Chapter 60 Chen Tang nervously grasped Li Hong’s hand.

Chen Tang saw the villagers below risking their lives to save people.

She bit her lip and stood up in the rain: "Why are you panicking? We are all female soldiers. Do we just cry when we encounter problems?

The people here need us, we can't just sit there and wait for death, is there anyone willing to join me in helping the villagers who need our help?"

Li Hong also stood up: "I'll go with you."

Xu Ting snorted coldly: "You make it sound so easy!"

She was soaked all over and was wearing tight clothes, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable. How could she have the mood to save others?

Shi Bing stood up: "Comrade Chen Tang is right, we are soldiers, how can we retreat in the face of disaster?"

She was originally the leader of this team, and since the words had been taken away by Chen Tang, she naturally had to speed up her actions.

When those who were unwilling saw those who were willing, they stood up hesitantly. Those who were afraid went to take care of the elderly, and those who mustered up the courage followed Chen Tang and Li Hong to help the villagers.

In fact, they didn't know how to carry out disaster relief, but when they saw villagers taking out ropes and shovels from their homes that were not flooded to dig the soil, they came over to help.

The driver was also a soldier. He had already organized a group of people with the male soldiers from the art troupe to help with disaster relief. He was very surprised to see several female soldiers arriving. He immediately pointed out several safer places for them to move the groceries.

This mudslide was not particularly large. The water flowed backwards along the concave part in the middle, and the house covered by mud in the front was revealed.

As people were dug out one by one, their families cried so hard that they almost died.

The way back was blocked by the collapsed mountain, so now everyone could only clear the place in the rain.

The educated youth spontaneously boiled hot water for them.

Most rural families did not have extra clothes, and the clothes that the educated youth had were not enough for all the villagers.

The people in the art troupe could only endure the stickiness on their bodies and dry their clothes by the stove with hot water.

Suddenly, there was a noise outside. Chen Tang and Li Hong looked at each other, wrapped their military jackets tightly and walked out.

The educated youth site is located on high ground and was not affected much by the disaster. At this moment, many villagers gathered there.

The people quarreling were the educated youth, female soldiers from the art troupe and villagers.

Because almost the entire village was flooded, so many people were cold and hungry, and they could not hold on any longer in the heavy rain to rescue the people.

The village chief took the lead in borrowing food from the educated youth, saying that he would return it to them after cleaning up the house.

But the educated youth were not stupid. They only had so much food, which was not enough for them to eat on weekdays.

Even if all the stored food was cooked, it would only be enough for the villagers to eat three meals a day.

In addition, the road in front of the village was blocked. Who knew when they could get out? What if they had to wait for several days? Wouldn’t they starve to death?

After much arguing, the educated youth took a step back and took out a bag of sweet potatoes and gave them to the village chief. As long as they were cooked into porridge, it would be fine for everyone to have a bite.

But no one cares about the military region’s art troupe.

The female soldiers usually didn't eat much in order to maintain their figure, and they also helped the villagers clear mud and rocks, so they were already starving. Seeing that the educated youth and the village chief ignored them, naturally some people came forward to talk about them.

Shi Bing and the driver Xiao Liu went up to discuss with the educated youth and planned to use the money to buy a bag of sweet potatoes.

But Xu Ting, who had suffered an injury in her early years, was unwilling to eat sweet potatoes and insisted on eating white flour or refined rice.

It just so happened that Shi Bing had enough money to buy refined rice.

She herself had never eaten sweet potatoes since she was a child, so she thought it would be fine to buy a bag of refined rice.

This annoyed the educated youth.

People who have refined rice and white flour have no shortage of money.

Some of their homes are even located in military areas.

During the disaster, Shi Bing had to buy refined rice at a normal price, but he also had to cook rice and vegetables. Who could afford this?

"You can eat it or not, there are only sweet potatoes. How hard is it to buy white flour? We can't bear to eat it ourselves, and you buy it at the original price, and you also want us to cook for you. Do you think we are fools?"

Shi Bing quickly said, "Comrade, don't be angry, sweet potatoes are just sweet potatoes."

Xu Ting yelled at the side: "Can't I give more money? I don't like sweet potatoes. They don't taste good at all."

Chen Tang had eaten sweet potatoes before. The sweet potatoes at that time were not as sweet and delicious as those in later generations. The taste was really average.

But it is really filling.

Shi Bing was also feeling annoyed, and his usually gentle expression seemed a little cracked.

"Well, I only have enough money to buy sweet potatoes. If you want to eat white flour or refined rice, you have to spend three times as much and buy them from someone else."

Xu Ting snorted and took money out of her pocket: "Buy it if you want."

For a large sum of money, there are still people willing to help Xu Ting make white flour and refined rice.

Others followed suit and bought white flour with their own money.

Chen Tang didn't eat white flour, and she had money in her pocket, but all the people in the village gathered here, and the female soldiers spent money like water, which might attract the attention of some second-rate people.

She and Li Hong had dinner together. Because there were too many people, they had to squeeze into one room and sleep against the wall.

There were no lights on at night.

The female soldiers felt unsafe, so they went to the toilet together.

It was a rare night without rain.

Chen Tang was not sleeping soundly when suddenly someone quietly pushed the door open.

Li Hong moved her hands, but Chen Tang held her down and signaled her to pretend she didn't see it.

All the people sleeping in their room are women. It would be fine for the thief to steal some money and leave. There is no need to come out and be the scapegoat. The most important thing is to ensure your own safety.

Everyone's clothes were half wet, and leaning against the cold wall, who could fall asleep so quickly?

There were definitely more than just the two of them awake.

The man fumbled around on the hangers of clothes, but probably didn't find anything, so he walked towards the female soldier's position intentionally.

Chen Tang couldn't help but hold Li Hong's hand tightly.

The other party was very familiar with the place where the female soldier slept and touched things very quickly, so he must be a repeat offender.

Just as he touched one of the female soldiers, she screamed in fear, picked up her clothes and started beating him.

The noise was so loud that it was difficult for others to pretend to be asleep. Those who wanted to light lamps went to light them, and those who wanted to catch people went to catch people.

But unexpectedly, the man was very slippery and escaped through the window.

Xu Ting hurriedly checked her bag and found that the money was gone.

She was so angry that she yelled, "Didn't you see someone coming in? You all are sleeping like pigs!"

"Who made you so rich during the day? Why didn't they steal from us but you? Don't you sleep like a pig?"

"That's right. She is arrogant and domineering on weekdays. She treats us like servants. Does she really think she is a rich lady?"

Everyone was venting their past conflicts and resentments at each other, and when they were about to start a quarrel, Shi Bing came out to smooth things over, and everyone went to sleep.

But no one wanted to be close to Xu Ting anymore, even Wang Xiaoyu didn't want to pay attention to her.

Xu Ting was angry and annoyed.

Before she was punished, everyone flattered her. After Shi Bing came, everyone started to flatter her!

She doesn't want to get along with people who change with the wind!
