This morning, An Moxue did not get up to practice her boxing. Although she had figured things out yesterday and did not have nightmares last night, she did not sleep very well.

What she didn't know was that Wu Sicheng hadn't slept much all night, keeping an eye on her to make sure she couldn't sleep and had nightmares.

Although the swelling on the back of my hand has subsided after applying ointment, it is still bruised and I can still feel a slight pain.

She didn't get up until everyone was awake, then she did some simple stretching and took the two little ones for a walk around the neighborhood.

When she returned, they had already discussed the search direction and methods. The group quickly finished breakfast and continued their search in separate groups.

Before noon, something heartbreaking happened. They found another companion, but he was unconscious, with an inflamed leg, a high fever, and other injuries. An Moxue treated his wounds. He couldn't take any fever reducers, so she ground them into powder, mixed them with water, and had him take them in several doses. Even acupuncture with silver needles couldn't wake him up.

Life was in danger. Wu Sicheng took out a map and found that the shortest route down the mountain to the village would only take a day and a half. This village was the same village of the skinny old man who was good friends with Old Ma, Laoye Ridge Village, now called Hongqi Village.

They finally decided to make a stretcher, which Wang Mang and Dong Kun would carry out along the shortest route out of the mountains. Their injuries were not serious, so they could move at full speed and gain the shortest possible time. Wu Sicheng and Zhao Gang, on the other hand, had injuries to their arms and legs and could not race against time.

While everyone else went to cut wood to make a stretcher, Wu Sicheng was giving instructions to An Moxue, providing her with the contact information for her superiors and the progress of the case to be relayed to them.

Finally, Wu Sicheng said, "Mo Xue, please do your best to keep him alive before we get to the hospital. I beg you." Then, he solemnly saluted her.

An Moxue replied earnestly, "Don't worry, I will do my best. Also, once we get to the village, Wang Mang and Dong Kun can return. There's an old revolutionary in the village who works as a cart driver. I know him, and I can go find him. You can rest assured."

"Alright, I'll leave it to you once I get to the village. I'll repay your life-saving kindness when I get back. I'll have to owe you for now. Also, the things I mailed to you should have arrived. Don't forget to check when you get back."

"You mean that bag of furs?"

"Yes, that's right."

"I received it the day before I rescued you."

"Please be careful on the road and take good care of yourself."

"Yes, you should take your medicine on time too. Don't worry, he'll be fine."

The three men prepared the stretcher, and Wu Sicheng gave Wang Mang and Dong Kun some instructions. They then carried the patient, Huang Zhong, onto the stretcher and left quickly.

They only resupplied twice in half a day and night, spending the rest of the time traveling. Fortunately, they were lucky and did not encounter any large creatures or take any detours. Traveling day and night, An Moxue gave Huang Zhong some anti-inflammatory medicine from her space and made him drink water from the space well, which temporarily stabilized his condition. They finally arrived at Hongqi Village at around 4 a.m.

An Moxue jogged to a house at the foot of the mountain, knocked on the door, and a young man came out. Before he could speak, An Moxue said, "Comrade, hello, could you please take me to see Grandpa Li Guangshou, the old man who drives the cart in your village? I have urgent business with him." She then pointed to Wang Mang and his two companions. Seeing they were soldiers, the young man readily agreed.

Urged repeatedly by An Moxue, he ran all the way to Li Guangshou's house. The old man was already up and practicing boxing in the yard.

An Moxue saw the man from afar, thanked the young man who had led the way, and began to call out, "Uncle Li, Uncle Li, hurry, help me get the cart to the county, it's urgent."

When Old Li recognized An Moxue, he immediately replied, "Wait here, I'm coming."

Old Li turned and went back into the house to get his clothes and riding whip, then came out and said, "Come with me. What's going on?"

An Moxue replied, "The infection has been complicated by a fever, and it's life-threatening. We have to hurry." The group quickly followed Old Ma.

The carriage was harnessed, and An Moxue and Old Li drove it away. Wang Mang and Dong Kun watched the carriage leave, then turned and ran towards the mountains.

On the carriage, An Moxue asked Old Li, "Uncle Li, is the county hospital capable of treating his illness?"

"It's hard to say."

"Okay, I understand. I'll send it over to them first and then contact the military to see what to do next."

"Girl, what are you busy with? Why did you come to see me with them?"

“Uncle Li, it’s such a coincidence. I rescued their leader in the mountains. He was in serious condition and insisted on going back to the mountains. I was worried about him, so I followed him for a few days. Today I found this guy in the car and came down with him.”

"You seem quite busy! I heard from Lao Ma that you had some trouble recently, have you found out what happened?"

"Don't even mention it, it's just been forgotten."

"You'll have to be careful from now on!"

"Uncle Li, when do you have time to give me some pointers? I just want to save my life. It's so difficult. Next time, I'm sure I won't be at this level. Uncle, why did they arrest me? I still don't know why."

"After this, you can come anytime during the off-season, whichever is convenient for you. A bunch of little rascals, they'll be playing with this sooner or later, so you'd better hang in there."

"Uncle Li, thank you so much. I'll buy you wine from now on."

"You said it yourself, you won't be happy without alcohol!"

“I said it, and we revolutionary sons and daughters keep our word.”

The carriage sped along, disappearing around the bend in no time, without interrupting the two men's pleasant conversation.

Throughout the journey, An Moxue checked on the patient's condition every now and then, fearing that it might have worsened.

As soon as they arrived at the hospital entrance, before the car even stopped, An Moxue jumped out, went inside to find a doctor, and then carried the injured person to the operating room. After that, she rushed to pay the bill. When the nurses saw her, they all came to greet her. They only stopped when they learned that she had brought an injured soldier to the hospital. They then turned around and praised her for being beautiful and kind-hearted, which made An Moxue feel a little shy.

After waiting for more than an hour, the operating room door opened and the doctor came out. An Moxue hurriedly stepped forward: "Doctor, how is the patient?"

"It's hard to say, there's a risk of complications. If the fever can be brought down, there's still hope."

"So you're saying you're not confident, is that right?"

"You could say that."

"Okay, thank you for your help. Please take it to the ward and keep an eye on it for me. I'll go call the military." With that, An Moxue turned and left the hospital.

Outside Director Li's office at the Public Security Bureau, An Moxue was knocking on the door.

"Please come in," Director Li's voice rang out.

An Moxue greeted someone as soon as she entered the house: "Uncle Li".

"Mo Xue, what's wrong? Is something the matter?"

"Uncle Li, I want to make a call to the military. I rescued a soldier, and he's in the hospital. I'd like to contact his superior."

"Do you need me to go out?" Director Li asked.

An Moxue nodded shyly, then said bashfully, "Yes."
