Chapter 220 - Border Stations
Chapter 220: Border Stations
Translator: Lonelytree
This experience was new for Mo Li so she was willing to take the initiative to attempt it. As the leader, she could have stayed comfortably at the base but for the experience, she volunteered to move deeper into the borderline.
The soldiers stationed along the borderline were sparse and very far from the main base. The journey was difficult because there was no tarred road. The mountain and dirt roads were muddy due to the rain. It took the team almost an afternoon before they reached their first destination.
Quan Yu stayed at the main base and he was gloomy. He wanted to go along with Mo Li but Ah Si was adamant that he could not do that. Ah Si worried that Sha Kun might ambush Quan Yu when he was away from the protection of the main base.
Speaking of which, they had already identified the traitor, however, they hadn’t made a move because they didn’t want to spook the traitor. Therefore, Sha Kun theoretically would know about Quan Yu’s visit to the border through the traitor. Quan Yu’s team was prepared, if Sha Kun’s people dared to come after Quan Yu at the border, they would have a one way trip..
“Big brother Yu.” Lu Qin came to Quan Yu’s camp with her medical bag. Quan Yu nodded and said nothing. He was stuck on worrying about Mo Li.
“Brother Yu, I’ve made this pork belly lotus seed soup myself. It’s good for your health. Let’s have lunch together!”
The soup Lu Qin brought was very rich in flavor but after having Mo Li’s cooking, Quan Yu was no longer interested in other people’s cooking.
“I wonder if she has good food over there…” Lu Qin heard Quan Yu mumble to him and her expression changed. Who is he talking about? Actually Lu Qin had the answer, she just refused to accept it.
…
When Mo Li’s team arrived at the border station, she was welcomed by a wonderful fragrance. Uncle Hai, who was the commander of this station came to welcome them.
Mo Li was surprised by the number of soldiers stationed here. There were more than 20 of them.
“Erm…” Seeing the welcoming banner and the whole roasted lamb, Mo Li was at a loss. Some of the soldiers didn’t look that old either. The youngest among them looked around 2 years older than Mo Li.
The soldiers assumed the leader of the volunteer doctors would be an old man but when they saw it was a pretty little girl, some of them even whistled, who were then rewarded with a smack by Uncle Hai.
“These brats haven’t seen a real woman for a long time already, Doctor Mo, ignore them!”
Mo Li’s team and the soldiers settled for lunch of roast lamb. After that Uncle Hai arranged for them to rest. After one hour of resting, Mo Li and her team began their work. They offered body checks and vaccinations to the soldiers. At night, Mo Li gave the soldiers lecture on first aid. She related them to the problems the soldiers might face on a daily base. When the lecture was over, it was already 10 pm.
The next day, Mo Li’s team hurried to the next border station and repeated the same thing.
In just a few day, Qin Xuan was already tanned from the sun but Mo Li was still as fair as ever.

“Are you really human? How come it doesn’t seem like you’re affected by this operation at all?” Pearl River and Yun Quan were both close to the sea but the living conditions couldn’t be more different. Many of the volunteer nurses and doctors couldn’t acclimatize to the change. Only Mo Li appeared unaffected.
The volunteer doctor’s job was not easier than a coroner’s job. Even for Qin Xuan, who had to bustle about daily also felt the job was more tiring than forensic work.
…
For 3 consecutive days, Quan Yu didn’t receive any call from Mo Li. Lin Qi promised him that Mo Li was very safe but Quan Yu couldn’t silence his worrying heart. In the end, Quan Yu grabbed Ah Si’s car and drove out from the base.
…
On the other end, Mo Li enjoyed the salty sea breeze and stretched lazily. She had no idea when she’d be able to return. She played lazily on her phone. The signal was very unstable so she couldn’t contact the outside world. Mo Li decided to turn lemons into lemonade and enjoy the peace and quiet.
…
Back at the base, Lu Qin still hadn’t given up, but this time, she arrived at an empty camp. When she heard the helpless Ah Si ask Lin Qi to arrange a new ride for him, Lu Qin’s expression was extremely ugly.
“Where’s Brother Yu?” Lu Qin demanded.
Ah Si glanced at Lu Qin and sighed. He tried his best to make his words sound more tactful. “Miss Lu, we’re not sure about young master’s whereabouts either. You’ll have to find him yourself.”
