The Cultivator's Reborn to 1970s-Chapter 165 - 138

"Lan Tian, you’re back."

At the staircase, Tian Xianghua and her husband were anxiously carrying their child downstairs.

"Sister-in-law, why are you carrying the child out so early in the morning?" Lan Tian looked at them and felt it was strange.

"The baby is sick, we are taking him to the hospital." Tian Xianghua’s voice trembled, with a crying tone.

Only then did Lan Tian notice her pale face, disheveled clothes, and messy hair, which was completely unlike her usual tidy appearance. She sensed the severity of the situation; the baby must be seriously ill, otherwise Tian Xianghua wouldn’t be so frightened.

Being always tender-hearted towards children, and knowing that the baby was ill, Lan Tian couldn’t just stand by, especially since Tian Xianghua had always treated her well. She approached to examine the child’s condition and said, "I have learned some medicine at home. If you trust me, sister-in-law, I can take a look at the baby."

The baby’s face was flushed red, his breathing rapid and accompanied by a rattling noise, giving Lan Tian a clear idea of the illness.

The First Battalion Commander had heard from others that Zhao Li’s leg was healed, and it was now being taken care by Camp Commander Mo’s sister, who had learned medicine from Uncle Lan Tian. As Tian Xianghua hesitated, her husband said, "Then please trouble you, sister-in-law."

"It’s no trouble. It’s cold outside, let’s first take the baby back to the room. I’ll go get some things from my house and come up." Lan Tian was empty-handed, without even a bag, which was inconvenient for treating, as she couldn’t exactly pull things out from thin air.

"Sigh, then we will go up first." The First Battalion Commander carried the baby and rushed upstairs, followed hastily by Tian Xianghua.

"How could you let Lan Tian treat our child, she isn’t a doctor." Inside the house, Tian Xianghua couldn’t hold back her words and asked her husband, her face full of worry, fear, and disagreement, "You should borrow a car from the army and rush to the hospital! The sooner we get to the hospital, the sooner the baby will get better."

Seeing her son’s discomfort, Tian Chunhua’s heart ached tremendously, wishing she could suffer for her son instead.

"You’ve been with her for such a long time, do you think she is someone who speaks recklessly? She wouldn’t speak without assurance." The First Battalion Commander looked at his wife disapprovingly and then asked Tian Xianghua.

Tian Xianghua, recalling Lan Tian’s usual character, slowly sat down and shook her head, "No, but I’ve never heard her say she knows how to treat illnesses!"

Holding a towel to wipe the cold sweat on her son’s face, her expression somewhat relaxed.

"Don’t worry, she will definitely cure our son." The First Battalion Commander reassured Tian Xianghua with confidence from nowhere.

Lan Tian opened the door, flipped her hand, and brought the bag she often carried outside, locked the door and went upstairs, heading straight to Tian Xianghua’s house.

"Sister-in-law, I’m coming in." The upstairs doors were all closed, only one main door was open, without a second thought, this was Tian Xianghua’s house, Lan Tian stood at the door and shouted.

"Come in!" Tian Xianghua responded from inside, and Lan Tian stepped in.

She had only glanced at the child before, and knew the overall situation. Coming closer, she examined the child’s symptoms in detail: high fever, coarse and uneven breathing, breaking out in cold sweat, face flushed red, the child was visibly suffering, tossing and turning in bed.

Lan Tian had a plan in mind, she took out silver acupuncture needles from her bag and placed them beside the bed. Tian Xianghua saw the set of eye needles, staring wide-eyed at them, while the First Battalion Commander sighted the silver needles and breathed a sigh of relief.

She really can treat illnesses!

Tian Chunhua looked at the row of fine needles, and her eyes followed Lan Tian’s hands.

Placing a few needles on the child’s head and chest, the effect was immediate; the breathing slowly stabilized and the child stopped tossing and turning, soon falling into a deep sleep, emitting faint snores.

"Sister-in-law, do you have any boiled water?" It was almost time, Lan Tian removed the needles and put them away, looking towards Tian Xianghua.

Tian Xianghua was still dazed and didn’t hear Lan Tian calling her; the First Battalion Commander stood up, went to the kitchen, brought back half a bowl of boiled water, and handed it to Lan Tian.

Lan Tian took it, placed it on the nearby table, took out a brown pill from her bag, broke it into four pieces, put one quarter into the boiled water and waited for the pill to dissolve completely. After testing the water temperature and feeling it was about right, she handed the bowl to the First Battalion Commander.

"Give the baby the medicine."

First Battalion Commander held the medicine bowl and fed his son, as Lan Tian packed the remaining three portions into paper and handed them to Tian Xianghua, "Sister-in-law, take good care of this medicine. Eat it again tonight, and have one portion each day for the remaining two. The baby’s illness is almost gone."

Lan Tian didn’t leave, waiting for the First Battalion Commander to finish feeding the medicine to the baby before checking on its symptoms. Tian Xianghua had come to her senses and followed behind Lan Tian.

"Lan Tian, how is my son? He’s alright now, isn’t he!"

"He’s fine now; let him get a good sleep." Lan Tian patted the child’s head, tucked him into bed, and sat on the edge of the bed, "The baby has been sick for almost half a month, why didn’t you take him to the hospital?"

"How did you know?" Tian Xianghua looked at Lan Tian in shock and then was too ashamed to speak, after a while she finally said, "I went to the health clinic. He got better after taking two doses of Western medicine, but a few days later, he started having fevers again. We went back to the health clinic for more medicine, and it’s been fluctuating; I wasn’t too concerned until suddenly his condition worsened, he couldn’t even breathe, it scared me to death."

"There was phlegm stuck in his throat blocking his breath, I’ve cleared it." Now that the child was fine, the First Battalion Commander left for the study, leaving the room to the two of them.

"I never heard you mention that you could treat illnesses before. If it weren’t for today, none of the military wives in our building would have known about this. Lan Tian, you are amazing, a few needles and the person is fine, and also your medicine." Tian Xianghua looked at Lan Tian admiringly.

Lan Tian replied indifferently, "Sister-in-law, you never asked!"

That was indeed the case, Tian Chunhua felt foolish for asking such a question. Lan Tian couldn’t just meet someone and say, "I’ve studied medicine, I can treat illnesses" – that would be something only a fool would do.

"When did you come back? Your husband Mo Junhua isn’t at home, right?" Tian Xianghua stood up to pour a bowl of boiling water for Lan Tian. freёweɓnovel_com

A flicker flashed in the depths of Lan Tian’s eyes as she sensed from Tian Xianghua’s tone that she might know where Mo Junhua had gone.

"He’s not home; I don’t know where he’s gone. It’s been half a month since I visited Shanghai, so I came back to check. It’s nearly New Year, and I wanted to see if he has time to go back to the countryside to celebrate the Spring Festival."

Tian Xianghua peered towards the direction of the study, tiptoed to the door, looked outside, saw that the study door was closed, then she also closed the door of the room, returned to sit by the bed, and lowered her voice to speak to Lan Tian.

"You may not know, but I heard from my husband that Camp Commander Mo and others were deployed, it seems they went to fight in the south, the military kept the news confidential, not letting it spread. Two battalions were taken from our regiment, besides Camp Commander Mo there was also Fifth Battalion Commander, and his wife has been looking very pale lately, as if grieving like her husband is dead."

"That so!" Lan Tian’s expression remained indifferent, showing no signs of worry or anxiety.

"Aren’t you worried? War means people die; bullets don’t have eyes, what if something goes wrong? What if he loses an arm, breaks a leg, then his life is finished, he’ll just have to retire and go back to farming."

"He’s already gone; talking about it now is useless. Moreover, obeying orders is a soldier’s foremost duty; it’s his responsibility as a military man." Lan Tian actually hoped Mo Junhua would not come back so that she would have no restraints and could freely continue her cultivation, living a carefree life.

"..." Tian Xianghua was left speechless by Lan Tian. Educated people really do have higher awareness! She never considered that Lan Tian might not want Mo Junhua to return.

"This matter, the troops don’t know, they think Camp Commander Mo and others were sent on a mission. Just keep it to yourself, don’t go spreading it around," Tian Xianghua suddenly instructed Lan Tian.

Lan Tian nodded, "I understand. Sister-in-law, rest assured, I won’t talk about it."

The two sat in silence until Tian Xianghua suddenly called out, Lan Tian looked at her curiously.

"Right, I have something to tell you, you know Nurse Zhou, right?" Tian Xianghua said mysteriously.

Lan Tian nodded.

"Not long after Camp Commander Mo left, the health clinic’s Nurse Zhou also disappeared. I thought she had gone home for the Spring Festival. A few days ago, Ma Juanjuan accidentally let it slip; Nurse Zhou applied with the military and also went to the front line, saying the front line lacked medical staff and she wanted to contribute to the country and wasn’t afraid to sacrifice."

Tian Xianghua snorted in disdain, "I think she went there for Camp Commander Mo. I’ve heard from other military wives that it’s easy to develop feelings on the battlefield. Lan Tian, you should be aware."

Lan Tian was indeed surprised; in her past life, this had never happened, Zhou Yuwei following Mo Junhua to the battlefield regardless of life and death, taking such steps wasn’t easy.

The thought that someone was digging the corner this diligently, not even caring about her own life was being considered.
