Chapter 267 Going Out 5
Battalion Commander Zhou noticed Jiang Li's confusion and quickly explained, "This is the veterinarian the base invited to give Pudding the injection. His name is Wu Ping. He used to treat military dogs and has extensive experience."
"He has no other problems, except that he really likes dogs."
Pudding looked at the jerky offered to her, then turned her head away in refusal.
"You even trained this dog to refuse food, that's really impressive. This must be in accordance with military dog training standards, right?"
Wu Ping crouched down to be at eye level with Pudding, his gaze still burning as he stared at it, making Pudding feel uncomfortable. Pudding bared its teeth at Wu Ping.
Wang Wang ~
Why is this person looking at the dog with such a strange expression? Although the dog is majestic and imposing, it only likes its own kind. The dog doesn't have such unusual tastes. Stay away from the dog.
"Can I touch Pudding?" Wu Ping looked up at Jiang Li with a pleading expression.
Jiang Li was speechless. "No, are you only remembering me now?"
"That depends on Pudding's wishes."
Upon hearing Jiang Li's words, Wu Ping nodded knowingly, a hint of disappointment on his face, but no anger.
"You are the first family I have met in all these years who respects the feelings of pets so much. This is great. Every pet has its own unique temperament, and I really like this."
Wu Ping stood up, smiled, and handed the dried meat in his hand to Jiang Li.
"Give this to it after it finishes its injection, as a reward."
After saying that, Wu Ping began to take out syringes, disinfectant supplies, and an electronic scale from his bag.
"Let's weigh Pudding first."
Ye Jingmo picked up Pudding and stood on the scale.
Bu Ming felt nothing but emptiness in front of her body, her four paws stiffly suspended in mid-air like rigid wood, her tail dangling between her two bones, staring at Jiang Li with pleading eyes.
After obtaining Pudding's exact weight, Wu Ping took out enough medicine from the bottle and set it aside for later use.
Ye Jingmo held Pudding's body firmly in his arms, wrapping his arms around Pudding's head to ensure it wouldn't bite Wu Ping while struggling.
Jiang Li stood in front of Pudding and covered Pudding's eyes with her hand to prevent it from being frightened.
Apart from the vaccines she received as a child, Pudding has never come into contact with needles since she grew up.
Noticing Ye Jingmo and Jiang Li's unusual behavior, Pudding whimpered softly.
Woohoo~
Why are you grabbing the dog, owners?
Wu Ping grabbed Pudding's neck muscles, disinfected it with iodine, and then quickly and accurately pierced the skin with a syringe.
As the injection was being administered, Pudding began to struggle, her strength almost preventing her from breaking free of Ye Jingmo's hold.
Jiang Li stroked Pudding's fluffy little head and said gently beside it, "It's okay, Pudding, just wait a little longer."
After Wu Ping finished administering the medicine, he stood up and said, "All done."
Jiang Li released her hand from Pudding's view, and Pudding immediately spotted the syringe in Wu Ping's hand. This was the person who had just hurt her.
Pudding stared at Wu Ping with hostility, then leaned down slightly, making a gesture as if to attack.
Jiang Li quickly pulled Pudding to a corner, soothed it by stroking its fur, and then opened a bag of snacks and handed it to Pudding.
"Pudding is so good. She can stay calm even when getting a shot. What a good baby."
Jiang Li coaxed Pudding until it calmed down and squatted down to nibble on the duck neck snack Jiang Li had given it.
"Then I'll be going now, Mr. Ye. Here is my contact information. If Pudding feels unwell, you can contact me anytime and I'll come right away."
Wu Ping handed Ye Jingmo a slip of paper with his contact number written on it.
"Dr. Wu, don't you need to stay here for further observation?"
Upon hearing the news that Wu Ping was leaving, Jiang Li turned her head anxiously to ask, her stray hairs falling across her face without her having time to tidy them up.
"No need. Animals usually react to this kind of medicine more quickly than humans. If Pudding really has any discomfort, it should show some signs within these few minutes."
"It seems to be enjoying its snacks so much, it should be fine."
Pudding, munching on a duck neck, accidentally met Wu Ping's gaze. She immediately turned her head away, still holding the duck neck, looking as if she hated seeing Wu Ping.
Wu Ping could only shrug helplessly. He had initially chosen to become a veterinarian because he wanted to have more contact with furry little animals.
Later, he discovered that he became a veterinarian, but he was not liked by furry little animals at all. Some vengeful dogs would even scold him every time they came to visit.
Although he didn't know what they were saying, judging from their expressions, they must have been swearing quite rudely.
From this perspective, Pudding was actually quite good to him; at least she just didn't want to see him, instead of swearing at him.
"Then I'll go out with Dr. Wu. If you have any further questions, please send me a message. Be careful once you're out there."
Battalion Commander Zhou stepped forward and patted Ye Jingmo on the shoulder, his tone full of expectation for them.
Then he leaned close to Ye Jingmo's ear, his tone shifting, and whispered with a hint of sharpness and disgust:
"Pay close attention to that guy named Yang Yile. He has a relative who is a battalion commander in the army, at the same rank as me. I only recruited him into the team because of pressure."
That guy's been dishonest before, you guys need to be careful and not fall for his tricks.
Jiang Li's hand, which was stroking Pudding, stopped in mid-air, a cold smile curling at the corner of her lips. She would take care of that person.
Ye Jingmo frowned slightly and nodded.
"Then I'll go back first."
After saying goodbye, Battalion Commander Zhou left the room.
Jiang Li finished feeding Pudding snacks and stood up. As she turned around, she bumped into Ye Jingmo who was walking over.
"what……"
Jiang Li patted her chest, her beautiful face pale with fright. She glared at Ye Jingmo with annoyance.
"Brother Mo, do you walk without making a sound? You startled me."
She thought that her fierce gaze was quite cute in Ye Jingmo's eyes, like the expression of a jelly sticking out its little claws.
Cute and quick-witted.
But then he remembered what Battalion Commander Zhou had said, and thinking of Jiang Li's unusual behavior at the meeting, he lowered his eyes and looked at Jiang Li.
"Ah Li, do you know Yang Yile?"
This sentence is not a question, but an affirmation.
Upon hearing that I might mention Yang Yidong, Jiang Li's face showed disgust, as if she had seen some disgusting scene. She unconsciously lowered her head and clenched her fists.
A large hand stroked her head, bringing a reassuring warmth. Jiang Li looked up and saw the comforting and gentle look on Ye Jingmo's cold face. She quietly moved her whole body into his arms.
"Yang Yile was an interlude I encountered on my journey to find the enemy who hurt you in my past life. At that time, he was a small leader in a base."
For some reason, they took a liking to me, sent people to capture me, and tried to force me to submit, but I resisted to the death.
Left with no other choice, I personally slashed my face three times with a knife, disfiguring myself.
Even so, he wouldn't let me go. Luckily, a rat swarm happened to appear, allowing me to slip away in the chaos and prevent him from succeeding.
Jiang Li spoke casually, as if nothing had happened, with a faint smile on her face.
Did it hurt at that time?
Ye Jingmo reached out and touched Jiang Li's cheek, his thumb slowly tracing her delicate skin, his eyes filled with heartache.
Ye Jingmo could not imagine how desperate Jiang Li must have felt at that moment, or how painful it must have been when the knife cut her cheek.
She had always been a girl who loved beauty, but she was forced to cut her cheek with a knife.
Jiang Li was lost in memories. That night in her past life was so dark and so quiet.
Five tall men surrounded Jiang Li, lewdly looking down at her and uttering obscene words.
Yang Yile spoke arrogantly to Jiang Li, offering her two packs of instant noodles if she would let him have his way with her.
Jiang Li desperately refused, even kneeling down and sacrificing her dignity, hoping Yang Yile would let her go.
But this attitude of refusing to listen to reason angered Yang Yile, who waved for his men to grab Jiang Li and prepare to force himself on her.
At that moment, Jiang Li's eyes were filled with despair, and she had already resolved to die. When a man approached, she took out a dagger tucked behind her waist and stabbed it directly into the man's heart.
Then, she slashed her cheeks with a knife, the blood flowing from the gruesome wound covering her entire face, making her look like a madwoman.
Those around Jiang Li were startled by her behavior and silently took a step back. When they met Jiang Li's bloodthirsty and crazed eyes, they all felt a chill run down their spines.
Yang Yile was furious and was about to take action himself when the gathering bell rang out from the base, which was used to summon the personnel inside.
Someone rushed over from outside and told Yang Yile that a swarm of rats was heading towards the base and that they needed to evacuate immediately. Only then did Yang Yile have to give up his idea of holding onto Jiang Li.
Jiang Li also took advantage of the chaos caused by the rats to escape from the base.
Jiang Li snapped out of her reverie and took Ye Jingmo's hand in hers. "I thought I would never meet Yang Yile again in this lifetime, after all, the current base is very different from the one I visited before."
"The moment I saw him, I made up my mind that I would not let her get away with it."
Ye Jiangli naturally bent down and placed his chin on Jiangli's head, gently rubbing her hair, as if licking the wound of the cub, but his eyes were as cold as shattered ice.
"I will make him pay the price he deserves, and this man will no longer exist in the base."
Ye Jingmo's voice was very soft, as if it were a casual remark, but his tone was full of solemnity and determination.
Ye Jingmo silently stayed by Jiang Li's side, waiting for her to process her inner emotions.
"Alright, Brother Mo, let's not talk about this unpleasant topic anymore, I'm hungry."
Jiang Li pushed Ye Jingmo away and touched her stomach, which had begun to growl.
"I want to eat something delicious." She rested her chin on her hand and blinked at Ye Jingmo.
"What to eat?"
Ye Jingmo looked helplessly at Jiang Li, wondering what tricks she could come up with.
"I want to eat steamed bear paw, braised lamb leg, and roasted venison..."
Jiang Li looked at Ye Jingmo mischievously, wondering what he was going to do.
Ye Jingmo seemed to be deep in thought, and said in a serious tone, "The bear paws from the one we hunted last time have all been eaten. I'll look for it again when I go out this time and see if I can find it. We don't have any ingredients for roasted venison either. Let's go out and look again. The only thing you can eat here is braised lamb leg."
Jiang Li's smile froze. Was Brother Mo really considering the feasibility? No, he still wanted to find the brown bear. Had he forgotten how badly they were chased by the bear last time?
Jiang Li quickly waved her hand, "Forget it, the bear is so cute, let's not eat the bear. Let's eat some normal food instead."
Let's have a super luxurious bowl of sour soup noodles. It feels like it's been ages since I've had it; I'm really craving the taste.
"Then sit down and wait a moment, I'll go make it for you."
Ye Jingmo gently poked her forehead with his finger, his tone both gentle and firm.
"Don't hide anything from me next time, or else..."
The unfinished words, carrying a deep sense of danger, sent a chill down Jiang Li's spine.
Jiang Li blinked ingratiatingly, opened her arms and wrapped them around Ye Jingmo's arms, and said in the gentlest and sweetest voice, "Brother Mo, please forgive me. It wasn't my fault this time."
"Waaah, others are bullying me, Brother Mo, you're bullying me too." Seeing that Ye Jingmo didn't respond, Jiang Li used all her tantrum skills.
"Alright, stop joking. I'll go cook for you. Give me the ingredients."
Looking at Jiang Li's appearance, Ye Jingmo couldn't help but smile slightly. He still preferred Jiang Li's vibrant appearance.
Jiang Li took out thin noodles, scallions, ginger, and garlic from her spatial storage and set them aside. Then she took out lobster, abalone, luncheon meat, shellfish, crab, and other items, and stuffed them all into Ye Jingmo's hands.
Ye Jingmo's lips twitched. "This shouldn't be called sour soup noodles, it should be called seafood noodles."
"I want the sour soup flavor, the seafood flavor is too bland. When we're out, we eat nothing but bland food, so we have to make the most of this meal."
Ye Jingmo resignedly went to the kitchen and began to prepare the seafood. Jiang Li, worried that the smell would be too strong, specially brought out an air purifier and sprayed air freshener on it beforehand, mainly to prevent problems before they occur.
Inside the kitchen, Ye Jingmo poured the heated oil onto the noodles, and the aroma of the sour soup immediately filled the air.
Jiang Li looked at the bright red sour soup, with chili peppers and sesame seeds floating on top, its vibrant color making it very appetizing.
The bowl of noodles is decorated with seafood such as lobster, crab, and abalone, showcasing its luxuriousness.
Ye Jingmo also fried two eggs and placed them on top; the aroma of eggs and oil made one's mouth water.
Jiang Li dipped the tender white shrimp meat in the sour soup, and the sweetness of the seafood was made even more pronounced by the sour taste.
This is a Chinese version of Tom Yum soup.
Jiang Li ate with a truly satisfied expression, but she miscalculated by the amount of food; she was so full that she couldn't eat anymore after only half of it.
With pleading eyes, she looked at Ye Jingmo pitifully and said, "Brother Mo, I can't eat anymore, but there's still a little left. Could you please finish it for me?"
Am I that old?
As Ye Jingmo heard Jiang Li pronounce the word "old," the veins on his forehead throbbed; this was the age-related issue he couldn't accept.
"You misspoke, brother, brother, quickly eat it for your sister."
Ye Jingmo took Jiang Li's bowl of noodles and quickly finished the rest.
Jiang Li stared in disbelief, then seemed to realize something and said, "Brother Mo, you didn't eat enough before, did you? We have plenty of food at home, you don't need to be so frugal."
"I used to eat until I was 70% full, that's my habit."
Ye Jingmo finished cleaning up the dishes and then washed them.
The day passed as usual, peaceful and happy, with the calm before the storm.
