513: Her brothers did everything they could to be good to her.

Xiao Niannian brought a mesh bag and put all the medicinal herbs she gathered into it. In reality, she put a portion of the excess herbs into her space, and now her herb field was incredibly bountiful.

There were nearly a hundred varieties of medicinal herbs.

Today, she could add a few more varieties. After training in the plateau region for a month, she might even be able to gather another dozen or twenty types of herbs.

Military Doctor Shen had no time to talk to Xiao Niannian right now; his eyes held only a desire for the herbs and a determination to obtain them.

Seeing Military Doctor Shen's actions, Xiao Niannian laughed.

Military Doctor Shen was usually very active during training, but when he saw medicinal herbs, he became so excited. He had originally planned not to train, but seeing the herbs now, he immediately forgot his previous thoughts.

When he heard the whistle for assembly, Military Doctor Shen finally came back to his senses. He had forgotten everything just now, with only the herbs in his eyes.

Only now did he feel his hands were a bit cold. He would have to soak them well when he got back and apply some ointment for frostbite. Otherwise, his handsome hands would look ugly if they developed frostbite.

Xiao Niannian watched as Military Doctor Shen held out his hands to examine them, and she immediately understood what he meant. She hadn't expected Military Doctor Shen to be such a vain person.

She thought of his younger brother, Shen Yan. Sure enough, the two brothers were exactly the same.

Xiao Niannian withdrew her gaze and looked at Lu Jing, noticing a bag tied around his waist. Was that full of medicinal herbs?

She had been busy gathering herbs just now and hadn't paid attention to Lu Jing. She hadn't expected that he had also gone to gather quite a few herbs.

"Niannian, these are the medicinal herbs I gathered. Can you check if I picked the right ones?"

Over the past few years, Lu Jing had bought many books on medicinal herbs to read and had also sought out some old doctors to learn how to identify them. The herbs he had gathered were all correct.

"Thank you."

Xiao Niannian took them and opened the bag to look.

"These are all good medicinal herbs."

Lu Jing was so smart and capable; he truly had a photographic memory. The herbs he gathered were all very good. Previously, when they were gathering herbs, Xiao Niannian had told him what to pay attention to, and Lu Jing was doing exactly that now.

Military Doctor Shen walked over happily, carrying a small bag of medicinal herbs.

Seeing the herbs Lu Jing was carrying, he widened his eyes.

"Old Lu, you even know how to gather medicinal herbs now?"

Sure enough, love makes people unrecognizable. The Old Lu of the past would never have taken the initiative to gather herbs. Previously, when he asked Old Lu to go gather herbs with him, Old Lu would help him, but he had never seen Old Lu be this proactive.

They had been brothers for over twenty years, but in the end, it was all for nothing.

Now that Old Lu had good things, he gave them all to Niannian, not even remembering him for a single herb.

But it didn't matter; he had gathered them himself.

Military Doctor Shen snorted coldly and showed Lu Jing the herbs in his bag.

Lu Jing gave Military Doctor Shen a faint look.

Xiao Niannian pursed her lips and smiled.

"Assemble."

After the Team Members assembled, they used the zipline to return to the mountain on the other side, and then slid down to the foot of the mountain.

Watching the Team Members, who were clearly exhausted but full of joy, the smile on Xiao Niannian's face deepened.

When they returned to the camp, Xiao Niannian saw that her Older Brother's team had also returned.

Gu Yuan and his men spoke for a few moments, and then he walked toward Lu Jing and the others.

"Little Sister."

"Older Brother."

Gu Yuan looked at his younger sister's slightly flushed face and said with heartache.

"Did you get cold while you were out today?"

"No, I'm doing just fine." Hearing her Older Brother's caring words, Xiao Niannian replied with a smile.

In the eyes of their elders and her Older Brothers, she wasn't the Special Forces Soldier Xiao Niannian, but the delicate Niannian. Even though they knew her physical fitness was excellent, they still treated her like a flower in a greenhouse.

If her Older Brother knew that they had climbed the snowy mountain so many times today, he would definitely be heartbroken.

"Older Brother, we caught a dozen or so rabbits. We'll add them to your meal tonight."

Hearing this, Gu Yuan felt warm inside. This younger sister of his was truly wonderful.

"I caught a few too, and was just planning to add them to your meal."

Hearing this, Xiao Niannian said with a smile.

"Older Brother, I'll write down the method for raising rabbits later. Your team can raise them in the future; they are very easy to raise…"

Hearing his younger sister's words, Gu Yuan nodded with a smile.

"Alright, I'll listen to you, Little Sister."

The team had raised rabbits before, but perhaps because their technique wasn't good, the rabbits didn't live very long.

Lu Jing handed over ten rabbits.

"Take these ten to raise. There are a few more here for the meal tonight."

"Thank you, Old Lu."

Gu Yuan took the bag, and his gaze toward Lu Jing became a bit more approving.

Xiao Niannian returned to her dormitory. She went into her room, took a refreshing bath, changed her clothes, and then hung the wet clothes to dry inside the room.

"Little Sister."

Xiao Niannian opened the door and saw her Older Brother, Gu Yuan, bringing people over with a sheet-metal wood stove.

"What is this?"

"This is sheet metal that I bought with my own money and had someone make. Putting it in your room means you can boil water, and it will be warmer when you sleep at night…"

The conditions here were poor, so he naturally had to find ways to make his younger sister's living situation better.

"Thank you, Older Brother."

"This firewood is all what I went to chop earlier…"

Looking at the firewood being transported over, Xiao Niannian felt a bit moved.

She hadn't expected her Older Brother to do these things just to make her more comfortable.

"You are my younger sister; you don't need to thank me."

Gu Yuan smiled and patted Xiao Niannian's head.

Before they found their younger sister, they had no way to treat her well. Now that they had found her, they naturally had to do everything they could to treat her well.

Gu Yuan and his men quickly installed the sheet-metal wood stove. Only then did Xiao Niannian realize that a hole had already been drilled into the wall, plugged with something and covered with several layers of paper. After opening it up, it was just the right size for a chimney.

"I'll light the firewood now, and it will be warm in a little while."

Xiao Niannian watched her Older Brother busy at work, and she felt even more moved.

Whether it was her Older Brother or her second older brother, they both did everything they could to treat her well. As long as it was something they could do, they would try every possible way to do it. There were many things she hadn't even thought of, but her Older Brothers had already thought of them and done them.

Lu Jing watched this scene, and he was also a bit surprised.

Gu Yuan and Gu Jin were indeed extremely, extremely good to Niannian.

"Older Brother, why don't you eat here tonight?"

"No need. I've already had people prepare the food in the cafeteria. We'll eat in the cafeteria once it's stir-fried so your room doesn't get filled with cooking fumes. Tomorrow, once the other rooms have these sheet-metal wood stoves installed, we can go cook there…"

He hadn't just made one; he had made several.

There were some wounded Team Members in the team who really needed to recuperate now. The weather was too cold, which wasn't conducive to the Team Members' recovery. Once these sheet-metal wood stoves were set up, the wounded could recover much faster.
