Cheng Jin's focus was different. Seeing the brother and sister chatting, he didn't call anyone. Instead, he squatted down and started poking at the rattan box.
For a period of time in her past life, she was particularly interested in these handmade items and specially sought out ethnic minority tribes to make them for her. She had some strange quirks, and there were special rooms in the base for storing them. Everyone else had gotten used to it.
If she hadn't needed something to cover it up this time, she wouldn't have remembered any of this. She originally bought it just because it looked nice, and the lock was just a simple latch that opened with a "click".
Cheng Jin himself was stunned.
"This, you just brought it over like this? Without even locking it? Aren't you worried about something going wrong along the way?"
Cheng Jin was a meticulous person. Upon seeing this, he immediately felt uncertain and looked at the other boxes with a hint of worry.
Simple naturally knew it was foolproof; these were all put in after they arrived, so what could possibly go wrong?
But she couldn't persuade him otherwise, so she obediently agreed, shifting the blame onto some unknown connection.
"Uncle, I hadn't noticed until you mentioned it. It's probably because they were a group of men who didn't think of this at all and just thought that delivering it would be fine."
If they contact each other again, I'll have to give him a good talking to. If anything happens, he'll regret it terribly!
Cheng Jin carefully lifted the box.
"That's right, you'd better make this clear. If someone sees what's inside and traces it back to you, it'll be really hard to explain later."
These days, this stuff is a valuable commodity everywhere, and it's in very short supply.
"If we run into a greedy person, confiscating everything would be a minor issue. Knowing you have connections, they might even go so far as to commit murder and robbery. Who knows what other things they might do?"
This was something Jian Dan had never even considered. In her mind, it was simply impossible. Everything was in her base space; the gold bars were hers, and her connections were hers. This kind of thing was outside her comprehension.
However, Cheng Jin was indeed worried. She felt that Cheng Jin seemed to be worrying a lot more. Cheng Chao was a troublemaker who was always on duty, and on top of that, she was a girl who was completely unruly and would be talking about wild boars one day and wild boars the next.
She felt a little sorry for Cheng Jin; having two such troublesome people around must have made him lose a lot of hair.
"Okay, next time I'll have him make sure it's well-protected, maybe even impervious to swords and spears?"
Cheng Jin was speechless. Cheng Chao paused for a moment, then turned his head and silently curled the corners of his mouth. His sister knew how to annoy her uncle.
The packaging of medicines from later generations is definitely different from that of the 1960s, but coincidentally, the base was a place where knives and guns were used, and even if there were bullets, injuries were common.
The base has its own pharmaceutical factory, and it has complete production lines for almost all kinds of wound medicines and medical devices that hospitals use. Therefore, the inventory in the base is not the ordinary medicines on the market, but is produced by the base's own pharmaceutical factory.
The packaging is very simple, especially the outer packaging, which is quite rustic. Inside are the necessary foil, film, and granule packaging paper, and the outside is a thick kraft paper bag with the name of the medicine printed on it.
The main focus is on simplicity and returning to basics.
Even Cheng Jin couldn't quite believe it when he saw it.
"This is... an anti-inflammatory drug?"
He had seen pills wrapped in this kind of brown paper before, but those were all in hospitals, and they were all pills prescribed after a diagnosis, containing several different combinations, which he would then take according to the doctor's instructions.
This is the first time I've ever seen a product made entirely of kraft paper.
However, he was not ignorant. Since the start of the war, some small pharmaceutical factories had been quietly producing medicines. He had come into contact with two family-run workshops that had been practicing medicine for generations. However, the medicines they produced were in no way inferior to those from large pharmaceutical factories, and some were even better. This was a great help to them. However, they had always kept a low profile. They were patriotic, but they were cautious and would back down at the slightest sign of trouble.
He was surprised for a moment before he realized what was happening, and then he was even more shocked. He never expected that his niece could find such a way.
"Ah, it says what kind of medicine it is. If you're worried, have the army doctor take a look before using it."
Cheng Jin didn't say anything like "I believe you," but this was a necessary procedure. This was different from other things; if it wasn't used properly, it could be fatal.
Ten small boxes and chairs were lined up neatly on the ground, all filled with the same type of kraft paper. The last two were also wrapped in kraft paper, but they were noticeably larger and looked more like hard objects.
Jian Dan sat to the side, holding a teacup and drinking water. Cheng Jin stared at her silently for a long time without moving. Cheng Chao was worried that they hadn't eaten much that night, but when he saw the steamed buns they had brought back, he ate a few with Jian Dan. After he finished eating, he saw that Cheng Jin was still standing there in a daze.
She secretly whispered in Jian Dan's ear,
"Look at you, with such little composure, you're already scared?"
Xiao Wu and Lin Zi were guarding outside the door, and their voices could be clearly heard inside.
"Have they returned? Did Cheng Chao take his medicine?"
It was that military doctor.
Cheng Jin walked over in a few steps, lowering his voice.
"Just pretend you don't know anything, and say I bought it from the black market in another city through someone."
Cheng Chao lowered his head and pondered for two seconds.
"Let me talk about myself. I'm always out and about, often pretending, and I know all sorts of people, so it's normal."
You haven't been out for so many years. This statement doesn't hold water. What if your superiors come looking for you again? How will you handle that?
I can say it was a deal made before I came back, a one-off transaction, so it would be normal if I couldn't find it later.
Simple nodded in agreement, "Not bad."
This title certainly cannot be given to her. She was an educated youth sent to the countryside. Even hospitals and the army couldn't get their hands on these scarce medicines. How could you get so many? Doesn't that raise suspicion?
Normally it would be fine, but in this chaotic world, isn't this just courting death?
Cheng Jin was also worried that Jian Dan might have some reservations. After all, this was a great achievement, so he specifically looked up and saw her nodding repeatedly.
"Brother, you're still the most cunning one."
If someone asks you, just say you can't find that person, and there's nothing they can do about it.
Cheng Chao pointed at her with his only good hand.
"What do you mean by 'slippery'? In other words, I'm smart, okay?"
I've traveled all over the country this year, so isn't it normal to know a lot of people?
She turned her head and whispered something to Jian Dan.
"Don't worry, I won't let you suffer. I have some good stuff. I'll take you there sometime and give it all to you."
Cheng Jin pretended not to hear it; after all, she was the only girl in the family, so it was only natural.
Besides, he has no plans to start a family, and his things will eventually belong to his two children.
After agreeing on a solution, he raised his voice.
"Xiao Wu, go find Doctor Yang and tell him I have something very important to discuss with him."
The moment the words left his mouth, the door opened. The medic stood there with a half-smile. He knew perfectly well that these two were so cunning they could hear a mosquito breathing ten meters away, yet they were still pretending.
"Really? What a coincidence! I just arrived and you're already looking for me?"
