start a clan.From then on, he raised his head in front of those brothers who looked down on him, and even made them bow their heads and give way.

Withdrawing his confused thoughts, Ren Ning's eyes fell on the family letter in front of him.

He hasn't read the content yet, but his brows are already wrinkled enough to kill mosquitoes.

This family letter was sent by his half-sister, Ren Xi.

The handwriting on it is scrawled and extremely ugly, and the calligraphy is almost at the level of just learning to write.Letter writers can't even write many characters, and draw various symbols instead.

If Ren Ning hadn't had nothing to do and worked hard to figure out the content, otherwise he really didn't know what was written in the letter.

It doesn't make sense.

Ren Ning raised his head blankly.

The Ren family is not an ordinary family. Even in the imperial capital where the rich and powerful are all over the place, they can still be ranked at the top.

Even if the sixth younger sister Ren Xi is a concubine who is not valued, she can't speak well like the daughters of the first wife, or is proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she is still a lady, at least she has worked hard on literacy and calligraphy.

How can I write a letter like now without words or words?
Could it be that the clan's wife was seriously ill and could no longer take care of the humble sons and daughters of the clan.So that they can't even accept the most basic education?
