Chapter 208 "Fairy" in the painting

A moment later, Cheng Lanzhou looked up at her, gently stroked her cheek, and comforted her, "I agree with your suggestion. It's really unnecessary for them to know about this, so as not to add to their sadness."

Jiang Yutang's eyes widened in surprise, and she couldn't help but ask, "Don't you have any other feelings about the original owner's disappearance?"

Cheng Lanzhou frowned and sighed helplessly.

"It would be a lie to say I had no feelings. After learning the truth, I always felt that I was the one who held her back. If it weren't for me, she might have had a different life."

After saying that, he held Jiang Yutang's hand tightly and looked at her with a firm gaze: "But it is precisely because of her existence that I understand that I should cherish the person in front of me. I will not make the same mistake again, and I will cherish you."

Jiang Yutang felt a warmth in her heart, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears.

She leaned on Cheng Lanzhou's shoulder, feeling the warmth of his palm, and felt a sense of peace in her heart.

Just then, her phone rang.

She answered the phone, and her grandfather's voice came through the receiver: "Xiaoyu, when is Lanzhou being discharged from the hospital? Invite him over for a meal."

"The doctor said it would take at least another two weeks."

"Why are you in such a hurry to be discharged?" Grandpa said with a smile. "Getting well is the most important thing. Don't rush. I'm fine here, so don't worry about me."

"Okay, Grandpa."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yutang thought to himself that he should at least go back to ancient times and let Cheng Daier and the others know that he was safe.

Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Yutang deliberately chose the middle of the night, when the hospital was least crowded, and pulled Cheng Lanzhou, who was studying the TV, aside: "Pack up the medicine, we need to go back first."

With everything ready, a familiar white light flashed, and the two instantly disappeared from the ward.

When I landed again, I could smell the familiar scent of the military camp.

The two exchanged a glance, and Jiang Yutang stepped forward and gently pulled open the tent flap. There was a group of soldiers patrolling outside.

When the soldier saw Jiang Yutang behind the curtain, he was stunned for a moment, then excitedly shouted, "Madam Cheng is out!"

The shouts quickly carried, and Cheng Daier rushed over immediately.

She rushed to Jiang Yutang, grabbed her arm, and asked anxiously, "How is Lanzhou?"

Jiang Yutang patted her hand reassuringly: "Lanzhou is fine now, go in and take a look."

Cheng Daier hurriedly entered the tent and saw Cheng Lanzhou sitting on the bed with a rosy complexion. She burst into tears of excitement.

"You're finally alright! You scared me to death!"

Seeing Cheng Dai'er's tearful face, Cheng Lanzhou gently comforted her, "I'm sorry to have worried you."

Jiang Huaiyu also rushed over upon hearing the commotion. Seeing that Cheng Lanzhou was unharmed, she felt relieved.

He turned to look at Jiang Yutang and asked with concern, "You must be exhausted too?"

Jiang Yutang smiled and shook her head: "I'm fine. Once we finish up here, we can go back to Danzhou together."

Jiang Huaiyu looked up at the distant wasteland, which had once been a battlefield filled with the smoke of gunpowder, but was now peaceful.

He sighed softly, his voice full of anticipation: "Yes, I can finally go home."

In the following days, all the gatherings in the military camp were held in the tent where Cheng Lanzhou was resting.

Although he had recuperated in a modern hospital for half a month, the injury that pierced his abdominal cavity was already serious. After returning to ancient times, Cheng Lanzhou was still unable to get out of bed and could only handle affairs by sitting on the headboard.

He was always concerned about the end of the war and wanted to arrange the follow-up tasks as soon as possible so that he could lead everyone back to Danzhou.

Fortunately, the follow-up matters proceeded very smoothly. The soldiers cleaned up the battlefield, reinforced the defenses, and inventoried the supplies, and everything was done in an orderly manner.

Once Cheng Lanzhou's injuries have healed a bit more, the group can immediately set off to return to Danzhou.

That day, when Jiang Yutang was sorting through the medicines she had brought, she discovered that there were very few anti-inflammatory drugs and painkillers left.

She looked at the medicine bottle, walked to the bedside and said to Cheng Lanzhou, "We'll go back to the modern world tonight. We still have enough time to rest there for a while. Once your injuries are completely stable, we can head straight back to Danzhou next time we come back."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Lanzhou nodded in agreement.

He then summoned a trusted soldier and ordered in a deep voice, "For the next three days, no one is allowed to disturb my wife and me. We have important matters to attend to."

The soldier was stunned for a moment, then his cheeks flushed red. He quickly bowed and replied, "Yes! I understand!" After saying that, he retreated cautiously.

How could you say that!

Jiang Yutang was both angry and embarrassed, and gently slapped Cheng Lanzhou's arm: "If you say that, the soldiers will definitely start to misunderstand!"

Cheng Lanzhou grasped her hand, a sly smile in his eyes: "Only by saying this will they not dare to disturb us, and only then can we stay in your world peacefully for a while longer."

Jiang Yutang was sharp-tongued, but she knew he had a point.

Late at night, the two packed their things and returned to the modern world.

In a modern hospital, with professional doctors checking and changing dressings daily, and modern medical equipment to aid recovery, Cheng Lanzhou's recovery speed far exceeded expectations.

The doctors who treated him were amazed by his recovery ability, but little did they know the reason behind it.

A few days later, after a doctor's examination, he informed Cheng Lanzhou that her wound was no longer a problem and that she could be discharged from the hospital as long as she took care of herself and avoided strenuous exercise.

Jiang Yutang immediately completed the discharge procedures and took Cheng Lanzhou straight to her grandfather's antique shop.

This was Cheng Lanzhou's first time walking on a modern street.

He was wearing a white T-shirt and jeans that Jiang Yutang had prepared for him. His jet-black hair was casually tied back with a hair tie, with a few strands falling in front of his forehead, making his features even more handsome.

Looking at the diverse pedestrians, speeding cars, and flashing neon lights on the street, his eyes were full of curiosity, like a child just entering the world, full of curiosity about everything in front of him.

Passersby, whether young girls or elderly women, couldn't help but take a second look at his unique temperament and appearance.

Noticing the gazes of those around her, Cheng Lanzhou looked at Jiang Yutang somewhat uncomfortably and asked in a low voice, "Is my hair too strange?"

"No!"

Jiang Yutang immediately retorted, staring straight at him: "Your hair is the best-looking, so black and shiny, much better looking than everyone else's!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Lanzhou smiled gently, her eyes filled with tenderness: "I'm glad you like it."

The two took a taxi to the antique shop.

Cheng Lanzhou leaned against the car window, her eyes glued to the rapidly receding scenery outside, and couldn't help but admire it in her heart:

This strange "carriage" runs fast and steadily; if it could be used on the battlefield, it would certainly be a weapon of great combat power.

Soon, the taxi arrived at the antique shop.

Jiang Yutang paid the money and led Cheng Lanzhou into the store.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Grandpa wearing reading glasses, sitting on the sofa watching TV.

Hearing the noise, Grandpa looked up and saw that they had returned. He immediately put down the remote control in his hand, stood up and greeted them: "You're back? Is Lanzhou feeling better?"

"Yes, she's already been discharged from the hospital," Jiang Yutang replied with a smile, leading Cheng Lanzhou to sit down on the sofa.

She had just sat down when her gaze inadvertently swept across the coffee table, then suddenly stopped.

On the coffee table was an unfolded ancient painting, and the man in the painting wearing armor looked exactly like Cheng Lanzhou!
