Chapter 226 An Accidental Success
The military canned food was very greasy and Su Ying felt full after eating only a little, so Gu Jinghong ate the rest.
Su Ying looked at him and couldn't help asking.
"Have you been unable to restock your supplies recently? This can of food is your last, right? If we finish it all at once, will we..."
She actually felt a little regretful. If she had known that she would go with Gu Jinghong, she should have bought some more steamed buns and other food from that big brother's house and carried them with her. But it was too late to say anything now.
She quickly looked around and saw Zhang Su not far away, staring at her intently.
Su Ying was startled. Her mind was full of Gu Jinghong feeding her canned food, and she forgot to leave some for Comrade Zhang.
Gu Jinghong looked at Su Ying's eyes full of guilt, took out a can of food from his bag and threw it at him.
Zhang Su hurried over and took it in his hand, asking if it was for him.
Gu Jinghong rolled his eyes at him, then spoke in a deep voice to the soldiers behind him.
"Let's eat something first. We might have a tough battle soon, so save your energy."
After receiving the order, everyone took out the food from their backpacks and ate it. No one spoke, and everyone worked at the same speed, finishing it in three minutes.
Gu Jinghong looked at Su Ying, his eyes softening.
"If you're tired, just lean on me and rest for a while. We'll proceed with the next move after Du Feng and the others come back. Make sure you take this time to rest."
"What about you?"
In Su Ying's opinion, Gu Jinghong's health is worse than hers, and he is still a patient.
"I'll rest too. I can just lean against a tree."
In fact, Su Ying really wanted Gu Jinghong to sleep against her for a while, and she could just lean against a big tree, but now they were on the march, and Gu Jinghong's soldiers were all around him, so he needed to maintain his dignity.
So Su Ying just held him and didn't really lean on him. She asked softly.
"When can we get out of here?"
Gu Jinghong lowered his head.
"What's up?"
"There are two comrades from the Ministry of National Defense waiting for us in the village. If we don't return soon, I'm afraid they'll get worried and won't be able to find us to report back."
Hearing Su Ying talking about the Ministry of National Defense, Gu Jinghong's eyes suddenly fixed, he sat up and looked at her sideways.
"Why are people from the Ministry of Defense following you? What happened?"
He didn't have time to ask the moment before, but he kept it in mind. He wanted to wait until the operation was over to ask Su Ying what was going on.
But when I heard her talking about the Ministry of National Defense, I asked her.
Su Ying glanced at him, thought about it, and did not hide it.
"I returned to Jiangcheng not long after you left. Chang Shuwen warned me that there was danger in the county, so I took my mother back to Jiangcheng. But not long ago, I also encountered danger in Jiangcheng. Someone stole my bicycle and stopped me at the entrance of the alley, so the dean helped me apply for protection."
When Su Ying said this, Gu Jinghong's face had become very ugly. He held Su Ying's hand tightly, with a cold look flashing in his eyes.
"You said someone is against you?"
Su Ying hurriedly.
"Don't get excited. I'm fine. It was a close call. I sensed danger and immediately thought of a solution."
Gu Jinghong looked at her and asked in a deep voice.
"Did you call me or send me a telegram?"
Su Ying smiled.
"I sent a telegram, but you should have been here by then, so you didn't receive it."
There was some guilt in Gu Jinghong's eyes, and he murmured softly.
"I'm sorry, when you were in danger, I..."
