The Cultivator's Reborn to 1970s-Chapter 145 - 120
Chapter 145: 120
"I won’t be called Lan Tian if I can’t cure you."
Pinching a Spirit Manipulation Technique, four dishes lined up and flew onto the table. As soon as the dishes were served, Lan Tian heard the sound of keys turning at the door and looked up to see Mo Junhua coming in.
"Smells so good!" As soon as Mo Junhua entered, he sniffed around with a soft expression, shedding the hardness from his face outside, changed his shoes and came over, looking at the table, "What did the girl cook?"
Lan Tian glanced at him and said, "You’ll know after you eat, hurry up and wash your hands."
After pinching Lan Tian’s cheek, Mo Junhua went to the kitchen to wash his hands, and brought out the bowls and chopsticks. He served Lan Tian a bowl of soup, handed it to her, then served himself a bowl, and gulped down a big mouthful.
"Delicious!"
"If it’s delicious, drink more," Lan Tian pushed the whole pot of soup towards him.
Enjoying the rare care from Lan Tian, Mo Junhua filled another bowl of soup and quickly finished it, then filled a bowl of rice to eat, "Did you go out for a walk this morning? The scenery in many places of the troop is quite nice. I’ll finish training early in the afternoon and take you to see."
"No need, you do your training, I will go out for a walk myself, to familiarize myself with the surroundings." Lan Tian, biting on her chopsticks, looked at Mo Junhua and added, "Are there any mountains nearby where few people go? I need to gather herbs in the mountains."
"Gathering herbs?" Mo Junhua, who was eating, looked up at her, "Who got hurt?"
Lan Tian glared at him, "Who said that gathering herbs means someone got hurt? I want to use them for baths, good for strengthening the body, you can soak in it too," Lan Tian grinned, but only if you can endure the ordeal.
Speaking of gathering herbs, Mo Junhua remembered something, put down his utensils, stopped eating, and looked at Lan Tian seriously, "Girl, I have a comrade whose leg got injured, can you go see him?"
Lan Tian looked up at him, "I’m not a doctor." So she doesn’t treat people. fгeewёbnoѵel_cσm
Mo Junhua didn’t pressure Lan Tian and after thinking for a moment he said, "Just hear me out. The last time I went on a mission with that comrade, we were attacked by enemies along the way. To save me, he was ambushed by the enemy, and as a result, his leg was severely injured. Now he’s still lying in the Military District Hospital. The doctors said, in order for him to survive, they have to amputate his leg, otherwise, he won’t last long. Even if his leg is amputated and he survives, a soldier with no leg cannot stay in the army; to him, it might be worse than death..."
Lan Tian glanced at the Merit Light shining on Mo Junhua’s body and suddenly asked, "Were you on the mission together?"
Mo Junhua did not understand why Lan Tian asked, but he nodded, "Yes."
Silent, Lan Tian watched Mo Junhua, making his heart pound. Suddenly, she said, "Let’s see the person first, then we’ll talk!"
Seeing Lan Tian relent, Mo Junhua’s lifted spirit settled down. Then Lan Tian suddenly said, "Let me make it clear, don’t have too high hopes for me, it’s hard to say whether he can be cured or not, don’t blame me if it doesn’t work out in the end."
Lan Tian suddenly changed her mind because she took an interest in the Merit Light on their bodies. She is an anomaly that exists to shield from the Heavenly Dao, and her Thunder Tribulation and Heart Demon Tribulation during Foundation Establishment would definitely be extraordinary. In her previous life, she had exhausted the Immortal and Divine Artifacts of her personal abode just to get through the Thunder Tribulation. In this life, she had nothing. No, she had only one Thunder Mother Stone.
The more defensive items one has for crossing the tribulation, the better. For instance, the Merit Light has a certain resistance to the Thunder Tribulation and Heart Demon Tribulation. If that person’s Merit Light was as rich as Mo Junhua’s, saving him would also grant her a record of merit from the Heavenly Dao laws, which would be greatly beneficial to her.
"Don’t worry, if anyone dares to blame you, I’ll be the first to deal with them." Mo Junhua said with a serious face, and Lan Tian rolled her eyes, thinking no one would believe such words.
"We’ll go this afternoon," Mo Junhua suddenly said.
"So soon?" Lan Tian was startled.
Mo Junhua kept a serious face, "His condition isn’t good. The doctors said the amputation has to be decided within these two days, it will be too late if we delay."
After quickly finishing the rice in her bowl, Lan Tian got up and headed outside.
"Where are you going without finishing your food?" When she saw that he stopped eating and was ready to leave, Lan Tian asked.
"You eat, I’ll go to the barracks and drive the car over. After you finish your meal, we’ll head over to the Military District Hospital."
Ding Lei and the others, having had their fill, were doing push-up competitions at the drill ground. Ding Lei and Jiang Xiaoshan formed one team, Su Qing and Sun Qing another, while Li Hong and Sun Yan ran back and forth shouting slogans. Zhang Tian, with a wild grass in his mouth, glanced this way and then stared blankly into the distance.
"...Seventy-eight, seventy-nine, eighty... ninety-five, ninety-six, keep it up, you’re almost at a hundred."
"What’s going on? The battalion commander seems to be in a hurry." Zhang Tian suddenly stood up and looked toward the Military Building, kicking Su Qing, who was still calling out slogans by his side, "Hey, Frog, Thunder, stop competing, something seems to have happened to the battalion commander."
Leaving Ding Lei and the rest, they ran towards Mo Junhua. Su Qing and Sun Qing also got up and ran that way, while Jiang Xiaoshan, Ding Lei, Li Hong, and Sun Yan quickly got up and ran over.
"Why the commotion at noon?"
The guys were too embarrassed to say that they had been used as pawns by Ding Lei yesterday and were trying to recoup from Ding Lei today.
Mo Junhua, anxious, started running after coming down the stairs and encountered the approaching Zhang Tian, wondering why this kid wasn’t resting at midday. Hearing Zhang Tian ask, "What happened to the battalion commander?"
Seeing several others behind, Mo Junhua was not in a hurry anymore, kicked Su Qing, "Go, drive the car over from the barracks." Meanwhile, wait for Ding Lei and the others. From afar, seeing Jiang Xiaoshan, Ding Lei, and the four running over, panting and drenched in sweat.
"What’s all the fuss about at noon?"
"Battalion commander, where are you hurrying off to?" It was Zhang Tian who asked, while Su Qing didn’t leave, looking at him expectantly.
"Your sister-in-law’s family is a medical family." Catching sight of Jiang Xiaoshan’s foolish look, and seeing that the others were also clueless, Mo Junhua explained further, "Your sister-in-law comes from a family of doctors, generation after generation."
Now everyone understood. Doctor is just a doctor, right? What’s all this about some apricot forest family line? Who gets it?
"Oh," Su Qing was slow to catch on, then suddenly let out a scream in surprise, "My sister-in-law is a doctor? I totally didn’t see it."
Mo Junhua gave him a look of disdain, as if saying, you could see what exactly.
"She’s not a doctor, but she can treat people!" Just like not all who catch thieves are police.
Ding Lei, Jiang Xiaoshan, and the others were filled with excitement, looking at Mo Junhua with faces full of hope, "Battalion commander, do you mean the deputy commander’s leg can be saved?"
"It’s not certain, we have to see for ourselves." The girl’s temper had risen over the years, Mo Junhua couldn’t guarantee it himself, "Your sister-in-law is still at home eating. I’ll head back first and wait for her, you guys send someone to drive the car over." After saying that, Mo Junhua went back.
This time Su Qing didn’t need anyone to call him; he ran off quickly and soon was out of sight. Ding Lei, Zhang Tian, and the others discussed and decided to send Zhang Tian to go after him, not all could leave the afternoon training.
After eating, Lan Tian cleaned up the plates and bowls, then pinched out a Cleaning Technique, making the dishes sparkling clean. The leftover bones, with a flick of her finger, a wisp of grey flame landed on the leftovers, incinerating them to ashes in a blink. With a wave of her hand, they floated out of the window - clean, convenient, and quick.
She washed a peach to eat as her after-meal fruit, leaning back in her chair, and had just taken a couple of bites when Mo Junhua returned.
Mo Junhua glanced at the empty table, and seeing Lan Tian still eating the peach, his eye twitched. How could she finish so many dishes alone, wasn’t it too much? He glanced over and saw her stomach that still looked deflated; where did all that food go?
"Are you full?"
Lan Tian nodded, "Shall we go now?"
"No rush, finish your peach first," glancing at the peach as big as a baby’s head, Mo Junhua pulled up a chair to sit beside her, "Do you still have the ointment you used to treat my leg last time?"
Lan Tian looked at Mo Junhua with an inscrutable smile, sensing that he wanted to burn bridges after crossing the river?
A little annoyed, she said, "It’s gone."
Whoever fights with her for Merit Light is her enemy.
Why did she suddenly become angry? Seeing Lan Tian glaring at him with her eyebrows furrowed, Mo Junhua didn’t know which word had triggered her and didn’t say anything more. He waited for Lan Tian to finish her peach, then took out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe her hands.
Seeing his earnest manner, Lan Tian couldn’t stay mad, well, getting angry with him was pointless.
Coming down from the building, Su Qing and Zhang Tian were already waiting below. Seeing Lan Tian, Su Qing excitedly called out, "Sister-in-law!"
Lan Tian hummed in acknowledgment, glanced at them, then looked sideways at Mo Junhua.
Mo Junhua appeared as usual, with a slight bend in his eyebrows and eyes, "Get in the car!"
Lan Tian took the back seat, and Mo Junhua followed into the back seat as well, with Su Qing driving and Zhang Tian in the front passenger seat. On the way, Su Qing tried to speak to Lan Tian several times, but each time before he could open his mouth, Zhang Tian interrupted him; Su Qing never got a chance to ask until they reached the hospital.
Deputy commander Zhao Li had already moved to a private ward. After Mo Junhua and the others registered, they led Lan Tian straight to his ward. There were other patients in the ward besides Zhao Li, and when Mo Junhua and his group walked in, they saw him talking to others.
Upon seeing Mo Junhua, Su Qing, and Zhang Tian coming in, Zhao Li stopped chatting with the others and excitedly called out, "Commander, why are you here? Aren’t you supposed to be training today?"
"Talking about your glorious history again? How many enemies did you kill?" Su Qing playfully went over and hit him on the head, "Sister-in-law came to see you too."
Sister-in-law? What does that mean?
Zhao Li was puzzled, turned to look at Zhang Tian, who then stepped aside, revealing Lan Tian who was behind him.
Such a lovely girl!
What was just a bustling ward like a marketplace, suddenly fell silent. Many soldiers secretly straightened their military attire, feeling quite well-dressed, timidly stealing glances at the girl.
Mo Junhua went full cold mode, pulling Lan Tian over to introduce her, "My wife, your sister-in-law." His voice was loud and clear, the whole ward could hear.
No chance!
Several soldiers who stayed to see if there was any opportunity, reluctantly took one last look at Lan Tian and left, their hearts filled with indignation; why did the good girls always belong to someone else.
After the other soldiers had left and there were only the five of them left in the ward, Zhang Tian went to close the door, even locking it, so no one else could open it from the outside and come in.
