Chapter 48

Twenty minutes later, the old Chinese medicine doctor had finished the meal and came out to call Zhang Qianxiu: "the meal is ready. Come in and have a meal."

Zhang Qianxiu immediately put down his book and went into the back room.

There is a kitchen and a bedroom in the back room, which is just enough for the old people. They eat in the kitchen.

As for Huang enquan and Zhang Jiankang, they brought them after Zhang Qianxiu finished eating.

The food to be taken to Huang enquan has been packed.

After Zhang Qianxiu sat down, the old Chinese medicine doctor said, "your character is too straight and impatient. It's not good for you."

As Zhang Qianxiu ate, he thought about his style of doing things. No matter at home or outside, he did have some straightforwardness. With a bitter smile, he said, "I've been used to it for so many years."

The old doctor said, "remember I told you that you are very like a person I know?"

Zhang Qianxiu nodded: "remember, you said I was stubborn at that time."

The old Chinese medicine doctor nodded: "he is a veteran. Once, we were ambushed and were retreating. The platoon leader was shot and fell outside the trench. Before he died, he wanted to throw a bag into the trench, where there were more than ten posthumous letters from his comrades in arms. The old soldier rushed out of the trench for more than a dozen of his comrades in arms' letters and was shot five or six times. He threw the bag back and lost his life. "

"In fact, in those days, a lot of posthumous letters couldn't reach their families. But he felt that it was the last wish of his comrades in arms and rushed out regardless of everything. "

Zhang Qianxiu agreed with and admired the veterans mentioned by the old Chinese medicine doctor. He nodded heavily: "in fact, what he did is right. Many people can't make such sacrifices."

"He was the only sniper we had at the time, and his shooting was accurate. No one should have gone to pick up the letters, but we were retreating along the trench, and no one thought of going out to pick up the letters. " The old Chinese medicine doctor was silent for a moment, and said: "later when we broke through, if he was there, we would die at least half of the people."

"I don't blame him. He is a hero. I just want to tell you that sometimes forbearance is for more people and more important things."

"Do you think he is doing this right or wrong?"

Zhang Qianxiu was silent for a moment. At that time, the hero clearly knew that going out might be death. He could not let his comrades in arms die, so he went by himself. Is there any right or wrong? In Zhang Qianxiu's opinion, there is no right or wrong in this matter.

Zhang Qianxiu said, "there is no right or wrong in this matter."

The old doctor shook his head: "there are right and wrong! Standing in his position, he just made a choice, but from the perspective of a commander, it was a wrong sacrifice. "

"The commander can't think too much about the dead. He must think about the living. The commander's responsibility is to win the war and let as many people live as possible."

"It's the same with your business. A boss can't lose his sense for a little gain and loss. You should learn to look at the whole situation."

Zhang Qianxiu didn't do business in his last life. He didn't do it for a long time in this life, but he also felt a little bit: "what you said is true."

The old Chinese medicine doctor continued: "your temperament is very straight. You are easy to lose your mind when you get angry. In fact, you are not suitable to be a commander. The commander should know forbearance and choice. You can only do what you think is right. You are more suitable to be a soldier."

Zhang Qianxiu did not agree with the old Chinese medicine, retorted: "are we wrong in doing the right thing?"

"That's right!" The old Chinese medicine doctor said: "I'll tell you another thing. Once, the enemy's front-line ammunition was almost finished, and we were ready to take advantage of this time to make the final attack. We received the task to destroy an ammunition transport team of the enemy and cut off their ammunition supply. After receiving the task, we hid in a small village they had to pass through. Only a dozen families died in the village.

"When the enemy's vanguard passed through the village, he found some clues and pressed the villagers. If the villagers didn't say anything, they would kill them. All of us were watching at that time. As soon as the commander gave us an order, we started at once. "

"We were in the dark at that time, and the number of people was more than ten times that of them. We could solve it easily. But if we solve them, the ammunition transport team will certainly be on guard. It is very likely that we will retreat or increase the number of troops to transport, so that we will not be able to defeat them. After they killed all the villagers, they searched the village and did not find out the problem before they let the ammunition transport team come. We originally intended to sacrifice more than half of the people to win this victory, but in the end we only sacrificed less than one third of the people. "

"What should we do when they kill the villagers? We can certainly save it, but shall we save it or not? "

Zhang Qianxiu was silent.

This is an unsolved problem.

"In fact, sometimes things are not right or wrong, just different places," the old Chinese doctor told Zhang Qianxiu

Zhang Qianxiu thought about what he had done all the way and said, "Mr. old man, I admit what you said is very reasonable. There are some things that are not right or wrong, but I don't seem to have done anything wrong with these things that I have encountered."

The old doctor shook his head slightly: "no, that's because you don't see the essence of things. There can't be such a bloody contrast as war in this era, but you have to see the essence of things."

"You fight with these little gangsters one after another. They offend you first. It's their fault. The little gangster is like the enemy who slaughters the villagers. Your dignity is like the villagers. Your body is the war we want to win. You chose to save the villagers. "

Zhang Qianxiu thought for a moment and shook his head: "your analogy is not right. My relationship is not so serious."

After seeing Zhang Qianxiu for a while, the old Chinese medicine doctor said, "I read at the age of three, studied Chinese medicine at the age of five, and studied Chinese medicine at the age of six. Later, I joined the army and studied western medicine. Western medicine has a quick effect, and is more suitable than traditional Chinese medicine in the battlefield; But I prefer traditional Chinese medicine, because traditional Chinese medicine treats people first and can see the essence better. "

"Dignity is different in the eyes of different people. In the eyes of small minded people, dignity is victory and defeat, gain and loss, and vanity of face; But in the eyes of the magnanimous, dignity is inheritance, strength, benevolence, righteousness, propriety and faith. "

"I will treat you differently because you pay attention to benevolence, righteousness, propriety and faithfulness in your heart, but when you get angry, you will easily lose your mind and become a winner and loser."

Zhang Qianxiu was silent. For the first time, he had a conflict with a rice dealer. He wanted to avoid it; The second time he had a conflict with a gangster, he had already avoided it and didn't want to get into trouble; This time, he always starts first, because he doesn't want to give little gangsters a chance.

He was the same at home, always thinking about talking to his father, but he always left when he saw that his father was angry.

Zhang Qianxiu also felt that as long as he was on fire, he would be indifferent and desperate.

"I seem to understand something, old man." Zhang Qianxiu said respectfully.

The old doctor of traditional Chinese medicine gave a little smile, which was rare for him to smile: "the metaphor I used before is to tell you that your body will not be able to stand it one day after you toss and turn every day. These days when I know you, your injuries will be a little more every few days. The old injuries are not good, and the new ones are coming again. It looks like you are not a businessman, but like a gangster. The body is the capital. Think about why people in business don't get hurt like you, but you get hurt every so often. "

"I understand. Even if the little gangsters come to me, they won't go too far. I'll try not to do it." Zhang Qianxiu said.

The old doctor nodded with satisfaction: "that's right, but don't lose your spirit. It's good for young people to have the spirit. You should do it, but don't do it meaninglessly. If you win a fight, and then take hundreds of medical expenses from those little gangsters, I can cure you. After all, it's not equal to your injury. Any injury is a loss to your body."

"What's more, I've told you so much. It's not only about fighting, but also dealing with people and business."

Zhang Qianxiu replied, "I see, old man."
