Chapter 470: Prevent tooth decay

The train was only this big, and the search team's movements weren't small, so naturally, some people associated it with a major figure having an accident.

Hu Tian searched from the back of the train to the middle carriage; not to mention places to hide people, he even checked every nook and cranny, but he couldn't find a trace of Secretary Xu.

Jiang Ye and Liu Aiguo weren't idle either, searching all the way from the sleeper carriage to the middle carriage.

Just as they were about to converge with Hu Tian's search team, the change happened at this moment!

"Crouch down, all of you! Whoever dares to get closer, I'll blow them away right here!"

The kidnapper revealed his hand, scooping up Secretary Xu, whose hands were tied and whose mouth was stuffed with a rag, from the seat.

The old-fashioned firearm was very conspicuous; regardless of whether there were bullets inside, no one at the scene dared to gamble.

"Ah!"

Ordinary passengers in the carriage screamed; those with small courage were already scared into fainting, and those with big courage were also fleeing with their heads in their hands, fearing that if the city gate caught fire, the fish in the moat would suffer!

"This gentleman, please calm down first. Do you know who you have kidnapped?"

Liu Aiguo held his hands above his head, moving toward the kidnapper without a sound.

On the other side, after receiving a signal from his comrade, Hu Tian was also finding an angle to hide without a sound.

Just because he didn't have a gun didn't mean he didn't have one.

It was nothing more than comparing whose marksmanship was more accurate. If his teammate could win by wit and rescue Secretary Xu without wasting a single bullet, and Secretary Xu wasn't injured, then he would spare this kidnapper.

"Stop, don't come closer; I naturally know who he is."

The kidnapper clamored, his tone full of impatience.

He had taken this assassination mission, so naturally, he knew who he was about to assassinate.

If half the time hadn't already passed and he hadn't made a move, he wouldn't have taken the risk to kidnap the target directly on the train.

It was just that he had been exposed; holding a hostage, he would try to delay time and preserve his own life before the next stop arrived.

"Alright, alright, don't be impulsive; I won't move."

Seeing Secretary Xu in pain, Liu Aiguo quickly stopped.

Damn it, he better not let him capture the person alive and ask who was behind him, otherwise, he would definitely...

In the sleeper carriage, the two little ones had woken up. Not seeing their dad in the room, they asked their mom where their dad had gone.

"Your dad went out to help with something; he'll be back soon."

Shen Man put down the medical book and carried the children one by one from the upper berth to the lower berth.

She didn't deliberately hide it from them, but she didn't reveal that something had happened on the train and there were bad people.

"Oh, oh, Dad is amazing!"

Xiao Nuomi nodded repeatedly, subconsciously praising her dad.

Her dad was a great hero; her dad was a super, super amazing existence!

Although Xiao Mantou didn't express it as directly as his sister, his eyes were also full of trust in his dad.

In the future, he wanted to join the army and be the strongest Marine Corps king like his dad!

Seeing that it was still early and not yet mealtime, Shen Man took out some fruit, hard candy, rabbit milk candy, small cookies, and small chocolates from her bag and spread them on the bed, letting the children pick and eat.

"Wow, chocolate candy, Mom, I love you!"

Xiao Nuomi gave enough emotional value to her mom; she loved eating chocolate candy the most!

"Don't be glib; you still have to brush your teeth before going to sleep at night."

Although Shen Man ate the flattery, she didn't forget to remind the children to brush their teeth before going to sleep to prevent tooth decay.

Eight years ago, she thought, if there were a reliable plan for changing teeth in this world's dentistry, she would take her grandfather to fix his teeth.

Never expected that eight years had passed, and the dentistry here was still a blank slate; the existing technology and means were not mature at all.

Her grandfather had lost a few teeth, and now chewing was a bit difficult; every time he ate, he had to chew slowly, and the food was either rotten, cooked through, or rotten like paste.

Besides her grandfather, her master, senior fellow apprentice, and other grandfathers all had different levels of dental problems.

Actually, the tooth-loss cycle for the elderly was considered normal; installing dentures or planting dentures would be fine.

But suffering from immature technology, the existing materials were harmful to the human body, or the rejection was severe, making it impossible to form batch production and disinfection installation.

Because some people had special constitutions and were more sensitive to certain things.

In short, these teeth had to be cherished from a young age.

Striving not to have tooth decay, not to have cavities, not to need root canal treatment—even if they wanted to do root canal treatment, the current conditions couldn't support it.

Parents who had any conditions at home would start correcting their children's teeth from a young age because they knew this would follow the children for a lifetime.

They recovered quickly when they were young; when they grew up, everything was set, and the bones were full—where would there be time to fix teeth?

Not to mention how much time and energy it would take, just the cost of fixing teeth was not a small expense.

There was also a genetic lottery: wisdom teeth.

Some were lucky to have one wisdom tooth, and some were unlucky to have several.

The lucky ones had wisdom teeth that grew out, not buried in the flesh, squeezing the adjacent 7th tooth.

The very unlucky ones had impacted wisdom teeth, all buried in the gums, lying down in wait.

Accompanied by being hidden in the mouth after changing teeth, when you couldn't brush them, they would quietly inflame and swell, torturing you.

Just thinking about it was painful; not pulling them wasn't an option, as not pulling them would ruin the adjacent 7th tooth.

If it was serious, it would also lead to the damage of the 7th tooth's root, requiring root canal treatment, which was also very painful...

Shen Man had been teaching them to rinse their mouths and brush their teeth since the children were two or three years old, protecting their oral hygiene.

So now the two children had a mouthful of sticky teeth, neat, white, and good-looking.

The permanent teeth that grew out during their eight or nine-year-old tooth-changing period shouldn't be too bad.

If the permanent teeth that grew out were crooked, the medical technology at that time should be more developed; she would see if she could find a more reliable dental hospital to do orthodontics for the children and wear braces. Fixing them when they were young would lead to better recovery when they grew up.

Of course, these were all bad plans; the good plan was that the children wouldn't have wisdom teeth, and their permanent teeth wouldn't be crooked, so they would grow healthy, white, and good teeth.

"Mm, I know, Mom, I will definitely brush my teeth well."

The two siblings nodded in unison; they were very concerned about their teeth.

Because their grandfathers were now losing teeth, and the empty spaces were so ugly, and it was inconvenient to eat and chew things. If the front teeth fell out, it would also leak air!

They weren't ugly, and they could distinguish good from bad, beauty from ugliness.

Thinking, if they had tooth decay because of eating candy, and then their teeth loosened and fell out, and they became a person without teeth, how ugly that would be!

The two siblings were very sensible, so whenever their mom urged them to brush their teeth and wash their faces, they would stand in front of the bathroom mirror and brush their teeth for two or three minutes meticulously.

Until there wasn't a trace of odor in their mouths, they would sleep with their mom and dad... ===== CHAPTER 471 =====
