Chapter 72 Worry and Fear

Shen Mo felt very satisfied as he listened to the loud voices calling her "sister-in-law".

His face, however, still wore a solemn and dignified expression.

During the day and night, there was rarely a moment of peace. Although there were many people secretly looking over and observing, no one dared to approach their campfire.

Jiang Ning sat silently on the rock. As a doctor, she was used to seeing life and death.

Along the way, she saw many ruins and corpses. Many volunteers who came to help turned pale, but she remained calm.

But just now I saw these soldiers completely disregarding their own health.

When she was lusting after Shen Mo's abs, she noticed some wounds on his body. Some of these wounds were so deep that it was hard to imagine what kind of harm he had suffered.

In that moment of crisis, when she saw someone who didn't care about their injuries, she couldn't utter a word of condemnation, because she knew that at that moment, Shen Mo, and indeed all the soldiers, belonged to the country and the people.

Shen Mo was still enjoying the boys' keen observation when he suddenly noticed that Jiang Ning seemed a little down.

"What's wrong? Are you still cold?" Shen Mo threw dry firewood into the fire and took off his coat to put it on Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning didn't refuse. At this moment, she really wanted to lean on Shen Mo, but he was too dirty, and she felt a little disgusted.

Before Shen Mo could even drape his coat over her shoulders, Jiang Ning shifted slightly and leaned against his shoulder.

As the soft, warm body leaned closer, the unique fragrance emanating from the girl filled his nostrils. Shen Mo stiffened for a moment, but quickly shifted his body to make Jiang Ning more comfortable.

Without stopping, he draped the clothes over Jiang Ning's shoulders.

A slight commotion came from behind him. Shen Mo glanced over with a dark expression, and the rustling sound instantly disappeared.

They all lay down and pretended to be dead.

Jiang Ning leaned back for a while, then suddenly said, "Shen Mo, whether you're saving someone or carrying out a mission, don't neglect your health. I'll worry about you."

His tone was very serious.

Shen Mo was slightly taken aback, feeling as if something was stuffed into his heart, something different from the advice his family had given him.

His family was proud of him, but they never repeatedly told him to take care of himself.

He had seen people who sent their children to join the army before, crying their eyes out and telling them to protect themselves and not get hurt.

Injuries are inevitable for soldiers, and many consider them an honor, a medal for protecting their country and its people.

Now that Jiang Ning knows that Shen Moxin is in love with her, she is afraid that her words will put a burden on him, so she said, "I am worried about you, but I will not stop you. This is the path you have chosen, and I support you in continuing on it."

Hearing her words, Shen Mo felt a pang of sadness. A thousand words were left unsaid, but in the end, they all boiled down to one sentence: "I will take good care of myself."

If he takes good care of himself, his wife won't worry or be sad.

He didn't want to see Jiang Ning sad and upset.

Jiang Ning reached out and hugged his arm, feeling much better because of his words. "I know that you soldiers are prepared to sacrifice yourselves at any time. In that case, you should cherish your bodies even more. Only by protecting yourselves can you save more people."

In this quiet area, they weren't talking privately; their voices weren't loud, but they were loud enough for the surrounding soldiers to hear.

Especially the soldier who refused to get treatment, suddenly felt like a bastard.

Waaah, my sister-in-law is absolutely right!

—

For the next few days, Jiang Ning did not see Shen Mo.

Upon hearing that the neighboring village was buried under rocks due to a landslide caused by an aftershock, Shen Mo and his team were dispatched to provide assistance.

During this period, new patients were continuously sent to the relief tents, and some patients whose illnesses were not serious were also arranged to be sent out of the disaster area.

Otherwise, the rescue tents would be completely insufficient.

The casualties were too heavy, so another medical team arrived along with the supplies.

A medical team has arrived, reportedly led by two authoritative doctors from a major hospital.

With their arrival, Jiang Ning managed to catch her breath.

She was too tired to think about anything else these past few days, but whenever she had a spare moment, she couldn't help but think about Shen Mo. She had heard that the village where the landslide occurred was in serious condition.

The village was originally located in a depression surrounded by mountains. The earthquake didn't do much damage to the village, but then the mountain suddenly collapsed, and huge rocks rolled down, causing disaster to the village.

The patients brought in were all in increasingly serious condition. Some cried and pleaded to see their loved ones, but no one dared to respond. In the face of this disaster, their loved ones were likely in grave danger.

Jiang Ning was very worried about Shen Mo.

In the face of disaster, even the most capable person is insignificant.

Two days later, Jiang Ning had just finished bandaging a patient's wound when there was a sudden commotion outside.

Then a soldier covered in mud and blood ran into their shed and shouted, "Quick, quick, get a doctor! A deputy regimental commander was hit by a boulder, he's bleeding a lot from the back of his head, and he's passed out!"

Immediately, doctors in white coats ran out.

Jiang Ning's mind went blank, and her palms began to go numb.

Deputy Regiment Commander?

Shen Mo's position is deputy regimental commander.

She didn't know how she got out of the tent. There was a person lying on a makeshift stretcher outside. Jiang Ning's heart trembled when she saw the blood on the ground.

Several medical staff surrounded the stretcher, making it impossible to see who was inside.

Jiang Ning walked over, her hands and feet numb, her vision blurry. She circled around before finally finding an empty spot and squeezing in, finally getting a clear look at the other person's face—

My heart, which had suddenly stopped beating, started beating again.

It's not Shen Mo.

But the other party was seriously injured.

A doctor was examining the soldier. "The back of his head is severely injured, and there is a lot of bleeding. I suggest stopping the bleeding quickly, and then we can discuss a treatment plan."

The doctors all agreed with him, and the group quickly took the person into the makeshift treatment shed, which was set up by the medical team that arrived later specifically to treat seriously injured patients.

Jiang Ning briefly observed the patient. The patient had suffered a severe head injury, which would definitely lead to cerebral hemorrhage. Even with emergency treatment, the patient probably wouldn't wake up.

This patient needs surgery.

With so many doctors, there shouldn't be any need for her, so Jiang Ning returned to the rescue tent.

When she sat down to rest, her palms were sweaty.

She's being too easily frightened; Shen Mo is so powerful...

But as soon as she closed her eyes, the face of the man lying on the stretcher would involuntarily appear in her mind. If it were Shen Mo's face, she dared not imagine how she would feel at that time.

Jiang Ning leaned against her resting spot and closed her eyes to rest. She fell asleep while resting, and she thought she heard someone touch her twice.

She suddenly opened her eyes, as if she had been startled awake, her forehead covered in cold sweat.

Once the thought that Shen Mo might get hurt took root in her mind, she couldn't shake it off.

She needs to get busy now, yes, she absolutely has to get busy.

The more people she saved, the less Shen Mo had to worry about.
