Reborn in 1965, I can obtain resources just by sweeping the floor.

Seeing that Xuan Yuan Yingxue was handing him a round jade pendant carved from white jade, Su Chen hesitated for a moment before reaching out to take it.

"By the way, Comrade Xuanyuan, could you tell me what kind of organization you are, and what about these martial artists you mentioned?"

Seeing Su Chen casually put the jade pendant into his pocket, Xuan Yuan Yingxue wanted to remind him, but didn't know how to say it.

"Our department isn't some mysterious entity. We're a special operations team under the Investigation Department. We usually investigate and handle cases of martial artists disturbing civilians. Simply put, a martial artist is someone who practices martial arts. For example, you are a martial artist, but you haven't received professional training or have a formal master-disciple relationship. You can only be considered a wild martial artist."

"There really are martial arts masters in this world, just like in the stories, who can fly over rooftops and take the head of a general from a million-strong army."

Upon hearing Xuan Yuan Yingxue's explanation, Su Chen's eyes widened, revealing an expression of disbelief.

"That's for sure. There has always been such a group of people. Otherwise, why do you think the country would set up such a department? Just like the Embroidered Robe Envoy of the Han Dynasty, the Bad People of the Tang Dynasty, the Imperial City Guard of the Song Dynasty, the Embroidered Uniform Guard of the Ming Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty... These were all to check and balance those so-called Jianghu people. It's just that now that we have firearms, martial artists don't seem so powerful anymore."

"But martial artists are also a force to be reckoned with; anyone who underestimates them will pay a heavy price..."

"Besides martial artists, there are also warriors in this world who can mutate, like those in the Fifth Squad..."

……

Xuan Yuan Yingxue's explanation sent a chill down Su Chen's spine. He had thought that he could rest easy now that he possessed several times the strength of an ordinary person, but it turned out that there were even more powerful martial artists in the world.

Of course, the White Bear Empire's method of transforming warriors into beasts is also very powerful. If it weren't for the energy ball in their dantian playing its role this time, this group of people would probably be dead.

Several days passed in the blink of an eye, and Su Chen's body had fully recovered. After waiting for a few more days, he successfully removed the bullet from Li Jinshan's lumbar spine.

"Haha! Dr. Su, we owe you a lot this time. You must come to the military region when you have time in the future. I want to thank you properly."

Li Jinshan was completely out of danger, and Xuan Yuanchen was overjoyed, holding Su Chen's hand for a long time, reluctant to let go.

"Um, Dr. Su, do you still have the medicine you gave me? If so, could you give me two more pills? I don't feel fully recovered yet."

After Su Chen woke up, he saw that Zhuge Qingyun's internal organs were seriously injured, so he gave him a few hawthorn pills. After Zhuge Qingyun finished eating them, he started to think about them. When he heard that Su Chen was about to leave, he didn't care about being reserved anymore and came to Su Chen with a smirk.

"Don't worry, I won't take your things for nothing. This is a secret manual I found in a Taoist temple when we were fighting the Japanese. It contains the methods for practicing internal martial arts. I hope that one day you can surpass us..."

As they spoke, Zhuge Qingyun took out a slightly worn book from his pocket. Judging from the yellowed pages, the book must have been quite old.

Although the system rewarded me with an internal martial arts manual a few days ago, who would complain about having too many good things?

"Director Zhuge, you're too kind. It's just some pills. Although these pills require dozens of precious medicinal herbs to make and are not easy to produce, since you've asked, I must give you a few."

He took out a few hawthorn pills from the medicine box and handed them to Zhuge Qingyun, then took the yellowed book from his hand.

"Um, Dr. Su, you see, my niece Xiaoxue and you have a good relationship. Let me tell you, my niece is quite capable, both in public and in the kitchen. These past few days I've been feeling really unwell, you see..."

Xuan Yuan Chen was also very envious of the hawthorn pills that had miraculous effects. Seeing that Zhuge Qingyun had obtained a few, he shamelessly came over as well.

"Uncle, when did you become like this..."

Hearing that her uncle was going to sell her off for a few hawthorn pills, Xuanyuan Yingxue glared at him resentfully, then ran away with a red face.

In the end, Su Chen did not disappoint Xuan Yuan Chen and handed him a few hawthorn pills.

"Dr. Su, I've arranged your sleeper compartment. Here's your ticket, along with some food and drinks. Take them with you. Oh, and these receipts and the money are your allowance."

After refusing Xuan Yuanchen's offer to have soldiers escort him back, Su Chen boarded the train bound for Songshan County alone.

Once the train had slowly left the station, Xuan Yuanchen and the others turned and walked out of the station.

"Director Zhuge, do you want to take these hawthorn pills back for testing?"

After everyone got into the car, Xuan Yuan Chen looked at the hawthorn pills in his hand and asked a question in a low voice.

"Indeed, this drug is very effective. If it can be mass-produced, it will be of great significance to us. Of course, if the cost is too high, then it's another matter."

"Uncle, why does the director have to go through all this trouble? He can just ask Dr. Su for the prescription and he'll know the answer right away."

Listening to her uncle's conversation with Zhuge Qingyun, Xuanyuan Yingxue, who was driving in front, chimed in.

"No! If he voluntarily hands it over to the country, then there's no problem. But we can't ask for it. What's the difference between that and being a bandit? The reason a recipe is called a recipe is because it's a secret that belongs exclusively to him. You don't need to get involved in this matter. I'll report this to President Zhou when we get back, and then we'll see what President Zhou decides."

Zhuge Qingyun waved his hand, his mind filled with thoughts of Su Chen. He was determined to investigate this young man thoroughly when he got back.

After resting at the guesthouse for one night, Su Chen took a bus back to Kaoshantun early the next morning.

"Brother! Brother, you're finally back! We've all missed you."

Upon seeing Su Chen push open the door and walk in, Su Nianchen and Su Muchen, who were playing games in the yard, immediately ran and pounced on Su Chen.

"This was bought for you. Where are your sister Yaoyao and sister Xiaolan? Why are you all alone at home?"

Seeing that Bai Peiyao and the others were not around, Su Chen casually asked a question while taking out candies and pastries from his schoolbag.

"I know, I know. All three older sisters went to the back mountain to collect firewood today. We wanted to go with them, but Sister Yaoyao wouldn't let us. She told us to stay home and watch the door."

As the weather gets colder day by day, people have begun preparing firewood for the winter.

"Alright, take these candies and go play with Da Niu and the others. Remember to share these candies with them. Good friends should know how to share, understand?"

Seeing the two little girls transform from being reserved and self-conscious at the beginning to being cheerful and lively now, Su Chen felt very happy.

“We know. By the way, my uncle and aunt came looking for you these past few days, but they went back when they heard you weren’t there.”

The two girls put the candy into their pockets and ran a few steps before stopping again, looking timidly at Su Chen and saying something.

"Oh! What are they doing here? Did they bully you? If they dare to bully you, tell your brother, and your brother will help you get revenge."

"No... they didn't bully us. They didn't say what they wanted to do. They left when they heard you weren't home. Brother, let's go play."

With a smile and a wave of his hand, Su Chen frowned slightly after the two girls left. Although he didn't know why Lin Lao Er and the others had come to find him, he had a feeling it wasn't anything good.

After putting his things in his room, Su Chen carried two bottles of wine, a large bag of steamed rice cakes, and peach crisps to the village chief Yang Dazhuang's house.

"Xiao Su, you're back! You just said you'd come, why did you bring so much stuff? Lao Yang, Lao Yang, come out quickly, Xiao Su is here."

As soon as I entered, I saw Yang Dazhuang's wife tidying up firewood in the yard.

"Auntie, I didn't buy these. I went out to treat patients a while ago, and they gave them to me. We can't finish them all, so I brought some over for the kids to have a little treat."

"Xiao Su, you're finally back. It's perfect timing, don't leave again at noon. Ask your aunt to make a couple of dishes, and we'll have a drink together. There's something I'd like to discuss with you."
