On the way back, the off-road vehicle shook and the whole car was quiet.
Xiao Jing’s consciousness was chaotic. The high fever caused by the inflammation of the wound caused her breath to be filled with waves of heat.
A pair of cold hands were placed on her forehead. Lin Qi’s voice suddenly sounded both far away and close, as he said, “Lieutenant Xiao, would you like some water?”
Xiao Jing huddled on the car seat, her body suddenly turning both hot and cold. She shook her head and hit her head on the car window.
She looked at the endless green grassland outside the car and hugged the blanket around her body, as if she had returned to her childhood overnight.
Her mother chased her, as she ran around the manor like a wild horse running wild.
Suddenly, her little body bumped into a man’s body.
This was the first time she saw her father in her memory, when she was five years old.
The man looked violent, as if he had just returned from a bloody battle, and there was a lingering smell of blood.
“How can you be so reckless?” The man squatted down and carefully measured her height. “Why is he so thin?”
Her mother carefully replied: “Maybe it’s due to a congenital defect but he doesn’t eat enough.”
The man hugged her and said, “There is no such thing as a weak man in our Xiao family. No matter whether you can’t eat or don’t want to eat, you have to eat it. Only a strong body can hold up the gun on your shoulder.”
Next, the eldest brother, the second brother, the third brother, and a younger brother who was about the same age as her began to appear in her world.
Only then did she realize that her mother was her father’s third wife, and she did not have the same mother as her brothers.
Her mother patted her little head gently and looked at her father’s leaving figure. Her eyes were full of admiration as she said, “Xiao Jing, you have to remember that even if we are not men, we still have to hold our heads high and be a hero like your father. This man came back from the battlefield with glory. Even if he doesn’t love us, we have to love him and respect him, understand?”
He came back from the hail of bullets with scars all over his body.
Returned from the battlefield with glory.
Mom, I think I understand.
Drowsily, Xiao Jing always felt as if she was being carried on someone’s back. She opened her eyes weakly, and the afterglow of the setting sun fell softly on her body. She seemed to smell a very strong smell of potion.
“Are you awake?” The man’s voice was a little vague, but in the silence, it was like thunder exploding in Xiao Jing’s mind.
Xiao Jing got up with a cry, rubbed her eyes, rubbed her eyes again, and jumped off the man’s back as if she had seen a ghost.
Xiao Yao adjusted his military uniform, looked at Xiao Jing, who was almost as tall as him, and nodded with satisfaction.
“Father, Father!” Even though Xiao Jing had a sharp tongue, at this moment her speech was slurred and she was even tongue-tied.
Xiao Yao stood with his hands behind his back and smiled: “I originally led the troops here for field exercises, but I didn’t expect to encounter such a thing. I’m glad that we arrived in time. All the invading enemy troops have been captured.”
“Yes, sir.” Xiao Jing stood up straight and looked meticulous.
“Don’t be so formal. We are father and son, not a leader and a subordinate.” Xiao Yao glanced at Xiao Jing’s legs and feet, “Can you walk?”
“Yes, yes.” In order to prove that she was strong and healthy, Xiao Jing kicked her feet hastily, endured the pain, and straightened her body.
“There is a temporary infirmary ahead. I wanted to take you there. Now that you are awake, go there by yourself.”
Xiao Jing turned around and limped towards the medical tent, not forgetting her guilty conscience from time to time. She looked back at the man who was as serious as ever.
Did her father carry her on his back just now?
What to do? Why did she feel that her father had secretly poisoned her body, and she felt uncomfortable all over.
“Sir, the classification department has taken over here. Can we leave now?” The adjutant saluted Xiao Yao and reported the situation loudly.
Xiao Yao nodded, looking at the figure entering the small tent for a moment, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, “Such a battlefield is conducive to growth. Let more soldiers under your command practice here in the future.”
“Yes, sir.”
“My Xiao Yao’s children are always so outstanding.”
“…”
“This little fish kept in the boudoir has also begun to yearn for the surging sea. It doesn’t matter, as long as she likes it.”
