The little one quickly picked up the teacup from the bedside table and carefully fed it to his mouth.
Jian Dan was still a little dazed, and he was already enjoying the girl's filial piety?
After drinking some water and calming down, Jian Dan felt a little more energetic and, with Qin Qinghuai's help, sat up.
"Is the child alright? He fell asleep very quickly last night, so I didn't get a good look. Are there any external injuries or anything?"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the other two adults in the room darkened. Qin Qinghuai could tell from the little brat's expression that he was torn between whether or not to punish him.
"She's fine. She ate and drank her fill and only woke up when we came down the mountain. You're the one who's in trouble."
The old lady also came over.
"Daughter-in-law, how are you feeling? Is there anything else that hurts? Your father and I are taking care of the baby in the hospital these days, so you can focus on getting better."
After moving around a bit, I realized my whole body felt like it had been run over by a car; it ached all over.
"What happened to me? I don't remember being injured. Why does everything hurt?"
Qin Qinghuai's expression darkened further.
“There were no external injuries, but you fainted and had a fever when you came down the mountain. You were unconscious for a day and a night. This is the second day after you came down the mountain at noon.”
"So fast?"
I was startled, and then it suddenly dawned on me that something had happened.
Where is that person?
"Which person?"
Qin Qinghuai has been completely focused on Jian Dan these past two days, paying no attention to anything else at all.
"Is anyone else going up the mountain?"
"Daughter-in-law, are you talking about the person the wolf carried out of the mountains?"
The old lady did know a little, since the old man was there.
"Don't worry, listen to your dad. He said the person has been rescued. He said they were an important person and were sent directly to the interrogation room. I didn't ask them anything else."
"Everyone's alright, don't worry."
She's self-aware; retirement is retirement, and she never asks questions she shouldn't.
“But on the way here, I heard from Xiaolin that you and the child have done another good deed.”
The "Little Lin" the old lady was referring to was Regiment Commander Lin.
Last time, they discovered a bomb buried at the foot of the mountain in another direction. Who is this important person this time? The three-year-old has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, but his parents are going to have to endure a lot of fright.
As they were talking, Commander Lin arrived. Upon entering and seeing that Jian Dan was awake, he burst into laughter.
"Sister-in-law, you're awake? Oh, that's great! I knew you'd be alright. Now the political commissar can finally relax."
A simple twitch of the corners of the mouth,
"Commander, is there some good news? You seem overjoyed?"
"Haha! You figured it out?"
Now that Jian Dan was awake, Qin Qinghuai was in the mood to talk.
"You're smiling like an idiot; even a blind person could see it."
Commander Lin didn't take his teasing to heart.
"Haha, you can tell now, it is indeed good news."
Sister-in-law, do you know who the people you brought back from the mountains are?
He paused for a moment, then shook his head.
Bring them back? Not rescue them?
"Have we gotten ourselves into trouble?"
"Ha ha!"
Commander Lin burst into laughter again.
"No, that's not good, you've done a great service."
Then he turned to Qin Qinghuai.
"Political Commissar, do you still remember what happened during the Spring Festival last year, no, the year before?"
Qin Qinghuai quickly remembered,
"Prey thrown into the camp?"
"right!"
Commander Lin slapped his thigh.
"That time, we didn't catch the culprit, right? Later, my sister-in-law went up the mountain and killed a large number of animals. Remember that?"
What does a simple blink have to do with her?
"Haha! The person my sister-in-law brought out is the mastermind behind that trap, that bastard, he's the one who suggested it."
Besides, we always thought it was those Russian neighbors next door who were up to something, and we even caused them trouble!
"Isn't it?"
Qin Qinghuai frowned and thought for a moment. Given the circumstances and the useful clues at the scene, the person they would most likely suspect was the neighboring village, which was separated by a narrow strip of land and shared the same mountain range.
"This person, isn't it? What did he say?"
When it came to serious matters, Commander Lin also put away his unreliable manner.
"Damn it, sister-in-law, didn't the troops destroy a laboratory in the mountains before they were stationed here?"
"ah?"
She was momentarily stunned. Was this related to her again?
"Yes, but it was several years ago,"
That was quite a large-scale event; Cheng Jin and Lin Zhengde both went up the mountain.
"Is this person connected to that incident?"
Commander Lin slapped his thigh.
"Of course there's a connection, isn't there? I heard from them before that although the lab was under control, the real person in charge hadn't been caught. And coincidentally, that person is it."
It was a lucky accident.
I heard that my sister-in-law played a significant role in what happened last time, but in the end, she couldn't escape and still ended up in your family's hands.
Qin Qinghuai and Jian Dan exchanged a glance.
"What a coincidence?"
A cold sweat broke out on Jian Dan's back, and he was filled with lingering fear. Thank goodness this demon wasn't conscious, otherwise the little brat...
Qin Qinghuai gently patted her hand.
"Don't worry, it's alright. Don't scare yourself."
"Commander, is the testimony credible?"
"pretty close.
According to his confession, he happened to be away when the laboratory was destroyed, thus escaping the disaster.
After the laboratory was destroyed, he was left all alone in the mountains for the past few years. He faced inconveniences in every aspect of life and encountered obstacles in his experiments. He also frequently encountered wild animals, which he had to hide from. Seeing that the wild animals were very strong and that he could not fight them alone, he decided to try to divert the trouble to our side, as a way to vent his anger.
