Chapter 171 Setting the Mountain on Fire
Chapter 171 Setting the Mountain on Fire
The regimental commander's office was brightly lit, and Yang Zheng was on duty.
Suddenly, the guard Qiao Sheng burst in, breathless, "Commander, no, something terrible has happened! Doctor Ming and Battalion Commander Xie's wife have set fire to the back mountain!"
"What!" Yang Zheng jumped up and ran outside as fast as he could.
The hill behind is full of vegetable gardens allocated to military families. If they were burned down, it would be disastrous.
He said it himself, he said it himself, that restless Luo Ning was bound to cause trouble sooner or later, and look what happened in just a few days.
Suddenly, there was a strange movement ahead, and Yang Zheng discovered that Gao Ming was walking away with several unfamiliar people.
What the heck is going on?
A huge exclamation mark appeared in Yang Zheng's mind, and he wanted to follow them to see what was going on.
"Commander, the military dependents have all run to the vegetable garden. If they find out... the consequences will be unimaginable!" Qiao Sheng was so anxious that he was almost out of his mind, and hurriedly urged them.
"Okay, okay, let's go to the back mountain, let's go to the back mountain!" Yang Zheng immediately made up his mind; this matter was more important now.
If you want to know something clever, just ask your superiors later.
When Yang Zheng arrived at the scene, the mountain was already filled with onlookers, and the air was filled with a delicious aroma.
Yang Zheng followed the path that Qiao Sheng had cleared and walked to the middle, where he was surprised to find Ming and Luo Ning squatting on the ground, drinking and eating braised duck with konjac.
What the heck is this? What happened to the promised burning of the mountain?
How did it turn into digging a hole, shoveling some dirt, setting up a pot, and cooking some food?
Moreover, this is not some back mountain at all; it is clearly behind the hospital, and we haven't even left the hospital's premises yet.
“Ming Army Doctor, Luo Ning, you…” Yang Zheng was furious. Did these two have to come here just to have a meal?
This caused everyone to spread rumors that the back mountain had been burned down. And Qiao Sheng brought him up the mountain without finding out the situation, which infuriated him!
Luo Ning and Ming Qi looked up and saw Yang Zheng with an unfriendly expression. They warmly invited Yang Zheng to eat with them.
Yang Zheng retreated repeatedly, "You two little devils, don't you dare to harm me!"
"Who ordered this to happen?" He'd been summoned here today; he couldn't ignore this unexpected incident...
Luo Ning raised his paw and answered quickly, "Report, it's him!"
Without hesitation, she pointed at Ming and pushed the pot away skillfully.
Ming silently shed tears, accepting the blame head-on.
"Yes, I did it!" Ming nodded in admission, suddenly feeling very relieved, and continued to drink and eat heartily in a leisurely manner.
Let's put ourselves in a do-or-die situation; the meat will taste even better then.
Luo Ning's cooking skills are truly amazing; they've taken my taste buds to a whole new level.
Moreover, beer paired with roast duck is simply too delicious.
"You..." Yang Zheng was speechless with anger.
This was clearly not done openly; it was definitely Luo Ning's doing.
But why would he take the blame for Luo Ning? That doesn't make sense!
Seeing that Ming was so willing to take the blame, Luo Ning decided to help him out. "Commander Yang, actually, this matter is not really the fault of Dr. Ming. It's just that the hospital cafeteria closes too early."
The Ming army doctor was exhausted and hungry from serving the people, but he couldn't find a place to eat. So he dug a hole and shoveled some soil on the nearby mountain. He worked like a tiger and was almost exhausted to death. Just as he was eating, you all rushed up to watch him eat.
Although he is handsome, you don't need to make such a big fuss just to come and have dinner with him.
What do you think Dr. Ming will think of this? How can I make myself look like I know how to eat?
What are these ducks thinking? Do they want me to lie down or crawl to look better?
And these chili peppers and star anise—they all hid when they saw you, afraid that if they stood too differently or in the wrong posture, you'd have something to say about them!
The audience burst into laughter, and the atmosphere was very joyful.
"Nonsense!" Yang Zheng scoffed. This Luo Ning was really good with his tongue. "This is the military, everyone has to be punctual..."
Luo Ning nodded, "Yes, yes, you're absolutely right. Starting tomorrow, the hospital will also have an eight-hour workday, with everyone leaving at six o'clock!"
"Nonsense! What if someone gets hurt tonight? What if they're seriously injured?" Yang Zheng was so angry he almost jumped up and down. This brat was causing him trouble again!
He and Commander Liu went to Xie Chang'an to ask Luo Ning to go to the regimental headquarters to explain the situation, but before they even left, Commander Quan stepped in to protect her. There's more to this than meets the eye!
Everyone was on edge, as it concerned their welfare, and everyone listened intently to how things would develop.
Ming's eyes flashed, and he already understood what Luo Ning wanted to do, but that was basically impossible.
"You want the horse to run but not to eat grass? Can you be any more unreasonable? Military doctors work at least ten hours a day, especially surgeons in the operating room. Many of them work non-stop and it's common for them not to leave the operating room for several days. They don't even have time to eat."
They stand on the front line protecting life and health, but who will protect their health? By the time they finish their work late at night and realize they haven't eaten all day, the cafeteria is already closed. It would be strange if their health didn't suffer in the long run.
They've fallen; who will protect the lives and health of the soldiers? And what about the sick, who have no appetite during the day and are hungry at night?
"You're such a troublemaker! We've been doing this for years, and everyone's been doing just fine!" a man with a long face suddenly shouted.
Many people immediately followed his lead, as if it were true.
Unbeknownst to the people in front, a doctor was standing behind them who was moved to tears by Luo Ning's words.
The bitterness in their hearts was finally discovered.
They are military doctors and must abide by discipline, but they are also human beings and need to eat.
But the nature of their work means they simply don't have time to eat, especially doctors who are not yet married.
If you're lucky, you might even get some leftover rice in the summer.
In winter, the food gets so cold that ice crystals form, making it impossible to eat...
But everyone went through this, and no one raised any objections. Even if their bodies couldn't take it, they could only grit their teeth and endure it.
Oh my god, did setting a fire bring out a ghost?
Luo Ning's gaze swept over the horse's face, secretly wondering if this man was the one from the corridor that afternoon.
"That's right, that's how we've all been all these years. You're not military doctors, so you can't see the hard work and sacrifices they've made. I'm just an observer speaking out for them. Our goal is to eat well, drink well, and live forever!"
"Ming, the military doctor, and I haven't set any fires or burned the mountain. This is just wasteland; we're not bothering anyone. What we're cooking in our pots is something no one else has in their fields. Alright, alright, let's all disperse. Those green-browed, green-eyed people staring at us are seriously hindering our pursuit of immortality. Please, have mercy!"
After planting the B tree, Luo Ning's immediate priority was to drink. She raised her enamel mug and clinked it against Ming's before continuing to feast.
Although Luo Ning kept eating, she actually ate very slowly and didn't eat much.
Yang Zheng snorted coldly and strode away.
Those who were just watching the show looked at each other and immediately followed suit.
Ming was about to say something to Luo Ning when he subconsciously looked around and saw a white figure quietly leaving from the corner. His eyes flickered.
Half an hour later, Luo Ning and Ming entered the hospital building.
At each floor she passed, someone came out to shake hands with Luo Ning, leaving her completely bewildered.
What's going on?
Ming vaguely understood something; perhaps their hospital was about to experience some turmoil.
