Rebirth: the fiery age of Mori Gong's children

Chapter 442 Xuan Yang Blood

After the Sheng brothers sat down, a nanny brought them two cups of tea. The two brothers nodded in thanks, but no one touched the tea.

Sheng Xiping looked up at the man sitting above him, wearing a military green uniform, Wu Yuhua's father, Wu Bingzhong.

At first glance, this person looks serious and dignified.

Although he seemed to be trying his best to relax at the moment, the coldness between his eyebrows still made people involuntarily respect him.

"Uncle Wu, Aunt Wu, my brother is young and it is inevitable that he will be careless and careless in doing things. Please forgive me."

Sheng Xiping was the first to speak, apologizing for Sheng Xikang.

"Although this relationship is a matter of two people, if you want to go on in the long run, after all, the two families need to be together.

At the very least, if you are in love, you should take the initiative to visit your home and ask for your consent.

I didn't know until yesterday that I immediately gave Xikang a scolding because he had done something bad and lost etiquette. "

As soon as he entered the house just now, Sheng Xiping discovered that there were many boys in the younger generation of the Wu family, and Wu Yuhua was the only girl.

Coming from such a family, and being one of the few girls in the younger generation, it is obvious that Wu Yuhua was definitely raised by a lot of pampers, and she was the treasure that everyone in the Wu family held in their hands.

Now, the jewel in their palm is about to be snatched away by a wild boy who appears out of nowhere. I think the Wu family will not feel too comfortable.

别说是吴家了，就是在盛家，盛希平只要一想到，他家那俩妹妹要处对象，将来会嫁给哪个臭小子，他都想揍人。

Therefore, before the Wu family could speak, Sheng Xiping took the initiative to apologize first, which could be regarded as gaining some impression points for Sheng Xikang.

Although Sheng Xiping didn't have high hopes for his younger brother's relationship, he still had to fight for what he deserved. What if there is hope?

Wu Bingzhong glanced at Sheng Xikang, then at Sheng Xiping, and then turned to look at his wife.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Wu Bingzhong's sharp eyebrows softened instantly.

Wu Bingzhong coughed lightly and then spoke, "Young people are energetic and energetic. They are not as hesitant as older people. It is normal to not think carefully."

Wu Bingzhong's tone of voice was gentle and more casual, and he was more relaxed than before.

"Yuhua told us yesterday, and Yuqing and Yucheng also brought Comrade Sheng's words.

I have great admiration for your father-in-law. The forestry workers are amazing. They work in the deep mountains and old forests and support the country's construction in obscurity.

What is even more admirable is the Sheng family’s family tradition.

It is remarkable that an ordinary working-class family can produce so many outstanding children. Four of the six children have been admitted to the top universities in the country. "

As Wu Bingzhong said this, he looked at Sheng Xikang with a bit of appreciation in his eyes.

Nowadays, it is very good if a family can have a college student, and it is a matter of honoring the ancestors.

But among the six children of the Sheng family, four have been admitted to college. It is said that the youngest has very good academic performance and will have no problem getting into college.

Such a family is very rare even in the capital, let alone a small remote county in the Northeast.

In the past few years since the college entrance examination was resumed, people’s previous concepts have changed.

In this era, reading should be the fastest and most effective way to change your destiny.

Even people from a family like the Wu family have great respect for people who are good at reading and talented.

"I invite you brothers here today. I have no intention of raising an army to accuse you, so you don't need to be nervous.

Who didn’t come here when they were young? It is normal for children to make friends when they grow up. female

Children will eventually get married when they grow up, so they can't stay at home for the rest of their lives, right?

We just want to see what Xiaosheng is like and get to know him. As for how you get along in the future, that is a matter for you young people. "

Wu Bingzhong could feel that his daughter was stabbing him behind him, so he didn't hold back and said straightforwardly.

People in this era don't have so many concepts of wealth and poverty, and pay more attention to the other person's family background and ideological concepts.

Sheng Liancheng was born in a poor peasant family. He had no stain and a clean family background. The working class was the backbone of national construction. This family background was impeccable.

Sheng Xikang is a student at Peking University. It is said that his academic performance ranks first in his major every year and he is highly respected by teachers and students in the school.

Do you really think the Wu family is stupid? After they learned that their daughter was a virgin, they immediately arranged for someone to investigate.

The results of the investigation are still very satisfactory.

Moreover, Sheng Xikang's job has been confirmed and he will stay in the capital. Talents that can bring people from ministries and commissions to a close fight with Ji Province will definitely have good future development.

I called the Sheng brothers here today just to see what they are like in real life.

Not bad, thick eyebrows, big eyes, straight facial features, clear and firm eyes. Facing the three-party interrogation posture of the Wu family, he was neither humble nor arrogant, nor rushed, sitting there quite calmly.

With Wu Bingzhong's status, many children in the compound were trembling and cautious when meeting him, but the Sheng brothers behaved very naturally.

Combining what Wu Yuqing and Wu Yucheng brought back yesterday and the performance of the Sheng brothers today, Wu Bingzhong is still very satisfied.

Of course, the main reason is that my daughter likes it.

Wu Yuhua said it in front of the whole family yesterday that she had her sights set on Sheng Xikang for the rest of her life, and no one could stop her.

There is just such a girl in the Wu family. She has been favored since she was a child. It can be said that she wants the stars but not the moon.

Now Wu Yuhua just likes this young man, and he is a very good young man. What can they do? Forcibly messing with the relationship, making my daughter hate her family for the rest of her life?

It would be better to openly agree to let the two of them get along and see how far they can go.

After all, it is easy to fall in love but difficult to get along with each other. If two people find that they are not suitable for each other, they will break up without asking their family members.

If the two of them get along better, then prepare and let them get married.

Whose daughter can stay at home and be an old girl for the rest of her life without getting married?

As soon as Wu Bingzhong said these words, he heard Wu Yuhua behind him let out a long breath, and he couldn't help but shake his head. My daughter is too old to take care of her.

Of course, the two Sheng brothers were even more surprised.

The way he entered the door just now, Sheng Xiping really thought that his brother's marriage was going to be dirty.

Unexpectedly, in a sudden turn of events, the Wu family actually nodded and agreed for the two of them to get along, which really surprised him.

"Xikang, why don't you thank me quickly?" Sheng Xiping reminded his brother in a low voice.

Sheng Xikang stood up quickly and saluted Wu Bingzhong and his wife.

"More uncles and aunts will help me. Please rest assured that I will treat Yuhua well and will never bully her or make her sad."

Sheng Xikang, this kid, is still a bit clever, so he changed his name now. He no longer calls him Uncle Wu or Aunt Wu. He dropped his surname to make him look more familiar.

"Hahaha, you bully her? It's better if she doesn't bully you.

Have you seen Yu Qing and the others over there? There are still several boys in our family who have not returned from other places.

Yuhua's temper has long been spoiled by her brothers and sisters. From now on, you will be the one to suffer. "

After personally admitting his daughter's relationship with Sheng Xikang, Wu Bingzhong's attitude suddenly changed and he became friendly towards Sheng Xikang.

As soon as these words came out, Wu Yuhua behind him was unhappy and stamped his feet angrily. "Dad, what are you talking about? Where do I have it?"

"Okay, okay, you didn't, you are the best, the best, right?" Wu Bingzhong smiled perfunctorily.

"Yes, yes, our Yuhua is the most well-behaved and sensible person. Just now your father was talking nonsense."

Wu Yuhua's second uncle, Wu Bingyi, also echoed. But these words are more of a joke.

Everyone in the room started laughing, and the solemn and solemn atmosphere just now was instantly swept away.

"Comrade Xiaosheng, oh, it's so awkward to call me that.

Xikang, Xiping, since you are here today, you will stay for a casual meal. It just so happens that you can also have a good chat with your uncle.

After all, our family has some connections with the Northeast. Our old man fought in the Siping Defense War, and he used to always mention things about the Northeast to us. "

After everyone had laughed, Wu Yuhua's mother, Yu Wenlan, spoke.

When Yu Wenlan said this, the two brothers Sheng Xiping couldn't help but stand in awe. The old man of the Wu family must have been a great person back then.

"Uncle and aunt, you should not refuse due to your kindness.

But we still have some things to deal with, so we won’t stay for dinner tonight. "

How can anyone stay for dinner after visiting for the first time? That's too unsightly.

It was so smooth to come to Wu's house today. It didn't take any effort for people to agree that Sheng Xikang and Wu Yuhua were dating. This was good.

If you stay for dinner, wouldn't that be a slap in the face? Therefore, Sheng Xiping winked at his brother and stood up to leave.

"Look, are we going out to the outside? Being here is just like being at home.

It's already this time, no matter what happens, you have to finish your meal before leaving. "

Yu Wenlan has a very cheerful personality and is very enthusiastic towards people without any airs.

The daughter has already identified Sheng Xikang, and Yu Wenlan looks at Sheng Xikang, this young man is quite good and likable.

Can we still let people leave with an empty stomach? If this spreads out, others must not laugh at the Wu family?

The Sheng Xiping brothers were about to refuse, but they saw someone pushing a wheelchair in from outside.

In the wheelchair, there was an old man with gray hair who looked to be in his seventies.

There is a scar on the old man's face. The vicissitudes of time have made the old man no longer majestic, but there is still a perseverance in the face of the gunfire and bullets.

"Dad, why are you here? Doctor Wang, didn't you tell my dad to rest?" Wu Bingzhong, Wu Bingyi, and everyone else in the living room all stood up.

Wu Yuqing and several other juniors quickly stepped forward to take the wheelchair handle.

"Grandpa, are you bored in the house? Want to come out for a walk?" Wu Yuhua walked over in a few steps, squatted in front of the old man, and asked softly.

"I, I, I'm here to see you, my partner." The old man opened his mouth and spoke a few unclear words intermittently with great difficulty.

At this time, Sheng Xiping noticed that the old man's mouth was slightly crooked, and there seemed to be something wrong with his right hand. It looked like the sequelae of a stroke.

At this time, the home health doctor who was pushing the old man spoke.

"Mr. Wu heard that Miss Yuhua's friend was here. He said he was hungry and couldn't stay in the house, so he had to come over and have a look. I couldn't stand up to Mr. Wu, so I had to push him over."

Wu Yuhua is the only girl in the Wu family in this generation, and she is the most popular with the old man.

As soon as he heard that Wu Yuhua's partner had arrived, the old man couldn't stay in the house. He had to come over and have a look to check on his granddaughter.

When Wu Yuhua heard this, he quickly pulled Sheng Xikang over, "Grandpa, look, this is my partner.

Sheng Xikang, from Fusong, Ji Province, went to the same school as me and was one grade above me. "

Sheng Xikang also squatted down and looked up at the old man in the wheelchair, "Hello, Mr. Wu, I am Sheng Xikang. I am very happy to meet you.

You are an old hero. I just heard about your original deeds, which is awe-inspiring. "

Mr. Wu's cloudy eyes widened and he looked at Sheng Xikang carefully. Then he raised his left hand with great effort, touched the top of Sheng Xikang's head, and patted it again.

"Well, well, okay, good boy." The old man nodded, as if he was quite satisfied with Sheng Xikang.

"Stay, keep the food." Mr. Wu raised his head and said to his eldest daughter-in-law.

"Well, I understand, Dad, I just said that I would keep them at home for a simple meal.

Dad, don’t worry, we will entertain Xiao Sheng well. "Yu Wenlan nodded in response.

The old man seemed quite satisfied, nodded, and then had someone push him back to the house to rest.

Originally, the two Sheng Xiping brothers wanted to say goodbye and leave, but Mr. Wu spoke up, and they could no longer pretend to refuse, so they had no choice but to stay.

It was still early for dinner, so everyone sat down and continued talking.

"Uncle Wu, I would like to ask, how long has Mr. Wu been in this state?" Sheng Xiping asked seemingly casually.

"Hey, don't mention it. My father fought in the war when he was young and left a lot of diseases. He has been recuperating these years.

I suffered a sudden stroke two years ago. Fortunately, I was rescued in time and managed to save my life. However, I couldn't use this half of my body, and my mouth was a little crooked, so I couldn't speak clearly. "

When the old man's illness was mentioned, the whole family couldn't help but sigh.

"According to this, Mr. Wu has not been ill for a long time. If he finds the right method, he should be cured." Sheng Xiping said tentatively.

Wu Bingyi smiled bitterly when he heard this, "The hospital has also used a lot of methods, such as acupuncture, rehabilitation training, and I have been taking medicine, but it has no effect.

The main reason is that he is too old and his body functions are not good enough. According to the current medical conditions, he can only take care of himself slowly. "

Sheng Xiping nodded. With Mr. Wu's status, those who treat him must be the best doctors.

If these people can't do anything, this problem is really difficult to cure.

"What about the folk remedies? Haven't you tried it?" Sheng Xiping continued to ask.

"Hey, I tried it too. Since the old man was discharged from the hospital, our family has been looking around for famous doctors and folk remedies, trying to find ways to treat the old man. But it has no effect." Wu Bingyi couldn't help but sigh.

"An old doctor from the Northeast told us about something called hanging sheep blood.

I heard that it is an animal unique to the Changbai Mountain area, and I said that if I could find this thing, it might be useful.

But later we found out that this kind of animal had disappeared as early as the late Qing Dynasty. Where can we get hanging sheep blood now? "

Wu Bingyi shook his head as he spoke. His father had been a hero all his life, but to end up like this in old age made him feel uncomfortable as a child.

As a child, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, who wouldn't want their old father to get better? But this prescription is too far-fetched and impossible.

"To be precise, it's not called hanging sheep's blood, it should be called xuanyang." Sheng Xiping's heart skipped a beat, and he blurted out a sentence almost subconsciously.

"Xuanyang? What is Xuanyang?" The Wu brothers stood up and asked in unison.

Sheng Xiping carefully recalled the allusions he heard from his wife.

"Xuanyang is said to be an extinct animal in the Changbai Mountains. It lives on cliffs and even climbs into some trees.

It is said that it looks a bit like a goat, with larger horns on its head. "

Some people say that hanging sheep hang on trees by their horns when sleeping, so they are also called hanging sheep, but others say that it is not the same thing at all.

"Compendium of Materia Medica" records that "those with thin horns are called xuanyang". The blood of hanging sheep that the world says has miraculous effects should actually be the myocardial blood of hanging sheep.

Xuan Yang’s myocardial blood is made into dry powder, which is said to have miraculous pain relief effects. The effect is several times that of the anesthetic analgesics used in hospitals.

It is said that at the end of the Qing Dynasty, Liu Jianfeng, a member of the Fengji boundary demarcation committee, was ordered to inspect Changbai Mountain.

While searching for the source of the Three Rivers, I fell off my horse and broke my back. I spent four days repairing it by the river and was in so much pain that I couldn't move.

His men, accompanied and guided by local hunters, shot a goat, roasted the goat's blood into powder and gave it to him to drink, and he recovered quickly.

Afterwards, Orion got some tiger bone glue for Liu Jianfeng. After eating it, he felt better and continued to explore Changbai Mountain.

This incident was recorded in detail by Liu Jianfeng in "Changbai Mountain Jianggang Zhilue". It is also one of the few documentary records about Xuan Yang.

Of course, there are many legends about Xuan Yang’s blood.

Why, when King Lao Han was seriously injured, he was cured by drinking Xuan Yang's blood and returned to the battlefield.

It was also said that when Marshal Zhang was seriously injured, drinking Xuan Yang's blood healed him.

It is also said that Cixi wanted to find the blood of Xuan Yang and sent many people to Changbai Mountain, but found nothing.

Anyway, there are various theories and they are widely circulated among the people, but there are very few people who have actually seen Xuan Yang or Xuan Yang blood.

"Comrade Xiao Sheng, how do you know this? Is it true that there is hanging sheep blood?" Brother Wu Bingzhong asked with excitement and expectancy.

“I also heard what others said.

In our Changbai Mountain area, there is a kind of people called Laoshan Gouzi and Laodong Gouzi. They are the kind of people who live in deep mountains and old forests, far away from the crowd.

Most of these people are lonely and can hunt and fish, and engage in the most primitive fishing and hunting life in the mountains.

By chance, I heard it from someone else. "Sheng Xiping's eyes flashed slightly and he said casually.

"Oh, Xiping, can you help me find out where I can get Xuan Yang's blood?

If it is possible, we would be happy to pay how much. As long as we can make the old man get better and avoid these crimes, we can agree to any conditions. "

Wu Bingzhong and Wu Bingyi were both extremely excited. They stepped forward, grabbed Sheng Xiping's hand, and said.

“It is said that this animal is extinct, I just heard that.

Come back, let me help you find out, but don't hold out too much hope, after all, this is a legend. "Sheng Xiping pondered for a long time before nodding in agreement.

"Thank you, thank you, Xiping, I'll let you worry about it. Regardless of whether we can find it or not, we still appreciate your kindness."

Wu Bingzhong held Sheng Xiping's hand with so much strength in his excitement that Sheng Xiping's hand turned white when he held it.

"It should be, it should be. Mr. Wu is a hero, and a hero shouldn't be like this in his twilight years. I will do my best wherever I can help."

Sheng Xiping slowly took out his hand without leaving any trace, nodded in response.

Wu Bingzhong may have noticed his gaffe, and smiled awkwardly, "Come on, come on, Xiping, Xikang, sit down, let's sit down and talk."

Everyone sat down again, and their moods recovered a little.

Yu Wenlan greeted people, served tea again, and asked the nanny to add a few more dishes to the evening meal.

This time when the tea was served, the two Sheng Xiping brothers were no longer polite. Instead, they picked up the tea bowl and took a few sips.

After the topic of Xuan Yang's blood just now, the Wu family's attitude towards Brother Sheng Xiping became much warmer.

Wu Bingzhong had to ask about what Sheng Xiping did in the past and why he knew so much about hunting.

"Dad, I know this. Xikang said that my eldest brother is also an excellent hunter. He has hunted many wild boars and black blind men. Their family even raised a tiger."

Before Sheng Xiping could speak, Wu Yuhua rushed to speak. The pride in her tone was as if Sheng Xiping was her brother.

"Oh, I really didn't realize that Xiping is still a good hunter at such a young age. He has raised tigers? This is incredible."

Wu Bingzhong looked at Sheng Xiping in surprise, with admiration in his eyes.

"Our forest farm is next to a village, and there are many hunters in that village. When I was a child, I learned some hunting skills from my master.

In the past few years, when I was an educated youth and unemployed, except for going to the mountains to cut trees in the winter, when I had nothing to do, I would go up to the mountains and catch pheasants, hares, and the like.

Occasionally, I can hunt a wild boar or a black blind man. Anyway, it just improves my home and my life. "Sheng Xiping smiled and said in a calm tone.

“As for the tiger, we went up the mountain to pick up a cub, and the mother tiger was bitten to death by a brown bear.

The tiger cub was not yet a month old, so he couldn't go all the way to the province, so he found a bitch that had just given birth to feed it, and he raised it without thinking.

After raising it for about half a year, the tiger was released into the forest, and now we can still see it occasionally. "While Sheng Xiping was talking, he glanced at Sheng Xikang.

This brat can talk about anything, just talk about hunting. Why can't he talk about Huahua's existence?

If someone with ulterior motives finds out, wouldn't Huahua and Jiaojiao Zhuangzhuang be in danger?

"Oh, so that's it. That's fine. The tiger is a wild animal after all. It's right to release it back into the wild."

Wu Bingzhong nodded and appreciated Sheng Xiping a little more.

"I have to say that your father, Zun Lingtang, is not an ordinary person. The children he raises are outstanding."

Wu Bingzhong joined the army and fought in the war when he was a teenager. He didn't have much education. What little knowledge he has now was learned in the military academy.

What he admired most in his life was capable people. From Sheng Xiping's understatement, Wu Bingzhong could hear the danger behind it.

Those who can make a living in the deep mountains and old forests are those who hide their secrets and are remarkable.

At the same time, Wu Bingzhong also became more confident in Sheng Xiping's promise to help find Xuan Yang's blood.

Maybe there is something this young man can do. If so, there is hope for the old man to recover.

After all, there are not many of those old people left today. It is the Wu family's blessing that the old man can live a healthy life for a few more years.
