But if you lose your life, what’s the use of having more money?
Even the old lady Xiang, who had just refused to cooperate, reluctantly handed over several large bags of food under the intimidating gazes of the sisters-in-law.
After the clutter and miscellaneous items were cleared out, the auditorium seemed much emptier.
"Captain, the windbreaks have all been built to the designated height."
"The defense department just came over, and all the windows in the auditorium have been secured."
Listening to Captain Sun's report, Huo Tingzhou breathed a sigh of relief.
They had made all possible preparations, and the rest was up to fate.
"Inform the commander to have all soldiers rest in place."
"Yes, Captain."
Captain Sun originally wanted to invite Captain Huo to join their group and have a chat, but he didn't have the chance to open his mouth.
Huo Tingzhou had already raised his foot and walked towards the person he had been thinking about.
In fact, he had fallen in love with her a long time ago.
"Wife, why are you here alone?"
As he spoke, Huo Tingzhou looked her up and down.
After making sure she was alright, he looked around again.
"Where are Third Uncle and Uncle Zhong? Didn't they come to the auditorium?"
The head bowed in response to him with only two words: "Bow your head."
Huo Tingzhou did as he was told.
Jiang Si stepped forward, took out a towel prepared in advance, and wiped the rain and mud off his face.
Then he said, "We are all fine, don't worry. Third Uncle and Uncle Zhong just helped carry the sandbags and are now resting in the storage room."
"Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Xu are also with us."
After explaining her recent situation in detail, Jiang Si turned to ask the question that concerned her most.
"Why did you come here so suddenly? Didn't you say you could only come after the typhoon was over?"
Maybe even Jiang Si herself didn't realize how worried her tone and eyes were when she asked these questions.
Huo Tingzhou enjoyed it and quickly explained.
"The island's reserves of antibiotics and disinfectants are low, and the troops received orders from their superiors to deliver a batch of medicine before the typhoon makes landfall, so..."
"So, you just applied for it, right?" Jiang Si knew it without having to guess.
With his current level, he is not needed for a mission like transporting medicines.
Huo Tingzhou did not deny it, but just looked at her seriously.
As a soldier, he has done what he should do.
As a husband, he has not done enough.
"Wife--" Seeing that she didn't say a word, Huo Tingzhou's heart suddenly became alarmed.
"I'm not angry."
Jiang Si expressed her attitude immediately.
The look in his eyes was no different from the look he gave to Erha. "Are you stupid?"
It's not just about being angry.
Huo Tingzhou rarely spoke sarcastically, "Well, stupid people have good fortune, otherwise I wouldn't be able to marry a wife as beautiful as you."
"..." Jiang Si was so angry that she laughed.
She had to admit one thing.
In fact, the moment she saw Huo Tingzhou's back, she was actually happy.
However, this happiness did not last long.
Jiang Si and Huo Tingzhou went to the storage room and planned to rest for a while.
A crackling sound of electricity suddenly rang out from the speakers above the auditorium.
Although the broadcast was intermittent, everyone's expressions changed instantly when the word "tornado" came out.
"Everyone, squat down and cover your head with your hands."
As soon as Huo Tingzhou finished speaking, he pulled Jiang Si behind him, his arms tightly around her head and back.
"Don't be afraid, nothing will happen." Huo Tingzhou's voice sounded above her head.
Jiang Si opened her mouth, wanting to say that she was not afraid.
Before he could even speak, the ground began to shake.
[Sorry, I have some family matters, so I will take a day off today. I will update one chapter every day to keep updating. I will update normally every other day.]
