At other times, Zhou An would not be stingy in sharing food with other comrades.

But when he thought that this was carefully prepared for him by Xu Zhixia, and his return date was uncertain, he felt reluctant to leave.

He hid the jar behind him inconspicuously, trying to hide it from other people's eyes.

Little did he know that this would make him more conspicuous, and everyone's eyes on him changed.

Zhou An cursed in his heart, what a bunch of bastards.

Xu Zhixia didn't know what happened to Zhou An. She had been feeling uneasy since Zhou An left.

Even if I sit at my desk, I can't finish a manuscript in half a day.

Just at this moment, there was a slight knock on the door.

She reacted, got up and went to open the door, and saw a familiar face.

"Aunt Ma, why are you here?"

Xu Zhixia was a little surprised and asked in confusion.

Aunt Ma smiled with her eyes curved, teasing, "You newlyweds are different. Before Captain Zhou left for his mission, you bothered me to come spend more time with you."

Hearing this, Xu Zhixia's face suddenly turned red.

She felt a little embarrassed, but she couldn't help but feel a sweetness welling up in her heart, as if she had eaten honey.

Aunt Ma wanted to continue teasing her, but seeing her expression, she tactfully said nothing.

But I couldn't help but sigh in my heart that Captain Zhou was really caring.

With Aunt Ma's company, Xu Zhixia felt much better.

The whole day passed by while we talked and laughed.

But Aunt Ma always had to go home, and after she left, the noisy atmosphere suddenly disappeared.

The house became empty, making people feel uncomfortable.

But when Zhou An was at home, he had no sense of presence.

Why can't she accept this departure?

Xu Zhixia thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out.

I tossed and turned at night and finally fell asleep.

When I woke up the next day, Haha, I owed one thing after another.

She took out a brand new diary and wrote a horizontal line neatly on it.

She wanted to record it in correct characters to see how many days Zhou An would take to come back.

It would be best if you can’t finish writing a single correct character.

Often when people miss someone, time seems to pass especially slowly.

For several days, there was no news about Zhou An.

Just when Xu Zhixia was feeling a little anxious, a storm suddenly hit the island.

Because some time ago, Xu Zhixia learned from those two foreigners that there would be a storm.

Therefore, the leaders had already made preventive plans and there were no safety issues.

But anyone who has experienced a storm knows that the feeling of oppression brought by nature cannot be described in words.

Even though you know there will be no problem, you can still feel scared.

Not long after Zhou An left, Jiang Hanzhi also followed him on a mission.

So fortunately Xu Zhixia was not alone. She held Haohao in her arms and locked the doors and windows tightly.

It was her first time encountering such a big scene, and she was already scared enough.

But when she saw Haohao trembling in her arms, she felt a surge of courage in her heart.

Before the storm hit, Xu Zhixia had prepared enough food and water.

Just wait quietly for a week, the storm will pass and everything will be over.

But... things didn't go so smoothly.

In the evening, just after Xu Zhixia and Haohao finished their meal, they heard a violent knock on the door.

She thought it was Zhou An who came back, so she hurried to open the door.

When I opened the door, I saw a strange face, a man who looked to be about twenty years old.

He was soaked by the rain, but his eyes were determined.

He asked anxiously, "Sister-in-law, do you have any medicine here?"

He and Gangzi came out to carry out the task of clearing the waterway, but unexpectedly a big tree suddenly fell and hit Gangzi.

This place is not close to the infirmary, and if we go back and forth... it might be too late.

He could only knock on doors to see if anyone had any medicine that could be used to deal with the problem.

But in this age when it is difficult to even get enough to eat, who would have medicine on hand?

When Qiangzi thought that this was the last household, he couldn't help but feel a sense of despair in his heart.

Xu Zhixia frowned, knowing that time was urgent, and quickly asked, "What kind do you need?"

Before coming to the island to join the army, she prepared some medicines in advance.

But those were commonly used, and she wasn't sure if the other party could use them.

Qiangzi seemed to see hope and quickly explained the situation briefly.

"My comrade was hit by a tree and is now unconscious."

Xu Zhixia thought for a moment and said, "How's his heartbeat and pulse?"

Qiangzi was dumbfounded. He had never understood these things.

It's great that you can come here to find medicine.

Seeing that he didn't know anything, Xu Zhixia sighed helplessly.

"Wait for me."

After saying this, she hurried to the bedroom, took out the medicine box and went downstairs.

"Take me to see it." She said without hesitation.

Qiangzi's eyes lit up and he took off his raincoat directly when he saw the thin Xu Zhixia.

"Sister-in-law, please put this on first."

This was not the time to be polite, so Xu Zhixia accepted his kindness generously.

After putting on the raincoat, I walked into the heavy rain with him.

Xu Zhixia wrapped his raincoat tightly and walked forward with gritted teeth.

The rain wet her cheeks, making it difficult for her to see the road ahead.

Even with a raincoat on, I was soaked.

If the wind had been stronger, she had no doubt that she would have been blown away.

Not long after they walked, they arrived at a temporary house.

As they walked in one after another, they saw a man lying unconscious on the ground.

He looked like a minor, his face was pale and his breath was weak.

Xu Zhixia's face changed drastically. She took off her raincoat and squatted down in front of him.

Place your index finger on his carotid artery and feel his pulse.

After completing the calculation, I breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that it was not a big problem.

He took the medicine box beside him, first disinfected the wound caused by the tree, and then bandaged it with a bandage.

After doing all this, the soldier lying on the ground's breathing also calmed down.

"Is this...is this okay?" Li Zi, who went to call Xu Zhixia, spoke in amazement.

Just now, he thought Gangzi would not survive.

Xu Zhixia nodded, visibly relieved: "It's not a big deal."

"But you should rest well during this period. It's best to see a doctor to see if there is anything wrong with your brain."

Although according to her observation, there were no serious injuries such as fractures on the surface.

But she couldn't guarantee parts like the brain.

When Qiangzi heard her say this, he showed a grateful expression.

He said sincerely: "Sister-in-law, if it weren't for you, I really don't know what to do."
