Chapter 426 She is a mortal
Xi Bao held up the mechanical bird, grinning, "Auntie, awesome!"
"Auntie's skill goes far beyond just carving a bird," Feng Xiaowan said with a smile.
Her eyes were red and swollen, her brows were tired, but her expression was resolute and unwavering.
Someone came to report to her.
"Boss, we've chosen two shops in total..."
Feng Xiaowan spoke clearly and gave specific instructions: "Divide everything into two rooms, one for guests and one for display. The shelves will be divided into five tiers, with a space in the middle left as a basket rack to display discounted products..."
This isn't Ming'an County; it's full of restaurants and out-of-town merchants.
I told Aunt Cuihua, "Let's make a set of gifts and a special gift set..."
She possesses both the gentleness of a woman and the demeanor of a strong woman.
poised and confident, handling things with ease.
It matches Landwind perfectly, a perfect match.
They are such a happy family. If someone were to interfere in their marriage, it would be extremely infuriating and a heinous crime!
Huang Yuzhen looked away and turned to look at Lu Qingqing.
He solemnly said, "Dean Lu, I request permission to go up the mountain again for another test run of the artillery."
Lu Qingqing asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure?"
"Confirmed. All data has been checked. The durability has been increased to the maximum, and the gunpowder ratio has been divided into three levels. We will test each level step by step, unlike before when we were reckless."
"Okay, I believe you." Lu Qingqing repeated the same statement.
But she didn't do nothing during this time.
She also reflected on her own actions regarding this mistake.
Too careless, failed to take the best precautions.
"Wait two more days, and I will make you new armor and protective clothing."
Once it's delivered, put it on before you go.
The armor and helmet were forged from high-strength steel, and the protective clothing consisted of thick cotton padded with copper mirrors—double protection. The test could fail, but there could be no further casualties.
Huang Yuzhen was very anxious.
She was eager to succeed and to make up for her previous mistakes.
Although everyone says it wasn't just her mistake, she just can't let it go.
But what Lu Qingqing said deeply moved her.
The steel is extremely precious and requires a huge amount of resources to produce. In the army, only generals wear this kind of armor, yet Lu Qingqing actually made it for them, craftsmen who don't even have official ranks!
The experiment may fail, but there must be no more casualties.
She really... puts human life first, just like the slogan in the college says.
Whether you're a general or a foot soldier.
Human life has no inherent value.
"yes."
From that moment on, Lu Qingqing was towering and sacred in Huang Yuzhen's heart, someone she would always look up to.
...
Another two weeks have passed.
Lu Feng still showed no signs of waking up.
Lu Qingqing prepared a nutrient solution and administered it daily to ensure his body functioned normally.
Feng Xiaowan also slept with him, talking to him, massaging him, and exercising him every day.
The renowned doctors invited from all over the country said that given Lu Feng's injuries, there was no hope of recovery, and that he was still alive was a miracle in itself.
They came here for two reasons: first, they were invited to see a doctor; second, they wanted to see whether the renowned dean of Datong Medical College was a fraud or truly capable.
Upon closer inspection, it's clear that its reputation is well-deserved.
Two of them stayed on as teachers at the medical school.
Because medical knowledge is endless, and medical schools have a vast collection of precious books.
They were not only teachers, but also students eager to learn more.
For those who didn't keep their medical books, Lu Qingqing gave them away politely.
Before leaving, one of them hesitated for a long time, but still mentioned a rare medicine that had been passed down from his ancestors.
"Legend has it that on the road to the underworld, piles of bones are nourished by blood and evil energy, from which a strange medicine called Blood Bone Bud, also known as Netherworld Flower, will grow."
Because it is born on the path connecting the human world and hell, it has the effect of connecting the underworld and returning to the living world.
Those teetering on the brink of life and death can, after taking this medicine, return to the living world or travel to the underworld at will.
Lu Qingqing knew that there was no end to learning medicine, and there were many amazing remedies in the world waiting for her to discover and learn.
I would often exchange ideas with my teacher, and if we encountered something we didn't know, we would write it down, try it a few times, and then record it in the medical encyclopedia.
But... she, a materialist, simply couldn't believe in such fantastical stories!
The doctor actually knew how absurd what he was saying was.
Although the ancestor who recorded this story was a military doctor, and he spoke with great conviction, claiming that he had found this miraculous medicine among a pile of rotting corpses on the battlefield, and that it had even brought back a general who was lingering on his deathbed, but…
Absolutely impossible!
His grandfather didn't believe it, his father didn't believe it, but when he was young, he was foolish enough to believe it and risked his life to search for it on various battlefields.
He was eventually arrested as a spy and almost lost his life.
"Hehe... Dean Lu, just treat this as a story."
The doctor touched the medical book with relish, saying, "I haven't been of any help, but I've still managed to get this rare book. I'd feel bad if I didn't say something."
"The story is good, and it might actually exist, but it's so rare that it's hard for people to find." Lu Qingqing still gave him face.
The doctor sighed in admiration at Lu Qingqing's magnanimity, now that she was a powerful and truly skilled physician, unlike her colleagues who would only receive a disdainful look if they spoke out.
Although she is incredibly young, she is truly admirable!
Lu Qingqing doesn't believe in fantasy, but what she just said wasn't just empty talk.
Some of the ghost stories that people talk about can actually be explained by science.
It's just that people don't understand its mysteries, so they've given it a mystical aura.
But as she said, it's so rare that searching aimlessly is just a waste of time.
So she might as well do some more research on how to wake up her older brother!
...
Lu Feng did not wake up, but the artillery work was progressing smoothly.
After another exterior modification, it finally passed all the tests perfectly.
Next comes manufacturing.
Due to the limited blacksmithing skills and the scarcity of people capable of controlling precision, only three blacksmith masters were found, and the initial plan was to make twenty units.
The officers and men of the headquarters kept a close watch day and night, not daring to make the slightest mistake.
Just then, Lu Qingqing received a distress letter from Gu Chengzhou.
As heavy snow fell, the Western Liao launched a frenzied attack, prompting Da Gan to rally troops from all over the country to resist to the death.
Unexpectedly, the Western Qiang suddenly launched an attack, joining forces with the Western Liao, catching the Da Gan army completely off guard.
Gu Chengye broke through the encirclement, but was stabbed several times and was in critical condition.
The crown prince and his men were engaged in a struggle with the King of Western Liao in the mountains, and their whereabouts are unknown.
At this moment, Gu Chengye had taken three Rejuvenation Pills to keep his life hanging by a thread and begged Lu Qingqing to go and save him immediately.
Lu Qingqing immediately summoned Xue Lin and the others.
He instructed them that once the artillery and gunpowder were ready, they should be transported immediately without delay.
She had to get to the battlefield first.
Faced with a critical situation, Xue Lin patted his chest and vowed that he would not fail in his mission.
Lu Qingqing then assigned the academy's affairs to several teachers.
Then I went to see Lu Feng.
"Little sister, go ahead. Your older brother will be waiting for you to come back. We're all waiting for you and His Highness the Crown Prince to return together." Feng Xiaowan's voice was calm, reassuring her.
"Okay, we'll be back."
Lu Qingqing has a sense of justice and will not put the living in danger for the sake of the dead.
Similarly, given the choice between the sleeping, resigned Lu Feng and the national general waiting to be saved, she chose the latter.
Although I know it's a rational and correct choice.
But she was just a mortal.
Abandoning her loved ones would make her feel guilty and cause her pain and suffering.
