"What kind of mission is it? Why is there a risk of life?"

Xia Wanwan asked doubtfully.

"There's a giant snake living in the azalea forest in the mountains five kilometers away. If you can capture and subdue it, your mission will be accomplished."

The system's voice gradually became quieter as it spoke, but it still worriedly advised, "Or, maybe you should just not take this mission!"

That big snake is not something that ordinary humans can kill.

With her bulky body, she would just be a snack for the big snake if she went there.

Xia Wanwan rolled her eyes excitedly, thought carefully, and then agreed immediately, "As the saying goes, 'You can't get a tiger cub without risking it.' I'll take this mission. It's just a snake, but since it can scare animals within a radius of 20 miles, it must be a large and venomous snake. After all, no matter how powerful it is, it's still a snake, and it's nothing compared to humans. I'll find a suitable opportunity tonight and sneak into the azalea forest at night."

Most importantly, during this season, the mountains are often shrouded in mist and rain is a common occurrence. The azalea forest also produces mushrooms, so after completing my quest tonight, I can also pick up a bunch of mushrooms. It's the best of both worlds.

Thinking of the delicious mushrooms, Xia Wanwan couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

When the system heard this, the corners of its mouth twitched fiercely. Did she know how big the snake was?

"What are you thinking about, walk home."

After Gu Huaijin and Wu Yonggui chatted for a while, they were about to go home, but saw Xia Wanwan standing beside them swallowing her saliva.

"Nothing, let's go home!"

Xia Wanwan immediately came back to her senses and said with a serious expression.

Gu Huaijin bowed to Wu Yonggui and his wife, then chased after them.

"Husband! This skin..."

Li Cuifang didn't give the things away and felt a little sad.

"It's okay, keep it! We'll send some more when we have something good. You rest well at home, I'm going to work in the mountains."

Wu Yonggui picked up the hoe and went up the mountain.

On the way back, Xia Wanwan kept thinking about how to go out at night. She and Gu Huaijin are now husband and wife, and they will definitely sleep in the same bed at night.

But he was not a fool. As a former soldier, he was very alert. If she turned over with a little noise, he would be woken up.

Or, knock him out?

But I don’t have any drugs now!

By the way, you can use the excuse of picking mushrooms to tell him directly in person!

Anyway, when I pick up the mushrooms, my family will see them and ask what happened, so I might as well use this as a sufficient excuse.

"I have something to tell you."

"I have something to tell you."

Just as Xia Wanwan looked at Gu Huaijin and was about to talk about this, he turned to look at her and said the same thing.

"You speak first."

"You speak first."

Neither of them knew that they would say the same thing at the same time.

As a result, he said the same thing again when he was being humble, and signaled the other party to speak first.

"You said."

Seeing that the two of them were talking at the same time, Xia Wanwan motioned for him to speak first.

Gu Huaijin pursed his lips, lowered his eyes and stared at her with a slight flicker in his eyes, then opened his thin lips and said, "I have something to do tonight, so I may be back very late. You and the children should go to bed first."

He must investigate what happened in the mountains and must not allow anything to threaten the lives of the villagers and their families.

"Where are you going? Are you going to have dinner at home?"

When Xia Wanwan heard that he was going out at night, she asked with a little surprise.

Could it be that he, like her, also went up the mountain to check the situation?

Gu Huaijin didn't expect her to suddenly ask about where he had been. Muran paused, then explained, "I came back with a wounded man from Linshui Village. He was seriously injured and I'm afraid he'll be unable to get out of bed for the rest of his life. He was seriously injured because he was trying to save me, so I had to go see him."

Although he made up excuses, he didn't tell a single lie. He really wanted to go and see the subordinate who was seriously injured while saving him.

"Where is he hurt?"

When Xia Wanwan heard this, she immediately asked what was going on.

"It's the neck."

Gu Huaijin rolled his Adam's apple and said in a deep voice, "On the battlefield, someone attacked me from behind. He pushed me away, which led to the enemy slashing his neck. Although his life was saved, I don't know why. Even after the injury healed, he still couldn't stand up."

Xia Wanwan reviewed her knowledge about nerve damage and lower body paralysis in her mind, and then continued to inquire about the situation. "Is his current condition, other than his eyeballs being able to move, he has no feeling in his lower body?"

If that's the case, it must be a nerve injury.

It is almost impossible to recover.

But in the 22nd century, her grandmother was the number one doctor in China, and she had been learning Chinese medicine and acupuncture points from her grandmother since she was a child, and later went to medical school.

It's easy to heal.

"how do you know?"

Gu Huaijin looked at her with a look of sudden surprise.

"Didn't I tell you that I now know medical skills?"

Xia Wanwan pointed to her head.

Only then did Gu Huaijin remember that she had mentioned before that she would have medical skills after being injured, and that she had just saved Aunt Li.

But how can a person know everything after waking up from an injury?

And she seems to know everything, as if she can do everything. She can use strange fruits as spices and make smelly fish into delicious food. Now she has added medical skills.

Is she really still the same Xia Wanwan?

Gu Huaijin once again fell into deep doubt in his heart, but when he heard what Xia Wanwan said next, his heart trembled violently.

"If it's really the reactions described above, then the person who saved you must have injured the cervical nerves, which is why you're paralyzed from the head down. Treatment isn't too difficult. Just give me a set of silver needles, and you'll be able to get out of bed and move around in about two weeks. If the situation is more serious and complicated, it might take about a month."

Xia Wanwan had never seen the extent of the injuries sustained by the injured person, so she did not dare to underestimate him and boast that he could be completely healed in half a month.

"You mean, he... he can still be saved? Can he be restored to normal?"

Gu Huaijin looked excited and asked about the details eagerly.

"Of course, but whether he can recover to be like a normal person is hard to say. I have to look at the specific situation carefully."

Xia Wanwan saw that his hands were shaking with excitement, which showed how much he hoped his savior would get better.

Since he is Gu Huaijin's savior, he is also the savior of their Gu family. She will naturally do her best to treat him.

Putting aside the fact that he was her savior, she couldn't remain indifferent just because of his identity as a soldier defending her country.
