The usually cheerful child now had a tense expression, with his eyebrows furrowed into undulating hills. I don't know if it was just my imagination, but his face seemed to have lost a lot of weight.
Upon seeing Jian Dan, she immediately pouted, and tears streamed down her face.
"Sister, Xiao An, something's happened! Sister, something's happened! Waaah!"
Jian Dan shuddered.
She thought it was Cheng Chao, and now she couldn't tell whether it was an accident or a relief.
However, his heart immediately tightened again. The two children usually stayed at the camp, so minor injuries during training were normal, but Cheng Rui's expression clearly indicated something unusual.
"Xiao An, what happened?"
Ultimately, it's still a loose end left over from Cheng Jia's incident.
The two men who broke into the cowshed last time have been caught. During interrogation, they confessed that they had several accomplices, but they refused to disclose the arrangements and plans of their accomplices.
The case involved a very large network, and they had no choice but to take precautions from multiple angles. Cheng Chao's trip was also related to this case. However, no one expected that despite all the precautions, the other party would be so audacious as to infiltrate the military camp and launch a sneak attack while most of their troops were out training with Lin Zhengde.
It was their carelessness that led them to leave the camp with cooks and sick soldiers, making their precautions much more relaxed than usual.
However, the two weren't stupid; instead of going through the main gate, they crawled through a dog hole in the woods on the side.
Presumably seeking revenge, they chose the water tank in the canteen. Coincidentally, everyone was picking vegetables in the greenhouse, so they managed to slip the poison in smoothly. However, their furtive departure was spotted by Cheng An, who was looking for Master Zhang.
Fearing a leak, the two men decided to capture the child.
Cheng An and his companion have been training for so long that their skills have improved considerably. Against adult men, it would be a bit difficult for someone like Cheng Chao who has martial arts skills, but against people with average skills, they are still quite confident.
Even if you don't defeat them, dodging and surviving is no problem.
Seeing this, the two men were afraid that their men would return, so their eyes darkened and they prepared to kill them.
Cheng An was somewhat confident in his unarmed combat, but when his opponent revealed a weapon, Cheng An, who had no real combat experience, became somewhat timid and lacked confidence. His movements became restricted, and he accidentally injured his arm.
Cheng Jin and his friends came out of the greenhouse laughing and joking, only to see this scene. Cheng Rui immediately became like an angry little leopard, screaming and roaring as he charged over.
They grew up together and were twins, so their bond was something no one else could compare to.
The sudden external force threw the two, who were already feeling guilty, into a panic. Their weapons went awry, and Cheng An let out another muffled groan, staggering back two steps before regaining his footing.
Cheng Rui's anger flared up, and he didn't care about anything else, using both his hands and feet, his fists flying everywhere.
Cheng Jin was a little anxious, but after seeing that Cheng An was not in any danger, he stopped everyone from going forward to help. This was a rare opportunity for real combat, and it was right under their noses, so it was really quite suitable.
The two brothers worked together to hold the man down, and Cheng Jin and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Their attention then shifted to the two children, especially Cheng An. His thin military green jacket was stained bright red with blood, and his face was deathly pale. As soon as he relaxed, he felt dizzy and fainted.
Unfortunately, Lao Yang went out with the training team, and his return date was uncertain.
Those few who were in charge of the house, Cheng Jin and the others were all veterans of the battlefield. Although they weren't professionals, they could still perform basic first aid.
As a result, Cheng An developed a high fever that evening. At this point, nothing Cheng Jin said could help, and Cheng Rui insisted on coming to find Jian Dan.
It's likely that the previous simplicity left them with the impression that he was omnipotent. Seeing his younger brother lying in the hospital bed, even the usually sensible Cheng Rui couldn't help but feel sad. It took Cheng Jin a lot of persuasion to convince him to go again the next day.
The two boys had always given Jian Dan the impression of being strong and optimistic, and this was the first time she had seen them so vulnerable. It saddened her deeply.
"Alright, alright, I'll go with you later. You're not allowed to cry. Does Xiao An still have a fever?"
Cheng Rui sobbed.
"His fever would come back after it subsided. Uncle Yang wasn't around, and we didn't have any fever reducers, so I just kept wiping his body down."
My nose started to sting with tears. It must be tough on this child. He must be thinking about his parents who aren't around right now.
Yet she still had to pretend to be strong and take care of her younger brother.
"good,"
Thinking this, Jian Dan's voice softened considerably.
"You eat something first. I'll go find the village chief and see if Uncle Mu can come with us. Otherwise, none of us will understand, so let's not delay Xiao An any further."
Cheng Rui then stopped crying and started to smile.
In other villages, such a thing would naturally be met with heightened vigilance and strict precautions.
However, in Liujiatun, especially with just a few words, it's basically no big deal.
This matter could be considered a big deal or a small deal. These people who were sent down to the countryside, unless there were special circumstances, were not usually watched. As long as they worked honestly and did not cause trouble, they would not attract anyone's attention. This was the case with Lao Mu. After he came, apart from bringing a child with him, even Liu Weimin could not find fault with him.
Not to mention, Jian also mentioned that the destination was a military camp, so Liu Weimin had even less reason to object. He was already worried about not having a chance to repay the kindness he had gained from working in the vegetable greenhouses.
"Go quickly, go quickly, don't rush. I'll give you a few more days of the letter of introduction. In case something happens and you need to go out, don't let it delay things."
