Chapter 260: 260 Annoying
This made Tan Shaoting feel at ease.
"By the way, Zhao Yanping got married. After I came, Zhao Qingjie is also going to get married; they are really planning to stay here."
"There's nothing wrong with that. Now their siblings should be just the two of them left, I guess they're also almost there."
"Yes." Su Yuanyuan sighed. They'll settle down here in the future. Going back would involve many considerations. But yes, they're at the age to start families.
"Yuanyuan, these are the herbs I collected; I'll give them all to you. I can find more. Actually, there are plenty of good things in the mountains."
Su Yuanyuan thought for a while and accepted them.
Tan Shaoting, seeing her indifferent attitude, had no choice.
"Yuanyuan, these are some prescriptions I wrote down from memory; these are used where we're from. Check them out when you have time, if you can find any of these herbs, make sure to keep them.
I said the medicine from our place can bring people back from the brink of death here; you might not believe it, but it's true.
These recipes were forced upon me to memorize as a child."
Now he really regrets not learning more, but there's no medicine for regret.
Su Yuanyuan flipped through the thick notebook, which even had drawings of herbs, so it was much easier.
Suddenly, she noticed some of them looked very similar to plants in her space on that plot of land.
She flipped through eagerly. Truly, most of them were in her space.
Su Yuanyuan felt extremely lucky now, thankful that she hadn't touched those before.
Seeing this girl take interest, Tan Shaoting explained by her side.
"Actually, it's useless to just have these herbs, right? I think I saw that they're all for Alchemy."
Tan Shaoting rubbed Su Yuanyuan's head, "In this world, you just use Divine Sense to mix them according to the prescription proportions and that's enough of a result."
"Divine Sense?"
Tan Shaoting took out some ordinary herbs from the space for Su Yuanyuan to demonstrate.
"Oh, so that's how it is, I got it."
Su Yuanyuan experimented a bit herself and it worked out.
"Yuanyuan, don't take this lightly; you need to look at it later, try to memorize it, and remember what the herbs look like."
Tan Shaoting reassured her again with concern.
"Got it, I'll definitely memorize it." If she didn't have those herbs, she might really take it lightly, but since her space had them, she had to learn. Plus, looking at it once isn't too hard. It's doable.
Tan Shaoting felt reassured seeing the little girl was taking it seriously.
"I have some notes on the Array too; I'll give those to you. Check them out when you have time."
Su Yuanyuan took them and looked; the messy lines were truly brain-melting.
She looked at a few, and if she didn't understand, she asked Tan Shaoting.
This made Tan Shaoting very impressed; he didn't expect the girl could instantly find the key points. Is this talent? He himself only knew a few ordinary skills, feeling embarrassed.
The two sat on the bed discussing, anyway, Tan Shaoting liked that Su Yuanyuan was attentive.
By evening, this time Su Yuanyuan cooked dumplings for Tan Shaoting using the hotel's pot, which attracted the locals with the aroma, especially the beef and scallion ones.
"How is it? Is it tasty?"
"I still like braised beef."
"Hmm, braised beef is convenient for you to eat. Keep it to satisfy your cravings."
After eating, Tan Shaoting shamelessly didn't leave.
"You practice, I'll watch over you."
"No, I'll stay with you."
"Stay with me for what? When I sleep, you practice."
He had the nerve to say he was staying with her.
Though it's inconvenient here too, it's at least much more convenient than his dorm.
Tan Shaoting smiled and nodded, knowing the girl just wanted to send him away. She's still young, and he understood.
The next morning, Su Yuanyuan made sour cabbage meat dumplings for Tan Shaoting; he loved them and ate quite a few with chili oil.
Just as they finished breakfast, there came a knock on the door.
Tan Shaoting opened the door to find a comrade, which made his mood turn sour; he was about to leave.
Their tacit understanding needed no words; just a look was enough.
"Who is it?"
"Yuanyuan, I have to leave."
Su Yuanyuan frowned; he previously mentioned they'd have three days off after a mission, so why was he leaving again after just returning yesterday?
"Be careful, I'll also be leaving in the next few days."
Tan Shaoting nodded; he hadn't even had a chance to be close to the little girl, and now he had to leave. He began to doubt his decisions.
But regardless, he had to leave immediately now.
"Alright, take care."
"Don't worry, I'll head straight back this time."
This year has brought so much harvest. Although there's still a lot in the space, she has added quite a bit over the years.
Tan Shaoting turned to leave, then suddenly looked back at the concerned little girl, and turned to leave once more.
After watching them leave, Su Yuanyuan lay in bed, but felt unsettled. She sat up and went straight to the train station.
Rather than worrying here, it's better to leave; that way, she wouldn't feel so restless.
Su Yuanyuan actually thought about joining, but felt it wasn't free enough and wasn't suitable for her. That's why she refused Zhang Chunsheng again.
She rushed back to the hotel to check out after buying a ticket for an hour later.
At this time, Tan Shaoting was in a meeting; this time the problem was really significant and dangerous.
"Xiao Tan, I hope this time you can convince Xiao Su. If not, we'll have to assign you another female colleague to cooperate with you."
"I don't need anyone to cooperate with me. I can do it myself."
"Xiao Tan, it's not about what you believe you can do."
Tan Shaoting looked directly at Zhang Chunsheng. "I don't want unfamiliar people dragging me down; they haven't gone through our kind of training. Will I complete the task or have to cooperate with her? In moments of danger, can I leave on my own, or do I have to think about how to get her out?"
Zhang Chunsheng was left speechless.
"Xiao Tan. Is Xiao Su a possibility?"
"No, I won't let her participate in dangerous matters."
Zhang Chunsheng was infuriated and nearly toppled over, "This is a two-person task."
"I said, I can complete it alone."
"Go get ready," said Zhang Chunsheng, leaving.
Tan Shaoting frowned as he watched Zhang Chunsheng leave. He had a premonition he was going to see Yuanyuan.
He wanted to rush out, but his squad leader held him back.
"This time it's too dangerous."
"Can't one of you cooperate with me?"
"Us? We're just a bunch of rough guys."
"I've said it, I want to go alone; I really don't want anyone holding me back."
