Mingzhu had just squeezed through the crowd, wiping the sweat from her brow wearily. She saw Jian Dan and Commander Lin talking in the distance. Seeing that no one was paying attention, she quietly slipped out of the crowd and hurried over.
"You're back? Let me see, are you alright? You're really brave, running up the mountain with a child in your arms. It's so cold in the middle of winter, how did you get through the night?"
As we spoke, I took Simple's hand in mine; it was warm, and I felt a little relieved.
"It's alright, not too cold. You, you, can you really bear to leave the child at home?"
Mingzhu knew that Jian Dan wasn't the type to cause trouble for no reason. With something like this happening, not only the family compound but the military area had mobilized almost all their resources. It was normal for her to be upset. She was someone who could come and go freely in the mountains, so she probably wanted to do something too. But she couldn't help being worried, so she started complaining as soon as they met.
It was simple and understandable; I let her examine it over and over.
"Don't worry, don't you know me? I won't act rashly if I'm not sure about something, don't worry."
"By the way, how's the little one? Did he cry?"
Mingzhu immediately rolled her eyes at him.
“I thought you’d forgotten about the child. I went to see her yesterday, and she’s having a great time. Those older brothers are really good, surrounding her and coaxing her. The old lady even joked that if this keeps up, the children will take over all the work, and she, as the grandmother, won’t have any use.”
She knew in her heart that the old man and woman wouldn't treat the child badly, but as a mother, she was instinctively worried about everything except herself.
"Okay, as long as no one is causing trouble."
"It's alright. The other day, Grandpa even carried her out during the day. She didn't fuss at all. She was so well-behaved. She just followed Grandpa around. When two of the kids got into a fight and started crying, she even took out her own candy to comfort them. She's such a little girl, but she speaks so seriously that the two kids were too embarrassed to fight back."
Oh, by the way, over here, let me tell you about the situation.
Two elderly people fainted upon hearing the news and are still in the hospital.
The Liu family's daughter-in-law had just become pregnant, as Dr. Tang had discovered. They had just received the good news when they heard this terrible news—she almost miscarried, and Dr. Tang had to keep her at the hospital.
"Second Aunt is back?"
Mingzhu paused for a moment, then realized it had come to this matter.
"Not only Second Aunt, but Uncle Jian and Brother Chao have also returned, as have Uncle Xiao and Lin Dongfang's uncle,"
His tone was noticeably different from before, hesitant, and seemed to harbor some reluctance. He looked at her with simple surprise.
"What's wrong? Isn't it good news that they're back? Why the long face?"
She didn't think much of it; this was a major incident, and it was normal for Lin Zhengde and Cheng Jin to come. However, Mingzhu's hesitant words suggested something she didn't want to hear, forcing her to confront the situation.
"Mingzhu, with our relationship, what can't we talk about? Tell me, is it the children? Or my in-laws?"
Mingzhu kept shaking her head.
"What's that?"
After hesitating for a long time, Mingzhu couldn't open her mouth. She was getting anxious, and this matter really couldn't be delayed.
"Yes, Uncle Jian,"
"Uncle Jian?"
He paused for a moment, then his heart suddenly skipped a few beats.
"My dad? My dad, didn't he come back? Could it be that he's injured again?"
still?"
It's hard to describe the feeling simply. To say that she had a deep relationship with this late-life father would be an exaggeration. The original owner of this body wasn't even familiar with him, let alone her, the daughter who transmigrated halfway through her life. It would be more accurate to say that she only met him after Jian Liye's 'resurrection'.
But after returning, Jian Liye has been making up for her, giving her everything he has. This trip was also for her, because of the previous phone call, he wanted to investigate Jian Zhong thoroughly. Even if it was really arranged by the old man, he wanted to hand over a clean business to her.
As a father, he is qualified; he is simple but not heartless, and one can naturally sense that.
At this sudden sound, I felt a bit weightless, and everything in front of me became a blur. I couldn't even hear what I was saying.
"My dad, what happened to him?"
Mingzhu held on tightly, not daring to let go.
"Dandan, you need to calm down. Uncle Jian is injured and hasn't woken up yet."
With a simple stumble,
"So, Second Aunt came here because of him?"
Mingzhu's face was streaked with tears as she clung to Jian Dan, refusing to let go.
"Yes, Uncle Jian arrived yesterday. They had just left the mountain when Brother Chao brought Uncle Jian back."
Chao Ge contacted Second Aunt in advance, and they arrived almost at the same time. Then Second Aunt and Dr. Yang from the local hospital stayed in the operating room until this morning. We've been at the hospital the whole time. Second Aunt said that the injury was too severe, and Uncle Jian is still holding on to his last breath, probably waiting for you to come back.
"In one breath?"
Simple's eyes widened suddenly, her pupils filled with shock.
"One, one breath?"
"Hold on, don't panic, maybe, maybe there's another way?"
Simple's mind went completely blank; she had no clue or idea what to do, and her hands and feet wouldn't obey her commands.
Commander Lin, who was listening from the side, didn't care about the thoughts he had just started to have. He quickly ordered someone to find Qin Qinghuai and replace him. Putting aside the kinship, Jian Liye's relationship was also transferred over, and he was also from their military region.
Now we need to prioritize.
Qin Qinghuai missed this matter while going up the mountain, and was busy as soon as he came down. Qin Yi and the others couldn't catch him at all, and hadn't had time to tell him. When he heard this, he was startled, quickly put down what he was doing, and ran away.
