201: Her injuries did indeed heal extremely quickly.

"I'm fine."

Military Doctor Shen offered a word of advice, but seeing that Lu Jing didn't listen, he didn't say anything more.

"Comrade Xiao."

Military Doctor Shen walked toward Xiao Niannian.

"Military Doctor Shen."

"Brother Lu is a bit stubborn. Please trouble yourself to help him change his bandages these next few days. I have too many injured patients here and can't handle it all."

When Military Doctor Shen said this, he glanced at Lu Jing.

Oh, Brother Lu, Brother Lu. I've done everything I can to create opportunities for you. If things work out later, you must thank me for this great favor.

"Okay."

Lu Jing was injured saving her, so naturally, she had to change his bandages.

Seeing Xiao Niannian agree immediately with a calm expression, Military Doctor Shen sighed heavily. Brother Lu hasn't figured things out yet, and Comrade Xiao doesn't understand anything about romance.

When will this situation finally be resolved?

Of course, he wouldn't be stupid enough to clarify things now.

This is a matter between Brother Lu and Comrade Xiao. If he meddled and messed things up, it would be too late for regrets.

Over the next two days, Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing, along with their comrades-in-arms, sped up their pace and finally exited the mountains on the second afternoon.

Looking at the village outside, Xiao Niannian smiled.

Finally, they were out.

Her legs were tired from walking these past few days. She wanted a foot soak, but it wasn't convenient in the mountains. Plus, she couldn't just disappear suddenly, and she hadn't even bathed in days.

She could smell some sweat on herself now.

But compared to the other comrades-in-arms, Xiao Niannian was much better off.

"Comrade Lu, Instructor Qin, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, this time..."

Seeing Lu Jing and Instructor Qin, several leaders stepped forward.

"Elder Lin, Elder Zhao, you all have suffered..."

When Elder Lin and Elder Zhao heard the leaders' words, Elder Lin spoke.

"Thanks to these Soldiers. If it weren't for them, we definitely wouldn't have made it back alive this time..."

Xiao Niannian understood what Elder Lin and Elder Zhao meant, and she smiled.

Over these two days, Elder Lin and Elder Zhao had grown familiar with them. Except for Comrade Zhou, who was always sickly, Comrade Ning was also very kind and spoke with them a lot along the way.

Elder Lin and Elder Zhao also greatly praised her and Lu Jing.

Although Lu Jing was talking to the leaders, his gaze swept across Xiao Niannian's face.

This area was not too far from Yangcheng, so everyone went to the Military Region Hospital in Yangcheng.

The Military Doctors and nurses at the Military Region Hospital had been notified and were waiting.

"Oh my god, why are there so many injured comrades?"

"Why are several people being carried in? What happened?"

There were many Soldiers and family members in the Military Region Hospital, and they were all startled to see such a large Military Unit rushing in, with several people being carried inside.

Xiao Niannian originally wanted to return to her unit to rest, but Lu Jing told her to go reapply medicine.

"Comrade Lu."

The Director and section heads of the Military Region Hospital smiled and greeted Lu Jing when they saw him.

"Director Yang..."

Elder Lin and Elder Zhao were sent to the emergency room for examination, while Lu Jing took Xiao Niannian to follow Military Doctor Shen for bandaging.

A female doctor was about to bandage Lu Jing, but Military Doctor Shen stepped forward.

"comrade Jiang, you bandage Comrade Xiao."

Military Doctor Jiang heard this and immediately walked toward Xiao Niannian.

"Comrade Xiao, I'll help you with the bandaging."

As Military Doctor Jiang said this, she glanced at Lu Jing. Seeing Lu Jing's eyes fixed on Xiao Niannian, her heart skipped a beat. Could it be?

Could it be that her unspoken feelings were about to fail?

Looking at the wound on Xiao Niannian's arm, it had recovered very well and had already scabbed over.

Military Doctor Jiang quietly observed Xiao Niannian and found that Comrade Xiao didn't even frown. This made her feel a little impressed.

Many Female Comrades who came to the Military Hospital before would weep and wail over a small injury.

Xiao Niannian looked at her own injury and realized that her wound did recover extremely quickly; perhaps the scab would fall off in another day.

Her gaze shifted to Lu Jing, and she saw that Lu Jing's injury was also recovering quickly.

Their eyes met, and Xiao Niannian withdrew her gaze.

Military Doctor Shen saw this scene and smiled, pursing his lips.

Lu Jing withdrew his gaze, but there was a smile in his eyes.

After Xiao Niannian was bandaged, she walked out into the courtyard.

Xiao Cui walked over with a lunchbox and handed it to Lu Jing.

"Captain Lu."

Lu Jing took a lunchbox and gave it to Xiao Niannian.

"Hurry up and eat."

Xiao Niannian took it, said thank you, and sat down on a nearby step.

Seeing braised pork, shredded potatoes, a fried egg, and cabbage inside, Xiao Niannian quickly ate her meal.

Although she had eaten a lot of wild boar meat these past few days, and the stir-fries in the mountains tasted average, seeing such perfectly colored, fragrant, and delicious braised pork now made her appetite soar.

After Xiao Niannian finished eating, Xiao Cui took the lunchbox to wash it.

"Once things here are handled, I'll drive you back to the Family Courtyard. You get one day off."

After every mission, there was usually about one day of vacation, and for long-duration missions, the vacation was at least three days.

Xiao Niannian happily agreed when she heard Lu Jing's words.

Actually, all she wanted right now was to go back to the Family Courtyard, take a good bath, and then sleep.

Xiao Niannian thought of Zhang Hao and the other children, so she went to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative outside the hospital and bought some milk candy and pastries.

"Sister Niannian."

Zhang Hao saw Xiao Niannian and happily walked over.

The other children were also extremely excited.

"You guys, have you been listening to the doctors and nurses these past few days?"

"Yes."

Xiao Niannian asked them a few concerned questions. Seeing that their complexions were much better than before and their whole demeanor had brightened, she was overjoyed.

Her gaze fell on the great-niece of the Chen family. That child hadn't spoken much before, and her clothes were filthy. Now her hair was cut, and she was wearing new clothes, staring at her.

"Come here."

Xiao Niannian waved at her.

The little girl walked over.

Xiao Niannian grabbed a handful of milk candy and placed it in her hand.

"Thank you, Sister."

Hearing her speak, many people were surprised.

"You can talk?"

"Little sister, you spoke?"

Zhang Hao also watched in surprise. This little sister hadn't spoken all these days. Previously, they heard the Chen family called her Dumb Sister.

Xiao Niannian looked at the little girl's shy appearance and called out with a smile.

"Lele."

Xiao Niannian had heard Military Doctor Shen mention that the child's nickname was Lele.

The little girl's eyes brightened further.

"Sister."

Lele threw herself into Xiao Niannian's arms.

"The uncles and aunties from the Public Security Bureau are helping you find your families. They will definitely be able to find your relatives..."

Xiao Niannian stroked Lele's head and looked at the other children.

Hearing Xiao Niannian's words, the children all cheered up.

They had cried many times over the past few days.
