Chapter 531: Someone died?
Just as Zhang Xiaoman was about to jump into the sea, Gu Yuehuai pulled her back and said, "Don't go."
Gu Yuehuai looked at the boundless dark sea with a frown. Facing the majestic power of nature, ordinary people would still feel fear. Even if they were familiar with water, it would be too hasty to go into the sea without any tools.
"But, but someone fell into the sea, that's a life. If we don't care about her..." Zhang Xiaoman's forehead was covered with cold sweat, her head was buzzing, and she was so frightened that she didn't know what to think.
She was afraid that someone would die because of her, and she was also afraid that she would be sent back by her superiors just after arriving at the military region.
Her husband was also a junior officer who had just been promoted. He had fought hard to earn all these honors and glory on the front lines. Was he going to lose them all for her, the wife he had just married? Then what was the difference between her and the unlucky star?
At this time, one of the military wives stood up and accused Gu Yuehuai: "Who are you? Zhang Xiaoman brought us here, so of course she will take us back! If you stop Wanting, who knows where she will be rushed to. Can you take this responsibility?"
The person who was speaking was a little short, with a sharp voice. When she spoke angrily with her hands on her hips, she sounded like a shrew.
Another dark-skinned military wife stood up, and her hesitant eyes fell on Zhang Xiaoman: "What Yu Niang said makes sense, Xiaoman, Shi Wanting is Colonel Shi's daughter, she's only eighteen years old, if she really dies, we'll all be in trouble."
The implication is: Xiaoman, you should go down to the sea and find someone as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late.
Zhang Xiaoman's eyes were red and her whole body was shaking like a sieve. She tried to break free from Gu Yuehuai's hand and go into the sea to save people.
Gu Yuehuai held her arm tightly, "I have already informed the sentry when I came here just now. They will take the equipment to rescue people. What is your intention in instigating Zhang Xiaoman to go into the sea to rescue people? Is this a blatant murder?"
Suddenly, the lighthouse emitted light, illuminating her glass-like cat's eyes.
Gu Yuehuai's voice was cold and full of dominance. Several military wives, led by Li Yu Niang, took two steps back, not daring to argue with her.
Zhang Xiaoman raised her sleeve to wipe her tears, looked at Gu Yuehuai with gratitude, and then looked at the sea anxiously.
Li Yu Niang gritted her teeth and snorted, "What murder? If there was any murder, it was Zhang Xiaoman. She knew we couldn't swim, but she still called us to pick up seafood. Now that someone is in trouble, it's useless no matter how much you try to argue."
Gu Yuehuai glanced back at her with a very indifferent expression, full of sarcasm and contempt.
"You are all married and adults, and you can be responsible for your own actions. The legs are on your bodies, so how can you blame others? Zhang Xiaoman is your parent? If I'm not mistaken, she should have told you not to go too deep, right?"
"You didn't listen, and now that something has happened you're trying to shirk responsibility?"
Gu Yuehuai's voice was neither loud nor soft, and was just heard by the rescue soldiers who came over.
However, now was not the time to discuss responsibility. They went into the sea with their equipment in a familiar manner, ready for rescue.
There was a lot of noise here, and many people who were resting rushed over here. When they heard that someone had fallen into the sea, bursts of sharp whistles spread far away, and more and more soldiers went into the sea to look for people.
Gu Yuehuai and Zhang Xiaoman stood side by side on the shore. As the sky darkened, the temperature began to drop significantly.
Zhang Xiaoman breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the soldiers go into the sea, hoping that the people could be rescued.
She rubbed her arms and turned to look at Gu Yuehuai. She wanted to ask her if she was cold, but when she saw that her hands were empty, she was surprised: "Where's the lobster? Did you throw it away?"
Gu Yuehuai shook his head and said calmly, "I didn't throw it away. I tied it up and threw it aside."
Zhang Xiaoman nodded and didn't ask any more questions. Her mind was on Shi Wanting again. However, dozens of minutes passed and the soldiers who went into the sea to look for people popped up from time to time, but there was no movement. Her heart sank to the bottom.
Such a long time is absolutely fatal for someone who has no knowledge of water.
"Yue Huai, you said, you..." Zhang Xiaoman choked up: "You said, Wanting won't really..."
She couldn't help but feel a strong sense of guilt. Today, after everyone had finished their meal, they said that they had just arrived at the military region and had not been to the beach yet. It happened to be low tide, so she volunteered to take people to the beach to pick up seafood.
Shi Wanting was not a military wife. She just happened to pass by and heard that they were going there, so she followed them.
A young girl of only eighteen years old ended her life so hastily, which made her extremely uneasy.
Gu Yuehuai lowered his eyes and glanced at her red eyes, not knowing how to comfort her. It had been too long, and in her opinion, Shi Wanting should be gone, but it was obviously not appropriate to say such discouraging words at this time.
Gu Yuehuai looked at her, frowned slightly, pursed his lips, squatted on the beach, and released his healing power.
Although the healing power can detect the surrounding environment through plants, she has no knowledge of water and it is impossible for her to risk her life for a stranger. In this case, using the healing power would be a waste of effort.
Zhang Xiaoman stared at her movements, somewhat confused: "Yue Huai? What are you doing?"
Gu Yuehuai replied calmly: "Measure the water temperature. The sea water is getting colder and colder."
After hearing this, Zhang Xiaoman couldn't help biting her lip.
She grew up by the sea, so she naturally knew that the cold sea water could cause hypothermia. Even if Shi Wanting was lucky enough to grab a piece of driftwood or a reef, her body would remain submerged in the water and she would not be able to hold on sooner or later.
After a while, Gu Yuehuai finally detected a humanoid creature in the sea, but there were no signs of life.
She slowly withdrew her hand, frowned and looked at the sea. The wind blew past, rolling up the waves.
At this time, another burst of hurried footsteps was heard, and then Gu Yuehuai was embraced in Weiliang's arms.
Yan Shaoyu's chest kept rising and falling, and the hot breath after running sprayed on the top of Gu Yuehuai's head. His body trembled slightly, and his low voice contained some fear: "You're okay, I'm glad you're okay, I'm glad you're okay."
Gu Yuehuai did not know how to swim, but he knew it when he met the wolves in the valley.
As soon as he heard the whistle, he knew something happened at the beach and rushed over. Fortunately, it was not her.
"I'm fine, don't worry, it's just that someone did fall into the sea." Gu Yuehuai slightly withdrew from Yan Shaoyu's arms, moved her fingers slightly, and pointed in a direction unnoticeably. She frowned slightly and shook her head.
Yan Shaoyu pursed his thin lips, received Gu Yuehuai's signal, took a set of equipment from the soldiers who were still coming in an endless stream, and jumped into the sea after dressing neatly. He was agile, like a dragon entering the sea.
During this process, Zhang Xiaoman didn't know how to react until Yan Shaoyu went into the sea to search and rescue, then she came to her senses.
She prayed silently in her heart that Shi Wanting could be rescued safely, although the hope was very slim.
