Chapter 127: Love lasts forever, can you give it 5 stars?
Sheng Tunan was injured, and Shen Zhiyan asked the bodyguard to go back and drive the car. The three of them waited for the car outside the Ling family's courtyard wall.
A few minutes later, military vehicles carrying officers and soldiers drove over one after another. Shen Zhiyan counted and found that there were eight in total.
The soldiers got off the car in an orderly manner and ran into the Ling family compound. Some of them helped to clean up the bodies, while others moved gold, jewelry, weapons and a large amount of documents onto the car.
Commander He personally escorted the car, which contained important evidence of Ling Feng's collusion with the enemy and corruption, as well as wealth and new weapons that rivaled a country. These must be safely transported back to the military headquarters for safekeeping.
Commander He saw Sheng Tunan and Zhan Xinyue, nodded, but did not come over to say hello. He was on a mission and could not be distracted.
The bodyguard was very fast and drove back to the Ling family yard in more than ten minutes. Shen Min'e and Dong Wushuang also came with the car.
When the couple heard that Sheng Tunan was injured, they were worried and followed him here directly.
"Tuanan, where are you hurt? Are you okay?" Dong Wushuang staggered down before the car stopped completely. Seeing that Sheng Tuanan only had a bandage on his shoulder and looked energetic, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mom, I'm fine. I only had a minor wound, which Xinyue took care of for me. I also took the antibiotic pills she made. There won't be any infection later." Sheng Tunan hugged his mother with his uninjured left hand to reassure her.
"I'm glad you're okay, I'm glad you're okay." Dong Wushuang looked at Zhan Xinyue again: "Xinyue, are you okay too?"
"Mom, I'm fine." Zhan Xinyue replied.
"Mom, look at me, look at me. Your wise and brave youngest son with superb martial arts skills is okay. I can go in and fight five of them alone. Hehehe." Shen Zhiyan said with a grin.
After training day and night these days, he has become several shades darker. His white and neat teeth are exposed, forming a sharp contrast with his skin. He is totally qualified to be the spokesperson for Black Toothpaste.
"Seeing you're full of energy, you're fine." Dong Wushuang said it nonchalantly, but his eyes were worried and serious as he looked his youngest son over and over again.
"I'm glad you're okay, Laowu, you can walk back." Shen Min'e stood beside the car and looked distressed when he saw his eldest son was injured.
"Tunan, the passenger seat is spacious, you can sit on it since your shoulder is injured. Wushuang, Xinyue, you and I can sit in the back."
There was a first aid kit, gauze, iodine and alcohol at home, which were common medical supplies. Plus, Zhan Xinyue knew medical skills, so there was no need to go to the hospital.
Zhan Xinyue helped Sheng Tunan sit on the passenger seat, then went to the back seat. After everyone sat down, the bodyguard started the car.
There were injured people in the car, and the bodyguards were afraid that Sheng Tunan would get bumped into, so they drove slowly.
Shen Zhiyan had no seat left, so he simply ran back home following the bus.
Shen Zhiyan's speed was amazing. When the car slowly drove into the Shen family's yard, he made a final sprint and ran to the front like a gust of wind.
"Hey... Hey..." Shen Zhiyan bent over, supported his hands on his knees, and boasted breathlessly: "I, I'm faster than a car."
"Lao Wu is so awesome." After getting off the car, Zhan Xinyue applauded enthusiastically.
"Hehe." Shen Zhiyan laughed happily. His breath gradually calmed down and he opened the passenger door, "Brother, I'll help you get out of the car."
Sheng Tunan got out of the car with the help of Shen Zhiyan. His wound was a little painful and some blood was flowing. The man's lips were pale. Zhan Xinyue felt distressed and quickly ran to the other side to support her lover.
"Go upstairs first. I'll disinfect your wound, apply herbal medicine, and then re-bandage it." Zhan Xinyue said softly.
"Okay." Sheng Tunan nodded.
As the three of them walked up the stairs, they saw the door of the living room open and two little cannonballs rushed out one after the other.
"Pretty sister," five-year-old Wen Mingxuan ran faster, holding a box and said loudly, "This is for you. Grandpa Zeng said that you cured my leg. This is Xuanbao's thank-you gift to pretty sister."
Zhan Xinyue supported Sheng Tunan, but did not take the box. She smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you, Xuanbao. Can we go into the house first?"
"Yeah." Wen Mingxuan nodded sensibly, and ran to Zhan Xinyue with his short legs, ready to go into the house with her.
At this time, Li Yuchen caught up with her, carrying some spicy dried fish and running to Zhan Xinyue. He looked up with traces of crying on his face, and spoke softly,
"Sister Xinyue, do you not want Guagua anymore now that you have Xuanbao? Guagua even brought you some dried fish."
Li Yuchen held the bag high. "I asked Aunt Xiaofang to make it. It's really delicious."
Children who have not been exposed to the world have the purest souls.
Except for a few who are born bad, such as the two brothers who are cautious in their words and deeds.
Children's world is clean and pure, and they can accurately tell which adults have the purest souls.
Wen Mingxuan and Li Yuchen knew that Zhan Xinyue was a good person and smelled sweet, so they liked her very much. They also knew that being with Zhan Xinyue was the safest thing.
Old Wen rushed back to deal with Ling Feng's matter and sent someone to pick up Xuan Bao, but he refused to leave and insisted on staying at home waiting for Zhan Xinyue.
Li Yuchen and Dongfang Xiaoqing were also at Shen's house, waiting for Zhan Xinyue to come home.
"Beautiful sister, my gift to you is a lot of candies. They were given to me by my uncles. Now they are all given to you." Wen Mingxuan held the box high.
"Okay." Zhan Xinyue supported Sheng Tunan and continued to walk into the house. "You two should sit down on the sofa and wait for your sister to come down, okay?"
“Yeah.” The two little ones held their respective gifts and sat in a row obediently and sensibly.
Dongfang Xiaoqing had been waiting for Zhan Xinyue. Seeing her come back safe and sound, she immediately stood up and said, "Xinyue, I'm so glad you're okay. You don't know, when Lao Li and I came to the Shen family, we didn't see you and Tunan. We waited for a while and you didn't come back. My heart was pounding so hard."
Dongfang Xiaoqing took credit, "Later, it was me who suggested that Lao Li go find you. Alas, we were still a step too late, and Tunan was injured."
Zhan Xinyue pulled the corner of her mouth. It was indeed Dongfang Xiaoqing's reminder this time that allowed her and Sheng Tunan to escape easily. "Thank you."
"no, I'm fine."
"I'll change Tuanan's medicine first." After Zhan Xinyue said that, she and Shen Zhiyan helped Sheng Tuanan upstairs.
Dongfang Xiaoqing saw that Zhan Xinyue was no longer resisting her like before, and she raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and said to Shen Min'e and his wife who came in from behind: "Fortunately, it was just a false alarm. The children are fine. We as parents can rest assured."
Shen Min'e and Dong Wushuang just nodded and didn't continue talking.
After all, the daughter-in-law did not say that she wanted to recognize this mother, and it is impossible for them, as the parents-in-law, to call her mother-in-law on their own initiative.
Zhan Xinyue filled a basin with warm water, then carefully cut off Sheng Tunan's shirt. She used a towel dipped in warm water to wipe the man's upper body.
"Brother, you have so many old wounds." Shen Zhiyan did not leave. He sighed as he looked at the scars on Sheng Tunan's body.
Zhan Xinyue's face was full of distress, and her hands were shaking a little when she wiped them. She was a doctor and could see that two of the wounds were fatal.
"I left it on the battlefield." Sheng Tunan said calmly. Seeing tears welling up in his wife's eyes, he changed the subject and said, "Old Five, tell me about your visit to the Shen family."
Zhan Xinyue began to disinfect Sheng Tunan's shoulder with iodine. Shen Zhiyan helped to pour out the blood in the basin before he began to speak: "Brigade Commander Li is very concerned about you, brother. His wife said that you might be in danger, so he took the guards to the Ling family to look for someone. Our father also asked the bodyguards and guards to follow. Including the guards I borrowed from Yaqin's family, there are about fifty people in total."
As soon as Shen Zhiyan finished speaking, he heard hurried footsteps getting closer.
The door was not closed. The three of them looked towards the door together and saw He Yaqin, whom Shen Zhiyan had just mentioned.
"Shen Zhiyan, are you okay?" He Yaqin rushed in, grabbed Shen Zhiyan's arm and looked left and right, from the front to the back. Seeing that the object was intact, He Yaqin breathed a sigh of relief.
"You didn't tell me what it was when you borrowed the guards, so I thought you were just moving some things. Just now they came back and told me that you had a fierce battle at the Ling family, and one guard was slightly injured. I was almost scared to death." He Yaqin was so scared that she almost cried.
"Silly girl, I'm fine. Your partner is a top soldier every year, how could there be anything wrong with him?" Shen Zhiyan raised his arms to let He Yaqin see his muscles.
He Yaqin burst into laughter, and the two young lovers chatted with each other as if no one was around. He Yaqin blushed and glared at Shen Zhiyan, then she realized that Zhan Xinyue was applying medicine to Sheng Tunan.
"Sister-in-law, is brother seriously injured?" He Yaqin and Shen Zhiyan will get married next year, and their current partners are Sheng Tunan and his wife, brother and sister-in-law.
"Tunan's shoulder injury is not fatal, but he needs to rest for a few days." Zhan Xinyue replied. She had already applied the herbal medicine, then tied some gauze and put on a short-sleeved shirt for Sheng Tunan.
Sheng Tunan lowered his head and watched his wife buttoning his shirt, and rubbed his chin lightly against Zhan Xinyue's hair.
Very soft and smells nice.
Shen Zhiyan continued, "We led fifty people to the Ling family. Brigade Commander Li knew that we couldn't force our way in, so he asked those people to stop not far away. He was carrying some fruit and wanted to go in, claiming that he had just returned from the island to see the marshal. However, the guards looked panicked and refused to let him in. They even took out their guns and told us to retreat."
"Brigade Commander Li immediately became suspicious and winked at me, and the two of us subdued the four guards at the door with our bare hands." Shen Zhiyan coughed twice, paused, and said, "I took care of three of them."
"So amazing." He Yaqin's eyes were sparkling.
Shen Zhiyan became more and more proud, holding his head high and continued: "After we dealt with the guards, Brigadier General Li and I led people into the house, captured Ling Kong and his mother alive, and finally fought a decisive battle with the death squad in the secret passage."
"Those guys have the nerve to call themselves the Death Squad. After getting a few of them knocked down, they just prepare to run away." Shen Zhiyan shook his head, his contempt evident in his words.
Zhan Xinyue said, "Because they are only loyal to Ling Feng, and you are loyal to the motherland. The faith in your heart is stronger than theirs."
Sheng Tunan stood up and said, "My wife is right."
There were two little guests waiting for Zhan Xinyue downstairs, so everyone went downstairs.
As soon as Zhan Xinyue poked her head out at the stairs, the two little ones got down from the sofa and rushed over with gifts.
Zhan Xinyue accepted them one by one. The gifts from children are also thoughtful things. If she refused to accept them just because they are young, it would hurt their young hearts.
"Thank you Xuanbao, thank you Xiaoguagua."
"You're welcome." The two little mouths said in unison.
Then, Wen Mingxuan looked at Li Yuchen with a proud look. The beautiful sister called his name first.
Zhan Xinyue played with the two kids for a while. It was already six o'clock in the evening. Elder Wen and Li Brigade Commander were busy with Ling Feng's affairs and did not come to pick up the children. Dong Wushuang and Master Chen cooked a large table of dishes. Except for a few spicy Hunan dishes for Zhan Xinyue, the rest were light.
After all, there are two children and a wounded person today.
"Tunan, drink a bowl of bonito soup. This will help heal the wound." Dong Wushuang scooped the soup for his son and placed it in front of him.
"Thank you, Mom."
"Xinyue, this is the Dong'an chicken that Master Chen just learned to make. You should try it." Dong Wushuang used the serving chopsticks to pick up a big chicken leg for Zhan Xinyue.
Zhan Xinyue took the bowl with both hands and said, "Thank you, Mom."
After taking a bite and savoring it carefully, I can only say that the master chef is a master chef. He just learned how to make it taste right.
"It's delicious, sour, spicy, and fresh. It's appetizing and leaves a long aftertaste." Zhan Xinyue gave an accurate evaluation.
"Xinyue, if you like it, then eat more." Dongfang Xiaoqing was attentive and directly used her chopsticks to find a chicken wing and gave it to Zhan Xinyue.
Zhan Xinyue brought the bowl to her mouth and shook her head to refuse: "I don't like eating wings."
Dongfang Xiaoqing blushed and said awkwardly, "Then give it to Guagua. I'll pick up whatever you like."
Dong Wushuang saw that Zhan Xinyue disliked Dongfang Xiaoqing, so he picked up a piece of braised pork and gave it to Dongfang Xiaoqing.
"Comrade Dongfang, Xinyue is my daughter-in-law and the owner of this family. You are a guest. It is not right for a guest to serve food to the host. Just eat your meal and don't worry about us. As a mother, I know what Xinyue likes to eat and I will serve her some."
After saying that, he took Zhan Xinyue's bowl and used a serving chopstick to pick up a few pieces of chicken, cured fish, stir-fried green peppers, and stir-fried loofah for her.
"Xinyue, eat more. If it's not enough, mom will give you more."
Zhan Xinyue took it with both hands and smiled gratefully. The food was piled up like a mountain in the bowl, and Dongfang Xiaoqing had no place to put any more food.
Dong Wushuang would not show favoritism. After picking up the dishes for Zhan Xinyue, he also picked up a bowl for He Yaqin.
The two children were very obedient and ate their meals quietly without any supervision from the adults.
Everyone was very satisfied with the meal, except Dongfang Xiaoqing.
Some time ago, I learned that Brigade Commander Li was going to be transferred back to Beijing. Although he was promoted on paper, his real power was still not as great as that of a brigade commander. Moreover, Beijing was full of high-ranking officials. Dongfang Xiaoqing was the kind of person who would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.
In Huanyu Island, she was the most important military wife. She didn't have to look at anyone's face, and everyone had to flatter her. But it was different in the capital. Who would flatter the lover of a logistics minister?
Dongfang Xiaoqing inquired from many sources and learned that Sheng Tunan was found by his biological parents and recognized as his biological father, and that his father was the famous father of the hydrogen bomb. Dongfang Xiaoqing was immediately upset. As soon as she arrived in Beijing, she brought seafood from the island to find Zhan Xinyue and Sheng Tunan. Dongfang Xiaoqing helped her daughter and son-in-law by accident. She thought it was a sure thing this time and her daughter would definitely recognize her.
But unexpectedly, Zhan Xinyue still seemed unmoved.
Dongfang Xiaoqing finished her meal without any appetite and sat on the sofa waiting for Li Xiangqiang to pick her up.
Zhan Xinyue continued to play games with the two children. At around seven o'clock, Old Wen took Wen Mingxuan back home as he was about to go to bed. Li Yuchen had been playing for a whole day and fell asleep directly on the sofa.
Zhan Xinyue stood up, walked over to Dongfang Xiaoqing, who was absent-mindedly flipping through the newspaper, and said straight to the point: "Go sit in the yard, I have something to tell you."
