Chapter 1674: Chapter 1083: Heroine of the Republic 57

"Need to go down the mine?" The underground work is hard labor and very dangerous, of course, the compensation is also high.

The girl shook her head, "Not going down the mine. He just joined, doesn’t understand anything, how could they let him go down the mine? But the job assigned won’t be easy either. My mom wants me to go, but they said once the quota is set, it can’t be changed. Moreover, I at least have a high school education, they want me to take the mine’s exam. If I pass, I can work in the office."

As the girl spoke, An Yi roughly understood. It seems she has a hard time aiming higher. Her parents have supported her this far, which shows the family isn’t extremely patriarchal. The father suddenly had an accident, leaving this widow and orphan, three or four siblings, relying solely on the mother is surely impossible.

An Yi left three yuan as condolence money and took her leave. Things have reached this point, more words are useless, and she didn’t intend to persuade further, after all, the family situation is right there.

The girl’s home wasn’t far from Gu Cheng’s house, it only took about ten minutes to arrive. Two big men were fetching water and planting vegetables in the yard. As soon as they saw her enter the yard, Gu Cheng quickly patted the dirt off his hands, "You’re done with your work?"

"Yeah, why are you planting vegetables now?" It’s already past May Day, don’t you think it’s late?

"Replanting. For some reason, the earlier ones didn’t sprout. Come with me."

Gu Cheng entered the house first, An Yi nodded to Qin Zheng in greeting, then followed inside, this time lifting the curtain.

For unmarried men and women sharing a room, it’s essential to pay attention to such details, it’s a matter of basic courtesy.

"Lie down, I’m going to wash my hands." After An Yi washed her hands and turned her head, she saw Gu Cheng had already rolled up his pant legs. After a thorough inspection, not only was there no issue with his flesh, but his bones were also fine. Upon examining his chest wound, there was nothing wrong at all, fully proving how effective her self-prepared medicine was. So when she looked at Gu Cheng with a doubtful gaze, he gave a wry smile, "You seem very confident in your medical skills and medicine."

"I generally don’t treat others, but since I’ve done it, I’m ten percent sure. There’s not a hint of a problem with your wound, not even with the subcutaneous tissue. So the only reason you’re asking for medicine is for the person outside, right?"

Gu Cheng didn’t deny it, "Couldn’t say it outside just now, had to say it was my own issue. You’re right, my comrade has many old injuries, most of them from the battlefield. Do you think you could... sell us some of your medicine?"

Afraid she wouldn’t give it, he quickly added, "Don’t worry, we won’t shortchange you."

An Yi’s mouth twitched, glancing sideways at Gu Cheng, "I need to see the injury to treat it accordingly."

"No need to look, all were from weapons, similar to when I got shot before. He doesn’t like others touching him."

An Yi snorted coldly, "You didn’t like it back then either, but did my treatment make you disgusted? Do you disdain me because I’m not a pretty doctor, just wanting my medicine without letting me see the injury? Don’t you know medicines can’t be randomly taken or applied? If you won’t let me see it, I won’t give the medicine."

Gu Cheng tidied his clothes, seeing An Yi was adamant. After spending more than half a month together, he knew what kind of person she was. He sighed and resignedly walked out.

The two men stood in the vegetable garden talking, occasionally glancing her way. An Yi was not in a hurry and just sat on the stool, crossing her legs, watching them leisurely.

Five minutes later, they walked in together, Qin Zheng’s normally stoic face forced a smile, "Sorry for the trouble."

An Yi shrugged indifferently, "Wherever you’re hurt, just expose that part. If it’s large, it’s best to be naked but cover the key areas. Don’t worry, I’m a doctor; in my eyes, there’s no difference between men and women."

With that, she turned and went to the next room, waiting for the person to make a choice.

Afterwards, no one knew how the two straight men communicated, but after some rustling sounds, Qin Zheng lay flat with his upper body naked, and the middle part of his lower body covered with a blanket, the curtain was already down.

Qin Zheng still showed no expression, but seeing the scars on him, An Yi was taken aback, because the surface area was such that there was almost no intact skin, more terrifying than Gu Cheng’s.

Gu Cheng was more into espionage work, but Qin Zheng should have always fought on the front lines. Judging from these scars, big and small, he had to have suffered more than five or six major injuries. Surviving was really not easy, it fully demonstrated how strong his will to survive was.
