Bi Qiao'an lay weakly in the ice and snow, watching the heavy snow bury her alive. Thinking back to her three years of solitary survival in the apocalypse, her consciousness gradually blurred. ...
Shen Yanming had absolutely no sense of trying to be a man in front of his wife. He pouted and said, "It hurts!"
Bi Qiaoan didn't need to hear his answer to know, because Lao Shen's face was pale and there was a little cold sweat on his forehead.
She didn't say anything, turned around and went back to the kitchen to bring out a bowl of white fungus soup, and fed it to Shen Yanming: "Eat something sweet to calm down."
Shen Yanming nodded, but instead of taking the spoon, he happily drank a spoonful from his wife's hand.
Zhang Heping, who was standing nearby, couldn't stand the couple's public display of affection and said sourly, "You two, that's enough, it's too sweet!"
Hearing this, Bi Qiaoan also felt that being sweet in front of someone who was about to break up seemed a bit too much. So she put the bowl and spoon in front of Shen Yanming and said, "You drink it yourself!"
Shen Yanming was so angry that he glared at Zhang Heping.
He finally had a chance to be taken care of by his wife, but Zhang Heping ruined it.
Poor Zhang Heping felt a chill run down his spine, making him shiver violently. His sense of danger told him he had to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible.
He gave Shen Yanming a fawning smile, and his hands moved even faster. In less than five minutes, he had finished the two large bowls of food.
He let out a burp, but before he could say anything, he received suspicious looks from the couple.
"Didn't you eat dinner?" Shen Yanming asked.
Zhang Heping originally didn't want to say it, but since he had already been exposed, there was nothing left to hide.
He nodded. "No, we've had a lot more patients with fractures and internal bleeding these past two days. We've been so busy that we haven't had time to eat."
Shen Yanming knew what had happened without even asking. He sighed, not expecting the situation to have deteriorated to this extent.
"You two should stay with the guard team for now, and don't go back to Qingyu Community. Chen Shunwei has already helped harvest the last bit of wheat in the fields, and it's all stored at his house."
He said it wasn't much, just about three-tenths of an acre's worth of stuff. He added that he'd bring it over to you in a couple of days, along with what you'd packed up. "Zhang Heping said.
Shen Yanming nodded, indifferent but not saying no. However, he still reminded Zhang Heping, "If things get chaotic outside, don't run back and forth. Everything's fine here, you don't need to worry about it."
Then he turned and went into the bedroom, took out a paper bag and handed it to Zhang Heping, "There are facekinis and sunglasses for you and Ji Kangyong inside."
Of course, these aren't the most important things; the two bottles of medicine inside are the real gems. While they can't cure impetigo completely, they can effectively inhibit its development. Give one bottle to Old Ji when you get back, and keep the rest for yourself.”
Zhang Heping took out two bottles, glanced at them, and, seeing their unremarkable appearance, didn't pay them any mind. He nodded and said, "Alright, it's fine to give both bottles to Lao Ji."
Shen Yanming smiled and said, "It's up to you to decide, but you won't get it next time you want it."
Zhang Heping's eyes darted around, and he stuffed one of the bottles into his pocket. "I was just joking."
Shen Yanming didn't press the matter further. He glanced at the time and asked, "Do you have to go to work during the day?"
"Yes, I'll be going. I just squeezed in a little time to come over. I should be leaving now."
"Alright then, I won't keep you any longer. Take care on your journey."
After Shen Yanming finished speaking, Bi Qiaoan took out a bag from the kitchen. "Inside are bread and ice jelly powder, as well as some chopped nuts and dried fruit. If you miss your mealtime, take this to fill your stomach. It's more filling than drinking plain water."
Zhang Heping took it and said with a smile, "It's kind of you two to think of so much for me, but I don't have any juice!"
Shen Yanming laughed and scolded, "Get lost! Where am I supposed to get you juice? Just go back and mix some brown sugar water with it."
"Okay, okay, but I don't have any brown sugar either!" Zhang Heping said deliberately.
Shen Yanming ignored him. "Are you going to say you didn't have hot water again? Since it's so troublesome, you might as well not eat it."
Zhang Heping chuckled, "How can that be? No matter how treacherous the road ahead, as long as there's food to eat, I'll forge ahead!"
"Alright, stop joking around and let's go. It'll be dawn soon if we don't leave!"
"Well, it's 2:30, we should go."
Shen Yanming went downstairs to see Zhang Heping off, escorted him to the parking lot, and only prepared to go home after watching him leave.
Before I even got downstairs, I heard the call for an emergency assembly.
Shen Yanming was confused and wanted to find out what had happened. Although he had been with the guard team for a month or two, he still only had a vague understanding of many things.
However, everyone was in a hurry and completely ignored his attempts to strike up a conversation. Left with no other option, Old Shen could only follow the crowd to the playground.
When he got there, he found that the guards were all standing in neat square formations, and he was the only one standing out from the crowd.
Qi Xili spotted Shen Yanming immediately. He gestured to Li Gangtie with his eyes, and Li Gangtie nodded before leaving.
"Why did you come here?" Li Gangtie asked.
"I heard the assembly call and saw them all running this way, so I wanted to come and ask what happened," Shen Yanming said.
Li Gangtie did not hide anything: "There have been several armed clashes in the city, and the police station is short-staffed, so we are requesting backup."
Shen Yanming didn't ask why; he knew it was just one of those few. He asked, "Should I go with them?"
Li Gangtie laughed, "What are you going there for? To deliver vegetables?"
Shen Yanming... feels like he's being subtly insulted.
In fact, he wasn't mistaken, because Li Gangtie's next question was: "So many wounds on your body, have they all healed?"
Shen Yanming pressed the tip of his tongue against his upper jaw for a long time before asking, "You know everything?"
"Yes, the guard captains were discussing how to reward you for your actions. In the middle of the night, they stayed up and discussed this matter for over an hour."
Shen Yanming was somewhat surprised and said, "How did they know! Also, there's no need to give them a reward."
"You hadn't even left the hospital when the police called. If the security detail didn't know about this, they would have let it go. But the key is that now that they know, they can't remain silent."
However, the nature of this matter is somewhat special, so a reward hasn't been decided yet.
Shen Yanming scratched his head, frowned, and said, "There's really no need for a reward. I guess the police station was worried that the matter involved the guards and might escalate, so they called us to let us know."
And I didn't do anything special. I tried to be a hero, but ended up looking like a coward. I feel unworthy of praise or encouragement.
"But no matter what, you prevented several people from getting injured and also saved their property."
Shen Yanming now really felt a toothache.
As for this outcome, well, what can I say? If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have impulsively stepped forward.
But he couldn't say these words to anyone other than his wife.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Yanming said, "Then please write me a letter of commendation. No need for other rewards, I want to keep a low profile."
