Chapter 60: Turning Point!

“Hey, take things easy. I’ve been there. There’s no need to make such a fuss!”
As Mrs. Luo patted Lin Suisui’s back to calm her down, she shook her head helplessly. “I’m just being nosy. If you know medicine, you should know that pregnancies are dangerous.
You’re still young, and so is Erlang. It’s safest to think about the child after you guys settle down at the base.”
This was already very sincere advice.
Lin Suisui calmed herself down and looked up slightly. Just as she was about to explain, she heard Lu Ze ask curiously, “What child?!”
“… Cough, cough, cough, cough!”
Lin Suisui couldn’t help but cough violently again…
“What’s wrong?” Lu Ze frowned and bent down to help pat Lin Suisui’s back. “How old are you? You can even choke on porridge?!”
“I just mentioned it. Since you’re back, I might as well remind you as well!” Since she had already said it, Mrs. Luo didn’t hide it anymore. She turned around and pulled Lu Ze over to explain in detail, “I mean, we’ve been drifting from place to place while enduring many hardships. As her husband, you should be more concerned for her.
“It’s not suitable to have babies on this journey!”
Just like any kind elder, Mrs. Luo pulled Lu Ze and explained everything in detail. Lin Suisui wanted to bury her head in her porridge when she heard Lu Ze smile and agree. “Don’t worry, Mrs. Luo. I’ll take note.”
“What do you mean?!” After Mrs. Luo left with a satisfied smile, Lin Suisui looked up with a flushed face and sounded a little anxious. How could Lu Ze respond to Mrs. Luo?!
“Why don’t I explain it to Mrs. Luo now?” Lu Ze naturally understood how awkward and embarrassed Lin Suisui felt. Seeing her like this, he couldn’t help but want to tease her.
“No, no, no. Forget it. It’ll only make things worse!” Lin Suisui sighed and hurriedly reached out to grab Lu Ze, who was about to leave. She paused before saying, “By the way, why did Pei Qian call you over?!”
“It’s nothing.” Lu Ze sat down next to Lin Suisui and took out a needle bag that Lin Suisui was very familiar with from his lapel. He handed it to her and said, “This is the silver needle you left on that soldier yesterday. Now that he has recovered, I’ve brought this back for you.
“In addition, Mr. Pei also gave me a thousand taels of silver and asked me to go over to receive this reward.”
Lu Ze watched as Lin Suisui put away the needle bag before continuing, “The sergeant might have to follow us in the future.”
“What?!” Lin Suisui, who was packing, paused and turned to look at Lu Ze in confusion. “Why?!”
“His identity is special and he’s injured. Pei Qian explained to the others that he was a refugee who had wandered away previously and returned to the camp. As for his injuries, he was unlucky to encounter wild wolves on the way.
For convenience’s sake, Pei Qian’s subordinates will drive an ox cart over tomorrow and disguise themselves as his companions. However, they will say that they’re from my hometown. They’ll have to trouble you to take care of his injuries along the way.”
Lu Ze explained to Lin Suisui.
“But those medical officers have seen him before!” Lin Suisui recalled that when she was treating that sergeant in the tent, in addition to Qian He and Pei Qian’s subordinates, two other medical officers had been called over to stand by!
“There are only two medical officers in the camp now.” Lu Ze glanced at Lin Suisui and said in an inaudible voice.
Lin Suisui’s hand trembled as she held the porridge bowl. If she had not quickly reacted, the porridge bowl would have shattered on the ground.
“But I don’t have enough herbs on hand.” Lin Suisui licked the corner of her lips and suppressed the panic in her heart. After a pause, she continued, “If Mr. Pei wants to silence people, why not just…
Forget it. It wasn’t easy to shirk this matter.
Anyway, didn’t they say that there’s another ox cart for them to rest in? I just need to go over from time to time to check on him. It’s not a big deal!”
“Yes, they escaped from the military camp and caused a huge commotion. Therefore, along the way north, we might bump into people who came to search for him.
Therefore, if he continues to stay by Pei Qian’s side as an injured soldier, his identity would be exposed almost immediately!
I’m afraid no one here can bear the consequences.”
Lu Ze said it implicitly, but Lin Suisui understood.
Not only did they know the background of that soldier now, but the general who stabilizes the north probably knew as well!
In order to prevent those evidence from spreading to the capital, he would definitely search for the whereabouts of these escaped soldiers at all costs!
And their refugee camp was too conspicuous. Moreover, the person in charge was Pei Qian! Therefore, it was hard to guarantee that the people from the general’s camp wouldn’t come to visit!
If they came, the identity of the soldier couldn’t be hidden!
In order to keep the secret, everyone in the refugee camp would probably be considered disposable people that could be wiped out at any time!
But if that was the case…
“From what you’re saying, Pei Qian wants to investigate this matter?!”
Lin Suisui was really surprised this time.
If he only wanted to protect the reputation of the Pei family, there was no need for Pei Qian to go through so much trouble to keep this soldier alive. He only needed to silence him like he did to the two medical officials!
However, he chose to save this sergeant’s life!
“It seems so. Regardless of whether he investigates or not, this soldier is finally in our hands! If you want him to live, it’s better for us to think of a way.”
Lu Ze had naturally thought about it before agreeing to this matter.
He actually couldn’t tell what Pei Qian’s plan was! However, the fact that this soldier was alive was a good sign.
“That’s true. Although the evidence has fallen into Pei Qian’s hands now, as long as this soldier is around, there will be someone to tell the truth!”
When Lin Suisui heard Lu Ze’s comforting words, she finally calmed down from her shock and nervousness. She wanted to pick up the porridge bowl at the side to wash it, but Lu Ze took it from her.
“The stream is too cold now. I’ll wash it later!”
