Chapter 25 It turns out that Xu Qiaofeng's kindness towards her was all for the sake of the child.
Almost at the same moment Ning Tang raised her hand, everyone looked at her.
"Is she crazy? That's a wildfire! Just thinking about it makes you realize how scorching it is!"
“What do you know? Ning Tang is a relative of Commander Xu. I heard that Captain Xu also went to the disaster relief. They are all family, so she will definitely go with him.”
"My goodness, look at their spirit of dedication to the people! They're not afraid even with such good backgrounds, so what am I afraid of? Dean, I want to sign up too!"
Upon hearing that Xu Qiaofeng was also at the fire, Zhang Jiaman, who was standing to the side, immediately raised her hand, indicating that she would also go.
He also dragged Wang Yan into it.
Seeing that Ning Tang had taken the lead, the doctors and nurses who had been hesitant raised their hands one after another, and soon the internal medicine department had enough for two teams.
He nodded in satisfaction. "The internal medicine team is all here. Go outside and find the surgery team's car, and we'll go together."
"The surgical team is led by Director Lu. Everyone, please be careful and return safely."
Ning Tang was stunned.
Your surname is Lu?
She had heard Wenya mention before that the Lu family next door seemed to be a family of doctors...
Ning Tang had just begun to have doubts when Zhang Jiaman leaned closer, her tone condescending:
"Tangtang, you're new here, so you don't know, but Director Lu has a very high reputation in the surgery department. With him there, there won't be any problems going to provide support this time."
"Moreover, his family lives next door to the Xu family. It's just a pity that Director Lu's daughter, Lu Niannian, has been in poor health since childhood. Doctors cannot heal themselves. What a tragedy."
Upon hearing this, Ning Tang's heart skipped a beat.
Lu Niannian's father.
Wouldn't he be Xu Qiaofeng's future father-in-law?
He likes Lu Niannian, and now he's going to work with the Lu family to provide support. Will they run into each other? How do he explain his identity?
Ning Tang suppressed the inexplicable thoughts in her heart, turned around and followed the group, walking quickly towards the hospital exit.
The vehicle was a Jiefang truck, which was usually used to transport supplies. The cargo box was very large, and everyone had to squeeze onto the ground, swaying back and forth with the vehicle.
Zhang Jiaman frowned as soon as she sat down and secretly tugged at Wang Yan's sleeve:
"Auntie, this old car is so bumpy. If I had known it would be this bad, I would have preferred not to raise my hand."
Her voice wasn't loud, but her words were full of disdain.
This caused Lu Jiaxiang, who was sitting next to him, to frown.
"If you feel the bumps, there's room for you in the front cab, but you'll have to bear with it a little longer. You can switch seats when we go back."
As he spoke, he looked up and glanced at Ning Tang, who had been sitting in the corner since he got on the bus. After seeing her face clearly, his heart tightened for some reason.
That face...
How come it looks so much like Ai Qiao...
Even after getting off the bus, Lu Jiaxiang's gaze kept falling on Ning Tang, as if he was plotting something.
As soon as the car entered the mountains, Ning Tang was terrified by the fire. Her mind was preoccupied with whether anyone was injured, and she didn't notice Lu Jiaxiang's gaze at all.
The troops have already set up tents for the wounded.
Everyone quickly found their place.
Ning Tang was an intern doctor, and because Wang Yan was trying to curry favor with her, she was assigned to treat and bandage wounds. Just as she reached the tent in the minor injury area, she heard a group of people arguing in front of her.
"Where did you come from? This is a tent for the wounded. You're perfectly healthy, why are you taking our spot?"
"Do you know how tired I was climbing up the mountain!" Ning Xin rolled her eyes. "My feet were covered in blisters, and they hurt like hell!"
What's Ning Xin doing here?
Following the sound, they saw Ning Xin lying on a hospital bed in a tent with her hands on her hips, while several wounded soldiers next to her were arguing with her with furrowed brows.
"Comrade, we just got out of the fire, our bodies are covered in burns, how can your blisters on the soles of your feet compare to ours?"
"The tent is only so big. If you're taking up space, where are we wounded going?"
Ning Xin, however, did not think it was excessive at all.
"Why are you wounded, but I'm not? I'm here to provide support too!"
"Besides, I'm related to your commander. My sister is married to him, so I'm his sister-in-law!"
Everyone protested: "Who's the officer you're talking about?"
Just as Ning Xin was about to say Xu Qiaofeng's name, Ning Tang's face darkened, and she stepped forward to support the pale-faced soldier.
He said coldly, "Ning Xin, they are all wounded. This is not a place for you to cause trouble!"
"If you are really injured, step aside first. I'll treat their wounds first, and then I'll deal with yours."
Ning Xin was taken aback when Ning Tang suddenly appeared.
But then she realized that given Xu Qiaofeng's status, it would be against the rules for him not to come. Besides, Ning Tang was wearing a white lab coat, and she thought the Xu family doted on her. It turned out it was just an internship.
Looking around, she saw that all the doctors and nurses assigned to her were in pairs, while she was all alone.
She's definitely being isolated.
Just thinking about it makes Ning Xin want to burst out laughing.
He couldn't help but say sarcastically, "Ning Tang, I know exactly what you're up to."
"What?"
"Don't you just want to take this opportunity to make those who hate and despise you look at you in a new light?"
Ning Xin's expression was full of disdain and condescension, as if she could already see Ning Tang being kicked out of the Xu family and left to wander the streets in a miserable state.
"I thought you were so noble, but it turns out you're just a selfish, vulgar person trying to gain a good reputation."
Ning Tang ignored her sarcasm.
First, he helped the wounded soldier into the tent, then pushed aside Ning Xin who was in the way, and picked up a cotton ball soaked in iodine to gently treat the wound on his arm.
In a gentle tone: "Bear with it, it hurts a little."
After treating everyone's wounds in one go, he looked up and realized that Ning Xin was still there.
A smile played on her lips, her tone calm yet icy: "Whether I'm seeking a good reputation or not is none of your business."
"But it is a fact that you are occupying the wounded's beds and delaying their treatment."
"I wonder what Captain Zhang Yanfei thinks about this?"
No secrets stay hidden forever. Those young soldiers immediately realized that Ning Xin was Captain Zhang's family member, and they couldn't help but feel resentful.
Upon hearing that Zhang Yanfei was involved, Ning Xin immediately became anxious.
Seeing the unfriendly looks she received from others, she stomped her foot in anger and quickly left.
For several hours in a row, the wounded were continuously brought down the mountain.
I don't know who spread the word, but they said there's a really beautiful doctor there who treats wounds. She's beautiful, skilled, and also knows traditional Chinese medicine. She has her own unique remedies that don't hurt at all.
In fact, Ning Tang took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to enter her space and exchanged her yang energy for a medicinal ointment.
She simply couldn't bear to see the soldiers grimacing in pain.
By the time Ning Tang finally finished her work, it was already dark. Because the wildfire had not been extinguished, the night was still a deep red.
Just then, Xu Qiaofeng, covered in mud, lifted the tent flap and strode in.
Seeing Ning Tang's pale face from exhaustion, he tensed his jaw and spoke in a chillingly cold voice: "You're only a month pregnant, which is the most dangerous time. Who told you to work so hard?"
He had just come down from the fire when he heard from the soldiers that Ning Tang had been working non-stop without rest, and hadn't even had time to drink water. A fire seemed to ignite in his heart, and he ran all the way here.
Ning Tang was startled by his sudden cold expression.
He subconsciously touched his lower abdomen, a bitter smile appearing on his lips.
She thought that after spending these past few days together, she and Xu Qiaofeng had become a little more familiar with each other. It turned out that his concern for her from beginning to end was all because of the child in her belly...
Seeing that Ning Tang remained silent, Xu Qiaofeng continued, "The first three months of pregnancy are the most crucial. Have you considered the consequences if something goes wrong with the baby?"
Before she could finish speaking, Ning Xin, who had disappeared all afternoon, burst in with a badly injured Zhang Yanfei—
