Rong Jiaojiao understood what he meant and shook her head: "Uncle, it's not that Jiaojiao is unwilling to help." She took out the badge of the special department and said: "I also have to go on missions. If I don't have a mission, then of course there is no problem."
Upon seeing the badge in Rong Jiaojiao's hand, Ding Yuan realized that Rong Jiaojiao's abilities far exceeded his expectations. He nodded and said, "I see. Then this old man will not insist. But girl, if it is convenient for you in the future, please take care of us old folks."
Rong Jiaojiao put away the badge and said earnestly, "Uncle Ding, don't worry, as long as I'm home, you and your comrades can come to see me anytime."
Ding Yuan nodded with satisfaction and gestured to Ding Weimin, who then opened the satchel he had been carrying and took out a large bundle of money.
Ding Yuan said, "We can't let Jiaojiao do the work and provide the medicine. This is just a small token of our appreciation. Jiaojiao can use it to buy some clothes."
Rong Jiaojiao scanned the money with her divine sense and found that it amounted to two thousand yuan. This was enough to buy hundreds of clothes, not just a few.
Rong Jiaojiao waved her hand: "No need, uncle. I just did what I could. You don't need to pay me."
Without saying a word, Ding Yuan took the money from his son's hand and stuffed it into Rong Jiaojiao's hand: "Take it. If you don't accept it, it means you think it's not enough."
Rong Jiaojiao looked at Rong Lianhu, who said, "You should just take it."
Rong Jiaojiao didn't know how much to charge. Not to mention healing his injuries and illnesses, the cost of the medicine alone would be more than that, but she felt she shouldn't charge him.
After thinking for a moment, she took out two hundred and said, "Then I'll collect the money for the medicine."
No matter how much Ding Yuan offered, she refused to accept it. Just as she was declining, Zi Ling, who had been quietly squatting to the side, suddenly pricked up her ears and looked warily towards the door.
Rong Jiaojiao also noticed something and turned to look at the courtyard gate.
She raised her hand, and a communication talisman landed in her palm. She gently touched it with her spiritual power, and Elder Li's voice came from it: "Young friend Rong, this is Li Li, outside the 56th Division's garrison. I wonder how your injuries have healed?"
Rong Jiaojiao took out Elder Li's communication talisman and replied, "Elder Li, my injuries have healed, but is there another mission?"
After sending the message, he turned around and saw the Ding family father and son looking amazed, and his own father looking worried.
Rong Jiaojiao scratched her head, unsure how to explain it to her father.
Seeing his daughter's somewhat helpless expression, Rong Lianhu asked, "Is Jiaojiao leaving again?"
Rong Jiaojiao hugged Rong Lianhu's arm and rubbed her head against it, saying, "Dad, it was Elder Li from the special department who called me. It's probably another mission. I'm sorry to have made you and Mom worry again."
Rong Lianhu stroked his daughter's head, unable to bring himself to say anything to stop her from leaving.
Ding Yuan patted Rong Lianhu on the shoulder and laughed, "Old Rong, your daughter is quite something! Even the special department sent people to look for her personally. She must be really capable."
Ding Weimin also exclaimed, "No wonder she could easily remove the shrapnel; it turns out Rong is from a special department."
Rong Jiaojiao smiled somewhat embarrassedly: "It's just some small tricks."
As they were talking, a communication talisman flew in. Rong Jiaojiao lightly tapped the talisman, and Elder Li's voice came again: "Young friend Rong, during the bandit suppression in the southwest border, some soldiers were injured and their wounds are difficult to heal, and they have turned black and festering. Headquarters has ordered us to go and investigate immediately. If your injuries have healed, please come to the garrison outside as soon as possible."
Rong Jiaojiao's expression hardened, and she turned to look at her father: "Dad, I have to leave right away."
Rong Lianhu was a soldier. Hearing about the urgent mission, he nodded immediately, though reluctant, "Go, be careful."
Ding Yuan also said seriously, "Girl, the situation on the southwestern border is complicated, you must be careful."
Rong Jiaojiao nodded, turned around and went back into the house to put away the array plate. She had already taken out the things she needed to leave for her parents a few days ago, so now she could just leave.
He took out a small porcelain bottle, poured ten Nourishing Essence Pills into Ding Yuan's mouth, and handed them to Ding Yuan, saying, "Uncle Ding, these are for you to nourish your body."
Ding Yuan quickly thanked her, and Rong Jiaojiao waved her hand and hugged her father again: "Dad, please tell Mom for me."
Rong Lianhu hugged his daughter and said, "Don't worry, I'll explain it to your mother!"
Zi Ling nimbly jumped onto her shoulder. Rong Jiaojiao nodded to everyone and was about to leave when Ding Yuan said, "We borrowed a car today. It's right at the door. We'll have Weimin take you out."
Rong Jiaojiao said, "Then thank you very much, Brother Ding."
Ding Weimin immediately stood up and said, "You're welcome."
Rong Jiaojiao hugged her father again and ran out quickly, with Ding Weimin following immediately.
Ding Weimin quickly started the car, Rong Jiaojiao got into the back seat, and Ziling perched on her shoulder, its tail gently brushing against her cheek, as if to soothe her.
Rong Lianhu stood at the door, looking at his daughter with a complicated expression, and finally whispered a word of advice: "Be careful in everything, don't be reckless."
Rong Jiaojiao nodded emphatically: "Dad, I will."
Ding Yuan patted Rong Lianhu on the shoulder and comforted her, "Old Rong, don't worry, this girl is very capable!"
Rong Jiaojiao got into the car, and Ding Weimin stepped on the gas. The car drove out of the yard and sped towards the 56th Division's garrison.
On the way, Ding Yuan looked at Rong Jiaojiao in the rearview mirror and couldn't help but ask, "Rong, is your mission very dangerous?"
Rong Jiaojiao felt awkward being called "Rong Sister" by him, but she still smiled and said, "It's similar to your missions!"
Ding Weimin remained silent. They could be killed at any moment during their missions, which meant that Rong Jiaojiao and the others could also be killed at any time.
He pursed his lips and could only say dryly, "Be careful."
Rong Jiaojiao smiled and thanked her, "Thank you, I will."
The car quickly arrived at the outskirts of the 56th Division's garrison. From afar, Rong Jiaojiao saw Elder Li Li standing by the roadside waiting.
Rong Jiaojiao thanked Ding Weimin before getting out of the car. After watching the car leave, Rong Jiaojiao turned to Li Li and bowed respectfully: "Elder Li, I've kept you waiting."
Li Li nodded slightly: "It's alright, how are your injuries?"
Rong Jiaojiao stretched her shoulders and said, "I've fully recovered."
Li Li nodded: "That's good. This mission is urgent, and we need to get to the southwestern border as soon as possible."
After saying that, he raised his hand and waved it, and the flying sword appeared out of thin air, growing longer in the wind. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a giant sword ten feet long, hovering three feet above the ground.
Rong Jiaojiao leaped onto the flying sword, and Zi Ling lightly jumped down from her shoulder and squatted at her feet.
Li Li made a hand seal and chanted an incantation. The flying sword instantly soared into the air and disappeared into the horizon as a streak of light.
Zi Ling clung tightly to Rong Jiaojiao's trouser leg, her fur flying backward in the wind, yet she appeared unusually excited.
Rong Jiaojiao shivered from the cold and quickly raised a barrier to cover them.
“This mission is somewhat special.” Li Li’s voice came clearly. “The wounds found on the border are not only ordinary poison wounds, but also traces of evil energy corruption.”
