Xiao Qingyin smiled.

This person always takes the lead and faces difficulties head-on, never caring about his own status or whether he should take the risk.

He was born with a heroic spirit.

This is what she particularly admires about him.

She's good-looking, talented, and has great taste.

Such a man is hard to find. If Tianzhu allowed her to bring her family, she would definitely take him back with her.

She wanted to let those bad friends know that she also had her lucky moments.

I wonder how they are doing now. When they get together and feast, do they ever think of her?

Realizing her thoughts had drifted off, she quickly pulled herself back and said to Yi Shuihan, "I'll go with you."

Yi Shuihan: "???"

"I'm going to fight a war, not to go sightseeing. What are you going to do with me?"

"Where there is fighting, there will be casualties. Don't you need a medical team?"

Xiao Qingyin asked in return.

"The group of people I'm leading now have theory but no practical experience, so this is a good opportunity for them to get some experience."

Yi Shuihan hesitated for a moment.

Xiao Qingyin's reasoning was valid, but...

Are you worried that if Nandan is defeated, our medical team will not return?

Yi Shuihan glared at her.

Does she have so little faith in him?

When has he ever lost a battle?

"I'm worried that the battlefield is indiscriminate and I won't be able to take care of you."

"The medical team isn't a frontline assault team. We're just providing support from the rear, not charging into battle. What's there to worry about?"

Xiao Qingyin chuckled.

"As long as you don't lose the battle, we will be in no danger."

Having said that, Yi Shuihan had no choice but to agree.

"Okay, let's go together then."

Xiao Qingyin selected one hundred people to join the medical team, including Guan Hongdou.

After receiving her treatment, Guan Hongdou's health gradually recovered, and her appearance changed a lot. Now she looks like a beautiful young woman.

He's just a bit too tall.

But being tall also has its advantages; when caring for a patient, you can lift the patient up without needing anyone's help.

Healthcare professionals have a natural advantage.

Guan Yongde initially disagreed with her studying medicine and hoped that she would take the national civil service exam and find an administrative job.

Guan Hongdou refused, even at the cost of her life.

"I want to study medicine and become a doctor as skilled as Sister Xiao."

They went on a hunger strike to protest this.

Guan Yongde had no choice but to agree.

He often sighed, feeling that he had wasted so many years of teaching her knowledge.

Xiao Qingyin, however, disagreed.

Guan Hongdou is literate and has a strong learning ability. She can understand medical books at a glance and progresses faster than many of her classmates who started earlier.

If she had more practical experience, Xiao Qingyin would have wanted to make her a teaching assistant.

I brought her out this time because I wanted her to grow up faster.

Guan Hongdou was deeply grateful and was as attentive as a little bee the whole way, wishing she could feed Xiao Qingyin all her food, which made Xiao Qingyin both amused and exasperated.

"You don't need to worry about me. Just take care of yourself. There are carriages on flat roads now, but going into the mountains will require hiking. Make sure you are well prepared."

Guan Hongdou said confidently, "My grandfather and I often go to the mountains to collect folk songs, so walking on mountain paths is no problem for me."

Xiao Qingyin laughed and said, "The mountains here are different from those outside the Holy City. There might not even be any roads here."

After hearing her words, Guan Hongdou went to sharpen her knife.

Yi Shuihan led 20,000 troops, and in order to reach the battlefield more quickly, he did not take the winding county and township roads, but instead crossed the mountains.

These mountains are rarely visited by anyone, except for hunters who occasionally venture into them to hunt.

The wild grass and shrubs grew taller than a person, so you had to clear a path as you walked.

It's the rainy season now, and it rains heavily from time to time. When it rains, the mountain roads become muddy and difficult to walk on.

After only two days in the mountains, many soldiers fell ill.

Fortunately, a medical team was there to provide timely treatment, which prevented the trip from being affected.

Because it's not easy to cook in the mountains, they've been eating dry rations these days.

Xiao Qingyin wanted to improve their food supply, so she and the medical team smoked out many beehives along the way and collected hundreds of beehives.

They dug up all the mushrooms they encountered along the way, and each person carried a basket on their back.

Upon arriving at their destination, Yi Shuihan ordered his men to catch a large number of wild boars, rabbits, and pheasants so that the soldiers, who had been traveling for several days, could have a good meal.

Xiao Qingyin unloaded all the fat from the wild boar.

After blanching the vegetables, I made a pot of oil. When it was almost done, I added some ginger, scallions, and Sichuan peppercorns to remove any fishy smell.

Then put the bee pupae in to fry.

Fry until golden brown and crispy, then scoop them out, sprinkle with chili salt, and you have a fragrant little snack.

When the gifts were distributed to the soldiers, these tall and strong men were almost moved to tears.

What an extravagant way to eat!

They usually don't use oil when cooking, let alone fry bee pupae.

Bee pupae are usually roasted and eaten directly.

This fried bee pupae is absolutely delicious.

They couldn't bear to finish them all at once, so they chewed them slowly, one by one, savoring their crisp and refreshing taste.

After finishing, I wished I could have ten or eight more servings.

Unfortunately, only half a pot of oil remained in the large pot.

Yi Wu found a bunch of mountain crabs in a nearby mountain stream, wrapped them in a teak leaf the size of a washbasin, and brought them back to show Xiao Qingyin.

"Is this edible?"

“Yes,” Xiao Qingyin replied. “Although there’s not much meat, it’s quite fragrant when deep-fried and has a nice crunch.”

Yi Wu's spirits lifted.

"There are still many in the stream, I'll go catch some more."

He brought Yi San and the others with him.

Seeing this, the other soldiers also rushed to the stream, and soon returned with more than a dozen baskets of mountain crabs.
