Chapter 1244: Chapter 1244 Shuitian Leaves the Team 3

Feng Qingxue was no longer in the military; she spent her days in the family compound, caring for the children, which caused her to receive news much later than usual.

If it weren’t for Lu Jiang telling her, she wouldn’t even have known that such a major incident had occurred.

Upon hearing Feng Qingxue’s words, Li Shuitian nodded before Lu Jiang could answer, saying, "Yes, sister-in-law, my wife and I were taken away and suffered severe torture for a while. It was Comrade Army Commander Lu and many comrades from the troops who came forward, vouched for us jointly, asking us to write self-criticism letters, and then they brought us back. But the order of dismissal was something they couldn’t change."

The incident happened so fast and fiercely that both of them were taken away unprepared, and the charge was such a laughable one.

The truth that Cao Hongzhu had told back then turned into a deadly sword for them both!

Feng Qingxue looked closely and noticed that Li Shuitian’s stance was abnormal, there indeed were traces of bruises on his face, and his mouth was also torn.

"Despicable!" She dared not say it aloud, only muttered it in her heart.

At this moment, what filled her heart was more fear, because you never knew when something you said could bring about fatal trouble for you. Was keeping silent the only way to ensure temporary safety when even speaking the truth was not allowed?

She had thought that after the most intense two years had passed, with many educated youths going to the countryside, the situation would have eased somewhat. It was all a dream!

"Tonight, Qingxue and I will stop by your house to let Qingxue have a look at your injuries and prescribe some medicine," Lu Jiang let out a long sigh, "Facing this kind of situation, we are powerless, because some things are simply beyond reason! All we can do is to send you home safely. You should quietly rest at home, do whatever you should do, take good care of your health, and don’t forget the training you’ve received in the army. I believe that one day you will definitely return to the troops!"

Li Shuitian first looked gratefully at Lu Jiang, and as he listened to the latter part, his gaze involuntarily showed a hint of excitement, "Really? Can I? I have spent most of my life in the army, and I can’t bear to leave! Do I... really have a chance to come back?"

"Yes!" Lu Jiang replied firmly.

"Alright, Comrade Army Commander Lu, I will wait at home, always ready for the summons from the army!" Li Shuitian saluted him with a standard military salute, struggling to hold back the tears in his eyes, "Hongzhu is stubborn, and she clashed with others, resulting in serious injuries. She refused to let the military doctors treat us. Thank you, sister-in-law, for not holding grudges and being willing to treat her. I will spare you the words of thanks since they can be meaningless if said too much. But, with just one command from Comrade Army Commander Lu, I, Li Shuitian, am willing to go through fire and water, and I will not shy away from death!"

It wasn’t just serious, it was very serious, so serious that it was almost too horrifying to behold.

Feng Qingxue didn’t let Lu Jiang accompany her, but went alone with Li Shuitian to his place, and it turned out that Guo Xiuying and Wang Sanbao also came quietly. The three of them exchanged glances and sighed softly.

While treating Cao Hongzhu’s wounds, Guo Xiuying asked softly, "You’ve come out, who’s taking care of the child?"

"Ajiang, I asked Ajiang to stay at home and watch over him. I don’t feel at ease with others looking after him," Feng Qingxue answered softly, witnessing Cao Hongzhu’s body twitching with pain as her wounds were bandaged, "Bear with it a bit, your injuries are too severe, and bones and muscles take a hundred days to heal. Once you get home, make sure to take good care of yourself. If you face any difficulties, send a letter to the army."

Clenching her teeth and sweating from the pain, Cao Hongzhu listened to Feng Qingxue’s words and let her tears of regret flow down freely.
