Chapter 390 My existence is another layer of protection for your lives!
Qiao Manman: "...When it comes to ruthlessness, you're the one!"
The system changed the subject: "Host, would you like to make some burn ointment and scar removal cream for later use?"
"Absolutely! Even if Lu Yuan doesn't go to the Northwest, we still have to provide supplies for the folks who are fighting the fire!"
He went into the space and started preparing the plaster.
She's done this many times before and is quite skilled at it.
We used some common medicinal herbs obtained from daily check-ins and some premium medicinal herbs grown in the space to maximize the efficacy while ensuring cost control.
She got so busy that she forgot about time. It wasn't until the system reminded her that Lu Yuan had returned that Qiao Manman finally emerged from the spatial dimension.
"Honey, I have to go on a mission!"
Lu Yuan looked at Qiao Manman with reluctance: "The wildfire in the Northwest is getting bigger and bigger, and has spread to the border of two provinces. If it is not put out soon, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"The problem is, you don't have protective suits, fireproof masks, enough fire extinguishers, or firefighting aircraft at all!"
"If we don't have enough equipment, we'll call in more people. With everyone working together, we'll definitely put out the fire! I'm sorry I can't spend the holiday with you!"
Qiao Manman rolled her eyes: "Am I that kind of petty person? I just feel that you guys won't be of much use, and I'm worried that you'll get hurt!"
When are you leaving? I'll go ask Commander He if he can give me a ride.
Although I can't go up the mountain, I've at least learned some medical skills and am good at treating burns and scalds!
"Honey, are you serious?"
“Yes! If Commander He agrees, we'll go openly and honestly. If he refuses, we'll use talismans.”
Trust me, things will be completely different with me around!
Lu Yuan knew, of course, how different his wife was, but he didn't want her to take any risks.
Seeing the determination in her eyes, he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go ask with you!"
No need to pack, there's everything at home, just grab it and go.
Qiao Manman put a lot of wound medicine into the suitcase and asked Lu Yuan to carry it.
When asked by the women in the family compound, she smiled and said nothing.
When they arrived at Commander He's office, they were met with strong opposition before they could even finish speaking.
"What are you, a woman, doing getting involved? Isn't it chaotic enough over there already?"
Qiao Manman countered, "If abilities are divided into male and female, why would the military need female soldiers, research institutes recruit female researchers, and hospitals recruit female doctors?"
You can say I'm causing trouble, but you can't judge me based on my gender.
Yes, I can't go into the mountains to put out the fire, but I have burn ointment and scar removal cream, so I can treat the injured in time!
"Sir, many of Lu Yuan's comrades should be among those going to provide support this time. With me here, their lives are more secure!"
"There's a medical team over there, they don't need you. Your value lies in scientific research. If all else fails, ask your grandfather to come with the team!"
"My grandfather is old and can't take any hard work."
Leader, please think it over carefully. If I go, we can prioritize treating our soldiers.
As long as you don't die on the spot, I can pull you back to life!
Qiao Manman's fingertips twitched slightly, thinking that if Commander He refused, she would use the puppet talisman on him.
To everyone's surprise, after thinking it over, he asked Lu Yuan, "You support her doing such a dangerous thing?"
Lu Yuan paused for two seconds and nodded: "Comrade Qiao Manman was careless. At this moment, she is not only my wife, but also a warrior of China. I am proud of her!"
"In that case, I won't stop you. Be careful!"
After saying that, he looked at Lu Yuan and said, "She is a soldier, but more importantly, she is your wife. Protect her within reasonable limits!"
"I understand, sir!" Lu Yuan saluted Brigade Commander He. "Then let's set off!"
Brigade Commander He nodded, and in the instant they turned away, he called Huo Wangshu: "Old Huo, I need to tell you something..."
At first, Huo Wangshu was sitting with his legs crossed, leisurely listening to the phone call.
When he heard what Brigade Commander He said, he almost fell off his chair.
She jumped up, leaned forward at a 45-degree angle on the desk, her eyes blazing: "Hey, what did you say? You sent Qiao Manman to the Northwest?"
"Is your unit short of men? Sending a girl to the front lines? I think you've lost your mind..."
After rambling on for two minutes, he asked, "Where is he? Stop him right now!"
"They left by plane, they're probably already on their way!"
"You, you bastard!" After saying that, he hung up the phone, told someone to prepare the car, and rushed towards the tarmac.
Hearing the dial tone, Brigade Commander He nervously touched his nose.
He thought it would be best if he could catch up, but if he couldn't, he had at least fulfilled his obligation to notify them.
Qiao Manman came out of the building and asked Lu Yuan, "How do we get there?"
"Let's take a plane!" Lu Yuan said, glancing at her. "Have you ever flown before?"
"Yes, I've flown. Planes are so fast. When we want to go somewhere, our first choice is either a plane or a high-speed train. It only takes one or two hours to get there."
Lu Yuan chuckled: "The one you're sitting in this time might be a little different from what you imagined!"
"Hmm? What's different?"
Qiao Manman's curiosity was piqued, and she walked with a bouncy gait, showing no sign of the gravity of facing danger.
"You'll see when you get there!" Lu Yuan pulled her wrist, reminding her, "Be steady, don't let them find fault with you!"
Qiao Manman immediately adopted a preoccupied expression and asked, "Is Chen Junyan going this time?"
Lu Yuan shook his head.
Do you know the cause of the wildfires?
"I've heard some things."
"So, Chen Junyan's absence is to avoid suspicion?"
Lu Yuan let out a long sigh: "He's been taken away; they said he needs to be investigated!"
Qiao Manman pursed her lips: "Actually, he's a really nice person, he's just a bit unlucky!"
"Yes, that's really unlucky."
Not only did he marry a wife who loved to cause trouble, but he also quietly fathered a huge child.
When he met the other person today, he felt a pang of pity seeing his thin frame and red eyes.
But that's life; every choice is crucial.
A bad marriage can not only destroy love, but also ruin a person's future.
The two walked forward in silence. After walking for an unknown distance, Qiao Manman saw two cargo planes.
Its exterior is simple and its design is rough. There are no seats inside; it's just an empty sheet of metal from beginning to end.
When everyone saw her, their eyes lit up.
"Sister-in-law, are you here to see Deputy Regiment Commander Lu off? Don't worry, we'll be back soon!"
Qiao Manman shook her finger: "No, I'm going on the mission with you guys!"
A group of people stood there stunned, followed by disbelief.
"Sister-in-law, it's dangerous over there, you should go home!"
Qiao Manman opened her suitcase and pointed to the contents, saying, "This is burn ointment, this is scar removal ointment, this is a minor healing pill, and this is a dust mask..."
Do you still see me as a burden?
Everyone fell silent.
"I know you're not used to going on missions with women, but in some things, I'm better than you!"
My existence is another guarantee for your lives!
Qiao Manman's confidence impressed everyone.
"Come on, sister-in-law, let me help you with your suitcase!"
"Yes, yes, sister-in-law, come sit here! I was short-sighted just now, please don't hold it against me!"
