Chapter 797, Oath
For Liang Ce, no matter what the other party was considered to have helped him out of the crisis, after all, this deserter was pointing his gun at him from beginning to end, once there was a conflict, he would definitely be the first to die.
Moreover, Liang Ce felt that Ren Xiaosu’s shooting in order to protect his girlfriend was not justifiable, and if the other party wanted to take Meng Nan away, he was afraid that he would have to go up and fight for his life as well.
Ren Xiaosu handed the pistol back to Wang Jing with a panicked look, “I’m sorry, I didn’t think about the consequences at that time, in case I didn’t kill him, I’m afraid I’ll get everyone involved.”
As a result, Wang Jing did not take the pistol, he smiled and said: “You are right to shoot, but the gun does not need to return to me, you keep it. This gun was still left to me by my father back then, and now it is more suitable for you.”
Ren Xiaosu was surprised for a moment, “But I don’t know how to use a gun.”
“It’s not important if you know how to, it’s only important if you have the courage to shoot,” Wang Jing lamented, and the middle-aged man next to him was a bit ashamed when these words came out.
At first, he didn’t let Ren Xiaosu take the gun, but as a result, he threw the gun on the ground, but it was Ren Xiaosu who relieved the crisis.
Obviously Wang Jing brought him out these years because he had good shooting results, but what was the use of good shooting results?
Wang Jing waved his hand at him, “You don’t need to feel embarrassed, after all, we are doctors, we haven’t killed anyone, it’s normal.”
Ren Xiaosu secretly nodded his head, Wang Jing was quite a sensible person, and what he said was right.
Wang Jing said to the middle-aged man and Liang Ce, “Carry this person’s body to the woods, after all, we still have to stay here for the night, it’s not good to stay in the camp.”
“Alright,” Liang Ce nodded his head and agreed, the doctor’s profession is a bit special, ordinary people are afraid of the dead, but surgeons have really seen a lot of dead people, so they are not afraid of the dead, only afraid of the living.
Wang Jing looked at the north and lamented, “It looks like this world is really going to be in chaos.”
“What makes you say that, old master?” Ren Xiaosu asked.
“Recently all the hospitals have been pulled out of some manpower you know?” Wang Jing asked.
Ren Xiaosu nodded her head pretending to know ……
“In fact, these doctors were temporarily organized by Wang Clan to enter the army,” Wang Jing said, “It is said that there are not enough military doctors, so they let the doctors in the barriers topped up, and this is only the first batch, there will be a second batch after that.”
“Kong Clan and Fire Seed’s side is at war, maybe Wang Clan wants to make early preparations, but I don’t think the war will spread to Wang Clan’s side,” Ren Xiaosu speculated, in his opinion, the unlucky ones should be Kong Clan and Fire Seed, isn’t Wang Clan nowadays waiting to reap the benefits of fishing.
Just Wang Jing heard his speculation but shook his head, “I may know more information about this than you guys, this group of doctors and nurses were transferred to the north.”
“North?” Someone was puzzled, Ren Xiaosu observed everyone’s expression and realized that everyone seemed to be hearing this news for the first time.
Wang Jing explained, “It’s to the north, and it’s to Barrier 176! It is said that a new enemy has appeared there, and earlier, some prairie people came to report that there was an enemy coming from further north of the prairie.”
“Grasslanders?” A doctor got angry when he heard those three words, “They just killed so many people at Barrier 176, can their words be trusted?”
“This time, the prairie people didn’t lie,” Wang Jing sighed, “Wang later sent scouts northward and did find traces of the other side, and some people said that the original prairie herders had all moved eastward just to avoid this calamity.”
Wang Jing was a medical titan, and all the people he came into contact with on a regular basis were also dignitaries, and some of Wang’s bigwigs who were treated for illnesses came to Wang Jing specifically, so his news was bound to be what he heard from those bigwigs.
Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaoguan looked at each other and asked in a low voice, “I know that there was still a very vast territory in the north before the disaster, but I see that there are newspapers from earlier years in the 88th Barrier that say that the disaster over there was much worse than on our side, ah, how come there are still people alive.”
Yang Xiaoguan replied, “I guess none of us have really been to the north, that should all be speculation, after all, it’s not Hope Media’s newspaper, the credibility is also greatly reduced.”
To be honest, I’m afraid that no one in the entire Central Plains thought that one day there would be enemies coming from further north of the grasslands.
Originally, Ren Xiaosu thought that this Central Plains melee would be between a few consortiums, but he didn’t expect there to be a twist.
Ren Xiaosu looked at Wang Jing, “Is this the reason why you have been so worried?”
“That’s right, we spend our whole life learning how to cure people and save them, but in the end we realize how small our little skills are in the face of war, you cure ten people today, but just one small-scale war will result in thousands of deaths, which will then produce thousands of injuries,” Wang Jing said.
A young doctor on the side became a bit negative when he heard this, “Then is it useless for us to study medicine.”
Wang Jing patted him on the shoulder, “How can it be useless, if we can save one, it’s one. Each of us will take an oath when we join the profession, do you still remember the oath you took?”
The young doctor said, “I remember, health depends on me, my life depends on me. I am determined to do my best to get rid of human sickness and pain, to help health become perfect, to uphold the holiness and honor of the medical profession, to save lives, to help the injured, to spare no effort, and to fight for the physical and mental health of mankind for the rest of my life.”
Saying this, the oath did not end, Wang Jing’s eyes filled with nostalgia continued, “I volunteer to be a candle, burning from the beginning to the end, always bright.”
Ren Xiaosu froze for a moment, this sentence that Wang Jing said Zhang Jinglin had also said to him, it turned out that this was the oath of a doctor in the era of the Waste Land, only at this time could he remember that Zhang Jinglin was a medic who was not willing to fire a gun in the earliest days of the 178th Fortress.
At this moment Ren Xiaosu had an inexplicable respect in his heart, just like when he met Jiang Xu.
In the past, he used to be forever pessimistic about the world, but then he realized that it was because he had walked too short a path and seen too few people that he didn’t know that there was another light in the world.
Wang Jing waved his hand at everyone, “All sit down and eat, after eating rest early and continue the journey tomorrow.”
At this time, Liang Ce and the middle-aged doctor named Sima Gang also came back, Ren Xiaosu made a wink to Liang Ce and whispered, “Don’t you like Meng Nan, now the influence of the crisis is still there, it is the time when the girl’s mood fluctuates a lot, have you ever heard of the drawbridge effect, that is to say, a person will involuntarily heartbeat faster in danger, when she encounters another person, she will take this heartbeat thinking it’s a heartbeat for another person, hurry up.”
Yang Xiaoguan glanced at Ren Xiaosu, “You’ve got a lot of tricks up your sleeve.”
Ren Xiaosu hurriedly explained, “I also read this in the book …… We are not giving Liang Ce ideas, to learn and apply ah.”
Liang Ce had also heard of the drawbridge effect, and immediately his eyes lit up, and he turned toward Meng Nan, but saw Meng Nan sitting silently by the campfire, her arms hugging her knees, and from the look of it, he knew that she still had palpitations.
Liang Ce sat beside Meng Nan and asked in a low voice, “Are you scared?”
Meng Nan’s expression loosened a bit, she nodded and replied, “A little bit, I used to listen to songs all night long when I was scared. When I first saw a corpse when I was studying medicine, I was so scared that I couldn’t sleep for the whole night, but as long as I listened to songs, I wouldn’t be so scared anymore. This time I forgot my walkman, can you talk with me?”
Liang Ce gets excited, “No, I have my Walkman with me!”
Ren Xiaosu: “……”
Yang Xiaoguan: “……”
Then Ren Xiaosu saw Liang Ce go to the car to fetch Meng Nan’s Walkman, and then sat by himself while roasting the fire.
He suddenly felt that this guy’s singleness wasn’t wronged at all ……
