Xiao Changyou had made up his mind this ti. Li Xia neither stopped him nor helped. Everything depended on Qiu Ling's choice.
Qiu Chan was quite happy. To get Qiu Chan to put in a good word for him, Xiao Changyou bought many delicious treats for her when they arrived. On Qiu Ling's instructions, Qiu Chan accepted the food but didn't say a single nice word.
However, Xiao Changyou soon had no ti, as Lu XuanNing gave him an important task.
In a dream, Lu XuanNing saw Li Xia suggesting that military dics should no longer go to the battlefield, and that brave and ticulous soldiers should learn basic nursing knowledge to care for patients. This would free up doctors' ti to treat more critically ill patients.
After waking up, Lu XuanNing imdiately arranged for people to implent this idea. But it would take ti to train nursing staff capable of handling large numbers of casualties on the battlefield.
In the past few years, they had only trained less than 20 people, and now with the war, they needed more nursing staff and doctors. Lu XuanNing discussed this matter with Xiao Changyou and Li Xia.
Li Xia hadn't expected Lu XuanNing to have such ideas. This wasn't the nursing knowledge from the apocalyptic world.
Xiao Changyou liked Lu XuanNing's proposal. However, training people who knew nothing about this would take a long ti. Xiao Changyou suggested recruiting apprentices from dical clinics. They had learned quite a bit of dical knowledge from following doctors and could start working after simple training.
The army couldn't delay, so Lu XuanNing entrusted this task to Xiao Changyou. Xiao Changyou promised to do it well. After Xiao Changyou left, Lu XuanNing still faced away from Li Xia, not daring to speak.
"Have you thought about what to say?" Li Xia walked in front of Lu XuanNing, staring into his eyes.
Lu XuanNing looked at Li Xia, "I didn't an to hide this from you. Sit down and let explain in detail." Lu XuanNing helped Li Xia sit down and told her everything he had dread while lying unconscious in bed.
The past life Lu XuanNing described was very similar to the one Li Yao had ntioned. Combining the two, it could be confird that the Li Xia from their past lives was indeed herself.
"You've kept this secret for quite a while," Li Xia snorted lightly.
Seeing that Li Xia didn't doubt his words, Lu XuanNing felt slightly relieved. "Xia Xia, this is the last thing I've hidden from you. There's nothing else I'm keeping from you."
"You've said that before," Li Xia was skeptical of Lu XuanNing's words.
"Xia Xia, this is the last ti, I promise." Lu XuanNing held Li Xia's hand tightly, expressing his sincerity.
"In your dream, I also went to sea?" She had supposedly gone out to sea voluntarily, saying she was looking for exotic items. But this clearly didn't fit Li Xia's lazy personality.
"Also? Xia Xia, who else said that?" Lu XuanNing quickly noticed the slip in Li Xia's words.
"Guess?" Li Xia didn't say directly, letting Lu XuanNing guess.
Lu XuanNing imdiately thought of the unsuccessful Li Yao in his dream, clearly different from the current Li Yao who had beco a scholar at nine years old.
"Li family's fourth son?"
"It seems Li Yao was really stupid in his past life," Li Xia laughed.
Lu XuanNing had a guess about Li Xia's departure to sea. "Xia Xia, regarding your sea voyage, I think you might have known your days were numbered. That's why you left."
Li Xia had the sa guess. In their past lives, she was apparently a female war god who had fought countless battles. Her body surely couldn't withstand it. Would it be better to die by exploding in front of everyone, letting people speculate too much about divine punishnt? Or leave a mystery for everyone, deterring those who wanted to go against the Li and Lu families? The answer was obvious without thinking.
Thinking of this, Lu XuanNing reached out and held Li Xia tightly. He was very afraid Li Xia would disappear before him. "Xia Xia, promise you'll live a long, long life."
"Wouldn't that make an old monster?" Li Xia's words made Lu XuanNing laugh. Li Xia always had a way to cheer Lu XuanNing up.
Controlling his emotions, Lu XuanNing discussed with Li Xia, "Xia Xia, I'll leave a troop for Xiao Changyou to recruit apprentices. You go with them slowly. Don't rush on the road." Lu XuanNing didn't want Li Xia to be too tired.
Knowing Lu XuanNing didn't want her to exhaust herself, Li Xia agreed. She also had so plans she wanted to implent.
The next day, Lu XuanNing left a troop to assist Xiao Changyou in recruiting apprentices and to protect Li Xia.
Slowing down their pace, Li Xia decided to spend so ti digging for dicinal herbs in the mountains. Xiao Changyou supported Li Xia's decision.
Li Xia brought back many precious dicinal materials. Xiao Changyou was very satisfied with what Li Xia brought back. They had brought plenty of common herbs, but these precious dicinal materials were hard to find.
Zhou Heng also caught up with them on the third day they stopped at a mountain range. Li Xia had written to Zhou Heng asking him to co to the border. With Zhou Heng there, they collected even more precious dicinal materials.
Zhou Heng also improved Li Xia's prescription.
Li Xia frowned in disgust as she swallowed the pill. The effect was good, but it was too bitter. Qiu Ling offered her a sour plum candy to change the taste.
"It contains snake gall, it won't work if it's not bitter," Li Xia felt Zhou Heng was doing this on purpose. She ate two sour plum candies before the taste was suppressed.
Zhou Heng was indeed doing it on purpose. Li Xia was disobedient, going into the mountains every day, clearly not caring about her body. He didn't need to find a way to make the pills sweet.
"Co and look at the training plan I've drafted," Xiao Changyou interrupted their conversation. Xiao Changyou had spent a lot of money recruiting so apprentices from dical clinics.
Xiao Changyou planned to first buy a batch of chickens, ducks, and rabbits, letting them handle these to get used to the bloody scenes. Then gradually increase to humans.
Zhou Heng wasn't satisfied; this pace was too slow. No need for gradual progress, they should start with real situations directly.
"Where can we find people for them to bandage?" This was also why Xiao Changyou chose small animals.
"That's simple," Zhou Heng looked towards the troops.
"No way," Xiao Changyou imdiately stopped Zhou Heng. How could they injure soldiers for them to practice on?
"Qiu Ling, didn't you ntion there's a group of bandits in the mountains ahead?" Li Xia asked Qiu Ling beside her.
"My lady, there's a nest of very fierce bandits on the small Feng Mountain ahead. They've killed passing travelers," Qiu Ling answered promptly.
"Capturing bandits for them to practice on is a good thod," Xiao Changyou agreed, but how to capture the bandits?
"I'll lead a team to capture them," Zhou Heng said as he walked towards the squad leader to explain his idea. The squad leader's surna was Jiang, given na Chong.
After hearing this, Jiang Chong divided the squad into two halves, one to protect Li Xia, and the other to follow him to small Feng Mountain.
Li Xia asked Qiu Chan to lead a small team to hunt so wild ga to reward the squad when they returned from fighting the bandits. Qiu Chan, carrying the large bow specially made for her by Li Xia, excitedly led the small team away.
Xiao Changyou continued to train the recruited apprentices, teaching them as much knowledge as possible. These people were willing to follow Xiao Changyou, firstly because he paid well, secondly because they couldn't learn much at their original clinics, and thirdly because they wanted to see the world. Young people are naturally bold and curious.
Hearing that the squad was going to capture bandits, these apprentices beca very excited. Seeing this, Xiao Changyou took them to gather dicinal herbs, as they weren't focusing on their studies.
In the camp, apart from the cooks, only Li Xia and Qiu Ling remained. Li Xia noticed Qiu Ling staring in the direction Xiao Changyou had left.
"Have you decided?"
Qiu Ling turned back, looking at Li Xia sowhat embarrassedly, "Miss, I've decided to be with him."
