In her previous life, Jiang Xiachu loved Lu Huaiyan for ten years.
What she got in return was three years of a military marriage without seeing him, and even when she gave birth to their daug...
Jiang Xiachu stood in front of one of the tents and looked towards the entrance of the camp.
She had originally thought that after Lu Huaiyan came back, she would still keep a distance from him like she did when she was in the military area.
But now that she had received the news that he was back, she couldn't help but want to see if he was okay.
After all, the front line is dangerous.
Jiang Xiachu pursed her lips and tried to see Lu Huaiyan and Pei Yunchen through the gap in the crowd.
As a result, she looked for a long time but didn't see those familiar figures.
Jiang Xiachu couldn't help but frown.
Soon, the soldiers walked into the camp one after another. Many wounded had been put on stretchers and were being carried to the medical tent by medical staff.
More and more people came in, but Jiang Xiachu never saw those people.
She had a complicated expression and felt extremely strange in her heart.
At this time, most of the soldiers have already rushed back, so why is there no sign of Lu Huaiyan and the others?
Just when Jiang Xiachu was wondering, someone else also noticed that something was wrong.
An old lady looked around for a while, but she didn't see the figure she wanted to see. She frowned and asked, "Hey, where's Chief Lu? You're all back, but he's not back yet?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Huaiyan's comrade-in-arms immediately stood up, raised his voice, and explained: "Commander Lu took a few comrades deep behind enemy lines to rescue the captured soldiers. There is no news of their return yet."
"Now that the enemy has surrendered, we are not prepared to advance any further."
When Jiang Xiachu heard what the PLA soldier said, his face immediately darkened, and his heart became a little panicked. He subconsciously clenched his fists.
They are about to retreat, but Lu Huaiyan and the others have not returned yet.
What if he hasn't come back when they are ready to leave?
-
After the soldiers who went to support came back, the whole camp became much more lively. In addition, because all the battles were won this time, the atmosphere was also very relaxed.
There were not many wounded this time, so the military doctors and medical staff were busy. Jiang Xiachu was upset and knew that he was not in good condition, so he did not go to help.
She was sitting on a chair in the tent, now in a trance, with her face propped up and in a daze.
Lin Qingli and Qin Ningqian came in from outside carrying basins. When they saw Jiang Xiachu's dazed look, they immediately guessed what it was because.
The soldiers who won the battle today are back, and everyone is very happy.
The only reason Jiang Xiachu was so depressed could only be because of Lu Huaiyan.
Lin Qingli and Qin Ningqian exchanged glances, tacitly put the basins in their hands aside, walked to Jiang Xiachu's side, and sat down.
"Xia Chu, are you still worried?" Qin Ningqian looked at her sideways and asked in a gentle voice.
Jiang Xiachu pursed his lips, turned his head and looked at her. He didn't hide anything, nodded directly, and sighed, "Well, the enemy surrendered, and the comrades have all returned, but there is still no news from them. I'm worried that something has happened."
Moreover, news had already come from above that everyone was asked to evacuate the camp after a short rest. At that time, it would be even more difficult to get news about them.
Lin Qingli patted Jiang Xiachu on the shoulder, gave her a reassuring look, and then said: "Xiachu, Lu Huaiyan was able to lead his troops to win so many incredible victories, he will definitely be fine."
After that, she poured a glass of warm water for Jiang Xiachu, and then said: "Don't worry, it's not worth hurting your body. I'm sure everything will be fine."
Jiang Xiachu always had a bad feeling in his heart, and inexplicably felt that something bad was going to happen.
She took the cup from Lin Qingli's hand, then put it aside, with a serious look on her face, and said in a deep voice: "Qingli."
After she finished speaking, she turned her head and moved her gaze to Qin Ningqian, and then said, "Qianqian, the higher-ups just notified us to evacuate, and they will take us back soon. When the time comes, you two will follow the organization to evacuate as usual. I'll wait here."
"I will always feel uneasy if I don't see them return safely."
The tragic scene in her dream kept replaying before her eyes, and she was really worried.
When Qin Ningqian and Lin Qingli heard this, they shook their heads without saying anything and refused without any discussion: "No!"
This decision is ridiculous from any perspective.
No matter what, it is too dangerous for her, an arts soldier, to stay alone. She absolutely cannot do that.
Qin Ningqian frowned, his cold face full of worry, and said earnestly: "Xia Chu, it's too dangerous for you to stay alone. If you encounter anything, there will be no one to help you. Absolutely not!"
Lin Qingli nodded heavily and agreed repeatedly: "That's right, Xia Chu, we are good sisters. No matter what, I can't help you abandon it."
When Jiang Xiachu heard this, he raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows helplessly.
Although she knew that they both said that because they were worried about her, she really couldn't be with them.
If she stayed here alone, even if the situation was critical or she encountered danger, she could hide directly in the space for safety and nothing would happen.
But she couldn't guarantee that she could protect both of them.
Seeing the two people's determined expressions, Jiang Xiachu sighed helplessly, raised his hands and patted their shoulders one on the left and one on the right, and said softly: "Qingli, Qianqian, since I have decided to stay alone, it means I have made preparations. I am confident that I can go back alive, so don't worry."
Facing their suspicious eyes, Jiang Xiachu held up three fingers and said firmly, "I swear, I will definitely protect myself and come back safe and sound, okay?"
Lin Qingli and Qin Ningqian were almost crying because of Jiang Xiachu's anxiety.
Why didn’t I realize before that Jiang Xiachu was so stubborn?
She was left alone in this wilderness. What if she encountered a wild beast? How could she resist it alone?
Lin Qingli's eyes were red, and she clenched Jiang Xiachu's hand, "Xiachu..."
Jiang Xiachu smiled, raised his hand to rub her head, and comforted her: "Qingli, didn't you say last night that I was a god descended from heaven and was very magical? Why don't you believe me today? Do you think I would do something that I am not sure of?"
After hearing what Jiang Xiachu said, Lin Qingli suddenly calmed down.
She raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, sniffed and said, "Xia Chu, are you sure?"
Jiang Xiachu nodded without hesitation, raised the corners of his lips, and then said: "When have I ever lied to you?"
Lin Qingli finally relaxed, "Okay then."
Pei Yunchen and Lu Huaiyan have not returned yet. They have grown up with Xia Chu since she was a child and regard her as a younger sister. They will definitely protect her.
Thinking of this, Lin Qingli felt more at ease.
