Chapter 652 Liu Jianjun's Concerns
Liu Jingxue returned to the ward carrying a large bamboo basket.
Seeing her coming in with a large basket of things, Xiao Ma hurried over to take it.
"Comrade Liu, why did you buy so many things?"
Letting Xiao Ma take the basket, Liu Jingxue said, "It only looks like a lot, but there aren't many actually.
Apart from some vegetables, there were also a few kinds of fruits, and not much of each.
I didn’t expect that there are so many different varieties of fruits here at this time of year.
What’s more, the fruits here are sold so cheaply, and you don’t even need a ticket.
Unlike the Northeast, not only are there no fruits at this time of year, but you also need tickets.
I was excited to see the prey, so I bought a few more.”
“We do have many varieties of fruits here.
At this time of year, many fruits in the mountains and forests here are ripe and ready for sale.
As long as you are diligent and go to the mountains and forests a few more times, you can get a lot of fruits.
In the past, when we were training, whenever we were running up the mountain, we would always have these fruits as snacks." Xiao Ma answered while packing his things.
"Then you are in for a treat."
Thinking of the fact that Yunnan has many wild mushrooms and is known as the "Fungus Kingdom" in later generations, Liu Jingxue couldn't help but wonder,
"Brother Ma, when you are training in the wild, can you use local materials to make fire and cook?
If you cook, would you pick wild mushrooms to make dishes?
Can you tell whether the mushroom is poisonous or not?"
The moving melody of "Red Umbrellas and White Poles" involuntarily rang in Liu Jingxue's mind.
She shook her head quickly, trying to get the melody out of her mind.
No, you can't think like that. This is my second brother's special forces team. This kind of thing will definitely not happen.
"We are a special forces team. Survival in the wild is a necessary skill. How could we not have such training?
As for identifying poisonous mushrooms, this is a necessary skill not only for our special forces, but also for our troops in Yunnan.
Our troops have limited conditions, so picking mushrooms for food is a necessity.
If you can't tell the difference and accidentally pick poisonous mushrooms, that would be a big deal.
So, when you go to Yunnan to serve as a soldier, the first thing you need to do is to learn about the local mushrooms, to know which ones are edible and which ones are poisonous.”
"What if I meet someone I don't know?
Should I pick it or not?" Liu Jingxue asked curiously.
Xiao Ma said firmly, "It must be Cai.
Pick two and hand them over to the relevant personnel for research. They will find out whether they are poisonous or not, and then they will know whether they can be eaten or not."
Well, Liu Jingxue had to admit that this was a good idea.
Liu Jianjun waited until Liu Jingxue finished talking to Xiao Ma before asking, "Little sister, is big brother back?"
“Not yet, but my sister-in-law said she asked someone and was told that he should be back in ten days or half a month.
As for taking home leave, I have also talked to my sister-in-law about it. She said that if nothing unexpected happens, there should be no problem.
I plan to call you after you are discharged from the hospital."
Liu Jianjun was a little disappointed. "This is the only way for now."
Liu Jingxue thought Liu Jianjun was worried that his elder brother would encounter the same danger as him when he went out on the mission, so she quickly comforted him.
"Brother, don't worry. Sister-in-law said that the mission you are going to carry out this time is not an important one and there is no danger.
You don’t have to worry about anything happening to him.”
Not to mention that since Liu Jianjun got into trouble, Liu Jingxue took the time to pray for Liu Jianjun, Xiao Huzi, his uncle, and his aunt, and provided them with a protective shield.
Why did she leave behind her eldest sister-in-law? It’s because she has no blood connection with her and is not by her side.
Liu Jingxue planned to wait for her sister-in-law to come over and find a way to get some of her blood so that she could pray for her and make a protective shield.
"Okay, I'm not worried," Liu Jianjun said perfunctorily.
He frowned, "Little sister, do you know why big brother suddenly left the previous unit and ran to guard the island?
That's not a good job, and the future is limited."
Liu Jingxue paused while peeling an apple, and then continued peeling.
"I don't know.
My eldest brother came back to attend my grandmother's funeral, and was transferred out of his original unit not long after he returned.
Later he resumed communication with me and said he had been there for several months.
As for why he suddenly went there, he didn't tell me.
When you two meet, you can ask him yourself."
"Did your parents tell you about this?"
"Uncle and aunt, you know they usually don't tell grandma about things in the army, let alone me," Liu Jingxue lied.
She guessed that Liu Jianjun must be suspicious of something, but she couldn't let anything out now.
"Brother, why do you think so much?
My eldest brother has been there for more than two years and is doing well.
Besides, my eldest brother is my eldest uncle’s biological son. Since he agreed to let my eldest brother go there, he must have had his considerations.
There is no way that uncle would harm elder brother."
“You don’t understand what’s going on in the army.
To guard an island, usually those who don't have much chance of promotion are sent there. By transferring people there and moving up one or two levels, it becomes like a retirement home.
My eldest brother is still young, not even thirty, so it shouldn’t be his turn. "
"Brother, you are generalizing.
There is nothing special about the island that Big Brother is guarding.
For example, there may be something important on the island, or some important place.
If this is the case, then it is not right to let those who are capable and competent pass.
If we send someone there to take care of the elderly, what if something goes wrong?"
Liu Jingxue remembered that in the movies and TV shows she watched later, many scientific research sites in that era were located in sparsely populated areas, either in desert areas or on remote islands.
There should be no problem for her to use this to fool Liu Jianjun.
Now it all depends on whether Liu Jianjun believes it or not.
Hearing Liu Jingxue say this, Liu Jianjun couldn't help but think of the missions he had taken on before.
There is some truth in what my younger sister said. Maybe this is really the situation on my older brother's side.
Maybe I'm just overthinking it.
No matter how selfless my dad is, he can't help but consider my eldest brother's future.
Besides, my mom is here.
Even if my father wanted to sacrifice my eldest brother for the greater good, my mother would not agree, and my eldest sister-in-law would also oppose it.
These two women are not easy to deal with. If they join forces, even my dad will have to give in.
Thinking of his mother and sister-in-law's terrifying fighting power, Liu Jianjun felt relieved.
There should be nothing wrong with my brother.
As for my dad and mom, although it’s a bit weird that my dad was transferred, I can accept it if I think about it carefully.
The situation in the army is not peaceful now. Perhaps something happened to his predecessor where he took office, so he needs to find someone trustworthy to take over.
Nothing should have happened to the two of them, otherwise the younger sister wouldn't be so calm, and she wouldn't have said that she wanted to carry herself over to call the eldest sister-in-law.
Forget it. I should wait until I get better and then call my eldest brother, or wait until the two brothers meet and ask him about it.
