Forced to marry a disabled man in the countryside? I'll repay you tenfold!

What if I accidentally hurt my wife?

Su Wanqing was stunned for a moment, not fully understanding his thoughts, but she didn't make any further moves.

She had just raised her hand and gently patted his back when she heard his even, long breathing – Zhou Yanshen's nerves, which had been tense for several days, finally relaxed, and he fell into a deep sleep.

Su Wanqing also drifted off to sleep, clutching a large hand warmer.

The next morning, Su Wanqing woke up to find it already bright. Zhou Yanshen had already gotten up and left, and there was a small stool in the tent with breakfast on it: a bowl of porridge and two multigrain steamed buns.

The coarse grain steamed buns were so rough they hurt her throat. Su Wanqing casually put them into her spatial storage to feed the chickens. She then took out two apples and a few boiled eggs, and sandwiched meat slices, pickled vegetables, and salted duck eggs in the steamed buns to make three hearty hamburgers. She ate them with great satisfaction—her appetite had recently increased, and she could now eat the equivalent of two or three people's portions.

After eating and drinking her fill, she clapped her hands and thought about how she still had two more "tenfold return" opportunities today. She should go to the camp to see what was worth "investing" in. If there was really nothing else to return, she would go check on the wounded and wait for Zhou Yanshen to return.

As soon as she lifted the tent flap, Xiao Liu was waiting at the door, winking at her and saying, "Sister-in-law, you're awake? Captain Zhou specifically told us not to disturb you. He led a team into the water early this morning to mark the blue crystal vein, and he sent me with you today. Oh, by the way, he also got you your meal."

Su Wanqing: "..." Did Zhou Yanshen make the whole camp misunderstand what they did last night? This little Liu's smile is so meaningful.

But Zhou Yanshen clearly didn't do anything last night.

Sigh, she can't let people misunderstand and think that her husband was holding back on the first day he met his wife, can she? People who don't know the situation might think that he's impotent.

She handed over the empty bowl, saying, "I'll go check on the wounded first."

"Okay, okay. I'll show you the way."

The wounded were placed in a large tent. As soon as Su Wanqing entered, the four people lying down immediately tried to open their eyes and look at her.

The military doctor greeted them cheerfully and reported, "Dr. Su, none of the four of them had a fever last night, their condition is stable, they all woke up this morning and even drank some porridge. They only need a dressing change today, and they're recovering exceptionally well!"

He had barely finished speaking when several wounded soldiers eagerly began to speak:

"Hello, sister-in-law!"

"Sister-in-law, you must be Dr. Su? Captain Zhou has been telling us about your amazing medical skills every day, saying that you could save anyone who was still breathing. I, Wang Zhiming, didn't believe it at first, but now I'm truly convinced! If it weren't for you, I'd probably be dead..."

"Yes, sister-in-law, thank you!"

"Sister-in-law, thank you so much..."

Su Wanqing nodded, then squatted down to examine him one by one: "The recovery is indeed quite good, but the injury was severe, so you need to rest for a few more days. You're weak right now, why don't you sleep more?"

Upon hearing this question, the soldiers immediately began to chime in with their own opinions:

"Sister-in-law, Captain Zhou woke us all up at six o'clock, saying that you would definitely come to see us first when you woke up!"

"Yes, he said we must thank you in person. We thought Captain Zhou was right, so we definitely can't sleep. If we miss your room check and don't get to speak to you in person, Captain Zhou definitely won't let us off the hook."

"Exactly, we wouldn't want to miss the chance to see our sister-in-law!"

Su Wanqing: "..."

She almost burst out laughing. She hadn't expected Zhou Yanshen to have this side to him.

These young soldiers weren't actually tattling; they were clearly trying to find ways to let her know how good Zhou Yanshen was.

"Alright, you've thanked us and eaten. Just rest well for the next couple of days." After giving her instructions, Su Wanqing turned to the military doctor and said, "Give each of you another bottle of that nutrient solution we used before today."

Several people were seriously injured and still needed the enhanced version of the spiritual spring to stabilize their condition. She no longer felt sorry for them—saving them had earned her a direct reward of two tons of spiritual spring from the space, so these few bottles were nothing.

The military doctor nodded repeatedly, not even asking what kind of miracle drug the "nutrient solution" was or why it worked so quickly. He just told them to do as instructed.

After checking on the wounded, Su Wanqing decided to take a walk around the camp.

She mainly wanted to see if there was anything in the camp worth a tenfold return. Since she gets a tenfold return twice a day, she might as well take advantage of it.

Su Wanqing searched around, hoping to find some high-tech military equipment or rare supplies, but what she found was poverty—poverty beyond words.

The most valuable items in this temporary command post were a few diesel generators, military trucks, and radio transceivers. But even if she made ten copies of these things, they wouldn't be of much use right now.

The 65th Regiment now has two generators, which is enough for daily use. They even tried to sell Li Aiguo those bearings, but she wouldn't even look at them anymore.

As for military trucks...?

Su Wanqing stopped in front of the large truck, somewhat hesitant. This thing was the most valuable item, but even if she paid ten times the price, it wouldn't be of much use. As for selling it—good heavens, who could she sell nine military trucks to? Even giving it to Li Aiguo wouldn't be easy.

Xiao Liu followed behind her, watching her tour the camp, sometimes frowning, sometimes shaking her head, seemingly dissatisfied with something. Now she was staring intently at the truck, so he quickly went up to her:

"Dr. Su, would you like to go for a walk in the surrounding mountains? Trucks can't get in, but we have a few military horses here that you can ride."

Su Wanqing was a little surprised: "There are horses? Can I ride them? I'm not very good at it."

"If others can't do it, you'll definitely be fine! These horses are all trained and very stable. I'll ride one in front to lead you; I guarantee your safety."

Su Wanqing was somewhat interested. "Okay, then I'll go get a cloth bag and some tools. Let's ride around and see what mountain products we can find."

Su Wanqing gave Xiao Liu a heads-up in advance, lest she pull out something strange that would shock him: "No, sis, you carry this with you all the time?"

However, she had never ridden a horse before. She had always heard that Xinjiang was a "nation on horseback," but when she arrived, she found that most of the horses were concentrated in pastures and in the hands of ethnic minorities, and ordinary people rarely had the opportunity to ride them.

Xiao Liu just assumed that Dr. Su wanted to browse around; as for local specialties? They weren't that easy to come by.

Soon, Xiao Liu brought two horses. Su Wanqing stepped into the stirrups and mounted the horse. Her movements were a little clumsy, but once she was settled, she felt pretty good. Xiao Liu also mounted one, holding the reins of Su Wanqing's horse, and taught her the basics as they rode.

The clatter of hooves echoed through the valley, a gentle breeze caressing her face. Su Wanqing quickly mastered the rhythm, even managing to trot the horse a few steps on her own.

"This is so much fun!" she laughed.

At this point, she hadn't thought about "returning" the horses. It wasn't until Xiao Liu casually mentioned, "Dr. Su, don't underestimate these horses, the meat is incredibly delicious! Especially the smoked horse sausage the locals make, cooked with noodles and onions to make 'naren'—tsk, the taste is amazing… Commander Zhao said that for lunch today, we'll be eating this, and there'll also be fermented mare's milk to drink like wine!"

Su Wanqing nodded dismissively. How delicious could this thing be? It sounded really weird.
