Chapter 117 Kid, you're no good!
"Second brother, I want to go home."
Mu Ren's eyes reddened even more, and he raised his hand to wipe the corner of his eyes.
Poor little sister, my heart aches for her!
"Little sister, let's go home right away, we'll be discharged and go home soon." Mu Ren resisted the urge to give her a bear hug. If the doctor hadn't reminded him not to touch the patient's wound, he would have reached out and hugged her the moment he saw her.
No, we can't scare people like that.
"Second Brother?"
She wasn't dreaming?
"Second Brother!" Luo Yin confirmed again, and found that her second brother's big hand was firmly holding her hand.
This is real, not fake; it has warmth and texture!
"What are you doing here? Where am I? How did you get here?" Luo Yin gradually regained her senses and bombarded her with a bunch of questions.
Mu Ren smiled and gently patted her head before explaining the original explanation.
"So because I was critically ill, I notified my family, and even my father came. That's wonderful!"
"Bang bang~"
"What are you saying? Pah, pah, pah! That's bad luck."
Mu Ren is very particular about these things now, so he quickly made her spit a few times to apologize.
Luo Yin wasn't angry at being reprimanded; instead, she kept smiling and was so happy she didn't know where she was.
"Where is my father? I want to see him. I miss you all so much."
She swayed as she tried to get down, but stopped when she pulled at her wound.
"Wait, don't move if you're injured. Dad will go outside to find you a lamb. He said he'll make you some soup."
"Pfft, hahaha!"
Seeing her laugh, Muren laughed too. "This place is amazing, unlike our grasslands which are always hot. But it's too warm here, not as dry as the grasslands."
"Right, I like the grasslands too. The climate here is good, and there are many plants and animals growing here."
"But none of that is urgent right now, you need to get your health back."
In the time that followed, Luo Yin kept asking her second brother a lot of questions.
I asked everyone in the family, and then I learned a lot. "What? My little nephew can eat solid food now, and he really likes the dried meat that my mother makes."
“Ani personally went out of his way to find a house site, not far from our ranch.”
"It is expected to be completed by the end of the year, then it will be able to get electricity."
Luo Yin never expected that this trip away from home would bring her so many changes from her second brother's words; she felt both happy and regretful.
She strongly supports the choice to change the environment and improve the family's life, especially since the elders in the family are getting older and a stable and secure living environment and convenient living conditions are necessary.
But she also knew that the elderly would always have some reservations.
"Second brother, you and Dad and Mom are really amazing!"
Mu Ren smiled, his eyes brimming with pride. "Hehe, not really. I've learned a lot coming here with my father. I never imagined there could be such a big difference between the north and south of our country."
A flash of reminiscence crossed his eyes. "I used to be quite proud of my trip to the snow-capped mountains, but now I realize I should travel more. This is what they mean by 'reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles!'"
Luo Yin listened to her second brother's sigh.
My feelings are even more complicated!
"Second brother, I support you."
"Muren, I can still hear you babbling on and on. Come out here and stop bothering your sister." A familiar and cheerful male voice rang out.
Luo Yin was so excited that she almost wanted to get out of bed. "It's Dad!"
"Okay, Dad, please keep your voice down."
The door opened, and Dad came in carrying two rows of lunch boxes.
His previously furrowed brows softened considerably when he saw a smiling face looking at him.
"Little Flower, when did you wake up? Oh, let Dad see if you're feeling better. I just managed to get a leg of lamb, let's eat it while it's hot."
Bart directly ousted his son from his position.
"Haha, Dad, I just woke up, and I feel great now." Luo Yin laughed again, in an excellent mood.
Because of his injury, he didn't personally help her, but he wanted to feed her.
"Alright, alright, hurry up and go call the doctor. You need to have the doctor take a look at you now." Knowing that the two of them had no experience, sure enough, the moment she spoke, she saw that the two little ones were full of confusion.
"Go quickly!"
Mu Ren nodded, "Okay!"
While waiting, Luo Yin inquired about her father's injuries.
After her father personally confirmed it and checked her pants, she finally felt relieved.
It was only then that she noticed that her father, like her second brother, was wearing a single layer of clothing with the sleeves and pant legs rolled up, and that he had short hair at the back of his head.
"Dad, your hair?"
"Hehe, how does it look? Not bad, right? Your mom cut it for you."
Luo Yin smiled and said, "It's not ugly."
"Yes, time was of the essence at the time. The comrade who came to deliver the message said he would take us to Yunnan Province. He briefly mentioned the climate there, but I didn't expect it to be so hot here. Fortunately, I've slowly gotten used to it over the past few days."
Luo Yin listened carefully, as if the scene was unfolding before her eyes.
Tears welled up in my eyes. I must have been worried and nervous at the time, which is why I asked them to cut off my hair, which I had been growing for so long. In pastoral areas, especially in herder families, the tradition of respecting one's body and hair is still passed down from the older and middle-aged generations.
This might not matter to literate young people, but it was different for my father.
Luo Yin knew very well that the next time she saw her father unkempt and with long hair was after he was injured.
"I'm sorry to have worried you. I'll go home as soon as this is over." She didn't leave immediately because she didn't want to give them unrealistic expectations.
Bart's eyes flashed, and he cleaned his beard.
Apart from his height and accent, he didn't seem like a herdsman at all.
"No, I just missed you."
Ta-da!
"The doctor has arrived."
Luo Yin looked up and saw a huge crowd surging towards her.
Upon closer inspection, I saw familiar faces, people I didn't recognize, and people wearing white coats.
She nodded and smiled subconsciously, and then the doctor asked her questions while the nurses assisted her.
People nearby greeted her, and soon the doctor gave her a few instructions before Wu Yangyang and his entourage left.
"Looks like you can't eat any of this, Xiaohua, you need to avoid certain foods and eat bland ones. Dad will go buy some for you, and I'll have my brother keep you company." Bart looked at all the people in the room, waved to Mu Ren, and whispered to him to stay put.
When they saw a few female leaders during the visit, they only nodded slightly.
Xia let out a long breath after watching the big man walk away.
He gave Luo Yin a thumbs up and said, "Comrade Luo, are all your family members this tall?"
He truly admired them, and repeatedly remarked how the environment shapes the people.
If he has such a good physique, he'll be able to handle any business trips or field investigations with ease.
What a pity!
"Cough cough, I'm alright."
"Old Xia, Comrade Xia, what brings you here?" "Leaders, you've come too."
Xia Ming waved his hand, walked closer, and sincerely apologized to her. "We have deeply reflected on what happened to Comrade Xiao Luo. As the team leader, I need to take primary responsibility for involving you in such a dangerous situation."
After Xia Ming finished speaking, he was about to bow and apologize.
Luo Yin quickly had the people around her stop her, "Hey, no, no, I know about Elder Xia's matter, it's not your problem."
“This was indeed due to our coordination. Given that your injuries are quite serious, I can arrange two months of leave for you so you can properly recover.”
Upon hearing this, Luo Yin paused in her attempts to dissuade him.
"real?"
Xia added, "Of course, we were able to complete this mission successfully thanks to you all. There were some changes in the plan, so you can take a break for a while. But Comrade Luo, you must remember that you still have to report back to Beijing later."
Xia Mingjiang's words made Luo Yin even happier. "Okay, I understand!" Then she could go home.
Seeing this, Old Xia also had his own thoughts and decided to finalize the compensation before leaving.
Director You, who was a step behind, saw that the atmosphere was just right and could no longer avoid it.
They took the blame upon themselves, saying that their injuries were because of them, which put their comrades in danger.
Luo Yin recognized him as one of the base's leaders, but at this point, she didn't know what to say.
"I'm still a bit confused and don't know what will happen next?"
Director You paused for a moment, then saw Old Xia say that he wouldn't disturb her rest.
He then left with his men, leaving only three people at the scene.
Luo Yin looked at her second brother, "Second brother, wait for me outside, and come in later."
Mu Ren glanced at his younger sister, then turned and left.
Mu Ren stood outside with his arms crossed, like a door god, until more than an hour later when the person inside finally came out.
"Little sister, are you alright?"
He didn't even see the satisfaction on the leader's face when he saw him before leaving.
"It's nothing, I'm just feeling a bit sentimental."
"By the way, second brother, I have some good news for you."
The same situation occurred in several adjacent rooms.
Huo Sen, Liu Cheng, and Qin's relatives, friends, and colleagues also arrived here one after another.
Hosen's injury is mainly in his leg, and he is currently lying in bed reading a book with a cast on.
Beside him was a female comrade who looked quite similar to him, with the energetic and dynamic demeanor of a cadre leader.
"Xiao Huo, Mom will pack up these next couple of days, and you can come back with me." Comrade Qin Juan poured him some hot water. "I heard that the last comrade has also woken up. Once you've seen him, you'll be able to focus on recovering."
"Let me wait a minute, Mom, who did you say woke up?" He had barely finished the first half of his sentence when the second half changed.
"That young comrade, I overheard it when I went out just now."
"By the way, I heard from your boss that she was with you at the time." Qin Juan thought about her son's strange behavior and wondered to herself before tentatively probing.
"No, she saved me. We met again later."
"Oh, I see. Well, it's perfect that your boss said they'd give us time off. I'll go and find out more, and then I'll head back."
Hosen knew that once his family caught him, there was no point in saying anything.
Thinking that she had woken up, my agitated heart calmed down a little.
"Yes, that's fine."
Qin Juan clapped her hands, surprised that the boy was so obedient. "Alright, wait a moment, Mom will go out and ask around before buying some more things."
After everyone rushed out, Hosen, inside the house, fiddled with two beads that looked quite similar.
His fingertips kept twirling, especially the one that had a slight crack.
The last scene in his memory was him carrying the unconscious Luo Yin uphill. He was at a loss in that situation, but luckily they found a vine.
I recalled Mr. Chen's previous introduction, which mentioned a type of vine with large bulges on its surface.
When you open it, you'll find tender white vine worms. If you really have nothing else to eat, eat these, and you'll definitely survive.
Hearing the noise, Hosen quickly retrieved the bead.
Qin Juan, carrying a bag of canned fruit, gestured that she was leaving.
Just as I was about to help him push the wheelchair, Hossen took the initiative to push it himself.
The two quickly passed through the familiar wards and arrived at Luo Yin's room.
Knock knock~
"Comrade Luo, hello."
"Second brother, please open the door for me."
After Qin Juan finished listening, she heard a very young voice.
She was somewhat taken aback, glancing at her son, who was still looking rather disheveled after being tidied up.
Does this kid have that kind of habit?
"Please come in!"
As soon as Mu Ren opened the door, the brother and sister's eyes were drawn to a woman.
They looked over with the same puzzled expression.
Who is this?
"Cough cough!"
"Captain Huo, it's you."
When Luo Yin heard the cough, she looked down and saw that it was Huo Sen, so her tone became lighter.
During her conversation with Director You, she learned that when she fainted, it was Captain Huo who carried her out, so she was very grateful for this life-saving grace.
"Captain Huo, please come in and have a seat. I was just thinking about when to visit you. I heard from the leaders that it was thanks to you that I was rescued, otherwise I might have been buried in there."
"It's alright, you saved me too."
"Cough cough cough~"
When Qin Juan saw the little girl on the hospital bed, she was so shocked that she coughed incessantly.
The first thing that strikes you about this little girl is her bright, lively eyes; she seems clever and confident.
Her features were good, but her face looked smaller because she was wearing a hospital gown.
Coco, you can tell she's young no matter what.
Does this brat even know what he's doing?
"Second brother, hurry up and hand over the teacup." Just as they were talking happily, Luo Yin heard her cough and quickly called out to her brother.
Hossen turned to look and saw that her face was red, so he got up to pat her.
"Hey, son, don't move!"
"I'm sorry, I'm fine, you guys continue. I just came to see the person who saved my son. Young man, thank you so much. Oh, and this is some food I brought for you, please accept it."
As Qin Juan spoke, she reached Luo Yin's side and took her hand in hers.
The two men next to them were too frightened to go any further.
"Oh, I think that's fine, no need for it, this stuff is really uncomfortable."
Qin Juan immediately said, "Yes, yes, you two have survived a near-death experience this time, so your relationship is naturally quite special. By the way, my name is Qin Juan, and I'm Huo Senfa's mother. You can call me Aunt Qin. I know your name and how old you are, don't I?"
"I am Luo Yin, and that is my second brother, Mu Ren. He will be 18 this year."
"Wow, starting work at such a young age, your boss must really value you! That's great!"
"By the way, how are you feeling now? You need to rest well during your recovery period. Take good care of your health while you're young so you won't suffer in the future."
Qin Juan took the initiative to pull her along, and Luo Yin nodded slightly as she listened to her words.
Sometimes when they get into a conversation, they forget about the people next to them.
Qin Juan did not say goodbye to Huo Sen until the nurse came to change her dressing.
The man, who had only spoken two words to her, left the ward and walked back without a word.
Qin Juan watched as the wheelchair spun around rapidly, and a clear understanding appeared in her eyes.
With Luo Yin regaining consciousness, the subsequent conclusion of the case changed. The responsible persons and leaders held many meetings behind the scenes, and the main person in charge visited several times during this period.
Luo Yin also saw the others: Team Qin, Team Mu, Team Feng, and even Brother Liu, who was wrapped up like a ball.
Seeing that everyone was alright, she finally felt relieved.
However, Old Chen, Brother Du, and Brother Meng still did not appear.
She asked Xia Ge and heard that Du Ge and Meng Ge had been taken away by their elders, but even Chen Lao didn't know anything about it.
"I really don't know, but the bombing was so serious that I heard that if it had been delayed even a few minutes, none of you would have made it back."
Xia Mingjiang's tone was filled with lingering fear; Old Master Chen really was insane.
This is the only definition he can make.
Will he appear on the itinerary after that?
"I don't know. Professor Xia is currently preparing to go abroad to participate in overseas archaeological work. We will return to Beijing later to complete the written report."
"Going abroad for archaeological research, is that something you can talk about?"
Loin was surprised!
"Of course, there's nothing I can't say. Actually, if it weren't for the location, I would have liked to promote it more. This is a great thing; they specifically invited me from abroad."
The value and significance behind this are immense.
Luo Yin's eyes sparkled as she listened.
"That's amazing!"
"Yes, that's right, but unfortunately I haven't had the chance yet."
Luo Yin said confidently, "Don't worry, there will definitely be plenty of opportunities in the future!"
"By the way, our vehicle is leaving tomorrow, so we might not be able to take you out of the hospital."
"It's okay, there will be opportunities."
