"Oh." Fu Yunzheng seemed a little uncomfortable. As he started the car, he casually said, "Then be careful when you're out and about. Don't let your hands get wet with scrapes. Be careful not to get them infected or inflamed."

When Yi Yalan heard his instructions, she found it a little funny for some reason: "Yes, Captain Fu! Are you used to being so concerned about your soldiers? I'm a doctor myself, so of course I know all this, maybe even better than you."

"Uh, that's right." Fu Yunzheng also smiled awkwardly, but still couldn't help but remind him: "Be more careful."

Yi Yalan turned her head and looked at the man's firm profile. He was looking straight ahead, concentrating on driving.

She couldn't help but teased, "Captain Fu, do you think I'm a child? Why are you so worried?"

Fu Yunzheng felt a little embarrassed by her teasing. He coughed twice before speaking, "I was just worried that you'd forget about it when you got busy. After all, everyone's been too tired these past few days."

Qi Yalan smiled and shook her head, looking away. "Thank you for your concern. I know what's going on."

The car lights shone on the road, and the huge camp was quiet, but because there were people around to talk to, it didn't seem lonely and boring.

A pickup truck is naturally much faster than a 28-inch truck. As they were talking, they were already in front of the family compound. The car pulled up to the side of the road and stopped. Fu Yunzheng was already driving and jumped out first.

He walked around to the other side and saw that Xiao Yalan had already opened the car door and got out, so he reached out and helped her up naturally, saying as he helped her, "Come on, I'll take you inside."

Now, Qi Yalan felt embarrassed: "I really don't need you to send me off. I can do it myself. I also want to thank you for sending me off so late at night."

Captain Fu was too polite, which made her feel embarrassed.

But Fu Yunzheng stopped, looked at Qi Yalan, smiled, and said sincerely: "Be a good person to the end, and see the Buddha to the west. Since we have come this far, why not accompany you into the cave? It won't make much difference anyway."

Yi Yalan smiled helplessly and continued to walk forward. "Okay, I'm sorry to bother you. Actually, I'm already such a grown-up, there's no need for you to always treat me like a child."

Fu Yunzheng followed beside her, striding along at a steady pace.

She said "you guys"? Who did she mean? She should be referring to Grandpa Xiao and her mother. In that case, she also regarded herself as a family member. Fu Yunzheng couldn't hide his joy.

He said in a relaxed tone, "Don't be polite with me, just think of it as taking a walk together."

The other party had said so, what else could Yalan say? She just walked towards her own room.

At this time, the distance between the two people was shortened even more, and their shoulders were almost touching.

Fu Yunzheng silently lowered his head and looked at the two people's long shadows on the ground in front of him. The quiet night in the family compound seemed to become warm.

But this journey didn't take long, and soon they arrived at Qi Yalan's residence.

The old wooden door in front of me, with rusty door handles, looks particularly warm in the night, and the window next to the door is still shining with dim light.

Yi Yalan's steps became lighter, and a happy smile appeared on her face.

He quickly walked forward and knocked on the door.

"Grandpa, I'm here."

Fu Yunzheng followed behind him, watching her silently. Seeing her happy mood after returning home, he couldn't help but be happy for her, but at the same time, there was a kind of indescribable melancholy and loss.

This road is too short!

Soon the door opened and old man came out. He was wearing an old military uniform that was washed to a crisp and looked energetic.

The moment he saw Yi Yalan, the old man's eyes lit up, but then he frowned.

"Oh, our Xiaolan is here. You must be exhausted these past few days. I heard that there were quite a few casualties in your rescue mission this time."

Yi Yalan smiled and hugged her grandfather's arm, saying coquettishly: "Grandpa, I'm fine. We completed this mission very smoothly, and I learned a lot."
