Chapter 172: Captain, whose photo is this?
It rained for five days, freezing many chickens, ducks and geese to death. They could only survive on the dry food stored at home.
No one dared to go out, except the heroes charging at the front.
Some old houses in the city were destroyed and many people were buried inside.
After receiving the news, the rescue team rushed in the heavy rain and carried out a search and rescue operation for two days and two nights.
"Captain, whose photo is this?"
Zhou Shun moved closer to Zhong Heyang and took a peek at the photo in his hand.
It was just picked up by Zhong Heyang from the waste.
It was raining too heavily outside, so the rescue team was divided into several small teams, which took turns searching.
Now it was Zhong Heyang's team's turn to rest. Everyone fell asleep on the ground, except Zhong Heyang, who was sitting alone in the corner, staring at the photos in a daze.
The dark circles under his eyes were clearly getting darker, but at this moment he seemed to have gained some spiritual support.
"Is this the child of someone you know?"
Zhou Shun frowned, "That shouldn't be the case. I should know everyone you know. Could it be that you have an illegitimate child outside?"
"Are you worthy of your sister-in-law?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Heyang kicked him directly.
Zhou Shun cried out "Ouch" and fell directly into the rain. "Why did you kick me? Are you angry because of shame?"
Zhong Heyang put away the photo and put it into the inner pocket of his military coat close to his chest. He looked down at his subordinate who was lying on the ground in a somewhat embarrassed state and forced out two words.
"blindness."
Zhou Shun: “???”
He got up from the ground unconvinced, "No! Whose photo is that?"
Zhong Heyang ignored him and turned away.
Zhou Shun chased after him without giving up, "Tell me now! If you don't, when I see my sister-in-law later, I will accuse you of hiding photos of other women!"
Zhong Heyang paused, as if he found it a little funny, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "If you have the guts, just go ahead."
"You! All right! Don't blame me for trying to sow discord between you and your wife! You forced me to do this! If you can't coax your sister-in-law, don't blame me!"
Lu Zhengnan gritted his teeth and wished he could fly back to the military compound right away to complain to Lin Ziqiu in person.
"idiot."
Zhong Heyang cursed with a smile and ignored him. He had rested enough and was ready to continue the rescue.
When he rushed to the scene, he found that the Tian family and the Li family were living in the collapsed old house.
He almost lost his mind at that time, fearing that Mr. Li and Tian Gui's family would die.
Fortunately, a neighbor who escaped told them that the group had been picked up by Lin Ziqiu on the first day of the rain, which made him feel relieved.
The photo he just picked up was of Lin Ziqiu when he was a child.
He was very young, probably only four or five years old.
She was held in the arms of her mother Li Yan, with such a bright smile. She must have been very happy and carefree at that time, the apple of her mother and grandfather's eyes.
Who could have thought that she would encounter so much later?
Zhong Heyang's heart aches whenever he thinks of how she has suffered so much injustice and pain in the Lin family during those years and how she has become so strong and independent because she has no one to rely on.

On the third day after the heavy rain blocked the city, Shen Xiu received food and a letter from her husband Meng Zhiwei.
There was no food stored at home, and even Meng Zhiwei thought his wife would stay at her parents' home during the New Year, but he didn't expect that she would come back to accompany him.
As the commander of this rescue operation, Meng Zhiwei had no time to spare to come back and deliver food to his wife.
There was no extra food in the army, so he divided out his own food, making up half a bag of rice, and asked someone to drive it to the military compound.
In the rescue team, a comrade was hit by a collapsed roof beam while trying to save a child. Fortunately, he was rescued and his lower body was paralyzed, but he saved his life.
Huang Bin is a child of a wealthy family. His life story is very similar to Zhong Zhiyang's. His parents died early, and he only has a grandfather in the family who depends on him for everything.
Mr. Huang was their former leader.
After learning that he was paralyzed, Huang Bin lost all his energy and seemed to have lost hope of living.
Meng Zhiwei had no choice but to send someone to send him back to the military compound and to his grandfather.
And also deliver food to Shen Xiu.
In the letter, Meng Zhiwei briefly talked about Huang Bin's situation and wanted Shen Xiu to accompany Huang Bin to the Huang family to at least give an explanation to Mr. Huang.
He knew that this would undoubtedly cause a lot of trouble for his wife. After all, Mr. Huang's temper was notoriously bad in the compound.
Besides, he only has one grandson, Huang Bin, whom he treats as important as his own eye.
You know, Huang Bin suffered such a serious injury, he would probably be furious and heartbroken.
But he was really worried about Huang Bin's condition. With Mr. Huang looking after him, at least he would not be in any danger.
Shen Xiu felt uncomfortable when she saw the person sitting in the back of the car with his head down.
Her son and daughter-in-law are not around, but she treats Huang Bin as her youngest son.
How could he, a man with such ambitions and ideals, bear to become a disabled person?
"Xiao Bin..."
Shen Xiu had already burst into tears when she was reading the letter, and now her voice was choked with sobs and she could hardly speak.
Huang Bin seemed not to hear anything, and buried his face under the brim of his army green hat.
"Aunt, please get in the car quickly. I'll take you to Huang's house and we have to go back in a hurry." The comrade who was driving urged.
"Oh, okay, okay."
Shen Xiu wiped her tears, opened the car door with trembling hands, and got in.
The moment she came in, Huang Bin moved to the side, like a hedgehog, curling himself up and unwilling to communicate with others.
"Wait! I'm going too!" Just as the car was about to start, Ruan Qing ran out wearing only cotton slippers.
Shen Xiu was surprised, "Qingqing? You..."
"There are seats anyway. I haven't seen Grandpa Huang for a long time. Let's go see him." Ruan Qing called into the house twice, "Zhong Zhiyang, help me move a few bags of rice and some meat! Put it on my account!"
Zhong Zhiyang has gotten used to being ordered around by this eldest lady these days. What should he do? She is not only his eldest sister-in-law's guest, but also his second sister's good sister and his former boss.
With several identities, he can only "serve" the young lady.
“Here it comes!”
Seeing how hard he was working, Tian Xiaofeng kindly went over to help, and soon he had moved all the things to the passenger seat.
Ruan Qing directly opened the door where Huang Bin was sitting. She half-opened her eyes and said, "Hey, sit over there."
Huang Bin remained indifferent and didn't even raise his head.
Ruan Qing put her hands on her hips and said, "If you don't let me, I'll sit on you."
After saying this, Huang Bin supported himself on the seat with his hands with great effort, and dragged his unconscious lower body a few centimeters to the side.
Ruan Qing just stood there, watching him exert his strength quietly.
