From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 17

"Ah?" Luo Qiu instinctively thought that he had heard wrong.

Not wanting to say more, Mei Xin picked up the millet porridge and said, "Oh, what, don't, hurry up and call Shang Yunluo back to the city while it's still early. Send those skins to the godmother, if the godmother likes anything else Pick. There is also Granny Wu’s old cold legs. Please ask the doctor to go and have a look. When it’s cold, buy two sets of knee pads and send them along. The children of Yiyingtang should also make winter clothes. Let Buzhuang send someone To tailor the clothes, it must be done before the end of the month.”

Yiyingtang is not a school but a place for orphans of soldiers and generals. Luoqiu and Sanniang came from Yiyingtang, and all the children in Yiyingtang were raised by the Mei family.

The so-called raising up is not just giving them a bite to eat and giving them a place to live, but raising them like all parents in the world raise their children.

Reading, calligraphy, martial arts, doing business, studying medicine, etc., as long as the children like it and are willing to stick to it, General Mei is not stingy.Not only is he not stingy, he will focus on cultivating children who are particularly outstanding in one aspect, and some of the families of the Mei family in the past have been selected from these children.

In fact, besides the family generals, there are 36 hidden guards, and no matter what it is, the children are voluntary, and the Mei family never forces it.It's just that once a choice is made, there is no way out. Life is the Mei family's army, death is the Mei family's ghost, the loyal soul of the bones, the blood and the heart.

Because people died in battle every year, there were more and more remains of soldiers, plus their mothers, more and more people were taken in by Yiyingtang.In the past two years, with the increase in the number of people, General Mei had to expand the Yiying Hall.Therefore, the current Yiying Hall is very large and covers a large area. It not only has a school but also a martial arts arena. In addition to the invited masters, there are also many veterans who have come down from the battlefield.

Because the veterans were injured on the battlefield, those missing arms and legs could no longer go to the battlefield, and there was no good place to go. General Mei sent them to teach the children martial arts, or to wash and cook for the children and tell stories.Of course, this is only a small number of veterans, and there are many who are placed in the farms and forests.Or farm, or raise pigs, or take care of fruit trees, or do other things, in short, let them do whatever they can do.

As the saying goes, it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. Self-reliance is the long-term way.Although General Mei feels sorry for and pities these soldiers, he has done little. It is rare, and the veterans are also very understanding.Therefore, Yiyingtang has been established for many years and no one has ever caused trouble, and this is also the spirit of unity of the Mei family army.

Liangzhou has a total of [-] cities, which have been garrisoned by the Mei family army for hundreds of years.The Mei family is like a big banner here, like a city wall that can never be broken.As long as there is the Mei family army, the people of Liangzhou City will be able to live and work in peace and enjoy peace forever.Therefore, everyone in Liangzhou city admired the Mei family, and everyone was grateful to the Mei family's army.

The temperature difference between day and night in Liangzhou is huge, and it starts to get colder and colder as soon as autumn comes. Luoqiu is also thinking about the children's winter clothes, but she doesn't understand why Mei Xin, who never likes to dress up, suddenly wants to make clothes. Also hit the head.After listening to a series of instructions, she couldn't help but asked again: "Major General, what's wrong with you today, why are you so strange? In the past, you didn't want any clothes or jewelry that Mrs. Su gave you. Throw them all aside and ask Otherwise, it will be thrown to us, why is it suddenly..."

Before she finished speaking, Luo Qiu stopped, seeing Mei Xin's eyes were as sharp as a sword drawn out of its sheath, she raised her hand and slapped her on the mouth and hurried away.

Mei Xin has four girls beside her. Although their tempers and personalities are completely different, except for her being a chatterbox, the other three are very restrained.Especially Sanniang, who is very stable, followed by Cardamom, who doesn't say a word of nonsense, and Yunluo, who is careful, gentle and polite like everyone's lady.He usually doesn't talk much, but as long as he speaks, he must get to the point. His observation skills are amazing, and he has the ability of photographic memory.

Mei Xin is not familiar with ordinary affairs, and she basically doesn't care about them, but all her things are left to Yun Luo and Luo Qiu to take care of them.Although Luo Qiu talked a lot, he was very clever, and his ability to adapt to changes was also very strong.Therefore, the two of them cooperated and took good care of Mei Xin, and devoted themselves to everything.

As soon as Luo Qiu left, the room immediately became quiet. Mei Xin lowered her head and touched her belly. Thinking that her son was here now, she felt much calmer.

Dad was seriously injured, and he might not be able to go on the road for a while after he was picked up.Liangzhou is thousands of miles away from the capital, so I have to make every possible preparation with my injured father along the way.Dad is General Mei, the King of Liang stationed in Liangzhou, and he is not allowed to return to Beijing without an edict, so he has to think of a way to hide it from everyone's eyes.

"Report to Major General, Vice General Wei is here." While pondering, Dou Kou's voice came from outside the military tent.

Mei Xin regained consciousness and pulled the quilt, tidied her clothes a little and said, "Come in!"

The sound fell, and Wei Dayong, who was over forty years old, walked in, saluted Mei Xin respectfully, and called out: "Young general!"

Mei Xin raised her hand to signal him to sit down, and then said to Dou Kou: "I have something to tell Uncle Wei, you go and watch outside, and don't disturb anyone without my permission."

Cardamom Deling immediately withdrew to guard the door, Mei Xin looked back at Wei Dayong and said, "How is Uncle Wei's injury, but it's a bone injury?"

Seeing that there was a belt hanging around his neck and bamboo boards on his arms, Mei Xin couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Wei Dayong is a general of the Mei family. He followed General Mei in the north and south for many years, and suffered countless injuries.He raised his arm nonchalantly, and said, "I didn't hurt my bones, it was Dr. An who insisted on hanging me up. It's too much to ask me to see him if he said something would help the wound heal."

The person who came down from the battlefield is not rough-skinned and thick-skinned, with iron-clad muscles and bones. To him, this small injury is like scratching an itch, not worth mentioning.

Mei Xin smiled and said: "Brother Qizheng has excellent medical skills even though he is small. If he asks you to hang up, you should hang up first. Uncle Wei, I asked you to come here today for no other reason. I want you to go to the north Pick up my father from the mountain."

Eyes widened like copper bells, Wei Dayong stood up as if struck by five thunderbolts and said in surprise: "Your father, the general was injured and unconscious, right now..."

At this point, I don't know what to think of, Wei Dayong suddenly stopped talking.Turning his head and glanced at the door, he took a step forward with a dignified expression and said in a low voice, "What does the young general mean? Could it be that the person lying in the tent is not the general?"

That day the general who broke out from the siege split up with him, and then returned to the camp one after another. He went to the army tent half an hour ago to see that the general was seriously injured and has not yet regained consciousness.
