The room with a small wall of the house was filled with a faint fragrance of medicine.

There was still a small amount of medicine residue left in the empty can that was poured beside him.

But in the old pottery tiles storage pot next to it, there was not even half of the medicine leaf left.

In the bedroom, the old lady paralyzed in bed fell asleep silly, with a rare look on her face.

In the next room, the mottled walls and the zeniths covered with spider webs, like the old man, are all proving the vicissitudes of time here.

The old man sat at the square table with all paint, and the melancholy on his face could not be melted.

In the next room, the old woman's painful whimper suddenly came.

The old man stood up anxiously and walked into the room.

I found that the old woman was awake.

"Nannan." He stepped forward and held his wife's hand.

Two pairs of dead branches-like hands are tightly grasped.

My wife's face was covered with sweat and her expression was filled with pain.

The old man handed his wife's hand to his mouth guiltily and kissed her hard.

But this does not relieve severe cancer pain.

"Drink a little more." The old man handed the half bowl of medicine left at the head of the bed to her and fed his wife to drink.

The anesthetic medicine soup was in the stomach, and the expression on my wife's face was relieved a little.

My wife's eyes were blurred again, and as the medicine took effect, she would fall asleep immediately.

"Nannan, marry me and make you suffer."

The wife smiled and didn't say anything.

The cancer pain made her unable to say even a word.

But the eyes have given the answer.

Instead, the old woman closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Back in the hall and sit down again.

I don’t know how many times I have soaked the tea leaves in the pot, but I can’t taste the slightest bit.

The old man took a sip and scanned the surrounding houses.

There is no longer anything to sell at home.

In the whole room, there was only this valuable table, a water cup that was worthless and had a broken corner, and a wardrobe with only a dozen pieces of clothes in the corner of the wall.

My wife has cancer.

The cancer pain caused by advanced cancer tortures her every minute and every second.

The medicine soup I just fed her to her was just analgesic herbs prescribed by barefoot doctors. Apart from the analgesic, it will not have any therapeutic effects on the condition. Moreover, the side effects are obvious, which will make the patient sleep continuously.

But even this cheap herb is no longer affordable for the old man.

There was a hint of sadness in the old man's eyes, but more stubbornness.

The firewood that I had just chopped was sold out, and I sold 10 copper coins and had 5 copper coins in my hand.

A course of medicine, for a week, requires 50 copper coins.

Sell ​​the six leftover vegetables in the vegetable garden?

No, the old woman hasn't eaten it for a long time. No matter what, she will cook a delicious meal for her tomorrow, and the rice jar is empty.

The old man subconsciously touched his broken knee.

If you didn't challenge that foreigner and broke your knees, maybe... no, where can you go to earn 35 copper coins in one night?

The old man did not regret challenging the foreigner with gray hair, heterochromatic pupils.

Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world.

Look at what this country looks like by foreigners?

Children become ignorant and want to enjoy themselves.

It would be fine if no one respects us veterans.

Those foreigners are obviously targeting our Tianshan regime.

Why, Jianren and Jianhuo don’t quickly expel foreigners? Are they all blind?

The old man sighed helplessly.

It's like regretting why I'm so old and being poisoned by my country, but I can't do anything.

Even the wife who has been with her whole life...

A drop of turbid tears fell from the corner of the old man's eyes.

But he quickly wiped it off and sorted out his emotions.

His eyes regained their stubbornness.

After thinking for a while, he raised his head, as if he had made a decision.

The old man stood up, limped towards the worn-out wardrobe, and took out a neat piece of clothing from it.

The moment he saw this dress, Zheng Gan, who was invisible, couldn't help but frown.

It was an old, but neat and straight old Tianshan military uniform.

The old man respectfully took it out with his hands and placed his military uniform carefully on the table like a devout believer.

There are more than a dozen medals of various types on the left chest of this military uniform.

The old man trembled and stretched out his hand, took off the military seals one by one, took out the only piece of white cloth in the house, and placed them neatly in it.

Because the old man is too old, his expression will not change much.

But Zheng Gan clearly saw that his spirit was shaken like never before.

Even when facing an invincible opponent like him and kicking his knees to pieces, the old man had never shown such an expression.

The next day.

An old man came to the rental stall in the Dingtou at the gate of the city.

The old man spent 3 copper coins and rented a stall.

When he arrived at the stall, he took out the white cloth, placed it on the ground, and arranged the military seals inside neatly.

A young man, about fifteen or sixteen years old, was walking while reading a military novel. He happened to pass by here and noticed the old man's stall.

He glanced at Jun Zhang on the ground, and a hint of interest appeared in his eyes.

"Old man, how do you sell this?" The young man closed the novel and knocked on one of the military seals with a corner of the book.

The old man raised his turbid eyes and said quietly: "One five copper coins."

The boy generously took out twelve copper coins: "I'll buy three, it's cheaper."

The old man's lips trembled.

He thought of his wife who was still in the hospital bed, and the medicine could only last for three or four hours at most.

He nodded helplessly.

He picked up three military seals with his own hands and held them with both hands.

The thumb swept across the surface for the last time, and after sweeping away the dust for the three military seals, he handed it to the boy like a farewell.

"Hurry up, I'm in a hurry."

The boy grabbed the military seal, captured twelve copper coins, turned around and left.

The old man watched the boy go away.

He saw with his own eyes that the young man tore off a brocade cloth from a military seal and put it on his belt as an ornament.

The other two medals were casually put into their pockets.

The old man stared at him for a long time until he disappeared from the corner of the street, and he stared for a long time before moving away from his sight.

Two hours later, the old man left the stall with a white cloth.

All 12 military seals have been sold out.

A total of 51 copper coins were sold.

Looking at the old man's limping back, Zheng Gan no longer wanted to follow him anymore.

Just looked at his back silently.

Not everyone is a strong man like Zheng Gan.

Even if he has been a soldier for a lifetime, this old man is still not a strong man. He is just an ordinary warrior who has mastered his skills to the extreme.

Being a soldier for a lifetime, the honor he earned with his life was sold in the end, and he only sold 51 copper coins to buy them as a toy for those young and ignorant little devils.

After staying there for a long time, his fists were slightly tightened. Zheng Gan turned around and walked towards Zhujian Pavilion as if he had made up some determination.
