"Why would a child need to know so much?" Gu Lingxiao continued to tease Xiao Zhang.
He had just experienced a brush with death, and the more relaxed he was, the fewer shadows would remain in his heart.
"Can you say these things? I just want to hear them. They all say you're a living devil, there's no task you can't carry out, and you kill without blinking an eye!" Xiao Zhang rambled on, recounting the rumors he had heard.
"They say that?" Gu Lingxiao laughed. "It's as if they saw it with their own eyes. We're soldiers, how could we kill people so easily? Only those who are determined to resist and refuse to surrender, and who are armed, will be killed. Otherwise, wouldn't we all be executioners?"
Xiao Zhang looked at Gu Lingxiao with admiration. He could not become a special forces soldier, but what he admired most in his heart was this kind of soldier who was fearless of death.
"Were many people killed?"
"You still ask? Aren't you afraid of having nightmares at night?"
“I’m not that timid, and I’m not easily scared by just a few words.”
“I haven’t counted,” Gu Lingxiao said.
Xiao Zhang stared wide-eyed in shock. How many people had the captain killed?
Why didn't you count them?
Suddenly I feel a chill in the air!
He didn't want to talk anymore.
Gu Lingxiao's lips curled up slightly. This child is young and hasn't experienced much!
He still needs more practice, but his performance today was pretty good; he does have the potential to be a special forces soldier.

Lu Zhixia was half asleep when she heard Grandpa Bai speaking. She sat up with a start, hurriedly threw off the covers, put on her shoes, got out of bed, and went to the door to open it.
Sure enough, Grandpa Bai was standing at the door talking to Zhou Cheng.
Seeing Lu Zhixia rush out in a panic, Old Master Bai shook his head helplessly.
"You said you'd pick me up, but you overslept."
"Grandpa, you don't know what happened last night. I didn't get home until after midnight and then I overslept!"
"Why is the car broken?" Old Master Bai asked.
"No, it's just a really tricky thing." Lu Zhixia rubbed her frizzy hair. With such a messy hairstyle, it's no wonder they laughed. So she told her grandfather...
"I'll go back and tie my hair up before I come out."
She turned around, opened the door, and went back inside.
Grandpa Bai was invited inside by Zhou Cheng. Looking at the small but cozy home, he felt that the family must be harmonious.
Seeing the little girl being helped out, her eyes wrapped in white gauze, looking so sweet and adorable, it was heartbreaking to see such a young child suffering so much.
After everyone sat down, he reached out to take the child's pulse, confirmed the symptoms, and then asked them to help the child back into the house.
Su Lan came out again and asked Old Master Bai in a low voice, "How is it? Is it curable?"
Mr. Bai said, "When she was locked in the box, her head must have hit the box. Now she has a blood clot in her brain, and it is this blood clot that is causing her to be unable to see."
If Su Lan had any doubts about Old Master Bai before, she was completely convinced at this moment, just as the doctor had told them.
There is a blood clot in my brain. It can only be absorbed slowly, or I will have to have craniotomy.
Zhou Cheng: "Grandpa, do you have a solution?"
Grandpa Bai nodded, "We can use acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine together for treatment. Fortunately, the child is still young and absorbs the medicine faster than adults."
Upon hearing that their daughter could be saved, their eyes lit up; they had been worried sick for days.
Both sides were mindful of each other's feelings and kept suppressing their own emotions.
"There are a few Chinese herbs that are a bit expensive, and I don't have them on hand yet, so I need to go to the pharmacy to buy them."
Grandpa Bai took out paper and pen from his bag and wrote down the prescription in its entirety.
"We're missing the last three ingredients, and they're quite expensive! It looks like we'll need at least three doses. The treatment cost could reach several hundred yuan."
They exchanged a glance. Even if it cost several thousand yuan, let alone a few hundred, they would still need treatment.
Zhou Cheng immediately said, "I'll go get the medicine right away."
Su Lan pulled the man back into the house, took out the money she had earned during this time from the cabinet, and stuffed it into her husband's hand.
They all kept quiet, not wanting their daughter to suffer further harm, so no one spoke.
After coming out, Zhou Cheng hurriedly took the money to the pharmacy to buy medicine.
"Take the Chinese medicine for seven days first, then I'll give you acupuncture. That way the effect will be better!" Grandpa Bai told her.
Su Lan was still very emotional, and tears welled up involuntarily. She quickly wiped them away with her hand to stop herself from crying out loud.
My daughter's ears are now very sensitive; she can hear even the slightest sound.
When Lu Zhixia came out of the house, she saw that only Su Lan and her grandfather were left.
"Brother-in-law?"
"I'm going to buy medicine."
"Mmm," she replied and sat down to the side.
Su Lan took a basin out of the cabinet, which contained boiled eggs.
"Eat!"
Lu Zhixia felt hungry as soon as she saw the eggs, and then remembered that she hadn't brushed her teeth.
"I'm going to wash my face and brush my teeth."
"It's the same whether you wash it after you finish eating," Su Lan said.
Lu Zhixia thought so too, so she started peeling eggs. She quickly finished peeling one and handed it to her grandfather first.
"Have one!"
"I've already eaten breakfast."
"You should still eat one, an egg is good."
"Then I'll just eat this one. I don't usually like to eat much in the morning."
Lu Zhixia gave the eggs to her grandfather and watched him eat them before she started eating her own. It was a very happy thing to have something to eat when she woke up in the morning.
After finishing her egg, she went to the washroom to wash her face and brush her teeth. There was still half an hour until the appointed time, so she needed to change her clothes.
