245 I’m Back

Under Dang Gui’s guidance, the carriage stopped at the entrance to the alley.

The alley was very narrow and the carriage could not enter. Yu Niaoniao, Dang Gui, Lo Pingsha, and Shen Xu could only get out of the carriage and walk.

Dang Gui spoke as she walked.

“Grandpa Sun lives here. He used to be a military physician in the Eastern Expedition Army and saved many people. Many people in the army respected him very much. Later, he was discharged early because he injured his leg during the march and became disabled.”

!!

“My father had saved his life. He had always been very grateful to my father. As long as he’s willing to help, he should be able to rope in a lot of people.”

They walked into the alley and knocked on the door of the house at the far end.

The door was opened by a little girl. She was immediately wary when she saw that it was a stranger.

“Who are you?”

Dang Gui stepped forward. “Don’t you remember me, Xiaohe?”

Xiaohe stared at her face for a moment, then finally remembered and blurted out,

“You’re Sister Guixi!”

Dang Gui smiled. “It’s me. I’m back.”

Xiaohe hurriedly opened the courtyard door completely and invited them in. Then she ran to find the adults at home.

Soon Old Sun limped out with a cane. Behind him were two young daughters-in-law and several small children. Almost the entire family was here and they were pleasantly surprised to see Dang Gui.

Old Sun asked excitedly, “Miss, where have you been for the past three years? Why haven’t we heard from you at all? We thought something had happened to you and were worried sick.”

Then he noticed the gauze wrapped around Dang Gui’s forehead and frowned.

“You have a head injury? Let me see.”

Dang Gui said gently, “Grandpa Sun, it’s just a small injury. It’s fine. I came to you this time because I have something very important to ask you for help with.”

Old Sun led them into the house.

The two daughters-in-law served them tea and then tactfully left.

Dang Gui briefly explained why she had come. When Old Sun heard this, his beard trembled in anger.

“I knew something had happened to the Eastern Expedition Army!”

“Previously, General Tang was injured on the battlefield and had been recuperating after being sent back. I once wanted to see him, but I was stopped by the kid with the surname Du.”

“He insisted that I was too old and did not allow me to treat General Tang. At the time, I thought there was something wrong with him, but no one believed me!”

Dang Gui was extremely worried when she heard that her father was injured. “Is my father’s condition very serious?”

Old Sun said solemnly, “I haven’t seen it with my own eyes, so I can’t be sure how serious his injuries are. However, from the fact that General Tang hasn’t appeared in public for three years, I can tell that his injuries are definitely not light.”

Dang Gui’s heart was heavy, and even her head hurt.

Seeing that she did not look good, Old Sun hurriedly comforted her.

“Don’t worry too much. General Tang has experienced so many storms and has always been in good health. I’ll treat him carefully later. I’m sure he’ll be cured.”

Dang Gui forced a weak smile. “Thank you, Grandpa Sun.”

Old Sun used his illness to get someone to call his two sons back from the military camp.

Not long after, the two sons of the Sun family rushed back.

When they heard that their father was seriously ill, they were shocked. As soon as they entered the door, they were stunned to see their father sitting there safely.

“Father, aren’t you sick?”

Old Sun said quickly, “Let’s not worry about that for now. Look who this is.”

Sun Dalang and Sun Erlang looked in the direction their father was pointing and noticed that there were four other people sitting beside them. Three of them were unfamiliar, but a pale girl wrapped in gauze looked familiar.

They stared again and finally remembered. Wasn’t this girl the eldest daughter of the Tang family who had been missing for three years?!

Sun Dalang and Sun Erlang were pleasantly surprised. “Miss, when did you come back?”

Dang Gui said weakly, “I just got back.”

The brothers wanted to ask more, but their father interrupted.

“Let’s not talk for now. Missy needs your help with something.”

Then, Old Sun told them what Du Tao had done.

Yu Niaoniao originally thought that convincing the Sun brothers would take some time Unexpectedly, the two brothers agreed on the spot.

“Leave this to us. We’ll definitely do a good job for Missy!”

Old Sun also felt that they had agreed too quickly and was a little worried. “Don’t talk big. This matter is risky. If you can’t do it, just say it. Don’t force yourself.”

Sun Dalang hurriedly said, “Father, you haven’t been in the military camp for a long time, so you don’t know. The military camp is in a mess now.”

Sun Erlang added, “Ever since Du Tao relaxed the military rules, a lot of things have happened in the army. Many people have contracted dirty diseases because of prostitutes.”

“They could not be cured and no one would care if they reported it to the higher-ups. Now, they are living a life worse than death.”

“There were also people who were addicted to alcohol and spent all the money they had saved. In the end, they were even in debt.”

“There were also gambling, fighting, theft of military items…”

“The military camp today is simply not a place for humans to stay. We are just holding our breaths. I can’t leave because of my identity as a soldier. I can only endure it.”

Old Sun could not help but ask, “Why is it so chaotic? Doesn’t anyone from the higher-ups care?”

Sun Dalang shook his head. “Who cares? Those people up there play even more crazily. They live in drunkenness all day long and squander their military salary wantonly, completely ignoring the lives of their subordinates.”

Sun Erlang immediately said, “Everyone is hoping that General Tang will recover quickly and clean up the military camp.”

...

Brother Sun said, “If everyone knows that Missy is back, they will definitely stand on her side without hesitation.”

Dang Gui cupped her fists at them and said solemnly.

“I’ll leave everything in your hands.”

The Sun brothers hurriedly returned the greeting. “It’s our honor to serve Missy!”

They quickly returned to the barracks.

Old Sun invited them to eat at home and was politely rejected.

“We have things to do. We’ll visit another day.”

Seeing that he could not keep them, Old Sun could only get someone to take out the box under his bed.

He carefully wiped the dust off the box, then opened the lid, revealing the armor inside.

“It’s the armor I used to wear. I haven’t used it in years, but I take it out and polish it every year. If you don’t mind, you can use it.”

Dang Gui looked at the armor in front of her and felt a lump in her throat. “Thank you, Grandpa Sun. I’ll use it well.”

...

Old Sun picked up the helmet and put it on Dang Gui’s head.

The man’s helmet was a little big for Dang Gui, but it was just enough to cover the gauze on her forehead.

Old Sun looked at her eyes, which were fifty to sixty percent similar to General Tang’s, and said seriously, “The future of the Eastern Expedition Army depends on you.”
