Chapter 89 Entering the City
Lu Beiting spent the whole night coaxing her until she calmed down, and finally sighed as he looked at Xia Zhi sleeping soundly on his body.

If you can cry like this, what will you do in the future?
Should I put two candies under my pillow to comfort her whenever I want?

When Xia Zhi woke up, she didn't dare to look at Lu Beiting at all; it was too embarrassing. She got up and ran outside.

"Hey!" Lu Beiting was about to call her back to explain things properly when Xia Zhi ran off in a flash.

Lu Beiting stood there for a while before belatedly realizing that she might not be angry, but rather shy.

Lu Beiting propped his head up, preparing to talk to her properly when she came back, telling her that these things were normal between husband and wife and there was no need to be shy.

Xia Zhi ran outside with her head down. People greeted her on the way, but she didn't dare to reply.

I was afraid that if I looked up, people would laugh at me.

After arriving at the mountain, Xia Zhi angrily kicked at the grass beside her.

"I thought he was some kind of gentleman, but look! Humph, all men are the same!"

Xia Zhi grumbled and cursed, her mind replaying the scene of sexual tension from last night, and she bit her lip again.

Damn it, he outdid me!
No, I'll definitely get my revenge when she gets back!

Xia Zhi walked further in and soon encountered Pi Qiu, who was squatting on a rock sunbathing.

Hearing the familiar footsteps, he turned around in surprise and skipped over to her.

"Ball, I'm going to the city and won't be coming for the next few days. Remember to stay hidden. If anything seems amiss, go down the mountain and look for someone, understand?"

The ball scratched its head as it listened, but still nodded obediently.

"Okay, I'll bring you some delicious food when I come back." Xia Zhi smiled and patted its head.

Over this period of time, the ball seems to have grown a bit and become even more mischievous.

Xia Zhi stayed with them for a while before going down the mountain.

Upon entering the room, she saw Lu Beiting sitting at the table. She snorted and walked past him into the house.

Lu Beiting followed along eagerly, looking at Xia Zhi sitting on the edge of the bed with a serious expression.

"daughter in law……"

Xia Zhi quickly interrupted him, looking at his righteous and indignant expression, she knew without a doubt what outrageous things he was about to say.

"Alright, stop talking, or I'll send you to the military barracks."

Lu Beiting quickly shut up; she was going to the city tomorrow, and he didn't want to go back to the dormitory.

Lu Beiting stepped forward and looked at her. "Remember to bring the money with you. Don't forget to take care of yourself. If anything happens, remember to contact Hangzhi. Come back as soon as you're done, okay?"

Lu Beiting started muttering to himself again. If he weren't still having trouble walking, he would have gone with them.

"I know, I'm not a child anymore," Xia Zhi said stubbornly, but her heart was warm.

The next day, before dawn, Xia Zhi went to the train station with Shen Hangzhi.

Lu Beiting and Zhang Yi looked at her with reluctance.

It's only been a few days, but he feels like he doesn't want to be separated from her at all.

Xia Zhi looked at Lu Beiting, feeling a rare pang of reluctance, and went forward to hug him.

"I'll be back in a few days. Take good care of yourself at home, and don't forget to take your medicine."

Lu Beiting's disappointed mood instantly lifted. "Okay, I know. Have a safe trip."

Finally, the two watched Xia Zhi and Shen Hangzhi's retreating figures until they went inside, then turned back.

On the way, Zhang Yi looked at him with a solemn expression, "Battalion Commander, Wu Qiantu died to cover Li Baozhu's escape."

Lu Beiting asked coldly, "How is Brother Li?"

"I heard he was slightly injured, but it's nothing serious."

Lu Beiting's face darkened, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried about Xia Zhi.

"Don't worry, Battalion Commander. The route that Squad Leader Li and his men are taking is different from the route your wife and her family are taking to the city. They won't run into each other." Lu Beiting nodded calmly. "Let's go back and find the commander first."

Hao Liping learned that Xia Zhi had gone to the city from someone else, and the basket in her hand fell to the ground with a thud.

Why did Xia Zhi enter the city ahead of schedule?
In her previous life, she only moved to the city after taking the college entrance examination.

Hao Liping felt uneasy, fearing that she had come to the city to open a shop, since she had sold a thousand that day and had some capital in hand.

Thinking of this, Hao Liping sneered. Isn't it just making money by selling medicinal herbs?
She can too.

After being kicked out by Zhong Shannan that day, she wandered around and then encountered a suspicious-looking person. The person looked at the Ganoderma lucidum in her hand and eventually bought it at a high price.

She sold it for over a hundred yuan; the price they offered was much higher than what the large pharmacy paid.

She should go back up the mountain to search again in the coming days. By the time Xia Zhi returns, she might have already made a lot of money.

Hao Liping was filled with enthusiasm at the thought of this.

……

On the train, Xia Zhi looked out the window, feeling a little excited. This was her first time traveling so far from home.

"Don't be nervous," Shen Hangzhi said gently, looking at her.

"I'm not nervous, I'm just too excited," Xia Zhi chuckled.

Shen Hangzhi looked at her, hesitated for a few seconds, and then said, "Xia, I'd like to ask you for a favor."

Xia Zhi nodded repeatedly, "Sure, Dr. Shen, just tell me directly."

"I'd like you to take a look at my grandfather," Shen Hangzhi said, a helpless smile appearing on his lips.

He was also a doctor, but he was helpless to treat his grandfather's illness.

"No problem!" Xia Zhi's eyes lit up, and she agreed without thinking.

This is a really good thing that came to us.

She was just thinking about how to find patients after going to the city, when unexpectedly, they came to her doorstep.

“My grandfather has something growing in his brain and may need brain surgery, so I suggested taking him abroad.”

But he insisted he was too old to bother with all that, and didn't know how he was doing now.

Shen Hangzhi lowered his eyes, concealing the sorrow in them.

Xia Zhi patted her chest to comfort him, "It's alright, Dr. Shen, I will do my best to help Grandpa Shen with his medical treatment."

Shen Hangzhi nodded, and the two of them remained silent.

Xia Zhi got sleepy after sitting for a while, and only realized she was still in the car after she woke up.

It seems they won't arrive in the city until tomorrow.

That's really far.

Xia Zhi leaned back in her chair, looking at the carriage, at the sounds of children crying, some dialects she couldn't understand, and people walking back and forth getting hot water.

In the evening, Shen Hangzhi ordered two boxed meals.

"When you arrive tomorrow, just come to my house for a while. I'll have someone take you wherever you need to go."

Hearing Shen Hangzhi's words, Xia Zhi looked up in surprise and asked someone to escort her.

How rich must they be?

"You, is your family very rich?" Xia Zhi looked over curiously.

Shen Hangzhi looked up and smiled, "No, my family runs a small business."

Xia Zhi became even more curious upon hearing this. Shen Hang came from such a good family, why would he go to such a dangerous place as the border to become a doctor?

"Dr. Shen, why are you working at the border?"

Someone like him, working as a doctor in a big city, has a bright future ahead of him.
