That evening, after the paper mill closed for the day, Bai Shuang was about to return to her room when several officers from the main force came over and asked her for tomatoes and cucumbers.
"We heard Dr. Bai brought tomatoes and cucumbers, and we're all really craving them, so we came to see if there are any left."
Bai Shuang had no choice but to take out some more. "I originally brought them to cook for everyone, but they ate them like fruit."
"That's all there is left. You can share it. If you want another one, you'll have to wait until next time."
Bai Shuang lowered her voice, "Remember, don't make a fuss. If anyone else comes asking for it, I'll make them ask you for it."
Several officers quickly replied, "Of course, we were just trying our luck."
These days, who can have a lot of this? It's only because you know how to grow it; we haven't seen it for over a year.
The fact that they came to ask for it means they don't consider themselves outsiders. Everyone was just joking around. Bai Shuang will try her best to get along well with everyone here.
Since the second day of their arrival at the military camp, Bai Shuang, the two others, and their dog have been doing morning exercises, training, and even sparring with everyone every day.
At first, seeing that Bai Shuang was a delicate young girl, they all advised her to go back and rest. But after a day of training, they couldn't help but admire her.
The first time I ran with them, they were all panting after a few laps, but the snow leopards weren't even red in the face. They were full of energy.
They thought to themselves that although they couldn't outrun Dr. Bai, she could never match the natural strength of men. Thinking this way made them feel a little better.
But when we practiced sparring in the second half of the day, I realized that there are always people more capable than you. A seemingly frail little girl could knock down a big man with a single punch, and she could take him down one by one.
After a few rounds, he no longer dared to have that sense of superiority as a man, and could only train obediently.
At this moment, Bai Jiu came over to comfort them: "You can't compare to my young lady, because you'll never be able to."
Bai Jiu has firsthand experience in this regard.
"When you're level one, the lady is level one and a half; when you're level three, she's level three and a half; even if you level up to ten, she'll still be level ten and a half. She'll always be half a level higher than you."
What does it mean to always be half a level higher? It means that the other person is afraid of hurting the other's self-esteem, so they deliberately suppress their own strength to fight against them.
Now they were even more frustrated. What could they do? They could only practice harder to improve themselves.
In the afternoon, Bai Shuang was about to help prepare dinner when, unexpectedly, Doctor Ma came over again to discuss medical techniques.
He compared the hemostatic medicine with the one made from white frost. The ingredients of the two medicines were the same, but no matter how he tested them, the medicine made from white frost was much more effective.
This medical fanatic actually cut two bloody gashes on his own arm.
Bai Shuang told him it was due to the different heat levels during the refining process and the different harvesting times of the medicinal herbs, which was considered a way of dismissing him.
Actually, the two things she mentioned did have an effect, but it was mainly due to the Bai family's special alchemy techniques and the addition of spiritual spring water.
Bai Shuang, her two companions, and their dog spent their days in busy but happy times; however, happy times are always fleeting.
On the morning of April 15th, Bai Shuang and her comrades were training with the soldiers near the military camp when suddenly a loud bang rang out in the sky.
Suddenly, I felt the ground shaking violently, and the tremors and noises continued.
Lu Yu, who was also exercising nearby, turned to look at Bai Shuang, then ordered everyone to stop training and wait in place.
Bai Shuang's first thought was an earthquake, but according to the Five Elements Spectrum Analysis at that time, there was no earthquake.
The shaking lasted for about ten minutes before finally stopping. Then everyone gathered and went back to camp. It was too cold outside, and we couldn't stand it for long.
At this time, the army also received news from the sentries in the distance that an avalanche had occurred on Cuishan Mountain in the south of Tangcheng. If anyone was trapped under the snowdrift, they would have died from suffocation and low temperature.
Half an hour later, someone from the municipal department called for help.
They said that in Cuishan District, there was a village with more than 300 people that was buried by snow.
Before the natural disaster, they all moved into a hidden air-raid shelter.
The cave is usually stocked with various daily necessities, which are replaced every year. In case of any disaster, the whole village will move into the cave.
Moreover, this hole is known only to members of the Yang family and is not revealed to outsiders.
But they never expected the disaster to be so severe, that an avalanche would occur and bury the entire air-raid shelter.
The person who came out to deliver the message was a member of their family. Because a relative had just passed away, the family of three had come out to pay respects at the grave, which saved them from the disaster.
The others are still living in the cave, and since the cave is quite spacious, they should still be alive.
Lu Yu and his team immediately dispatched dozens of military vehicles, equipped with snow chains, to rescue people. He himself was also worried and personally went to check the terrain. Before setting off, Bai Shuang told Lu Yu to be careful of secondary avalanches.
When a brigade commander was leaving, he suggested taking a snow leopard with him, but Lu Yu refused, saying, "It's not a military dog, nor a police dog; it hasn't been trained and can't save people."
At this moment, the snow leopard sensed its owner's mood and simply pretended to back down. Since its owner didn't want it to go, it knew it wouldn't end well, and it would always be on its owner's side.
So, his usually proud and imposing figure now hung his head and slumped his back, looking like a lump of mud.
That brigade commander, ...
Lu Yu, ...
That's not a dog, it's a dog spirit!
Since the leader disagreed, he dared not say anything more.
It's dangerous over there, and Lu Yu knows Bai Shuang won't agree. Besides, the snow leopard has no obligation to do so.
