Chapter 19 I can't bear this alone...
Did I say something wrong?
"Whoever pops up here, everyone thinks they're a miracle doctor?"
"Liu Juan, what's wrong with you!"
"You've probably been brainwashed by that country bumpkin conman, haven't you?"
Li Xiuhong sneered. That swindler can only fool these ignorant people.
They have been avoiding and ignoring Li Xiuhong.
But I don't want to hold back anymore today!
"A country bumpkin swindler?"
"They treat patients and save lives, their silver needle technique is superb, even Master Fu praised them, and they are the ones who can follow Master Fu into the operating room."
Are you sure you can do it?
"If you can't do it, then watch your mouth."
Tolerate!
There should be a limit.
"you……"
Li Xiuhong's fingers were almost touching Liu Juan's face, but Liu Juan looked at her coldly, her eyes seemingly seeing right through her, making Li Xiuhong feel a little guilty.
"I can't be bothered to talk to people who don't understand medicine."
Liu Juan didn't bother to pay her any attention.
She wouldn't bother with other people's business unless she was being annoyingly buzzing around like a fly.
Liu Xiuchun knew Chu Lulu's name, but she didn't say it.
I was afraid of causing trouble for Chu Lulu. That lovable girl is young, and even if she has medical skills, she probably isn't very skilled.
Although Li Xiuhong's words were unpleasant to hear, she understood the difficulty of the surgery.
They dared not utter Chu Lulu's name.
Just as an eerie silence fell over the outside again, the door opened...
"How is Xiao Xie?"
Liu Xiuchun was torn, feeling guilty towards Xiao Xie but also not wanting Lulu to be gossiped about.
Hearing the door open, she stepped forward, the words already out, but her eyes widened in surprise.
The person who opened the door was not Chu Lulu.
It was Xiao Xie.
"Aunt Liu, I'm fine."
Besides my voice being hoarse from singing, I also have little feeling in my hands.
"Sister Lu was too tired and fainted."
"I……"
Let's rewind ten minutes.
After Chu Lulu precisely sutured the nerves, she stitched up all the fingers and even used the space's medical laboratory to scan them, confirming that the suturing was fine.
She finally relaxed; her hand was saved!
"Alright, congratulations on meeting me."
"I've fulfilled my mission; your hand doesn't affect your ability to fire."
She breathed a sigh of relief, but as the breath she had been holding in dissipated, she collapsed from exhaustion and fainted.
I'm starving...
She hasn't eaten a single meal since last night.
"How could it be her?"
A group of people walked into the room and then saw the person who was undergoing surgery.
Aside from Huang Chendong, who already knew, no one else knew who it was.
Huang Chendong was surprised to find out.
The independent battalion went on a field training exercise in the mountains today and returned late. When they got to the mess hall, they were told there was no food left.
The independent battalion has always had the right to provide meals!
Their training was the toughest, with no fixed schedule. They would climb out of the deep mountains one by one, only to find they had no food left.
Liu Xiuchun then stammered and said that she had shared the food with a girl named Chu Lulu.
Huang Chendong pushed up his glasses and decided to let the matter drop.
However, he needed to tell Comrade Chu that she was the only family member in the entire Independent Battalion, and that she could tell him directly if she needed anything.
They don't need to come to the canteen to curry favor; their independent battalion has that right!
"Huh? It's the miracle doctor."
Liu Juan's eyes lit up, and she looked at Li Xiuhong with a cold snort.
Li Xiuhong's face froze. How come she's everywhere?
Every day is just filled with trouble!
Upon hearing Liu Juan's words, Liu Xiuchun asked, "Juanzi, you know Lulu too?"
Lulu?
She doesn't know her!
But she knows a miracle doctor!
"This comrade saved an old gentleman and was appointed as an assistant by Master Fu. His silver needle technique is superb."
"I can't guarantee it would be anyone else."
"Since this comrade says he can save them, then he definitely can."
Liu Juan became a little fangirl in just one day!
You can't find a doctor in the entire hospital who can be praised by Dr. Fu, can you?
Liu Xiuchun breathed a sigh of relief; her guilty conscience was finally cleared away.
"Alright, everyone, let's leave."
Commander Jiang glanced at Li Xiuhong but said nothing.
Li Xiuhong frowned as she followed the crowd out, muttering to herself, "Lulu? Lulu? Lulu?"
How come she shares the same name as the country girl that Brother Jun knows?
It must be a coincidence.
Homophones but different characters.
How could that country girl possibly know medicine?
Brother Jun said that the country girl was ugly, had a bad figure, was spoiled, and knew nothing; she was utterly useless.
Only Commander Jiang, Huang Chendong, Liu Xiuchun, and Liu Juan remained in the room.
Xiao Xie has already been taken to the military hospital by Commander Jiang's bodyguards. A broken finger is no small matter; Old Master Fu needs to take a look before he can be completely at ease.
"LuLu hasn't eaten yet!"
"I'll go home and get my things, then I'll cook for her. I'll cook whenever she wakes up!"
Liu Xiuchun had made up her mind; she was the one who brought Lulu into this.
Moreover, Xiao Xie's matter was largely thanks to Lu Lu's help.
That kid is only eighteen. If he loses a finger, it will be really difficult for him to participate in next year's recruiting.
"Should I carry him back?"
Huang Chendong frowned, thinking of the female comrades he could contact.
In the end, he had no choice but to discover that because his family's battalion commander knew many female comrades, he had offended them all.
Who told his battalion commander to have such a sharp tongue?
"I'll do it."
"LuLu is a lesbian. We know the reason and it's okay. We're just afraid of those gossipy people who might spread rumors."
These are the topics taught in the military region's ideological and political education classes.
But there weren't many forms of entertainment in those days, and the only things people could chat about were everyday family matters.
"Stay by my side, and if I run out of strength, help me with my support."
Liu Juan looked at Huang Chendong, who nodded stiffly.
Commander Jiang looked at Huang Chendong, then at Liu Juan, and then at Liu Xiuchun, who looked concerned.
Um!
This girl hasn't been in the military region for long, but she's maintained a pretty good relationship with everyone.
Commander Jiang, who originally wanted to intervene, was marginalized and watched as the matter was resolved without saying a word.
"The key has been found."
Liu Xiuchun found the key in Chu Lulu's tattered bag, the gate to the courtyard opened, and the group quickly went inside.
"This room is cold and empty."
"How can a young woman live alone?"
"Your Independent Battalion is something else. When arranging courtyards for the girls, you could at least find a female comrade to help look after them. You guys, all you've got is this kind of arrangement?"
"It's only because Lulu isn't delicate. If it were any other woman, you'd have to try!"
As soon as the group entered the house, they found that the stove had already been extinguished, and the house was cold and devoid of any warmth.
Looking around at everything, Liu Xiuchun couldn't help but complain.
Huang Chendong's face was expressionless, but he pushed up his glasses and didn't dare to say a word!
Hey boss! When are you coming back?
I can't handle this alone...
Liu Juan wiped her sweat, took off Chu Lulu's cotton-padded coat, and covered her with the quilt.
