Jiang Ci glanced at the wife of Battalion Commander Su.
She shook her head and said, “That won’t work. After I save someone, if some petty person maliciously reports that I was fired from the hospital and saved someone without a medical license, then I really won’t be able to wash away the suspicion even if I jump into the Yellow River. Isn’t that right, Battalion Commander Su’s wife?”
Ha!
The wife of Battalion Commander Su stiffened, her eyes flickering, “What are you talking about! I’m a country folk, I don’t understand your city people’s twists and turns. Jiang Ci, don’t mistake good intentions, I’m all for your benefit.”
“Oh! For my benefit! Then why didn’t you stop Mo Dacheng when he was chasing and hitting me?”
“This, that, that’s uncle disciplining niece, it’s all, all family matters, how could I, an outsider, interfere?”
She was quite eloquent.
Looking at her flickering eyes and that dishonest demeanor, Jiang Ci smiled.
She stared intently at her eyes, the smile growing larger and larger.
She laughed until Battalion Commander Su’s wife felt uneasy inside.
She muttered a couple of sentences, “Really doesn’t recognize good intentions, leaving, leaving.”
Once she left.
Zhao Cuilan even more tightly grabbed Jiang Ci’s clothes, not letting her leave if she didn’t save someone.
Jiang Ci said one sentence, “If you don’t send him to the hospital, you might become a widow.”
Zhao Cuilan was both angry and anxious, but still released Jiang Ci and took Mo Dacheng to the hospital.
The good mood of the early morning was completely ruined by these two troublemakers.
Returning home, she filled the thermos with Space Spiritual Stream Water and brought it over to Pei Jiran.
Just then, the service soldier caring for Pei Jiran returned with the purchased medicine and met Jiang Ci at the door, “Hello, Doctor Jiang.”
“Hello, you are…”
“Doctor Jiang, I’m the service soldier responsible for caring for Commander Pei, Xie Xiaotian. You can call me Xiao Tian.”
“Oh oh!” Jiang Ci nodded, looking at the medicine package in his hand and asked, “The medicine has been purchased?”
“Yes, Doctor Jiang.”
Xiao Tian handed over the purchased medicine, Jiang Ci, even through the paper wrapping, smelled that the scent wasn’t right.
“Where did you purchase the medicine?”
“At Nancheng Hospital, the hospital you work at.”
Hmm?
Jiang Ci was slightly stunned.
Immediately taking the medicine package, handing the thermos to Xiao Tian, she opened the medicine package.
Xie Xiaotian sensed Jiang Ci’s attitude and immediately became nervous, “Doctor Jiang, is the medicine wrong?”
“It’s not wrong…”
Jiang Ci examined these medicinal herbs one by one, taking each to the tip of her nose to smell, “The scent is wrong.”
“Ah? Then, then is it fake medicine?”
“No” Jiang Ci shook her head.
Xie Xiaotian was confused, scratching his head and asked, “Then what’s wrong?”
“The method of processing the medicinal herbs is incorrect, the medicinal efficacy can’t be fully released, some even carry slight toxicity.”
If used long-term, the illness wouldn’t be alleviated, on the contrary, it might even worsen the condition.
No wonder the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department at the hospital was complained by patients for not curing illnesses, some conditions would worsen, the reason was actually here.
“Without medicinal efficacy, the hospital still dares to sell it to the common people. No, I must report to the leadership, this is simply harming people.”
Xie Xiaotian indignantly said, turning around to leave.
“Wait” Jiang Ci called him back, “Do you have evidence? You want to report the situation?”
“This medicine isn’t evidence?”
“You’re thinking too naively, the medicinal herb industry is very deep, not clearly black and white. Here, different methods of processing medicinal herbs yield different efficacy, it’s not necessarily wrong…”
“Ah”
Xie Xiaotian was bewildered.
“You wouldn’t understand even if I told you, so don’t worry about this matter. Just focus on taking good care of your Commander Pei. I’ll go to the hospital this afternoon to discuss it with Director Cai from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department.”
“This? Alright then! Hehe! Doctor Jiang, you really know a lot. You’re amazing, just like our Commander Pei.”
Jiang Ci: …
“So, who’s more amazing—me or your regiment commander?”
Xie Xiaotian scratched his head again with a chuckle, stumped by the question. “Well, this… this… you’re both amazing, hehe!”
“Alright then. Take the water in to your commander. Don’t bother getting the medicine for now. Make sure he drinks more water from the thermos, understand?”
“Mhm! Got it.”
As Xie Xiaotian turned to leave, he noticed Jiang Ci about to depart and called out, “Doctor Jiang, aren’t you going in to see our commander?”
“I won’t go in this time. I have other matters to attend to. Maybe next time.”
Jiang Ci left without another word.
Unnoticed by her, Pei Jiran had already opened the door and was sitting in his wheelchair, quietly watching her.
“Commander… Doctor Jiang just left. Should we…”
“No need.”
Pei Jiran slowly lowered his beautiful eyes, the faint trace of joy in them vanishing in an instant.
“Commander, Doctor Jiang is truly remarkable…”
Xie Xiaotian set down the thermos and pushed Pei Jiran’s wheelchair back into the room, chattering away as he recounted what had just happened.
Pei Jiran listened quietly, seeming somewhat distracted.
Seeing this, Xie Xiaotian gradually fell silent and stopped talking.
He simply poured a full enamel mug of the water Jiang Ci had brought and handed it to Pei Jiran. “Commander, this is the Divine Water Doctor Jiang sent over, hehe!”
He found it amusing—just a pot of water, yet Doctor Jiang had made it sound so mysterious.
“Doctor Jiang sent this?”
Pei Jiran took the enamel mug, a hint of surprise in his tone.
“Yes, Commander. Doctor Jiang said you don’t have to take the medicine, but you must drink this water. She also said…”
“She also said what?”
“She also said that after you finish it, she’ll bring more water tomorrow.”
Hmm?
Was she expecting him to finish an entire pot of water in one day?
At this thought, Pei Jiran couldn’t help but let out a soft chuckle.
He raised the enamel mug and took a small sip. The cool water tasted sweet, and it felt like a long-awaited rain quenching his parched throat.
It was incredibly thirst-quenching. Even though it was cold water in the middle of winter, it didn’t feel icy in his stomach. Instead, a warmth spread from his stomach to his limbs.
Pei Jiran couldn’t resist drinking the entire mug in one go, instantly feeling warmth spread throughout his body.
This water was definitely not ordinary.
“Fill it up again.”
“Huh?” Xie Xiaotian was a bit dumbfounded. “Commander, drinking too much cold water might upset your stomach. Let me boil it for you before you drink more.”
“No need. Cold water quenches thirst better.”
And so, Xie Xiaotian watched as Pei Jiran drank half a pot of cold water in one go, growing more and more energized with each sip.
This alarmed Xie Xiaotian, who feared Pei Jiran might fall ill from drinking so much. He absolutely refused to pour the remaining half pot for him.
Pei Jiran had no choice but to give up.
But since Jiang Ci had given him such miraculous water, he felt he owed her something in return.
He didn’t like owing favors to others.
So he simply said to Xie Xiaotian, “Go find out what Doctor Jiang has been busy with lately and whether she needs any help. Report back to me.”
Xie Xiaotian hesitated for a moment, then happily nodded and agreed, “Yes, Commander. I’ll definitely help you arrange a meeting with Doctor Jiang.”
Hehe.
The commander is finally catching on. Is he planning to pursue Doctor Jiang?
That’s wonderful.
Although Doctor Jiang’s gaze towards the Regiment Commander was quite direct, Doctor Jiang was so outstanding—only such a female comrade could be worthy of their Regiment Commander.
Pei Jiran: ?
“No, I mean…”
“Regiment Commander, I know what you mean. Don’t worry, I’ll handle it.”
Ha!
Pei Jiran watched Xie Xiao Tian’s figure running away. What did he know? That he would handle it?
He just wanted to see if Jiang Ci needed any help, not to arrange a meeting with Jiang Ci as Xie Xiao Tian said…
