On the first night of her marriage, she was hospitalized

Chapter 423 Even the captain is no use
She went forward first.

Xu Hui helped Zhang Xiangdong up and followed with his men.

After walking through the woods for about a hundred meters, they actually found a cave.

Given that this is deep in the mountains, it's hard to imagine whether this cave, which can accommodate more than a dozen people, is the home of some animal companion.

So Xu Hui and Zhang Xiangdong both looked at Jiang Tang.

Does that mean there are any indigenous people living there?

If so, we'll probably have to trouble Jiang Tang to communicate with them and get them to come out.

Jiang Tang shook her head.

"Nothing."

She stepped inside.

Deng Ping followed closely behind.

The others followed her into the cave.

The temperature inside the cave was a few degrees higher than outside. Finally, they wouldn't get soaked by the rain and could spend the night in a relatively warmer place. The group, who had just escaped death from the flash flood, felt a little relieved.

But we didn't dare let our guard down.

With a sudden flash flood looming ahead, no one knows what other dangers might suddenly emerge in the mountains.

Zhang Xiangdong sent someone to the cave entrance to collect some branches to start a fire.

There was a large rock in the cave, and behind the rock was some open space. It was a good opportunity for Jiang Tang and Deng Ping to go behind the rock and change their wet clothes.

Change into clean clothes.

Although Jiang Tang was in good physical condition, she was still uncomfortable with her clothes sticking to her body while wet, so she obediently went to change her clothes.

After the two women had put on their clean clothes, the soldier who was in charge of collecting firewood also returned with two large bundles of firewood.

Xu Hui lit two fires.

A pile of them, located near the entrance of the cave, was roasted raw for the men.

The other pile was burned next to the large rock inside.

Let Jiang Tang and Deng Ping warm themselves by the fire.

Not only that, he also went outside and got two tree branches, trimmed off the leaves, and handed them to Jiang Tang and the others to dry their clothes.

Even if a female comrade is traveling with them, Xu Hui and his team still have to take extra care of her.

Jiang Tang gave the branch to Deng Ping, who set it up not far from the fire, with her back to the men outside, and draped her wet clothes over it.

Jiang Tang went outside and stood in front of Zhang Xiangdong, who was working with the soldiers to develop an advance plan.

"Xiao Jiang, what's wrong?"

Zhang Xiangdong raised his head.

Jiang Tang shook her head, telling him to stick his feet out.

"I am fine."

Zhang Xiangdong understood what Jiang Tang meant, and felt both amused and touched. "It was just a slight twist."

"I can see for myself."

Jiang Tang is very stubborn.

If she has made up her mind about something, she won't easily change it unless she has seen it with her own eyes.

Like now.

She wouldn't leave if Zhang Xiangdong wouldn't look at her feet.

Xu Hui chimed in, "Captain, why don't you let Comrade Jiang take a look?"

Even though Chen Jie is a very skilled medic, Xu Hui still thinks Jiang Tang is even more skilled.

After all, it was Comrade Jiang who pulled his wife back from the brink of death.

Her skill level is evident.

The other team members also knew of Jiang Tang's skills. Liu Baoguo and the others also asked Zhang Xiangdong to take a look at Jiang Tang's legs.

Zhang Xiangdong had no choice but to stick his foot out.

"Thank you for your help, Xiao Jiang."

Jiang Tang squatted down and stared at Zhang Xiangdong's ankle. His ankle was a little swollen and a large piece of skin had peeled off. Anti-swelling medicine had been applied to it, but the results were not yet visible.

She frowned, then suddenly reached out and grabbed Zhang Xiangdong's ankle.

Zhang Xiangdong let out a sudden hiss.

"Little Jiang?"

Although he trusted Xiao Jiang, he really wanted to ask, which doctor specializes in pinching the sore spot when treating a patient?

Even he couldn't hold on with Jiang Tang pinching his injured ankle like this!
The tingling sensation in Zhang Xiangdong's ankle made him gasp several times.

Jiang Tang squeezed for a while before withdrawing her hand.

"Your bones are broken."

"what?"

"You can no longer participate in this operation."

"No, Xiao Jiang."

Zhang Xiangdong opened his mouth to explain, "I'm really fine, I just twisted my ankle..." He still wanted to explain.

Jiang Tang stood up and glanced indifferently at Chen Jie, who was treating Zhang Xiangdong's injuries first.

"You said."

Chen Jie felt a little uneasy under Jiang Tang's gaze.

He looked at Zhang Xiangdong, then at Jiang Tang, unsure of what to say.

His silence made Xu Hui and the others realize that what Jiang Tang said was true.

"Captain, you're so badly injured, why didn't you tell us?" Xu Hui asked, somewhat puzzled.

Zhang Xiangdong waved his hand, "I'm really fine, don't listen to what Xiao Jiang said."

"Did I say something wrong?"

Jiang Tang stared intently at Zhang Xiangdong.

Her solemn expression made it difficult to refute her words.

"Xiao Jiang..."

It took Zhang Xiangdong a while to calm down before he opened his mouth, wanting to have a proper talk with Jiang Tang.

He was the team leader, and he injured his ankle on the very first day he entered the mountains. This had a huge impact on the entire team.

He didn't think his injury was that serious; he was confident he could handle it.

As long as Jiang Tang and the others don't reveal it, he guarantees that he can participate in the operation just like a normal person.

"I can't participate."

Jiang Tang spoke up, interrupting Zhang Xiangdong's fantasy without hesitation.

"Given your current condition, forcing your way into the mountains would only be suicide."

"Xiao Jiang..."

Zhang Xiangdong's lips twitched. Comrade Xiao Jiang was too blunt; his heart couldn't take it.

"Xiao Jiang, that's not how it works. I know my own body. This little injury will heal as I walk."

"No, you don't have that ability."

Jiang Tang still decisively exposed Zhang Xiangdong's lie.

Zhang Xiangdong...

Deng Ping was drying clothes nearby...

She knew that anyone who crossed Jiang Tang would be furious.

Zhang Xiangdong was speechless for quite a while.

For a moment, he couldn't even think of a rebuttal.

Xu Hui glanced at the captain, then turned to look at Jiang Tang.

"Comrade Xiao Jiang, what do you suggest we do next?"

"Have someone send him out."

Jiang Tang pointed at Zhang Xiangdong and spoke.

"No."

Zhang Xiangdong was the first to object, saying, "I'm the captain of this operation, so I definitely can't leave. I have to be part of the team."

"Captain, you're injured."

Xu Hui tried to persuade Zhang Xiangdong.

Zhang Xiangdong was also stubborn.

No matter how much Xu Hui tried to persuade him, or anyone else did, he wouldn't listen at all.

Helpless, Xu Hui could only turn his attention to Jiang Tang.

We still need to ask Comrade Xiao Jiang to take charge.

Jiang Tang glanced at Zhang Xiangdong, who had a stubborn look on his face, and then at the other soldiers who were full of expectation. She thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Two choices."

"First, you take the initiative to have someone escort you out of the mountains."

"Second, I'll knock you out and then have someone send you down the mountain."

The results of her two choices were exactly the same.

It seems like you're given a choice, but in reality, there isn't much of a choice.

However, if you say there was no choice, that's not right either.

She held up two fingers, indicating that Zhang Xiangdong had two choices.

"Comrade Xiao Jiang, this is just being unreasonable." Zhang Xiangdong's face darkened, and he became angry.

"Okay, I get it now."

Jiang Tang slowly walked back into the cave and stated slowly and deliberately, "I will knock you out tomorrow morning."

Zhang Xiangdong...

The rest of the people...
