The days when I was an obstetrician and gynecologist in Chang'an

Chapter 917: Going home. (Thanks to Jin Xiancong for the reward~)

Li Sanniang in Chang'an City faces many risks, but Li Dalang, who is far away in the south, is now in less danger.

The rustling sound of rain hit the leaves. Li Dalang, who was standing on the stilt house, looked at the continuous rain outside, but he felt relaxed in his heart.

A few days ago, they finally caught the mastermind behind the opium case - the Archbishop. As soldiers, Li Dalang and his men only had the task of arresting people. As for how to interrogate him and how to get the secrets of the mastermind, that was none of Li Dalang and his men's business.

The sound of "thump thump thump" of people coming up the stairs woke Li Dalang, who was immersed in his thoughts. He turned around and saw Gao Haiping, who was going up the stairs with a cane, and Wang Dabing following behind Gao Haiping.

Wang Dabing was holding a plate of snacks and a pot of hot tea in his hands.

Upon seeing this, Li Dalang hurried forward to support Gao Haiping, and helped Gao Haiping sit steadily at the table. Li Dalang raised his hand to take the teapot from Wang Dabing's hand.

"Boss, sit down, I'll pour it for you two."

After pouring tea, the three of them sat around the window. Li Dalang smelled the aroma of the cakes on the plate. He couldn't help but smile and said to Gao Haiping and Wang Dadan, "Are you going to the city again? The Xing family's cake shop is also amazing. They can open one here too."

After hearing this, Wang Dadan chewed the cake and replied to Li Dalang, "It seems that it is because of General Xiao Shi that I can open a cake shop in the city.

However, this is convenient for us. The food these natives eat tastes too strange. The food made by Huotou and others is edible, but it is not suitable to eat it every day.

This time when we went back to the city to get our supplies, we were given a badge, and Lao Qi and I went to get the cakes ourselves.

Brothers, three or four pieces each is not a small amount."

Gao Haiping was somewhat disgusted with Wang Dadan's habit of talking while eating. He swallowed the cake in his mouth before continuing Wang Dadan's words, "This cake is very popular among the Annan nobles in the city, and many people buy it. This should be the intelligence station left by General Xiao Shi in the Xing family's shop.

However, everyone knows this without having to guess, after all, they were so bold as to wear military uniforms and carry knives while driving a car to get the cakes.

This can be considered a deterrent to these natives."

Li Dalang nodded and agreed to what the two said.

The sound of rain outside the window gradually became louder. The three of them turned their heads to look out the window. The unique earthy smell and water vapor when it rained also drifted into the house.

"Boss, didn't the higher-ups say when we can go back?

It rains every day in this poor place, and it's so damp that the bedding is getting moldy.

It's not only damp, but also hot, and we have to stay here in the woods. If I hadn't asked the military doctor for some mosquito repellent, I really wouldn't have been able to sleep at night."

At this point, Wang Dabing felt that the big bite from a poisonous mosquito on the back of his foot started to itch again.

However, at this time, he was too embarrassed to take off his shoes and scratch it. He was somewhat embarrassed in front of Li Dalang.

Li Dalang did not answer Wang Dadan's question first. Instead, he stood up and took out a small porcelain bottle from the shelf in the house: "Here, this is the mosquito repellent powder specially prepared by my aunt. You can add it to the mosquito repellent incense in the room where the brothers sleep at night. The effect should be better." After watching Wang Dadan take the small porcelain bottle, Li Dalang sat down again. He first glanced out the window, then turned back to look at Wang Dadan who was staring at him with hope: "Did the brothers call you to ask? Are you all homesick?"

Wang Dadan chuckled twice, raised his hand and touched the back of his head, and said to Li Dalang with a little shyness: "Boss, we have been out here for almost a year, and we have fought many battles and captured many people. Didn't you say that we should be promoted?
Brothers, how can we not be anxious to go home?
Hehe, they asked me to ask, we all follow the arrangements from above, so let’s just ask.”

Li Dalang could naturally understand the feelings of his brothers. Not to mention, he himself wanted to go home earlier. It had been several years since he last celebrated the New Year with the Li family. Not to mention that he had not seen his newlywed wife for almost a year. He missed her very much.

Just as Gao Haiping was about to speak, Li Dalang raised his hand to signal, and Gao Haiping shut up.

However, although Gao Haiping did not speak again at Li Dalang's signal, he was thinking in his heart: "It's time to give these lazy guys like Dadan a tight skin. It's just that the leader has a good temper. If it were another general, which soldier would dare to ask when to return home?
The first rule of a soldier is to obey orders!"

"The last time I went to General Shi, he said that we should go on another mission and bring back valuables and other things, and then we should be able to go home.

You should talk to your brothers and tell them not to worry, we will definitely be able to return this year."

Just as Li Dalang said, on another rainy night five days later, Li Dalang followed Shi Le'an and his men on a boat and took a detour to a place. They got on a sampan, saw the river bank, climbed over two hills, and finally found a large amount of gold and silver in a valley guarded by natives.

And among them, in a hidden place, Shi Le'an found a long wooden box according to the archbishop's instructions.

Li Dalang was following nearby, so he naturally saw the wooden box. He was the first to step forward and open the box. After all, he had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, so his reaction ability should be stronger than Shi Le'an's.

What's more, Shi Le'an is his superior, and it is his duty to protect his superiors.

However, this wooden box did not have any mechanism. Once it was opened, they saw a silver-white scepter inlaid with red gems lying inside.

"My goodness, this thing is really not light."

Shi Le'an took the scepter from Li Dalang, felt its weight, and was very happy.

"With this thing, I can finally wrap it up."

Although they were preparing to return to Chang'an, how could the army set out immediately after returning?
However, Li Dalang and his men could finally rest in the south. They just waited for the day to board the ship with the army, first to Guangzhou, then to Qiongzhou (now Haikou area), then north to Hangzhou, and return to Chang'an by land.

It was another rainy day, and still in the stilt house, Li Dalang, Gao Haiping and Wang Dabing sat around drinking tea and eating cakes.

"Finally we're almost back. The weather here is really unbearable."

"Mr. Zhou said that the weather will be sunny on the 20th of the month. Go back and ask your brothers if they want to buy anything. Then you and Old Seven will go to the city to buy it."

"Hey, boss, Haiping said that it would be most cost-effective for us to use the money to buy spices. We can at least make several times the money by reselling them back to Chang'an."

Thank you Jin Xiancong for supporting 100 starting coins. Thank you very much for your continued support and encouragement to me!
