In the military hospital in Harbin, He Chaoyang was injured again. Lying in his hospital bed, all he could think about were the two bottles of water his wife had given him.
Their mission this time is to rescue the granddaughter of a leader in Beijing.
The girl was tricked out of her home; she had been dreaming of a beautiful love and eloping with her boyfriend.
It wasn't until they arrived at the small border town that she discovered her boyfriend was actually an enemy agent. The reason he chose her was simply because her grandfather possessed a large number of state secrets needed by the enemy agents.
Her boyfriend's so-called elopement was nothing more than a plan to lure her abroad, control her, and use her to blackmail her grandfather into obtaining the secrets he possessed.
But by the time the girl found out her boyfriend's secret, it was too late; she couldn't escape now.
So he could only leave clues discreetly, hoping that his grandfather would discover his disappearance soon and send someone to look for him.
Fortunately, the girl's grandfather discovered her disappearance in time and tracked her down based on the clues she left behind. However, the last clue she left was that her group had entered the mountains, seemingly intending to cross the border through these mountains.
Because this leader's children and wife all sacrificed their lives during the Liberation War, he only had this granddaughter left to depend on for survival.
Therefore, the country and the military attached great importance to this mission, which is why they did not hesitate to recall He Chaoyang, who was on leave. This was because He Chaoyang was quite familiar with the situation in the mountains and was the most skilled at tracking.
He Chaoyang did not disappoint everyone. He led a team into the mountains overnight and tracked down the group of people in the early hours of the next day.
Around noon, they located the group of enemy agents who had stopped to rest and eat, and engaged in a fierce battle with them.
He braved gunfire and fought valiantly. Just when the girl's so-called boyfriend saw that there was no way to escape, he planned to kill the girl to vent his anger. Unfortunately, He Chaoyang took the fatal bullet for the girl while rescuing the hostage, and was shot in the chest.
As He Chaoyang collapsed, he thought of the two bottles of water his wife had given him.
So he hurriedly dragged the terrified hostage behind a big tree, and with his last bit of strength, he unscrewed the bottle cap and drank all the water in it.
What happened next completely overturned He Chaoyang's beliefs that he had held for many years.
The water in the bottle was clear and sweet, and it gave him a refreshing feeling as soon as he tasted it. Even more miraculously, after the water entered his stomach, the unstoppable bleeding in his chest miraculously stopped slowly, and his fading consciousness gradually cleared up.
Only He Chaoyang knew that if it weren't for the bottle of water his wife gave him, he would probably have lost his life today.
After recovering a bit, He Chaoyang worked with his teammates to eliminate the remaining enemies. He then had the medics on the team give him a quick bandage and didn't forget to ask the guard for another bottle of water back.
He was terrified that his wife's secret would be discovered by others, so even his trusted bodyguard, who was willing to take a bullet for him in a critical moment, was not an option.
The water tasted very similar to the water that Shuning usually gave him, except that the usual water was a bit bland, unlike the water that had an indescribable sweetness upon entering the mouth.
At the time, he only thought that the water quality of the well in the educated youth settlement was good. Now that he thinks about it, the water that Shuning usually gave him to drink must have been diluted with this kind of water.
Looking back now, it seems that since he met Shu Ning, some of his old injuries have healed, and he no longer feels that soreness and numbness on cloudy or rainy days.
These must all be the effects of this magical water. It seems that my wife conjured up the water bottle out of thin air and then added water into it out of thin air as well.
Where did this water come from? I didn't think much about it before I knew this kind of water existed, but now that I know my wife has this magical water.
Upon reflection, those strange things that had happened before seemed to make sense.
Why did the water in the well in my grandparents' yard have that familiar taste ever since the day the two families met? And why did my grandparents' health improve at a visible speed, even some of their age-related ailments disappear?
It must have been this silly girl who added this magical water to the well.
And when they were at his maternal grandparents' house, no matter how tired he was, his wife would insist on making a pot of tea for his grandparents every day. She must have used this magical water.
Since Shuning moved into Jingyuan, his grandparents' health has improved at a visible speed. This is not just because the two old people are happy to see him get married, but clearly all thanks to his wife and the magical spring water.
He Chaoyang was deeply moved. He just wanted to see his wife as soon as possible, so as soon as he arrived at the hospital, he didn't even go into the operating room. He called the commander and said he wanted to see his wife.
That's why the commander sent someone to find Chen Shuning.
Meanwhile, Chen Shuning arrived at the hospital, while He Chaoyang was still in the operating room.
The bullet was close to his heart, making the surgery difficult. The doctors who performed the surgery thought it was a miracle that He Chaoyang could hold on until he reached the hospital with such injuries.
Chen Shuning could only wait anxiously outside the operating room, her heart filled with worry and fear.
She didn't know if He Chaoyang could get through this. She was afraid of losing him, but there was nothing she could do.
All she could do was pray, hoping that God would protect him and keep him safe.
Finally, the surgery was over, and He Chaoyang was wheeled out of the operating room.
Chen Shuning rushed to his side, and seeing his pale face and the thick bandages wrapped around his chest, she couldn't help but shed tears.
