640: They took Comrade Sheng away from the town in a coffin.
Upon hearing this, Comrade Dao also advised.
"Uncle, Aunt, don't worry, they know what they are doing..."
"Alright, be careful. It's best to come back and stay at night. The mountains are too dangerous..."
Uncle Dao urged.
"If you don't go too far, come back to stay."
Lu Jing, Military Doctor Shen, and the others only brought a few things and headed towards the backyard again.
Watching their figures disappear, Aunt Dao thought about what had happened over the past few days, and she still felt some doubt in her heart.
"Old Man, do you think they..."
"Let's talk in the room."
After returning to the room, Uncle Dao and Aunt Dao went into the secret chamber.
Their house also had a secret chamber, but it wasn't big, only a few square meters.
"They leave early and return late every day. Do you think the things happening in town are related to them? Will it implicate us?"
"What nonsense are you spouting! How could it be related to them? There are only five or six of them, what can they do? And we haven't seen any weapons..."
Uncle Dao scolded Aunt Dao.
"Don't talk nonsense like that. If you attract those foreigners, we'll be in big trouble..."
"Put these fish in the water tank, and put the rabbits in the pen." Hearing her husband's words, Aunt Dao nodded in agreement.
Xiao Niannian looked at the time on her watch and saw that half an hour was almost up, but Lu Jing and Military Doctor Shen had not returned yet.
She felt a bit worried.
Patriarch Wan had been sitting on the sofa and was now asleep.
Xiao Niannian had just heard Patriarch Wan's confidant urge him to go upstairs to rest, but Patriarch Wan did not leave.
Xiao Niannian still had a good impression of Patriarch Wan.
Her gaze turned to Comrade Sheng, who had woken up for a dozen minutes earlier before falling asleep again.
Comrade Sheng's condition was recovering much better than expected. If his recovery continued to improve, they could take Comrade Sheng away in two or three days.
Comrade Wan stood at the door, looking inside, worry flashing in his eyes.
"Comrade Xiao, how is Comrade Sheng doing?"
"He is asleep, and his condition is stable now..."
Hearing Xiao Niannian's words, Comrade Wan nodded.
"I'll just stand at the door and keep him company."
"Please use those bottles to spray yourself for disinfection, then you can come in and sit here." Xiao Niannian said, pointing to the sofa nearby.
The conditions here were not as good as in a hospital, but the medicine she brought was excellent, and the place had been disinfected.
"Okay."
Hearing that he could come in, Comrade Wan was even happier.
A while later, Comrade Wan, having disinfected himself, walked in.
Just at this moment, Lu Jing and Military Doctor Shen also walked down the stairs.
"You're back."
Hearing their footsteps and seeing them appear at the door, Xiao Niannian said.
"How is the situation outside?"
"It's chaotic out there right now..."
Seeing that the other Team Members had arrived, Xiao Niannian looked at Lu Jing.
Although she hadn't asked, Lu Jing already knew what his wife meant.
"The two of them are still over there. When we go back, we'll take them with us."
"Good."
"Since you are here, I will go rest for a while."
Xiao Niannian was truly sleepy now.
Patriarch Wan had already laid wooden boards in the two rooms next door and had people bring over several quilts.
After closing the door, Xiao Niannian went into her space to take a bath.
After the bath, she returned to the room.
She was so tired that she fell asleep immediately.
By the time she woke up, four or five hours had passed.
Seeing Xiao Niannian walk out, Lu Jing opened his eyes.
He had been dozing on the chair at the door for a few hours.
"Military Doctor Shen, how is Comrade Sheng's condition?"
"The condition is better than imagined."
Niannian's medicine was indeed effective. However, he didn't say this out loud. Otherwise, if these people heard it and someone spread the word later, it would definitely bring trouble to Niannian.
"I have already changed the medicine for Comrade Sheng."
"comrades, please come and eat first."
Patriarch Wan had taken a nap and felt a bit more recovered.
He had people prepare quite a few dishes, which were naturally much better than what Xiao Niannian and the others had been eating these past few days.
"Thank you, Patriarch Wan."
Patriarch Wan picked up his chopsticks first, took a bit of everything, and tasted it in front of Xiao Niannian and the others.
The other three also started to eat.
Xiao Niannian also picked up her chopsticks and ate.
After Xiao Niannian and the others ate for a while, the other Team Members also began to eat.
After the meal, Lu Jing used the phone to contact the Commanders again.
Before long, Lu Jing returned.
"What did the Commanders say?"
"The Commanders agreed, but we can only go to the riverbank, where military aircraft can land..."
Hearing this, Xiao Niannian nodded.
"Comrade Sheng's physical condition is better than expected; we can set off in two days. But what method should we use to take him there?"
Hearing his wife's words, Lu Jing said.
"There is a way."
Xiao Niannian looked at Lu Jing and smiled.
"Tell me."
"We must be thinking the same thing."
What Xiao Niannian was thinking was to have Patriarch Wan announce to the outside world that someone in the Wan family had passed away from illness, and then they would carry that person into the mountains.
Lu Jing went to discuss this with Patriarch Wan.
Patriarch Wan naturally agreed; sending the person away quickly would ensure his own safety.
Otherwise, with the person staying here, he would be worried.
Now, taking advantage of the fact that the general had died, it was the perfect time to send the person away.
"Please, Patriarch Wan, go and make the arrangements."
"Okay."
More than two days passed in the blink of an eye, and Comrade Sheng's condition had improved a lot.
He hadn't had recurring high fevers these past few days, and he could eat a small bowl of porridge at every meal.
Soon, the day to leave had arrived.
Xiao Niannian, Lu Jing, and the others were all ready.
Xiao Niannian had applied makeup to these people in advance, and their appearances had changed significantly.
Watching Comrade Sheng being placed into the coffin, the others all felt some worry in their hearts.
Patriarch Wan said.
"Captain Lu, Captain Xiao, just go into the mountains; I have already made arrangements..."
"Good, thank you, Patriarch Wan. I will definitely report this matter truthfully..."
"Thank you, Patriarch Wan."
Xiao Niannian also thanked Patriarch Wan.
"These medicines were made by me; I gift them to you, Patriarch Wan."
Patriarch Wan was very impressed by the medical skills of Xiao Niannian and Military Doctor Shen.
To be able to save Comrade Sheng under those circumstances. These medicines might come in very handy in the future.
The road from the Wan villa to the mountains was not far, but it still took about ten minutes to walk.
They prepared to leave first, and after an hour, they would have Xiao Cui and Fang Qiang go to bring Comrade Dao and Comrade Yan away.
After the team reached the mountains, they did not stop.
Instead, Lu Jing, Military Doctor Shen, and the other dozen or so Team Members sent by Instructor Qin continued to carry the coffin deeper into the mountains.
The coffin they were carrying was a very thin one, and it didn't take much effort for the few Team Members to carry it.
