Xiao Jing was slightly moved in her heart. That"s right, why are we soldiers?
Guotai People"s Peace?
Now that the country is stable, why are there still so many casualties?
Perhaps it was the loss of our lives that brought stability to the country.
Mu Xi Chi clenched her teeth, her eyes reddened, "Simple, Lin Qi is dead. After that, there will be many comrades leaving one by one to protect our family and protect our country. We protected this family, but we left our own family without a home. Xiao Jing, will you regret this?"
Xiao Jing blinked. Was she regretting it?
How could he regret it?
There was blood, pa.s.sion, and an unspeakable pride. Why should she regret it?
Just because he didn"t know when he would become a cold corpse?
"Previously, many people asked me how long it has been since I"ve been home and how many years it"s been since I"ve seen my father and mother. I often laugh it off. It"s been five or six years, so it"s nothing. When we retire, we will have plenty of opportunities to do our duty."
Mu Xi Chi desperately stared at the ceiling, trying to regain the frailness in her eyes.
Xiao Jing was silent, unable to say anything.
"And then the man said, Now that the country is stable, what have you been doing in the barracks for so many years?
Why didn"t he go back for so many years?
Your parents will want you dead.
"Because of our absence for five or six years, Colonel Mu, you were right, weren"t you?"
Xiao Jing picked up a clean gauze and wiped off the blood on his arm.
Mu Xi Chi clenched her fist uncontrollably, "Yes, I"m right, but I also feel that I"m wrong."
"No one is right and wrong about this matter. You can only say that you regret it, but the next time you face a quest, you will still be the first one to rush forward, right?"
"It"s not that we"re not afraid of death or pain, but our job is to protect our country."
Mu Xi Chi took a glance at his smooth movements. In just a few minutes, his wounds had already been cleaned up.
Xiao Jing threw the gauze into the trash can and washed her hands with disinfectant solution. She then said, "Rest well, don"t be too agitated. Our hands are all we have. We can"t hurt our hands no matter where we go."
Mu Xi Chi gave a self-deprecating bitter smile, "I was wrong in the past, but you"re actually quite good."
"Of course. Otherwise, why would the captain have fallen for me?"
Mu Xi Chi glared at Xiao Jing. "I gave you face, but you"re still showing off?"
"I"m just talking about things. Look at how you"ve been living together all these years in the military camp, he doesn"t have any interest in you. For matters like feelings, aside from fate, one must also have eye contact."
"You mean the rest of us have grown rough?"
Mu Xi Chi clenched his teeth and pointed at the door. "Get out, don"t let me see you these two days."
"That won"t do. The captain specifically ordered me to take care of you. I will come back later to bring you food."
Xiao Jing had a flowery smile on her face.
Mu Xi shut her eyes, pretending to ignore Xiao Jing"s noisy words.
Xiao Jing closed the door and stood in the empty corridor. She slowly squatted down by the wall.
A cold wind blew by, causing her to feel a little cold.
"Dong, dong, dong."
The sound of messy footsteps came from the other end of the corridor.
When Xiao Jing heard the voice, she subconsciously raised her head. Her eyes were a little blurry, and she blankly stared at it for a few seconds before finally becoming clear.
Yan Mo hurriedly crouched down and asked, "What"s wrong?"
Xiao Jing came back to her senses and stood up. However, her body swayed and nearly fell down.
Yan Mo grabbed Xiao Jing"s arm and hugged her falling body in his arms.
Xiao Jing struggled out of his embrace, her eyebrows knitted together. "Sir, why are you here?"
"I heard that something happened to Tie Ying and rushed over. I heard that one of the guards was injured, but I didn"t think that it was you. I didn"t expect that it was really you. Where did you get injured?"
Yan Mo looked up and down.
Xiao Jing shook her head. "It"s not me. It"s my comrade. I"m fine."
Yan Mo took a light breath out, "It"s good that it"s not you. If you suffer two more injuries, I"m afraid you will probably retire soon."
"I"m not on the list for this mission."
Xiao Jing walked out of the infirmary.
Yan Mo followed closely behind, "The third brother didn"t send you out?"
Xiao Jing looked at the sky, and for some reason, her heart had always been uneasy.
The sunlight was a bit blinding, but it was not real in her eyes. She tried to raise her hand to block out the light, but the instant she raised her hand, her body fell to the ground.
Yan Mo quickly grabbed his fallen body and hugged it. He gathered his thoughts and asked in a panic, "Xiao Jing, what"s wrong?"
The world was spinning and the oxygen was compressing. Xiao Jing"s eyes were wide open, but she lost all five of her senses.
"Xiao Jing, Xiao Jing, can you hear me?"
Yan Mo gently patted her cheek, trying to wake him up.
"What"s going on?"
When the medic saw this, he surrounded them one by one.
Xiao Jing was carried into the infirmary and was about to take off her clothes to inspect.
The medic sensed danger, but it was too late to withdraw his hands.
Xiao Jing grabbed the hands that were hanging on her clothes and forcefully twisted them. If she had recovered a bit more physical strength at that time, the medic in front of her would have probably retired earlier.
"Oh, oh, oh, Colonel Shaw, calm down, calm down."
Another medical soldier on the side quickly grabbed Xiao Jing"s hand.
Xiao Jing came back to her senses and gradually released the strength in her hands.
The medic took two steps back, feeling wronged. He didn"t dare to step forward.
Xiao Jing looked at the pale walls on all four sides, anxiously jumping off the bed. "What do you want to do to me?"
"You suddenly lost your reaction. Let us check it for you."
The medic explained.
She looked at the medic, who didn"t dare to say anything else. With an apologetic tone, she said, "Just now, I instinctively reacted, thinking that someone was attacking. I"m sorry, but your hand is fine, right?"
"I"m fine, I"m fine."
Xiao Jing bitterly smiled, "It"s good that you"re fine. I"m fine too, so I"ll be leaving first."
Yan Mo was hovering outside the infirmary, and would occasionally peek inside to check out the situation.
"Sir, what are you doing here?"
As soon as Xiao Jing opened the door, she saw Yan Mo leaning against the wall, constantly looking inside.
Yan Mo jumped down from the wall and asked nervously, "Are you alright?"
"It"s probably a little hypoglycemic, so I"m fine."
Xiao Jing deliberately changed the topic. "There are no other people around Tie Ying. You should go back first."
"Are you still afraid of me getting close to you?"
Yan Mo stood tenaciously in front of Xiao Jing.
"You know, Captain and I are getting married."
"You mean we need to avoid it?"
Xiao Jing wanted to say something but hesitated. She felt that she should be more tactful, but based on her understanding of him, she was afraid that if she didn"t explain it clearly, he wouldn"t be able to make a turn.
Yan Mo gave up on chasing after Xiao Jing. He looked at her with a torch-like gaze, "I have already given up on you and am no longer bothering you. I just don"t want you to get hurt or get sick. I just want you to be fine."
"Sir, I"m fine."
Yan Mo took out his mobile phone and handed it over to Xiao Jing.
Xiao Jing didn"t understand his intention.
Yan Mo said, "Look at yourself."
"Maybe it"s because I didn"t eat. I"ll go eat something."
Xiao Jing walked down the steps.
Yan Mo stood on the same spot, and glanced at Xiao Jing"s back, which seemed to be fleeing in a hurry. His hands slowly bent and finally clenched into a fist.
She did not go to the cafeteria, but hid between the two walls. Her physical strength was weak, and she felt dizzy. She felt that she was no longer wrong. If this continued, not to mention fighting, even an ordinary person would not be able to match her.
At night, the temperature dropped by several degrees.
The Old Madam Shen"s car drove slowly into the camp, and the guards straightened their bodies.
The driver opened the door and stepped aside.
Old Madam Shen looked at the dormitory in front of her. She had heard about the Iron Eagle Squad an hour ago, but why had Xiao Jing called her over?
Xiao Jing sat upright on a stool, her hands intertwined with each other.
"Knock, knock."
She was startled by the soft sound of the door.
Old Madam Shen pushed the door open and entered. "What is it that you want to tell me?"
Xiao Jing lowered her head and was organizing her words.
Old Madam Shen sat opposite to her with a gentle smile on her face. However, the moment she saw Xiao Jing raise her head, her expression turned cold. "What"s wrong with you, child?"
"Why is your face so pale?"
Xiao Jing"s fingers began to tremble uncontrollably. This kind of situation was too dangerous for a soldier, especially a sniper. It was even more dangerous. How could she feel her hands tremble?
Old Lady Shen held both of her hands, her palms drenched in sweat as she anxiously asked, "Quickly tell grandma, what"s wrong?"
Xiao Jing felt that she was too indecisive today. She was clearly a soldier, so she had to be straightforward. How could she be like a little girl?
When Old Madam Shen saw her stand up, she stood up as well and asked in confusion, "What do you want to do?"
Xiao Jing fished out her pocket and took out the items from her pocket before placing them on the table.
Old Madam Shen was a little muddled but she took a glance at him without thinking much. Her expression changed from one of anxiety to shock and even of indecision. In the end, she actually smiled until a crease appeared on her face.
Xiao Jing shyly lowered her head, "Grandma, you gave this to me this afternoon. I tried it."
Old Lady Shen uncertainly took out her reading gla.s.ses and looked at them over and over again. She even rubbed her eyes to make sure that her eyesight was not clouded before putting them down.
"Bang! "a loud sound suddenly came from within the room.
Old Madam Shen grabbed the coat by the table and placed it on Xiao Jing"s body. Following that, she grabbed her hand. From the looks of it, she was preparing to take her out.
Xiao Jing did not dare to disobey her elders, but she could not help but ask, "Grandma, where are you taking me?"
"Hospital."
The old man spoke these two words succinctly.
Xiao Jing refused and stopped walking. "There"s no need to go."
"Look at your current appearance, you are obviously weak. If you don"t go to the hospital in two days, you will have to collapse. Do you want to scare me to death, or do you want to scare me to death that third grandson of the King of h.e.l.l?"
Xiao Jing was forced into the car by the old man. She leaned against the window and looked at the old man who was walking around the car. She wanted to open the door, but found that the door was locked from the inside.
Old Madam Shen got into the car with a bright smile on her face and said to the driver, "Let"s go."
"Grandma, if you take me to the hospital like this, many people will know. My current status is a bit awkward, so it"s not suitable for me to go to a public place like the hospital."
"Don"t worry, no one dares to gossip.
If you"re really worried, put on my coat. "
Old Lady Shen took off her scarf and put it on her neck. "That way, no one will be able to identify you."
Xiao Jing felt the warmth of the scarf and quickly withdrew it. "You will catch a cold like this."
"I"m just an old hag, my body is not any weaker than you youngsters, obediently wear it."
The car finally stopped in front of a private hospital. At night, there were very few people in the hospital. Even the two young nurses in front of the counter could not help but fall asleep for a long time.
"Dong, dong, dong."
Old Lady Shen knocked on the table herself.
The two nurses immediately woke up and stood up one by one. "h.e.l.lo, how may I help you?"
"Get your headmaster to come over personally. I have something to talk to her about."
Old Madam Shen walked directly into a treatment room.
The nurse didn"t dare to say anything more. Every patient who came in and out of the room was either rich or wealthy, so she naturally couldn"t be negligent.
"Dong, dong, dong."
The headmaster led the group of people into the hospital. However, when they got close to the clinic, he raised his hand and signaled the people behind him to stop.
"Knock, knock."
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
The old man"s strong and vigorous voice came from inside.
The dean was a middle-aged woman in her fifties. When she opened the door, she saw the Madam of the Shen family. She hurriedly took two steps forward.
The old mistress of the Shen family sat on the sofa and did not plan to deal with him. She went straight to the point, "Check her up."
The dean"s gaze landed on one of them. She looked suspiciously at the tightly wrapped Xiao Jing, but didn"t dare to question her.
Xiao Jing covered her face with both hands and laid down on the bed. Cold things slid down her stomach. The more embarra.s.sed she was, the more she saw the old man through the small gap between her fingers.
Old Madam Shen looked expectantly at the black and white screen. She couldn"t understand the medical stuff, so she could only remain silent, waiting for the Dean to announce something.
The dean smiled and said, "Madam, this young lady is indeed pregnant. Look here, this is a pregnancy sac. She already has a few sprouts. In a few days, her fetal heart will be heard."
The joy on Old Madam Shen"s face could not be concealed as she said three words in a row, "Good, good, good."
The dean put down the surveillance camera and stood beside the bed. He subconsciously looked towards the bed, but did not dare to look too obvious. This young lady had been using her hands to cover her face, probably not wanting anyone to know her ident.i.ty.
Old Madam Shen personally helped Xiao Jing up from the bed. Her originally elderly face seemed to instantly be several tens of years younger than before. She said, "Did you hear that?"
Xiao Jing lowered her head and put on her clothes. She solemnly nodded her head. "Yes, grandmother."
Upon hearing the t.i.tle, the dean was taken aback. Shen family had three young masters, and the eldest young master, Shen Chenghuang, had long heard of his fiancee. As for the third young master, they were doctors after all, and more or less, knew of some rumors.
Look at the Old Madam of the Shen family acting personally. It seems like she is the Second Young Master"s woman.
"What else is there to notice?"
Old Lady Shen opened her mouth again and successfully pulled the Princ.i.p.al"s consciousness back.
The headmaster looked at the report carefully and said with a serious face, "She"s a bit anemic, but it"s not very serious. All the indicators are very healthy. She just needs to pay attention to her diet and nutrition, and there won"t be any problems."
"She says she"s always dizzy, is that all right?"
Old Lady Shen repeatedly asked.
The dean nodded, "This should be due to the lack of body strength during the initial stages of the pregnancy. It"s not suitable for great nourishment right now, so I can use this method to increase my physical strength."
"I understand. It"s been hard on you."
Old Lady Shen placed a scarf around Xiao Jing"s neck. "Let"s go."
Xiao Jing put her hat on her head. From start to finish, she didn"t leave any clues. She was very cautious as she walked, her gaze constantly scanning the surroundings.
The inspecting room was already surrounded by directors of all sizes. They stood on both sides with serious expressions. When they saw the madame, they stood even more upright, afraid that one of their own carelessness would cause them to neglect their superior.
The dean personally escorted the two of them to the car.
Beside her, a man asked curiously, "President, who will old madam Shen bring for the inspection?"
The dean smiled, "I"m afraid that the Shen family is close to a good thing."
