Traveling through the Republic of China, I married a dead person

The clan leader immediately asked, "Xu, Xu Tianyi?"

This is different from the name on the ID.

However, he understood immediately: "You are the Military Control Commission, carrying out secret missions, and usually use fake names. This hero has died for his country, so naturally you have to use his real name on his tombstone."

The clan leader knows a lot, he even knows that most of the missions carried out by the Military Control Commission are secret.

This is fine. Then Zi Yan and I will recover from our injuries here under the fake identities of Commander Wang and Commander Liu.

Su Bai gave the men's military uniform to the clan leader and asked him to put it on Xu Tianyi when he was buried.

Let him leave in a soldier's attire.

He is a soldier, always has been.

After giving instructions to the clan leader, Su Bai's nose felt sore again.

……

The doctor and his apprentice came to change the medicine for Su Bai and Wan Qili every day. They were all Chinese medicine. The doctor said more than once that this was his family's secret recipe passed down from generation to generation. Both external and internal applications were secret recipes. No one knew how many secret recipes his family had passed down from generation to generation.

Three days passed and Wan Qili recovered well. However, Su Bai, whose injuries were much lighter than hers, found that his wound might become infected.

Today is September 9th, and tomorrow is the day Xu Tianyi will be buried.

The burial date was decided by Su Bai, who specifically chose October 10st.

Su Bai was superstitious for once. Doesn’t it always say that people will be reincarnated after death?

She chose the birthday of the future Republic, hoping that Xu Tianyi could be reborn with the Republic on this day.

That morning, Su Bai planned to ask Zi Yan to invite the clan leader over to inquire about the burial preparations and how much it would cost.

She didn't want Dahuai Village to bear the cost, as she still had 7 gold bars and dozens of dollars on her.

Although this amount was far less than the nearly 300 gold bars he brought with him to Shanghai, this money was probably more than the total assets of all the villagers in Dahuai Village.

Su Bai had actually made up his mind that when he recovered from his injuries and left, he would leave all the money to Dahuai Village, except for the necessary expenses.

The clan leader came soon and told Su Bai that everything was ready and the funeral procession had been organized.

"Funeral? Procession?" Su Bai felt that such formalities were unnecessary.

But the patriarch persisted in his ideas and practices, which he considered indispensable.

Moreover, this was voluntary on the part of the villagers.

Su Bai remembered what the person who told him behind his back when he first entered the village had said: every time a death notice arrived in the village, the whole village had to hang a white flag.

"Thank you, Patriarch." This kindness could no longer be refused.

"There's just one thing..." The patriarch showed an embarrassed expression.

"Patriarch, you say."

The clan leader said that they have a custom here, which is unique to Dahuai Village among the surrounding villages. It may have been brought here by their ancestors when they migrated hundreds of years ago.

When the deceased is buried, money should be placed in his mouth in the hope that he will be rich and powerful in the next life.

The people of Dahuai Village were poor, so they would put a copper coin in the mouth of the deceased.

But he felt that Xu Yishi was different, and it would be too unfair for him to hold a copper coin in his mouth.

He wanted to put a silver dollar in Xu Tianyi's mouth.

However, no one in the village had silver dollars.

The several hundred French francs that the two guys took back from the Japanese' briefcase a few days ago could be exchanged for some dollars, but in the past two days he sent people to the county town with French francs but still couldn't exchange them.

The main reason is that the exchange rate of legal tender to the US dollar changes every day. Some time ago, 30 legal tenders could be exchanged for one US dollar, but now it has become 50 legal tenders for one US dollar.

Seeing that the legal tender is becoming less valuable day by day, no one is willing to exchange their dollars for legal tender.

“I don’t know, Commander Wang…” The clan leader’s meaning was clear, so half a sentence would suffice.

"I have some dollars here. The clan leader should have told me earlier, so that we wouldn't have to go through so much trouble." Su Bai asked Zi Yan to take out 10 dollars and give them to the clan leader.

"No way!" The clan leader waved his hands repeatedly: "One piece is enough!"

Su Bai told him that we have sufficient funds to carry out the mission.

Besides, we have discipline and will not take a single penny from the masses.

This sentence made me dizzy. Does the national army have such discipline or regulations?

I'm used to talking nonsense and it becomes natural to me.

Now that I have come to this point, I might as well finish it.

Eating and healing cost money, and the villagers must not be asked to bear this money. Once the higher-ups find out, they will be punished.

This made the clan leader confused. Many soldiers had left the village, but this was the first time he had heard of such a rule.

In any case, the patriarch accepted the money.

Su Bai asked the doctor, and he or his apprentice came early in the morning to change the medicine for Su Bai and Wan Qili in the past few days, but today it was already mid-morning and no one was there.

Su Bai was worried about his wound. There was already redness and swelling around it, and the wound was starting to feel hot.

If it is not controlled in time, large-scale infection is almost inevitable within a few days.

By then, without penicillin, no one could save the situation.

"Oh, maybe there's an emergency doctor. Don't worry, Commander Wang. He'll be here soon after he finishes his work."

The clan leader didn't know the seriousness of the problem. He thought that Su Bai and the others had reached the stage of slowly recuperating from their injuries. If they ate well, took good supplements and got enough rest, they would recover faster. Otherwise, it would be slower.

In short, it will definitely be fine.

Su Bai couldn't say anything else and could only wait for the doctor.

The doctor came in the afternoon, sweating profusely.

Upon asking, I found out that he was delivering a baby.

Oh my god, this guy is good at farting with all his strength.

These days, midwives are the ones who deliver babies. Due to the influence of conservative customs and feudal ideas, men are not used as midwives.

This doctor is a bit magical. Not only can he deliver babies, but people are also willing to use him without fear of worldly notions.

It is definitely a rare thing.

After examining Su Bai's wound, the doctor actually said that it was normal!

The external medicine remained unchanged, and the dressing change time was increased. The prescription for Su Bai's internal medicine was changed, which was also a secret recipe passed down from ancestors.

There is no other way but to rely on his various secret recipes passed down from his ancestors. It's like hitting the jackpot.

Looking at Su Bai's helpless look, Wan Qili smiled.

Although Wan Qili tried to show Su Bai a smile from time to time in the past few days, her facial muscles did not support it.

Today, she really smiled, although only half of her face.

Su Bai also laughed, and laughed until tears came out.

For Su Bai, the torment of these few days was something he had never experienced before.

It was not because of his own injury, but because of Wan Qili.

From time to time, I would think of the heart-wrenching "sister" that Xu Tianyi called out to me before he died in my arms.

More than once she heard Wan Qili sobbing quietly in the dead of night.

Every time, Su Bai felt heartbroken.

Half of her face was destroyed, more than half of her teeth were gone, and her tongue was damaged. She might not even be able to speak clearly in the future. It goes without saying what this means for a young girl in her prime.

But Wan Qili always wants to show her smile to Su Bai and Zi Yan during the day. How strong is she?

Today, she did it.
