Chapter 169: New Year's Gift
Ruan Anan returned the book to Zhu Yaoyao. "I can only read it briefly because there are too many technical terms. Let Dr. Zhu explain it to everyone."
Zhu Yaoyao nodded, took the book, glanced at it, and started talking again, "I just looked through the medical books inside and found a problem."
“Most of what’s discussed there is about antibodies.”
"Antibodies..." Xiao Li and Wu Wei brought a small stool over and sat down next to Zhu Yaoyao.
Not to mention the two children who had no chance to go to school, even the principal Zhu Lijuan looked puzzled.
The word antibody is too unfamiliar to people of this generation.
Zhu Yaoyao thought for a moment and continued to explain, "Antibodies are scientifically called immunoglobulins with biological benefits produced by human plasma cells."
"Broadly speaking, it means making you immune to a certain virus. For example, cowpox actually inoculates your body with antibodies."
"Most of these books are about various viruses."
"And then..."
Having said that, Zhu Yaoyao silently turned his gaze to Xiao Li. This look as if he was looking at an object made Xiao Li very uncomfortable, and he shuddered subconsciously.
Ruan Anan narrowed her eyes slightly and asked tentatively, "Miasma?"
"Poisonous miasma." When Zhu Yaoyao looked at Ruan Anan, the serious expression on his face gradually melted away. No wonder Zhu Lijuan said that Ruan Anan was smart and clever.
Moreover, she is indeed capable.
Even native English speakers may not be able to recognize all the English words above.
Of course, she overthought it.
Ruan Anan didn't recognize it, but guessed it.
Xiao Li's spine was already soaked with cold sweat, "Why can't I understand?"
"Could it be that there's an egg called a resistance body that can resist miasma when injected into the body?"
"Then the others on Nansha Island and I who were able to enter the mountain weren't blessed by the Heavenly Official, but were inoculated with this egg?"
Zhu Lijuan sighed with some heartache.
What does "Heaven Official's Blessing" mean? If what Zhu Yaoyao and Ruan Anan said is true, doesn't it mean that poor Xiao Li was used as a test subject?
This bunch of hateful enemy spy forces.
Zhu Yaoyao patted Xiao Li's shoulder soothingly, "This is why I drew so much blood from you."
"We have limited tools and equipment here right now, and I don't know what they vaccinated you with."
"The only thing that is certain is that all your physical indicators are normal."
"I haven't been able to cause you any harm yet."
Xiao Li's tension finally relaxed. He pretended to be casual and stood up and walked towards the kitchen. "I told you, there are no fairy sisters on the mountain."
"As for me, I'd better go prepare our New Year's Eve dinner."
"I'm going too!" Wu Wei stood up and chased after him.
After making sure the two had left, Ruan Anan asked cautiously, "You mean, temporarily?"
"Yes, for now." Zhu Yaoyao said noncommittally, "If they really succeeded in developing it, why would they need Zhu Wei to travel thousands of miles to transport advanced foreign books to them?"
"So, they must have failed."
"Just because Xiao Li isn't hurt now doesn't mean there won't be any damage in the future."
"So we have to get into the mountains as soon as possible."
"We have to go into the mountains." Qi Changan pounded his fist heavily on the back of the sofa. "These people must be trapped in the mountains, so they thought of asking Zhu Wei to deliver things in the name of visiting relatives."
"If Xiao Ruan hadn't discovered that the two children had been swapped, I'm afraid these things would have been sent to the mountains."
"If these experiments want to get accurate data, they can only use ordinary people."
"If there is a Xiao Li, there will be countless Xiao Zhangs and Xiao Wangs."
"We have to act quickly."
Xu Yancheng looked at Ruan Anan, "What do you think?"
Ruan Anan pursed her lips. "Since they suspect there's a medical laboratory in the mountains, it means they probably have biological weapons."
"I think we still have to take a long-term view."
"We have to minimize casualties. When the time comes, why not..."
Xu Yancheng saw the thief in her eyes and understood what she meant. "You mean, to lure the snake out of its hole?"
"Right!" Ruan Anan sneered, "Ever since you liberated Nansha Island, they've been trapped in the mountains."
"I think they are more anxious than we are."
"After all these years, they must have come down the mountain to purchase supplies when the ferry arrives."
"So, they must have a way of connecting."
"According to our speculation, Zhu Wei had already told Qi Sisi her identity. If she wanted to live a good life, she would definitely contact the contact person."
"Connectors, connectors, connectors."
"I think we just need to release Qi Sisi and then follow the clues."
"Yes, this is a good idea." Qi Changan agreed with Ruan Anan's idea. "It's a good idea to win without fighting and catch as many of them as possible in one fell swoop."
"The ferry service won't resume until after the second day of the second lunar month, so the most urgent thing is to have a good Chinese New Year."
Xu Yancheng glanced at Ruan Anan and carefully instructed, "Stay here with Principal Zhu. I'll go prepare the food with Shou Zhang."
There are exactly four women in the family, enough to play mahjong at a table.
Zhu Lijuan took Zhu Yaoyao, Gao Ruoyun and Ruan Anan to sit at the mahjong table they hadn't seen for a long time.
She touched the somewhat unfamiliar mahjong tiles, her eyes welling up. "For so many years, I've been looking forward to having a happy New Year, and this year it finally came true."
Gao Ruoyun couldn't help but tease, "Aunt, what's the point now? Only when my cousin gets married and has children will we be truly happy."
Qi Chi had just been assigned here to serve in the bureau. After hearing what Gao Ruoyun said, his eyes unconsciously glanced at Zhu Yaoyao.
She looked so handsome just now when she was standing there talking about the medical book!
Ruan Anan couldn't help but laugh, "What? Are the female educated youth of the new era also bound by traditional ideas? Do they have to get married and have children? Do you have a crush on someone?"
Gao Ruoyun's cheeks flushed, and she scolded, "What are you talking about?"
"I just, just!"
"Eat some fruit." Qi Chi came over and put the fruit aside, then asked in a low voice, "We have coffee, tea, and scented tea at home. What do you drink?"
"Cousin, you were kicked out of the kitchen?" Gao Ruoyun realized Qi Chi was behind her and couldn't help asking curiously, "You were abandoned by the men?"
Qi Chi smiled awkwardly, "Captain Xu said they need to study the strategy of exploring the mountains. I'm not from the military region, so it's not convenient for me to listen."
"Let me provide you with logistical support."
Gao Ruoyun sneered, "He's worried that Xiao Li and Wu Wei will cling to Sister An An, so he wants to find an honest person to put his mind at ease."
Qi Chi smiled and turned to look at Zhu Yaoyao, "What would you like to drink, Doctor Zhu?"
"Latte? Is that okay?" Zhu Yaoyao arranged his mahjong tiles and turned to look at Qi Chi. "Will it be difficult?"
