Before Mu Huaixi was taken away by the car, Sister Yu hugged her and comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay. Your Ying Mingcheng will be fine."
Along with the package of medicinal herbs that Ying Mingcheng brought back was the news that he was injured. Political Commissar Li came to the house in person and tactfully conveyed the news of Ying Mingcheng's injury, emphasizing that the injury was not serious, but asked her to come over as soon as possible.
To be honest, she was really scared at that time, her stomach was cramping, and she was so scared that Political Commissar Li explained again and again that his injury was not serious!
Aunt Da Chu was so frightened that her face turned pale. She twisted the rag helplessly and said, "Why don't you ask your grandparents to come back? If anything happens..."
"Don't worry, Aunt Da Chu, don't be afraid." Mu Huaixi's face turned pale, and he held his stomach and took a deep breath. "The political commissar said the injury was not serious. He must have other arrangements for me to go."
Political Commissar Li was vague, emphasizing that she needed to go because of the injury, but he repeatedly stated that the injury was not serious, which made her feel very uncomfortable after being shocked.
When she found the note Ying Mingcheng left for her in the sack containing the medicinal herbs, everything was solved.
"I'm not hurt, I just need you."
Mu Huaixi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that her medical skills might be needed, but since his injury had to be used as a cover, it should be a task that needed to be kept secret.
Therefore, Mu Huaixi did not tell the truth to Aunt Da Chu. He just kept comforting her and coaxed her into being less worried before packing up and leaving.
"Aunt Dachu, you really don't have to worry too much. I'll call the regiment headquarters as soon as I get there," Mu Huaixi instructed her before leaving. "I've been craving spicy and sour food lately. Aunt Dachu, please pickle some vegetables for me at home!"
Afraid that she would think too much at home, Mu Huaixi found her a job.
The news of Ying Mingcheng's injury also spread in the health center. Sister Yu and a group of acquaintances came to comfort her. She also pretended to be very hurt, with red eyes and not saying much.
Otherwise I wouldn’t know how to cope with it at all.
The health center also called out, and Mu Huaixi was picked up by a small car. After taking a tour in the mountains, he was arranged to change cars and drove back into the mountains.
The driver and liaison officer in the car were very polite, but they didn't say a word the entire time. It didn't seem like they were visiting seriously injured family members, but rather like they were carrying out a confidential mission.
“…”
The new car had a curtain, so although I couldn't see the direction clearly, I felt like I was back near the Gold and Silver Mountain. Mu Huaixi didn't say anything, and everyone in the car maintained a tacit silence.
The smell of water and the sound of waves came in. After the car stopped, the liaison officer next to her apologized to her and then handed her a blindfold.
"This, I'm afraid it's not very convenient," Mu Huaixi was stunned and then refused.
She wasn't worried about herself, but she was afraid that if she couldn't see it, her center of gravity would be unstable and she would hurt her stomach.
The liaison officer then smiled at her and said, "Don't worry, Doctor Xiao Mu. We are prepared."
It was not until she got off the car that Mu Huaixi realized that they had actually prepared a sedan. Although it creaked when she sat in it, she didn't have to walk by herself and didn't have to worry about safety issues.
“Tick-tick.”
From time to time, the sound of water could be heard, and the footsteps of those carrying the sedan chair had a slight echo. The tide around her reminded Mu Huaixi that she might be in a tunnel or a cave.
"Ying Mingcheng is back, but he didn't tell me." Mu Huaixi decided not to speculate where she was, but instead used a golden needle to prick the villain named Erhuo in her imagination. Reason told her that she was asked to carry out this task because of trust, but emotionally she wanted to bite this man twice. Why couldn't she find another reason!
You have to scare her, right?
In the darkness, time became inaccurate. Mu Huaixi did not take his pulse or calculate the time. He just felt that he had to wait until he was drowsy before the sedan chair was lowered.
She raised her hand to take off the blindfold, but was held by another person's hand. A familiar voice rang in her ears, "Don't open your eyes after taking it off, or you'll cry."
Mu Huaixi breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and punched him in the chest, then buried her head in his arms. Ying Mingcheng was obviously a little surprised, his body stiffened for a moment, and then he hugged her back tightly.
There were faint laughter sounds around, and Mu Huaixi realized that there might be someone there. She froze and tried to break free from his arms, but he held the back of her head and pushed her back.
"Don't move, they're leaving soon. If you move again, they might come back."
Mu Huaixi had no choice but to bury her head deeper, and waited for him to let her go with a smile and tell her that she could open her eyes before she slowly opened her eyes.
Everything around was white, even the lights above were pale.
"This is......"
Seeing that he didn't reply, Mu Huaixi realized that she must have arrived at a secret place. She looked around again and determined from the moisture-covered corners and the curled wall that she must be in a cave, or even underwater.
"Are you okay? Are you not scared?" Ying Mingcheng held her hand and looked at her expression carefully.
Mu Huaixi shook his head. "What happened?"
Ying Mingcheng pulled her inside and pushed open a hidden door. "Let's talk as we go. Someone is sick and needs your help."
The clean white corridor was silent. Mu Huaixi didn't know how many doors he had opened before he saw the patient this time, a middle-aged woman who was in a coma.
She looks very special, with white hair and eyebrows, and pinkish white skin, so she must be albinos.
"This is our Director Le. She suddenly fainted five days ago and hasn't woken up yet." The staff member next to her stood straight in a white coat, and he must be from the military.
"At first we didn't take it seriously because we had been working all night. We thought she was feeling unwell and needed to rest more, but she was unconscious for five days straight, so we asked you to come over."
Mu Huaixi stepped forward and felt her pulse, but found nothing special. It was a deep, slow and comfortable pulse, with a slight loss of blood. She was not unconscious, but sleeping.
The researcher nodded after hearing this. "He should be in a coma, but it's been five days. Just sleeping like this isn't a solution. Is there any medicine that can wake Director Le up?"
It’s not that they didn’t think of a way, but after the military drums and music were played, the music director was still asleep, and they didn’t dare to wake him up by force.
Mu Huaixi shook her head. "You were right not to wake her up forcibly. The key to health preservation is to put sleep first. Sleep is very important. Maybe she is just too tired."
"Tell me more about Director Le."
The researcher said "oh" and told her about Director Le's daily life while picking up some information.
Director Le worked incredibly hard, having pulled through four days and three nights before falling asleep. He'd barely eaten a proper meal, completely absorbed in his "mission." He'd only rested for four hours before this late night, and the nights before that were many more.
Mu Huaixi listened and shook his head in his heart. If he continued like this, he would get sick eventually.
She opened her mouth to speak, but she felt a sudden vibration accompanied by a rumbling sound, and she almost fell down.
