Chapter 228 His wife loves him very much
Realizing what had happened, he turned and looked in the direction of his third uncle and the others.
"Third Uncle? Uncle Zhong? Sister-in-law Xu, Sister-in-law Hu, how are you?"
A response came quickly: "We're all fine."
After saying that, the third uncle asked anxiously, "How are you, Si Si?"
The sound just now came from the direction of the young couple.
The storage room was pitch black, and Uncle San couldn't see anything. He could only stare anxiously.
Jiang Si said, "I'm fine."
She wasn't sure if Huo Tingzhou was alright.
Just then, Huo Tingzhou's coughing voice rang in my ears, "I'm fine..."
"How could nothing be wrong!" Jiang Si didn't believe a word of it.
She clearly felt something fall from above, and it was quite heavy.
She could even hear his muffled groans!
After rummaging around for a while, Jiang Si found a flashlight in her bag.
She grabbed it and pressed the light on forcefully.
The next second, a dim beam of light shone on Huo Tingzhou.
Jiang Si gasped in shock.
At this moment, a cement slab about 60 or 70 centimeters long was pressing heavily on Huo Tingzhou's back.
"Quickly, everyone come and help."
Uncle San and Uncle Zhong rushed over immediately, using the light from their flashlights.
It took the two of them seven or eight minutes to move the cement slab off the ground.
Jiang Si immediately checked Huo Tingzhou's back.
There was no broken skin, but my back was already covered in bruises.
His complexion wasn't good either; he was almost as pale as a sheet of paper.
Jiang Si touched this and that, "How are you? Does it hurt anywhere?"
Huo Tingzhou shook his head. "It's nothing, it doesn't hurt at all."
Jiang Si became even more worried upon hearing this.
Getting injured is not scary.
What's frightening is that there are no external injuries or bleeding, and it even seems like nothing's wrong.
Worried that he might be bleeding internally, Jiang Si quickly said, "Don't move yet, let me apply some ointment to reduce the swelling."
Huo Tingzhou was about to say that it was unnecessary.
He had suffered much more serious injuries before.
But when he saw Jiang Si's icy face, he knew it was best to keep quiet.
Otherwise, the more you talk, the more mistakes you make.
Without saying a word, he obediently turned his back.
"Just bear with it!"
Jiang Si poured some spiritual spring water from the kettle and first used a cotton swab to wipe his back.
Then I applied a medicated ointment to reduce swelling and bruising, and finally bandaged his wound.
"young married woman--"
Huo Tingzhou looked at his upper body, which was wrapped in bandages, and gave a helpless twitch of his lips.
I used to hear people say that there's a kind of coldness called "your parents feel cold."
At the time, he thought it was a bit exaggerated.
Now that it was his turn, Huo Tingzhou suddenly understood.
In this world, besides your parents, no one else seems to feel cold.
There's another kind of hurt, which is when your wife feels hurt.
But thinking about it made him feel as sweet as if he had eaten honey.
My wife really loves him!
Jiang Si finished tying the last knot, and seeing that he had only said half of what he wanted to say, she looked up at him.
"Is it wrapped a little too tightly? Or is the knot... not tied properly?"
This was the first time she had ever bandaged someone's wound.
If she were to tie a knot, she would only tie a bow.
"Why don't you tie it yourself? I only know how to tie a bow."
As she spoke, Jiang Si was about to start untying the knot.
"No need, this is fine," Huo Tingzhou said.
"Really?"
Jiang Si always felt that there was an inexplicable incongruity between this bow and his mischievous personality.
Huo Tingzhou, without changing his expression, said again, "Really."
"Well... okay then."
Seeing that he didn't seem to be doing it reluctantly, Jiang Si didn't continue the topic.
She handed her a kettle filled with spiritual spring water, saying, "Your lips are chapped, drink some water to soothe your throat."
Huo Tingzhou obediently did as he was told.
After drinking a few mouthfuls of water, I calmed down for a while.
Seeing that the sound of wind and rain was noticeably quieter than before, Huo Tingzhou stood up and said.
"Honey, I have to go outside and check the situation. Be careful."
"Wait a minute, take this with you."
After rummaging through the contents with a flashlight, Jiang Si took out a package and handed it to him.
She didn't know what the situation was like outside.
But the storage room they were in was already the safest place in the entire auditorium, without this.
Even so, a small-scale collapse still occurred.
The situation outside is only more serious than inside.
Huo Tingzhou: "What is this?"
Jiang Si said, "These are the medicines we prepared beforehand. I kept some for myself. You can take these to the army doctor."
"That package of oil paper contains ginseng slices. If you encounter someone who is seriously injured and in shock, give them one to suck on."
Before slicing the ginseng, Jiang Si soaked it in a spiritual spring for a period of time.
She wasn't sure what the specific effects would be.
But trying is better than not trying at all.
Huo Tingzhou fell silent at this moment. This century-old ginseng was part of his third uncle's dowry for his wife.
The agreement was that this was to be saved for her to use when she gave birth.
Unexpectedly—
"Don't worry, I kept half of the ginseng."
Jiang Si knew what he was worried about, and urged him after she finished speaking, "You should go quickly, saving lives is the most important thing."
Huo Tingzhou snapped out of his daze and nodded heavily, "Wife, I thank you on their behalf."
Jiang Si gave him an amused look. "Go on."
Huo Tingzhou was gone for six or seven hours, during which time Jiang Si went outside to take a look.
Many people were injured this time, but fortunately most of them suffered only superficial injuries.
Thanks to sufficient medicine and timely treatment, the overall outcome has exceeded everyone's expectations.
Moreover, having gone through a life-or-death ordeal together, everyone cherishes this hard-won peace even more now.
When Jiang Si came out, she saw a peaceful and harmonious scene.
She even saw two of the most notorious rivals in the family compound.
They actually shook hands, made peace, and sat down together!
When Huo Tingzhou returned, Jiang Si was still awake.
"It's past ten o'clock, why aren't you asleep yet?"
After saying that, Huo Tingzhou sat down on the ground and pulled the person into his arms.
Jiang Si leaned on his shoulder, and the couple snuggled together like that.
"If you're sleepy, you can rest your head on my lap and sleep for a while," Huo Tingzhou said softly.
Jiang Si shook her head, said she wasn't sleepy, and then asked, "What's the situation outside?"
"The rain has subsided a lot and should stop by tomorrow morning."
"However, it will probably take three to four days for the water in the residential compound to drain completely."
"So I can't go back for the next few days, I'll have to sleep on the floor here."
"What’s wrong with you?"
Noticing the low tone in his voice, Jiang Si squeezed his hand. "What happened?"
Huo Tingzhou remained silent for a long time.
"More than a dozen young soldiers were seriously injured. The military doctor said they needed to be operated on as soon as possible, otherwise..."
There was no need to say anything more; Jiang Si understood his feelings at that moment.
The entire military region is currently without water and electricity.
Even with tonight's extra-time repairs, the surgery can't be performed until tomorrow morning at the earliest.
Whether a wound soaked in sewage will become infected later is something even military doctors probably can't guarantee.
"Did you give them ginseng slices to suck on?"
"Um."
Huo Tingzhou took her hand and placed it to his lips, his gratitude beyond words.
"The army doctor said that it was all thanks to your century-old ginseng, otherwise they might not have made it through the night."
Jiang Si reached out and hugged his neck tightly. "Don't think too much. Maybe everything will be fine after the surgery tomorrow."
Huo Tingzhou bent down following her force.
Even in the darkness, when he couldn't see anything, he still managed to pinpoint the location of her lips.
After a light kiss, he said, "Sleep now, I'll stay with you."
After saying that, he gently massaged her scalp again.
Jiang Si wasn't sleepy at first, but as she massaged her, she unknowingly fell asleep.
When I woke up again, it was already broad daylight outside.
Jiang Si looked up and saw that the soldiers from the defense unit were dismantling the window frames.
We have no choice but to demolish it; thousands of people have been trapped inside for a whole day.
The smell inside the auditorium now is comparable to that of a biological weapon.
Due to limited space in the auditorium, Jiang Si could only rinse her mouth with salt water and then went to the window to check the situation.
Although I had mentally prepared myself for it yesterday.
But after glancing at the situation outside the window, Jiang Si couldn't help but feel a little alarmed.
Xu Mingjuan sighed, "The roofs of the barracks and canteen have been ripped open so big, I guess the family compound isn't much better off."
Jiang Si comforted her, "What's done is done, there's no use thinking about it now."
"We are already incredibly lucky to be alive."
Xu Mingjuan touched her belly and smiled, "Yes, that's what I think too."
The wind was strong by the window, and both of them were pregnant.
So I only stood there for a short while before going back.
Jiang Si felt that there was nothing wrong with what she said.
But unexpectedly, it was just because of such a comforting word.
She was actually being criticized!
