Chapter 1179: Retreat
Chapter 1179: Retreat
In the end, they weren’t able to preserve this front. The higher-ups had already sent down an order to retreat. The commander sighed and gave the order to retreat, then the army quickly retreated.
This piece of land has fallen into enemy hands.
The morale of the troops was low as they retreated with the wounded. The faces of the soldiers were covered with dust, and their gazes were numb and exhausted.
Ning Shu carried her medicine chest on her back as she walked with the army. This way, it was more convenient to tend to the wounded whenever they needed treatment.
Xiao Tong was following Ning Shu and was completely out of breath. Ning Shu told her to get in the truck but Xiao Tong shook her head. She looked a little scared as she said, “Master, I don’t know where to go?”
On the battlefield, Xiao Tong was able to feel her value and was able to follow her master around and save people, but now they were retreating. She didn’t know where to go. Now that they were returning to society, Xiao Tong once again recalled how she had been defiled. She was scared that she would be laughed at and despised.
Ning Shu thought for a moment, then said, “Why don’t you come with me? You can become a military doctor.” This war of aggression would last for a long time, and military doctors were in short supply.
After she left, Zhu Suniang and Xiao Tong would make good partners.
“Thank you, Master.” Xiao Tong looked relieved.
“Doctor Zhu, a soldier in front keeps saying his leg hurts and wants you to go and take a look at him.” A soldier ran over to Ning Shu.
“Alright.” Ning Shu went over with the medicine chest. Xiao Tong was about to follow Ning Shu, but Ning Shu said, “You don’t need to follow me. You should get in the car.”
Ning Shu could handle this because she had practiced the Unsurpassable Martial Arts and had a strong physique, but Xiao Tong was just a weak girl. There was no way she could compare with her.
“Master, I can do it.” Xiao Tong gritted her teeth with a resolute expression. When Ning Shu saw her like this, she allowed her to just follow.
The person who kept saying that his leg hurt was Zhu Yanqiu. He was lying on a stretcher that two soldiers were carrying.
“What kind of pain is it?” Ning Shu set down the chest as she asked Zhu Yanqiu this. She untied the sticks and bandage on his leg and saw that there was slight inflammation.
Ning Shu took fresh herbs and put them in her mouth to chew them before applying them on the wound. Zhu Yanqiu stared at Ning Shu blankly. As he watched her meticulously handle his wound, he asked, ” Zhu Suniang, when did you learn this?”
Ning Shu tied the gauze in a knot and said coldly, “From someone.”
Zhu Yanqiu’s expression was hesitant, then he looked at his leg and asked, “Will my leg be ok?”
“I don’t know. You won’t be able to find out until you get to the hospital. Don’t move it around.” Ning Shu looked at Zhu Yanqiu’s leg. It would probably leave a lasting trauma. After all, he had injured the bone.
Zhu Yanqiu’s expression was defeated and uneasy. It was clear that he was also aware of the state of his injury, he was only asking Ning Shu for confirmation again and again so that he could feel at ease.
He had gritted his teeth and headed to the battlefield, but unexpectedly, during a bayonet charge, an enemy had cut his leg. At that time, he spent a great deal of effort to force the enemy to the ground, but in the end, the enemy had hacked at his leg from the ground.
Zhu Yanqiu hadn’t gone through military training so he was naturally a beat slow upon encountering this kind of situation. Unlike in the original storyline, he hadn’t slowly gained experience on the battlefield.
The more eager you were for success, the more you desired quick success and instant profit, the more easily accidents occurred.
Zhu Yanqiu was also regretting things.
Ning Shu looked around but she didn’t see Fang Feifei. The army was now retreating, so Fang Feifei, this war reporter, should also be retreating with the army. How come she didn’t see her?
Especially now that Zhu Yanqiu was injured? He had already been injured for this long.
Could it be that they actually broke up?!
Ning Shu couldn’t be bothered to care about what was going on between these two, but love was seriously fragile. It was so easy for it to come to a premature end due to various reasons.
However, still, not everything should make way for love. True love couldn’t serve as a reason.
When Ning Shu once again returned to the bustling Shanghai, she suddenly felt like things had been a lifetime ago. It’s been a long time since she had seen such a peaceful atmosphere.
