"Old senior, please forgive me for not being able to fulfill your wish!"
Ling Feng apologized solemnly, even bowing down!
Li Gensheng hurried forward to help Ling Feng up. "How can a soldier bow to a general? Get up quickly, don't say such things. Haha, I never expected this!"
After helping Ling Feng up, Li Gensheng quickly let go of his shoulder, took two steps back, and then looked Ling Feng up and down!
He then said in a deep voice, "To be able to see a general like you in my lifetime, I can die without regret!"
"Nonsense, old senior. It's getting dark. How about we stop here for now and let me check on the old lady's condition!"
Ling Feng helped Li Gensheng walk aside.
Li Gensheng was slightly stunned. "You'll check on the old woman?"
This naturally surprised Li Gensheng immensely. Originally, in Li Gensheng's eyes, Ling Feng was a figure of immense power. How could he personally examine an old woman at this moment? He would surely invite famous doctors!
Even with Ling Feng's influence, Li Gensheng believed that famous doctors from all over the world would flock to them, and perhaps his old lady would truly have a chance to survive!
However, Li Gensheng never expected that Ling Feng would personally take action!
Ling Feng frankly said, "I happened to inherit some medical skills before, and I'm quite confident in treating illnesses and saving lives!"
"Good, good! Saving lives is better than taking them!" Li Gensheng nodded repeatedly and then quickly called out to the old woman, Feng Qingya, behind him.
Feng Qingya, though she hadn't heard Li Gensheng speak, seemed to understand his every movement and expression. She leaned over with some confusion and then, with a beaming smile, gestured to Ling Feng using sign language!
Tang Ru, who was beside them, had already stopped crying and quickly said to Ling Feng, "Grandma Feng says you are a good husband, a good soldier, can fix cars, and are even more amazing than... than Grandpa!"
As she said the last part, Tang Ru felt a bit embarrassed to translate, as the old man was right there. It was indeed a bit awkward to say that!
However, Li Gensheng had no objections to this. He even gestured back and forth to the old woman, Feng Qingya.
Feng Qingya was initially extremely surprised. Then, her smile disappeared. Her gaze towards Ling Feng became one of utmost respect, and finally, she bowed deeply to Ling Feng!
This made Ling Feng quickly reach out to support her. "Old lady, please don't do this!"
Tang Ru was even more astonished. "You, does Grandpa know your identity?"
"Yes, they intended to come here to end their lives together. The old lady won't live for many more days, and the old man wants to accompany her through her last birthday before they both leave this world,"
Ling Feng transmitted these words to Tang Ru. Although his lips didn't move, Tang Ru heard them clearly.
Instantly, Tang Ru covered her mouth, and tears couldn't help but well up again.
Such a thing was incredibly shocking to Tang Ru!
So, it turned out that unwavering love until death truly existed in this world!
"Was the old lady's tongue cut off?"
Ling Feng had also carefully examined Feng Qingya's condition by this time.
Feng Qingya seemed to understand Ling Feng's lip movements. She smiled bitterly, shook her head, and sighed, as if to say that she could no longer speak!
Li Gensheng, standing beside her, didn't feel any inferiority. He only felt a pang of heartache for his old woman, but he still said with a proud expression.
"Eighty years ago, she went deep behind enemy lines and was captured by the Japanese. The Japanese tortured her, wanting to extract information from her. She would rather die than yield, and finally bit off her own tongue. She intended to commit suicide by biting her tongue, but I rescued her in time and pulled her back. From then on, she never spoke a word again!"
As Li Gensheng spoke, he couldn't help but feel guilty again, clearly still feeling that he hadn't arrived in time!
Ling Feng's heart trembled again. He respected such unyielding heroes the most, especially a female hero.
The methods used by the Japanese back then were extremely cruel, devoid of any humanity!
For the old hero to have survived and lived for so many years was truly not easy!
"What about her ears?"
Ling Feng continued to inquire. He didn't want to waste time. Although he could examine it himself, it would be much easier to treat if he could accurately pinpoint the cause of the illness!
"Oh, her ears were poisoned. That was about fifty years ago. At that time, I couldn't return home from the war zone. She suffered persecution from those villains, was captured and criticized, and was force-fed poison. Fortunately, her family saved her. Famous doctors also treated her at the time, but from then on, her hearing in her ears gradually worsened until she could hear nothing!"
Li Gensheng mentioned these events at this time. Although his expression was still somewhat sad, his words were already very calm.
The old lady, however, was tightly holding Ling Feng's hands, her emotions still very agitated, as if she had seen the leader she most admired back then!
Indeed, Ling Feng was now the faith of all soldiers in the war zone!
But in front of these old heroes, Ling Feng didn't feel he had anything to be praised for!
They were far greater than him!
"Alright, I understand. It's likely that the old lady's organ failure now is also related to the residual toxins from back then!"
Ling Feng said in a deep voice.
Li Gensheng's eyes lit up immediately. "That's right. It seems, esteemed general, your medical skills are truly extraordinary. You could determine the cause of the illness without taking her pulse!"
Ling Feng nodded and then began to take Feng Qingya's pulse. He then said in a deep voice, "Hmm, the organ failure is quite severe. The previous one wasn't ordinary sugar water, was it? There were also some special medicines?"
"Yes, they were bought by our children. They were also very expensive. I understand some of the medicinal properties, so I concocted some medicinal water myself. It should last for three days."
Li Gensheng gave a bitter smile and shook his head.
Having cared for someone chronically ill for so long, Ling Feng could completely understand Li Gensheng's ability to continue prolonging the old lady's life.
"Hmm, I can stop the deterioration of organ failure, but the recovery of her hearing will take time. To be able to speak again, she will need some regenerative medicinal liquid. I can have someone send it over!"
Ling Feng wasted no time and directly gave the two elders a shot of confidence!
"Regenerative medicinal liquid? That seems to be produced only by the Jishe Group, right? It's said to be extremely expensive! This... we can't waste such precious resources. Our soldiers are the ones who truly need these things!"
Li Gensheng's brows furrowed tightly, and he repeatedly shook his head!
Feng Qingya, standing beside him, also seemed to understand something and repeatedly shook her head, refusing Ling Feng.
"It's not expensive, don't worry. I am one of the directors of the Jishe Group," Tang Ru said directly to reassure them.
Li Gensheng's eyes widened in shock. "You..."
He then looked at Ling Feng and finally nodded with a bitter smile. "Heh heh, I should have realized it long ago. How could an ordinary woman be worthy of Ling Tianci!"
"Old senior, please don't worry about the expenses for the treatment. The most important thing is to give the old lady hope for recovery. I can now use the methods of Gu medicine to immediately restore the old lady's ability to speak and hear. She might become emotional later, so you need to be prepared!"
Ling Feng's comforting words settled.
Li Gensheng was already beyond shocked. "Can she really recover?!"
