Marrying a childless superior, she became pregnant and lived a carefree life in the 1970s.

Chapter 55: Binding Sheng Zexi as Patient No. 2 and Rewards
Otherwise, if they heard this, they would definitely vehemently object: if Jia Ning is considered ugly, then there are no good-looking people in the world.

Gu Jianing got into the passenger seat, then pulled down her red scarf, revealing a delicate, beautiful, and fair face.

She turned to look at Sheng Zexi, who was starting the car, and said, "Brother Xi, I didn't expect you to have such a good relationship with your comrades and their wives."

She thought that with such a sharp tongue, this person would have no friends.

Sheng Zexi: Haha, these people used to try to set me up on blind dates.

However, it's best not to tell this to the little girl.

"By the way, Brother Xi, what did everyone mean by 'warming the house' just now?" Gu Jianing asked.

Sheng Zexi explained to Gu Jianing.

Newlywed soldiers, after being assigned housing and moving in with their wives, would host a housewarming party for their comrades or neighbors. This was a lively affair, a way for everyone to get to know each other and socialize better in the future.

"Oh, I see. Should we prepare something too?" Gu Jianing asked.

"Sure, but hosting a banquet would require preparing a lot of food, and I might have to train then and won't be able to find the time."

I'm still on leave today, but starting tomorrow, I'll have to officially return to training, and sometimes I'll even have to go on missions.

He won't be able to spend as much time with Ningning then, and he won't be able to cook for her as often.

That means Ningning will have to eat at the cafeteria.

Thinking about it, Sheng Zexi felt a little worried and thought Ningning was being wronged.

"What should we do then?" Gu Jianing felt that warming the house was still somewhat necessary. "I'll ask Sister Zhang another day."

"Row."

Gu Jianing didn't want to cook for herself, but she thought she could hire someone to help and then pay them. Or she could use the super scanner in her eyes to scan everyone who helped or came to warm the house, giving them a free physical examination. That would be pretty good, wouldn't it?

The car drove out of the military region and headed towards the mountains.

As the car drove along the road, Gu Jianing suddenly remembered her promise to treat Sheng Zexi's illness.

"System, bind Sheng Zexi as the patient!" Gu Jianing said to the system in her mind.

[Ding! Sheng Zexi has been identified as Patient No. 2. Scanned. His related symptoms can be viewed in the Patient section of the Learning Space.]

[Ding! Patient No. 2 has been detected as the host's husband, a key character in the main quest. The host will be rewarded with the following upon successfully treating Patient No. 2: 1x "National Beauty and Fragrance Pill", 10x "Immunity to All Poisons Pill", 1x "Invisibility Bulletproof Suit", and 200 points.]

The original patients, numbers 2 through 10, were pigs from the pigsty in Huaihua Village. However, after curing those nine pigs, Gu Jianing untied them.

As for Patient No. 1, she is the sister-in-law's side. She hasn't been untied yet, and she can see her sister-in-law's physical condition in real time. Currently, her sister-in-law's health has been cured, and she is in her fertile period.

Once my sister-in-law gets pregnant, the first task will be completed, and she will be able to obtain the Pregnancy Elixir.

At that moment, Gu Jianing looked at the reward and exclaimed inwardly.

This reward is too generous!

The "National Beauty and Heavenly Fragrance Pill" means that after taking it, she will gradually become more and more beautiful, even more beautiful than she is now, and will also have a natural fragrance.

This is exactly what Gu Jianing, who loves beauty, loves most.

The "immunity to all poisons" pill is easy to understand; it makes you immune to all poisons. This stuff is pretty good. I can find some time to give myself and Brother Xi one first. Anyway, there are 10 pills in total.

The invisibility bulletproof vest, as the name suggests, is bulletproof and can also make one invisible. Once Gu Jianing obtains this reward, she can tell the system who she wants to wear it, and the system will automatically put it on that person. As for the person wearing it, they will not know, will not notice for a while, and will not know that they have put on an invisibility vest.

Unless a bullet happens to fly by and be deflected by the bulletproof vest, people with keen senses might notice it.

But it was still invisible. Gu Jianing was incredibly excited.

This stuff is perfect for Brother Xi.

Sheng Zexi is a soldier who is often sent on missions, sometimes even to the front lines, where he may have to fight against vicious people.

Bullets don't discriminate, and Sheng Zexi is always at risk of injury whenever he goes on a mission.

Wearing this invisibility bulletproof vest would prevent this possibility.

Therefore, we still need to get Xi Ge's body cured as soon as possible so that we can receive the reward sooner.

While Sheng Zexi was driving, Gu Jianing consciously opened the patient section to check his physical condition.

About 15 minutes later, the car stopped at the foot of the mountain.

Perhaps due to the extremely cold weather, there was no trace of anyone else in this area besides them.

"Come on." Sheng Zexi got out of the car first, then carried Gu Jianing out of the car and took her hand as they walked into the mountains.

The terrain was somewhat complicated, but fortunately, Sheng Zexi seemed to be very familiar with the place. After turning left and right for about ten minutes, the two stopped in front of a rock.

Ok?
Gu Jianing looked at the large rock in front of her with some confusion.

Then Sheng Zexi stepped forward and forcefully pushed the large rock aside.

The next second, a cave more than a meter high was revealed behind the big rock, and there seemed to be light coming from the other end of the cave.

"I never expected there would be a hole behind this big rock," Gu Jianing exclaimed.

"Follow me, bend down, come in slowly, and don't touch the stones," Sheng Zexi instructed.

"it is good."

Although she had some doubts in her heart, wondering if she could really get through such a small hole, Gu Jianing still trusted Sheng Zexi. Led by him, she bent down and followed him slowly into the hole.

At first, it was indeed a bit narrow. It was a little better for Gu Jianing, who is relatively short, but Sheng Zexi, who is 1.9 meters tall, had to squat to get in. Gu Jianing felt uncomfortable for him just watching.

But soon, Gu Jianing noticed something was wrong.

As Gu Jianing walked further in, she found that the road ahead became higher and wider.

After that, Gu Jianing was able to walk upright, and soon Sheng Zexi stood up and walked.

"Huh, it's getting brighter up ahead. Why do I feel a bit hot?"

She came out bundled up tightly, but as she walked, she felt increasingly hot, and could clearly feel the temperature around her rising.

"Brother Xi, are we almost there?"

"Already arrived."

Ok?
As Gu Jianing took a step forward and looked up, everything before her suddenly became clear.

In front of them was a large pool, surrounded by clusters of different kinds of flowers. Steam rose from the pool, and the air faintly smelled of sulfur.

The pool was surrounded by stones, with the only passage being the path they had come by and a hole in the ceiling through which light shone down.

It doesn't feel dark here; on the contrary, it's very bright.

"Wow, this must be a hot spring." Gu Jianing hurried over, reached the edge of the pool, reached out and tested the water, feeling the warm temperature.
