Chapter 233 How could he come back?
He was relieved to learn that Lu Yuan was not in mortal danger.
Since water was readily available in the space, Qiao Manman took a wet towel and wiped Lu Yuan clean.
After the dirt was removed, the bruises on his body became more noticeable. Qiao Manman didn't treat him; she just moistened his lips with water, changed him into a pair of shorts, and then sent him out of the space.
Tell me, how tired he must be. He's usually such a vigilant person, but after being in different environments repeatedly, he didn't react at all.
It's also possible that he trusted Qiao Manman too much and felt that she wouldn't put him in any danger.
Qiao Manman entered the space again, stewed a small hen in a pressure cooker, and cooked millet porridge on the stove.
She used mutated millet, and also added lotus seeds and soybeans. After the rice porridge was cooked, she added red dates and raisins.
After a moment's hesitation, the dirty clothes still took out the space.
Qiao Manman glanced at the time; the party was already halfway through. She was slightly disappointed that she hadn't been able to see the performance. Calmly, she took out some ordinary millet and started cooking porridge on the stove.
Then the system announced: "Congratulations, host, points increased! Host, your man is really awesome, single-handedly thwarting the female lead's conspiracy."
Qiao Manman smirked, "Didn't you see how badly he's injured? The female lead clearly didn't intend to let him come back!"
The host chuckled awkwardly, "Well then, hurry up and sign in!"
"Everyone, sign in!"
"Congratulations, host, you have obtained..."
Qiao Manman didn't listen carefully, but in short, the space area doubled, plus several mineral veins, spiritual flowers and herbs, and a mutated orchard.
Spiritual flowers and herbs? Qiao Manman had never even heard of them, let alone seen them. According to the system's introduction, they could all be used in medicine, but with her current level, she could only admire them.
The fruits in the mutant orchard are barely recognizable by variety, but they are just too unique.
The bright red loquats, as red as fire, and the fragrant lemons, gleaming with a metallic sheen.
Oranges the size of a thumb, with skin as thin as paper, split open like an akebia quinata to reveal caviar-like flesh, and sweet peaches as clear as crystal.
Beautiful yet eerie.
Qiao Manman took out a loquat, peeled it, and put it in her mouth. As soon as she bit into it, sweet juice entered her mouth.
Its sweet taste is refreshing. What's even better is that it leaves you feeling warm all over after eating it.
It can be said that mutated fruits are richer in energy than grains.
After finishing one, Qiao Manman opened the window to air out the room.
Five minutes later, he returned to the room to check on Lu Yuan. Finding him still unconscious, he moved a small stool to sit beside him and casually picked up a book to pass the time.
Meanwhile, Meng Peiyu went to see the performance under pressure, hoping to see Qiao Manman looking distraught. However, Lu Yuan returned instead.
How could he come back? In his past life, without her intervention, Lu Yuan had almost died on the spot.
He made his own arrangements for this life, so how did he manage to return so looking so radiant? Not a single member of the team he led out was harmed!
Meng Peiyu was completely baffled and felt that things shouldn't have turned out this way.
"Lu Yuan has made a contribution and will probably be promoted again. Junyan has had some bad luck with his mission recently. Although the leaders haven't said much, they still have some reservations and feel that he is not worthy of his position."
"Having done so much, is it really impossible for me to reach that position?"
Meng Peiyu closed her eyes, unwilling to accept it.
"Wait a minute, it seems Lu Yuan developed a hidden ailment in his past life because of this mission. He also fell into the icy lake this time, so... hehehe, Qiao Manman is going to be a widow for life!"
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but chuckle.
Seeing her smile, Chen Junyan felt a weight lift from his heart: "Isn't it interesting?"
"Yes, it's very interesting."
Meng Peiyu twitched her fingers slightly, and a wisp of black smoke drifted out of the auditorium, heading straight towards a village a thousand miles away.
"Qiao Manman, I'm going to make you taste the suffering and pain I endured back then!"
Backstage, Li Dai looked around at the audience for a long time but didn't see many new faces. She asked her friend next to her, "Which one is Lu Yuan's wife?"
"I don't know. I heard she's really good-looking, but look at the audience, there's no one who looks like a flower!"
"Don't look, Sister-in-law Lu isn't here. Battalion Commander Lu successfully completed his mission, and his wife is at home taking care of him!"
A look of joy flashed across Li Dai's face: "Sister-in-law, you mean, Lu Yuan isn't dead?"
"Yes, he's not dead, he's back safe and sound. But Dai Dai, he's married now, so don't worry about him!"
Hearing this, Li Dai's eyes dimmed: "But I can't find anyone more outstanding than him!"
"When a man and woman live together, what matters is whether they are considerate of each other. What's the use of a man being outstanding if he treats you badly?"
Lu Yuan is usually cold and aloof, but he might have a terrible temper in private and beat his wife at the drop of a hat. If you marry him, you might not have a good life.”
Li Dai bit her lip: "Battalion Commander Lu is upright and awe-inspiring, definitely not the kind of person your sister-in-law described!"
"So what if it's not him? We're not in the same boat as him. What your sister-in-law means is, look ahead, maybe one day you'll meet the right person!"
Li Dai remained silent, using silence as her defense. Having held onto these thoughts for so long, letting go was no easy task.
I didn't come to my senses until I heard the host announce the program.
"Next, let's welcome Comrade Li Dai from the cultural troupe to perform a solo song, 'My Motherland'!"
Li Dai smiled brightly and walked confidently and firmly onto the stage.
Her singing voice was melodious and moving, and a few lines of lyrics depicted the beautiful landscape of the motherland, which led everyone to sing along.
Meng Peiyu seemed to remember something, and her fingers twitched. Turning to Chen Junyan, she said, "Darling, I will definitely make you stand at a height that everyone will look up to!"
The party continued, but several leaders sitting in the front row left early.
Some returned to their units to continue their official duties, while others brought gifts and visited the family compound.
Qiao Manman was engrossed in her book when she heard a knock at the door. She quickly put her sketchbook away and went to open the door with a worried look on her face.
"Distinguished leaders, what brings you all here?" Qiao Manman was not intimidated at all by the group of people at the door and invited them inside.
"We... came to see Lu Yuan." If tonight's itinerary hadn't been booked two months in advance, they would have wanted to kidnap Lu Yuan and take him to the hospital for a checkup after hearing the report.
"That kid is too stubborn. He absolutely refused to go to the hospital. We only felt safe enough to let him come back after hearing that the three injured people were alright."
Qiao Manman led the people to the bedroom, lifted the blanket, and let the leaders see the injuries on Lu Yuan's body.
"His entire body was covered in bruises! I have no idea how he got beaten up like that!"
Qiao Manman parted Lu Yuan's hair, revealing the hideous wound: "His hair was sticky, I thought it was because the conditions outside were bad and he hadn't cleaned it."
When I was drying his hair, I discovered that he had been severely injured in the head; there were several wounds, and you could see the bone!
