Cheng Liguo looked at Cheng Qiao deeply. Since his daughter didn't want to say more, he didn't ask any more questions. In fact, Cheng Qiao was also worried. She could tell Li Huan that she was reborn, but she didn't dare to tell her father about it. It was like cutting a father's heart with a knife.
The two of them worked together to lift Qin Guoqing to the front middle position. Cheng Qiao's delicate hands moved slightly, and the supplies that had just been put away appeared in the carriage intact.
"Dad, you show us the way and we'll deliver the supplies."
Cheng Liguo nodded, held Qin Guoqing with one hand, let him lean on him, pointed the way with the other hand, and turned right after leaving the notch.
Cheng Qiao held the steering wheel and drove steadily on the road. He saw a long mountain range on the south side of the road and thought that this should be the Qilian Mountains. The top of the mountain was shrouded in mist and was quite spectacular.
Thinking back to what the master had said, the Qilian Mountains are very high and large, with an altitude of 4,000-6,000 meters. If you go up the mountain, you have to be careful of the glaciers and even more so of altitude sickness, so Cheng Qiao prepared a lot of Cordyceps sinensis and other medicinal herbs.
The car drove smoothly to the Wuwei garrison. The young officer on duty at the gate was very familiar with the car, but when he found that the driver was actually a beautiful woman, he couldn't help but raise the gun in his hand.
Cheng Liguo had rolled down the car window and asked a young general to call Li Bing out. Another young general ran to Cheng Liguo's side, looked inside, and saw Qin Guoqing who was unconscious.
While blew the whistle, he went to the sentry box to call Li Bing. After Li Bing answered the call, he and Qin Daqiang quickly came to the gate.
"Sister-in-law, why are you here? What happened to National Day?"
Li Bing was shocked to see Cheng Qiao sitting in the cab, and was also surprised to see Qin Guoqing unconscious, but he did not lose his composure. Instead, he introduced Cheng Qiao to Qin Daqiang.
Qin Daqiang's eyes flickered. It turned out to be Li Bing's sister-in-law. At the same time, he saw that his only son was unconscious, and his heart suddenly tightened.
"Captain Qin, we were robbed at the bend. Guoqing fought with the criminals to save the supplies and was accidentally shot in the leg by their homemade rifle."
"Bend, it's those bastards again, how is the National Day now?"
"He should be fine now. I have already removed the steel ball from him and disinfected and bandaged him. He is unconscious because I gave him some anesthetic. Otherwise, the road was rough and it would have been painful for him."
"Hurry up, carry the person onto the stretcher and send him to the dormitory. Oh, open the door and let the car in."
Qin Daqiang felt sorry for his son. When he learned that his son had only injured his leg and had already been disinfected and bandaged, he suddenly felt relieved. He quickly asked someone to bring a stretcher and sent his son to the dormitory first, and he followed closely behind.
Qin Guoqing was carried away, and Li Bing sat in, directing Cheng Qiao to park the car at the back door of the canteen. The cook had already received the news and was waiting at the door.
Several people were carrying things and keeping accounts. In just five minutes, the car was clean. While they were carrying the supplies, Cheng Qiao took a child out of the backpack at the back.
"This must be little Cheng Li, why did you bring him here as well?"
When Li Bing saw little Cheng Li, his eyes blossomed with smiles. Although this child's surname was Cheng, he was also the eldest grandson of their Li family.
"Xuhui and his grandmother are at home. Mom can't do so much by herself, so I'd better bring the little guy out."
Li Huan would write to Li Bing every month, and would usually tell Li Bing about all the big and small things happening at home, not to mention the fact that Xuhui saved little Cheng Li's life and they adopted Xuhui as their son.
Li Bing nodded. Even though there was nothing to do in his hometown, farming alone could make a person exhausted, not to mention taking care of a paralyzed old man and raising a six-year-old child.
"Sister-in-law, do you want to live here or with your father?"
"I want to live with my dad. He has a cave here, too. But you have to send someone to take us back. By the way, here are the sweaters and trousers that mom asked me to bring you, as well as some food."
Cheng Qiao handed a large package from the backpack to Li Bing. Hearing that it was something given to him by Li's mother, Li Bing felt guilty. He thought that when he got promoted, his allowance would also be increased to a higher level, and he would then send more money to his mother.
"Little troublemaker, drive my sister-in-law and Uncle Cheng to the Garden Management Office."
"Okay, hello sister-in-law, hello Uncle Cheng, I'll take you there."
The little troublemaker got into the driver's seat. He was the same age as Qin Guoqing and they learned to drive together. The little troublemaker was very talkative and upon asking, we found out that he was a local.
"Little troublemaker, if I want to go to Qilian Mountain, do you know anyone here who can be my guide? I won't let them do it for nothing. How about two kilograms of white rice or white flour a day?"
The little troublemaker looked at Cheng Qiao with shining eyes. His father was originally a hunter. When the family was so poor that they could not even make ends meet, he would go up to the Qilian Mountains with his homemade gun.
"My father is familiar with it, but since I joined the army and got the allowance to support the family, my father hasn't been to the mountain for a long time."
"Okay, if your father agrees to be your guide someday, come find me in the cave, or you can find my father."
The car did not go to the garden management office, but drove to the cave where Cheng Liguo lived. Cheng Qiao took out two cooked eggs from his pocket and stuffed them into the little troublemaker's hands as a token of gratitude.
Seeing the eggs, the little troublemaker thanked repeatedly with joy and carefully put the eggs into his pocket. You know, eggs are provided for the sick and they can only eat them occasionally.
Cheng Qiao carried little Cheng Li out of the car. As soon as she got off the car, a gust of wind blew, and sand all over the sky came in the wind. Cheng Qiao hurriedly took out a thin blanket from the space and hugged little Cheng Li.
Because of his perspective, the little troublemaker did not see Cheng Qiao taking out the blanket from the space, but Cheng Liguo was so frightened by Cheng Qiao's action that his heart almost stopped beating.
I looked around guiltily. Fortunately, the wind and sand were blowing all over the sky and visibility was low. I could only see a figure two meters away.
Pulling Cheng Qiao towards the cave, they felt a warm breath when they entered. It turned out that when Cheng Liguo left, he gave the key to Yuan Guangming who lived next door.
Yuan Guangming started counting the days since he left Qin Guoqing. He calculated that Cheng Liguo should be back in the next two days, so he cleaned the house and lit the kang in advance.
"Brother Yuan, I'm back. Let me introduce you to my daughter Cheng Qiao and my grandson Cheng Li."
Yuan Guangming looked up at Cheng Qiao, who had bright eyes and white teeth, and most importantly, her smile seemed to dilute the gloomy weather and brighten up the entire cave.
"Okay, okay, Brother Cheng, they are indeed your children. They are both outstanding people."
"Uncle Yuan, do you know a woman named Yuan Mengzhi, who is about 40 years old?"
When Cheng Qiao saw Yuan Guangming, she thought of Yuan Mengzhi. She had only met Yuan Mengzhi once, but she remembered her in her mind because Yuan Mengzhi's temperament was so outstanding.
