Chapter 198: Impacted by something

Sensing Gu Grandpa's gaze, Mao Dan touched his face, his tone puzzled. "Gu Grandpa?"

"No, nothing." Gu Fu pulled his mouth.

Mao Dan didn't think much and put all his attention on Ning Old Mother.

Gu Mu pulled the old man to the corner. Her gaze measured him. "What's going on? Why is your expression when looking at Mao Dan so strange?"

"You say..." Gu Fu weighed his words, his eyes looking at his old wife. "Is there a possibility that Mao Dan's father didn't die?"

Gu Mu: "..."

She reached out to touch the old man's forehead. "You don't have a fever, right? The certificate of sacrifice issued by the army, can that be fake!"

Gu Fu felt it was also true. "Then I saw it wrong."

"What did you see?" Gu Mu was curious.

"... Saw a person, a bit like Mao Dan's father." Gu Fu said. Actually, it wasn't a bit like, it was very like. Mao Dan's father was tall, broad-shouldered, and had deep eye sockets. When he put on his military uniform, he was very upright. Although the person he saw had some differences from the person in his memory, they were indeed cast from the same mold.

Really like, ah.

Mao Dan was a replica of that face.

"People have similarities." Gu Mu said. "Mao Dan's father has been sacrificed for many years. Don't mention it randomly, so as not to poke at people's pain."

"I know."

He didn't mention it, but fate had its own arrangements.

Sun Guoshou accidentally saw Mao Dan's face, instantly lost his calmness, grabbed the guard's arm, and pointed at the little boy not far away.

"Look at that child quickly, what do you feel?" He stared at the guard.

The guard scratched his head. "Quite familiar, hehe."

"..."

Where did this silly boy come from!

Sun Guoshou almost couldn't catch his breath.

"Didn't you feel that child looks very much like your chief?" He asked, afraid that this boy would say something shocking again, and said directly: "Is it cast from the same mold?"

The guard widened his eyes and looked, really seeing something. "... Really, it's like, like the chief's son."

"Right!" Sun Guoshou clapped his hands, thinking of that person's age, and felt more and more that it wasn't impossible.

"No way..." The guard said, "He looks only six or seven years old, how could he be the chief's son?"

"Looking six or seven doesn't necessarily mean six or seven." Sun Guoshou had thoughts in his eyes. "Some children grow slowly."

Without a man in the family, life might not be good.

Mao Dan was very sensitive, feeling someone staring at him. He looked vigilantly, saw the military uniform on the guard, his eyes hesitated for a moment, and his tense little shoulders relaxed.

Gu Mu came to find Mao Dan, saw him stop at the corner, took the wet towel from his hand, and pulled him toward the ward. "... Go back to the ward, why are you dazed."

Mao Dan moved his mouth, wanting to say someone was looking at him, but felt embarrassed, touched his ears, smiled shyly at the aunt, didn't look over there again, and followed Gu Mu back to the ward.

They just left, and Chief Ning walked over, surrounded by several people, two of whom had inconvenient hands and feet.

Sun Guoshou and the guard wanted to mention the little boy, but now wasn't a good time to talk, so they had to give up first.

The imposing group walked forward, walked to the end, and entered the largest ward.

The purpose of this trip was to test the medicine, under the eyelids of the biggest chief.

The two people with inconvenient hands and feet were also retired soldiers, working in the armed forces department. One had a strangely bent right leg, and one had a powerless arm.

They were suddenly recalled by the organization and were still confused. Hearing the reason, they all agreed without hesitation.

The doctor wasn't doing it for the first time and was very familiar with the process. It was just that the chief surnamed Ning shouldn't stare at him. The other party's gaze was very oppressive. If it weren't for his professional skills, his hands would have been shaking uncontrollably by now.

Fortunately, it was completed smoothly.

The male doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead, his voice light. "Next, just wait. When the medicine takes effect, you will feel pain. Pain is normal. Try not to move around, otherwise it will affect the treatment effect."

One soldier said: "Not afraid of pain, as long as it's useful."

Even more pain wasn't as painful as being forced to leave the army and leave comrades... in the heart.

"Right." Another said, "We soldiers can break through wind and rain, what is pain?"

Chief Ning's expression agreed.

Yes.

Which soldier hasn't been injured and doesn't have scars on his body?

But for the sake of the country, they don't shout pain or tiredness.

Not long after, the two soldiers felt their injured places burning, as if burned by fire, the feeling of flesh and skin bursting.

After the hot and spicy feeling, it was pain.

The pain of cutting with a knife.

The man who said he wasn't afraid of pain was sweating, his two rows of teeth together, making a creaking sound.

Sun Guoshou couldn't bear to look, gave them a piece of soft wood each, and let them bite it.

Don't cure the leg and break the teeth.

The soldier comrades took the soft wood, bit it, and the moment they loosened their teeth, low groans of pain flowed from their mouths.

Just mother thief, really painful!

This torture was still continuing, getting more and more painful. Gradually, they couldn't control their slight trembling.

The doctor stood aside and recorded quickly.

【... The longer the injury, the heavier the pain, the longer the pain.】

This was a new conclusion.

Sun Guoshou wasn't idle either. He sat beside the two soldiers, took their pulses one by one, feeling their pulses getting stronger and stronger, and surprise appeared in his eyes.

Strange.

But it was a good thing.

He nodded to Chief Ning.

Chief Ning's tightly locked brows loosened.

After a while, the two soldiers who were twisted by pain relaxed their expressions, spat out the soft wood, and laughed.

"Not painful anymore." The soldier who took off the soft wood first said.

Another followed, "The arm feels numb, feels like it has strength."

The words were full of excitement.

Chief Ning couldn't sit still and stood up.

Time flew by.

The two soldiers who tested the medicine felt no feeling in their wounds and stood up at the same time. One tentatively walked a few steps forward, and the other moved his arm carefully.

After trying, they found it was different!

The former could stand straight, and walking was no problem, as upright as it could be; the latter could straighten and bend his arm, and drinking water with a cup was no problem.

Two pairs of determined eyes burst with light.

"I can walk?!!"

"This arm of mine can be used?!!"

The moment the words came out, they burst into laughter together.

"If there are comrades injured to this extent in the future, they won't have to be forced to leave, too good!"

"Thank the country, thank the organization, thank the doctor..."

The doctor who was thanked waved his hands. "Don't thank me, I'm ashamed, the person who made this medicine is someone else."

He glanced at Chief Ning, looking like he had taboos.

It was almost clearly saying that the person's identity was sensitive.

Chief Ning narrowed his eyes.

He had a count in his heart and didn't ask much for the time being.

If that person had real talent, he wouldn't care what sensitive identity the other party had, just go where they should go!

The military hospital was lacking good doctors, ah.

Confirming the medicine was indeed useful, Chief Ning was determined to get it.

"This medicine..." His tone paused. "Who should I talk to?"

"Knock, knock, knock!" The ward door was knocked.

The guard pushed the door open. "Chief, a Comrade Yang is looking for you."

Yang?

Chief Ning instantly knew who it was.

When the military region didn't send anyone, the Yang family and Jiang family mediated, so that the medicine didn't fall into the hands of speculators.

They were all good comrades.

Nodded apologetically to the people in the ward and walked out.

Seeing it was a young man, he wasn't surprised.

The two went to the dean's office for a private conversation.

Learning from Yang Yang Junzhi that the medicine maker was a bad element and was raising pigs in the brigade, Chief Ning felt heartbroken.

Such a talent, let people raise pigs?

He darkened his face.

What kind of mess is this.

"This is not a problem." Chief Ning said in a deep voice.

Yang Yang Junzhi was overjoyed.

Gu Chenghuai's matter was half done!

He added, "This medicine can't be used just with the prescription. One herb inside is not common. Only that comrade has it in his hands, and only he knows how to cultivate it. Why not let him enter the military region and specialize in planting herbs? This value is much greater than raising pigs."

Chief Ning also planned to do so.

Not a trace of emotion was revealed on his murderous face.

"The organization will arrange it."

Yang Yang Junzhi didn't say much more.

Okay, superiors don't like others pointing fingers. He understood. His grandfather was also like this, speaking one thing and not another, unable to listen to others forcing him.

Honestly handed over the prescription.

Up to here, everything he should do was done, the rest depended on others.

Gu Chenghuai should have arranged it, right?

The facts were indeed so—

Chief Ning had been missing for many years, his connections were long gone. To overturn the case for the Meng family, he still had to rely on the Yun family.

Old Man Yun was an old revolutionary, with many old comrades in important positions, and his relationship network was powerful. He was willing to protect anyone who had made contributions to the country and the military.

Receiving the telegram sent by the junior he admired, he immediately took action.

The case-overturning document for the Meng family had just come down.

After finishing the official business, Chief Ning wanted to take people back to the guesthouse, planning to go to Fengshou Brigade tomorrow to see that uncommon herb.

Just walking, Sun Guoshou opened his mouth, "I saw a boy before."

Chief Ning looked at him sideways.

"And then?"

Before Sun Guoshou could speak, the guard couldn't hold back. "That child looks exactly like you, especially the brows and eyes."

Chief Ning didn't take it to heart.

It was normal for people to have similarities.

"Chief, do you have a son?" The guard said, "Could that child be your son?"

He admired the chief and put two hundred percent of his heart into everything about the chief.

Taking advantage of the chief talking to local officials, the guard went to inquire about that boy.

Thanks to the light of this military uniform, it went smoothly.

Hearing the guard's words, Chief Ning's head suddenly started to ache.

"I have your seed..."

"When you come back next time, the baby in the belly will be out. If you come back late, the baby will call you Dad!"

"Peace, come back safely, you haven't heard the child call you Dad yet."

"Don't worry about Dad and Mom, I'm at home, you just protect the country, we'll wait for you to come home."

"... Don't forget to write letters!"

Words blown by the wind rang in his ears.

He covered his swollen head, almost unable to stand firm, supported the wall, and pictures were about to squeeze out.

The guard saw the leader start to ache again and hurriedly said, "Sun Doctor, quickly, take out your needles and prick the leader's head!"

Sun Guoshou: "..."

Chief Ning's head ached severely, his black eyes red.

He looked at the guard.

Supporting himself, he asked, "That boy... what's the situation?"

The guard hurriedly said the news he investigated, "The Ning family only has a grandfather and grandson. I heard there was a son in the army, but the son sacrificed a long time ago."

"The news of that son's sacrifice came, his wife gave birth to that child with difficulty, and died of illness a few years later. Later, the child's grandfather passed away, and the old lady relied on the pension received every month to raise her grandson..."

These were very strange things to Chief Ning. He couldn't match everyone, but felt his eyes were hot, and his throat seemed to be blocked.

Realizing that his emotions were wrong, he looked at the guard.

"Which ward is that family in?"

After speaking, the usually rational man knew he was impulsive, but didn't regret it, vaguely feeling that he wouldn't regret it only after going.

The guard looked worried. "Aren't you aching?"

The leader's forehead had blue veins popping out, which was a sign of severe pain.

"It's okay."

The guard looked at Sun Guoshou. With this person here, it should be fine.

"Ward 301."

Almost the moment he got the news, Chief Ning strode upstairs.

Arriving at the third floor, his gaze swept over and quickly fixed on 301.

Walked over and stopped at the door.

Through the small window on the door, he saw the people inside.

The slightly older woman rubbed the head of the little boy with his back to the door and said something with a smile.

This child is the one Old Sun and the others said looked like him, right?

Inexplicably, the tall soldier outside the door felt nervous.

Chief Ning was surprised.

He had never been nervous even when doing the most difficult missions.

Seeing the leader standing at the door without moving for a long time, the guard wanted to step forward to remind him, but was pressed on the shoulder by Sun Guoshou.

The old doctor with half-white hair shook his head.

Where did this silly boy come from, not having any eye color at all!

Silly.

"Don't make a sound, just pretend you're a piece of wood." Sun Guoshou reminded in a low voice.

Although the guard was silly, he was obedient. His mother taught him since he was a child: it doesn't matter if you are stupid, listen to smart people. He did so. Look, how good his future is.

Thinking this way, the tall, silly boy smiled foolishly.

The ward door was suddenly knocked.

Mao Dan rushed to open the door.

Outside the door were several strangers, all very tall. The child felt the pressure and retreated a few steps. 【198-

He felt as if he had been struck by something.

His calm, sharp mind went blank for an instant.

"You..." Chief Ning's voice was dry; he stared at Maodan, unable to collect his thoughts for a long while.

A feeling of closeness.

Just looking at this young, innocent face, his heart, which had been as still as an ancient well, softened completely, and he longed to bring the best things in the world before him.

"What is your name?"

Maodan had no defenses against anyone wearing a military uniform.

He tried hard to tilt his head back to look at the man and said, "My name is Maodan, Ning Maodan."

"Maodan..." Chief Ning's gaze softened. "A very cute name."

The guard looked at the back of the Chief's head with an absurd expression, his face showing horror.

This was the first time he had ever heard the Chief speak in such a gentle voice; was this even the same person?!

"... Thank you," Maodan replied politely.

He looked Chief Ning over quite openly, showing no fear, and asked calmly, "Do you have business here since you came to knock on the door?"

Just as the words fell, Gu Mu recovered from her daze, her voice tight, "Are you Mingde?"

Chief Ning did not rush to deny it, his gaze resting on her face.

"Do you know me?"

As he asked, his sharp-lined jaw tightened, and the emotions in his heart were complex and hard to describe.

Gu Mu: "..."

Gu Mu did not know if she should know him.

The old man was right; this person's brows and eyes were exactly the same as Maodan's, very much like the person in their memories, but... the look in his eyes when he watched her was that of a stranger.

That shouldn't be.

If it were that person, he wouldn't be unable to recognize them, right?

While the people at the door were talking, Old Lady Ning on the hospital bed opened her eyes.
