Chapter 138 Meeting Zhou Weiguo

What shocked Shen Lingning even more was that she clearly felt that not only had a faint spiritual connection with Fubao been restored, but deep in her heart, the originally dead space seemed to have undergone subtle changes.

The seedling of the spiritual tea tree grew a little taller, and its tender green leaves seemed to contain vitality. A few more drops of water seeped out from the bottom of the spring, gathering into a small puddle, exuding a faint, refreshing scent.

The space... is really recovering with Fubao's improvement and Zhou Weiguo's possible awakening!

Just as the troops were cleaning up the scene and preparing to evacuate, the officer in charge became very excited after receiving the report from the communicator. He quickly walked up to Shen Lingning and lowered his voice.

But he couldn't hide his excitement and said, "Comrade Shen Lingning! We just received an emergency notice from the military hospital! Comrade Zhou Weiguo... he's awake!"

"Weiguo... is awake?"

Shen Lingning raised his head suddenly, he couldn't believe his ears!

The huge surprise instantly overwhelmed her like a tsunami, making her dizzy and almost unable to stand.

She had waited for this day for so long!

Fubao got better and her husband woke up. The double joy made her burst into tears.

"Absolutely true!"

The officer nodded affirmatively. "According to the hospital, Commander Zhou regained consciousness about half an hour ago. Although he's still very weak, his vital signs are stable! This is truly a double blessing!"

Wang Xiulan was also overjoyed when she heard this, and she kept saying, "That's great! God has opened his eyes! Weiguo is awake, and Fubao is fine too!"

The troops quickly arranged vehicles and personnel to escort Shen Lingning, Fubao, Mr. Chen and Wang Xiulan down the mountain and return to Chen's house in Xinghua Village for temporary settlement. At the same time, they sent a small team to escort the prisoners and continue to clear out the remnants of the Yaowang Valley tomb-robbing gang.

Zhao Changhe also called personally from the military region, his voice loud and clear with immense relief: "Lingning! Good boy! You and Fubao are fine, and Weiguo is awake too!

You and your family are all great! Rest well at Mr. Chen's place first. Once things are settled here, I'll arrange to take you back to the military area!"

When we returned to Mr. Chen's home, although we had experienced a thrilling incident, the house was now filled with joy and hope of surviving the disaster.

With the continued care of Mr. Chen and the little bit of resuscitating spiritual spring water that Shen Lingning quietly fed him, Fubao's condition continued to improve and he was even able to drink some rice soup.

Shen Lingning stayed by Fubao's side, watching Fubao's face gradually turn rosy as he slept, his heart filled with an unprecedented sense of security.

However, despite the apparent calm, the undercurrent has not completely subsided.

During the crackdown, the troops discovered that this group of tomb robbers was well-organized and seemed to be involved in a hidden cultural relics smuggling chain.

Furthermore, they have deep ties with corrupt grassroots cadres, such as the captains and militia companies of villages like Xinghua Village and nearby Heilongtan. Interrogations are underway, striving to uncover deeper layers of corruption.

That evening, when Shen Lingning was feeding Fubao water, Mr. Chen walked over thoughtfully.

He whispered, "Little Lingning, Fubao's rapid recovery this time is certainly due to the right medicine, but I always feel... there seems to be an inexplicable 'vitality' protecting this child, otherwise the medicine would not be so effective so quickly and miraculously. Have you... ever encountered any strange opportunities?"

The old man has been practicing medicine all his life and has an extremely keen sense, as if he has sensed something.

Shen Lingning was shocked, but his face remained calm. How should he respond?

After two days of rest in Xinghua Village, Fubao's condition was basically stable. He could already walk a few steps slowly on the ground and tried to speak in babbling voices. His big eyes regained their former spirit, which made Shen Lingning and Wang Xiulan's hearts melt.

Mr. Chen also prepared some pills to strengthen the body and nourish the essence for Shen Lingning to take with him.

The jeep arranged by Zhao Changhe himself arrived at the village entrance to pick them up and take them back to the provincial military region.

Before leaving, Shen Lingning tightly held Mr. Chen's hand, expressing his gratitude: "Old sir, I will never forget your life-saving grace! If you need me, Shen Lingning, in the future, please just let me know!"

Old Mr. Chen waved his hand and looked at Fubao in her arms kindly: "It's a doctor's duty. As long as the child is okay, it's good. Your family reunion is a great joy. Go back quickly, Captain Zhou is still waiting for you."

Along the way, Shen Lingning held Fubao in his arms, looking at the fields and villages passing by outside the window, feeling a thousand emotions in his heart.

This time, she searched for medicine in the mountains and risked her life several times. Not only did she save her daughter, but she also seemed to bring new life to that mysterious space. More importantly, her husband Zhou Weiguo woke up!

All the suffering and hard work seem worth it at this moment.

Fubao seemed to feel his mother's happy mood. He twisted restlessly in her arms, pointed at the cows and sheep outside the window with his little hand, said "sheep, sheep, sheep", and drooled at his mouth. He was so cute.

It’s just that Shen Lingning didn’t understand Fubao’s eagerness to eat mutton hot pot.

Wang Xiulan watched from the side, wiping away tears and smiling: "Look at our Fubao, he survived a great disaster and will surely have good fortune in the future! I wonder how happy he will be when he goes back to see his dad!"

Thinking of seeing Zhou Weiguo who was about to wake up, Shen Lingning's heartbeat could not help but speed up.

She imagined his expression when he saw Fubao recover and their safe return, and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously.

At the same time, she was also keenly aware that the Yaowang Valley tomb robbery case involved a lot of people. Although it had come to an end for the time being, the subsequent investigation and handling might still cause some trouble.

Moreover, Mr. Chen's meaningful words also reminded her that she needed to guard the secret of the space more carefully.

The secret of the space should not be known to anyone except her and Fubao. As for Zhou Weiguo, she really didn't know how to explain this incredible space?

The jeep drove smoothly into the provincial military district compound, where medical staff and neighbors who had already received the news were waiting.

As soon as the car stopped, Shen Lingning got out of the car holding Fubao, and saw at a glance that at the door of the hospital building, a man in a hospital gown, still thin but with a straight back, pale face but surprisingly bright eyes, was sitting in a wheelchair, pushed by a nurse.

His eyes eagerly passed through the crowd and fell accurately on her and Fubao in her arms - it was Zhou Weiguo!

Our eyes met, thousands of words stuck in our throats. At that moment, time seemed to stand still.

The silver bracelet on Shen Lingning's wrist gave off a clear and incomparable warmth, and the spiritual spring in the space seemed to surge happily along with it... A new life was about to begin, but the road ahead seemed to indicate that it would not be completely peaceful.

What Shen Lingning didn't know was that during the time Fubao was being treated, the tea mountain had already been turned upside down. If she didn't go back, the tea mountain would be lost.
