Xue Lin and the others gradually approached the door and saw clearly that there were quite a number of people, and there were men and women, old and young.
One of them was a white-haired old lady who was supported by a well-behaved little servant girl. She was begging the guards for something. Behind her were two young men and women, and they even brought a few servants with them. They looked like they were from a wealthy family.
"Hey, hey, hey, what's going on?" Xue Lin frowned and asked the guard.
"Commander-in-chief! Chief of Staff!" The guard turned around and saluted Xue Lin and Zhen Chen, then replied,"This old lady is looking for her son and wants him to come home.”
"Oh?" Xue Lin found it strange. When the compulsory conscription order was issued back then, it was only enough for each block and village to provide young adults. There was no conscription from house to house.
Judging from the old lady's attitude, she was probably a famous person in Spring City. The 'conscription order' would not allow her family to send anyone. Usually, only poor families would come to join the army. Even if their neighborhood was rich and no one was willing to join the army, there were still servants who could send them over. There were quite a few new recruits who were 'sent into the army' in this way.
Xue Lin was also unwilling to be too stiff with these local gentry, so he turned a blind eye.
When the old lady saw the soldiers saluting the two young men in military uniforms and heard the word 'commander-in-chief,' she guessed that these two should be the leaders of this strange army.
"Aiyo! Sir! Please leave a root for our Old Zhao family! I'll kneel down to you!" The old lady pretended to kneel down.
"Hey! First Madam!"
"First Madam! Be careful!"
The people behind the old lady hurriedly supported the old lady. Xue Lin looked at the old lady who was about to kneel down to him and his heart skipped a beat. This was a sin! She quickly went forward to help the old lady up.
"Old Madam, can you tell me your son's name first? I'll get someone to call him out and ask him clearly, okay?”Xue Lin helped the old lady up and said with a pleasant expression.
"My son is called Zhao Xian! Three days ago, he sneaked out and entered the military camp! He's the only child left in my Old Zhao family! He didn't even leave behind a grandson! Please show mercy! Commander!"
Xue Lin hurriedly waved at Zhen Chen behind him.
Zhen Chen understood and left with a soldier.
Not long after, Zhen Chen returned. Behind him was a soldier who was covered in dirt and sweat. He looked to be in his early twenties.
"Son!" The moment the old lady saw him, she pounced on him.
"Mother! Why did you chase me to the military camp?!" Zhao Xian looked awkwardly at Xue Lin and Zhen Chen."Commander-in-chief, Chief of Staff, I'm really sorry. I snuck out to join the army.”
She turned around and said to her mother and a few other relatives,"I've already entered the military camp and registered. If I go back with you, I'll be a deserter!”
Xue Lin felt that things weren't that simple and looked at Zhen Chen.
Zhen Chen explained in a low voice," I've checked. This Zhao Xian is the only son of the Zhao family in Spring City. He's just a young master. I don't know why, but he doesn't want to inherit the family business. Instead, he thinks about fighting all day long. A few days ago, he sneaked out and volunteered to join the army. He's one of the first 180 people we recruited.”
"Oh ~" Xue Lin nodded. Those 180 people had been specially trained.
However, since they are my soldiers, I can't let them go.
Xue Lin coughed twice, interrupting the 'touching' reunion between mother and son. The old lady looked over and begged Xue Lin,""Sir, what do you think of my nephew? He will definitely suffer more than my son if he joins the army!”
As she spoke, the old lady pulled a young man in a suit and leather shoes behind her.
"Hello, sir! I, Zhao Qinian, am willing to join the army on behalf of my brother!”The young man smiled apologetically. The gorgeously dressed woman beside him tugged at his sleeve in dissatisfaction.
"Brother Zhao! Sister-in-law!" Zhao Xian's heart tightened. Although life in the military camp was hard, he was full of passion and wholeheartedly devoted to serving the country. He was absolutely unwilling to return.
"Just because you say so?" An arrogant voice came from Xue Lin's mouth.
"Since Zhao Xian joined my army, he is my soldier! Moreover, he had volunteered to join the army. No one had forced him! If you forcefully bring him back, you'll be deserters! In terms of military discipline, deserters should be beheaded!" He raised his head and tried his best to make himself look like a dandy warlord. He looked at people with his nose…
His arrogant appearance made the old lady of the Zhao family and the others anxious. This person in front of them was not a good person. The Jingguan that was piled up with more than a thousand Japanese heads outside the southern gate was his masterpiece.
Old Lady Zhao saw that the 'substitute banishment' was not going to work, so she quickly pulled over the little servant girl who had been supporting her and said to Xue Lin,"Sir! What do you think of this girl?"
"Hmm?" Xue Lin looked over strangely and saw a little girl who was only fourteen or fifteen years old. She looked quite delicate and pretty, shy like a porcelain doll. Her big eyes were full of spirit, and she lowered her head timidly.
"Sir, this little girl of mine escaped from the Central Plains. She learned that…medical skills in Saint Mary's Church. She's just a virgin. You can take her with you if you like. He's still your soldier, so go home and have a grandson!”The old lady was directly using her beauty trap and retreating in order to advance.
"Medical professional?" Xue Lin became interested in the little girl because of this sentence.
Ever since the last battle to recover Spring City, Xue Lin had more than 200 wounded soldiers. He had plundered all the doctors in Spring City to Spring City Hospital to treat the wounded soldiers. Unfortunately, the Red Alert System did not draw any medics, so they could only slowly train some in the training center.
"That's good. I want this girl!”Xue Lin was like an old bandit as he led the little girl, who was trembling like a little rabbit, over.
" Then, sir…" The old lady saw that Xue Lin had accepted a servant girl, and her face was filled with joy.
But then, Xue Lin said arrogantly,"Guards!" Chase these people out!"
"What? Sir! Sir!" As the Zhao family members were in disbelief and panic, a few guards rushed out and chased them a few hundred meters away from the military camp.
" Commander-in-chief…" Seeing that the guards were only using their bare hands to chase them away, Zhao Xian was relieved, but his expression was very awkward.
Xue Lin patted him on the shoulder and encouraged,""A good man should make contributions on the battlefield! You're my soldier. If anyone dares to attack you, ask my gun and your comrades first!”
"Commander-in-chief!" Zhao Xian was filled with hot blood, he instinctively put his legs together and puffed out his chest.
"Let's go back!" Xue Lin waved his hand.
"Yes, sir! Commander-in-chief!" Zhao Xian responded loudly, then turned around and walked away.
Zhen Chen looked at Zhao Xian, who was leaving, and then looked at the little girl who was shivering like a little rabbit in the middle of a group of 'big bad wolfs'. He raised his cold eyebrows and asked Xue Lin,"Commander-in-chief, what about this girl?”
"Throw him to the hospital." Xue Lin said casually.
"Oh."
Because it was very important! So he had to say it three times!
