Chapter 280: Captain Liu, the One Who Has No Hope in Life



Chapter 280: Captain Liu, the One Who Has No Hope in Life

If someone is injured at this time, there is a 90% chance that he was injured while clearing the rubble.

After delivering the medicine promised yesterday to the medical center, the two asked someone about the situation of Liu Hefeng and the others.

Because the resettlement site is located in the military area, there are limited beds.

So after they were injured, we treated their wounds and sent them home to recuperate, since their home was here anyway.

Now that they knew it, the two of them decided to go over and take a look.

I asked and found out that Liu Hefeng’s home was on the 11th floor.

After going upstairs, the two took off their protective clothing and masks and put them in a bag.

I knocked on the door and a woman in her early thirties opened it. She should be Liu Hefeng's wife.

"Hello, who are you?"

Liu Hefeng's wife had never seen Han Ying and the others, and they didn't look like her husband's comrades-in-arms.

"Hello, sister-in-law. We are friends of Captain Liu. We heard that he was injured, so we came to see him."

Han Ying smiled at the woman in front of her.

"Oh, you are Han Ying and Lu Yuan, right? A Feng often mentions you. Come in."

"He said all the delicious food he brought back was given by you. Thank you."

Liu Hefeng's wife let the two men in and spoke as she closed the door.

On New Year's Eve, her daughter was so happy that her husband brought back a piece of cake.

It was also at that time that He Hui remembered the names Han Ying and Lu Yuan.

"You're too polite, sister-in-law. Captain Liu was helping us repair the wall, and we were afraid he wouldn't be able to make it home in time for dinner, so we prepared some food for him to take back."

When we entered Liu Hefeng's house, we found that it was very small, probably because housing was also tight in the military base.

"You are too polite. There are so many good things, enough to invite a lot of people."

He Hui is not an ungrateful person. Every time her husband brings back food, the meat alone weighs one or two kilograms.

How many points did a pound of meat cost in the mall at that time?

The money from the meat alone is enough to treat two or three people.

"Hello, auntie and uncle."

A little girl of seven or eight years old saw Han Ying and the others come in and greeted them timidly.

"Hello, this is my first visit. I brought a watermelon that I grew myself for you to try."

Han Ying took out a watermelon from her backpack. The watermelon was not big, only about four or five pounds.

"Watermelons this big are so rare nowadays. It's so rare for you to grow them. You can keep them for yourself or sell them for food. It would be great if you could save them instead of wasting them for us."

Food shortages must have increased after the earthquake. I heard that the entire farm collapsed and most of the crops were crushed. Not much could be salvaged.

A watermelon weighing four or five pounds was not considered big before the end of the world.

But nowadays, even a pound of watermelon is a luxury item and can be exchanged for at least dozens of pounds of grain.

"Later, you guys help me persuade him. He said lying down is uncomfortable and he keeps wanting to sit up."

He Hui felt helpless. Her husband was good in every way except that he seemed to have ADHD.

It's the same at home. I can't stay idle or sit still.

He cleaned whenever he had free time. Before the apocalypse, the floor had to be mopped several times a day, and the coffee table was almost covered with calluses from all the rubbing he did.

After cleaning, he didn't take a rest but started exercising.

So she always teases her husband, saying that he has ADHD.

"good."

Just as the two agreed, they seemed to hear the voices of Han Ying and the others, and several people walked out of a room at the back.

"Are you here to see the company commander too?"

The person who spoke was Zhuang Xinghe. They came to see the company commander as they would be going on another mission soon.

Han Ying turned her head and saw three people walking out of the room.

The Erhua brothers and a stranger, they should also be in the same company.

"Well, I heard he was injured, so I came to check it out."

Lu Yuan nodded and looked towards the room they had just walked out of. Liu Hefeng should be recuperating in that room.

"Then go in later and tell the captain not to sit up. He won't listen. He has internal injuries and needs to rest more. You don't know, that thing hit him directly on the back, and he vomited blood on the spot. I was scared..."

Zhuang Xinghe vividly described the process of Liu Hefeng's injury.

It turned out that they were outside the base, cleaning up a pile of bodies buried under the rubble.

The cleanup was almost complete, but who knew that a three-story building at the back would collapse.

At that time, a wall collapsed and directly crushed Liu Hefeng and others.

Liu Hefeng pushed away several of his comrades at the first opportunity, and most of the fallen bricks and concrete slabs hit him.

So he was the most seriously injured and vomited blood on the spot, obviously suffering internal injuries.

"good."

After the two agreed, they walked towards the room.

"Well, sister-in-law, we'll go back first."

Zhuang Xinghe and the other three ignored the watermelon on the table and walked straight out the door.

"Don't go, Xiao Han and Xiao Lu brought a watermelon over, and I was just about to cut it."

These are her husband's soldiers. They visit them frequently and share the good things with her daughter.

So they got a watermelon and didn't plan to eat it alone.

"No, we still have a mission, we have to leave immediately."

Just kidding, who doesn’t love watermelon?

But that was a gift from Han Ying and Lu Yuan to the company commander. Didn’t you see that the company commander’s daughter was looking at the watermelon eagerly?

How could they have the nerve to compete with a little girl for food?

The three of them looked determined and walked out directly.

But when they got out of the door, the three of them thought of the watermelon and their mouths were drooling like crazy.

Especially the other person. After all, the Erhua brothers had eaten at Han Ying's house once before, and they were not as greedy as the other comrade.

“These little thorns.”

He Hui shook her head. She knew the homes of those three people, so she planned to call them to come and have a piece when she was cutting the meat.

Han Ying and Lu Yuan came to Liu Hefeng's room.

When I walked in, I saw Liu Hefeng lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling with hopeless eyes.

The doctor told him that he had to lie down for at least a week before he could start doing some light activities.

A week? Her wife didn’t even lie in bed for that long during her confinement period.

Just now, that bad-mouthed Zhuang Xinghe told him to stay in bed longer during the confinement period so as not to have any sequelae.

"You guys are here? I heard your voices just now, but I'm in confinement and can't go out to greet you. Sorry."

Liu Hefeng heard the noise of two people coming in and said something self-deprecatingly.

There were three stools in front of the bed, which should be where Zhuang Xinghe and the others were sitting just now.

Han Ying sat near the bedside table, and Lu Yuan sat next to her.

"Internal injuries can be serious or minor. For the sake of my sister-in-law and your daughter, you should be obedient and lie down for a few more days. Otherwise, if you are left with sequelae, do you think your sister-in-law will support you for the rest of your life?"

Han Ying's words were unpleasant to hear, but she knew best what words would touch people's hearts the most after the end of the world.
