After dinner, Jiang Qiao sat in the room watching Ye Qiufeng fall asleep again, feeling worried. She had managed to save him temporarily, but she didn't know how long he could hold on.

Although she has finished reading the books "Heavenly Physician" and "Witch Physician," she has not yet reached the point of fully understanding them. To be honest, there are some things she is forcing herself to do now.

He got up, went out, poured some water from his spatial storage, took out the nourishing pills he had prepared, mixed them with honey water, stirred them well, and then carried them into the house.

Sun Changlin and the others came over to help and woke Ye Qiufeng up. "Uncle, drink the medicine first. Don't worry about whether it works or not, let's try it. I've already spoken to the leader. It seems that someone else is looking for you, so you have to hold on for the sake of that person."

Ye Qiufeng wondered who would still care about him at this time? He had heard that his family members were all dead.

With a sigh and a nod, Jiang Qiao fed Ye Qiufeng the medicine and waited a while before giving him acupuncture again. This time, she changed the acupuncture points.

Ye Qiufeng collapsed from exhaustion and fell asleep again. Jiang Qiao got up and looked at Zhou Baorui.

"Uncle, you should go back first. That's all we can do for now. I'll wait here."

Zhou Baorui nodded. "Okay, I'll come over after the meeting tomorrow. The county doctor and the people from the armed forces department should be arriving soon. If you need anything, just tell them."

As evening approached, people from the armed forces department, accompanied by doctors from the hospital and personnel from the commune, arrived.

The doctor at the county hospital also examined Ye Qiufeng and said the same thing Jiang Qiao had said before: "Give him whatever he can eat; injections and medicine are no longer very effective."

No sooner had he finished speaking than another group of people arrived outside, and a truckload of soldiers drove in.

Jiang Qiao didn't recognize the leader, but upon learning that he was a local garrison soldier, and that everyone had arrived, Jiang Qiao asked someone to find the village chief to help solve their food and lodging problems as soon as possible.

"Comrade Jiang Qiao, don't worry, we've brought all the food. If you need anything, just let us know."

Jiang Qiao really didn't stand on ceremony with these people. Since there was food and plenty of vegetables in the countryside, she could just find someone to help cook.

"You guys help the old man take a bath, give him a haircut and a shave. He's still conscious, so let's hurry up and do something for him."

Jiang Qiao had already prepared the ginseng soup. She woke up Ye Qiufeng and had the old man drink the soup first. Then she fed him some bird's nest porridge.

"Uncle, how about we take a shower first, and change into something fresh and clean—"

Ye Qiufeng grasped Jiang Qiao's hand and nodded with a smile, "Good girl, I'm counting on you."

Ye Qiufeng and Jiang Qiao both understood what was going on. The old man wasn't unaware of his own health; on the contrary, he knew better than anyone that he was enduring it all.

This girl has been working hard ever since she arrived, and he has seen it all. Unfortunately, her life is nearing its end, and it's truly beyond his control.

He wanted to cooperate well with the child, but alas, fate is beyond his control.

After Jiang Qiao gave these instructions, everyone got to work, and the village chief discussed the follow-up matters with the military representatives and the armed forces department.

There were also people here who specifically spoke with Sun Changlin, mainly to understand the situation of that blocking battle back then.

After a flurry of activity, Ye Qiufeng was also sent back. It was good to have someone help him; he was given a new set of clothes, both inside and out, and they were all military uniforms. Most importantly, his beard and hair were also well-groomed, making him look much more energetic.

Whether it was because he drank the ginseng soup or because he took a bath and changed into his military uniform, Ye Qiufeng's spirits were lifted. He had been drowsy before, but now he was full of energy.

Jiang Qiao gave him some more milk. "Uncle, if you need to go to the toilet, just say so. There are many of us, so we won't mind the trouble. Please don't hold it in."

Ye Qiufeng nodded with a smile, "I know, young lady, your name is Jiang Qiao, right?"

Jiang Qiao nodded, and Ye Qiufeng sighed, "I used to have a comrade-in-arms who also had a younger sister named Jiang Qiao. When we had nothing to do, this guy would always talk about how wonderful his sister was."

Sun Changlin, who was standing nearby, picked up the conversation, "You mean Jiang Tianyou, right?"

Upon hearing this name, Jiang Qiao looked at Ye Qiufeng with eager eyes, "What happened to your comrade-in-arms? Where did he go afterward?"

Ye Qiufeng sighed, "He's dead. I heard he also had an older brother, a regimental commander, who also died in the line of duty—"

Although she had been mentally prepared, Jiang Qiao still couldn't help but feel heartbroken when she heard news of her two older brothers again. She secretly turned her head away and wiped away a tear.

"They are all heroes, worthy of our respect. Uncle, do you know where they are buried?"

Ye Qiufeng and Sun Changlin both shook their heads. "Those who sacrificed their lives are basically buried locally. That's how cruel war is—"

Jiang Qiao's eyes welled up with tears, but she had to hold them back. "The green hills are everywhere, burying the bones of the loyal. As long as their heroic spirits remain, no one will dare to bully us again."

People from the armed forces and the troops nodded with deep feeling. "Yes, the green hills are everywhere, burying loyal bones. With these heroes guarding us, and with us, their descendants, our country will only become stronger and stronger."

Jiang Qiao casually asked about Jiang Tianyou's situation. How did her brother end up joining the army after falling into the river and getting injured?

"Speaking of which, Jiang Tianyou is quite lucky. I heard that he was injured and fell into the river, but was rescued by our troops. After he recovered, he joined the army."

I heard that his elderly father, sister, and nephew were still at home, but sadly, they've all been separated and can't be found. It's likely that his family won't be able to be informed of his sacrifice.

Jiang Qiao silently got up and walked out of the house. She sat quietly outside, gazing at the starry sky. No one knew what she was thinking at that moment.

"Jiang Qiao, Jiang Qiao—"

The urgent shouts outside jolted Jiang Qiao awake from her reverie.

Standing up, Jiang Qiao took a few steps and was stunned when she saw the people who had appeared in the courtyard. Several people, both men and women, walked into the courtyard, and she recognized the one in the lead.

"Grandpa Zhao? What brings you here?"

Zhao Anbang grabbed Jiang Qiao and asked, "Girl, where is that Ye Qiufeng?"

Jiang Qiao pointed into the house, where the woman following Zhao Anbang rushed in like a gust of wind. Then Jiang Qiao heard a heart-wrenching cry.

Zhao Anbang glanced at the somewhat stunned Jiang Qiao, gave a wry smile, and said, "Girl, we'll talk later. I'm going to go see the person first—"

Jiang Qiao didn't understand the relationship between Ye Qiufeng and Zhao Anbang. Judging from their demeanor, they clearly knew each other, and their relationship was quite close.

However, she was somewhat envious of the woman in the room. The other woman could cry as she pleased, but she couldn't even cry openly for her family. She missed her two brothers, and she wanted to cry her heart out too.

If crying could bring them back, she would rather cry herself to death in exchange for her two brothers returning.
