RNP Chapter 211 Two Faces Before and After
Chapter 211 Two Faces Before and After
In the fourth month of his stay in the clinic, after a series of tedious examinations, Su Ping was finally able to go home and live peacefully.
Before this, Su Ping also went to bed early on July 15th, but there was no reunion or gossip as he had imagined, and he saw nothing at all.
Afterwards, he also learned that after he fainted that day, the Yunlai naval officers rescued him and tried their best to keep him alive until they, together with the troops coming from the headquarters to support him, destroyed the monster, and only then did they have a chance to provide effective treatment.
The many military doctors who treated him that day could only sigh at his tenacious life. He was able to hold on even with wounds all over his body. It is true that what matters most when one's life is in danger is his willpower.
Although he said so, Su Ping knew it was because of his master. After all, he had a very accurate grasp of his own endurance level. It should be impossible for him to survive such an injury.
Today in Lisha Suburb, the battlefield has long been cleaned up, and the bodies of monsters and soldiers have been dug and buried underground. This is currently the quickest way.
Because the bodies of the soldiers who died on the battlefield were either impossible to find or broken into several pieces. There were no completely preserved bones at all. Besides, it would be an extremely huge task to find them all.
Therefore, every time this happens, the Qianyan Army, in addition to the necessary pensions and banners for the martyrs' families, will also distribute an extra set of military uniforms to be placed in the coffin as part of the martyrs' cenotaph.
Commercial street, inside a grocery store.
A big banquet was held that day. I don't know why no one from the regular residents attended, but Aunt Zhang, Xiao Cui and Shou Nuo were all there. The room was full of people and it was quite lively.
After having a good meal and tea, Shounuo took the young man to the backyard, saying that he wanted to explain some important military matters. The girls understood its importance and no one bothered them.
In the small courtyard, Shounuo looked at the young man and spoke first, "Today is September 8th. You have been lying in bed for a total of four months. The commander said that because of your hard work, he will give you the salary for working in Qianyan Office for these four months, as well as the reward for killing the enemy on the battlefield...
The commander-in-chief has given you five million Mora, plus a medal that will be delivered to you later, and three days of leave without approval, which you can use as you please!"
Su Ping nodded and said, "Your Excellency the Commander is really generous, but why did you choose Brother Shounuo to give the reward, and why did you choose this time?"
Shou Nuo said slowly: "Because I am the only one who was your superior for a period of time, and it is not good to receive rewards in the clinic, so we have to solve it today."
Su Ping hesitated for a moment and whispered, "I failed to bring Yanchuan back."
Shounuo sighed softly, "I've heard it before in the clinic. There's no need to say too much. There will always be people dying in wars. It's unavoidable!"
Su Ping paused and asked, "When can I resume my job?"
Shou Nuo said calmly, "This is what I want to inform you today. The commander-in-chief has personally ordered that you rest for another month before you can resume your duties. However, you will still receive your military pay."
Su Ping thought for a moment and asked doubtfully, "The commander's order is really too lenient. No matter what, it shouldn't take five consecutive months to rest, right?"
"It's the same for all. The surviving soldiers who retreated from other battlefields all received the same treatment. The commander has always been understanding of the difficulties of the low-level soldiers, so he is very tolerant towards the soldiers who have made meritorious services!" Shounuo said, his thoughts drifting away.
At that time, there was a young boy of Su Ping's age who made a name for himself in the recruit camp just to see the commander more often.
Unexpectedly, the latter burst into laughter after hearing this, and said that it was not easy to find him, and he could see him immediately by just breaking into a place he shouldn't enter.
It was also from then on that the boy knew that the Qianyan Army was not only composed of strong men, but also had a humorous side that made people yearn for them.
While the young man was reminiscing, Su Ping thought about what to do next, then he opened up and began to ask about some family matters.
"Brother Shounuo, how are you and Sister Xiaocui doing?"
Shounuo was startled by the sudden words. He coughed twice, but straightened his back and stammered, "This... that... let's just leave it like that."
"What?" Su Ping asked. He finally understood the fun of asking this question. It was really endless and interesting.
Shounuo scratched his cheek and could only speak vaguely, "Anyway, it won't be that fast. It's still a long way before you can be called brother-in-law!"
Su Ping said, as if he was going to get to the bottom of it, and then asked, "When exactly is it? I can arrange my shift and come back by then, so I won't miss it."
Shou Nuo held his forehead and said, "After being away for a few months, you have become a veteran soldier. Don't ask me about this!"
Su Ping smiled and waved his hand, saying, "It's okay. I'll go ask Sister Xiao Cui. She will tell me when the time comes. But as to the extent and whether it is the same as what others think, I'm not sure!"
"Well, you, now you know how to threaten people and learn all kinds of evil things!" Shounuo looked disappointed, but helpless. The two expressions were obviously unrelated, but they appeared on the same face.
Su Ping said calmly: "People always have to grow up. Sometimes you can't be too obedient to get what you want, just like now, Brother Shounuo, do you want to tell me?"
Shounuo gritted his teeth and came up with this idea, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's really because your sister doesn't allow me to tell you, and I won't go against her wishes!"
Su Ping closed his eyes slightly, "Is that true?"
Shounuo looked nonchalant and waved his hand, "Go ahead and ask."
Su Ping grinned and then shouted, "Sister Xiao Cui, Brother Shounuo said he wants to ask you out tonight, but he is embarrassed to ask you, so he wants me to tell you and ask what you are willing to do!"
Shounuo was stunned in place for a moment, then reacted a moment later, grabbed the boy's arm, and whispered: "What are you talking about, when did I..."
Su Ping narrowed his eyes and laughed, "I'm helping you. Show your masculinity, brother-in-law!"
Shounuo didn't grab the boy anymore after hearing this name, which he heard for the first time. Instead, he turned around and ran to the shop to discuss tonight's itinerary with the girl in his heart.
Su Ping, who did good deeds without asking for anything in return, went straight into his room because he had not yet dealt with the things that had been sent back.
Inside the cabin, there were piles of things on the table, including family letters, property, and a dim glass ball placed on a thick stack of banknotes.
Su Ping sorted these things and took out a small box. He put the money entrusted to him for safekeeping, along with the dim glass ball, inside the box, away from the sunlight.
"Are you in such a hurry to clean up? Why don't you ask me to join you?" Ningguang came uninvited, but it couldn't really be said that she was the landlord of this house, because she was still the landlord of this house.
Su Ping suddenly turned around and looked at the woman, pleading, "Sister Ningguang, can I ask you for a favor?"
Ningguang rarely saw him show such an expression, so she said without hesitation: "You tell me, I will do my best."
The woman answered firmly. Su Ping suddenly felt a little embarrassed. His eyes flickered as he said, "Can we not use this box of Mora and the Eye of God unless it is the most critical moment?"
The boy's clear eyes were filled with questions he had never had before, just like a child who was not suitable for his age, doing things that were obviously much younger than his age, which was a bit awkward.
Ningguang looked at him and nodded, "Of course, but you specifically asked me to do this. Are you worried that I will just auction the Eye of God?"
Su Ping shook his head. "No, I just need a confirmation from Sister Ningguang herself."
"You want to hear it?"
"I want to listen. I really want to listen."
Ningguang smiled and said slowly: "Forget it, it's good that you are worried about this. It means that you have recovered well and your mind is not empty."
Su Ping looked apologetic and said nothing.
Ning Guangxiu waved her hand and said, "There's no need for this. There's no need for anything between us, including what you might be thinking about, like giving me all your Mora. There's no need for that at all!"
Su Ping looked at her and said, "Sister Ningguang is very generous. Please keep this Mora that I will use for future business emergencies."
Ningguang shook her head slightly. "Really, you don't need to. You should at least leave yourself a way out."
Su Ping's eyes flashed, and he smiled faintly: "No need, I think there is no turning back on this road, so there is no need!"
Ningguang moved closer, her eyebrows softened, her eyes full of charm, "Little brother, your eloquence has improved recently."
Su Ping looked at the face that he thought was stunning, and spoke with clear eyes, "It's actually not bad, but I originally thought it was unnecessary, and I was always outshined by Sister Ningguang, so I didn't say much."
Ningguang looked curious, "What about now?"
Su Ping explained: "Now I find that I really have to say it. It's just like what Nan Zhangsheng strongly recommended to me to read. It's his last work. It makes a lot of sense."
"Tell me."
“With those who are close to you, you must not speak in anger, you must not complain, and you must not be silent.”
"There is some truth to this. This is the only way to live a good life and not be deserted by friends and relatives because of a quarrel."
"He made all these reasons out of something that didn't make sense in the first place. I don't know whether to say it makes sense or not!"
"Mr. Su, do you want to discuss the Dao with me?"
"No, no, I just said whatever came to my mind. Don't mind it, Sister Ningguang!"
"Just call me sister and I won't mind."
"When did you develop this habit?"
"This word is really harsh..."
"No, it's just that since I was a child, the women I met were all older than me, so there's a "也" in the name, not for any other reason!"
"Haha, then don't get excited. Tell me in detail all the interesting things that happened during your childhood. Don't miss a single word or a single thing. Do you understand?"
"Yes……"
"You forgot already?"
"Sister...sister."
Su Ping shouted out this name with all his might, and his back teeth were almost broken. But for some reason, he still felt a sense of aftertaste afterwards.
And Ningguang, the instigator, really enjoyed this title, as if at this moment, the boy was her own unique existence, a boy who belonged to her alone, and had nothing to do with anyone else.
