RYEY -Chapter 429 Special Treatment

“Brigade Commander Qin, have you prepared a place for Cheng Qiao and her husband to stay? I want a separate dormitory arranged for the two of them inside the military compound.”

Brigade Commander Qin immediately understood what Hu Lata meant. Li Huan should be in the wooden cabin. He had already received the news that this fellow had been poisoned—and not just any poison, but the infamous Cold Poison, a toxin that struck terror at the mere mention of its name.

No need to ask who told him. Apart from Ye Chengying, not many people knew about this horrifying internal news. He personally climbed into the vehicle and entered the wooden cabin, only to be unexpectedly greeted by a face that was rosy, tender, and practically glowing with moisture.

When Li Huan lifted his clear, misty eyes to look at him, Qin Brigade Commander’s heart actually fluttered for a moment before he snapped back to his senses. Why does a man have to look this good?

And wasn’t he supposed to be poisoned? Could that cold poison actually make someone look this handsome? For a moment, he even felt a little tempted—he had never been good-looking in his entire life.

“Li Huan, do you still have poison in your body? You’ve become so… um, enchanting. Is this because of the poisoning?”

Li Huan: My sister is done for. Will the children she has with Guoqing in the future…? No, they won’t. The Li family has good genes—definitely won’t.

With a mix of despair and hope, Li Huan closed his eyes. He really didn’t want to talk to Qin Daqiang. He was still suffering through that bone-chilling agony, while this guy was hung up on whether he looked… enchanting.

Qin Daqiang seemed to realize he had gone a bit too far and quickly reined in his thoughts.

“Li Huan, how are you now? Can you get out of the car and walk on your own?”

“Congratulations on your promotion, Brigade Commander Qin. I can walk by myself—just can’t stay outside for too long.”

“Alright. It’s about a thirty-minute slow walk. First room in the first building. It’s a suite—has a small living room and a private bathroom.”

“Thank you, Brigade Commander Qin. You’ve gone to a lot of trouble.”

“What are you thanking me for? You’re the second brother of my daughter-in-law—we’re family. If you keep being this polite, I won’t be happy.”

Seeing a military overcoat, a thick scarf, and a Lei Feng hat on the bed, Brigade Commander Qin bundled Li Huan up without hesitation.

Only after Li Huan’s feet were in his shoes did he lift him down from the vehicle. He ran at full speed the whole way, eager to get him into the dormitory as quickly as possible.

Hu Lata’s eyes flickered. He tugged at Cheng Qiao’s sleeve and quickly followed. Seeing that Uncle Niu also wanted to go along, Xiao Dan grabbed him—there was still so much stuff on the vehicle, and it all had to be delivered to Li Huan.

Uncle Niu thought about it and figured that Xiao Dan was a soldier here and must know the place well. Reassured, he helped carry the luggage—his own belongings were on the vehicle too.

“I say, Xiao Dan, when are you taking me back to have a look?”

“Chief Hu, the bear paws are yours. The bear gall can be used by Cheng Qiao for medicine. And the bear hide—give that to me.”

“Brigade Commander… then what about me?”

“You eat bear meat with everyone else.”

Cheng Qiao supported Li Huan as he got out of the car. Seeing Xiao Dan’s aggrieved expression, she couldn’t help but laugh.

“I already have bear gall—give it to Xiao Dan. And the bear hide too. He’s about to become a groom; he needs to exchange it for some money. As for the bear hide Brigade Commander Qin wants, I’ll give you one later.”

“Haha, Cheng Qiao is back, and Brother Li Huan is here too. The dormitory is ready. Guoqing, take your second brother and sister-in-law back to the dorm.”

Guoqing walked over with a smile and winked at Xiao Dan, signaling him not to worry—his father was just teasing him.

As soon as the dormitory door opened, an indescribable coolness wafted out. Uncle Niu put down the coal stove and was about to head back for a second trip when many people filed in behind him.

Some carried bedding, others hauled pots and bowls. In short, everything from the wooden house was moved in. Cheng Qiao quickly made the bed, folded the blankets, and tucked Li Huan into them.

“Go, go, go. We still need to dismantle the wooden house and move it down. Let’s put it in the warehouse behind the mess hall—anyone who needs it can use it later.”

Qin Daqiang waved his hand, urging everyone to leave the dormitory quickly. He knew Cheng Qiao needed to detoxify Li Huan, and Xiao Dan had quietly told him that although the wooden house was built by Uncle Niu, Cheng Qiao had already paid for it.

Since it belonged to Cheng Qiao, it should be placed in the warehouse. Cheng Qiao was part of their military district—if anyone needed it, they could just ask her.

Cheng Ligou arrived with Cheng Li as well. They had been worried about Cheng Qiao and Li Huan, unsure whether matters in Xiangyang Village had been resolved.

They waited and waited, until news finally came telling them to return to Hexi, along with word that Cheng Qiao and Li Huan were both safe.

Cheng Ligou didn’t quite believe it. If his daughter and son-in-law were truly safe, how could there not have been even a single phone call? Thankfully, after Cheng Qiao finished handling most things, she personally called Cheng Ligou.

When Mother Li learned that her son and daughter-in-law were fine, she brought Li Ming and Lele back to Spring City. Originally, she wanted to go take a look at Xiangyang Village, but Lele and Guoqing held her back tightly, telling her not to add to their troubles.

Mother Li was anxious until she personally heard Li Huan’s voice—only then did she finally feel at ease. At that time, Lele was about to start school. After Guoqing sent her off, he returned straight to the army.

Back at the unit, Guoqing learned the truth of the matter from his father. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say. Lele had already sensed something was wrong and was waiting for his news.

Every time Lele called, he had brushed it off, saying he didn’t know anything. Now, seeing Li Huan in person, his heart ached—he didn’t know whether to cry or hold it in.

“Go, call Lele and tell her Li Huan has come to me and that everything is fine. Oh, wait—tomorrow, take a photo of Li Huan, develop it, and mail it to her.”

With Li Huan’s complexion looking so good, even a black-and-white photo would show his vitality. To put his daughter-in-law at ease, Qin Daqiang decided to let the photo speak for itself.

Guoqing nodded. He had a camera—given by his second brother and sister-in-law when he married Lele. It hadn’t been used much.

Originally, the camera had been with Lele, but she didn’t know how to use it and didn’t have time to play with it, so she let him bring it back to the army. He hadn’t expected it to come in handy now.

He took the camera to Li Huan’s door. Just as he was about to knock, someone grabbed him from behind. Qin Guoqing was no ordinary person—his reaction was extremely quick. He dodged and counterattacked in one move.

But all his actions were futile. Every attack struck nothing but air. When he finally forced himself to calm down, he saw that his opponent was none other than Hu Lata.

This… he couldn’t win even if he fought to the death!

“Uncle Lata, it’s you.”

“If there’s nothing important, don’t go disturbing the couple. And if there *is* something important, don’t go either. They’re injured patients right now—you can’t delay their treatment.”
