After waking up, Mu Huaixi thought about the dream over and over again, and finally realized that Ying Mingcheng must have gone to the battlefield. In that era, the only thing that happened in the rainforest was the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam.
When she was in the nursing home, she once took care of an old man who was a veteran of the 41st Army Region and loved to tell people about the battles he had participated in.
Beginning in February 1979, the first conflict erupted, and this self-defense counterattack lasted a full decade. Troops from various military regions rotated in and out of the area, with occasional small-scale clashes. According to veterans, aside from the first conflict, in which we suffered heavy losses, we held the initiative thereafter. However, war is never a game; in the brutality of war, lives are always sacrificed.
Mu Huaixi felt heartbroken when she thought of the suffering Ying Mingcheng endured in his dream. He died because of the worsening of his wounds after being shot. If he had more medicine, and if she were there, she would definitely not let her grandfather see his young son to his grave!
Mu Huaixi glanced at the rising red sun outside the window and stroked her still flat belly. "Child, let's protect your father together!"
The fish soup cooked by Ying Mingcheng is milky white. The fish meat is removed and eaten with hand-rolled noodles. It has two different kinds of softness, freshness and sweetness.
Mu Huaixi ate a large bowl of rice out of respect and sighed, "Brother Cheng, I can't bear the thought of not being able to eat the food you cooked while you're on a mission."
"Ahem," Ying Mingcheng was choked by her bluntness. He drank a large glass of water before promising with red ears, "I will definitely come back early."
"That's not a rush." Mu Huaixi was afraid that he would be anxious when he went on a mission, so she smiled sweetly at him. "Your safety is the most important thing. Anyway, you have to remember that we are waiting for you at home. You have to think carefully about everything you do."
Ying Mingcheng's breathing stagnated. He put down his chopsticks, stood up, and took her into his arms. "Don't worry, Xiaoxi. I will pay attention to my safety. Don't worry."
He wanted to tell her that this mission was not that dangerous, but due to the confidentiality regulations, he could not say anything. He could only promise her again and again that he would pay attention to danger and would come back safely.
Mu Huaixi knew that he thought she was pregnant and was overly sensitive, but she was the only one who knew that it was because of that dream. She did not tell Ying Mingcheng, not because she wanted to hide it from him, but because she did not want him to be disturbed before going on the mission.
"He doesn't need to know. As long as I'm here, this dream will just be a dream." Mu Huaixi secretly made up her mind and threw away the last bit of panic in her heart. In this life, not only will Ying Mingcheng protect her, she will also be the one to protect him!
So today the people at the health center discovered that Dr. Mu was more efficient in his consultations and prescribing. He had only seen eighteen patients the day before he went on vacation, but now he had almost seen fifteen by this morning!
"What's going on? Did Doctor Mu come back after his vacation?" Wang Xiaohua felt already very busy just doing some auxiliary work, but Doctor Mu had to see patients, prescribe medicines, and yet he seemed much more relaxed than her.
Only Mu Huaixi knew that she had simply become more decisive and reduced her hesitation time when considering prescriptions. Previously, she was complacent about her progress, thinking that in time she would be able to become a good doctor like her grandfather.
But now she feels it is not enough!
There wasn't enough time, and she hadn't done enough! That dream was like a sword hanging over her head, bringing back the urgency she felt at the beginning of her rebirth and making her yearn for more progress.
"I received news yesterday that this year's exam is scheduled for April 15th. How are you preparing?"
Mu Huaixi woke up from her thoughts, looked at Jiang Wenyuan standing in front of the table and nodded, "I have finished reading all the books you gave me, there should be no problem."
Jiang Wenyuan nodded, turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Mu Huaixi.
"Doctor Jiang, I want to ask," Mu Huaixi said carefully, "Does our health center need to make some medicine for the regiment headquarters?"
"What kind of medicine do you want to make?" Jiang Wenyuan was obviously moved when he heard her say that.
"Earlier, Ying Mingcheng asked me to make Qingma Pills, so I was thinking about making some common medicines like Jinchuang Yao, Jiedu Pills, and Huoxiang Zhengqi Pills, and then teaching Xiao Hu and the others how to use them. That way, if they get sick or injured during training, they can get timely medication."
"You have a good idea, go on." Jiang Wenyuan was a military doctor after all, and he was very pleased that Mu Huaixi was thinking about the regiment headquarters.
"I've wanted to do this before, but first, I'm not sure what the regiment needs. Second, I don't think I can do it alone. Third, it might cost too much to procure all the herbs for a long time." Mu Huaixi first expressed her concerns and then shared her thoughts. "I was thinking that since it's spring now, there are many herbs in the mountains. Can I find some people to teach them? Then I can have them keep an eye out for them when they patrol or go up the mountain. This way we can save some money."
"I can also teach the regiment's medical staff some medical knowledge, and you can submit your prescriptions for medicine. If anyone has talent, I can also teach them acupuncture."
After all, her power is limited, but if she can help more people understand and know medicinal herbs and understand certain pharmacology, then she can also become a force on the battlefield.
Just as Wang Xiaohua once said, their Chinese medicine practitioners are herbal hunters. Other doctors need to prepare medicine in advance, but if they go into the mountains and forests, every plant and tree they encounter is medicine!
Jiang Wenyuan really didn't expect that she was talking about more than just pharmaceuticals. He stared at her blankly for a while and couldn't help asking, "Why didn't you tell Ying Mingcheng about this?"
If Ying Mingcheng reported this matter to the team leader, it would probably add another highlight to his resume.
"He doesn't need it," Mu Huaixi shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Brother Cheng has his battlefield, and I have mine. This is what our health center should do. You are my comrade-in-arms."
She was afraid that Jiang Wenyuan would refuse, so she explained, "Brother Zhu's words have enlightened me. I really shouldn't be so rigid about Chinese and Western medicine. I still need your help in this plan, so you can't refuse."
Mu Huaixi had already asked Fengjuan. Previously, Xiao Hu and his colleagues in the health center had only learned basic bandaging and first aid, which was obviously not enough on the battlefield. She hoped that Jiang Wenyuan could also teach the medical staff more skills.
With the pearls and jade she threw before him, Jiang Wenyuan agreed without a second thought. Then he took two steps towards her and asked softly, "Did you hear something?"
Mu Huaixi's scalp tingled and her pupils constricted. She sensed something was amiss in Jiang Wenyuan's words and could only vaguely explain, "Zhao Huihui sent me a letter. She said something."
"Hmm," Jiang Wenyuan thought. Several southern military regions were indeed on the move. He didn't delve any further into the matter. Instead, he quickly wrote down what he had just said, grabbed his bag, and headed out the door.
"I'll have a good talk with the political commissar."
After Mu Huaixi waited for him to leave, she slumped in her chair and told herself over and over again, "Don't be afraid, there's still time."
