Chapter 298 Coptis chinensis
"Why?" Jiang Ying asked.
"She had some bad experiences before and was hurt. I don't know if you have heard about it?"
Jiang Ying nodded, "I know. When I was given the task, she told me to pay attention to her emotions."
Su Tong continued, "She is a person with a rather extreme personality. When a person is stimulated, this extreme personality will intensify. The time when she was unfortunately hurt, everyone thought that she was passing by on a business trip and asked to meet Qin Yi. But yesterday she said that she was unwilling to be cancelled by her mother and wanted to meet Qin Yi specifically! It can be seen that she is very purposeful in doing things!"
"So, when she heard that Professor Zhai was going to the Southwest Research Institute, if she could think of a way, such as asking Qin Yi's grandfather who doted on her, she would have the opportunity to come with him to "do research" even if she was a freshman, because Qin Yi was in the Southwest Military Region, and only by coming here would she have the opportunity to meet him."
"Afterwards, she arrived at the Southwest Military Region, only to find that Qin Yi had gone on a mission, and the destination of the mission was Xiaoya Village. In this case, if she knew that Professor Zhai might also be going to Xiaoya Village, would she... chase him without hesitation?"
"Of course, this is just speculation. The premise of this speculation is that the note that Professor Zhai received mentioned Xiaoya Village, or that Lin Jiao knew through some means that Professor Zhai might go to Xiaoya Village."
"You mean, she was doing this for Boss Qin from the beginning to the end, and there was no other problem?"
"I'm not sure, but speaking from the actual situation, I took her pulse and found that her body was obviously deficient in Qi and blood, and it was even quite serious. She was really assaulted and stimulated. If she was involved with the gang, she wouldn't have lost her body. Moreover, in fact, her appearance did not bring about any turning point or change in the case, and did not have any major impact."
"Besides causing more trouble... Mr. Peng is still dead! The base was still discovered! The gangsters were still arrested! Of course, the biggest impact may be Comrade Zhang Zili. Lin Jiao has been violated. If a man touches her, she may have a stress reaction, lose control, scream or talk nonsense. Comrade Zhang Zili must have suffered an unexpected disaster and was accidentally exposed by Lin Jiao!"
"However, all of the above is my speculation. Without definite evidence, it can only be used as a reference, not confirmed."
Jiang Ying lowered her head, her voice a little muffled.
"To be honest, I feel a little sad. Although Zhang Zili and I are not very familiar with each other, we have carried out many missions together. He is a soldier with outstanding personal abilities, and his goal has always been to join the special operations team. If he died on the battlefield, I would feel honored for him! But if his identity was accidentally exposed because of a woman's nonsense, and he was... and... I would feel sorry for him... It's not worth it!"
Su Tong hugged her and said, "Glorious! Zhang Zili's sacrifice must be glorious! The blood of every soldier will not be shed in vain!"
…
It took some time to say goodbye to Jiang Ying. Fortunately, Jiang Ying was not a sentimental person. The two made an appointment to see each other next time and waved goodbye.
At noon, Peng Zhi came to take Su Tong to the cafeteria for lunch again. After lunch, he rode his bicycle to take Su Tong to the county party committee compound, where they got on the bus. This was all arranged in advance.
There was a net bag hanging on Peng Zhi's bicycle, which contained some biscuits and snacks, and he said it was prepared for Su Tong on the road.
Su Tong accepted his kindness and thanked him again and again.
Peng Zhi smiled and said, "You're welcome! Captain Qin has helped us a lot this time. The local gangs headed by Zhang Yitian have always been a concern for us. This time, Zhang Yitian not only surrendered himself, but also donated a large sum of money and a large number of things to the government, saying that it was to make up for the sins he had committed in the past..."
"Is there such a thing?"
This was the first time Su Tong heard of it.
"Zhang Yitian has been ill for many years. The government has asked a doctor from a large hospital in the province to see him, but I'm afraid he's dying! I guess Zhang Huaian's death was a blow to him too. People! At this point, it's easier to let things go!"
When Su Tong mentioned Zhang Huaian, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.
If Zhang Yitian had done these good deeds earlier, would Zhang Huaian not have to steal the snake king for him, would not have met her, would not have died...
Peng Zhi just kept on talking...
"But you know what, all the things donated by Zhang Yitian are good stuff. Among them, there is a medicinal herb that Captain Qin asked me to find. He said it was only available in the southwest border. I searched for it for a long time but couldn't find it. Finally, I found it in the batch of things donated by Zhang Yitian! Isn't it a coincidence!"
"Oh!" Su Tong was surprised, "Qin Yi also asked you to find herbs?"
"Yes! They say it has five or six leaves, white flowers, and five petals. It's called, it's called Five-lobed Coptis chinensis."
Five-lobed Coptis chinensis? !
Su Tong stopped suddenly.
Her mind went blank for a moment.
…
"Xiaotong, just study hard. I'm on a mission to the southwest border this time, so it might take a while. Don't worry if I can't get in touch with you."
"Oh! The southwestern border? The temperature there is most suitable for growing Coptis chinensis. If you see wild ones, remember to bring some back."
"Hey! In Xiaotong's heart, my brother is never as important as herbs!"
"How could that be? Of course, you are the most important! When you come back this time, I will make you 'Seven-Wonder Soup'. This is not the 'Seven-Wonder Soup' in traditional Chinese medicine, but the 'Seven-Wonder Oxtail Soup' that I invented myself."
"Okay! Just for your 'Seven-Way Oxtail Soup', I will come back earlier too."
…
Peng Zhi walked forward for several meters before he realized that Su Tong had not followed him. He turned around and saw Su Tong standing there in a daze with a pale face.
"What, what happened? Comrade Su!"
Peng Zhi thought about it and realized that he didn’t say anything wrong just now!
"Comrade Su?!"
It took Su Tong several minutes to react, but he couldn't suppress the turmoil in his heart.
At that moment just now, she actually thought of her brother!
She actually had the illusion that her brother was here too...
She shook her head to get rid of those unrealistic thoughts.
"Oh! Sorry Comrade Peng! I was a little distracted just now. What you just said... is it Coptis chinensis with five cracks?"
"Yes! That's the name!"
"This herb seems to be very rare! Did Qin Yi... ever tell me what he wanted this herb for?"
"Oh! He didn't say that. He just said someone asked him to find it."
Peng Zhi scratched his head and asked in confusion:
"Just wait until Captain Qin comes back and ask him and you'll know!"
Su Tong took a deep breath and almost murmured:
"Yes! Wait until he comes back! Just ask and you'll know! Just ask and you'll know!"
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Su Tong boarded a bus from the Da County government to Gansu Province and left Da County.
In the end, she left the notebook full of questions to Lin Li, and asked Lin Li to pass it on to Qin Yi.
If there are questions, there should be answers.
The truth will come out one day.
But will we meet again the person we miss?
