It was five days later that Mu Huaixi actually left there.
Le Hong was able to stand up and returned to work immediately. During this period, he cooperated very well with the treatment, but the task really did not wait for anyone.
She was invited to sit in the sedan again, and just as she put on the blindfold, she heard hurried footsteps.
Le Hong's voice sounded in her ears, with a hint of urgency, "Are you leaving?"
"Yeah," Mu Huaixi waved towards the source of the voice and replied with a smile, "I'll get you some medicine when I get back and ask someone to send it to you. Remember—"
"Remember to eat well, exercise, and get some sun every day at sunset. I've taken note of everything you said." Le Hong suddenly reached out and patted her shoulder, her tone affectionate, "Don't worry."
Mu Huaixi's mouth corners raised high. She and Le Hong got along quite well these days. They didn't talk about research or illness, but a lot of strange things.
Le Hong had studied abroad and told her many stories about foreign countries. Mu Huaixi had settled in the countryside and also had a lot of local gossip. Sometimes the two of them talked about completely unrelated things, but they could still laugh together.
Even the guards and visiting researchers found it very strange. Director Le usually didn't joke with others, so how could he get along so well with Dr. Mu?
In fact, they couldn't be said to get along, it was just an aimless chat. Mu Huaixi knew very well that people like Le Hong were always surrounded by like-minded comrades, and "strangers" like her were actually accidental encounters. There were many topics that she could not talk about with her comrades, but she could talk about them with her.
After all, we are destined to be separated.
Mu Huaixi was not unhappy about it. In fact, chatting with Le Hong was part of her rehabilitation plan.
Le Hong is too tense, which is harmful to her body. Since just chatting can make her relax, why not do it?
She was taken around in the car again, and then changed cars in an abandoned cave. This time she took a military truck, and Ying Mingcheng was also on it, which made up for her previous "lie".
Although I had only been away for less than a month, the camp had changed a lot. The hills had turned from green to red and yellow, the autumn harvest was gradually coming to an end, and the canteen's side dishes had changed from pickled fruits to spicy radishes.
Mu Huaixi drank a sip of hot bone soup, and only then did she feel the coldness lingering in the gaps between her bones dissipate.
"I'll go back to the regiment headquarters to sign in and then go home. You go home and have a good rest first." Ying Mingcheng, who was sitting opposite her, hesitated for a moment. "Please help me explain the injury to Aunt Da Chu. Don't make me go back and deal with her tears."
"You remembered it now?" Mu Huaixi rolled her eyes slightly, saying with disdain, "I won't help you explain. You deserve to be punished by Auntie Da Chu. When you call grandpa and grandma--"
"Hmm," her mouth was blocked by the ribs that were brought to her mouth, and the person who picked up the ribs took the opportunity to pass the ribs in his bowl to her.
"Eat more, you've worked hard," Ying Mingcheng continued with a smile, completely ignoring the looks of the people around him. They had been eating and living together for a while, so their relationship was naturally better than usual. Even without Aunt Da Chu's "disturbance", they got along more intimately.
"Bribery? Be careful or I'll report you to the regiment headquarters!" The look Mu Huaixi gave him had no power at all, and Ying Mingcheng, who had been coaxing her, couldn't help laughing.
"Go ahead, go ahead and file a complaint. I don't think the regiment will do anything, but the Women's Federation will give me a certificate of honor for being a good husband!"
Mu Huaixi was speechless. This guy is becoming more and more shameless!
Her return attracted the attention of many people in the family compound.
Sister Yu heard the news first and ran home with Hongxia. She first cared about her and Ying Mingcheng's health. She learned that he had just fainted after inhaling the poisonous miasma, and that Mu Huaixi was cured. They all breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Hongxia spoke quickly, "Xiao Xi, don't worry, I'll help you spread the news that Captain Ying is fine."
Sister Yu hit Hongxia, and seeing that Mu Huaixi was confused, she waved her hand and explained, "You left too hastily at that time. Besides, you were going out with such a big belly. They were overthinking it."
Mu Huaixi suddenly realized something. Glancing at Hongxia's somewhat angry and apologetic eyes, he understood what they were not saying. He was afraid that people outside had exaggerated Ying Mingcheng's condition by seven points, and some might even have speculated that he was in critical condition.
But Mu Huaixi didn't point it out. Instead, he smiled and nodded at the two of them, "Then I'll trouble Sister Hongxia."
"It's not that we didn't explain it," Sister Yu said helplessly. "It's really that once it's passed around in everyone's mouths, it no longer matches the original statement!"
Rumors are like tumbleweeds in the mountains. At first, they may be only as big as a rice ball, but as they roll, they become a leather ball, a lead ball, and finally may be bigger than the moon.
Wang Hongxia also explained, "I did explain, but no one listened. I thought the wind would change after a while, but I didn't expect this group of people to be so nagging..."
It's boring in the mountains, and Ying Mingcheng's matter is a matter of life and death. He is obviously a battalion commander with a bright future, but now he is in danger. How many people will be affected by this change?
Not only the women in the family compound, but the men in the military camp probably also have a lot of complaints in their hearts.
After all, she was carrying out a secret mission, and very few people knew Ying Mingcheng's true situation.
"And..." Wang Hongxia looked at Auntie Dachu who came in with tea. "Auntie Dachu comes in and out with red eyes every day, so some people misunderstand..."
Aunt Da Chu smiled awkwardly and put down the tea, looking very innocent. "Then I'm worried about Mingcheng, right? Xiaoxi didn't let me call there, and I couldn't sleep all night. My eyes must be red..."
Mu Huaixi cursed Ying Mingcheng in her heart, and held Aunt Da Chu's hand tightly, "Aunt, I made you worry so much. When Ying Mingcheng comes back tonight, you can give him a good scolding. Tomorrow, we will call grandpa and grandma and complain to him!"
"No, no, no, Mingcheng is still injured. I plan to make him some mung bean and bone soup tomorrow to help detoxify him!" Aunt Da Chu waved her hands quickly. She still felt sorry for the child, but she also felt comforted by Xiao Xi's protection. She rubbed her eyes and walked out. "Dumplings on the way, noodles on the way. I'll go knead the dough now. We'll have a good meal tonight!"
After eating noodles with gravy made by Aunt Da Chu and taking a hot bath, Mu Huaixi lay down on the bed, feeling like a river clam holding a pearl, leisurely opening its taut shell in the moonlight.
All the tension, worry and fear from the past few days melted away in the quiet night.
She lightly kicked the person next to her.
"Hmm? Want some water or go downstairs?"
"No, I just think that home is the best place!"
