The gate inside Weng City slowly opened, and the vehicles slowly drove in.
The speed of the car was very slow.
Upon entering, there was an open space, with some houses in the distance, varying in height and uneven, yet appearing especially harmonious.
They saw some people on the roadside carrying hoes, working in the fields; they also saw children running along the roadside.
There were old and young, men and women, the oldest being over sixty, and the youngest about the same age as Lao Xie's daughter. At this moment, they saw Li Yu leading them in.
Both sides looked at each other with some curiosity.
In the car, Captain Lü's daughter saw Li Suxin wearing a beautiful floral dress, and her eyes showed some color, but quickly returned to a dazed state.
Lao Xie looked at Xiao Fei's appearance and sighed inwardly, thinking, 'She's still just a child.'
As the vehicle slowly moved, they saw a small stream, with many pebbles beside it, and some small grasses next to the pebbles.
At the foot of the mountain further away, a group of young boys and girls were herding cattle. One brave boy sat directly on a cow's back, and their laughter faintly drifted over.
"Truly, a paradise," Lao Xie said, his eyes filled with longing. "How fortunate it would be to live here."
Although he didn't know the rules on Li Yu's side, seeing old people and children indicated that this base had warmth, responsibility, and humanistic care.
They passed through a Bamboo Forest, where the wind had scattered bamboo leaves all over the ground. It hadn't been swept, but the fallen leaves made the place appear particularly serene.
Further ahead were two long rows of bungalows, and opposite them were several villas. All were surrounded by a low wall.
Standing on their side, they could also see two mountains in the distance, and it seemed both mountains were enclosed by this wall.
And on the two mountains, there were also two tall watchtowers, with a person vaguely visible on each watchtower.
In the center of the two mountains, a small stream meandered down, with a row of trees planted on both sides of the stream, swaying and rustling in the evening breeze.
What a beautiful pastoral scene!
Li Yu drove directly to the residential area, and everyone got out of the car.
After getting out, although everyone wanted to look around the base, they were more eager to know Captain Lü's condition.
So, Lao Xie and several others, who had just gotten out of the car, gathered around: "Mr. Li, we are truly sorry, but may we see the captain?"
Li Yu nodded, walked ahead, and said, "Alright, follow me."
With ample medical equipment and Li Yuan, who studied medicine, and considering that Captain Lü's gunshot wound wasn't deep, there shouldn't be a major problem.
Everyone walked to the outside of a house, where Lai Xiyue came to greet them.
"Yu Ge, you're here."
"Yes, how is Captain Lü, who was brought in today? And where is Xiao Yuan?" Li Yu asked.
Lai Xiyue said, "The bullet has been removed, and Captain Lü is already awake. Xiao Yuan is inside."
"Good, you've worked hard."
Lai Xiyue saw so many people, thought for a moment, and said, "Captain Lü lost a lot of blood and is still very weak, so it's better if not too many people go in."
Upon hearing this, Lao Xie and the others immediately became anxious, but they didn't dare to speak negatively, only looking at Li Yu with pleading eyes.
Li Yu thought for a moment, then finally said, "We just came in from outside and are carrying a lot of bacteria. Too many people would not be good for Captain Lü. Two of you can come in."
Lao Xie thought for a moment and finally had Xiao Wu take Captain Lü's daughter inside.
"Alright, you all wait outside," Li Yu said.
Immediately, the three of them entered the medical room.
Li Yuan was preparing medicine inside. Seeing Li Yu bring two people in, she quickly said, "Brother, you're back!"
"Yes," Li Yu replied.
He then looked at Captain Lü, who was lying on the hospital bed. He saw that his face was pale, but his overall mental state was good.
Captain Lü heard the movement and immediately looked over. When he saw Li Yu in front, his eyes showed gratitude, but after the gratitude, he couldn't help but want to look behind him, to before he escaped to Li Yu's side.
At the Official Building, he had seen his daughter's small body, kneeling on the ground, her eyes filled with joy, but he could only leave.
Now that he had found Li Yu, and Li Yu had also returned, did that mean...
Li Yu saw the look in his eyes and moved slightly to the side. Xiao Wu, behind him, led Captain Lü's daughter two steps forward.
Captain Lü saw Xiao Wu, then looked down, and surprise immediately flashed in his eyes.
"Feifei! Baby!" Captain Lü struggled to get up, but as he exerted force, the pain in his shoulder intensified. Seeing this, Li Yu quickly held him down.
He said, "Don't get excited."
Li Yuan, beside him, also said, "Don't get up. We just managed to stitch the wound. Don't let the wound burst open with movement, or we'll have to stitch it again."
"Okay, okay, I won't get up," Captain Lü said with a smile.
Looking at his daughter, her face was dusty and grimy, and her eyes were a little confused. Because she was short, from her angle, she didn't immediately recognize that the person on the hospital bed was her father.
Captain Lü saw this scene, and the eyes of a man in his dozens immediately turned red.
"Feifei, this is Daddy. Say Daddy." Captain Lü shifted his body forward slightly.
A face appeared in front of Xiao Fei.
Xiao Fei looked up, her eyes still a little dazed, and lowered her head.
But she quickly raised it again, her eyes showing some disbelief.
Then she blinked, and tears fell from her big eyes at a visible speed.
Captain Lü saw his daughter like this, and tears also fell from his already reddened eyes.
"Feifei, this is Daddy. Daddy will never be separated from you again. Please don't blame Daddy, okay?" Captain Lü remembered today, enduring the grief and the urge to save his daughter, and forcefully leaving the Official Building. At the moment he turned around, seeing his daughter's disappointed expression, it was more painful than being killed.
At that time, it wasn't that he didn't want to save his daughter; it was just that in that situation, he couldn't save her even if he went, and instead, everyone might have died there.
It was just that he didn't know it would have such a big impact on his daughter.
"Daddy. In the future... don't, don't... don't leave me again, okay?" Xiao Fei choked out.
At that time, Lao Xie and Captain Lü were outside, and Lao Xie did not appear in front of them, so for Lao Xie's daughter, there might not have been as many feelings.
However, when Captain Lü appeared in front of his daughter, Xiao Fei saw the two uncles she usually lived with and who often joked with her die at the hands of those people. Little as she was, she also knew what had happened.
Seeing Daddy appear, she thought he was going to save her, but Captain Lü turned around and ran away.
This left a huge shadow in her young heart.
"Feifei, Daddy promises you. It's all Daddy's fault." Captain Lü reached out to hug his daughter, but the pain in his shoulder made him frown slightly.
Seeing this, Li Yu wanted to stop him, but seeing the parents crying like this, he sighed. He didn't stop them.
"Daddy, I... I... will eat less in the future, you... you in the future... in the future, don't abandon me, okay? I can eat less.
I won't fuss about wanting to eat anymore. I can go without food, I won't eat, boo hoo hoo." Feifei hugged her father, sobbing and crying.
Li Yuan heard this and couldn't help but turn her head. This little girl was small, with yellowish hair, and no flesh on her face at all, clearly indicating malnutrition.
How could this be about being greedy? This was about eating too little!
Alas!
