Chapter 1180: I am a Battlefield Doctor
There was no gunfire, no roaring aircrafts, no soldiers screaming in pain. Soldiers on the front line had used their lives to trade for this peace and tranquility.
Ning Shu brought Xiao Tong to her house and they both took baths, then collapsed on the comfortable bed and were dead to the world. They didn’t want to do anything except sleep.
When they woke up, it was already a day later.
Ning Shu put on her military uniform, hung the second-class military medal on her chest, and pulled on military boots to head to the boarding school to see Zhu Siyuan.
After this period of time, Zhu Siyuan had grown a lot taller and his physique had also become sturdier.
“Mom!” Zhu Siyuan ran to Ning Shu but he no longer threw himself into her arms the way he had when he was a child. His behavior had become a lot more restrained, but his eyes were still a little red as he looked at Ning Shu.
Ning Shu said with a smile, “Siyuan, Mom is back. Let’s go home.”
Zhu Siyuan nodded hard. The entire way back, he kept asking Ning Shu all kinds of questions. When he learned that she had gotten a second-class military merit citation, he started staring at the medal without even blinking.
Ning Shu handed the medal to him and he carefully took the medal in his hand. He flipped it this way and that, wide-eyed, then said to Ning Shu, “Mom, in the future, I’ll also head to the battlefield to drive the invaders out of our land!”
Ning Shu nodded with a smile.
When they got home, Xiao Tong had already finished preparing the meal. She looked a little timid when she saw Ning Shu and Zhu Siyuan. Ning Shu introduced Xiao Tong to Zhu Siyuan and Zhu Siyuan greeted her, calling her Big Sister Xiao Tong.
At the dinner table, Zhu Siyuan kept pestering Ning Shu to talk about the battlefield. When Ning Shu recalled all the things that happened at the battlefield, she kind of lost her appetite. She said to Zhu Siyuan, “Siyuan, don’t ask Mom anymore. Mom will write all of it down later and you can read about it yourself.”
Ning Shu wanted to put all the types of injuries she had encountered on the battlefield down into a book and she also wanted to record all the situations that she had encountered.
Yup, the name would be “I am a Battlefield Doctor”.
Ning Shu began to write down everything that had happened on the battlefield like diary entries. She wrote about how she worked, what kind of injuries the soldiers had received on the battlefield, and how to deal with each kind of wound.
Every time she wrote a little, Zhu Siyuan would be the first to read it. Every time he finished reading, he would look at Ning Shu with a gaze that was filled with admiration, heartache, and also indignance. He asked, “Are the aggressors really this cruel?”
“Yes, war is simply this cruel,” said Ning Shu.
After Zhu Siyuan finished reading it, he even took it to the school to show it to his classmates. Ning Shu didn’t mind. She would probably be sent to the battlefield again soon.
This was just a temporary retreat, this war would go on for a very very long time.
Whenever she had free time, she would teach Xiao Tong some military medical knowledge. Since Xiao Tong had been on the battlefield before, she picked things up quickly.
Ning Shu felt that she had been in this world for quite a long time. This feeling was especially strong after coming back from the battlefield. It felt like a lifetime had passed. No other world had ever made her feel this fatigued.
A newspaper came to find Ning Shu. They wanted to publish “I am a Battlefield Doctor”. Ning Shu agreed to it without any conditions. If they wanted to publish it, might as well let them. During this time while the nation was in danger, it was good to let ordinary people to understand what the battlefield was like.
The newspaper paid her a bit of author’s remuneration and Ning Shu took it. She was saving up funds for Zhu Siyuan to get married.
