Chapter 176 Chapter 176
Ye Qing did not stay in the Northwest Military Hospital for too long.
Colonel Zhang arranged for her to be escorted again, but this time she returned by train instead of a plane.
He changed several trains along the way, from Lancheng to Zhengcheng, then from Zhengcheng north to Jicheng, and then from Jicheng back to Wusong City. The total time on the road was four or five days. Although it was a sleeper car, it was still cramped and Ye Qing almost vomited.
But it's no wonder that Colonel Zhang made such arrangements. The sudden sandstorm really scared him. He was afraid that something might happen to Ye Qing on the return flight. Just to be on the safe side, it would be safer to let Ye Qing take the train.
In short, when Ye Qing finally returned to Kaoshantun, it was already mid-to-late October.
Fortunately, during the more than half a month she was away, nothing serious happened in the village or the military farm. Except for the fact that there were a lot of patients waiting for her to see them at the health station, everything else was running normally. Even the filming progress at the pig farm was as usual, without any delay.
This immediately made Ye Qing breathe a sigh of relief, and the worry that had been hanging in the air on the way back finally settled down.
"Master, you are finally back. My eldest brother has called you several times in the past two days. He is almost driving me crazy!"
As soon as Ye Qing returned home and entered the yard, Gu Weinan rushed up to him.
Ye Qing and Gu Weidong had been separated for almost a week. She guessed that Gu Weidong's desert survey team must have made some progress, so Gu Weidong called her to report the battle situation.
She nodded to show that she understood, but she was not in a hurry to contact Gu Weidong. Instead, she asked several female apprentices about their work situation in the past half month, including the progress at the farm, the medical records of the patients seen at the health station, and the operating status of the feed factory in the town. After getting a rough understanding and making sure that several people had handled things properly, she went back to the house, changed into a set of old clothes, put on a backpack, and ran straight out the door to the mountain behind.
"I'm going up the mountain to collect herbs. Don't follow me. Just continue with your work!"
Without bothering to exchange pleasantries with his family, Ye Qing made up an excuse and went deep into the mountains.
When she was on the train, she had clearly felt her supernatural powers were abnormal, as if she was about to break through some bottleneck, but because there was a lack of spiritual support around her, the power was stuck there and could not break through the shackles.
So as soon as she returned to Kaoshantun, she didn't dare to delay any longer and rushed into Changbai Mountain.
As soon as she entered the mountain, she was surrounded by spiritual energy. The further she went inside, the denser the spiritual energy became. Moreover, these invisible energies rushed into her body, circulated madly inside her body, purified into purer substances, and then poured out of her body again.
These substances permeated everything in the forest. The plants throughout the entire mountain forest were swaying and cheering, as if they were really welcoming the elf queen.
Ye Qing wandered in this forest for so long that she became one with Changbai Mountain, so long that she seemed to be able to easily sense every corner of this deep mountain. When she opened her eyes again, the sky was already turning pale. She had sat quietly in this deep mountain for a whole day and night without realizing it.
At this time, the energy storage in Ye Qing's body was full. The wood-type spiritual energy that had been exhausted by her was now surging in her spiritual platform. She could also clearly feel that her supernatural powers had really been upgraded again. The smoke and waves were as vast as a sea of clouds, and she could not even sense the end of the spiritual energy.
At this time Ye Qing knew that her supernatural power had reached its peak. At least in this Dharma-Ending World, the limited spiritual energy could only support her to this point.
Ye Qing did not feel any regrets. The improvement of her supernatural powers to the current level had completely exceeded her expectations. With her current special ability alone, she was already invincible in this world and had no rivals.
But Ye Qing is not stupid. She is a visitor from another world, and has received so many spiritual benefits from this world. If she does not want to be suppressed or even wiped out silently by the way of heaven, she has to make a fortune quietly, be low-key in her life and high-profile in her work, honestly keep her original intention, and unswervingly go on the path of practicing medicine and accumulating virtue. Only in this way can she live a stable life in this world and grow old in peace.
So Ye Qing did not show her joy, but followed the excuse she made when she entered the mountain. She took advantage of the morning light and stepped on the morning dew, quickly dug a large basket of medicinal herbs in the mountain, and then walked down the mountain under the rising sun.
After her supernatural power was upgraded to the maximum, the huge Changbai Mountain was almost invisible to her. She could clearly find out what kind of plant medicinal herbs there were by just mobilizing her spiritual energy to investigate. Even the herbs buried deep underground could be easily uprooted if she wanted to. Therefore, collecting herbs in Changbai Mountain was no problem at all for Ye Qing.
When Ye Qing came down the mountain and returned to the village, several disciples were already doing morning lessons. Perhaps because Ye Qing had gone into the mountains alone before, this time Ye Qing stayed in the mountains for a day and a night. The disciples were not surprised and just came forward to take the basket of herbs she was carrying without asking any other questions.
In the morning, Ye Qing was seeing patients at the health station as usual. He had a lot of patients on hand, so he became busy as soon as he came back. However, at noon, he received a call from Gu Weidong as expected.
Gu Weidong on the other end of the phone was extremely anxious and told Ye Qing that the survey team had confirmed the specific location and scope of the coal mine.
"It's a large open-pit coal mine. You can see it once you push away the yellow sand piled on top. Some places are even only covered by one or two meters of sand!"
"However, during the survey, the expedition team discovered several fire spots where the coal mines were burning. It is said that they have been burning for many years. Judging from the current burning speed of those fire spots, these fire spots may burn tens or even millions of tons of high-quality coal resources in the mine every year!"
"Ye Qing, luckily, luckily I submitted this geological report. If I had to wait seven or eight years, the burned coal would have caused huge economic losses!"
Ye Qing was also shocked by the result told by Gu Weidong.
It seems that although the steel plant where Gu Weidong worked in his previous life had cooperation with the Northwest Coal Mining Group, it did not know the specific mining conditions of this open-pit coal mine, and Gu Weidong was not aware of the fire in the coal mine.
But no matter what, it was a blessing in disguise that Gu Weidong used the effective information he obtained more than ten years later to plan a good future for himself. Now that this open-pit coal mine has been accurately located, the smooth entry of the survey team will definitely speed up the mining of this coal mine by seven or eight years earlier, which can indeed reduce huge economic losses for the country. This is definitely a good thing that benefits both the country and the people!
No wonder Gu Weidong was so anxious and excited. He called Kaoshantun for several days in a row. He must have been eager to share this joy and happiness with her.
"Gu Weidong, congratulations, you have done a great job!"
Ye Qing was also happy for Gu Weidong. He knew with a simple thought that after this incident, with such a brilliant resume that no one else could match, this guy's future career in the army would definitely be smooth sailing and no one would be able to stop him.
Gu Weidong shook his head and chuckled, but then he expressed his gratitude to Ye Qing in a very serious manner:
"Ye Qing, thank you! If it weren't for you, I would have died in the desert, not to mention making any achievements. If you really count, I can only take up a small half of this honor and merit, and the rest is all due to you. Without your timely rescue, everything would be in vain!"
"I have already made a serious report to my superiors, explaining in detail how you went into the desert to rescue me. They will definitely credit you for your contribution, and I estimate that it won't be long before you can receive the commendation!"
Gu Weidong's guess turned out to be correct. At the end of October, which was the golden autumn season, all kinds of wild berries, wild fungus and other mountain products in Changbai Mountain were ripe and ready to be picked. Ye Qing had been staying in the mountains with several apprentices and the children in the village every day. Unexpectedly, Elder Yang and Colonel Zhang brought the military's ceremonial guard with gongs and drums, making a big scene, and came all the way from Qingshan Town to Kaoshan Village to personally present Ye Qing with a banner and a certificate of honor.
Ye Qing heard the noise at the foot of the mountain and hurried down the mountain carrying a large basket of wild fruits he had picked from the mountain. Before he could figure out the situation, someone came up to him and put a big red flower made of red satin on his head.
Then, facing a large group of leaders from the province, county and military departments, as well as many reporters with cameras on their backs, Ye Qing felt like he was grinning like a fool.
Fortunately, this socially humiliating scene did not last too long, and Ye Qing did not get to give any acceptance speech. Elder Yang and Colonel Zhang explained the matter briefly and to the public, then stuffed the golden banner and certificate of honor into Ye Qing's arms and let the reporters take a few photos. This unique commendation ceremony was thus concluded.
However, as soon as the accompanying leaders and reporters left, Mr. Yang smiled and pulled Ye Qing into the yard. He took out a file bag from Secretary Tian's briefcase behind him and handed it to Ye Qing.
Ye Qing was stunned for a moment, then she took the bag and opened it, and saw a piece of paper inside that looked familiar yet unfamiliar to her.
Mr. Yang smiled and said:
"I know you like houses. I heard that the reward you received from Beijing last time was a courtyard house. So this time, after discussing with a few old comrades, I applied for this one for you. See if you like it. If not, I'll take it back and exchange it for you."
This is a property deed, which reads No. ***, Nanjing East Road, Shanghai. It is a complete old western-style house, covering an area of more than 350 square meters, with a five-story building area and front and back yards.
How could Ye Qing not like it? She was stunned, okay?
The original owner was from Shencheng, so no one knew better than her how valuable the location marked on this deed was.
Close to the Bund and also the most prosperous shopping street in later generations, it is a blend of history and modernity. Owning such a large old house in such a valuable place is definitely the dream of countless Shanghai people, but it is something they dare not even think about.
