Chapter 862: Chapter 0862: Mandarin Ducks Frolic in the Water 4

Basang Zhuoma touched her cheek and thought for a moment, "Wait for me a second."

She walked over to the group of women who were stripping to get into the spring and whispered a few words to them.

Feng Qingxue only knew a little Tibetan, and Basang Zhuoma’s voice was very soft, so she didn’t hear what the other person was saying. Still, after a while, Basang Zhuoma came back and said to her, "Previously, many health workers from your unit came here to promote health knowledge. Some of their medicines were very effective for our diseases. Their families all have some sick people, and bathing in the holy spring didn’t cure them, and our medicines seem to be useless. Can you get us some of your medicines? We’d be happy to trade jewelry for them."

Their jewelry was, in fact, their entire fortune.

Because they were a nomadic tribe, they had no permanent homes, so they would wear all their belongings on their bodies. With each generation, the amount of jewelry they wore grew.

"I am a doctor, I can take a look for you," said Feng Qingxue.

She was a quick learner. Now her medical skills ranked in the upper-middle level at the army hospital, and many doctors who had been more skilled than her had fallen behind because they had not progressed.

Basang Zhuoma was first stunned and then overjoyed. "Thank you, Qingxue!" she said.

After finishing their bath for the day, Feng Qingxue went back to the tent to fetch the first-aid kit and, with her husband and children, delved deep into the Tibetans’ residential area. Those with lighter illnesses felt better the same day they took the medicine, especially many children who stopped having stomach pains after taking Pagoda Sugar and passed a lot of worms. Those with more severe conditions needed acupuncture and conditioning.

At this time, Feng Qingxue had no choice but to use the medicine from her space to treat them.

Some of the medicinal materials that Lu Jiang had purchased from the Tibetan brethren were also being used on them now.

As a result, their family received the friendship of most people. Every day Tibetan brethren invited them to their homes as guests, slaughtering cattle or sheep and giving them many gifts they considered valuable.

The military had regulations, and both Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue firmly refused to accept gifts. So instead, the Tibetans started giving them to the children.

Fubao was grinning from ear to ear; she received many pieces of jewelry, too many to count.

Although Xibao was a boy, Tibetan brethren men also wore jewelry, so he got his share too, including several jewel-encrusted Tibetan Knives. However, his favorite was the Heaven Pearl that Ci Ren gave him, which already had a string and hung around his neck every day.

The Tibetan brethren population was not large, so after about five or six days of hard work, they finally came to a break.

Lu Jiang finally found a chance to go to the hot spring for a bath when nobody else was there, dragging Feng Qingxue along.

He cunningly chose the time right after lunch. By then, both children were asleep, lying on the mattress beside the hot spring, sleeping soundly, with Fubao sprawled out and Xibao’s leg resting on Fubao.

After some thought, Lu Jiang covered them with a small tent that Feng Qingxue had taken out from her space, ostensibly to block the sun.

"Wife, come on down." Opportunities like this do not come often.

Lu Jiang went down into the water first, his eyes glowing with the lust a husband feels for his wife.

When it came down to it, Feng Qingxue was somewhat shy. Wrapped in a bath towel, she just wouldn’t go down. Suddenly, she felt something tighten around her ankle, and her whole body plunged downward, directly into Lu Jiang’s arms.

Unbeknownst to her, he had already swum back to the edge of the spring.

"Stop it!" Feng Qingxue gave his chest a gentle punch.

"I can be even more annoying!" Lu Jiang laughed softly in her ear and quickly put his words into action.

... I’m begging for votes, monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, there are only ten days left this month.
