"young married woman?"
"Sister? Xiao An?"
They initially thought it was a wild animal coming down the mountain, or a villager from nearby coming up, but to their surprise, they saw several familiar figures. The group quickly surrounded them.
Cheng Rui then threw himself at Ji Xiang.
"Xiao An, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine,"
Upon seeing the person, Jian Dan, without bothering to say anything else, pointed to the figure on Ruyi's body.
"Quick, Brother Zheng is injured. He was shot in the back. I stopped the bleeding, gave him some ginseng slices, and rushed him to the clinic."
The new hospital is still under construction, but the village clinic has already been expanded in preparation. The current medical staff and medicines are much better.
“Xiao An is also injured. Send him to the hospital for treatment first. I’ll tell you in a bit.”
The two young soldiers who came down the mountain with him helped put the person down. Qin Yi and several guards had already efficiently had a stretcher brought over. Zheng Aiguo had already fainted. Cheng An was alright, but he was also exhausted and his spirits were low. When he saw familiar people and relaxed, he couldn't hold on any longer.
"Don't push yourself if you're tired. Now that we're home, go get your injury treated first, and I'll come see you in a bit."
Cheng An forced his eyelids open.
"Sis, I'm fine. You should rest for a while. Or we can have the army doctor take a look at you. I'll be relieved when you get back. Don't overdo it."
A gunshot wound—that's a serious problem. Xi Ping'an and the others stopped investigating and gathered around. Qin Qinghuai frowned, picked up Jian Dan, and...
"Let's find a quiet place to talk. Can't you see how tired my wife is?"
"Ahem, wait a minute, let me explain the important points first. Commander, you guys go up and provide support."
I'd just heard about the coal mine, and now I hear it again...
"What? Someone with a gun?"
"Yes, there are quite a few people. Battalion Commander Xu doesn't know how to handle it, and he's not sure if they're in cahoots with that illegal coal mine. With so many people, they'll fight like madmen. Xiao An also has bullet grazes. Brother Zheng, Brother Zheng took a bullet for Xiao An and that's why he's like this."
The group exchanged glances. If this were the case, it wouldn't just be a logistical issue anymore. Commander Lin made a decisive decision.
"I'll go, Political Commissar, you stay here, I'll go."
Sister-in-law, you should also go to the clinic. It's such a hassle for you, a pregnant woman. I thought it would be a simple exploration mission, but I didn't expect so many things to happen, and I've made you go through all that trouble again.
"Hey, Chen Dashan, you guys lead the way,"
"I'll go too."
Are you sure? Were you scared when you came back just now?
Cheng Rui shook his head.
"Sister, I'm fine. I'm a man, and I can be even braver."
"Commander,"
He glanced briefly at the figure at the foot of the mountain.
"Captain, let Xiao Rui come along too. With him there, Xiao Huihui and the other dogs won't resist too much."
"Little Grey, you're a great hero today, so amazing! I'll cook you something to eat another day. Could you help me send them back up the mountain? You're the king of the forest, with you around, nothing dares to come near."
"Awoo!"
She probably wouldn't understand, but since there was no objection, she took it as an agreement.
Before leaving, he gave a brief and whispered explanation.
"Good as it may be, it's still a wolf. You need to be a little wary, understand?"
She wasn't worried about the dogs, but she felt she didn't completely trust the wolf.
"I put some food in your bag. The meat is for them, so don't be stingy with it, okay?"
Cheng Jin, seeing Cheng Rui like this, felt a surge of relief. He patted Cheng Rui's shoulder, which was almost as tall as him.
"Not bad, not bad, young man, you've taken responsibility."
Cheng Rui was embarrassed.
"Uncle, don't say I came to see him. I want to learn from my sister. Go and check on Xiao An. I haven't even looked closely at how badly he's injured. Go and see him, tell him to get proper treatment, and listen to the army doctor."
Commander Lin led the team, and Lin Zhengde, feeling uneasy, followed along. After the main force left, Jian Dan, feeling somewhat exhausted, leaned against Qin Qinghuai.
"Honey, shall we go to the clinic?"
Qin Qinghuai's eyes were full of worry and anxiety. He even wanted to forcibly take the person over. It was a round trip, and it was easy to imagine that Zheng Aiguo and Cheng An were both injured and had discovered so many things. Jian Dan certainly couldn't just sit still; she must have taken action as well. Just look at the dried bloodstains on her body.
My heart aches, I feel terrible, so I simply soothe her in a low voice.
"Go and see, so I can rest assured, okay?"
Cheng Jin and Xi Ping'an also looked over with concern. Simple and helpless, she could only agree.
“Okay, I also need to see Xiao An and Brother Zheng. Let me tell you, you must do everything you can to save Brother Zheng. He took the bullet for Xiao An. If anything happens, Xiao An will definitely not be able to get over it.”
"Okay, don't worry."
At this point, the meeting was definitely not going to take place. Moreover, the remaining people, strictly speaking, were all from the same family, so to avoid suspicion, they wouldn't discuss such matters at this time.
When they arrived at the clinic, Zheng Aiguo was in the operating room, and Cheng An had his wounds treated and was already asleep in his ward.
The group glanced at Cheng An, then went to wait outside the operating room. After sitting for a while, Jian Dan's mind finally started working.
"Uncle, you should go back and rest. It's not appropriate for leaders of your rank to be here guarding things."
"Uncle, why don't you go back and rest too? The surgery here won't be finished for a while. You should rest first, and we'll send someone to call you if needed."
There were outsiders present. After she finished speaking, Qin Qinghuai, the political commissar, had to step in and politely escort her to her dormitory. She simply stayed there to guard her. Whether it was for official business or because she was a political commissar's family member or Cheng An's family member, she could not leave.
