Song Xiuyan glanced at Song Yang. As he expected, if Song Yang saw General Long Zhanyuan with his own eyes, he would have the idea of joining the army. Song Yang deliberately approached General Long Zhanyuan’s two followers just because he needed them to test him out. He hoped they would have a good word with General Long for him.
Song Xiuyan’s mouth curved up slightly. “If you want to go, I will help you to ask. I guess it will work,” he said in a good mood. He did not want General Long Zhanyuan to know about their complicated background. Therefore, he didn’t say anything about the night attack by the men in black. He was worried that Long Zhanyuan would refuse Song Yang to enter the army. If he wanted to change his life, he had to calculate every aspect.
“After I leave, what about the other siblings? Will they be afraid?” he said. Song Yang was happy but also a little worried. During this period, he and Song Xiuyan divided the work. One to protect the people who went out and the other to protect the family. The danger to the younger siblings at home became doubled if he left.
“You don’t have to worry about this for the time being. After we saved General Long, the local government will soon know that we are the benefactors of General Long Zhanyuan. They will not dare to neglect us. Even if this matter is not publicized, those who want to harm our family will probably be able to get the news. They will have double scruples and stop for a while. And… people can’t just look at the present, but look further. Going to the army is a very good choice. Once you stand high enough, you can protect the family better.” Song Xiuyan shook his head and said.
Song Xiuyan had enough patience with Song Yang to guide him and clarify his future path.
After hearing Song Xiuyan’s words, Song Yang was excited. “Brother, I understand what you mean! I will work hard. From now on you’ll be the main in language and I’ll be the main in battle. We’ll both go hand in hand!” he said. His brother’s goal was to pass the college entrance exam. He wanted to be a top scholar and a big official. Song Yang’s goal was to be a soldier and then an officer.
Song Xiuyan smiled. Good! A soldier who refused to be
a general was not a good soldier. Song Yang’s goal was written on his face. After they returned home, Ding Yao looked at Song Xiuyan. “Did you guys participate in the fight near the school?” she asked. The news of a brawl that happened near the Lingxi High School that caused many people to die had spread throughout the town.
Although the blood on Song Xiuyan and Song Yang’s bodies had been cleaned, the marks were still there. Song Yang had a wound on his arm, which meant they had a life-and-death struggle. Song Xiuyan didn’t want to hide it. “Yes, we happened to pass by there. Since we recognized who was intercepted and killed, so we went up to help. The powder you gave helped us so much.” he nodded and said. Then, he recounted the story again, “Without the powder, there would be more casualties on our side.” Ding Yao had half the credit too.
At this time, Ah-jie rushed in quickly. “Song Yang! I heard that you guys saved a big shot near the school. And you guys were injured?” he asked. He got a little more detailed information than the rumors. The reason why he knew was that the government had called all the doctors in town to the school and treat these three people.
Song Yang laughed out loud: “You are quite well-informed. Even knowing about my injuries. Don’t worry. They are all minor injuries.”
Ah-jie punched Song Yang’s right arm, “Tell me quickly. What kind of big shot did you guys save?”
Song Yang was reminded of Song Xiuyan previously, so he spoke much more smoothly with a smile. “This can not be leaked. It depends on how the government announced,” he said.
After Ah-jie heard it, he was very sensible and stopped asking about it. Then he asked for the details again before going home. In the evening, Song Xiuyan called Ding Yao to the study room. He told her all about his decision and the status of General Long Zhanyuan in Hua Xia.
When Ding Yao knew that Song Xiuyan kept quiet about the blacks who attacked them, she started to reevaluate Song Xiuyan again. This kid… he had a deep scheming. Probably even Song Yi, Song Yu, Song Xue, and others were not aware of his scheming, but he told her all about it because he trusted her. However, Ding Yao admired Song Xiuyan. She might not be able to have such a strategy as Song Xiuyan if she were there.
