Chapter 41 You've become weaker!
Yun Zhao didn't hear it at first.
Chen Tingting's face immediately turned dark when she saw Xie Jingmo walking towards her from outside the tent.
After lowering her eyelashes, she smiled and said, "Doctor Yun, are you really no longer interested in Jing Mo?"
As she spoke, Chen Tingting nudged Yun Zhao with her elbow.
The pill in Yun Zhao's hand almost fell to the ground.
She was very annoyed by Chen Tingting's repeated tests and her asking for guarantees to enhance her sense of security.
"You are General Xie's most beloved one. Why do you always tell me this?"
Chen Tingting saw Xie Jingmo lift the curtain and come in, so she leaned forward to block Yun Zhao's light.
Yun Zhao didn't pay attention and immediately got angry. She waved her hand subconsciously.
Chen Tingting fell to the ground with a scream of "Ah!"
“What are you doing!”
While Yun Zhao was still stunned, someone strode in from outside the door.
The tall figure cast a shadow in the room.
Yun Zhao was still sitting on the low stool, looking up at Xie Jingmo with a dazed expression.
After a moment, he looked at Chen Tingting again.
Xie Jingmo frowned deeply, "Yun Zhao! You made the pills, but you didn't ask anyone to push you. So, now that you have the Queen Mother's support, you don't care about anyone anymore, right?"
Yun Zhao put down the pill and slowly stood up.
Xie Jingmo may not like her, but he cannot slander her.
Yun Zhao said, "I don't have any."
After saying that, Yun Zhao looked at Chen Tingting.
Chen Tingting's eyes were red as she held out her hands, which were slightly red from being rubbed by the rough sand and stones on the ground, to Xie Jingmo.
"Jing Mo, it hurts!"
Yun Zhao narrowed his eyes.
Xie Jingmo's cold gaze fell on Yun Zhao's face, "Why don't you go get the medicine box!"
The roar made Yun Zhao pause for a moment.
Then, she gave up all explanations, walked to the side, picked up the medicine box, and half-knelt in front of Chen Tingting to apply medicine for her.
"Jing Mo, don't blame Doctor Yun. It was my own carelessness."
As Chen Tingting spoke, she nestled in Xie Jingmo's arms, her voice soft and filled with tears.
"You've never been careless before, Doctor Yun. Is this how you take care of your customers? If anything really happens to Miss Chen, you won't be able to pay for it even if you have ten lives!"
Yun Zhao's hand had just been touched by the fire, and she deliberately ignored the stinging sensation. She lowered her head, looked at Chen Tingting's palm, which was now unharmed, and said lightly, "Yes, I will pay attention to it in the future."
Chen Tingting put her hand into Xie Jingmo's palm and rubbed it affectionately.
"Jing Mo, I know you treat me the best. You are the person who cares about me the most in this world."
After treating the wound, Xie Jingmo helped Chen Tingting leave.
Chen Tingting snuggled in Xie Jingmo's arms, "Jingmo, it's all my fault. I made you worry. It's so dark in the barracks at night. Let me sleep in your tent, okay?"
Yun Zhao had his back to them and heard Xie Jingmo say, "Okay."
There was a heavy rain that night.
The rain grew heavier and mountain torrents destroyed many tents in the military camp.
Outside the pharmacy, Yun Zhao had not recovered yet and dozed off for a while.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in from outside, and Yun Zhao didn't have time to take a closer look.
A big hand pulled her away from the precarious tent.
They had just walked a few steps out of the pharmacy when they heard a loud "boom!" and the pharmacy collapsed instantly, accompanied by a large amount of mud and sand rolling down.
Yun Zhao stared at the ruins in a daze. If they had come out a moment later, they would have been buried alive.
But--
Why did Xie Jingmo risk such a great risk to save her?
Yun Zhao looked up in confusion. Xie Jingmo looked at the ruins with a cold and deep expression on his face.
"Yun Zhao!" Xie Jingmo retracted his gaze and fell on Yun Zhao's fair and tender face, "You have become weaker!"
Yun Zhao was stunned.
In the past, she was afraid of hearing Xie Jingmo say that she was weak.
Because being weak means you will be eliminated.
The army doesn't need weak women, it needs men of steel. If she wants to stay, she needs to keep up and keep making herself stronger.
So, every time, whenever Xie Jingmo said she had become weaker.
She would then immerse herself in catching up.
I was afraid that I would become the person abandoned by Xie Jingmo.
"Really?" But this time, Yun Zhao was not afraid. She said calmly, "Maybe. I've always been weak."
Yun Zhao felt a little cold. She turned her head away from the ruins and said, "Let's go."
Xie Jingmo narrowed his eyes and stared at Yun Zhao's back for a long time.
The two went to the tent in a safe location.
As soon as Chen Tingting saw him, he rushed over and said, "Jing Mo, where have you been? I'm so scared. The wind and rain are so strong. I'm most afraid of thunder and lightning."
Xie Jingmo whispered comfortingly.
A soldier who went outside to investigate came in to report that a taxi outside that did not have time to retreat was injured by the collapsed soil.
Xie Jingmo turned to Doctor Gao and said, "Go out and take a look!"
Doctor Gao was already over sixty years old, and his body looked thin in his baggy military uniform. Yun Zhao picked up the medicine box and said, "I'll go too."
Xie Jingmo frowned, "Have you forgotten who saved you just now? Are you so eager to die?! You are not needed, just stay here!"
Xie Jingmo's tone was very impatient.
It was the same tone that used to look down on the weak.
"Doctor Gao can't handle it alone. It's windy and rainy outside. I'm familiar with the military camp. It's safer for me to go out with you."
With that, Yun Zhao picked up the medicine box and went out.
Doctor Gao thanked Yun Zhao in the wind and rain. Yun Zhao said softly, "Actually, I have selfish motives. I'm worried about my sister and brother-in-law. Besides, we've been brothers in the army together for seven years. I can't just sit back and watch."
The wind outside was really strong, and tents were uprooted one after another.
A big tree nearby collapsed with a loud bang.
The soldiers were caught off guard.
All of them tried their best to move the injured who could not move.
The screams echoed in the sky, mixed with the wind and rain, and seemed extremely terrifying.
Xie Jingmo was about to go out, but just as he took a step, he was grabbed by Chen Tingting.
Xie Jingmo frowned and turned his head.
Chen Tingting's eyes were red. "General, it's dangerous outside. You can't go out."
Xie Jingmo held on to his last bit of temper and said, "I am the general of this camp!"
Chen Tingting nodded, her tone quite serious. "I know you have a responsibility to protect your men, but Jing Mo, it's really too dangerous out there. I don't want you to go. If anyone out there dies or gets injured, I'll ask my father to commend them and comfort their families. They'll have died a worthy death, and then they can receive a large pension. Isn't that just right?"
"Those people's families can live a good life with this money, so it's worth dying for, right? Why go out at such a dangerous time? If we lose our soldiers, we can just recruit more later."
The lives of poor people are worthless.
Chen Tingting didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said.
