Song Shutian gave a wry smile. "Uncle Lu, as you know, there are certain conditions for carrying a gun. If Jiang Qiao were to carry one, her responsibilities and obligations would become much heavier."
Lu Zhiyuan sighed. He was just worried and confused. Jiang Qiao didn't want to join the army, which was evident from his brother's letter. If the child really had this, it would cause a lot of trouble later.
Jiang Qiao's original plan was to legalize the weapons in the space, so that if she really clashed with those people in the future, she would at least have an excuse.
However, Song Shutian is right. "Forget it, I didn't think that much about it. I don't want to carry a gun anymore. I'll find a way to take it from the enemy in the future. Back then, our slogan was that if we didn't have guns or cannons, the enemy would make them. I'll learn from you old veterans and take them from them."
Song Shutian gave a wry smile. "Xiao Jiang Qiao, your idea is good, but even if you take this thing, you can't legally own it. You can use it at the time, but you'll have to hand it over afterwards."
Jiang Qiao waved her hand. "We are all law-abiding citizens. If we don't do that kind of thing, as long as it's self-defense, can we use it?"
Song Shutian nodded. "That's certainly a possibility."
Jiang Qiao didn't want to dwell on this issue any longer, so she changed the subject and asked about the patients' conditions.
"Not bad, after taking the second dose of medicine, their physical condition is much better, and their spirits are also good. Jiang Qiao, when will these people be completely cured?"
Jiang Qiao shook her head. "It's already very good that we can survive. After all, you should know better than me how toxic and harmful that stuff is. It's just like arsenic. It's already quite good that we can survive. Considering the current medical conditions, plus the absorption by the body, there will still be some damage."
However, if they take good care of themselves, it shouldn't interfere with their work. I'll just need to brew a few more days' worth of medicine.
Just as she finished speaking, someone knocked on the door. It was the waiter delivering a letter to Jiang Qiao.
"You've been resting the whole time, so I haven't been able to deliver it to you in person. I've delivered it, so I won't bother you any longer."
After reading the letter, Jiang Qiao couldn't help but smile. Ma Liu really hadn't disappointed her. This old man was truly capable. But this also proved that her previous decision to change the medication was correct.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Qiao's smile made the two people sitting next to her happy as well. It wasn't that they hadn't seen Jiang Qiao smile before, but after this little girl became more beautiful, her smile became infectious, making people who saw it unconsciously feel better as well.
Jiang Qiao put the letter away. "I asked someone to inquire about something for me. Your director's grandson should be fine."
"Oh, it really can be cured?"
Jiang Qiao smiled and looked at Song Shutian, "I didn't say it couldn't be cured. Just because others can't cure it doesn't mean I can't. I still need to make a living with this skill in the future."
Song Shutian looked at Jiang Qiao with a smile in his eyes, "You little girl, you're already making plans at such a young age. Let me tell you, at your age, I doubt many people would believe you. Why don't we change jobs? If you become a senior doctor, how will you support your family?"
Jiang Qiao snorted childishly, "Why should I become a senior doctor? With my skills and the help of you uncles and brothers, I can introduce a few wealthy patients and I'll have enough money to eat."
I'm entrusting this matter to you. When bringing the patient here, make sure it's reliable; don't let you run errands for nothing. And if you ever feel unwell again, I'll treat you for free."
Song Shutian pointed helplessly at Jiang Qiao, "You little brat, you never ask me for anything. Right now, your studies are the most important thing. If you need money, you still have me. I'll give you some right now."
Jiang Qiao waved his hand. "How could I take your money? If your wife finds out, she'll make a huge fuss. Besides, I have parents. I can't spend your money, let alone whose money I'm spending. Otherwise, things might get complicated."
After their banter ended, Lu Zhiyuan and Song Shutian simultaneously stretched out their arms, "Girl, let me see—"
Seeing Jiang Qiao place her fingers on Lu Zhiyuan's wrist, Song Shutian called out from the side.
"Uncle Lu, you can't do that. I was the one who stretched out my arm first."
Lu Zhiyuan kicked Song Shutian from below, "You brat, don't you know how to respect your elders? I'm going to tell your father about this and let him deal with you."
The main reason Lu Zhiyuan reached out to Jiang Qiao for a checkup was that his heart had been feeling unwell for the past two days.
He didn't say anything. After taking his pulse, Jiang Qiao hesitated for a moment and said, "Uncle, you should have the surgery. There's a small shrapnel in your leg. It didn't affect anything before, but now it's moved and is pressing on a blood vessel. If this goes on for too long, I'm afraid the shrapnel will puncture the blood vessel, and then there will be big problems later. The sooner you get treatment, the sooner you'll get better."
Lu Zhiyuan knew there was shrapnel in his leg; a physical exam could detect it. However, conditions at the time didn't allow for it, and the shrapnel wouldn't have much of an impact, so he didn't bother with it. Unexpectedly, the child noticed it just by taking his pulse.
"Really? Is it that serious?"
Jiang Qiao nodded and looked at Lu Zhiyuan seriously. "Go to the hospital tomorrow for an X-ray. The doctor will give you an answer then. Do it as soon as possible."
Lu Zhiyuan sighed, "I don't want to lie in a hospital bed, but it seems I have no choice but to do it. I'll listen to you and get checked out later. If it's possible, I'll do it right away." As for Song Shutian, that guy was just there to join in the fun. "Aside from being damp and anxious, he doesn't have any major problems. He can just get some medicine from the doctor and be fine."
Song Shutian looked at Jiang Qiao in surprise, "It's that simple?"
Jiang Qiao gave a wry smile. "What else do you want? Do you have to make yourself sick? Hurry up and get back to what you were doing. That Song Yuzhu is waiting for you to catch her. Have you heard anything about her?"
Speaking of this, Song Shutian was troubled. "Where exactly is this female spy hiding? Her photo has been distributed to various places, but there's still no news."
Lu Zhiyuan sighed, "If those people are disguised, it won't be so easy to find them."
Jiang Qiao remembered someone and suggested, "Go interrogate Milan and let her think carefully about how they trained her back then. Maybe she'll gain some insights."
By the way, what happened to those children from back then?
Song Shutian shook his head. "We're investigating."
Jiang Qiao pointed to the next room and said, "Why don't you go find Master Hou to tell your fortune?"
After saying that, he couldn't help but laugh. Song Shutian glared at him and said, "Stop promoting feudal superstition. If he could predict everything, he would be a god."
After saying that, he couldn't help but laugh and coughed. "Of course, Old Hou is indeed more capable than us ordinary people in some aspects. He has made a great contribution this time."
Jiang Qiao nodded. "Just remember their kindness. If they ever have any trouble in the future, you can't just stand by and do nothing. It's only right and wrong. They don't have any bad intentions. Ever since the accident, their two fellow disciples have been fully cooperating. Even with their legs crippled, they still went up the mountain with them. Just for their kindness, you should all put some effort into protecting them in the future."
